Fairview Mall always seemed to be busy, especially in the early afternoon. It was New Years Eve and tons of people were scurrying around, trying to get to the 'after Christmas clearance deals'. I didn't really believe in the clearances, I just saw it as another excuse that people used to spend money. If I weren't stuck in the Foxes 'N Nobles store, I probably wouldn't have even been in the mall altogether, but I promised that I would sit here until he finished trying on clothes. He brought me to this store every year so that he could shop, but we always seemed to leave with empty paws.

'At least I'm not here alone this time.' I thought to myself as I sat back in my chair. We decided to bring two friends with us this year to help ease the boredom on my part, but they just kept to themselves this entire time and left me out of their conversations. The store was particularly empty today. Aside from the doe greeting at the door saying, "Hello! Welcome to Foxes 'N Nobles, if there is anything that I can help you with please let me know", there wasn't really much noise in the room. I tried to stay patient and not rush the fox out of the dressing room, but with Justin snickering back at me while him and Barry conversed near the other side of the store, my patience was growing thin.

"I'm ready." A soft tenor voice called from inside the dressing room. 'It's about time,' I thought as I stood and stretched. We've been waiting for a little more than an hour while he experimented in the back. It usually took everything in me to keep from falling asleep. Justin and Barry were no help at all, I hadn't really expected them to keep me company anyway since they were more of Thomas' friends than they were mine. I quickly made my way back to the dressing room, noting the feel of the uncomfortable carpet against my feet. Thomas had the door locked, so I had to knock a few times before he came to the door.

He poked his head through the door, hiding his body behind it, and smiled. "How can I help you sir?" He asked, cupping his ears towards me in a seemingly innocent manner. "Oh I'm sorry," I matched the playful tone of his voice, "my boyfriend called me back here so I could judge an outfit for him. I must have the wrong room."

"Wait," I had turned to walk away but he stopped me. "is your boyfriend cute?" We shared a smile. "Oh yeah he's a gorgeous fox. He has scarlet red fur throughout most of his body, but his paws, feet, and the tip of his ears are a light brown. Also, he has a very sexy white streak going from the bottom of his muzzle down to... his inner thigh. The tip of his tail is white and his gorgeous blue eyes are to die for." Thomas was grinning wide at the descriptive compliments. He crooked a finger for me to come into the room and I obediently followed.

"You know," I said as I looked him up and down, "I half expected you to be naked."

"If I were naked, it wouldn't really leave much to imagination." He teased. Although the outfit he was wearing wasn't really leaving much to imagination either, whatever feelings of annoyance that I lost upon entering the room came flooding back. I wasn't angry at him, in particular, but I was irritated at his selection. "Do you like it?" He asked as he did a slow turn, allowing me to see his backside. He bent over, lifted his tail, and shook his rump for me in an attempt to be sexy. The display made my sheath jump a little but I chose to ignore it.

"Thomas, sweetie, you know I hate it when you dress like that." I tried to keep the same playful tone that I had when I entered, but I couldn't help but slip up a little. He had on a fish net top, and very tight fitting black pants. He turned back around and smiled at me, "I know Kota, I just didn't like any of the other stuff so I decided to have a little fun." He pulled off the top and pushed me over to one of the benches beside the mirror. He slid into my lap and proceeded to lick my ears.

I shuddered at the feeling of his warm tongue licking the extremely sensitive flesh. "Does my bunny like to have his ears licked?" Thomas asked as he began grinding his hips into my stomach, showing off the very obvious bulge growing in the tight fitting pants. I let out a soft moan when he started licking again. I let my paws roam around his body, ruffling his fur and enjoying his lithe figure before I brought them down to his waist.

"Please take these off." I hooked my fingers into the waistband of his pants. I asked more out of annoyance than of lust. "Mmm," Thomas happily took his pants off and resettled himself on my lap. "now that my pants are off, what next?" He was stroking the now obvious bulge in my own pants as he spoke. For a second, his blue eyes met my deep lavender ones and I leaned in for a kiss. Before our lips touched, I whispered softly "Now you get dressed so we can leave." At first he looked at me bewildered, then he rolled his eyes and grunted. "You're no fun at all, you know that?" Thomas said as he hopped off of my lap.

"That's why you love me right?" I had to readjust my own pants to hide my arousal. We both stood and he glared at me with mock anger. I just laughed. "Aww what's wrong foxy? Did the evil bunny give you an erection?" I cupped his muzzle in my paw and he snapped at my fingers. "Seriously, what? You didn't expect me to let you mate me in the dressing room did you?

"Well no, but I was hoping for that kiss." He bent down and reached for his pants and I slid behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "You know I love you right?" I asked as I slowly began rocking from side to side. He straightened himself and leaned back against me, his long bushy tail pressed between us. "I know Kota, you say it every other sentence." He turned to look at me and nuzzled my neck fur. "And even then it doesn't lose any meaning." I nuzzled back, and before long we were kissing. I spread my lips and the familiar warmth pushed its way in, deepening the kiss. We were still rocking from side to side as our tongues explored each other's muzzle. The act itself used to be challenging since his muzzle was longer than mine, but we've gotten used to it over the years.

The kiss lasted for several long heartbeats before we parted, panting. I looked down with half lidded eyes to see a tent in his boxer briefs, and he glanced over his shoulder at me with a look of expectancy. I reached down and brushed his hardening length through the soft fabric with the back of my paw, eliciting a low murmur out of him. Then I turned my paw around and grasped his sheath more sternly and he gasped. "Mmm, you're really worked up aren't you?" I asked even though I knew he could feel my own arousal poking at the base of his tail.

"Please keep going." He turned and licked my cheek, then smiled. "Sorry foxy, not in a public place. I'll take care of you later." I nuzzled his cheek and he giggled.

"I'll hold you to that," he proceeded to put on the pants that he'd been holding, "maybe I can take care of you this time as well." And this time I laughed.

"I don't think you have the patience for that foxy." I patted his shoulder before leaving the dressing room. When I made it back to the main store, Justin and Barry were nowhere to be seen. I asked the greeter where they went but the doe just told me that they said that they'd be back.

Soon, Thomas emerged from the dressing room with an arm full of clothes. "Didn't take a liking to anything dear?" The doe asked him. He just shook his head. "Well just leave them in a chair and I'll get to them shortly. If there's anything else I can help you with, please let me know."

"She was very nice." Thomas chimed as we walked through the mall. People were walking by with bundles of bags and boxes, some larger than others. It felt mildly awkward watching everyone else shop while we were walking through the mall empty pawed. "It was probably all just for appearances. She has to be nice to everyone to make them feel welcomed; otherwise, no one would shop there." Thomas was checking the time on his phone.

"Not quite time yet?"

"No, not yet. We still have enough time for a little 'run' though." He cocked an ear and winked at me.

"We haven't been on a run in...who knows how long." My attempt at being noncommittal was shot down as he grabbed my paw and dragged me into the nearest store. I didn't think that he'd even stopped to look at the name before pulling me in.

"Welcome to Gateway! Yadda yadda and so-on, you two know the rest. If you need anything let me know." The skunk at the register hadn't even looked up from his magazine to greet us. We nodded our acknowledgements out of habit more than courtesies. We walked out of ear shot of the skunk and proceeded to look around. The store was full of tight fitting leather clothes, and leather jewelry such as chokers, and collars. I couldn't imagine myself wearing any of the clothing, but Thomas seemed to be more interested than I was. Since he's a fox I could imagine why he would be interested in the collars, but he seems to have some sort of attraction to tight fitting clothing that I am adamant about not letting him pursue.

I cleared my throat and he snapped back to attention. "You ready?" His tail was wagging ecstatically with anticipation in contrast to mine. He always seemed to get more worked up when we did this. I told him to get the jackets and collars while I got the pants and back packs. Within a few minutes, Thomas and I had managed to gather a nice assortment of items. The skunk whom had previously showed no emotion was surprised to see us walk up to the register with so many things. Upon closer inspection, I could see that the skunk was adorned with black studded piercings and tattoos. And judging from his clothes, it looked as though he shopped here.

He hid the magazine before I got the chance to glance at it, but he was smiling a lot more than when we'd walked in. "Is there anything else I can help you gentlemen with?" It was obvious that he was speaking with feigned interest and judging from the flick of Thomas' ears, I could tell that he caught it too. We shook our heads and he clasped his paws before he started ringing everything up. About halfway through, he began telling us how boring his job is and offered us some sort of special discount that comes with a purchase of two hundred dollars or more. Thomas started bouncing on his heels when he heard the price but the skunk didn't seem to notice.

"Okay the total is three hundred twenty five dollars and sixty seven cents," he said with a smile, "how will you two be paying for this?" Thomas looked at me and the cashier followed his gaze. I pretended to reach for my wallet but I hesitated when I saw the skunks eyes following my paw. "You know," I said slowly, "we didn't really want to buy anything. We just wanted to know the price." The skunks ears immediately went down and he squinted his eyes. He slammed both of his paws on the counter, but he still didn't say anything. Thomas and I started to walk away before he called out "Someone's going to have to put this back!" He wasn't even trying to keep the annoyance out of his voice when he spoke. Thomas and I just started walking faster. "Did you hear me?" he shouted, "Get back here and put everything back!" His voice just sounded like high pitched squeaks to us now. It was hard holding in our giggles and it took everything in me to not just bolt out of the door. That part would come soon enough.

Sure enough, just as we exited and turned the corner, we heard the skunk yelling for security. We were jogging now, we knew it wouldn't take long before security came into view so we kept looking back to see which two guards were coming for us. Suddenly, two wolves dressed in green uniforms appeared behind a crowd of shoppers. "Oh crap," Thomas whispered, "I picked a bad day to start running again." He smiled at me but his ears were folded in a way that said 'sorry'. He knew that I was deathly afraid of wolves. I couldn't even handle seeing them in school.

"Hey! You two up there, hold it!" One of the guards shouted. We didn't look back to see which it was before Thomas gave me a look that said; 'are you ready'? I nodded and we both darted off in opposite directions.

