The morning after the stormy night, again. I thank you all for the responses and critiques. I've tried to implement them without destroying what I deem as 'my style' and i can only hope that you approve. Again I ask: Read and review. Help me help you, help me help you. Parts 3/4+ won't be out until after midmay cause of finals. I was even rushing to complete this before 'The Final Countdown' and there are bound to be misspellings and other inaccuracies, please bear with me._  \n\n\"That it was.\" He replied, stroking  \n  \nher cheek tenderly with his thumb.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"You were wonderful,\" she whispered  \n  \nas she snuggled back against him, enjoying the shared warmth.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Well, thank you. Beginner's luck I  \n  \nguess.\" He chuckled, soothing his tensions. She however, bolted up off him and  \n  \nfixed him with a penetrating stare.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Beginner's luck?\" She inquired and  \n  \nher eye ridges slanted in what seemed like worry.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh, huh. Uh, yeah...you were...\" he  \n  \ntrailed off, just hinting at what he was too embarrassed to vocalize.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Were your first?\" he just nodded,  \n  \nsmiling sheepishly a bit; almost thirty and still a virgin wasn't something  \n  \nthat he widely broadcast. But he wasn't anymore and that just seemed to make  \n  \nher more uneasy. She started to back away from him, off the bed and stammering  \n  \na stream of apologies. \"I'm so sorry--please forgive me, I had no idea.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Sorry? Idea? Wha-?\" Jason started,  \n  \ndumbstruck.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"If I had known, I would've never  \n  \nhad gone through--\" She put one foot on the floor and he grabbed her hand before  \n  \nshe could get away. She immediately looked sorrowfully away from him, he could  \n  \nactually _see tears_ threatening.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Mind explaining what's going on?\"  \n  \nHis voice more forceful than he meant, he tried to soften the next part. \"Did I  \n  \ndo something wrong?\" She just shook her head. \"Then what is so terrible that  \n  \nyou're going to pieces on me for?\" he tried to pull her\u0026nbsp; close against him and she resisted; so he  \n  \njust turned her head to him, eyebrows begging the question.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"If I had only known that you  \n  \nwere...untouched, I would've never forced you to bed with me.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Forced?\" He scoffed with laughter  \n  \nbefore he urged her to continue her explanation.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"We,\" She said, indicating her  \n  \nculture, \"believe that someone's first time should be extremely one of a kind;  \n  \nit's supposed to mean something for your entire life, special.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"And this wasn't?\" he asked, not  \n  \nmasking the hurt kicking him in the gut and flooding his voice.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"It was! It was,\" she reassured  \n  \nhim. \"It just...that it's a big decision, one that shouldn't be entered into  \n  \nlightly.\" She looked around somewhat frantically; probing for an answer.  \n  \nsomewhere in the room.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I didn't. Did you?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No, it's just that...you might not  \n  \nhave been able to effectively refuse.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"What? How?\" He raised one arm up  \n  \nin perplextion. He saw her gaze shift to the floor and a thought floated to the  \n  \nforefront of his mind--from his own mind, not An'karra's--the wine must be what  \n  \nshe was worrying about. \"The wine?\" he inquired, voicing his thoughts. She only  \n  \nmanaged a slight nod. He let out a loud sigh of amusement and shook his head.  \n  \n\"Shards, you think I was drunk!\" Smiling with relief, he stroked her hand. \"Or\n\n\u0026nbsp; at least too tilted to be in my right mind.\" he laughed and just shook his head  \n  \nsome more; she gazed hopefully at him. \"C'mon luv,\" He said, enjoying the taste  \n  \nof the word as it left his lips; he'd always wanted to use it. He gently  \n  \ngrabbed her hand with both of his. \"I wasn't drunk, or even the tiniest bit off  \n  \nmy game when I entered this bedroom with you.\" He turned her chin towards him  \n  \nand fixed her with a steady gaze, solemnly stating: \"Even if I had been, I'd be  \n  \nsober by now and I still feel no qualms about last night. I can only pray that  \n  \nyou feel the same way.\" She smiled tenderly at him, thankfully agreeing with  \n  \nhis logic, hugging him.  \n  \n\n\"Then what was troubling you so  \n  \nmuch just now?\" She asked as she pulled back to look him in the face. He looked  \n  \nat her, question unsung but received. \"You woke me up with your fretting.\" He  \n  \nsagged and looked down at the floor.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm sorry...I was trying not to do  \n  \nthat.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I was lying against you; in  \n  \ncontact with you, that would normally allow your emotions to flow directly to\n\n\u0026nbsp; me; and then...not to mention last night.\" She smiled before her concern  \n  \nresurfaced. \"Please, what's troubling you if not what happened last night?\" She  \n  \nput her hand on top of his that were holding hers.  \n  \n\n\"It's morning now,\" he sighed  \n  \nlooking down then back up at her. \"You'll be leaving today, and I'm probably  \n  \nnever going to see you again.\" A brief moment of silence, then he was  \n  \ncompletely surprised as he was shoved back onto the bed and An'karra jumped on  \n  \nhim, face within inches of his.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"You didn't think that you could get  \n  \nrid of me that easily? Did you?\" She was smiling. He looked at her, pure hope  \n  \non his face. \"I think I can swing some more time here before I go back. Lost a  \n  \nlot of my muscle tone, going to have to get a _lot_ of exercise to get back into shape.\" She said seductively as  \n  \nshe licked his nose.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Hi, I'm Jason and I'll be your  \n  \ntrainer during you're visit to Earth.\" They both giggled and she leaned down to  \n  \nnuzzle him. Her skin was so warm and smooth; he just closed his eyes, reveling  \n  \nin the feeling; leaning into her and inhaling her sweet scent.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Oh, yes. I need lots of exercise...\"  \n  \nShe whispered. \"And a trainer.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Well, I'll be your trainer and you  \n  \ncan 'train' me.\" He smirked.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"So, newbie,\" she said as she lined  \n  \nher gaze up with his and smiled, \"how was your first orgasm?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I said it was my first time with  \n  \nsomeone else; meaning _other than myself.\"_  \n  \nHe said, rolling his eyes. _\"_Doesn't  \n  \nmean I didn't get my own rocks off every now and then. How could I resist with  \n  \nall the naughty stuff I got in my head and on my computer?\" he laughed as he  \n  \nlooked back up at her and stroked her temples. \"But I'm ready for my second  \n  \ntime.\" He hinted as they leaned in for another kiss, only a hint of the passion  \n  \nfrom the previous night, but much more ardor.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"But first,\" she got up off him. \"I  \n  \nneed a shower, your dirty work is irritating my skin.\" She gestured to the  \n  \ncopious amounts of dried love on her abdomen through her tail. The hide was  \n  \nturning pink with irritation and she tried to scratch some off.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"_My_ dirty work? Excuse me, but I think you helped...a lot.