#5 of A Favor or Fate (Jake and Ari)

Ari gets cold feet on his wedding day.


"You'll be fine. You've been together for two years, and the only fight I've heard you two have was over the plot of a superhero movie." Smoothing Ari's suit, Sarah busied herself with his tie, knotting it with surprising ease. Flicking Ari's forehead, she stepped back as he rubbed the stinging spot, one paw on her hip. "It's honestly a bit terrifying. It's like you were both created in a lab for each other."

"What if we're making a mistake, though? What if he gets tired of me? What if my obsessive cleaning annoys him? What if-" Stopped in the middle of a panic spiral, mid-babble by Sarah's hoof kicking his shin, Ari sagged, defeated. He knew she was right, there was nothing wrong with his relationship, and he knew that he'd be happy with Jake until he was old and grey. Still, it was hard not to have doubts. It was one of the first situations where he felt totally out of control, and it terrified him.

"Then you'll get divorced, hook up with some eighteen-year-old eye candy, and spend your inheritance backpacking through Europe, getting a blowjob in every country while I put Jake in the hospital for hurting you~." Sticking her tongue out, Sarah turned to the mirror, touching up her red lipstick and black eyeliner. It was strangely comforting to hear her say that. If she felt comfortable joking about it, it had to mean she thought it would never happen, right?

"Now you're going to get that striped ass out there, stand in front of us all, and read whatever you've written on those little post-it notes so I can make fun of how mushy you are until the day we die. If we hurry, I might be able to snag one of your boy toy's cousins at the reception. Might even start a collection." Wiggling her eyebrows, she took hold of Ari's arm, patting the backside of his paw and dragging him through the bathroom door.

Soft music and warm sun greeted Ari as he left the buzzing, dim light of the bathroom, taking his place at the end of the improvised aisle. It was a beautiful day, and he was so glad that he went with Jake's choice of venue. The church that Ari's mother tried to pressure him into would have been so stuffy, and the smell of grass, gentle breeze, and warm sun reminded him of days spent walking around with his wolf. There was nothing conventional about their relationship, so it was only fitting that their wedding was the same.

The music swelled, bringing Ari's attention back to the task at hand, and his eyes wandered over the crowd to Jake, standing at the orange lily-lined altar. He couldn't look away from how handsome Jake looked in a suit that matched his own. Tail wagging and face painted with a smile that melted Ari's heart, he waited, growing closer with every step. Why did Ari have cold feet? Looking at his husband-to-be, he realized that none of his worries mattered. He could drown every doubt in those blue eyes.

"Go, dumbass," Sarah whispered, slapping Ari on the ass as he reached the end of the aisle, too starstruck to step up and grab Jake's offered hand. The comforting weight of her arm disappeared, and she flashed him a thumbs-up as she rushed to her seat behind him.

Feeling his face flush, Ari shook his head to clear out the smitten fog, taking Jake's warm paw and stepping up to the altar. Beautiful blue eyes stared into his soul as Jake gave his paws a reassuring squeeze, mouthing the words, 'You look amazing.' It was silly, but those words meant the world to him.

Clearing his throat, the officiant, Rafael, spoke as the band ceased playing, replaced by the soft sounds of birds and the wind rustling through the trees. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today-" Making a face, the pink unicorn tossed aside the book in his paws, his gothic suit's red accents shining in the sun as he wiped his fingers across it. "Nah, fuck that shit. Ahem."

"We're all gathered here today to join these two, possibly the most sickeningly adorable couple I've ever met, in marriage." Placing a paw on each of their shoulders, he smiled surprisingly sincerely, despite his usual gruff demeanor. "When these two walked into my shop, I thought they were just another bunch of customers looking for something strange to spice up their relationship, but I've never been happier to be proven wrong. Over the past few years, I've had the privilege of getting to know both of them, and I can say with absolute confidence that they belong together."

Giving them each a squeeze, he continued, clearing his throat after his voice broke. "Now, before I steal the show or take a break to fix my eyeliner, Ari, Jake, you've written vows. Let's hear them."

Pulling a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket before Ari could reach for his own, Jake took a deep breath, his stoic attitude wavering as he started to speak. He barely had to look at his words, instead staring into Ari's eyes.

