"Come rat, come to me... Keep looking at my eyesssssss, alwaysss looking into my eyesssss and I will bring you peace... Where the darknesssss envelopesssss you, hugging you closssssse. We will become one together, forever alwayssssssss...."

Joe sat in a corner table with a pint of Guinness standing on the stained table. The otter slowly lifted his dark black sunglasses off from his nose and looked about the room to the huge crowd of furs of various species dancing around under the bright flashing lights.

Joe was wearing his usual attire, which was all black tight leather, from his trousers that clung to his rear showing off all the curves and angles to his leather jacket over his white t-shirt.

Folding the arms of the glasses, he slowly placed them in his jacket pocket and continued to look about the room with a toothy grin on his face. Picking up the glass, he slowly dipped his muzzle into the white froth and took a drink of the thick black liquid, feeling the cold Guinness slide down his throat, making the otter churred softly to himself.

Looking over, past the white froth that moved about as he slowly took in more Guinness; he could see a familiar dark shape heading towards him. Lowering the glass, he smiled as he wiped away the white froth resting on his nose. "Well, hello." Churring softly. "Tired yourself out then?"

Joe watched as a hare sat down at the table and shook his head, before wiping his brow with a paw. "I tell you, there are a lot out there tonight. You sure there isn't a special day today?" Ben said, reaching over to the glass and taking it off the otter before taking a big gulp of the contents.

The otter smiled as he watched the hare gulp down the Guinness and shook his head. "Possibly someone's birthday, so how is the crowd tonight, anyone suitable?"

Ben shook his head. "Nah, too many know someone else tonight. No loners at all, I don't think we're going to find anyone in this club tonight."

Joe frowned and took the glass back from Ben, which had a little bit of Guinness left. "Well, we can't go back empty pawed? I mean, he be pissed." The otter speaking easily since the volume of the music blaring out drowned anything out at close quarters.

The hare nodded and scratched his head. "We could go and search the parks, see if there is anything out there? Unless you are thinking on feeding me to it?"

Joe coughed and spluttered as he spat back into the glass again, placing it down and shook his head at the hare. "No way, it's bad enough we have to work for the thing. Remind me who actually let it inside in the first place?"

Ben nodded. "Well, it looked sick, what was I suppose to have done?" He saw the cold eyes of the otter and the hare nodded his head. "I know, I know." He sighed softly. "But think about it, he looks after our home, has done for years now. We haven't been robbed at all, have we?"

Joe shrugged and conceded. "Yeah but no one will come to the place now, they know all about it. That or it's ate everyone that was stupid enough to even try." Taking his glasses from his pocket the otter placed them back into place again. "Alright, let's go. You're right about this place though, it is crowded and hot, and I need some cool air."

Ben nodded and got up from the chair and smiled. "I meet you outside, I have to go and collect my coat, and you should've placed yours in the cloak room." He saw the otter make a face as he replied back. "Have you seen who was on duty, that dork of a fox? He gives the wrong coats to people and this cost me over a ton, so no way am I letting him touch it with his grubby black paws."

The otter heard the hare laugh as he began to make his way through the crowd with the hare. Feeling some give the otter a few sneaky bumps or a feel of his rear, the otter did nothing but smile back as he teased those who wished to take him but he had someone and that wasn't going to change.

Ben made his way through the crowd faster and vanished from view as Joe finally made it through the crowd and looked at the big tiger that was leaning against the wall. Turning his head to where Ben was talking to the fox in question, he made his way over to where the big tiger was. "Hey, Phil. Busy night I take it?"

Phil nodded his head. "Tell me about it. Someone's birthday I think. So what are you two up to? You did know it was a private function tonight?"

Joe nodded his head back. "Yeah, your mate let us in. You okay with that?" The otter moved over to lean against the wall to look towards Ben as he turned his head to the side and saw the other tiger keeping others out at the entrance to the club.

Phil turned to look at the other tiger and nodded. "Oh, Gary let you in? Oh that's okay then." Phil placed his big paw on the otters shoulder. "So when can we come around again for a visit?"

Adjusting his sunglasses, the otter thought for a moment and replied back. "Oh, when we get a few things out of the way, you know what I mean. Would Tuesday be okay, or will you on duty here that night?" The otter always felt small compared to Phil and Gary, who was the biggest muscle, bound tigers you could meet and no wonder they ended up on the door of the club. He knew that Phil's father owned the place and had made it into a gay night club but if anything his friends were far from small and weak as some furs taunt to the gay population of the town. The otter knew that they would be in hospital for even trying.

Phil smiled. "Tuesday's fine. We managed to get some new staff in. Should see them though? One huge crocodile and a large red squirrel. The squirrel isn't much but damn, he sure knows how to throw us around." Pausing, the tiger smiled as he saw Ben head towards them. "So, what do you want us to bring?"

