Hands in his lap and knees together, Tava sat in the chamber he'd been led to by the acolyte of Varina, the twin-formed god(dess) of fertility and lovers. His simple attire, roughspun trousers and a loose shirt with hard worn leather sandles, stood out among the satins and silks that the room boasted. Heavy drapes hid the two tall, narrow windows from sight and gave the room a soft, warm coziness that Tava's anxiety refused to let him enjoy. He sat, folded in on himself trying to touch as little as possible of the finery in a room he felt intensely out of place in.

He'd come to the temple not long after midday, his father having wordlessly led him to the street outside and pressed a small pouch of coins into his hand before leaving his middle son with the implied command to enter the temple and place the offering before Varina's altar. Rumors ran wild among the young men of the city about what went on within the cream colored stone walls and tall ivy clad trellised walks of the Temple of Varina. They would tell great meandering tall tales about how they had snuck into these fabled gardens of delight and seen things. The telling of these tales were invariably met with disbelief by the listeners as no one could prove that they'd ever really seen what went on within the holy brothel of Varina's temple and the guardians who kept the private places private were notoriously vigilant against prying eyes and nimble climbers.

Tava had stepped with small unsure steps across the threshold of the temple, into the softly perfumed interior of the lazily curved arches. Tales told by the town youths always spoke of how they strode manfully into the interior that had beautiful men and lithesome women draped across them within moments. On the contrary, Tava had seen what looked an almost ordinary temple to him. A great aisle down the center with benches on either side for worshipers and the stone altar at the end of this carpeted aisle. It had been the details that had made the difference. His sharp young eyes had seen the cushions on the benches where other temples might be bare wood or stone, and the scents in the air were sweet fragrances of flowers and spring, intoxicating in their allure, and upon the altar a golden statue of Varina dancing with themself. In place of the rumored sprawling figures of overt sexuality, Tava only glimpsed the occasional acolyte covered from head to foot in robes that obscured all but their usually humanoid shape.

Screwing up his courage, he approached the polished stone altar with its silk drapery, his eyes taking in the golden statue to Varina and the sinuous embrace of the Aspects of Varina as they danced together. Depictions of Varina were always of at least two figures dancing or otherwise intertwined, sharing features and neither one wholly male or female in their guise. So entwined they were that it was impossible for Tava to ever tell where one began and the other ended. Upon the altar, before the statue sat a wide and shallow brass bowl in mute invitation.

Heart thumping in his breast he lifted the small pouch that he'd been given by his father and set it into the bowl, then snatched back his hand as if it might catch fire from being too close to the image of the god(dess). He watched the pouch settle into the bottom of the brass dish and stared, not at all certain what to expect. He stood watching the brass bowl for a time, not sure what he should do and feeling painfully out of place here amid the columns and curtains. As he gazed around the temple interior, unsure of what he should do, he heard a distant bell chime and the brass dish before the altar lit up with a ghostly pink flame that danced along the curved interior and over the pouch of coins. Then the offering bowl was empty, the pouch of coins having vanished. He gaped at the now empty bowl staring and utterly unaware as two robed figures approached him.

The robed figures had spoken kindly to him, though now as he sat alone in this perfumed chamber, surrounded by luxury, he couldn't remember exactly what they'd said. They'd come to him right after his offering had vanished and been kind and soft of voice and led him with reassurances to this room and left him. Moments later they'd returned with a tray of fruits and an ewer of something cold that glistened with condensation.

Tava still sat folded in on himself, eyes fixated on the ewer, having rarely ever had any kind of drink that was cold before. That required magic or ice hauled at great expense down from the mountains. But the sight of the dew studded metal fixated him and he watched the droplets grow and slither down the wall of the vessel. So taken by this and his own thoughts, he was unaware that he'd been joined by another person.

Rho entered the room silently, his scaled feet and carefully polished toe claws making the barest susurrus on the rich carpet. He was able to look at the young man who had come to his god(dess)'s temple today before the lad became aware of his presence. Dark hair, olive skin, lovely brown eyes, though perhaps he was a little skinny, Rho thought as he allowed himself to make enough noise to draw those intense brown eyes his way.

"Welcome." A rich voice said from beneath a deep hood. "Be at ease here in the house of Varina. I am Rho, an acolyte of opening."

Tava stared at Rho as he spoke. The hooded figure was shorter than the human, coming up perhaps to his chest, and claw tipped scaled hands extended from the sleeves of the robe. "A kobold!" Tava thought, having seen the small reptilian humanoids in the cities before. The other young men that Tava knew often spoke of how lusty and willing they were, it made sense that Varina's temple would have eager little kobold women to service their supplicants.