The shoppers were screaming and gasping as I ran past them. My heart was pounding now, my blood was rushing through my body and it felt like my ears were on fire as my adrenaline started to kick in. Even though it felt like I was running for my life, I still managed to say "excuse me," and "pardon me" to everyone that I brushed past. I was trying to dodge them more than push them out of the way. The former was more fun and the latter was just rude.

I looked back to see which of the guards was chasing me, and to my surprise, I saw both of them! They were catching up fairly quickly too. One of the wolves started barking out orders, and I began to run faster. It seemed as though my body was moving on its own accord as I dodged pedestrians with more precision, spinning and jumping, sliding and diving. My heart jumped every time I looked back when I noticed how close the guards were getting. And a deep sense of fear coursed through my body when I noticed that they were now running on all fours, barking loudly. The 'this is just for fun' mentality quickly left my mind when the 'predator and prey' mentality kicked in. Before I knew it, I was down on all fours as well blazing through the crowd with the speed of a feral bunny running for its life.

Thomas was still nowhere to be seen, but I wasn't really looking for him. My mind was racing so fast, that I couldn't focus on one thing long enough to form an idea on getting away before the next thought came charging in. It seemed like I'd been running for an eternity before I saw a large neon sign that read "Food Court". I performed a screeching drift around the corner, and slid into the nearest restroom before disappearing into one of the stalls. I pulled my knees up to my chest on the seat and just sat there trying to catch my breath. My chest was burning, and I felt like I was sweating rivers. Throughout all of the commotion, I hadn't noticed how turned on I was. Whenever I was face to face with a wolf, I would freak out like a vixen when she saw a feral mouse. But to have not only one, but two of them chase me on all fours like that, it almost turned me on more than it would have if it'd been Thomas chasing me. The images of the wolves danced in my head while I sat there catching my breath.

My ears flicked wildly in all directions when I heard the bathroom door suddenly open. I breathed in so sharply that it almost sounded like a squeak, but I found myself unable to breathe out. I heard the steps getting louder as they drew closer, and I drew my knees closer to my chest. For a moment, I sat there frozen on the seat. My thoughts were racing and my arousal was growing with each beat of my frantic heart against my inner chest. It seemed as though my heart was beating so loudly that I could hear it in my ears. The light brown foot paws stopped in front of my stall, and just from looking at the claws, I could tell that they were very much canine.

Even after the door opened, I was still frozen on the seat. "Are you okay sweetie?" Thomas asked, there was a look of worry on his muzzle that wasn't there when we parted ways. I tried to respond but I still couldn't exhale. My chest was burning to the point of feeling like I was going to suffocate. I was panicking. I punched my chest and grabbed at my throat in an attempt to let Thomas know what was wrong, and thankfully he got the message. I reached for the inhaler in my pocket but he rushed in and pressed his muzzle to mine before exhaling deeply, sucking the air out of my lungs.

I pulled away and inhaled again, this time effectively catching my breath. Thomas was still kneeling in front me when I started to relax. His eyes searched mine for a moment while he was trying to figure out what to say. Before he could say anything, however, I pushed him against the stall door with a kiss. Forcing his muzzle open with my tongue, I deepened the kiss and furiously rubbed my arousal into his waist. My shaft was already out of my sheath and throbbing from the chase, and seeing Thomas just drove me over the point of self control.

In between kisses I heard him saying things like "Are you okay?" and "I was so worried", but he eventually just gave up and started kissing and groping back. I was delighted to feel his sheath hardening through his pants to match my arousal. I reached my paw down his pants to rub his furry sac while reaching around him with my other arm to make sure that the door was locked this time. I pushed against him again for a kiss and used my paw that was on the door to stroke his tail. Long fluffy tails are like an aphrodisiac to me, and Thomas knows it.

His advancements were becoming more frantic and lust driven as well. His paws were roaming up my shirt and along my back, claws lightly digging into my fur and scratching my sensitive skin. Then Thomas turned us around and pushed my back against the stall door before he started taking charge. I didn't mind of course, Thomas had always been the more dominant one in the relationship.

Both of his paws found their way down to my pants, and pushed past the waistband to grasp my rump and sheath. I unfastened his belt and unbuttoned his pants so I could stroke his length more freely, and he mirrored my actions. I stroked his ivory length up and down, eliciting low moans and growls from him that made me feel giddy. I love hearing him growl at me, and I started stroking faster to get more. Thomas' paws also began working with more vigor. His paw on my length was working furiously, making me moan into the kiss as well. I could feel the friction from his paw pads and my legs were beginning to get weak. His other paw was still groping at my rump, and I jumped little when he got a little too close to my tail hole. Noticing this, Thomas did it again, and I slowly pulled away.

"Is it because we're in public?" He asked in between pants. We both could tell that our erections were pretty much out in the air now since our pants had fallen down to our ankles some time ago seeing as neither of us put on much of a fight to hold them up. "No, I'm just not ready to go that far yet." Thomas just nodded, even though I knew he didn't understand my hesitation. He didn't just want to top me, he wanted to mate me.

I don't really know all of the details behind it but it seems to be really important to him. If it were just sex then I would be all for it, but he tells me mating is a little different. When a canine just has sex, they can tie the other person freely without any sort of obligation afterwards. But for a canine to mate, he has to both tie and bite the other person. And when a canine mates someone, they are mated for life.

Again, I don't really know all of the details behind it but he's been resolute about professing his love to me for a really long time now and the only excuse that I've been able to give him before I ultimately deny him is either: "I'm not ready yet" or "I'm not sure". Thankfully, he never really puts up much of a fight beyond that and he always respects my wishes. I am very thankful for that.

His paw on my stiff member hadn't stopped working, but his other paw moved away from my rump and wagging tail to cup my sac. He was stroking with practiced precision. Making sure to keep his claws away, and to gently squeeze at places where he knew I was sensitive. Thomas knew that I couldn't climax this way and he didn't mind. He just got enjoyment out of playing with me. I was working his length in the same manner as well. Squeezing gently on sensitive parts and my other paw was still stroking his tail, marveling in the thickness of his winter coat and how soft it felt.

His pants were becoming more frantic now, and judging from the knot quickly forming at the base of his shaft, he wasn't going to last much longer. Slowly, I stepped out of my pants and gently pushed him over to the toilet. He sat and spread his legs and I knelt between them, deeply inhaling his thick vulpine musk. His scent was a lot heavier than mine, so whenever we were intimate with each other his scent always seemed to mask over mine.

Thomas slowly began stroking my ears as I nuzzled his sheath, licking everything from his furry sac up to the tip of his shaft. I savored every taste and scent emanating from the musky organ. He whimpered softly as I continued to lick his shaft from the slowly forming knot at the base, to the sensitive tip. He slowly started thrusting in time with my licks until I parted my lips and accepted his length. His paws were stroking my ears faster as I slid my muzzle down to rest at the base of his shaft, skillfully using my tongue to apply pressure to his sensitive spots. His penis was a completely different shape from my own. His was cone shaped; thin at the tip but thickened as you drew closer to the base, whereas mine was more cylindrical. I had to squeeze his thigh to remind him to stop thrusting because my muzzle wasn't long enough to take him without me gagging.

I started to bob my head, slickening his shaft with my saliva. Every so often I would stop at the sensitive tip and apply pressure to make him moan before descending his length again. His scent was coming off a lot stronger now; his deep vulpine musk was swimming in my head, further influencing my advances. His moans became more frantic and his legs were trembling as he tried to restrain from thrusting up into my muzzle. His knot was fully formed now and his pants let me know that he wasn't too far away from reaching his climax.

I bobbed my head faster. Slurping noises filled the room as I drove my fox closer to his euphoric orgasm. He could no longer hold himself so he started thrusting up lightly in time with my bobbing. Right before his climax came, I stopped at the tip again and looked up at him. His head was thrown back and the expression on his face was one of pure ecstasy. I smiled inwardly. I'm happy that I can do this for him, I enjoy being able to take him through his different stages of his arousal before ultimately making him climax.

He looked down at me with his soft blue eyes and an expression that asked: 'why'd you stop?' I grasped his hips on both sides and pulled up, letting him know that I wanted him to finish himself. He took the hint and starting thrusting slowly while I stayed stationary. I applied pressure at the tip and eased up when he pushed in. His pants and growls returned almost instantly as he began thrusting faster until he finally thrust up hard into my muzzle. He growled loudly as his warm seed coated my tongue and the back of my throat. His length pulsated against my tongue with each wave of his climax until he slunk back on the seat, panting loudly. I savored the taste of the warm and slightly salty fluid in my muzzle before swallowing. I could remember the first time having Thomas finish in my muzzle. I hadn't really liked the taste then, but I have grown to really like it over time.

I leaned forward and sniffed his groin again. Slowly licking his furry sac and up his sheath to the glistening tip of his sensitive length. His scent was stronger than ever now. I stood and stretched, accidentally poking his cold nose with the tip of my penis in the process. He just laughed.

I was both longer and thicker than Thomas by comparison but, quite frankly, neither of us were comparing. He leaned forward to lick my length, but I pulled away at the last minute, teasingly. He looked up at me with a pout and I leaned forward again, this time letting him lick me from my tip down to my sheath while he got himself situated. We never managed to make me come throughout the entire time that we've been together, but Thomas enjoyed trying.

He pulled his pants up and fastened his belt while he continued to work me over with his muzzle. Even though I was trying hard to restrain it, low moans and squeaks rolled off my tongue as his muzzle slowly enveloped my engorged member. I tried to support myself by pushing against the stall door with my paw, but I could barely keep myself standing when Thomas started to bob his head. Noticing this, he reached both paws around me and grasped my rump, supporting my weight and pulling me into his muzzle at the same time.

This time, I reached down and caressed his ears. But it seemed as though he stopped just as soon as he started.

"You're such a tease." I said in between pants. He smiled up at me and licked his lips.

"Yeah, that's why I stopped. I knew you weren't going to get much closer and I figured that the longer we stay in here, the more likely it is that we're going to get caught."

I tried to look disappointed but I knew that he was right. Grudgingly, I turned around and bent down to pick up my pants. Suddenly, I felt something cold poke at the base of my tail and I jumped with a loud squeak. Thomas laughed behind me and patted my rump. I turned around angrily and blushed.