Ben smiled as he heard the question, still putting on his coat as he looked at Joe, then back at Phil and grinned. "I see my husband is making plans for another dinner party?" Slipping up to the otter, the hare gave Joe a kiss and then moved to give the big tiger a friendly hug.

Phil purred as he hugged his friend and replied back. "Yeah, he said that Tuesday would be fine. We were just going to discuss on what me and Gary were going to bring?" Giving a slight wink, Phil continued. "I suppose we could bring our homemade chocolate gateau." Phil blinked and then laughed as he saw the two smaller forms drool and nodded his head. "Okay, so we bring dessert. So what would you two be making?"

Joe churred. "Steamed trout with salad with dressing, then a big meatloaf with roast potatoes, gravy and those Yorkshire puddings you like. Only fair, that and we may as well enjoy ourselves." Pushing himself off the wall, the otter gave a stretch. "Anyways, we have to go and do you know what." He looked to where Gary was having a talk with a wolf and the otter smiled as he saw the large wolf back down submissively. Turning his head back to Phil. "Tell you're father he's teasing his locals by keeping them out for a night. There isn't a lock down again is there?"

Phil shook his head and then got up from the wall himself. "No, its back to normal tomorrow night, you will be coming along?"

Ben shook his head. "Not tomorrow, but we be around on Monday though." Taking Joe by the paw, he smiled. "Well, we better get going. We leave you to get back to Gary and help him out."

Phil laughed as he moved with the two towards the exit. "Oh don't worry, they know not to push us too much, we can ban them if they do." Reaching Gary, Phil looked at a squirrel and growled at the crowd. "How many times do we need to tell you, the club is closed for a private function tonight? Go home, it be open as normal tomorrow and to make it up to you, we open two hours earlier. How does that sound?"

Joe and Ben left the club and the task that the two tigers were having with the locals, the hare shaking his head. "You'd think they owned the club and not their family. I tell you, I am glad I have left the scene."

The otter smiled as he pulled the hare closer to him, while they crossed over a damp road. "We haven't left it fully though but yeah, you're right. It's so good to get to know the right people." He blinked and felt his rear get smacked by the hare. "Alright, we aren't just friends with them for that. Remind me how we got to know them again?"

Ben smiled. "They caught us making off in the gents. What was the thing that they said about it at the time?" The hare rubbed a paw under his chin and then laughed. "Oh yeah, they admired the balls we had after they warned about no sex in the bathroom a few nights back. One thing led after another and well we kind of became friends."

The otter sighed happily as they came to a crossing and looked about a bit before starting over a main road now. "Well, things turned out alright in the end. Well, apart from, speaking of which." He stopped on the other side of the road. "We best go search the alleys and the park on the way back and see what we can find."

Ben sighed softly. "Oh stop being a meanie. Okay, so it's not exactly a good thing but he's okay and I think he's warming up to us now." He heard the otter mutter and the hare dug his elbow into the side of his lover. "Hey, it's not because we feed him. Come on, admit it. It's not all that bad."

Looking up to face the moon, the otter nodded his head very slightly. "Okay, I admit it." He saw it vanish behind a sign briefly displaying some chemist name and came back into view again. "Just gives me the creeps sometimes, especially when he threatens to kill one of us if we don't find anything."

Ben nodded. "Oh, he's just giving us motivation dear. I mean, he knows that one of us would kill him if that happened. I wouldn't worry about it; let's keep our thoughts on the bright side of things, shall we? Besides..." The hare leant and whispered into the otter's ear before ducking a swipe of a paw with Joe grinning. "Keep talking like that and I take you here and now."

Ben pulled away from Joe and winked. "Yeah, yeah. Just keep talking like that dear." He stopped and looked down a dark alleyway and pulled the otter towards him, before whispering into his ear. Joe blinked and looked down the alley and muttered quietly. "You sure?" He saw the head nod twice and turned to face the hare, speaking quietly. "Right, take that small bottle of scotch out of your pocket." He took the bottle from the hare's paw and continued to speak quietly. "Thanks now head home and get things ready. I will be along in a bit." Speaking in a loud voice now. "Well, I see you later in the week, and then maybe we see who has who, hmm. Good clubbing though." He gave the hare a hug and watched him go off while Ben called back. "Yeah, thanks. I see you around."

Joe turned to look into the alley again and shrugged his shoulders slightly. Fixing his belt, he slowly began to move into the dark alleyway slowly. Allowing for his eyesight to adjust to the darkness, he gave a slight shiver as cold wind blew right past him and looked to where a large box was leaning up against the wall, a male rat was huddled up. Stopping the otter knelt down and looked at the rat for a moment as he slowly lifted up his black sunglasses up until they were resting on his forehead. Reaching forward, he gently shook the rat awake.