Rho watched Tava's surprise and smiled to himself, undressing with no great haste, revealing burnished scales in a deep earthy bronze that covered most of his body, but with vibrant ruby iridescence upon the scales of his brow and stripes along his chest and inner thighs and hips. Beneath the robe he wore only gold bands and jewelry and a pendant that hung down his smooth chest that depicted the entwined figures of his patron.

"What is your name?" Rho asked as he drew near Tava and the tray of fruit and wine."And how did you come to Varina's arms?"

"I'm Tava, and my father sent me, well, he said I was old enough and that he didn't want to pay some dockside woman to teach me when there was a temple here." He trailed off uncomfortably as Rho listened and busied himself pouring two small cups of the strong, sweet wine the other acolytes had brought.

"So he thought the temple of Varina might "make a man of you" then?" Rho said as he tilted his angular muzzle and gave the human a smile that he'd had to practice in a mirror. Body language sometimes needed translating between species and this was no exception. What was a reassuring gesture to one was a threat display to another.

"Yes, miss Rho."

Rho paused for a moment, the smile on his face making the subtle changes that differentiated it between a human gesture to one that indicated defensiveness among his kind. Luckily Tava didn't notice and Rho made a mental note to adjust his approach with the young man.

As he had been waiting in his chamber, Rho had heard the small chime upon his personal altar that had signaled that Varina had accepted a supplicant and had chosen the kobold to serve. Varina knew the desires that hid in the heart of those who came before their altar, even if the petitioners themselves were not fully aware of them. So, if Varina had chosen Rho instead of one of the sisters, obviously Tava's time here was meant to be with him.

Tava's eyes roamed the short, surprisingly stocky figure of the kobold, the flat chest and scaled body naked save for jewelry and Tava was torn between being curious and thinking he should look away despite the fact that the small creature's body had none of the things he'd always been told he shouldn't stare at on women. Even between Rho's legs was just an indistinct bump with a subtle vertical slit. The human looked down as Rho approached, smiling again as the kobold offered the human a fine earthenware cup full of cold wine.

"Here," Rho said with a smile, "Have a some wine and we'll go at whatever pace is comfortable for you."

Tava reached out with a hand calloused from work and took the cup from the small kobold. He timidly returned the smile, starting to feel himself relax as this small creature was kind to him.

The wine was honey sweet and cold as a winter day. The first taste of it struck Tava and as it warmed on his tongue he found himself awash in the cloying sweetness. Beside him Rho murmured a brief word of thanks to Varina before also taking a sip of the strong, sweet wine. The kobold could feel the rush of the herbal additives that the temple vintners used and gave a shiver, knowing that before long the warmth would gather behind his vent and urge him into the physical worship that venerated Varina.

As the wine warmed them both and Rho moved to add a little more to both cups, he said, "I must tell you, before we go any further, that I am not a girl kobold as you might have expected. When you made offering upon Varina's altar, Varina sent who best suited your needs."

Rho watched, ewer in his hand and waiting to pour more wine as Tava processed this and then gasped, "But... its not right for...?"

"In the house of Varina, worship and pleasure come in all forms." The kobold said reassuringly, setting the ewer down on the bench and resting a hand on Tava's knee. "And Varina knows the things you dare not tell anyone else. It is a place to be safe and free."

Tava listened to the words and glanced first down at the scaled hand with the gold claws at his knee and then to where the slit between the kobold's legs began to bulge and a crimson tip pushed free. It took seeing the kobold's arousal to make Tava realize that he'd grown erect himself. His body's response to the incense and wine hidden under his plain breeches and hunched posture. He'd seen men working at the docks, shirtless, laughing, pissing off the side of the boats, and he'd been interested in the ways that his brothers had been interested in the dockside whores. They, the storm worn and worldly women who plied their trade on the waterfront, had always intimidated Tava much more than they had interested him. He'd felt confused and scared when approached by them and so had folded in on himself, denying his interest in both the men and women so much that apparently his father had needed to take pity on him.

The hand on his thigh drew his attention once more and to cover for his nervousness and not knowing what to do he lifted the cup of wine and drank heavily. The tension in his gut was unwinding slowly and and with a tremble he turned to Rho, "What should I do?"

"Would you join me in being bare before Varina's eyes, to start?" The small reptilian asked, nodding to where the twined figures symbol hung on the wall surrounded in satin curtains, "There are no eyes here to see but theirs and mine."