"For most of my life, I've thought that nothing mattered. I could skate through, putting in the bare minimum until the day I died. I was okay with that. Having fun seemed like its own reward. Now I know I was running away from commitment. I didn't want to settle down because opening up was scary. If I put in the effort and something didn't work out, I'd lose so much more." Squeezing Ari's paw, he wiped away tears at the corner of his eye, taking a shuddering breath. It took everything Ari had not to comfort him, his arms twitching with the desire to hug away his tears.

"I was wrong. I never knew I needed structure until I met you." Tail wagging harder, he looked away, but his paws never let Ari's. "Some might say being tamed is the worst thing, but they're wrong. Nothing makes me happier than knowing I'll have you by my side for the rest of my life and that you'll be there to bring order to my chaos. I love you."

Ari was speechless. Somehow, he didn't expect Jake to take writing his vows seriously, but his words rang with sincerity, and Ari could see that it took a lot of effort to say them. Dregs of doubt disappeared in the silence between them as Ari reached into his breast pocket, his paw shaking so much that the tiger could barely read his response. Why did he bother rehearsing?

"Before I met you, I thought I was too big to fit into someone's life." Tracing Jake's fingers with his, he took a deep breath to steady himself. "Whether it was my size, personality, or their expectations, there was always something that didn't match, something looming over me. I thought I'd never find someone to accept me as I am. I thought I'd never be happy."

"But somehow, you've made space for me. I've never felt like I wasn't enough or too much for you. You've helped me loosen up and let me explore parts of me that I thought were dangerous, taboo, or even silly. I can't imagine spending another second without you."

The last three words were the hardest to say, even though he said them constantly. That earnest expression, filled with love and shining brighter than the sun, melted him and took his breath away. "I love you."

"Fuck. I think I'll get cavities just listening to you two." Rafael chimed in, breaking through the silence after their vows. "I now pronounce you husband and husband." Grinning ear to ear, he used his grip on their shoulders to shove them together before they could lean in. "Now kiss."

Face to face with the love of his life, Ari met Jake's lips eagerly, his canine tongue dancing with the wolf's in a deep kiss. The world stopped around them, despite the applause, and all he knew was Jake's arms around him, the slow undulation of their tongues, and the sweet scent of Jake's cologne mingled with his natural musk. It was even better than Ari expected, like an outpouring of love that wouldn't stop.

The rest of the day flew by, with Ari meeting what he swore had to be hundreds of aunts, uncles, cousins, and even Jake's mother, a small red wolf who seemed to be the biggest hippy he'd ever met. (Her dress was tie-dye, and she tried to sell him a crystal. Thankfully Rafael jumped on that grenade and led her away, lecturing her on ACTUAL magic.) At the same time, Jake greeted Ari's more manageable family. Just his mom, dad, and grandmother, but somehow they managed to be more embarrassing than Jake's relatives, bringing up all sorts of stories of Ari's past as a scrawny kitten.

..................................................

Finally, after hours of drunken relatives, good food, and Sarah working her way through half of Jake's cousins, starting drunken arguments in her wake, the newlywed couple found themselves at home. There was one more thing to do before they could begin their honeymoon, though Ari felt like he would explode with the desire to consummate their love.

"So I take it you're not inviting me here to join in the honeymoon. Don't get me wrong, I'd gladly be the meat in THAT sandwich, but this seems more serious." Sitting back on the seat across from the couple he married, Rafael crossed his legs, his gothic jewelry jingling. He had changed from his suit into something less appropriate as soon as the wedding was over, all leather, buckles, and chains, with an exposed midriff showing off a spider-shaped piercing.

"No, no. Maybe later." Jake answered, leaning against Ari's side and still wearing the dopey grin he had after their first kiss as a married couple. "We just wanted to thank you. If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't be as close as we are. We owe you so much. We thought it would be rude not to get you a gift for helping us." Reaching down, he grabbed the box that Ari picked out earlier that morning, then carefully handed it to the unicorn.

"The person at the shop said that this is a rare plant that most herbalists would die to get their hands on. We thought it might help you create something new besides love potions." Squeezing Jake's thigh as he watched the unicorn unwrap the box and reveal the strange, dark purple flowers and thorny stems of the plant that Ari couldn't pronounce. Magnubera?