"It's not funny!" I argued as we left the restroom. Thomas was still laughing but I just felt that he caught me off guard. "Well if your rump weren't so cute, then I wouldn't have been tempted."He stuck his tongue out at me and wrapped his arm around my waist. Tail slowly wagging behind us as we entered the food court.

"You're getting very good at that. Who'd have thought that being chased by wolves would turn you on so much." He stopped in front of one of the Chinese food vendors and glanced at the menu. The badger behind the counter didn't seem to have heard his comment.

"How can I help you?" The badger asked. "Oh, we're just looking." Thomas replied before walking away.

"The wolves are a phobia but I guess you can call the chase a kink." I shrugged and Thomas smiled. "So if I were to... let's say... chase you, would it have the same effect?"

"Sweetie, if you chased me then you could probably get me to do a lot more than give you a blow job in a public restroom."

We stopped in the middle of the food court and looked around. It didn't take long for us to spot our dads sitting at a table in front of the subterranean sandwich vendor. Thankfully the combined smell of the foods masked our scents well enough that Thomas' dad wasn't able to smell us when we sat down at the table.

"Did you boys enjoy your day?" My dad asked. He was eating a large baked pretzel on a stick, dipped in fondue. "Yeah it was very... interesting." I responded.

"Where's Bartholomew and Justin?"

" Barry," I corrected him, "didn't really say where they were going. They just said that they'd be back."

"And how long ago was that?" Thomas' dad asked. He was eating a turkey sub with a side of waffle fries.

"Umm, around an hour and a half ago I think. Thomas, have you gotten any messages from him?" Thomas just shook his head. "Neither have I." I slumped back in my chair and looked up through the sky light. The sun was still high in the sky, we still had quite some time until the party later this evening.

Thomas was tapping the table with his claws. Suddenly, his phone started ringing and he just said "it's Barry" before he got up and walked away to answer it. Almost as soon as he had left, his dad asked me; "So, how was the chase?" The surprised look on my muzzle made both him and my dad laugh. I didn't think they'd have known about it, surely the security guards didn't find them and tell them. They'd have no way of even knowing that we were related since I don't look anything like my dad.

" H-how did you find out about that?" I asked.

"Silly, you ran right past us on our way to the food court. When we saw the wolves chasing you, we almost died laughing." They were both grinning at me. I think they were more amused at the embarrassment I was feeling more than the actual event.

"That's not funny, I was scared."

"Your face looked so adorable. Apparently Thomas thought so too, the way he followed you into the restroom like that. " His dad winked at me and my blush grew deeper.

"Oh leave him alone Darrin." He said as he licked his fingers. He had just finished his pretzel and was getting up to throw his tray away. "We were the same way when we were their age."

"Yep, only difference is that we didn't have anyone to tease us about it. Luckily for Kota, I'll always be here to tease him." He had just finished his sandwich as well. Just as he stood to throw his tray away, Thomas returned to his seat.

"What?" He saw the growing blush on my muzzle. It wasn't too hard to tell if I was blushing because my fur was a light gray color with a white streak from going from the bottom of my muzzle to below my waistline. The red could easily be seen through my light fur. My dad's fur was tan, just like Thomas' paws and ears. He had green eyes whereas my eyes were purple. He always told me that my fur didn't resemble anyone on his side of the family, so it must've come from my mother's side.

I shook my head and he stared at me for a second out of curiosity. "Barry said that he and Justin went home to change for the party tonight. He said that they got tired of waiting and that they'd just meet us there."

"I'm surprised that they were even invited. I mean, they know that Matt doesn't like Justin right?"

"Well... not really. Matthew isn't really as upfront with Justin as you are. You could learn a thing or two from him actually." He smiled at me innocently.

"Yeah, like how to hide the fact that I'm a tail raiser from my parents? I have no idea how he does that. It's just so obvious."

"Well you like him." Thomas added.

"I like a lot canines, though I only love one."

"Mmm, whatever helps my bunny sleep at night." He nuzzled my cheek just as our parents were returning.

"Aww that's so cute," Thomas' dad said. "are you two ready to go?"

As we were driving away from the mall, I noticed that there were more cars now than there was when we arrived. I also noticed that neither of our parents had bags.

"What exactly did you guys do all day?" I asked.

"Oh not much, just a little window shopping. I found the sexiest pair of underwear that I've ever seen, but Darrin talked me out of buying them." My dad said.

"I really... didn't need to hear that." I said, but Thomas' ears flicked with interest.

"Kota, you're father has the gayest taste in underwear. He made me wear a choker last time we had sex." He smiled at me from the rear view mirror.

"I really don't need to hear this! What does a choker have to do with underwear?" I folded my ears in feigned disgust, Thomas just laughed.

Thomas draped his tail across my lap for me to stroke as the car grew silent. Although we knew the ride wouldn't last long, the few moments of silence that we shared were like a breath of fresh air from the events in the mall.

We lived on an island of which the mall was named after. The island was the size of a small state population wise, but it was large in the sense that I've never seen all of it. Since it is usually warm here all year 'round, we tend to see a lot of tourists in the later months when the northern lands experienced winter.

Compared to other tourist resorts, Fair View is surprisingly inexpensive by comparison. Yeah, it's a nice distance from the mainland but aside from the travel costs, everything else is fairly cheap. Matthew's parents own the finest hotels on the island and they usually keep their prices cheap so more people can afford to vacation here more often.

All in all, the process works and it provides them with a steady income from year round vacationers rather than those who can only afford to vacation during the winter. They have a hotel located on each coast of the island, and their hotels completely shadow over others in that area. The New Year's party, however, is being held at Rushford Hotel on the western coast of the island simply because it has the best view of the sunset. There really isn't any type of dominance in the coasts between species, everything is just spread out and well mixed.

When we arrived at the beachside hotel, the boardwalk and beach were littered with tourists of all ages. The souvenir shops were filled, the restaurants were overcrowded, and it seemed as though the amusement park at the end of the pier was quickly filling up quickly as well.

We parked on the side of the hotel in front of the small barrier that led to the main street. Across from which was the boardwalk which overlooked the beach. Palm trees were aligned alongside the street, and they casted long shadows that seemed to intertwine as the road led on.

Our parent's spotted Matt's parents at the beach, so we exchanged courtesies and went our separate ways again. Thomas and I were planning to spend time at the amusement park while we waited for the party to start.

'I'm running out of things to tell Thomas.' I thought as we traversed the boardwalk, dodging island natives as well as vacationers along the way.

'I can't keep saying no... I don't even know what I'm waiting for anymore...' Thomas noticed my silence and chose not to say anything. He stayed close by as we finally made it to the amusement park.

"Sky Island," Thomas read the name aloud to snap me out of my trance. "what does my bunny want to do first?"

"I think I'll let you decide that. It's your Birthday after all." He didn't seem too enthusiastic about my decision but he managed to keep his blissful demeanor. "Hmm...," he hummed as we showed the ticket voucher our residential passes. A residential pass is pretty much just a photo I.D card with the word "Resident of Fairview" printed on the bottom of it. The residential pass allows us to go to different places throughout the island for free whereas the vacationers are required to pay entrance fees. Our passes work at restaurants, concerts, air shows, amusement parks, and a few other things that Thomas and I never go to.

"We haven't been to La casa de acústica in while." Thomas chimed as we entered the park. La casa de acústica is loosely translated into English as 'The house of Acoustics", which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. There are 3 la casa de acústica's located on the island. One on the west coast, one on the east coast, and the final one is located in the center. The final house happens to be the biggest and it's where we hold most of our bigger concerts. The smaller ones are for small concerts and annual talent shows.

People have stopped going to these places during their free time because of recent renovations that makes your voice echo through the entire amusement park when you sing. Since a lot of people tend to be "in the shower" singers, most don't want their voices to be heard. I wouldn't label myself as a shower singer; I just don't like to sing for other, more personal, reasons. Thomas, on the other paw, just enjoys singing.

As we made our way to the back of the park, I noticed that the wind was beginning to pick up. This could only mean that people would start leaving the park soon to go parasailing or surfing. The beach is large enough to accommodate everyone and with surfing instructors ubiquitous throughout the west coast, we tend to see a lot of new surfers during the holidays.

We passed a number of rides and attractions on our way to the casa. Food vendors, small eateries, and a lot of souvenir shops looked to be thriving with business. I was beginning to notice how hungry I actually was when we passed the funnel cake stand near the entrance to our destination. I told Thomas that I wanted to stop there afterwards and he just nodded his head.

Upon arriving, we had to show the lynx at the door our residential passes and he waved us through. He looked extremely bored. I guess not too many people were using the casa today, if any.

The casa itself was shaped like a coliseum with the seats gradually getting higher the further they went back. The ceiling was closed off but you could easily tell where everything was from the light shining in through the entrance. A stage was located in the center of the room at ground level. On the stage was a microphone, which really wasn't needed, a few instruments and speakers. The instruments included an electric keyboard, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, and a Drum set. The casa itself was rigged with wires that were transmitted to speakers throughout the entire park so everyone could hear your voice.

There used to be an allotted time that you were permitted to stay in here, but since not too many people actually use it anymore, we were allowed to stay as long as we wanted. As soon as Thomas made it to the stage, the lynx turned on the power from the outside and shut the door. It always felt weird being in here alone, just a big open room that allowed for a lot less privacy than you'd imagine. Everything that you say in here is broadcasted out, so it is like owning your own talk show.

I walked to the first row of seats and sat down as Thomas turned on the microphone. "Hello? Is this thing on?" Thomas said lowly, and his voice echoed throughout the room. The acoustics were really strong here.

Before he could say anything else, the lynx reopened the door and yelled inside, "Yes, it's on. We all can here you." before he closed the door again.

"Err, okay thanks." Thomas said. He seemed really nervous. "Well, my name is Thomas Brand and today I'm going to be singing a duet with a good friend of mine."

My ears shot up when I heard 'duet', and I signaled for him to turn off the microphone.

"I never agreed to a duet!"

"I know, but I really like your voice."

"Then I would be happy to sing for you, I don't want everyone to hear me." I was feeling more embarrassed than angry. I couldn't believe that he tricked me into singing a duet with him.