Watching as the rat slowly woke up, he saw him cough and splutter before calling out. "Fuck off, this is my place. Find some other place you bastard." A pink fist came out from nowhere but Joe bent backwards and saw it swing past his nose. Churring softly he spoke. "Hey, I don't want your place, man. I thought you may need this to help you keep warm." The otter held out the small bottle of scotch and smiled. "Go on, take it."

Joe didn't have to ask again as he felt the bottle being snatched from his paw as the rat worked the top off and began to guzzle down the liquid, some of it falling down onto his dirt covered top. Eventually he saw the rat gasp as he wiped the wet liquid from his chin.

"Who are you?" The rat spoke, looking at the otter for a moment, and then he spoke again. "And why are you doing this?"

Joe got up and leant against the wall and replied back. "Me, a friend? Yes I suppose so. I noticed you before huddling up here for the night and I know how cold it can be, so I thought I help out. I don't have that much to offer but if you want I can give you some food and new clothes if you so wish and a warm place to sleep for tonight. You never have to be cold tonight, so what do you say?" Joe offered a paw to the rat and smiled. "So what's your name, friend?"

Taking the paw, the rat was pulled up onto his feet and replied back. "Billy, I think my names Billy, but call me Bill." Billy smiled as he looked around a bit, and then turned to look at Joe questionably. "You sure nothing is wrong?"

Joe held his paws up and smiled softly. "No, if you want I will leave you and go find another instead. You're the first one I came across tonight. But if you don't want a warm meal." Joe turned around and walked down the alley towards the street, calling back. "That's your call. Enjoy your box; I am sure someone would enjoy having soft sheets to sleep in tonight at least."

Joe smiled as he heard the rat run up to him but made it go when he saw the rat walking beside him now as they made their way down the street. Billy smiled and placed a paw on the otter's shoulder and patted it. "Nah, sorry if I meant offence, mate. Just so rare to find someone who is willing to help a poor beast in need?" The rat turned away and sneezed. "So how far is your home then?"

The otter replied back quietly and calmly. "Not far now, we only have to go down this road here to where my car is and then it won't be long to get there." They both turned around to the right as they both continued to walk down the quiet road, walking past the cars. The otter looked around and saw most of the lights in the houses were off, with just one or two on but the curtains were closed.

Upon reaching the end of the street, the otter saw the jeep and that the back was empty. Nodding to himself, he took out a pair of keys and pressed a button, making the vehicle beep as all lights flashed twice. Nodding to the rat, the otter moved to the driver's side and got in. Turning to face Billy as he climbed into the jeep, both closed the doors as the otter switched on the engine. Flicking a switch, he heard the fans switch on as heat began to fill up the car. Billy had his hands practically pressed up against the grill.

"That's if you don't mind me asking." Joe said as he looked into the mirror and slowly began to pull the jeep out, until he pulled away down the road. "You don't look like you've been homeless for that long?"

Billy nodded. "I haven't, but I lost some weight but would you believe I used to be really fat." He pulled up his shirt for show some flab and smiled. "I see you still got a beer belly as well?" The rat patted it three times and pulled his shirt down.

Joe nodded and came to a stop at the lights and pulled his seat belt on and looked at Billy who nodded and did the same. Looking outwards to the red lights in front, the otter watched some mist come out of his nose before breaking the silence. "So what happened?"

Billy looked out of the window and wiped it free of frost with his pink hand. "Where do you want me to start?" He sighed and shook his head. "I was fired from my job about a year ago. My wife was having an affair you see and I found out. So I went and gave the boss a right smack in the face and kicked him in the balls. Needless to say they didn't charge me as no charges were brought forward." He looked back and down to his bare foot paws and shook his head. "No, they just decided to take all that I had, the joint account was cleared, and then rumours were made and found myself with no friends whatsoever. Then the break-up came and she had better lawyers with the money and I ended up losing the house and everything. That happened about six weeks back. I've been living in cardboard boxes since then. Now I met you, first good luck I had in ages."

Joe nodded but looked away from Billy as he replied softly. "I see, sorry to hear that." Most of the talk didn't happen as the car slowly edged towards the docks and the otter smiled softly as he pulled up to a large building. "Here we are. Oh don't worry. This is a home alright but I had to fix it up a lot to make this warehouse into a home of sorts." Switching off the engine, he unclipped the belt and climbed out. Looking back in again, he smiled. "Well, you going to stay out here in the cold or are you coming in? It gets really chilly being out here near the water."

Billy climbed out from his seat and closed the door behind him. Following the otter up the flight of steps, he looked around at the quiet dock area and shivered when a freezing gust of wind came from nowhere and ran up the stairs and into the open door that Joe was holding open. Looking around, the otter smiled and then closed the door behind him, before locking it with the key. "Security reasons, you know. Don't know who's about this part of town." Holding his car keychain, he pressed it and the car hooted twice before going silent. Joe nodded his head slowly. "If you follow me, you can get a warm shower and something to eat."