From the moment the plant left the box, Rafael started laughing. Setting it aside, he wiped his face, his makeup running from mirthful tears. "Well, uh, thank you. You're very kind, but you should know this plant's main use is-" Placing his paws on his chest, Rafael cackled. "Breast growth. Specifically gigantic tits. Honkers, bazoombas. You got me the main ingredient to give someone porn star tits."

Still cackling, the unicorn took the plant and left, leaving Ari to shake his head as the door slammed behind him. "That explains why he kept winking at us. I thought the shopkeeper was flirting with us." Leaning back and cradling Jake in the crook of his shoulder, Ari sighed as he let all the excitement and stress of the day melt away, leaving nothing but an easy warmth and lazy desire. "It's a little disappointing. I liked how jealous you were on the ride home."

"Not jealous. Just territorial." Arms enfolding Ari's waist, Jake nuzzled into his chest, rustling the uncomfortable suit. "You know, now I've gotten my way. You're all mine, forever." Placing his paw next to Ari's, he put their silver rings together, his tail thumping the upholstery.

"Territorial, huh?" Lacing his fingers through the wolf's, Ari squeezed him close, pressing a kiss to one fluffy cheek. "Well, you know. These suits weren't all that expensive. Maybe you could-" Guiding Jake's paw to his crotch, he growled playfully, grinding his bulge against squeezing fingers. "Mark your territory?"

"Hmm. I don't know." Playing coy, Jake squeezed and rolled the tiger's bulge around in his paw, then tiptoed his fingers along the growing tent he caused. "I've been standing up most of the day, so maybe I don't want to do much. Unless you want to rub my paws first? Though I don't know if you'll be able to peel my socks off. They're soaked~." Scooting backward, the wolf leaned against the couch's arm, bringing his shiny leather shoes into Ari's lap and stretching his legs.

"I fuckin' love you," Ari growled out, tossing aside Jake's shoes and drooling as he peeled away damp socks soaked with sweat. They'd long since come to an agreement that, though Jake didn't quite have the same love for feet that Ari did, as long as he got a foot paw massage, he didn't mind anything else that might happen.

"Hang on." Unbuttoning his pants, Jake pulled them off, tossing them to the side before returning his feet to Ari's greedy paws, leaving his heavy balls to sag between his legs. "Needed to let everything breathe." He grunted, tongue flopping out as he scratched his fuzzy balls, his jacket soon joining the pants on the floor, leaving him in nothing but a white silk shirt and a black tie.

Pressing his thumbs into the underside of a paw, Ari nuzzled his nose between spread toes, breathing in the scent of corn chips, sweat, and musk with all the care of a wine snob sampling a new vintage. His cock surged within his pants and threatened to break through the fabric until he freed it with impatient fingers, letting his tongue trail over the dark sole, tasting salty perfection. One of the advantages of losing his sandpapery feline tongue was that the tiger could roll his tongue over sensitive flesh without worrying about scraping it raw. Ari hadn't gotten the hang of controlling his drool, leaving a sheen of wetness in his appendage's wake, but the lazy stretch of toes and approving noise from Jake showed he didn't mind.

Slowly, he worshipped canine paws, licking every inch of bare flesh clean and nuzzling into the fur between his toes with greedy sniffs. Fingers worked away, massaging where his tongue wasn't, and before long, he felt the warmth of a heel against the underside of his cock. Tearing himself away from reverent licking, he growled, his hips pushing up as the foot paw's twin joined it, sandwiching his cock between heavenly heated pads.

"Such a greedy kitty," Jake growled, playing with his sheath and rolling his thumb over his peeking cock as he gently rolled his paws, his blunted claws digging into the pulsing cumvein. "You know, even if you cum on my paws, I'll still want more. Even though our trip isn't for a few days, tonight's the start of our honeymoon."

"D-Don't think that's going to be a problem. I haven't pawed off in days because of the stress of the wedding, and we've been too busy to fuck." Ari breathed, closing his eyes and thrusting wildly against patiently rubbing feet. Both his knots swelled, and his shaft flopped from side to side, leaving the soft embrace before he could correct its course, but it felt so good that he couldn't stop himself.