\" He  \n  \nchuckled as she left towards the bathroom. He heard her turn on the water and\n\n\u0026nbsp; he just sat there, pondering his luck. She was staying for a little more. He  \n  \ndidn't know how much longer, but he was going to make it count; prove to both of  \n  \nthem that there was something more between them than great sex.  \n  \n\n\"Coming?\" she asked from across the  \n  \nliving room and gave him that 'come hither' look as she disappeared into the  \n  \nbathroom. He half leapt up as he went to join her in the shower. She was already  \n  \nimmersed when he stepped in behind her, closing the door to keep the splashing  \n  \ncontained. He was expecting a lot of that to come. She turned around to smile  \n  \nat him. There was plenty of room inside for the both of them; she could even  \n  \nhave her wings dropping with no clutter. She turned to face him as he latched  \n  \nthe door. God she looked so sexy; nude and with the hot, steaming water hitting  \n  \nher and flowing around every curve on its way down. He smiled and gazed at her,  \n  \nthen his jaw dropped.\n\n  \n  \n\nHe wasn't wearing his glasses. Yet  \n  \nhe could see her clearly, as sharp as the best cut diamond. He blinked rapidly  \n  \na couple of times to be sure.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What's wrong, luv?\" She asked,  \n  \nanxiety clouding her beautifully accented voice as she comfortably let loose  \n  \nthe same endearment he'd used moments before; Gods it sounded so much more  \n  \nbeautiful when she said it! His slack jawed gawking began to turn into a smile.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"My eyes! I'm not wearing my  \n  \nglasses, I should be looking through wax paper right now, but--\" She put a  \n  \nfinger to his blabbering lips to silence him. He'd had bad eyesight since  \n  \nkindergarten and even with all the medical advancements, myopia and other  \n  \ndisorders couldn't be repaired. Replacement eyes could be grown, but  \n  \nimplantation was still developing and had been largely unsuccessful.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I fixed them, healed them,\" She  \n  \nwhispered and smiled. \"A small token of my thanks...and affection.\" A stunned  \n  \nmoment, the he bolted forward and gave her bear hug, lifting her into the air  \n  \ntaking the breath right out of her.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh God, I don't know how to thank  \n  \nyou!\" He cried out jubilantly, quickly setting her gently down again as he  \n  \nrealized she was having difficulty breathing. He relaxed his grip into a firm,\n\n\u0026nbsp; but tender embrace, stroking the back of her neck.\u0026nbsp; \"I've been blind since I was five; it's been  \n  \nthe bane of my existence.\" He gently let her go and stared awestruck at her.  \n  \n\"But how? How did you do it?\"  \n  \n\n\"Magic...\" She said mysteriously,  \n  \nthrowing her arms over his shoulders. He huffed and hugged her, drawing her in  \n  \nclose.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Thank you,\" he whispered, tenderly  \n  \nstroking her wet hide. \"Thank you so much.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"You are most welcome.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I can never thank you enough.\" He  \n  \nwhispered.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"And you'll never have to.\" She  \n  \ngrabbed his chin and kissed him. \"I've obviously taken it for granted; seeing  \n  \nyou smile like that is more than I need.\" She pulled away from the embrace and  \n  \nlicked his nose as her hands found there way down his back. She kissed him as  \n  \nhis hands squeezed and massaged her rear; realizing how far she wanted to go.  \n  \nHe grabbed the soap and began to soap her up. He rubbed his hands all over her  \n  \nsmooth body, lathering every inch. Kneading her flesh, soapy breasts and all,  \n  \nhe kissed her as his hands made their way down her back to her tail base and\n\n\u0026nbsp; explored every curve and fold. She shuddered a bit and moaned as his hand  \n  \nbrushed her sensitive nether lips and tailhole, getting ready for what was  \n  \ncoming. She rinsed off, her hide shining in the flow from the showerhead and  \n  \ngiving Jason an image that aroused him to the point where you could've poked  \n  \nhim and he would've climaxed right there. She glowed like she was divine. The  \n  \nsun hit her wing membrane and dispersed, illuminating her. She stood there,  \n  \nstretching under the showerhead. Her muscles pulling taught under her skin and  \n  \nshowing off her marvelous curves. She gave her head a twist, flinging her hair  \n  \naround to her back. Putting on a dead sexy smile, she came towards him and they  \n  \nspent several minutes enthralled in kissing and being kissed by one another.  \n  \nShe started to run her hands through his hair as he attacked her neck with  \n  \nardor.  \n  \n\nShe eventually broke the bond and  \n  \npulled him towards the front of the shower. They continued kissing under the  \n  \nsteamy water, groping each other's flesh and playing host to one another's\n\n\u0026nbsp; tongue. He took the initiative and sank to his knees as she leaned back under  \n  \nthe shower head; spreading her legs to give him full access to her facilities.  \n  \nHis tongue lightly probed her folds; the shower splashing on them both,  \n  \ncoursing down An'karra's body and running over her stimulated slit. She moaned  \n  \nwith pleasure as she kneaded her breast under the hot water, enjoying Jason's  \n  \nhandiwork. He stuck his tongue in as far as it would go, wiggling it from side  \n  \nto side, starting from the bottom and heading up. He gave her clit a couple of  \n  \nlashings before he withdrew his tongue and slowly penetrated her with his  \n  \nfingers; one at first, then spreading her for two. Feeling adventurous, he kept  \n  \npumping his hand into her as he leaned lower and ran his tongue along the  \n  \noutside of her tailhole. Her moaning increased in intensity as he teased her  \n  \npuckered exit; circling it while not quite entering.  \n  \n\nWith little warning, he pushed his  \n  \ntongue in as far as it would go and she gave a gasp of surprised pleasure. He  \n  \nkept a steady rhythm with his hand in her slit while his tongue probed her\n\n\u0026nbsp; other orifice. It had a taste that was a bit acidic in nature and slightly put  \n  \nhim off at first; but he persevered when he saw the joy it gave An'karra and  \n  \neventually grew accustomed to it. He felt that his discomfort was a small price  \n  \nto pay for her joy. He moved back and forth, side to side, causing her to moan  \n  \nand throw her head from side to side as she whimpered under his teasing. He  \n  \nteased her for a good several minutes before he withdrew his tongue and began  \n  \nto attack her clit once more. He inserted his other middle finger into the spot  \n  \nvacated by his tongue; wanting to pleasure her, but not take her tightness  \n  \naway...yet. He proceeded to pump his hand in her ass in alternation with his  \n  \nother hand lodged in her pussy. He sped up all his actions and An'karra's  \n  \nresponses followed suit. Her moans became louder, her breaths shallower and  \n  \nfaster. She was quickly climbing to her peak.  \n  \n\n\"Oh, yes! Don't stop--Oh, Jason!\"  \n  \nShe cried. He kept his steady, lightning fast strikes going as she reached her  \n  \nsummit and toppled over it; roaring as she came. Her body gave a great lurch as\n\n\u0026nbsp; it spasmed and shook with ecstasy. \"Don't--yes--OH GODS!\" She roared as Jason  \n  \nkept stimulating her through her orgasm and drove her wildly through the  \n  \nclouds. Her muscles clenched hard on Jason's fingers and a tidal wave of her  \n  \nhot juices flew into his mouth and all over his face before dribbling down to  \n  \nthe floor with the flow of the water. He ignored the growing fatigue in his  \n  \narms and back and focused on drawing out her orgasm as long as possible. Her  \n  \nback arched high into the air, shoving her pussy hard against Jason's attack as  \n  \nshe cried in seemingly endless ecstasy.  \n  \n\nShe eventually began to wind down,  \n  \nher cries and bellows of euphoria began to subside and Jason withdrew. Her  \n  \nbreaths remained labored as she slowly sank to the floor in front of Jason,  \n  \neyes just steadily focused on him; too exhausted at the moment to say or show  \n  \nanything but a loving glance. He returned the warm expression and crawled under  \n  \nthe shower spray to her side.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Just,\" She panted between breaths,  \n  \n\"give me a minute, dear.\" She cuddled up against him in the corner as she\n\n\u0026nbsp; regained her composure, lightly fondling his flesh as he stroked her wing  \n  \njoints under the hot little waterfall. She could've fallen back asleep right  \n  \nthen and there--and probably did for a minute--pleasure sated, contentment  \n  \nflooding her senses. They enjoyed the indoor rain for several minutes before  \n  \nshe spoke again. \"You, say that I'm the first you've been with; yet, you  \n  \npleasure me like an expert in the field of females,\" she said, quirking an  \n  \neyebrow at them.  \n  \n\n\"Calling me a liar?\" He smirked.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No, not at all...just wondering. How  \n  \nam I so lucky to get a novice as good as you?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Well...\" She could see him blush and  \n  \navoid looking at her. \"I've seen a lot of 'movies' on the subject. I take what  \n  \nI've seen and just watch how you respond and act accordingly. I've always  \n  \nbelieved that the best sex results from each giving their partner the best time  \n  \npossible; and I swore to myself that I would practice that belief if I was ever  \n  \nlucky enough to meet that special someone,\" He drew her closer and they slowly  \n  \nkissed again. She broke the connection and nuzzled under his chin, releasing an\n\n\u0026nbsp; odd purring sound. Without moving her body, she arched her long, lovely neck  \n  \ndown to his crotch, opened her mouth and wrapped her tongue around his stiff  \n  \nmember. He stroked her head with his right arm, enjoying the sight just as much  \n  \nas the feeling. She suckled on it just long enough to get him primed before she  \n  \npulled off of it. Standing, she offered him a hand up before they took their  \n  \noriginal position and she readied herself to receive him. He paused a moment,  \n  \nfeasting on the sight before him.  \n  \n\nShe was leaned back against the  \n  \nwall, head under the shower and off to one side once more. She was suspended  \n  \ncompletely on her tail, her legs open wide and braced on the shower walls to  \n  \nkeep her balanced. Her lovely sunset colored hair was soaked and wrapped around  \n  \none side of her neck and her body was soaked and glistening in the morning sun  \n  \nfiltering in through the windows near the ceiling. Her head rolled down and she  \n  \ngave him that 'come hither' look again and waved him over with a finger.\n\n  \n  \n\nHe stepped forward and grabbed her\n\n\u0026nbsp; hips before slowly impaling her on his rod. He went in very slowly, not enough  \n  \nto tease but enough to draw a long sigh from both of them. He hilted himself  \n  \nand leaned forward to kiss her. Breaking the kiss, she nuzzled him  \n  \naffectionately once again, that odd purr escaping from her throat; urging him  \n  \nto continue. He pulled almost all the way out and stopped before pushing back  \n  \nin.  \n  \n\n\"Kara.\" He inquired, feeling bold  \n  \nenough to invoke the act of shortening her name.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Hmm?\" she  \n  \nlooked at him, eye ridges raised.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I was  \n  \nwondering, should I be wearing some sort of...protection?\" he asked, his tone  \n  \napologizing for breaking the mood. She wrapped her legs behind him and pulled  \n  \nhim back into and against her without resistance; pulling a soft moan from him.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Only if  \n  \nyou want to.\" She put her arms behind his neck. \"My people have had every  \n  \ndisease licked for the past millennia; and I know yours have been clean for the  \n  \npast twenty or so.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Well, what  \n  \nabout ...\" he left the question hanging.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"While  \n  \nphysically compatible, conception is impossible between us.\" He could've sworn\n\n\u0026nbsp; that he heard a twinge of sadness in her response, but did not push the issue.  \n  \nInstead, he ignored it and grinned.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"So, mind  \n  \nif I hump your brains out?\" She seductively smiled back.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Mmmhmmhmm,  \n  \nplease do.\" She pulled him into another kiss as he pulled back out and started  \n  \nup a rhythm. She put her legs back onto the handlebar and soap shelf of the  \n  \nshower, letting Jason hold her up as she massaged her breasts in front of him.  \n  \nShe angled her tail up and began to suck on the tip, mock pleasuring it; eyeing  \n  \nJason as she did. He leaned forward, not disturbing his rhythm, and took the  \n  \ntip into his mouth, gazing at her as her eyes became half lidded and her head  \n  \nrolled to the side from the pleasure she was getting pounded with. She took her  \n  \ntail from his mouth and her breaths started to come heavier as she neared her  \n  \nedge. She moaned and tried her best to smile deviously at him as her tailed  \n  \nwormed its way behind him and up his legs. She explored with it, tickling him  \n  \nbefore she found the way in and in one fluid motion, shoved it into his\n\n\u0026nbsp; puckered ring. Not fast enough for great pain, but enough to draw out the same  \n  \nstartled noise from the night before.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; This only  \n  \nslightly disturbed his pace and then An'karra began to fuck his ass as she was  \n  \ngetting in return. Jason sped up, brain confused by the pain and odd sensation  \n  \ncoming from his rear. He'd never really experimented with that part of him  \n  \nbefore, always thought that it'd be too painful. She had proven him wrong as  \n  \nwas moaning in pleasure as she tried to concentrate on keeping her tail in  \n  \nconcert with his thrusts. He began to thoroughly enjoy the feeling as  \n  \nAn'karra's lightly bumpy tail pistoned in and out of his virgin ring. The pain  \n  \nsubsided and he felt the pleasure being added onto that which he was receiving from  \n  \nhis shaft drilling deep into her depths. Her breath was coming in fast gasps  \n  \nnow, just like his. She was playing with her erect nipples, tweaking them as  \n  \nshe simultaneously commanded her tail to pleasure Jason. Jason was grunting and  \n  \nstraining, holding back with a great effort; waiting to send her over the edge\n\n\u0026nbsp; first.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Then they  \n  \nbroke. It was like dominos. An'karra started to climax and reached down with  \n  \nher hand and furiously rubbed her clit and ground it against Jason's cock  \n  \nrubbing her raw. The enormous euphoric spasm she endured made her entire body  \n  \ngo rigid and sent a shock through her tail that rammed itself up Jason, pushing  \n  \nhim up and forward into An'karra and over the edge into ecstasy. She cried out  \n  \nas she rubbed herself in bliss, reveling in the feeling of being filled with  \n  \nwarm seed. Jason half grunted as her tail stretched his ring wide and probed  \n  \ndeep inside of him; yelling loudly in his newfound pleasure as he emptied his  \n  \nload into An'karra's silky core. The fluids combined inside her and were forced  \n  \nout by the pressure of their mating; it splashed out and dribbled down her  \n  \ntail, tickling her tailhole on its journey downwards.