Taking a deep breath, Tava set down the cup and pulled his shirt off, revealing a wiry muscled frame that was, as Rho had suspected, a little on the too-thin side, but with appealing dark brown nipples that made the kobold flick his tongue against his upper teeth in anticipation. Eager to help and fearing the boy might become shy again when getting to this part, Rho reached and tugged gently on the cord that kept the lad's breeches tied up. He grinned at Tava's twitch and yelp of surprise at the assistance.

"Come now. It is only fair as you have seen me."

It was telling that, despite his tension, Tava did not cover himself or resist, in fact going so far as to rise up off the seat slightly to help as Rho undid his breeches and slid them down, freeing the young man's erection to bob up and drool a glistening slickness from the scrunched tip of his foreskin.

"Do you really want to do... this... with me?" The young man asked as Rho tossed his breeches aside and lay both scaled hands on the man's thighs. The touch was cool and smooth and gentle but Tava just stared, lost as to what to do now.

Rho gave the appearance of considering it as he stood before the naked and erect man and rubbed his thighs, spreading them as he stepped forward. As Tava sat and Rho stood they were almost of a height and so the kobold had to lean down as he said, "Definitely." Before slithering his flat, forked tongue out and lathing it across Tava's dark skinned nipple.

The gasp that this earned him made Rho smile his kobold smile and, unseen to Tava, slip further from his vent to hang in a lazy arc almost to his own knees. With smooth and gentle scaled hands, the acolyte took hold of the straining erection that was the boldest part of Tava right now. He was careful not to push the human too far, too soon, as it wouldn't take much to break the spell that Tava's arousal and the sacramental wine were weaving. Rho was careful and deliberate and slid that loose foreskin up and down as he teased the lad's nipples with tongue and scaled lips.

For his efforts the kobold was rewarded with gasps and shivers that gave him pride in a job well done as well as the clumsy grasp of Tava's hands along the kobold's long neck and horns. There was a jump and slight scoot back away from the hands as Tava's doubts began to resurface and Rho stilled his motions before whispering against the human's hairless chest, "Should I continue?"

There was a pause before Tava took a deep breath and whispered, "Yes, please."

The kobold smiled, his own arousal responding to both the aphrodisiac laced wine and the human's inexperienced eagerness. Lower now the kobold kissed, abandoning those nubs of sensitive skin damp to grow chill and stiffen. He took his time, teasing here and there with both smooth scaled hands and the tapered muzzle and flat, forked tongue, hearing the young man huff and sometimes twitch as something was more ticklish than arousing. In time Rho came to nuzzle at the top of the thick thatch of curly dark hair that shrouded the base of his human cock. The herbal infusions in the wine had done their work and the human's cock was rigid, the tip having pushed into view inside that thick foreskin.

Rho delighted in the sight of that upward curving flesh, wrapping a strong hand around the base of the man's shaft and pulling down slowly to watch the rounded knob of Tava's prick push free of the foreskin and the pool of collected precum drip honey-like onto the ruddy scales of the kobold's wrist. He glanced up at Tava's glazed eyes and heated expression while he continued to slowly stroke his cock.

"Let us get you off of this bench and over to our little nest. It is much more comfortable for this. Let Varina take proper care of you there, shall we?"

With that he released Tava's erection and, without thinking about it, lifted his hand up and licked the beads of the young man's precum from his wrist. When he saw that Tava was watching him he gave the human a wink and then stepped away towards a pile of rich pillows on a thick rug. The kobold crossed the room with an intentional sway to his muscular rump, putting on a show for Tava with the long swaying tail and the counterpoint swaying of his bobbing, ridged kobold prick.

Tava found his mouth dry as Rho swayed and slithered, as that was the only word that fit, into the pile of pillows. He was achingly stiff, as hard as he had ever been, and when he rose to follow the alluring reptile he felt a little unsure in his stride. The wine had been very good but also very strong. With as much grace as he could muster he lowered himself into the pillows and soon found smooth, cool scales pressed to him and that strong hand once more caressing his cock and balls.

"There we go." The kobold purred as he leaned down and nuzzled along the curve of the top of Tava's shaft, making the young man gasp again and shift, gripping the rug with his toes and a pillow with his hands. "Have you made up your mind what we should do? How we should have our first sacrament to Varina?"

"I... I'm not sure what you mean."