"I'll hold you to that." Paws leaving Ari's cock before he finished, Jake crooked his finger, spreading his legs and lifting his balls to show off that beautifully pink pucker. "Come here. I want you to paint me while you lick." Scooting downward, he offered that deliciously plump ass, his paws in the air at just the right height to cradle Ari's face. Barbed cock against his stomach, he stretched his cheeks open, his hole clenching needily.

More than happy to oblige, Ari gripped the wolf's legs, spreading them and flopping his cock against that welcoming hole. Slow grinding smeared his arousal over soft pink flesh and sandwiched his face between the offered paws, rubbing his cheeks against each one. He was so close, he couldn't stop himself if he wanted to, and his wild thrusts parted Jake's balls, smearing oozing pre over fuzzy balls. Eventually, strings of pearly cum joined the spiderwebs of pre, painting Jake's hole in a thick layer of sloppiness and shooting as far as his open, panting muzzle.

"Fuck, babe." Moaning and licking away the dripping strings with an approving smile, Jake milked the last few drops between his cheeks, rolling the tiger's tip against his hole. Lifting his ass, he took the still spasming shaft inside of him, free paw dragging the tiger down into a sloppy, cum-flavored kiss.

"G-Give me a second." Ari shuddered as liquid silk embraced his shaft, his balls churning and stomach twisting into pleasured knots. Their dry spell was the longest he'd experienced since he met Jake, and the sensations weren't fading, leaving him oversensitive. Tail thrashing from side to side behind him, he rested his chin on the wolf's shoulder, his knot kissing Jake's hole.

"Finished already? Should I get up and take over?" Teasing, Jake rested both paws on Ari's ass, fingers working their way toward the underside of his tail, then circling his entrance. Slick and coated in sticky seed, he slid his middle finger home, blunted claw seeking Ari's pleasure button. "Come on, big guy. I've been missing those knots of yours."

"Mmph. Deeper." Ari moaned, his tail wrapping around Jake's wrist to drag his hand closer. Each sloppy push of those fingers worked him up, distracting him from his cock's wordless pleas for mercy. Humping downward with slow thrusts, he nipped at Jake's shoulder, clamping down on his fingers as those swollen knots threatened the sloppy, cum-coated hole. "Three fingers." He begged, panting hard.

"Don't worry. I know what you want." Jake cooed, squishing two more fingers past Ari's hole to stretch him open. A low groan left his lips as his insistence drove Ari to a faster rhythm, forcing his legs further apart. "Fuck. It's bigger than I remember." Letting out a whimper, he relaxed just in time to slop the first knot inside, then tensed, adding his contribution to the mess and ruining their clothes even further.

"What was that about taking charge?" Ari purred, tugging at the tightened hole as Jake's body milked him desperately. "Or are you going to be a good puppy for me? There's still another knot to go." Pressuring that tightened muscle, he pushed, watching his cock progress through the wolf's stretched stomach in short thrusts. "Or should I work you so loose that it just slips right in?"

"Gods, yes. Ruin me." Slapping Ari's ass, Jake begged for it, fingers ramming into Ari's ass in a desperate attempt to keep his hips moving. Those pretty blue eyes stared up at Ari, then disappeared, replaced by approaching teeth and a desperate kiss. Biting Ari's lower lip, he drew him into a desperate kiss, tongue slopping out to meet the tiger's in a cascade of drool and whimpers.

"You asked for it." Pumping his hips in an increasingly primal rhythm, Ari popped his second knot past the wolf's barrier, filling him with every inch of his massive member until he looked as though he'd pop. Still, it wasn't enough. Tugging at their union, he swallowed the wolf's whimpered words, not giving up until he heard a wet slurp and felt a slight breeze across his freed member. Slamming right back in, he set up a brutal rhythm, balls slapping against the wolf's upturned ass and sliming his desperately wagging tail with a mixture of cum, pre, and sweat.

Jake's words failed him, replaced by panting desperation. Clenching each time Ari pushed into him, he wordlessly begged to be claimed, his hole swollen by the battering slurps of both knots. Clinging with all four limbs, he twitched and groaned, his cock still releasing thin dribbles of cum with each hard thrust against his sweet spot.

One final thrust emptied Ari's balls into the fucked-silly wolf, swelling his stomach with the sheer volume of several days' load. Collapsing into his welcoming embrace with a soft purr starting deep in his chest, Ari panted, kissing the wolf's exposed neck. "I swear, that will never get old. You're too damn sexy."