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; Jason's  \n  \nhead was spinning, the pleasure was too much. An'karra let out a yelp with his  \n  \nstartled gasp as his knees buckled and he and An'karra tumbled to the floor in  \n  \na mess of cum and assorted limbs. The water continued to fall on them, like a\n\n\u0026nbsp; warm tropical rainstorm. They sat there, basking in their afterglow under the  \n  \npeaceful shower.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"You okay?\"  \n  \nHe heaved after a moment.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Fine...you?\"  \n  \nShe asked in between breathes. He nodded and she kissed him. \"Well, that was  \n  \nfun.\" He only chuckled, closing his eyes and enjoying the raw pleasure as she  \n  \nretracted her tail from his ass. There was a very audible slurping sound as she  \n  \npulled it out and wrapped it around him; pulling him closer on top of her.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"You  \n  \ncould've warned me before you did...that.\" He said, leaning his head against her  \n  \nneck; planting kisses upon its length.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"What would  \n  \nbe the fun in that?\" She chuckled. \"You seemed to enjoy it just fine as a  \n  \nsurprise.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I,\" he  \n  \ntook a deep breath, trying to slow his respiration. \"I never knew that it could  \n  \nbe so pleasureful.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"You've  \n  \nnever tried it yourself?\" He shook his head and she let out a humph.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Humph?  \n  \nWhat do mean by that?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, it's  \n  \njust that its fairly normal--where I come from--for males to use that part of  \n  \nthem just as much, if not more, than females for pleasure. It doesn't really\n\n\u0026nbsp; matter what it's used for as long as it's pleasurable.\"  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Really?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Really.\"  \n  \nShe panted. \"Do it by yourself or even call over a guy friend to do 'it' to  \n  \nyou.\" She saw Jason was noticeably shocked by this admission. \"We're not as  \n  \nuptight about such things as you are over here.\" She explained.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, I  \n  \nsee.\" Jason mused. He was totally supportive of same sex relationships and the  \n  \nlike, just didn't swing that way himself.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Most sex  \n  \nis almost casual. More of a practice run with your close friends, than anything  \n  \nelse. You do it with your friends to learn what to do when you get in bed with  \n  \nthe one you truly care about; to give the best time possible...like you do. It  \n  \ndoesn't matter who you love; even if they happen to be the same sex as you.  \n  \nThat's just how our lifestyle is.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"How  \n  \ninteresting. I wish we were that open minded,\" he said, picking himself up then  \n  \nhelping her get on her feet. \"We should finish, water's going to get cold,  \n  \nfast.\" He wanted to ask where he fit on her list, friend or other, but said\n\n\u0026nbsp; nothing of it as well. Best to wait.  \n\n\u0026nbsp; They  \n  \nfinished washing, still using enough energy to make it playful, and dried off.  \n  \nAn'karra picked up her shredded pants and jacket from the lip of the hamper,  \n  \nthumbing the tears.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I'm sure I  \n  \ncan find some thread to patch that, if you want to save it.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Yes,  \n  \nplease.\" She said immediately.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Okay, let  \n  \nme find you something to wear in the meantime.\" He said, turning to leave he  \n  \nbathroom, towel wrapped about his waist.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Oh,\" she  \n  \ngrabbed the towel, stopping him and almost taking it off. \"I don't need  \n  \nanything to wear. It's just us here.\" She said, pulling his body against hers.  \n  \n\"Whatever it is, it's going to come off eventually. Do we really need  \n  \nanything?\" She wormed her hands under the towel to tease his limp member.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Suit  \n  \nyourself. I want to at least have some bottoms on; male genitals are  \n  \nembarrassing.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Oh I don't  \n  \nthink so.\" She gently caressed his limp member, starting to get a response.  \n  \n\"Sure, yours doesn't retract to hide or anything, but it's not an eyesore.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Says you,\"  \n  \nhe chuckled, pulling away and finding a pair of shorts. \"But your wedding  \n  \ntackle isn't flopped out and ready for the next fish that comes by. Nor does it  \n  \nresemble some sculpture gone horribly wrong.\" She laughed as they walked out.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Well, me  \n  \nwalking around like this doesn't make you uncomfortable, does it?\" She asked,  \n  \nstretching her arms far above her head and making her body taught; leaning  \n  \nagainst the door jamb with wings fanning out slightly.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Not at the  \n  \nmoment, but you'll see it when it does,\" He chuckled, going into the kitchen.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I just  \n  \ndon't want to ruin another set of your clothes.\" She replied genuinely,  \n  \neliciting a scoffed snort.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I got  \n  \nplenty; plenty of hand-me-downs.\" She walked to the counter and he poured a  \n  \nglass of orange juice for her and for him as well; leaving the jug on the  \n  \ncounter. \"I'd be evermore grateful if you took them off my hands.\" He chuckled.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"I'm just  \n  \ntrying not to burden-,\" he cut her off--holding his hand up to head level and  \n  \npinching to fingers together--as soon as the word left her mouth.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \"You're _not_ a burden.\" He stressed. \"You are my  \n  \nguest.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Fine,\" she  \n  \nplayfully pouted. \"I'm just trying to be a good guest, then.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, I'd  \n  \nsay that you're a _very_ good guest.\"  \n  \nHe laughed from behind his glass, lifting it to take a sip. She pushed the  \n  \nbottom up on him, splashing a fair amount onto his face and laughing. \"Geez,\"  \n  \nhe said, wiping his mouth and chest with a hand towel. \"It was a compliment!  \n  \nAiyah, some people... \" She giggled before she stopped his hand that was wiping  \n  \nup. Leaning over the counter, she proceeded to lick him clean of the orange  \n  \njuice; a slightly sticky trail being left behind. She paid special attention to  \n  \nhis nipples and neck.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"What's  \n  \nthis? Hungry for more?\" He asked, overly playing shocked. She licked up his  \n  \nneck to his mouth, inserting her tongue and transferring the sweetness.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Mmm, always.\"  \n  \nShe lifted her body off the barstool and over the counter, coming to sit on it.  \n  \nShe held his head and leaned hers against it as he idly rubbed her pleasure  \n  \npatch.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Guess we  \n  \nshouldn't have taken a shower.\" He chuckled, nuzzling her.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Well, my  \n  \nskin was starting to burn. And besides, I'd rather get dirty all over again,  \n  \nnot dirtier.\" She pulled him into a deep kiss and ran her fingers through her  \n  \nhair. He dipped two of his fingers into her slit, massaging slowly and drawing  \n  \nthat sexy purr from her throat once more. He broke the kiss and stroked he face  \n  \nas she continued to purr at his attentions.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"Mmm, I  \n  \nlove that sound so much. I wish I could do that and give you the feeling it  \n  \ngives me.