"Aww c'mon. We're the only two in here, just pretend that you're singing to me." It was obvious to the both of us where this conversation was leading and who was winning it. We both know that Thomas can pretty much talk me into doing anything he wanted to if he pouted, and he wanted me to sing with him, so I didn't put up a fight. Besides, he already announced it to everyone in the park.

I grudgingly walked up to the stage with my ears hung low in defeat. He smiled and kissed me but I made no attempt to kiss back or to pull away. He didn't seem taken aback by this though, he again kept his blissful demeanor and turned the microphone back on.

"Introduce yourself Kota." He said.

I glared at him for a second, and spoke into the mic.

"Hello my name is Kota Baxter and I guess... I'm going to be singing a duet against my will... help me!" I whispered the last part and Thomas laughed. For some reason, hearing him laugh raised my spirits somewhat.

"What song do you guys want?" The lynx called from the door. I honestly didn't hear the door open this time so I had no idea how long it he'd been watching.

"A whole new world." Thomas called back, and my spirits dropped again because I knew that he was going to take the lead.

"Do you mean that Disney song?" The lynx asked.

"Yep, that's the one!"

The lynx closed the door and typed something into his monitor. 'I don't like you anymore', I whispered to him. He just kissed me again before whispering "I love you too."

Before long, the music started up and Thomas took my hand and started rocking from side to side, his tail quickly swishing behind him.

"I can show you the world...shining, shimmering, splendid," He placed the microphone stand between us and turned to face me as he sang. His crystal blue eyes looked into my lavender eyes deeply and he smiled.

_ "Tell me princess now when did, you last let your heart decide?"_ His grip around my paw grew tighter. His beautiful tenor voice echoed throughout the room. It blended perfectly with the instrumental music emanating from the speakers and it almost made me forget about where we were... almost.

_ "I can open your eyes...take you wonder by wonder. Over, sideways, and under, on a magic carpet ride! A whole new world,"_ His smile was a lot wider now as he held out the note.

"A new fantastic point of view... No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming."

_ "A whole new world... A dazzling place I never knew."_ I quickly picked up where he left off. Although my speaking voice was only just a few tones deeper than his, my singing voice was in the range of that of an alto. That's why I never liked singing; I used to get teased for sounding like a female.

_ "But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you."_

_ "Now I'm in a whole new world with you!"_ The door opened again without our knowing, and a small crowd appeared outside to see if it were us actually singing. I kept my attention focused on Thomas and due to the heavy acoustics in the room; we weren't able to pick up any other voices besides our own.

"Unbelievable sights... Indescribable feeling... Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling through an endless diamond sky! A whole new world,"

"Don't you dare close your eyes." Thomas touched my face with his free paw, and grinned.

"A hundred thousand things to see." I sang.

"Hold your breath it gets better," His singing was getting me aroused again, and I was sure he was able to smell it.

"I'm like a shooting a star, I've come so far, I can't go back to where I used to be."

_"A whole new world!" _ He giggled at his coming in a little late. I was starting to get confused on my parts as well. We hadn't sang this song in so long that I was really forgetting which lines were his and which were mine.

"Every turn a surprise." I was beginning to laugh as well

"With new horizons to pursue"

_"Every moment red-letter"_The song had trailed off due to our laughing too much. We didn't notice the song ended until we heard the crowd in the stands clapping and howling. Thomas and we looked at each other before standing up and bowing for the crowd, still giggling. I honestly didn't really remember falling to the ground in the first place.

While a few left when the song ended, a lot stayed behind and chatted. A few couples stood in line to sing a song of their own.

Thomas and I hurried off the stage and let the next couple on, mostly because I really didn't want to sing an encore. Our paws were still intertwined when we were approached by a mare halfway to the exit.

"You sounded fantastic! I've seen you two sing with my own eyes and I still don't believe it." She spoke with great diction. She wore short denim shorts to show off her rear and a tank top. Judging from her slender frame and perky breasts, she worked out often too.

"Thank you," Thomas and I said in unison. "we're glad you enjoyed it." Thomas added

"Where are you off to now?" She asked.

We looked around and noticed a few more people trying get our attention. Thomas waved but I pretended not to notice them. "Just going to grab a snack, Kota is hungry."

"Mind if I join you? I've a few questions I'd like to ask... well not a few, just one." She looked at me and I knew she was going to ask the question that I've been trying to avoid.

"We don't mind the company, but you'd probably feel like a third wheel." I said

She laughed, "You're right. In hindsight, it was a stupid question wasn't it?"

"It's fine," Thomas said. "we just don't want you to feel uncomfortable. What was your question? I'm sure we can answer it before we go."

"Are you going to sing at the talent show in a few weeks?"

Honestly, I expected her to ask me how I made my voice sound like a females. I'm glad she didn't however, I hate it when people ask that. "I'd love to, but we can't." Thomas said.

"But you sound so beautiful; I think you'd have a real shot at winning."

"Kota doesn't do so well under pressure."

"... Wait what? I do perfectly fine under pressure!" I looked at Thomas and the mare looked at me.

"Oh does he have stage fright?"

"No, he has a heart condition." He looked back at her and she gasped.

"I am so sorry... is it serious?" She spoke low out of embarrassment.

"There isn't anything wrong with my heart, it's...it's complicated." I looked at Thomas furiously for telling a complete stranger about my complications. Not only that, but he also got the complication wrong.

A weasel on stage began singing, accompanied by his girlfriend on the drums. His voice echoed throughout the amphitheatre like building and made it harder to hold any type of conversation.

"Well, It was nice meeting you Ms...," Thomas paused to get her name.

"Conally," She yelled. "Sarah Conally."

"It was nice meeting you Sarah, we're going to leave before this place fills up." More people were beginning to enter the building. Most were sitting in the crowd while a few got in line to go on stage.

"Okay, it was great meeting you! And Kota, I hope you feel better." She turned and waved before disappearing into the crowd.

As Thomas and I walked further away from the building, an eerie silence hung between us. I was furious with him. I didn't even want to stop and get a funnel cake like we had planned earlier, but my loss of appetite didn't stop him from getting one.

"Want some?" He asked after taking his first bite. He had powdered sugar in the fur around his muzzle and he tried to lick it off as we walked.

"Kota, are you okay?" He waved his funnel cake under my nose. I gently pushed his paw away and his tail stopped wagging.

"Is it because I bit it before I offered? I'm sorry..." He stopped walking and I turned around to look at him. His ears had lowered just as much as his tail did, and he looked genuinely hurt. I then realized that he didn't realize what he had done wrong, not that we ever do. The pitiful puppy looks that he gives me are the reasons why I can never stay mad at him. The anger that I had previously felt was quickly being replaced with a mixture of shame and pity.

"Thomas," I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "whenever someone asks us to do something fun like parasailing, roller coasters, surfing, or whatever... why do you always tell them we can't because I have a heart problem?" I managed to keep my voice low as to keep people from over hearing. Thomas walked over to the side of the path and sat on a bench before motioning for me to sit with him.

"Is this about what I said to the mare?" His ears were still folded, and he tried to lick the powdered sugar out of his fur while he talked.

"It was more of an 'in general' question but Sarah made me think about it. I don't know where you got a heart problem from, my heart is perfectly fine."

"Well my dad kept me in the dark about all of the details. I only assumed it was a heart problem." He started licking his fingers as he looked around. "If that isn't it...what's wrong?"

"He didn't tell you because I asked him not to; I don't want you to worry." I sat back and looked up at the sky. We had spent more time in the acoustic house than I thought. Clouds were beginning to form in the sky and it looked like we would either be getting rain later tonight, or early tomorrow.

"You not being able to breathe when you get too excited is reason enough for me to be worried. How am I supposed to protect you if I don't know what to protect you from? We used to go on chases every weekend but ever since six months ago..." His voice trailed off and he looked at the ground sullenly. "What am I supposed to say?"

"Just nod and smile sweetie." He smiled.

"No, not to you... what do I say to everyone else?" He looked me in the eyes as if searching them would give him an answer.

"I don't know, just lie, make something up, or, just say no." I spotted a large amount of sugar on his cheek and stared at it for a second before licking my thumb and wiping it off.

"Does it really bother you that much?"

"Honestly,... the things you say to people don't bother me." I sat back again and closed my eyes, enjoying the smells in the air and the coolness of the wind against my fur. "It's complicated."

"That's your answer for everything, why can't you just tell me?" He sat back as well. He turned to one side and supported his head with his arm against the back of the bench. His question was followed by an awkward pause that carried on until he broke the silence. "Kota?" He placed his paw atop mine and leaned in closer.

"Hm?" I opened an eye to look at him, then, opened the other one as well when I saw how close he was.

"Please... I want to know what I'm doing wrong." He leaned in closer to nuzzle my cheek.

"You're not doing anything wrong...it's me okay? It's always me." I tried to pull away but his grasp on my paw tightened. He didn't say anything so I continued. "I feel like I'm holding you back from enjoying yourself. Whenever we're asked to do something fun you always say no because you're worried about me, I don't want you to worry about me, it makes me feel awful. That and... it constantly reminds me that I have limitations..." I tried to turn away to hide the tears quickly forming in my eyes but he turned me back around to face him.

"Is that why you won't have sex with me?" His voice was almost a whisper now. I would've missed it if it weren't for bunny's having such sensitive ears.

"No," I wiped my eyes. "I'm just not ready." There it is again. I've used that line so many times that it comes out out of habit.

"Okay... I hope it doesn't take too much longer." He smiled and patted my knee with the paw he had on top of mine before standing and stretching. A few moments passed before I stood up as well, and this time, I took the funnel cake when it was offered.

"What do you want to do now?" He was walking so close that we bumped hips with every inside step.

"You can get on the rides if you want, I'll just wait at the exits for you." I tried eating the funnel cake more cautiously than Thomas had previously... it didn't work out too well. I focused my attention on getting the sugar out of my fur when I finished and let Thomas lead the way. Before long, we made it to our next stop which happened to be the house of mirrors.

We walked past the perky female bobcat at the door whose smile was extremely contagious. She didn't even say anything to us; she just gave us a really big pedo-smile and waved us in. The gesture was too funny to be awkward and we were giggling until we made it all the way to the back.

