In the Fire's Wake

As soon as Haley had seen the resonance gem's emergency frequency activate, she had teleported herself directly to the site. It was dangerous, the technology for such a transportation was still in its infancy and used only after being mapped to a specific few individuals. But, this was him. This was Dust in danger. She had to be there, she had to try and help him.

Now though, as close as she could get to the gem's output signal without the heat scorching the fur off her face, Haley stood at the top of the volcano and watched in horror as the searing lava rose higher and higher, engulfing what few platforms remained within the rocky crater. Tears streamed down her face only to evaporate away in the heat, and she shook her head in horror as she considered the fact that Dust might be...

A hand swung up over the edge of the crater just metres away, and then another, tossing a faintly glowing sword up and over the lip before clasping tight at the rock. Haley shrieked, and ran over to clutch at Dust's paws. To drag him up over the edge, and into her arms. He was scorched. Patches of his fur darkened and others almost entirely burned away. Scratches covered his palms, his feet, his knees and basically anywhere on the front half of his torso where he'd scuffed himself while dragging his body up the rock-face of the volcano, but he was alive. Haley sobbed. She held him tightly, and as he held her in return, she could feel him shaking as he wept too. In sorrow, in fatigue, and in gratitude to her for being here right now. For being there for him when he needed someone, when he needed someone so badly to show him the light that existed in this world after having to face such darkness head on.

Together they crawled away from the volcano's lip, never once fully leaving one another's arms whether on their knees or on their feet with Haley supporting Dust step by weary step. They held one another and kept one another moving until blasted rock turned to scrubland, and then to increasingly lush, green forest in its wake. Finally they found themselves by a small stream, and after Dust had cast aside his sword and his robes, and doused his body in the cool water to wash away the ash; the choking black dust that had coated his fur, he collapsed into Haley's arms once again, and fell asleep with his head resting upon her modest, overall-clad breasts.

When Dust awoke again, it was dark. It was night, stars twinkling through the canopy of trees above and silvery moonlight shining down upon the stream. He took a deep breath, and trembled as he felt Haley shift against his bare, unclothed body. Just a few seconds later, as he peered into her beautiful face, her eyes fluttered open like she could somehow sense his gaze. She wasn't shocked though, wasn't surprised or embarrassed by his staring. She just smiled, and when he smiled back, she giggled gleefully.

"I love you, Dust."

She whispered, pressing her nose to his, then her lips against his own, before he could so much as draw a breath in response. The kiss lingered, and when she stopped actively smooching and pecking at the man in her arms, Haley giggled as she felt him pick up where she'd left off. It took less than a minute before he rolled over to lie astride her, and when Haley reached out a hand and cupped his face, causing him to draw back so he could look into her eyes, she beamed, and nodded to him though he hadn't spoken a single word aloud.

"Please."

She whispered, and nodded encouragingly.

"Please, Dust. Now."

Seconds later his hands were teasing off the shoulder straps of her overalls. He was crawling, shuffling down Haley's body and peeling the clothes off her as he went, until she, like himself, was utterly naked. By the time he fell upon her once again, he was hard. They wasted no time. No foreplay needed, the thrill of simply being alive and being together after everything that had happened more than enough to drive them to precisely where they needed to be. Haley cried out as Dust pressed into her. He moaned, and kissed her neck as she arched her back and wrapped both arms and legs around him.

The moonlight glittered, the stars shone, and the forest sang with their cries as Dust began to drive his body to its limits; reinvigorated not just by his slumber, but by Haley's presence. By her support, her love, even the simple act of her smile. He pressed into her over and over again, and the louder she cried out the more he was driven to grant her greater pleasure still, desperate to have it match or outstrip the pleasure he received from her body holding him, squeezing him, and of course exciting him with her beauty and the sounds of her bliss.

Haley screamed after barely five minutes, eyes bulging, toes curling. Dust grunted, gasped, spilled himself into her barely ten seconds later as her feverishly convulsing form coaxed him into offering forth his seed. But still, he didn't stop. The greater the joy he heard in her voice, the more wild and unhinged her delight, the greater his craving for yet more of it still. He pulled away from Haley once spent, as they panted and trembled in their adoration for one another, but crawled further down until it was his flushed face between her thighs. Her hands clawed at the ground, and she let loose an almighty shriek as he began to taste her. To feast upon her joy and fuel himself with the life-affirming passions born in every cry.

A fire burned within Dust as he listened to Haley shriek in climax a second time, but did not relent in his attempts to pleasure her. A fire burning brighter, hotter by the moment, far hotter than any blacksmith's forge or even the searing core of a volcano. He had seen the fires of war. The fires of hatred and pain. But now, here with Haley, Dust was finally able to let those fires burn down to mere cinders, while a new inferno blazed to life within him in their place.

The fires of vital passion, and of heartfelt love not just for Haley but for this entire world and all the goodness within it raged reborn within Dust's body. It seared through every fibre of his being, it scorched every last corner of his mind, and though Dust knew that there was a whole world out there with which to share his newfound zeal for living, he couldn't help but first and foremost want to share it with the woman who all along had shown him that such love and such passion existed for anyone who wished it to share.

"Dust!!"

His name rang out through the forest as after her fourth climax at the male's behest, Haley felt her lover scramble back astride her, and just when she thought he was going to cuddle up to her and suggest they drift back off to sleep, pressed his once more rock hard cock against her throbbing nether regions once again.

"Oh, y-yes! Yes!"

She shrieked in pleasure, in absolute joy as he pressed into her once again, and kissed her chest, her neck, her panting, gasping muzzle over and over as he let himself loose and began to thrust into Haley's depths with wild, adoring abandon. She could feel his desire, his love crashing through her with every touch; every kiss and every thrust, but while she knew that Dust didn't need words to share his love for her, Haley couldn't help but want the entire world to know as soon and as shamelessly as possible that Dust was still alive, and now that his long quest was over, he was finally able to follow his heart in whatever new directions it might lead.

"Yes, Dust! Ohhh yessss, I... again! I'm... oh, Dust! Cumming! I'm cumming _again! Yes! _"