"You're just easy to rile up." Finally able to speak after a few moments of vacant staring and drooling, Jake trailed his claws over Ari's back, leaving a tingling trail in their wake. Sighing, he leaned back, pulling the tiger down onto him. "Think you can carry me to the bathroom? I have to pee, and all that cum's pressing on my bladder. Don't think our hardwood floors would appreciate the puddle."

"Doubt it, but I could pull out, or-" Thinking for a moment, Ari gingerly sat up, pulling Jake into his lap. "Maybe if you turn around?" Gritting his teeth, he helped the wolf twist, still buried to the root inside of him. The sensation of cum-slicked innards swirling around his cock was odd, but he didn't want to uncork the flood of cum on their new flooring. "Mmph."

"Is it weird that I find this hot?" Jake quipped as they hobbled toward the bathroom with Ari hunched over his back, still connected by their tie. Practically waddling with his full stomach and barely reaching the ground due to their height difference, he led the way to the shower, laughing when he caught a glimpse of their predicament in the bathroom mirror.

Bracing himself against the shower wall, Ari tugged himself free of the wolf's muscled butt, patting jiggling cheeks as the patter of cum hitting the tiled floor filled the air. "Everything's hot when I'm with you." He growled in the wolf's ear, sliding an arm around his waist and taking hold of the barbed canine cock in one paw. "So I believe it." Nuzzling his cock up beneath the wolf's thighs, Ari slowly ground the tip between Jake's balls.

"Mmm. You're making it hard to concentrate." Leaning back against the tiger's chest, Jake wiggled his ass, his cock bouncing and his cheeks clenching. "Let me just-" Showing off his flexibility, he turned, lifting a leg so that he faced the tiger and sat comfortably on Ari's shaft, held up by its hardness. Nipping playfully at a nipple, he stood on tiptoes, tapping his hardness against Ari's abs. "There we go. Much more comfortable."

Closing his eyes, Jake aimed his cock upward as a jet of golden liquid coated the tiger's fur, his teeth sinking into pecs with a playful growl. Slowly, he soaked every inch of feline muscles in dripping musk, tongue swirling over the pebbled, sensitive flesh and paws moving to shoulders to steady himself.

"Fuck. Such a kinky pup." Ari panted, tensing up as the soft prick of canine teeth teased his tingling, clenched chest. Warm piss bucked his hips and his nose seared with the overwhelming scent of Jake's claim while his paws took hold of cum-glazed cheeks, sawing his cock against the hole he gaped moments before. The soft sweep of the wolf's wagging tail teased his cock tip while his bladder begged for release, and he soon joined the wolf's sensual shower with his powerful jet, matting Jake's back with dark streaks.

"At least you didn't try to repeat our first time. I'm pretty sure I'd pop like a water balloon." Jake cooed, leaving his biting affection behind to meet Ari's lips, a shiver rolling through him as the dwindling stream painted his back. Throwing his arms around the tiger's midsection, he squeezed tight, red fur squishing against its striped counterpart through their soaked silk shirts.

"Maybe. I'm not so sure, though. Those first few nights after your transformation, we both looked nine months pregnant by the time we passed out." Trailing claws over Jake's bubble butt, Ari watched from over his shoulder as the wolf's tail helicoptered eagerly. "There's one thing I'd love to do differently than our first time, though. You were so focused on me. I barely got to return the favor."

"If I want to be a good husband, I can't take all the pleasure for myself, can I? It can't all be footjobs and wolf ass." Peeling himself away from the mess they made of each other, Ari took one last long kiss from Jake's unresisting maw, pushing him backward from his perch on the tiger's shaft and pressing him against the tiled shower wall.

"Go slow, though. My stomach's still all fluttery." Jake breathed as Ari made his way down his stomach, kissing over piss-scented fur until he met the heavy bounce of the wolf's hybrid cock. The wolf's tie split his pecs, wagging like his tail with every panted breath, and somehow his open shirt was more erotic than nudity. They'd have to toss the piss-soaked, ruined clothes after they finished, but Ari didn't care.