The mirrors that we passed along the way there misconstrued our bodies in imaginative ways. Some made us too tall, others made us too fat, and I particularly liked the one that gave Thomas an accentuated hourglass shape. He thinks it's because I'm perverted, I just love his sexy hips. I pushed him along when we walked past a mirror that made him look skinnier, and he pushed me along when we walked past a mirror that made me look extremely muscular.

When we reached the middle of the maze that was located at the very back of the attraction, Thomas made sure no one was looking before he pushed against a mirror that opened up into a dark storage room. With the flip of a switch that was located to our right, the lights flickered on with a low buzzing sound and we stepped inside, remembering to close the entrance behind us.

The storage room itself wasn't very big and it held a lot of replacement mirrors in the case that the ones on display were to break. There were a few places to sit but instead, Thomas pushed me against one of the mirrors to our left and pressed his muzzle against mine. He wrapped both of his arms around my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck before I began kissing back.

It wasn't long before I felt his tongue pushing against my muzzle, and I happily parted my lips to accept it. He started rocking us from side to side again like he had on stage, only this time, he wasn't performing for an audience. No, this performance was just for me. There was no rush behind the kiss. It deepened gradually and our arousals gradually grew to match it instead of skyrocketing to full throttle like it had in the mall. These moments of intimacy are a lot more enjoyable than the short bouts of passionate explosions that we have from time to time. I'm not saying that those aren't enjoyable, I enjoy touching my fox whenever I get the chance. Only when we have time to ourselves, however, do I get to feel him instead of touch. I get to listen to his grunts and whimpers instead of simply hearing them. I get to see him as the person that I put all of my trust and all of my faith into, and not just look at the fox whose cock just happens to be in my mouth. When we have short bursts of lust driven sex, we can walk away and laugh about something on a different subject. But when we take our times to enjoy each other, and the act itself... I feel like I really learn the meaning behind the words 'I love you'.

He slowly pulled back and looked me up and down, tongue still lolling from his muzzle.

"That kiss was delicious." I said.

"Yeah, I liked it too." He smiled.

"No, I mean it actually tasted good. You still had some powdered sugar around your muzzle." I licked my lips in embellishment and he grabbed my sheath through my pants, making me jump.

"Mmm, someone seems a little frisky."

"What can I say? I like bunny meat." He gave a toothy grin and pulled me into a hug.

"You are so corny!" I said before hugging back. I've been too busy focusing on him to realize what he'd been rocking to. Someone in the acoustics house was singing "fireflies" and he had picked it up before I did.

He slowly circled around me and wrapped his arms around my waist again, and we continued our rocking, eyes closed. The moment seemed to go on forever and if I had the choice, I would've let it. Feeling the warmth of his body behind me and his muzzle nuzzled into my neck sent me into a state of pure serenity. I didn't even mind him rubbing his crotch under my tail, I was actually enjoying it. I was so caught up in the moment that I didn't notice someone else had entered the room until I felt their muzzle press against mine.

My eyes snapped open, then relaxed when I saw who it was. Thomas on the other hand didn't seem surprised at all, and he started licking at my neck and rubbing against me harder. I let my body relax again when I saw the golden figure in front of me, kissing me. Although he was too close for me to see all of his features, his unmistakable canine scent and long muzzle told me who it was.

He pushed his tongue into my muzzle more forcefully than Thomas had, and again, I accepted it willingly and eagerly. His sheath was as full as Thomas' but I didn't pay much attention to the lump being pressed into my stomach. My paws lingered down his back to rest on his rump and long bushy tail.

"Careful bunny," He pulled back and smiled at me. "don't make this rape turn into a murder." He slowly traced my chest with a claw.

"I don't think it's really considered rape if the victim likes it Matt." I smiled back but Thomas continued with his advancements. "I think this bunny would really like it." I added, and Thomas laughed.

"I could see that you two were having a private moment, so I had to interrupt." Matt said. He was just a little taller than Thomas and myself and he was more muscular from playing sports. When we're alone, he speaks very effeminately with a slight lisp, but when we're with his team or his parent's, his voice deepens and the switch in his walk, that I find sexy, disappears.

"Your intrusions are always welcome Matt." Thomas said. He had stopped his licking and rubbing but he continued to sway even though the music had already stopped.

"Good to know. So did you two... tie the knot yet?" He looked at me, then at Thomas who just shook his head.

"Aww c'mon!" He feigned pouted. "How am I supposed to join in if you two won't mate each other? I mean, you're a fox and he's a bunny... you two should be in bed 24/7! Your balls should have deflated months ago from over usage."

"I know, I know. It's my fault, we're just waiting on me to give the okay." I said.

"No Kota, we're not blaming anything on you. There's no pressure, we'll mate when you're ready." Thomas reassured me, and Matt smiled.

"Now that's the type of commitment that I like to hear! But there's a reason why I followed you in here."

"You mean besides to make out with my boyfriend?" Thomas asked.

"Yeah, besides that. Believe me, I'd love to make out with you too." He winked at Thomas and Thomas blushed.

"I'd... really like to see that." I added. My sheath was already full from the kissing and Thomas' rubbing. Seeing two canines make out would be extremely arousing right now, especially two of my three favorite canines.

"We were going to hold the New Year's Eve party in the penthouse at our hotel, but due to... extraneous circumstances it's being moved to Un Momento. "

"Wait, but that's an adult night club, we have to be 21 to get in." I said.

"And that's the problem." He looked up at the ceiling and sighed. "Maybe we could just go to the Backlands." Matt suggested.

"Well that's up to Thomas." We both looked at him and he shrugged.

"I don't really mind what we do; I've already had my fun."

"Did you get your birthday present yet?" Matt asked, and I glared at him. He didn't seem to notice since he kept his attention on Thomas.

"I've mostly just gotten cards and money from everyone. My mom sent me a new ipod so that's always nice."

"Ipod touch?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, 32 gigs."

"Nice, did Kota give you your present yet?"

"Okay Matt, it was nice seeing you! Have a safe walk back home." I tried to push him back through the entrance but he easily fended me off due to him being stronger.

"Oh so you didn't? What are you waiting for Kota?" I tried pushing him again but he wasn't budging.

"I wasn't even aware that he had even gotten me anything... I asked him not to." He looked at me but I couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or not. Judging from the slow waggging of his tail, I assumed that he wasn't.

"It's not just for you, it's for me too." I tried to reassure him but he folded his arms.

"That's Kotas way of saying that it's a double sided dildo." Matt laughed, and I blushed.

"No it isn't..." I was too embarrassed to put up a better argument. Thankfully, Thomas ignored Matt's statement and continued asking questions.

"How much did it cost?" He asked.

"Why do you want to know?" I responded.

"I want to know how much I have to spend on you for your birthday."

"Do you see what you started Matt?" I turned around to look at him but he had already left. "How does he do that?"

"Don't change the subject Kota." He grabbed my paws and gently pulled me closer to him. He licked my cheek and looked into my eyes before he asked me for the price again.

"I-I really can't tell you." I tried to look away but the deliberate drop in his ears and frown on his muzzle kept my attention. He looks so adorable when he pouts. Just for a second, it felt as though we went back into childhood.

"Please?"

I paused for a moment, desperately searching for something to say. "Is it okay if I told you later? I just want to enjoy the moment."

He looked down at our paws, then, back up at me before finally saying; "Okay."

We stayed in the back room for a little while longer before making our way to the exit. The maze wasn't too hard to figure out since it was built in the shape of a U.

The sun was already setting when we made it outside, so we got on the Ferris wheel to watch it go down. The orange-ish glow danced on the clouds and painted the vast blue ocean. The cool breeze felt wonderful against my fur, and staring out at the sunset with my fox by my side felt like paradise. Looking down, I noticed that the park was starting to fill up again. The beach had been filled with bonfires and barbeques as tourists tried to find good spots to watch the fireworks that were planned to go off later tonight.

After the ferris wheel, we exited the park and made our way to Backlands. It took a little more maneuvering than it had earlier but we made it there safely.

The line to get in was extremely long and there was a sign from the amusement park broadcasting a waiting time of an hour and a half.

"Want to go somewhere else?" Thomas asked.

"Umm sure. How does Dominick's sound?"

Just as we started walking away, I felt a paw on my shoulder. I turned to face a beaming retriever in a purple Backlands vest. There was an insignia of an orange dragon on the right chest pocket which was the Backland logo.

"Purple definitely is not your color sweetie." Thomas giggled. And of course, he was right.

"That's what I said to my parents... I didn't really have a choice." He gave a quick twirl to show us his back.

"Well you look nice... A little gay, but still nice." I humored him.

"Thanks Kota, that means a lot coming from you." He rolled his eyes. "Where were you two going?"

"We weren't too sure on that. This line is too long and we didn't feel like waiting." Thomas said.

"My parent's reserved a booth for four for you guys. They wanted to make up for it by paying for your dinners. If you'd follow me, I'll lead you to your seats." I winced when he said "A booth for four". I'd much rather have a private dinner with Thomas than to share it with that skunk.

"I know what you're thinking Kota. Please, just try to enjoy yourself." Matt said as we entered the building, much to the dismay of everyone who had been waiting.

We approached the front desk and got out our residential passes, but Matt just waved them off and told the mouse behind the counter that we had reservations. She looked at us briefly, then at her monitor, before smiling and handing us our menus.

"Someone doesn't seem to be too enthusiastic about their job." I joked as we entered the main area.

The main area was pretty much just a big room filled with arcade games. In order to play the games, you simply had to swipe a card and a certain amount would be subtracted from you total. In the basement was an extremely spacious laser tag arena. Thomas and I had only been there a few times but we had a lot of fun when we did.

The restaurant was upstairs. Since we received our menus at the front desk I assumed that we were only made dinner reservations. Which is fine, I didn't really feel like playing any games anyway.

"Matt, give your parents our gratitude when you see them. We really appreciate it." Thomas said as we were walking up the stairs.

"Yeah, Matt. Thank you very much for this." I patted his rump after making sure that no one was looking.