Rho took his time in responding, playing with the lovely curving cock in his hand, letting the skin slide smoothly back and forth and soon curling his flat tongue over the head and beneath the crown, encouraging Tava to squirm and whine before Rho answered in a lazy way, "Many times when two men make love one will be inside the other. It takes some practice to be painless, I must admit, but it is an amazing sensation to feel someone inside your ass or to be inside someone's ass." He punctuated this statement by giving Tava's cock an encouraging squeeze and stroke from base to tip that once more drooled the young man's clear arousal over his hand, "I might guess this little friend's preference, but think about it while I ask him." To make his point Rho licked the 'little friend' again and slid the hot length halfway into his muzzle.

Tava found it difficult imagining what the little kobold described, partially as he'd never imagined that's how two males might have sex and partially because the tongue and muzzle around his cock was such a wild and new sensation. He squirmed in the pillows, huffing and trying to form words for a few moments before he felt the intense pressure and heat that had built at the base of his cock suddenly spike in intensity.

With a cry that caught the kobold off guard, Tava jerked suddenly and thrust the blunt head of his cock into the back of Rho's muzzle. Surprised at how quickly the young man came, but not wholly unprepared, Rho's hands kneaded firmly at Tava's hips and he writhed that reptile tongue along the underside of the suddenly straining shaft. The man's cock flexed as its underside pulsed against the kobold's practiced tongue. A thick gout of the human's seed splattered into Rho's mouth and he grinned around the prick, suckling it and letting that rich load pool on his tongue. He let Tava's entire climax play out across his tongue and then swallowed the gift before murmuring "Unto Varina."

Rho sat back and left Tava to himself before the pleasant, overstimulated torment became too much. The man's body shone with a misting of sweat and he panted as he lay in the satins. Rho felt warmed by the pleasant sight of the young man trembling softly in the blessing of his god(dess). He let Tava collect himself from the embrace of the twins gift and idly played with his own crimson erection as he admired the too-thin form of his new lover as Tava panted and recovered.

Hardly had half a dozen minutes passed before Tava's brown eyes sought out Rho and saw him lazily playing with the exotic ridges along the upward curving shaft. Well and truly immense for the small male's size it stood out from his hips nearly a handspan and a half. Rho could see the brief flicker of fear on his face at the sight of it that mixed with the wonder and, yes, obvious lust.

Rho released his own cock and slithered near, drawing close and able to nuzzle at the bare, heated chest and one of those stiff nipples as he played his smoothed, blunted talons over the Tava's scrotum and wet prick once again. "What is it you would prefer, supplicant?" Rho teased as his prick nuzzled the human's side. The temperature difference between the kobold and the human intriguing.

"I'm not sure what you mean by being inside one another. You're... very large." Tava said as he trembled at the experienced acolyte's touch along his still rigid prick. "Wouldn't it hurt?"

Rho considered it for a moment as his smoothly polished, blunt clawtip slid in and beneath the human's foreskin, toying around the fat knob of his prick inside the little rim of flesh. "It can, at first. What if I show you how it feels to enter my temple gate and perhaps later I can show you how it feels to receive another man's blessing. Would you like that?"

The kobold asked this as he teased the man further, grinning to himself at the arching hips and growing heated panting as Tava gripped the pillows, too shy and too new to take charge himself.

"Yes... yes, please." The young man groaned, shifting his hips to the teasing talons.

Rho smiled and released the boy's erection and let it slap prettily to the slender belly beneath it. "Very well then. Give me a moment to prepare you." He rose from the lovers nest of satin and pillows and walked to an ornate carved cabinet, withdrawing from it a small glass bottle of oil. Pausing before returning he applied it to two blunted claw tips and oiled his undertail liberally, then returned to Tava's side where the man had sat up and was beginning to come to himself.

Rho couldn't have that as he suspected that should Tava cool down completely that he'd become shy and ashamed again, folding in on himself and that simply wouldn't do. So he crouched and poured a line of cool oil along the underside, now the upward surface, of the human's uncut cock. Tava had begun to speak, to ask what that was, but stopped as his mouth formed an O and then moaned as Rho slickened him from base to crown and even inside the foreskin.

"Lay back down." The small acolyte commanded as he stepped one foot over the young man's hips. "This position is called Varina's Blessed Mount." Rho said as he lowered himself to squat over Tava's waist, his thick-based reptile tail lifting up to reveal a neat little notch between buttocks and tailbase. Oil slicked talons reached back and guided the human prick up to nestle against the greased opening there.