Billy followed the otter as he turned on lights and pointed to a door. "You find the bathroom there. Things should be ready for you; I always make sure that stuff is prepared before I come back. By the time you get out of the shower, I should have some hot broth for you to eat. Will warm bread be okay with that?"

Drooling slightly, the rat nodded and made his way towards the door as the otter called out. "Oh, leave your clothes in the bin. I find you some new ones for you, should have some warm clothes for you as well." Letting the rat go into the room and closing the door behind him, the otter smiled and turned around heading through the other door and closing it behind him to where Ben was standing.

The hare was leaning against the sink as he watched the otter pad over to the stove and looked into the pot as he held up the lid with a tea towel. "So, what did you find him?"

Sniffing the broth, Joe placed the lid back down with a small clatter and turned to face the hare with a smile. "He's a middle aged rat, quiet a lucky find as well, not been in the open that long, still plump. It should keep him happy for two or more weeks." Moving up towards where the hare was standing, he slowly wrapped his webbed paws about the hare. "So how is he down there?"

Ben shrugged. "Oh Amadeus? Hungry, annoyed. Hissing a lot, swearing a lot probably but who can tell? Don't really know. Didn't want to hang about and see if he was looking at me to talk in my head or zone me out and have me instead." Wrapping his arms about the otter, the hare slowly kissed Joe on the lips. "Well, I wait in the bedroom until you come for me. I thought I let you let Amadeus know about what you brought him."

Joe slapped Ben on the rear as he made his way to the door, opened it slightly and looked outside then went through quickly, leaving the door open as he made his way to one door and slipped through quietly, closing it. Joe padded over to where the bathroom was and knocked on it gently. "You okay in there?" He called out to Billy.

"Yeah, should be a while yet. Didn't know I collected so much dirt. Thanks again though, you're a saint." Billy's voice came through past the sound of running water. Joe nodded his head and then moved to the door that Ben went through and entered the hallway. Taking the key from the wall, he made his way to the end and slowly unlocked the door. Switching the switch down beside him, the otter opened the door slowly and stepped inside.

Feeling a shiver run up his spine, Joe slowly closed the door behind him and looked down from the railing to the room below him. Keeping hold of the railing, his webbed paw gripping it tightly, he made his way down the stairs slowly. "Amadeus. It's me, Joe. Where are you?"

Looking around carefully, the otter slowly took three steps away from the stairs and then stood still, looking around he saw where the thick concrete blocks were holding up his living quarters and then he saw the movement in the shadows. Sighing slightly he watched as the huge snake slowly slithered towards him. Taking a step back towards the staircase, he reached out for the banister and fumbled slightly until his webbed paw wrapped around the metal and he churred softly. "I have news for you, my friend."

Watching as Amadeus slowly stopped and lifted his large head up to the same level as Joes, a thick black forked tongue slithered out and back in as it hissed at the otter. Joe could hear something in his head as the words came clearly to him, not being able to take his eyes from looking at the snakes. "And what newsssss do you have, otter...."

Joe gulped and felt that he couldn't move at all, he knew that the friendship was a very dangerous one. Just one slip on a very thin piece of wire and he would be the meal. Forcing his muzzle to speak, Joe explained. "We found a rat in an alley. He is cleaning himself right now. Don't worry; he's a lucky find friend. H-he's still got some fat from not being homeless for that long. After I have fed him, I will lead him to the fake bedroom and he will come down the slide. I-I hope I have pleased you."

Amadeus nodded his head slowly. "Yessssss, you have pleased me, now go. We do not want to make our prey begin to wonder if something is wrong. Go tend to him, I will be waiting...." Turning his head around, the large snake began to slither off back into the shadows. Joe had already started to go up the stairs, three at a time and went through the door quickly, shutting it behind him and locking the door. He did not turn the lights off but made his way back to the main living area.

Seeing Billy sitting there with a towel around his waist, Joe smiled as he padded back in. "Sorry about that, I was just making sure your room was ready. I get you your food now." The otter slowly moved back into the kitchen, watching as the rat made himself comfortable at the table and nodded his head. Pulling a plate out from the cupboard, he slowly moved over to the pot, lifted the lid up with the tea towel and placed it down on the spare unlit burners. With a large metal ladle, the otter filled the bowl up with the broth and slowly padded back into the room and placed it down in front of Billy.

Watching Billy begin to attack the broth, the otter smiled. "Do you want bread with that?" He saw the rat shake his head and point to the side of his muzzle. "No thanks, I have a bad tooth after eating stale bread that was too hard once. This will do fine; I can just drink it down."