"No problem, I'm happy to help you," He turned around and winked at us. "in any way that I can."

"I'll be sure to hold you to that." Thomas said.

When we reached the top of the stairs, Matt led us to an empty table located near a window overlooking the beach. The sun was completely gone now and loud heavy metal music could be heard even through the closed windows. From the looks of it, people were already beginning to get drunk down there.

Just then, Barry approached the table with Justin stumbling at his side. From the looks of it, Justin had gotten drunk as well.

"Ahh there you are," Matt said. "having fun down there?"

"Mm-hm," They said in unison. "we saw you leading them up here so we thought we'd come up as well." Barry added.

Barry was a good five inches taller than me and heavier built. He wasn't chubby, however, he was actually very fit for a bear. His dark brown fur matched his brown eyes and his heavy baritone voice could easily be distinguished over a crowd.

"And I saw Kota patting you on the rump Matt. Just can't keep your paws to yourself can you bunny?" Justin said.

Justin was a little shorter than Thomas and I. He was slim and his black fur always seemed to glow. His green eyes complimented the white in his muzzle and on his back. Aside from his cocky attitude, Justin was really a very attractive skunk. I can't take sitting at a table with him for more than an hour, I have no idea how Barry sleeps with him.

"Now that we're all here, can I start you guys off with any drinks?" Thankfully Matt jumped in before I got the chance to respond to Justin. His effeminate voice was gone and was replaced by a more masculine one.

"Sweet tea please." Barry said.

Justin ordered the same as Barry.

"Can I have a Vanilla Frappuccino?" Thomas asked me.

I knew that the question wasn't whether he could have one or not. The question was whether I'd kiss him afterwards because he knows that I'm not a big coffee fan.

"You can have whatever you want sweetie." I said, and he smiled at me.

"Almost anything." Justin retorted. I chose to ignore him.

"Okay," Matt wrote down the three beverages on a piece of paper that he pulled from his pocket. "and what would you like Kota?"

"May I have a strawberry banana smoothie please?" I asked.

"Sure thing!" He scribbled on his paper and put it back in his pocket. "I'll be right back with your drinks. In the meantime, figure out what you'd like to eat and I'll take your orders when I get back as well, okay?"

"Sounds great, thanks Matt." Barry said. Matt smiled and walked away.

"So," Thomas turned to look at Barry. "what were you two up to all day?"

"Nothing much. We just went home and hung out for the most part." Barry said. Thomas looked at Justin but he seemed to be preoccupied with his menu.

"Why'd you just up and leave us at the mall today?" I asked Barry. I didn't look up from my menu so he looked down at his.

"I wanted to go home and try something with Justin." Barry said.

"Why are you being so nosy?" Justin asked me.

"Not being nosy, just curious." Justin seemed unusually short tempered tonight. I'd been trying to keep calm since he got here but his attitude was really beginning to work my nerves.

Before I could ask another question, Barry slipped his paw under the table and slid a folded piece of paper into mine. He looked up at me and winked before glancing back down at his menu.

I waited for a second before nonchalantly hiding the paper in my menu. Slowly, I opened the paper and read the message:

'Kota you were right. I just gave him some sparkling cranberry juice and told him it was wine and he really thought he was getting drunk. He's been acting this way for a few hours now. He's probably going to be even more of an ass towards you tonight but please bare with me, I want to see what I can talk him into doing when he believes he's intoxicated. Thanks for the good idea!'

If it weren't for Barry's small handwriting, all of that would've never fit on this paper.

"Thomas, doesn't that look delicious?" Thomas, who had previously been oblivious to what had been going on, looked over at my menu and read the note. He looked across to Barry, then over at me before rolling his eyes. "Yeah, it looks breath taking."

Before long, Matt returned with our drinks and asked if we were ready to order.

"Yeah we're ready to order." Barry said. "Can I have the chicken parmesan?"

Matt wrote it down and looked to Justin. "How about you?"

"Hmm... I think I'll have the garden fresh salad with sautéed mushrooms." Justin Said. Neither Justin nor myself could eat meat. Well we could eat it, but it wouldn't digest properly.

"I'll have the chicken alfredo if you don't mind." Thomas said.

"Okay, and I take it you want the fettuccini alfredo, Kota?"

"Yes please, that sounds wonderful." We handed him our menus and he walked away happily with a bounce in his step.

"Wow Kota, do you ever order anything different? How about you broaden your horizons a little?" Justin said.

"I did order something new; I never got a smoothie before." I lapped at it and savored the strong taste of strawberry.

"So what did you two do all day?" Barry asked. He changed the subject to postpone the inevitable argument. I've been trying to watch my words and had been successful thus far.

"After you guys left," Thomas slid his seat closer to mine and draped his tail across my lap. His tail turns me on most of the time, but at times like these, it acts as a stress ball. "we went on chase-"

"-Gateway?" Barry cut him off.

"Yeah," Thomas said. "I had no idea that they hired new security personnel."

Justin snickered. "Do you mean the two wolves? How did that turn out?" Both Justin and Barry looked directly at me.

"They both followed me when we split up. I managed to outrun them but it scared me half to death. I don't think we can have chases at Fairview mall anymore."

"You mean you can't have chases. I can't believe you went without me." He sat back in his chair with a pout. "What else did you two do without me?"

I could tell that he was trying to move the conversation to a more sexual topic. So I gave him a more literal answer instead of taking the bait.

"We went to Sky Island."I lapped at my smoothie again. He didn't seem to be satisfied with that answer so I kept it going. "Mostly we just hung out. We didn't get on any rides; we just enjoyed each other's company."

"Hmm, sounds like fun." He said dryly. "Well we went home and had a party of our own." He smiled up a Barry and he smiled back.

"Yeah, I gave him some wine and he's been acting clingy all day." Barry said.

"Sorry baby, I get horny when I'm drunk." Justin said, louder than I expected.

I looked around to see if anyone had heard him. No one's ears were pointed in our direction so I assumed that no one was listening. Up until now, I hadn't noticed how full the restaurant section was. The arcade area downstairs wasn't nearly as crowded as it is up here. The people waiting in line outside probably only had a dinner reservation here as well.

The Backlands is named after its founder, Johnny Backland. Although the arcade and restaurant are in the same building, they could be reserved separately. I guess everyone just wanted to eat and leave to see the fireworks.

"You're always horny Justin." Thomas said.

"Damn straight!" Justin said. "And Barry takes care of it." He nuzzled Barry's cheek. "Does Kota take care of you Thomas?"

"I do believe that that's none of your business kind sir." I said sarcastically.

"Umm excuse me; I believe I was talking to the fox." He snapped. His voice was gradually getting louder and, now, people were starting to look.

"Hey, hey... calm down." Matt was standing beside the table with our food balanced on a tray on his left arm. "Kota, just be quiet."

"But I didn't do anything!" I said.

"Yeah Kota, shut it" Justin sneered.

"You too Justin." He glared at Justin and the skunk immediately settled down. He looked down at his place mat but his ears were still raised triumphantly.

Matt placed the plates in front of us and handed Thomas two Backland cards. The cards were used to play the games downstairs. "These are for you two. I gave Justin and Barry theirs but I forgot to give you yours, I apologize."

"Thank you Matt," Thomas and I said in unison. "we're probably going to save it for next time. We don't really feel like playing any games tonight." Thomas said.

"Okay sounds good. Is there anything else I can get for you?" Matt asked.

"Nah we're good," Barry said. "you've already done enough."

"I'm just here to serve you guys. I had to beg my parent's to talk the manager into letting me work here for the night." He turned to walk away. "I'll be checking in periodically to see if you guys need anything. Enjoy!" Before he could get the words out, Barry and Thomas had started on their food. Justin was watching them just as closely as I was and when we caught each other's eye, he just shrugged. Maybe it's a carnivore thing.

The people around us stopped looking and returned their attentions to their own tables. Our table remained quiet for the most part. The only sounds that could be heard were the 'clinging' of forks against the glass plates.

There was no main theme behind the restaurant. The pictures on the walls ranged from famous musicians like Alvin & the Chipmunks and Owl City, to sports teams. Flat screen TV's were located in each corner and they were all tuned to different channels.

I looked at the clock on the wall behind Justin and Barry and noted the time.

'9:48' I thought as I took another bite of my fettuccini. The alfredo sauce was extremely creamy and it was obvious that it was home made. You could never this type of taste with the store bought kind.

Halfway through the meal, Justin sat his fork down and leaned forward. "So," Thomas and I looked at him. "are you two mated yet?"

"Here we go." Barry said as he lapped at his sweet tea. "Do we really have to talk about this tonight? I'd like to have a regular dinner for once."

"It's simple question. I'm just trying to make small talk." Justin reassured him.

"Can we talk about something else then?" I asked. I turned my attention back to my plate and found Thomas' fork in it. I looked at him and he smiled. "I just wanted to taste it." He said.

"So I'll take that as a no." Justin sighed. "Seriously, what's the problem?"

'For him to supposedly be drunk, his speech sure hasn't changed' I thought.

"I'd much prefer not to talk about it. It'll happen when it happens okay?" I tried to end the conversation but he kept persisting.

"Well it's taking a little too long to happen." He said.

"And who are you to decide that?" I asked.

"I'm a concerned friend." I wanted to disagree with him so badly that I could taste it. I managed to keep the words in and he took my silence as a hint to keep going.

"You're a bunny and he's a fox. Your species' combined makes up a large percentage of the porn in the world. You two should've been mated months ago! There's nothing worse than a bunny that won't put out for his mate... I mean, what else are you good for?"

Everyone at the table was speechless. We all stared at him, mouths and eyes agape. I was too surprised to feel hurt or offended, but his comments tipped my anger well over the point of self control.

"What the hell is your problem?" Barry asked.

"Who the hell do you think you are to ask me what I'm good for?" I stood up and shouted in a fit of rage. "What we do in our free time is none of your concern. When I say 'it'll happen when it happens" I means it's none of your damn business!"

"Kota please sit down, you're drawing un-needed attention." Thomas pulled tried to pull me down but I pulled my paw away.

"It is my business when you're constantly throwing it in our faces!" Justin stood up and yelled just as loud as I did.