"Now put your hands here." Rho patiently guided Tava to rest his hands on the kobold's hips and smiled as the human stared at the bobbing kobold cock that hung over his chest.

"Can I touch it?" Tava asked, glancing first at the ruby colored ridged shaft and then up at Rho's knowing gaze.

"Of course. Here, hold your hands out."

As Tava obeyed, Rho poured a bit of the oil into the lad's hands and nodded, "Now just rub gently from tip to base, like I did for you."

The humans eyes lit up and he gingerly reached down to take hold of that imposing draconic length, stroking at it and then giving a sudden cry as Rho, using the lesson in mutual masturbation as a distraction, had pressed himself down and slid the tip of Tava's shaft into himself.

"That's right. Try and keep up with touching me as I ride you."

Tava's touch was clumsy but gentle, but Rho reassured him, thinking he'd be quite adept at it given time, and so he cooed pleasantly, making reassuring sounds as he sank lower and fully took Tava within him. Tava was much more an active participant this time, listening as Rho told him to roll his hips and how to grip and stroke his shaft, and the kobold took his time, not pushing the issue and not rushing to get the human to climax too soon.

Though inevitably Tava was panting and thrusting up to meet the kobold's lazy strokes down and leaning forward just enough to reach one of those nipples he enjoyed so much, Rho clenched and squeezed and began to milk the young man in earnest. The hands that had been on Rho's cock had long since gone still as Tava was unable to think beyond the marvelous sensations that Rho's ass provided him.

"Rho, sir, I'm about to... uh... it feels like last time."

"Good, let it happen. Praise Varina." Rho said in a husky voice as he shifted his hips and rump to push his supplicant even further.

The young man's breath was ragged and his slender body tense as he shuddered and bucked, completely unable to resist Rho's ministrations. With a groan Tava cried out, "Unto Varina!" and sprayed his second rich load into Rho's clutching depths.

As Tava began to spasm and cum, Rho dropped firmly down onto the human's lap with a meaty thump and wiggled his hips. The kobold settled and began to squeeze and grip with practiced inner control as Tava's seed flowed into him. Leaning forward he once again lavished teasing attention on the young man's nipples, teasing them as he felt the trembling bucks of his lover's hips. As those began to still Rho restrained himself from teasing further. Instead he lowered himself down to lay atop the taller man and coo reassuringly as he felt the final spasms of the human's cock inside of him.

After a time Tava came back to himself, still within Rho's rear, and glanced down at the softening and slowly retreating kobold cock. The human could feel himself softening some as well, and as Rho rose from him he slipped free amid a small dribble of his own seed.

"You didn't... uh... come?" The human asked, looking up where the kobold stood and used a small towel to clean beneath his tail.

"Not today I didn't," Rho said and then quickly added to forestall the next words already forming on Tava's lips, "and no, don't apologize. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that climax is the only purpose for which we do these things. You did excellently for your first time and I am sure you will do even better next time you come to visit me. I can tell you how to prepare and practice if you decide you wish to have me within you as you were just within me."

The kobold crouched beside Tava and with care not to overstimulate the human began to clean him up as well. "Would you like to learn how?"

Tava nodded eagerly then his face twisted up in concern, "I mean... I don't think this is what my father intended and I really don't think he'll give me more coin as an offering."

Rho thought about that as he lowered himself to sit beside the worried looking young man, "You said your father brought you here and gave you the offering. Is your family new to the city? Does he not know of Varina?"

Tava sat up and looked down at himself, now uncaring of his nudity and far more relaxed with the surroundings than he'd been before. "He's always lived here, grandfather too. It was grandfather's idea to bring me here, said it helped my father when he was young, too. But I don't think I was supposed to hear them talking."

The kobold considered that as he put the lid back on the bottle of oil and stood to replace it in its cabinet, still swaying as he had before and pleased to catch Tava staring appreciatively.

Rho was thoughtful as he returned and sat once again, "Perhaps your father knows more of what is within these walls and what you might find here than you think. Either way, I want you to take this." The kobold pressed a smooth ceramic disc, slightly larger than a coin, into the young man's hand. "Next time you come to the temple place this within the offering bowl. I must leave you now and return to my other duties at the temple. Consider this a gift from Varina as they wish you to come and learn more."

With that Rho leaned in and nuzzled Tava's cheek then stood, gathered his robe, and slipped quietly out. After he'd left Tava lifted the ceramic disc and looked at it, seeing that on one side was marked the entwined figures of Varina and on the other was painted a red clawed hand.