Nodding his head, Joe moved to the sofa and sat down. "So, what are you going to do after staying here for the night? Surely you have family." He paused. "I know you don't have friends now but surely you have

Billy replied in between mouthfuls as some of the broth dripped from his clean chin. "No family left. They died a while ago my parents; I was the only son that they had." Picking up a napkin, the rat blew his nose into it and dropped it back onto the table again as he continued to slurp down the broth.

Joe watched silently until the rat had finished his bowl and pushed it away with a scraping sound. Picking up the napkin again, he began to wipe his face quickly and got up. "Whoa, thanks for that. Best meal I had in months." Yawning slightly, the rat stretched and rubbed his eyes. "Feeling a bit tired, wouldn't mind going to bed you know."

Getting up, the otter walked towards where Billy was and took him by the paw. Smiling softly he moved his head to where the rat was and looked into the eyes with a nod. "Okay, follow me." Joe said softly and with a paw, he tugged the towel from around the rat's waist, allowing it to fall to the floor.

Billy just blinked as he was led to the sofa, muttering to himself. "Yeah, sleep once I get to a pillow and nice soft sheets." Joe slowly made the rat sit down on the sofa and then carefully he moved him sideways as he placed the rat's feet onto the sofa and laid him down. Moving his head to the rat, he churred softly. "That's right. Go to sleep, my friend. If for a little while at least but only until we have finish with what we have to do." Getting up, he looked at the rat and smiled for a moment, then headed to the door. Opening it he looked around and called out. "Ben, come on, let's get this over with shall we? We have to get him prepared."

Moving back into the room, Joe padded back to the sofa and slowly took his jacket off. Letting it drop to the floor, he turned his head as the hare came in, fully naked. "Hmmm, he looks better without all the dirt, doesn't he?" Ben went right up to the otter and smiled. "Since I am ready, let me start while you get undressed okay?"

Joe nodded his head as he started to pull off his t-shirt, watching the hare slowly move his paw to where the rat's crotch was and without waiting, pulled the white furred sheath all the way back to expose the limp pink cock from within. Wrapping his fingers around the length, the hare began to gently stroke the member, watching it come to life within his paw.

Moving to one of the chairs around the table, the otter began to unbuckle his belt, then began to talk. "So, who did you meet in the club, anyone interesting?" Slowly pulling the pants down as the otter shifted his hips side to side to work his way out of the tight leather. His tail moved the opposite way as he worked his way loose.

Ben smiled as he watched the rat cock in his paw throb a bit and replied back to the otter. "Oh, there was a really cute black furred rabbit there. I tell you, if I hadn't met you first, I would've so let myself be his." He grinned at Joe before blowing the otter a kiss as he saw the leather pants begin to make their way down. "But I have what I want anyways." Moving sideways slightly and nodding to himself. "Cute butt still, just the way I remembered seeing it for the first time."

Sitting back down on the chair, the otter grinned back. "Well, at least you were nice enough to ask me to grope it beforehand. Not like everyone else, set you above the rest and that counts in my book, dear." Looking down, the otter pulled the pants off each leg in turn and began to carefully fold them up on his lap.

The rat moaned slightly but stayed in his slumber, just his cock was alive as it leaked pre onto his clean belly fur, the smell of rat aroma beginning to fill the room. Joe looked at Ben and shook his head. "I hope you're not enjoying yourself too much there."

Ben stuck out his tongue. "Like I am enjoying myself here? Or like I want to paw off this stranger just to get some flavour for that perverted snake? Bad enough we have to go down and play with him sometime." The hare paused in all motion and looked at the otter. "You know, we could find him a friend of his own kind to stay for a few days and let them have fun?"

Joe shook his head. "Are you nuts?! It's bad enough trying to keep one fed, never mind getting another one. Nope, I won't allow it. Anyways, continue to paw him off. I am going to go get that big metal bathtub. Be right back." Turning around, the otter wriggled his rear in Ben's direction and churred, walking in a provocative way.

Ben muttered under his breath as he resumed his paw slipping up and down the wet rat cock while looking at the otter move out of view and then at the rat. "You know, I am so going to fuck him all day for that one. I make him unable to walk like that for a week." The hare gave a wicked grin as he began to pull on the rat cock harder and faster until he saw what he wanted and that was thick white ropes of seed pumping out all over the rat's belly and chest.

Letting go of the pulsating member, the hare began to slowly rub the white goo into the fur, picking some of it up in his fingers as he moved to rub some of it into the rat's bare skin feet, making sure that the skin was covered with the stuff enough to make it really wet and sloppy to the touch. Carefully doing both, the hare moved to getting the hands done next as he watched Joe come back into the room as he slipped his paw around the rat's cock again and began to tug at it fast again. "Trying to see how many times he will come before going dry. See if we don't have to use our own this time around."