"No promises. You know it's hard to resist taking you to the base." Cradling Jake's cock in one paw and slowly trailing his nose over it, Ari took in the strong scent of piss mixed with the unique scent of his husband's musk, hungrily huffing the heady mixture. Slowly, he trailed his tongue over sagging orbs, then drew one into his mouth for a tender suck, circling it as it churned with another load in the making.

"Fuck. You've gotten good with that tongue." Dribbling a different sort of musk now, Jake clung to the wall, his legs shaking. Glistening strings pumped from his tip, showing no signs of slowing down and coating the tiger's head as he slurped and nursed on fuzzy balls. "Feels like you could lick my ass while I'm in your throat."

"Maybe I could, but it's much more fun to tease this," Ari growled, trailing his slippery tongue up along the barbed shaft, from the knot to the pointed tip, and pursing his lips to suck the trickle of arousal. Gently, he lowered his maw, grazing pulsing, prickly flesh with infinite care. Bobbing his head in a slow rhythm, he let his tongue glaze each inch of cock in drool until the pointed tip bumped against his throat, drawing a gentle gag before he could control himself.

"I always thought I was the one with the oral fixation." Rolling his fingers against the grumbling tiger's ears, Jake bucked his hips, testing Ari's gag reflex before beginning his journey to the base. Tongue flopping out of the side of his mouth and eyes half-lidded and dreamy, he whined his pleasure, ears sliding down and tail stilling, hiking above his back.

Gagged by the length of his wolf's cock, Ari couldn't tease him back, but he knew how to get back at him. Sliding his paws up to squeeze that bubbly butt, he gripped a cheek in one, his other swirling over that sensitive, dripping hole, then slid three fingers in, curling them to find his sweet spot. The resultant buck filled his throat with a splash of pre, wringing a wet gag from his mouth, but it was worth it to hear the overstimulated moan from the wolf's parted lips.

"Fuck, fine." Mashing Ari's lips against his sheath with increasingly rough thrusts, Jake growled, rising to the challenge. Slapping heavy balls against the tiger's chin, he sent splatters of mixed pre and saliva flying, painting the tiger's pecs with the slimy mixture until it soaked in, joining the drying piss already there. "Hope you're ready to drink because I'm gonna fuckin' knot."

Flashing the wolf a thumbs up and closing his eyes, his tongue lashing the underside of that plunging cock, Ari purred, swallowing everything Jake had to give. Working the wolf up was always his goal, and he loved when he took charge. His throat would be sore by morning, but it was so worth it to feel that pulsing shaft burying itself in him, egged on by rhythmic sucks.

"Fuck. Here it comes." Gripping the back of Ari's head and humping at breakneck speed, the wolf hunched over him, tail hiked over his back and still doing its best to wag despite the plunging fingers working the wolf's prostate. "I-" His knot slapped against Ari's lips, so bulky that once it slipped in, there was no turning back. "Fucking-" Balls slapped against Ari's chin, pulling up as the wolf's orgasm approached. "-Love youuuuu!" Popping past Ari's teeth and sealing himself into the tiger's purring maw, the wolf clamped down on those teasing fingers, exploding deep into the tiger's throat and filling his stomach, stretching his abs into a bulging swell.

Slowly stroking himself with the paw that wasn't buried in Jake's ass as he savored each pump of the wolf's essence, Ari lost himself in the bucking of that massive shaft. Purrs intensified as he breathed through his nose, sucking in greedy lungs full of the horny wolf, and he felt his shaft throb sympathetically, eager to join his husband's. His orgasm wasn't far off, painting Jake's paws and the tile below equally, drawing a moan from his stuffed throat that nearly choked him on the flow of seed.

"Goddamn." Sagging backward, Jake panted, legs like jelly and gaze dreamy and far away. "I think I just lost half my body weight in cum." Trailing claws over the tiger's head, he yawned, shivering as the contact intensified Ari's purr. "Once my knot goes down, let's take a shower. I feel like cuddling before bed."

Nodding as best he could, Ari basked in the heat of the wolf's groin, his nose ruffling drying pubic fur with each shallow breath. He wouldn't mind another round or two to celebrate their wedding, but he supposed he'd better save some energy for the honeymoon. As he dozed, he wondered whether there was a secluded beach where Jake could mount him. Sex, sun, and the relaxing sound of waves sounded like heaven after all the planning that went into his wedding.