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; \"You also  \n  \nwish that you could fly, but there are some things that are better done with  \n  \nthe proper equipment you do not possess. And there are some things that you  \n  \npossess that I long for, that I want.\" She said while she slipped her tail down  \n  \nthe front of his shorts and gave his member a slight squeeze. \"And I do believe  \n  \nthat we want for the same thing.\" He smiled as she draped her neck over him,  \n  \nwrapping her head around back, and continued to purr as he pushed his fingers  \n  \ndeeper into her. Jason enjoyed the vibrations that he absorbed from her. They\n\n\u0026nbsp; entered his neck and shoulder and seemed to course throughout his whole body.   \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; She pulled  \n  \nhis hand out of her snatch and slid off the counter. She guided him back into  \n  \nthe living room and they laid down in front of the couch. His hand started to  \n  \nhead back down between her legs; instead, she stopped it and placed it on her  \n  \nback. She kissed him and pulled him close as she wrapped herself around him  \n  \nagain and resumed purring with great intensity. He kissed her, enjoying the  \n  \nvibrations and just massaged her flesh. She managed to slide his shorts off  \n  \nwithout breaking the kiss and he marveled at such dexterity.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; She slowly  \n  \nslithered down his body, eyes never breaking contact with his, and came to stop  \n  \nabove his crotch. She nuzzled his semi rigid shaft, letting the vibrations arouse  \n  \nand pleasure him a bit before she took him into her mouth. It took some  \n  \nadapting, but she was able to massage his hardening length with her tongue and  \n  \npurr at the same time. Jason moaned and writhed in ecstasy and she had to grab  \n  \nhis hips to immobilize him. His hands roamed her head as his mind was busy\n\n\u0026nbsp; being inundated by the pleasure, and explored the bases of her ears and horns;  \n  \nscratching the eye ridges tenderly.  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp; She kept  \n  \nher rhythmic ministrations going for sometime; bringing him to the edge more than  \n  \nonce only to back down; causing him to glare lovingly at her. The edges of her  \n  \nlips curled up in a devious smile as she continued to pleasure him. The warm,  \n  \nmoist tongue and the vibration combination became too much all too quickly and  \n  \nJason was quickly loosing the battle to hold on.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm gonna--g--,\" he started to warn  \n  \nher and she responded with a noticeable nod but did not stop her movements.  \n  \nJason just went with it and grabbed tufts of her hair as he yelled loudly and  \n  \nlet fly his seed into her maw. She responded by increasing the suction that she  \n  \nwas putting on him, wrapping her tongue around it and squeezing while making  \n  \nher purring louder. She drank down the salty fluid, disappointed that there was  \n  \nless than before; but humans could only hold so much.\n\n  \n  \n\nShe suckled on his member, her  \n  \ntongue teasing the over sensitive flesh causing him to shudder until she let it\n\n\u0026nbsp; slip from her mouth. She finished cleaning him up, slurping up anything stray  \n  \nbefore she licked her lips and moved up alongside him, licking his cheek.  \n  \n\n\"That...\" He panted as he hugged her  \n  \nto his chest, \"was...amazing.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Glad you enjoyed it,\" she  \n  \nwhispered, nuzzling him affectionately.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Unfortunately, now I need some  \n  \ndown time; men only have so many goes in them in a set amount of time.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"That's quite all right...\" she said  \n  \nwhile snuggling up against him, quite content to just lie there with him. \"I  \n  \nthink we should both take a breather...\" She was feeling lazy, possibly even  \n  \ntired considering the previous exertions, and her eyes went half lidded as she wrapped  \n  \nherself around Jason. She watched him close his eyes before she followed. She  \n  \npurred very softly to herself, fully enjoying Jason's embrace. _I've missed this..._ was her last thought  \n  \nbefore she drifted off.\n\n  \n\nConsidering what little rest that  \n  \nthey had had the night before, combined with the morning's exercise, An'karra  \n  \nwasn't all that surprised when she awoke to find the evening on its way out and\n\n\u0026nbsp; night settling down over the town in the glen. She found herself in Jason's  \n  \nbed; comforter draped over her and drapes still drawn shut for secrecy. She was  \n  \nalone and silently slipped out of bed to rectify that.  \n  \n\nShe found him in the living room  \n  \nstanding in front of the patio door. He had the curtain drawn slightly open and  \n  \nwas leaning with one arm against the door jamb. He just stood their stoically,  \n  \ngazing at something she couldn't identify. She crept up stealthily behind him,  \n  \nmanaging complete silence in a silent room, before she stood right behind him.  \n  \nHe gave a frightful jump and half gasp as she slid her arms around his waist.  \n  \nShe kissed him and smiled causing him to smile in turn. She leaned into him and  \n  \ndropped her head over his shoulder as he leaned back against her and reached a  \n  \nhand back to lightly scratch her neck.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm sorry if I'm keeping you  \n  \ncooped; you don't have to become a hermit on account of me. Go out and enjoy  \n  \nthe world.\" She said bringing them into contact with each other.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No, no; it's not that.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Then what are you trying to burn  \n  \nholes in by staring at?\" she whispered in his ear as she licked it playfully;  \n  \nhe shivered in response.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"The sunset...it's beautiful.\" He  \n  \nreplied, not taking his eyes off the scene outdoors. \"I-I've never really seen  \n  \none with my own eyes...it's so much more breathtaking than I've ever seen it  \n  \nbefore...thank you so much, dear heart.\" She responded by just hugging him  \n  \ncloser, rubbing her snout against the side of his neck and inhaling his scent  \n  \nas she absorbed the warmth and tenderness he radiated.\n\n  \n\nThey stood there for some time,  \n  \nwatching the last fingertips of daylight fade into darkness. The cloud cover  \n  \nhad burned off during the day and the sky came alight with the twinkle of  \n  \nbillions of stars and a half moon. They just stood there, Jason enjoying  \n  \nAn'karra's embrace and An'karra clinging to Jason; wrapping her wings around him.  \n  \nThey probably could've stood there for hours in the silence, but a noise broke  \n  \ncalm. It was odd at first; a bubbly, rumbling sound. Then it grew more audible.\n\n\u0026nbsp; It took Jason a moment to realize that it was her stomach. He looked down at  \n  \nher, her eyes opened from there half lidded position and looked up at him;  \n  \nedges of her lips curving up in a half grin, half smile.   \n  \n\n\"Hungry?\" She asked grinning.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I know you are.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Ah, yes; but for what?\" She said  \n  \nand quirked her left eye ridge at him. He chuckled and she let him go as he  \n  \nstarted to walk towards the kitchen.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"What do you feel like?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Kind of sore from last night and  \n  \nthis morning,\" She replied, poking her abdomen; and fun of him.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"What do you feel like, _food_ wise.\" He rolled his eyes.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh, I'd have to say like a fresh  \n  \nsoufflé; all warm and gooey on the inside.