Joe moved past with the bathtub as he skilfully opened the door with his foot. "Good ideas, if not then we don't have any choice in the matter." Not saying anything else, the otter slipped out of view as he made his way down the hallway leaving Ben to continue with his task.

Watching the rat shudder again as another thick load of semen splattered into a big pool on the rat, the hare didn't stop rubbing at the member and managed to get another three loads before nothing else came out. Satisfied with the results and feeling the presence of Joe standing behind him. Looking back, the hare frowned. "You could help than just standing there watching. I do want to go to bed, you know."

Patting the hare's head, Joe knelt down beside Ben and nodded. "I was going to, dear." He churred softly and began to work on the tail as he scooped some of the rat semen into his webbed paw and began to work on the tail, making sure it was all covered as he worked his way from the thick base slowly on his way to the tip.

Ben smiled as he began to rub more of the rat semen into the fleshy ears and head fur, feeling his own cock slipping out of his sheath, the hare moaned softly and turned to nuzzle the otter's cheek fur. Seeing the otter turn his head to the side, both of them kissed gently while their paws continued their work.

Eventually, all of the semen was gone from the belly, leaving only a wet reminder that there was a large pool of the stuff there. Joe rubbed the last bit of it onto the end of the rat's tail and looked at him now and again while muttering to himself. "He should wake soon, we best hurry up, love." He saw Ben nod and they both got up. Joe grabbing the ankles of the rat, while the hare moved and placed his paws underneath the armpits as both grunted as they lifted him up. Ben growled. "Heavy one this time, ah well. Rest for two weeks, be a change not having to do this again next week."

Joe nodded his head as both moved slowly through the door, the smell of the rat was strong as they could smell the overpowering aroma of the semen filling the air. "You know." Joe said quietly. "He does actually smell nice, kind of turning me on here." Reaching the end of the hallway where there was a door, they moved in to where a bathtub was lying in the centre of the room as both placed the rat down into it. Both wiped their brows before taking each other by the paw and feeling the remains of the rat's semen squelch as they did so. Joe churred. "Right, let's get this over with shall we. Get the wakening salts while I open the trap door and get the ball gag."

Ben moved over to where a shelf was and picked up a small glass container that had some dark coloured liquid that moved about slightly. Looking to where Joe was bending down, the large trap door slowly opened to show a slide underneath. Moving to another shelf, the otter slowly picks up the ball gag and smiles as he moves to where the rat is lying in the tub and slowly opens his mouth at the same time he slowly knelt down behind him. Placing the gag into the rat's mouth, he slowly lifted up the head, bringing up his knee so that it could rest on it and carefully began to tie the strap at the back. Using the small metal padlock, the otter snapped it into place and nodded his head. "Okay, love. Time to use the wakening salts. But I want him halfway down the slide before he wakes up."

Ben nodded as he knelt down and carefully opening up the bottle, he placed it under the rat's nose which began to open and close before a slight muffled moan came from within the rat. Placing the bottle down onto the floor, he got up and began to help lift the rat up from the tub and slowly placed him feet first on the slide. Joe knelt down to the semi-conscious rat and churred softly. "Don't worry, Billy. Soon you won't have a care in the world. There will be no more pain, I promise you." Moving his head towards Billy, the otter gave the rat a small kiss on the forehead and then pushed the rat down the slide. Looking at Ben, he closed the trapdoor and bolted it shut. "Coming to bed, love? I am beat."

Ben smiled as he helped Joe up from the floor and nuzzled him gently. "I thought you never say that tonight." As they both moved towards the door, the hare placed his paw on the otter's rear and gave it a gentle squeeze. Looking back slightly as Ben held onto the door handle, he smiled and closed it behind him.

***

Still half asleep, Billy felt himself falling down something, but it was too dark for his eyes to get any adjustment on the matter at hand. Moving his paws about, he could feel something rush past his fingers. Suddenly he couldn't feel anything underneath him but the rush of air going past his whole body which brought about a loud thud. Waking up suddenly to the extreme pain of landing heavily on the hard concrete floor, he muffled out a cry and sat up. Sniffing his paw, he could smell his own semen on his hand and blinked, feeling the ball gag in his mouth, already some dribble was hanging from the corner as he tried to swallow but found that he couldn't.

Blinking, his eyes slowly came back into focus but he still felt pain in his lower back. Ignoring it for the moment, Billy moved his paw back to feel around the straps that were about his head and then feeling the cold metal of a padlock, he started to cry. Taking a step, he felt the sharp pain rise up to his head and placed his both paws to as near to his lower back as possible and began to rub, mumbling around the ball gag as best as he could.

Slowly the feeling of dizziness and the blurred vision began to clear up. Moving to one of the concrete posts, the rat placed his paw against it and took some deep breaths, chest moving in and out slowly as Billy tried to slow down his beating heart as his mind tried to reassure him that things would be okay. Slinking around the large post, the rat stopped and leant against the cold concrete block and just closed his eyes for a moment. Opening them again his vision had returned fully as he looked around the dimly lit area, seeing just more concrete blocks in various places and a cold draft coming from somewhere. Looking down, he blinks as he saw the thin layer of dust on the floor.