"...Seriously...what is your deal? No one said anything to your uppity ass."

"You don't have to say it when I can see it. You act so high and mighty with your boyfriend when you're just trying to hide your insecurities. Do you really think buying him a three hundred dollar collar would make him love you more?"

"You did what?!?" Thomas shouted.

Everyone's attention was directed towards us now. My paws clenched into fists and it took everything in me to keep myself from jumping across the table and shutting the skunk up. Then I realized that Justin was just saying things to get my blood boiling. I think that he knew that he wasn't drunk but he was using it as a cover to get away with saying what he really felt.

I didn't want to say anything about him being a tail raiser because Barry wasn't out yet. There were a few people in the room that I knew for a face knew his father so I bit my tongue on most of the things that I wanted to say. I looked over at Thomas who now looked just as angry as I did. Justin's main goal was to embarrass me tonight and he did an admirable job of it.

"What's going on up here!" Matt asked when he made it to our table. He looked at me and Justin, then at Barry who was still sitting down in shock.

"Justin had-"

"Nothing happened... In fact, I was just leaving." I pushed past Thomas and Matt and walked across the room, pausing when I got to the stairs. "I'm really sorry about this everyone, please enjoy your meals. And Barry... the power of suggestion is a bitch isn't it?" I turned to walk down the stairs but someone placed a paw on my shoulder and stopped me.

"Good job for walking away Kota. I know how much it must hurt right now." A tall cheetah whispered. I didn't know who him but apparently he knew me.

"Do you work with Barry's dad?" I asked, and he nodded. "Thank you."

Then I descended the stairs and left the building. Thankfully, our street was only a fifteen minute walk from Backlands.

Thomas caught up to me about halfway home.

"I'm sorry Thomas," I calmed down a lot since I entered the cool night air. Walking alone gave me a chance to cool down and think. All of the anger that I felt in the restaurant was replaced with sadness and regret. "I tried to keep things from getting out of hand... I just couldn't."

"I know Kota, it's okay." Thomas reassured me. He held my paw and walked beside me.

"No it's not okay, Thomas. I ruined your birthday dinner...again. This is the 3rd time it's happened."

"Well you handled it better than you did last year." He smiled at me and squoze my paw to encourage me. Needless to say, it didn't work. "I enjoyed the rest of the day..." he added quietly.

For a while we remained quiet. The traffic light lit streets were littered with people of all species. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was stuck on the verge of breaking down.

"What happened after I left?" I asked.

"A tall cheetah pulled us aside and talked to us. He said something about calling Justin' parents. When he left, Barry told Justin that he really wasn't drunk." Thomas said.

"What did Justin say?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

"He just shrugged."

"I thought so."

We turned onto our street and noticed that everyone's lights were out. I guess everyone was out partying.

"You don't have to be with me if you don't want to Thomas. You have both of the Backlands cards, you should go and enjoy yourself, I'll be fine." We stopped in front of his house. I lived directly across the street from him but I spent more time at his house... well, I spent more time in his back yard. He had a pool house behind his house that our parent's turned into a mini apartment. The pool itself went unused for most of the year since we weren't too far away from the beach. With our parents' encouragement, we started staying in the pool house together for most of the week to simulate us living together.

"Nah I'm fine." Thomas said. "Besides, we're already home." He sat down on the front stairs and motioned for me to sit next him. When I sat down, he laid his head on my shoulder and wrapped an arm around my waist. We looked up at the cloudy sky and saw the blue-ish hue of the full moon hidden behind them. Since all of the lights on the street were out, the stars could easily be seen in the night sky.

"Kota... I really wanted to talk tonight, but I understand if you're not feeling up to it." Thomas said after a while. He kept his head on my shoulder and started stroking my side with his arm.

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I wanted to just enjoy the moment but I promised him at the park that I'd talk to him later. "What do you want to talk about sweetie?"

"I don't know... everything I guess."

"That's not really telling me much." I kept my voice low even though I knew no one was listening. I felt talking loud would ruin the moment.

"You never bite your tongue when it comes to Justin, what stopped you tonight?" He started nuzzling my shoulder.

"All of the things that I wanted to say involved the fact that he was a tail raiser, I don't care about exposing him but I couldn't do it to Barry." I know it wasn't a romantic answer... but it was the truth.

"Was what he said true?" Thomas asked. He was still stroking my side. He wasn't really trying to be seductive, he was trying to be comforting but his touch had both effects.

"Which part?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

"The insecurities, the collar... all of it."

"I think so," I paused for a long time before I started speaking again. Thankfully, Thomas waited for me to get my thoughts together instead of just asking me to explain. "I honestly feel that I'm not good enough for you. I'm so reluctant to take the next step because I don't want you to realize that it was a mistake later down the road. I know that there is someone better out there for you and you deserve the best. I'd much rather be miserable alone while you're happy with someone else than be happy with you while you're miserable with me."

I thought about what I said for a second.

"Sorry, but I can't think of a better way to word that. I love you, with all of my heart. I just don't want you to do something that you'll regret..."

Thomas didn't say anything right away, but his tail started thumping against the stairs. He's probably not too happy about what I said, but he seems to be happy that I'm finally opening up to him.

"Honestly, I feel the same way Kota. That's the reason why I want to take the next step so badly. I know that there wouldn't be a chance of you finding someone better if you were mated with me," He paused for a moment before he continued. "wow... I sound extremely selfish."

"It's fine Thomas, you saying that actually makes me feel better."

The clouds were shifted enough for the moon to shine through. The moon was painted with the cerulean blue of its gaze. Thomas' fur seemed to stand out more in its light as well.

"Kota... is us mating even going to be possible? If so then I'll do whatever it takes for me to prove my love for you. I'll wait for you for as long as you're willing to let me. If not, then I'll accept that and continue to be your boyfriend with a smile." He stopped stroking my side and sat up to look me in the eyes. His tail was still wagging but it was going slower than before.

"What happened to you serves as a constant reminder of what happens when I leave you... I want to be with you no matter what you decide."

"Wanting to protect is a lot different from being in love with me, Thomas." I said.

"I know sweetie, but why can I feel both?" He smiled and licked my cheek and, for once, I didn't have an answer. "I know how big mating is for canines, do you really think I'd ask you to do it if I weren't 100% sure? I may have been afraid to love you before the accident, but I'm not afraid to love you now."

"All you need me to do is let you in right?" I asked jokingly.

"I...didn't mean it like that." He looked down at his lap before looking back up. "Will you please be my mate?" His face shone with sincerity, and the glow of the moon intensified his beauty.

After hearing his words, there was no way that I could say no. "Yes, but you have to do a few things for me first. If that's okay of course." I stood up and brushed off the back of my pants before holding my paw out to Thomas.

"Thank you Kota!" He jumped up and pounced on me. I fell to the ground and he straddled my body and licked my face vigorously. His tail was wagging furiously, and his ears were standing at full attention.

We walked around his house to the pool house at the other end of the pool. We opened the door and stepped inside. It was dark and I couldn't see a thing, but Thomas had excellent night vision so he easily found his way to the bedroom while I closed and locked the door behind me.

I tried to feel my way around in the dark, but Thomas came back into the living room and grabbed my paw, leading me into the bedroom. He had already turned on the light so as soon as he opened the door; I saw that he had also taken off his clothes already.

"How did you do that so fast?" I asked.

"A lot of practice," He smiled and tried to kiss me. "what's wrong?" He asked when I blocked his muzzle with my paw.

"You have to do something for my first." I said as I walked over to the bed in the middle of the room against the wall. I sat at the head of the bed beside the lamp, and he sat next to me.

"I didn't know you meant now." Thomas said.

"It'd make me more comfortable." I reached for the phone and dialed Matt's number. He answered on the third ring.

"Hello?" He was still using his masculine voice so it was safe to say that he wasn't alone.

"Hey Matt, its Kota."

"You want to have a three-some with Matt?" Thomas whispered.

"Oh hey sweetie, how are you feeling? It was a wild night tonight wasn't it?" He switched to his feminine voice so I guess he really was alone. I was starting to wonder which voice was his real voice.

"No." I put the phone to my chest so Matt couldn't hear me. "I just wanted to apologize for tonight Matt, I really didn't mean for things to get out of hand like they did."

"Oh believe me Kota, its fine. I honestly wanted you to hit him but I guess one of you had to grow up from last year." He laughed. "What're you up to now?"

"About to go to bed, Justin took all of the party out of me tonight."

Thomas reached down and started stroking his sheath. It didn't take long for his musk to make its way to my nose, and I made it harder to focus.

"Oh okay, I'll talk to you tomorrow then. I'll record the fireworks and show you when we meet for breakfast."

"Okay, sounds like a plan. Thanks for everything Matt, I really owe you." Thomas leaned back and spread his legs as his shaft started to appear. The black tip contrasted nicely against the white sheath.

"Just let me join you after you two are mated okay?" He mused.

"Okay I promise. See you tomorrow Matt." I said.

"C'ya sweetie. Oh, Kota!" He said before I hung up the phone.

"Yeah Matt?"

"Tell Thomas that Matt said to put on a condom." *click*

"How in the world did he know..."

"What's wrong Kota?" Thomas asked as he sat up again. He hadn't managed to get more than just the tip out of its sheath but his musk was a lot stronger now.

"Nothing," I put the phone back on the receiver. "I need you to stand up for a second."

We both stood up and I lifted the mattress to reveal a long black box. I pulled the black box out and laid the mattress back down before sitting down on the bed again.

"Is that the collar?" Thomas sat next to me again and reached for the box.

"Yeah it is," I opened the box to show a leather black collar, beaded with zircon jewels darkened enough to match his eyes. The platinum pendant was in the shape of a tribal fox and his name was written in cursive across the fox's torso.

"Wow... it's really beautiful. Is that my birthstone?" He asked.

"Yeah, those are real zircon beads."

"It's stunning. I-I really don't know what to say..." Thomas stared at the collar for a while before looking up at me.

"Just tell me that you'll accept it, this is a promise collar." I took the collar out of the box and held it in my paw.

"I don't know if I should considering how much it cost you... but if it'll really comfort you then I'll take." We smiled at each other and I placed the collar around his neck. I tightened enough to keep it in place, but not enough to choke him.