\" She said casual, smiling inwardly  \n  \nas she played with him. He pursed his lips in a half pout, half smile, picked  \n  \nup a jar with feigned frustration and cocked his arm back, aiming at her. She  \n  \njust started to laugh.\n\n  \n\nJason ended up cooking the roast  \n  \nfrom the previous day and making fajitas. After the food had been put away and  \n  \nthe dishes done, they curled up in Jason's bed; sitting upright against the\n\n\u0026nbsp; headboard.  \n  \n\n\"Mmm, that was delicious.\" She  \n  \nmurred as she rubbed her head under his chin.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Prime rib makes that best fajitas;  \n  \nthat's a medical fact.\" He joked as he stroked her hair on her neck.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I have no idea how I put that all  \n  \naway. I couldn't fit another bite, I'm so stuffed.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh, I know one thing I could still  \n  \nstuff you with...\" he hinted as he leaned his head against hers.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Not if you keep using bad puns like that  \n  \none.\" She giggled.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh, but you can?\" He asked  \n  \nindignantly and she just nodded and smirked in response.\n\n  \n\nThey ended up watching movies on  \n  \nthe screen across from the bed; just letting their food settle and holding each  \n  \nother. Jason was halfway through Equilibrium when he noticed that An'karra was  \n  \nfast asleep. She hadn't moved since they'd first lied down; staying curled  \n  \naround his right side much like she had been that morning. His arm was cupped  \n  \nbehind her; her head was against his chest. He lowered the volume, then turned  \n  \noff the screen and was trying to slink down off the head board when An'karra  \n  \nbegan to stir. She affectionately rubbed her snout under his chin and gave a\n\n\u0026nbsp; whisper of a purr.  \n  \n\n\"Jason?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Hmm?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm tired. Would you mind if we  \n  \nsaved my 'exercise' for tomorrow?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Mind? Not at all,\" he said as he  \n  \ntenderly kissed her forehead. \"In fact, I was gonna just let you sleep; but you  \n  \nhad to foil my plans and wake up.\" He kissed her on the forehead  \n  \naffectionately. \"You're still not one-hundred percent and you're probably  \n  \nfeeling that you're stretched pretty thin.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Mmm, yes.\" She mumbled as she  \n  \nstarted to fall back into her slumber; her eye lids growing heavy. She'd slept  \n  \nfor most of the day and still felt fatigued. Jason turned the lights off with  \n  \nthe remote that sat on the nightstand on his side. \"One more thing.\" She  \n  \nmumbled.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Hmm?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Would you mind...holding me like  \n  \nthis for the night; at least until I'm asleep? You're so comfortable...so warm...\"  \n  \nHe just gave her another kiss on the forehead and scratched between her horns  \n  \nas she gave one final purr and went to sleep.\n\n  \n\nJason awoke the next morning to an  \n  \nempty bed. The house was completely silent, no noise from the kitchen, bathroom\n\n\u0026nbsp; or downstairs. Further exploration revealed that the house contained only one  \n  \noccupant. Silence and darkness reigned throughout the house.  \n  \n\nJason felt dropped, heartbroken.  \n  \nHad she left? Really just thanked him with one day and left? He flopped  \n  \ndejectedly onto the couch. That's when he saw the note stuck to the fridge. He  \n  \nstopped himself from getting up. Should he read it? Was it a sorry note for  \n  \nleaving? Or would it just make fun of him. He had to know; so he convinced himself  \n  \nto get up and read it. _Please of please  \n  \ndon't be a Dear John._  \n  He mused.\n\n  \n  \n\nFlipping on the kitchen light, he  \n  \nplucked off the note:\n\n  \n\nOut  \n  \nstretching my wings;\n\n  \n  \n\nwill be back.\n\n  \n  \n\n  \n  \n\nHe smiled, his shoulders sagged  \n  \nwith a sigh and he relaxed. He was so insecure--he always had been--and she knew  \n  \nit. She'd even underlined the 'will be back' part twice. He chuckled to  \n  \nhimself; God, he was so lucky. They had spent a little over a day together and  \n  \nshe already knew about and how to deal with his insecurities. She knew about his  \n  \nwhole life, like she'd known him all his life. She technically did or so she'd\n\n\u0026nbsp; told him over dinner; from reading his life's memories. He folded the note and  \n  \ntossed it on the counter and chuckled to himself. He'd been all giddy the past  \n  \ntwo days; he couldn't describe it. Was this love? Could it really happen so  \n  \nfast? He'd always believed that true love did. So was it wrong to let her know  \n  \nhow he felt? Even if it turned out to be pure, would it be enough to make her  \n  \nstay?  \n\nAn'karra flapped mightily, wings  \n  \ncupping massive volumes of air as she gained altitude and speed. She crested a  \n  \nledge and dropped to the deck, picking up as much speed as she could. The wind  \n  \nrushed past her ears, her hair fell flat against her back. She'd missed this,  \n  \nonly bed stricken a few days, but she felt empty without it. Hugging the land,  \n  \nshe flew over the rolling hills and entered a large meadow.\n\n  \n  \n\nThe long grass whipped in her wake,  \n  \ntickling her belly. Flaring her wings, she slowed coming up to a hill and  \n  \nlanded. She grunted a bit with strain as her weakened legs took the brunt of  \n  \nher landing; they had been reduced for material needed to heal her as well as\n\n\u0026nbsp; atrophying during her time loafing about the house. She found a downed log and  \n  \nrested her taught muscles. _I'm so lucky s_he  \n  \nthought as she looked at the beauty that surrounded her. She had almost lost  \n  \nit; ironically almost killed by it. An affinity for nature was kind of scripted  \n  \ninto her blood and here she was; back in the thick of it and enjoying every  \n  \nmoment of fresh air.   \n  \n\nA wind crossed the meadow and  \n  \ncooled the sweat beading on her head and back of her neck. She shivered a bit  \n  \nin its soothing embrace and listened to it as it rushed over the land and  \n  \nthrough the trees. It was so lovely here, but she had to return home soon; her  \n  \nhome. Yesterday was the first time she'd thoroughly enjoyed herself in several  \n  \ncenturies. She reflected on it as the wind continued to dry her sweat. Jason  \n  \nwas one in a billion, possibly several billion; she was sure of that, but what  \n  \nwas she going to do about it? Part of her was falling head over heels in love  \n  \nfor him, just after knowing him for one or two days! The other part of  \n  \nhowever...wasn't sure she was ready to love again; wasn't sure if she _could_ love again.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nEra'kanath had been one in several  \n  \nbillion as well. Strong, smart, funny and caring; and all the other good words  \n  \nin the dictionary. She had been climbing in a valley north of her home city  \n  \nwhen she grabbed a loose rock and tumbled to the base, breaking her wing and a  \n  \nleg. He had been on a vacation, camping in the forest when he'd found her. He'd  \n  \nstopped the bleeding and carried her back to the city for proper medical  \n  \nattention. A two day flight at least; which he had flown nonstop with her in  \n  \nhis arms; over burdening his wings and muscles and tearing tissue in several  \n  \nplaces.\n\n  \n  \n\nHe had saved her life that day; and  \n  \nthey never separated after that. It wasn't that she wasn't clumsy or anything,  \n  \njust unlucky. After recovering, they instantly fell for one another and for 116  \n  \nyears they loved and made love to each other; right up to his death. Tears  \n  \nappeared and streamed down her cheeks unchallenged. She continued to sob  \n  \nuncontrollably.