Lifting his foot up, he could see a thin layer had stuck to the palms of his feet. Shaking his head, Billy began to move about again, his head moving around to taking in where he was. Looking up, he could hear someone moving about up above. Frowning, he shook a fist at the ceiling, the stopped in mid motion. Feeling his right ear flicker and an old sensation of fear running up his spine made the rat stopped dead. Blinking a few times, he lowered his paw slowly and began to look about the dimly lit area.

Billy saw that the lighting only lit small circles in a pale light as most of the area in between was in complete darkness. Moving slowly towards where the light couldn't reach anymore, the rat looked into the darkness to where the next circle of light was ahead of him a few metres away. Looking back again, he felt the same cold shiver run up his back as his ear caught something moving about very quietly.

All Billy could feel was his heart trying to jump out of his chest. Placing a hand on there, he took a step back but turned around quickly as he felt something but he saw nothing. Moving across the light again, he made for the centre and stood there, turning around now and again as he kept hearing a noise coming from one direction or another. Looking up only showed the light bulb with pipes moving alongside above it.

Looking back down again, Billy started to mess with the back of his head again, fingers exploring around the metal padlock. The rat could feel his drool slipping out from his wet lips as it fell down to the floor or onto his bare feet sticking out in front. Dropping his paws back to the side again, he blinked as something splattered on top of his head, warm and moist as it slowly trickled down the rat's forehead tickling as it moved in between Billy's eyes.

Blinking, the rat moved his paw up again as he touched the wet ooze that was slowly sliding down his nose ridge, moving to the side as it slipped over the upper lip and onto the red ball gag. Billy pulled his paw away, seeing the ooze stretch outwards from his head all the way to his pink palm. Flicking an ear, he heard something from above and slowly looked upwards as his eyes widened in horror to what he was looking at.

Staring down as the head hung there with its powerful coils was the largest snake, several coils were hanging from the pipes at various parts down the line but the rat was staring into the yellow slit eyes that never once blinked. With its mouth wide open, strings of clear liquid dripping from the ridged roof of the mouth as it dripped downwards onto the rat.

Billy tried to move but for some reason, he couldn't get his eyes away from those staring eyes. Just trying to move only made his arms twitch slightly at his sides as he felt more of the warm liquid drop all over him as he heard a deep hiss coming out from the pulsating throat from within the mouth.

Slowly lowering his head, Amadeus coils rolled silently as his head came closer to Billy's before he made the rat look back down normally as the snake came up to a stop at eye level with the rat. Closing his mouth with only a small hole left, a black forked tongue flicked out, moved up and down quickly as he hissed before slipping back in again. Slowly his remaining coils fell to the floor gradually behind him until the whole snake had reached the ground.

Billy saw the snake open his mouth again as he could feel some of the snakes saliva slip into his mouth, the foul taste resting on his tongue. Gagging slightly he felt his entire body shiver as he heard something in his head, the rat's eyes starting to water as he couldn't blink.

Amadeus hissed again as he slowly moved around. As he did so, he saw the rat slowly move with him as the snake continued to circle around him as his mouth opened again slightly to show the moist fleshy insides. Speaking to the rat in silence, Amadeus hissed softly. "Hello rat, ssssssso nice to make your acquaintance."

Billy couldn't reply back but Amadeus nodded his head slowly as he flicked his tongue out at the rat's nose again. Moving his head down, the snake looked at the rat's bulging belly that was sticking out slightly and moved his head back up. Billy blinked at the time but found that he was looking at the snakes eyes again as it flicked the tongue back out at him, saliva dripping from around the snakes mouth, which fell onto the floor. "I can feel your pain, your loninesssss." Amadeus opened his mouth wider as the rat looked down into the throat of the snake before it closed over again with a slight hiss. "Wouldn't you like to end being out in the cold, tortured by all that left you? I can send you to sssssssleep, yessssssss to sssssssleeep."

Billy swallowed as best as he could but most of his mouth had gone dry with fear. Slight trickle of blood ran down his chin from where he had bit down too hard until one of his lower incisors had cracked all the way down to where the gums were. Feeling one of the coils brush against his tail, didn't make the rat jump but he just stood there all the time, looking into those unblinking eyes.

Amadeus slowly and carefully began to move his coils around the rat, feeling the fur slip over his coils as one ring moved over on top of the other, less of the rat could be seen as coils loosely covered the outside. Bringing his tongue up to where one of the rat's ears was, it flicked against it, tasting the rat semen on the skin as the ear flicked about, making one of the eyes on the rat flicker instinctively.