\n\n  \n  \n\nHe had been _too_ damn helpful, passing a burning apartment complex on the way  \n  \nhome. Seeing others just gathering around, waiting for emergency services, and\n\n\u0026nbsp; hearing screams from inside; he rushed in without a second thought. He managed  \n  \nto save six others; six who were trapped by debris, unconscious or too young to  \n  \nsave themselves. He went back in just as firefighters arrived on scene and  \n  \nnever made it back out.  \n  \n\nAfter the fire was out, they found  \n  \nhim in the basement under a massive amount of debris; concrete pillars and  \n  \nfloor plates. The basement was untouched by the fire; it was obvious that he  \n  \nhad fallen through. A body of charred flesh and broken bones was uncovered,  \n  \ncurled protectively around another form...a little girl; still alive. He was the  \n  \nonly casualty in that fire; he'd heroically saved seven others by sacrificing  \n  \nhis life.\n\n  \n  \n\nIt easily made the news. He was  \n  \nhonored as a national hero and was given a funeral as such; awards and all.  \n  \nThousands came by to pay their respects. Their friends rallied around her and  \n  \ngave her everything they could. Needless to say it had been tough for her. She  \n  \nwas close to killing herself when she was convinced by her close friends that\n\n\u0026nbsp; Era would've wanted her to go on. It took her years to agree with that; and she  \n  \nnever started looking for a replacement; how could she?  \n  \n\nFor the past 247 years, she'd  \n  \nslowly rebuilt her life with the help of her friends. Had gotten a job, a new  \n  \nhome and tried to enjoy life as she once had. She learned to love her friends,  \n  \nbut never used that love she'd had once; until now. She felt something with  \n  \nJason; something had been cold a long time, dormant. He was as selfless as Era  \n  \nhad been; kind and considerate. He made her laugh--something few had been able  \n  \nto make her do in the past centuries--made not just content, but actually happy.  \n  \nLast night had been the first night in centuries that she had fallen asleep in  \n  \nloving arms.\n\n  \n  \n\nWas she rushing into things?  \n  \nKnowing him for so little. Well, she technically had known him for all his  \n  \nlife. She had seen everything he'd ever done; his own share of heroics. Not  \n  \njumping into a flaming building, but just as noble. He dove into a canal to  \n  \nrescue a driver who'd taken a plunge. That alone was enough for her to\n\n\u0026nbsp; seriously take a mental step back and honor him. But volunteering, changing  \n  \nflat tires, groceries and the like were common for him. If there was ever going  \n  \nto be another love in her life, this was probably it. The question she now  \n  \nfaced: was she ready to move on; to find another mate? She'd had the occasional  \n  \nmale partner--a close friend--to help her though her heat; but never a lover.  \n  \nThat had changed that first night with Jason. She felt something for him that  \n  \nshe'd only felt once before in her life. An inexplicable attraction to him that  \n  \nmade her want to revive her old feelings. Some would say she was moving too  \n  \nfast, but love was a feeling from the gut, intuition; and she was going to act  \n  \non it. So her answer could only be...  \n  \n\n\"I love him...\" she said to herself.  \n  \nShe knew his entire life, but he knew nothing about her. Would he feel the same  \n  \nway? He would need more time to come up with an answer. Or would she scare him  \n  \naway? She should hold off for at least little longer, let them get more  \n  \naccustomed to each other. She got up off the log and ran off the top of the\n\n\u0026nbsp; hill, wings snapping open as she leapt into the air and making a powerful first  \n  \ndown stroke. She made it back up over the mountains and prepared to cross the  \n  \nlong distance back to Jason...back into loving arms. She closed her eyes, wings  \n  \ntaking over her flight on pure intuition.  \n  \n\n_Era'kanath,  \n  \nmy dear heart...I will never forget you--never stop loving you; but he makes me  \n  \nfeel the same way that you did, something I lost and now have a chance to  \n  \nregain; and I can't let that pass. I know that you'd understand. You will be a  \n  \npart of me forever, my love._  \n  She  \n  \nprayed in her mind to her mate as she often did. The passing wind dried her  \n  \ntears and new ones came; tears of joy. For years, her friends had told her that  \n  \nEra'kanath would want her to be happy, no matter who it was with; that was the  \n  \nnature of true love. Now, it was time for her to agree.\n\n  \n\nJason was in the kitchen preparing  \n  \nhimself a sandwich when he heard the backdoor open and shut quietly. He wiped  \n  \nhis hands; picking up the plate he walked over to meet An'karra coming up the\n\n\u0026nbsp; steps.  \n  \n\n\"Hungry?\" He asked, holding the  \n  \nplate out to her and greeting her with a smile.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Ooo, thank you,\" she said cresting  \n  \nthe steps, kissing him as she past him towards the couch. Sitting down, she  \n  \ndabbed sweat off her brow and took a large chunk out of her half of sandwich.  \n  \nShe stretched her sore legs and rubbed a fatigued shoulder, popping the lazy  \n  \njoints. Setting the plate on the lamp table, Jason joined her on the couch.  \n  \nNodding for her to face the window, he started to massage her taught neck and  \n  \nshoulders.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Mmm, thank you dear,\" she moaned.  \n  \n\"Hmm, you're good at that.\" He just shushed her to relax and kept kneading the  \n  \nbase of her neck. \"Oh yeah, right there.\" She leaned into his articulate  \n  \nfingers. \"You're being awfully quiet...\" He just hmphed and continued to massage  \n  \nher. Her tension drained with the emotional maelstrom she'd experienced on her  \n  \nexcursion and flowed into the silent room.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"So where'd you go?\" he finally  \n  \nbroke the silence after several minute of her purring.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Northwest of here. Through the  \n  \nmountains and over the lowlands.\" She paused a moment and smiled. \"You thought\n\n\u0026nbsp; I went home, didn't you?\" Jason's hands stopped for a moment.  \n  \n\n\"Yes.\" He whispered. \"Then I found  \n  \nyour note.\" She put her hand on her shoulder, on top of his. Pulling it across  \n  \nher chest, she leaned back against him and made him hug her. She leaned her  \n  \nhead back over his shoulder while he leaned down and kissed her neck. Her sweet  \n  \nscent wafted into his nostrils, mixed with the sweat of her exercise.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm not just going to pick up and  \n  \nleave you.\" _Was now the time? Maybe a  \n  \nlittle longer...he's not ready._\n\n  \n  \n\n\"You could you know, and I wouldn't  \n  \nbe able to stop you.\" _But I could hope  \n  \nlike hell that I could give you a reason that would do the trick. But would it  \n  \nbe enough for her?_\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No, I couldn't. I owe you  \n  \neverything and more.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No, you don't owe me anything. I'm  \n  \nthe one that owe--you know what?\" he smiled. \"Why don't we just drop the tab  \n  \nkeeping?\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Mmm, I'll agree to that...but I  \n  \nstill owe you,\" she giggled. They kissed and she let a long sigh escape.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Still tired?\" he asked, arms still  \n  \nwrapped around her.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"A bit; I might have pushed a\n\n\u0026nbsp; little too hard.\" He tsked and she responded with a nuzzle of his cheek.  \n  \n\n\"Well, come watch the sunset with  \n  \nme and rest, then.\"\n\n  \n  \n\n\"That sounds lovely...\" she said as  \n  \nfatigue took over her muscles and mind. Jason shrugged out of her and started  \n  \nto pick her up off the couch. Hey! I can walk!\" she cried indignantly; he  \n  \nkissed her to silence.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'm letting you rest,\" he smiled  \n  \naffectionately at her. \"Now don't shake or I'll drop you.