Pulling away, Amadeus saw that the rat didn't pose any threat at all and looked into the eyes again as he hissed, but Billy could hear the words in his head.

"Come rat, come to me... Keep looking at my eyesssssss, alwaysss looking into my eyesssss and I will bring you peace... In which the darknesssss will envelope you, hugging you closssssse forever. We will become one together, forever alwayssssssss...."

Slowly the coils began to tighten gently at first as the snake hugged the rat within his coils, always looking at the ball gagged rat who stared back the snake could feel the fear held within his victim but continued to talk as his tongue flicked in and out. "Relax my friend, ssssssoon we will be together, ssssstronger. No one will ever hurt you again...."

Gradually, as the coils continued to bulge and moved around again, the rat gasped out as air was pushed out. Seeing the rat pull air back in again but it was a shallow breath. Amadeus could feel the rat's ribcage pressing against his coils as he continued to squeeze again, his strong muscles hugging the rat tighter and tighter with each flex of his coils. "Sssssseeee, you will feel no more cold feeling anymore. You will feel warm always, ssssafe in my embrace, yessssss?"

Billy felt his lungs expel more of the air but he couldn't take his eyes away from the head of the large snake. Slowly his fear began to wane away, the sound of the snake talking to him soothingly, sent the rat to sigh happily as he expelled his final breath. Feeling the coils wrapped around him continued to hug him tighter and tighter. The rat could feel the warmth as he finally laid his head down loosely with the last words inside his head from the snake being. "There my friend. Ssssssooon we will be one, you ssssshall ssssssee....."

Amadeus slowly opened his mouth, wet strands of saliva dripped from the top as he continued to widen his mouth. With a hiss, the snake slowly moved his head down as he felt the head of the rat slowly begin to press against his lips. Keeping hold within his tight grasp, the coils slithering around the whole rat as he squeezed more life out of the rodent, the snake slowly began to push the head into his gaping maw.

With saliva dripping from the snake, Billy felt the wet warm wrapped around his head as he felt his life slowly slipping away, a heavy weight began to fall on top of his head as sleep beckoned in his head. His whole body was hot from the tight embrace of the coils as he sniffed, smelling the warmth from inside the throat. Slowly he felt himself slipping down the black darkness, only the feeling of soft rubbing flesh gripping his entire body. Then he heard something that made the rat relax completely, gave in as he accepted his fate. With the sound of the snake's heart pumping mixed in with the other sounds coming in from the snake's body. Every second it was getting louder and clearer, which brought back a very old memory as his mind brought up a hazed image of his mother. For an instant, a tear formed on his eye but was wiped away by the wet flesh pulling him further down the slick throat.

Swallowing, Amadeus continued to slowly unravel one of his coils as he heard his jaw unlatch from itself as he began to wrap his lips around the shoulders, the snakes head slowly beginning to bulge around the huge frame of the rat, saliva dripping down over his own coils as his throat throbbed about, stretching more and more with each passing second.

Slowly the rat continued to move past the outstretched mouth, the coil around the belly slipped away, leaving the fat to wobble slightly side to side before it oozed its way into the mouth. Amadeus shuddered slightly as he felt the rat warm body, sliding down his throat, all the fur tickling as it slid over the slick flesh. Seeing the belly slip into his mouth, the snake could see the limp rat cock suddenly began to leak warm yellow liquid all over the snakes face.

With his protective skin over his eyes, the snake continued to swallow down the large rat into his pulsating throat, the yellow stream of rat piss flowed down the onto the floor, some small streams making their way along the coiled snake as slowly the leaking rat cock slipped past inside the snakes mouth. Letting go of the rat completely now, the coils flopped onto the floor as the rat's legs lay limp as the snake rose his head up higher, letting gravity help with letting the rat slowly slide down his throat. With a few large

Billy felt his head move into a wetter place while he was feeling himself feel heavier and heavier but his worries was getting lighter all the time. As the snake's acid began to slide past the ball gag, the rat felt his heart beat one last feeble beat before it stopped altogether. Amadeus meanwhile closed his mouth as he re-attached his jaws as the last part of the long rat tail slipped into his throat.

Lowering his head down, Amadeus flicked out his tongue once more as he let it lick at the wet patches a few times before slowly starting to move about, feeling the rat inside him, press against his body while the feeling of his stomach was getting full, a large stretched out section along his scaled body dragged. Turning around, he slowly began to move his body as the coils began to wrap itself around that stretched section, before resting his head on top of the pile. Hissing softly, the snake slicked out his tongue which throbbed as he smiled to himself. "Sssssssleep my friend. Sssssleep..." Slowly, Amadeus protective eye covering closed over the eyes that looked out into the darkness while Billy started on his journey to be one with the snake, forever. But Billy was lying peaceful in the warm, tight hug, even in death.