\" he carried her to  \n  \nthe end of the hallway on the end of the kitchen that ended with a staircase  \n  \nthat led up to the roof. She'd never been here before and was pleasantly  \n  \nsurprised to find it lead to another room on the roof.\n\n  \n  \n\nIt was like an observatory of some  \n  \nsort. There were some lawn recliners, a table and workbench. There was also a  \n  \nvery expensive looking telescope hooked up to another computer. One wall was  \n  \nall windows, facing the rapidly setting sun. He gently placed her on one of the  \n  \nrecliner and scooted the other over beside her.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Can I get you anything? Drink?  \n  \nAnother sandwich?\" she just grabbed his hand delicately in hers.\n\n  \n  \n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Hmm, no dear; I'm fine.\" He sat on  \n  \nthe other chair, mimicking her recumbent position.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Oh, don't worry about the windows;  \n  \nthey're one way.\" She just smiled with her eyes closed.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I didn't think that you'd bring me  \n  \nup here if it wasn't safe.\" She patted his hand before releasing it and  \n  \nsettling in for a relaxing couple of hours.\n\n  \n  \n\nThe sun lowered in the horizon,  \n  \ncoloring altering from gold to orange. They just laid there, watching the sun  \n  \nsay goodbye to the world. She eventually transferred to his cot and curled up  \n  \non him.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"It's so beautiful,\" she murmured  \n  \nnear the end.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"Uh huh,\" he replied, stroking her  \n  \nneck. \"At this time of the year, its just like autumn, and those are the best  \n  \ntimes; they bring out the best colors.\" He sighed with content. \"An autumn  \n  \nsunset; it reminds me of you...you, you are my autumn sunset.\" She bolted  \n  \nupright, startling him.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"What?\" she spurted.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I just said you remind me of an  \n  \nautumn sunset,\" he said, baffled, \"I meant no harm by it. I promise I won't use  \n  \nit again,\" he said apologetically.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"No...its okay. It sounds good coming\n\n\u0026nbsp; from you.\" He restrained from pushing further, from alienating her more and  \n  \nthey just went back to their original position. Purple started to take over the  \n  \nsky and they happily fell asleep in each other's arms.   \n\nJason was brought out of his  \n  \nslumber by the most pleasureful sensation coming from his crotch. He opened his  \n  \neyes and found An'karra running her long tongue up and down his already stiff  \n  \nshaft; grinning at him. She'd miraculously been able to completely undress him  \n  \nin his sleep! She was nude as well and shown gloriously under the light of a  \n  \nfull moon that seeped in through the ceiling windows.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"You were obviously dreaming of  \n  \nsomething interesting...mind telling me what it was.\" She added another lick,  \n  \npausing at the head.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I'd think that I'd rather show  \n  \nyou...\" She grinned and took his member into her maw, wrapping her tongue around  \n  \nit and applying heavy suction. She skillfully pivoted on his shaft--not letting  \n  \ngo--and positioned her slit above his head; ushering him onward. He bent upwards  \n  \nand gave it a long lick before her inserted a finger. She was already dripping\n\n\u0026nbsp; on him as he started his entry into her warm confines.  \n  \n\nHe aroused her further for several  \n  \nminutes before he probed his tongue back into her tailhole. She let loose a  \n  \nmoan around his cock and lost her rhythm with the pleasure; her leg even  \n  \nspasming and flailing to one side. She responded by licking his pee hole as she  \n  \nfondled his balls; eliciting a moan from him in return. They remained like this  \n  \nfor a while, drawing out the pleasure; nothing but slurping, moaning and other  \n  \nwet noises filling the room with their musk.\n\n  \n  \n\nJason decided to go first and  \n  \npicked up his speed, pumping his hands furiously in concert with his tongue.  \n  \nAn'karra took her cue and mimicked him, head bobbing at a feverish pace. She  \n  \nscreamed around the meat in her mouth and shoved her pussy against his face,  \n  \ntrying to get as much of his tongue and fingers as possible. Jason drank as  \n  \nmuch of her sweetness as possible, grunting through the liquid as he shot his  \n  \nseed into An'karra's mouth.\n\n  \n  \n\nThey drank deeply of each other for  \n  \na long time, panting for air when they separated. An'karra spun around and\n\n\u0026nbsp; proceeded to lick Jason's face clean before locking lips and exchanging fluids.  \n  \nShe positioned her slit above his shaft and he guided her down onto him. A loud  \n  \nmoan escaped them both as he impaled her deeply. She didn't pause this time,  \n  \nand immediately rose again and started the pleasureful motion. Jason kept his  \n  \nhand on her hips, pistoning her on him as she kneaded her breasts. She wrapped  \n  \nher tail around his leg as they picked up speed, leaning over him and resting  \n  \non his shoulders so she could help him make her move faster.  \n  \n\n\"Oh, Jason...\" She moaned through  \n  \nclenched teeth, biting her lip; trying to hold out against the pleasure as long  \n  \nas she could, giving Jason as much as she could in return for his contribution.  \n  \n\"Faster...\" her murring ushered him on and he picked up speed. The recliner was  \n  \nshaking frantically, ready to fall apart under the onslaught of the ecstasy  \n  \noccurring above it. Jason held on with all his might, determined to make her  \n  \nrelease first. He was rewarded with her roar as she arched her back to an\n\n\u0026nbsp; almost ridiculous angle and squeezed his shaft mightily with her inner muscles.  \n  \n\n\"OH YES--JASON!\" she cried into the  \n  \nair as she reached down to grind her clit against his cock. He joined in and  \n  \nslammed her down as far as he could and released his load deep into her molten  \n  \ncore. She leaned down and they locked into a passionate kiss as they rode the  \n  \nrest of their climaxes. They stayed like this for a while, the passion a never  \n  \nending circle between them.\n\n  \n  \n\nAn'karra's legs eventually gave out  \n  \nand she collapsed on top of him. They broke apart and she laid her head across  \n  \nhis chest, nuzzling his chin and purring the way she knew he liked it. They  \n  \ncontinued to breathe heavily as they pulled each other close; sharing their  \n  \nsated lust afterglow of love. It was a while before either of them spoke. They  \n  \njust sat their, fondling one another affectionately.\n\n  \n  \n\n\"If only we were outside; it's such  \n  \na beautiful night...to sleep under the stars.\" She murmured, lethargy quickly  \n  \novertaking her. Jason just smiled the way he did while he reached over to the\n\n\u0026nbsp; table by them and pressed a button on the remote that sat atop it. There was a  \n  \nlow whirring of motors and a slit appeared in the ceiling. It widened and the  \n  \ntwo halves of the roof peeled back to reveal the whole night sky.   \n  \n\n\"Your wish is my command...\" he  \n  \nwhispered as she grew wide-eyed, watching the roof settle into its open  \n  \nposition. She resumed her purring and nuzzling and he hugged her close,  \n  \ninhaling as much of her intoxicating scent as he could. Several moments of  \n  \nsilence passed between them before a whisper emerged from one of them:\n\n  \n  \n\n\"I love you...\"\n\n  \n  \n_A/N: Who said it first?_  \n  \n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"After the Rain","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/21119-after-the-rain.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/22902-the-return-home.json"}}