"How do I look?" He looked down at it and fingered the pendant.

"You look beautiful Thomas," I smiled. "you always do."

"Thank you Kota," He leaned forward and kissed me. "thank you so much."

I got all the way in bed and rested my head on the pillow. Thomas crawled over me and continued to kiss me. He didn't try to stick his tongue into my muzzle until after he turned off the lights.

"Wait a sec'," I broke the kiss and gently pushed Thomas off of me. I pulled my wallet and my cell phone out of my pockets and set them next to the lamp before getting back into place.

Thomas hummed as he straddled my body again and resumed kissing me. His paws were to either side of my body and my paws were gently stroking the fur on his back. The coffee was still strong on his breath and his sheath was filling out quickly, mine wasn't too far behind. His strong scent filled the room and I could faintly smell mine underneath his. I knew it wouldn't be long until my scent was completely drowned out.

Slowly, he slid his claw down my chest and unbuttoned my shirt. When he reached the bottom he quickly unbuttoned my pants and unzipped the zipper. He didn't follow through and put his hands down my pants; instead, he told me to sit up and lifted my shirts over my head.

I sat back against the head board and he explored my chest with his paws. He carefully used his claws to tickle the sensitive flesh underneath, causing me to moan at his touch.

My paws had found their way down to his hips. One was stroking the length of his tail and the other had cupped his sac. I gently massaged his furry white sac and played with his testicles. I managed to entice a few moans out of him as well. When I tried to grasp his length with my paw, he stopped me.

"Don't worry about me sweetie, I just want to focus on you right now. Can you lie down again for me please?"

I did as I was told and laid back down. He straddled me again and licked my muzzle before descending down my body licking everything from my nipples to my navel. His tongue felt wonderful against my body. I found myself squirming underneath him and I didn't need to look at him to know that he was smiling.

When he reached my pants, he stopped and asked me to lift my legs. I did as instructed and he slid my pants and underwear off in one quick motion. Now we were both naked in this darkened room, I could barely see him but he could see me perfectly.

He spread my legs and slid between them to have his shaft touch mine. We were both completely out of our sheaths now, and Thomas' knot was slowly beginning to swell.

"Are you okay Kota?" Thomas asked.

"I feel wonderful; you're doing a great job." I reassured him, and he leaned in to kiss me again.

He kissed me with more force than before. His hips began thrusting into mine, and he reached a paw down to stroke my shaft. He started off slow and gradually quickened his pace, making me moan into the kiss. Normally, I wouldn't have let him focus so much attention on me but I have to say, I was really enjoying myself letting him enjoy himself.

He broke the kiss and licked my muzzle before descending down my body again. I was already panting from the motions of his paw but he quickly replaced it with his tongue. He licked my shaft from the tip down to my sac before going back up to the tip, I reached down and stroked his ears.

I shuttered at the feel of his tongue. He savored every taste and scent emanating from the musky organ. I whimpered softly as he continued to lick my shaft from the base, to the sensitive tip. I slowly started thrusting in time with his licks until he parted his lips and accepted my length. My paws were stroking his ears faster as he slid his muzzle down to rest at the base of my shaft, skillfully using his tongue to apply pressure to my sensitive spots.

He started to bob his head faster, slickening my shaft with his saliva. Every so often he would stop at the sensitive tip and apply pressure to make me moan before descending my length again. He used one paw to hold my shaft straight up at the base, and he had the other pressed into my stomach.

My head was thrown back in pure ecstasy when he stopped and asked if I was okay.

"Oh yes," I said in between pants. "please don't stop, I'm loving this."

"Are you getting closer?" He licked his lips and nuzzled my groin again. I shook my head and he sighed.

"I'm sorry Thomas, it's not you. You're really doing great." I tried to reassure him but waved my efforts off.

"Thanks, but I don't know what it'll take to get you to come." He sighed and continued nuzzling. "Is it okay if I try something new?" He asked.

"Of course, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, lift your legs again."

I lifted my legs and jumped when I felt his cold nose against my tail hole.

"Tell me when you're ready." He said. Then he started licking under my tail. At first I tensed at the sudden intrusion, but I eased up after a while.

Feeling his tongue under my tail was new and surprisingly very enjoyable. He switched between soft and hard licks periodically and asked me which felt better.

"Soft licks." I said.

He continued his advancements while I pawed off. Thomas took my grunts and whimpers as encouragement to move faster and the faster he moved, the more intense the feelings became. I tensed up again when his tongue pushed past the ring, but he patted my stomach to remind me to calm down. His long tongue pushed as deep as it could before he pulled out and continued licking around under my tail.

I was pawing off as fast as I could while Thomas continued rimming me. Every so often he would push his tongue inside, making me cry out in ecstasy before he pulled back out. His tongue sent euphoric waves throughout my body causing me to curl my toes and dig my claws into the bed sheets with my free paw.

"Oh, I'm ready sweetie" I moaned when he pushed in again. "I want to feel you inside me so bad!"

"Mmm, are you sure?" He asked. I looked down to look at him but all I could see was his eye shine and the white of his smile. I probably would have been terrified at the sight of him if it weren't for me being so turned on.

He got up on his knees and leaned over me again, my legs were still in the air as he positioned his shaft under my tail.

"Wait." I said. "Do you have condom?"

He looked at me bewildered for a moment. "No I don't think so... Oh wait! Matt gave me something, hold on." He ran out into the darkness and came back moments later with something in his paw.

"Sorry Kota, I don't have a condom, but he did give me this." He held out a bottle but it was too dark for me to see what it was.

"I'm sort of blind right now sweetie." I said.

"Oh...right. Matt slipped a bottle of lube into my pocket back in the house of mirrors. I can run back to the restaurant and ask him for a condom if you want. Hopefully he's still there."

"Nah it's fine," I said. "I only asked because Matt asked me to. I really don't want you to use one."

I could see the white of his smile when he climbed back into bed. "Thank you, I didn't really want to use one anyway." I heard the pop of a bottle moments before a light slurping noise.

"Lift your legs up again Kota." Thomas said.

Before I could get them all the way in the air, I felt something cold press against my tail hole. I jumped when it almost pushed its way in.

"No, I don't want you to use your finger. Just put a little at the opening and use your shaft." I said. Thomas nodded and applied a generous amount of lube under my tail. Then he got up on his knees and leaned over me again. With my legs resting on his shoulders, I used my paw to position his slick shaft at my tail hole. "I'm ready."

Thomas paused for a second instead of pushing in. "When we were in front of my house, you said that there was a couple of things that you wanted me to do for you... you only asked me for one. Was there something else?"

It took me a while to think about it. "Yeah, you're right," I said. "but don't worry about it, we don't have to do it this time."

"What was it?" Thomas asked.

"It's not important now. I just want you to mate me." I lifted my hips off the bed to make it easier for him, but he still didn't move an inch.

"Tell me what it was Kota, I already agreed to it."

"Fine, you make things so difficult." I said, Thomas giggled. "I wanted you to let me ride you for our first time."

"Well you can get on my back if you want, I don't know how far I'd be able to take you though. You're not exactly 'light' you know." Thomas said after a moment.

*facepaw* "I really can't believe you just said that," I said. "sit against the head board, I'll show you what I mean."

Thomas did as I instructed and I straddled him. I used my paw to guide his length under my tail again. Then I slid my paw to the base of his shaft to hold it in that position. His knot was almost fully formed, and from the feel of it, he wouldn't last too much longer.

"I think I know where this is going." Thomas said. "But if you're doing this, what do you want me to do?"

"I need you to play with my ears." I said.

"Okay." He said as he started licking. I started shivering almost immediately when I felt his warm tongue tickling the extremely ticklish flesh.

While he did that, I slowly lowered myself down onto his shaft. The tip went in easily but it quickly got harder as I inched my way down. Thomas continued licking my ears to help ease the pain, and he began stroking my sides to try and relax me. With each movement of my hips, I felt a sharp pain surge through my body before turning into a calming warmth.

"Breathe Kota, you're almost there." Thomas whispered softly. His encouragements helped me make the final push before getting all the way down to the knot. We sat there for a while with him inside of me. I could feel every twitch of his length and all of the warmth emanating from it.

He placed his lube covered paw on top of my shaft and began stroking it. "I'm ready whenever you are."

"Okay, I think I'm ready." I lifted my hips a little and slowly lowered myself again. The initial pain was gone for the most part, although it did feel a little awkward having him under my tail for the first time.

I closed my eyes and continued working my hips as he worked my shaft. He started panting as I moved quicker, and after a while the pain completely subsided and was replaced with pure euphoric bliss. I never imagined it feeling this good.

I quickened my pace and so did he. Each thrust felt like a shockwave surging through me, making places that I didn't even know I had feel good. My mind was swimming in the pleasure that Thomas was giving me and I'm sure Thomas was feeling the same thing.

"You feel so good Kota." Thomas said in-between pants. I opened my eyes to look at him but I had difficulty seeing him.

"Hold on sweetie," I said as I got up and walked over to the windows. It felt weird having him slide out of me like that and I missed the warm pressure under my tail as soon as it disappeared. I quickly opened the curtains and pushed the windows open before climbing back into bed.

"Was my scent too strong for you?" Thomas asked.

"No, I just wanted to see you." I said before straddling him again.

"Wait Kota, I want you to lie down."

"Okay." I said as I lay on my back next to him. Thomas rolled over on top of me and pulled the blankets over his waist. I lifted my hips off of the bed and wrapped them around his waist, pulling him closer.

"I'm not going to last much longer Kota." Thomas said before he pushed in. He moved at the pace I set before I stopped but he thrusted harder than I had.

Now that the windows were open, I had no trouble seeing him in the pale blue moonlight. His collar seemed to shine out brighter than it had in the lamp lights and his fur looked even more amazing than it had outside.

A low slurping noise could be heard underneath our loud moans and whimpers as Thomas bred me. My body tingled with excitement and the feeling grew with each push of his strong hips against my rump. I had to push against the head board with my paw to keep from hitting my head.

Thomas seemed to be in his own world as his movements became quicker and more desperate. He was clenching, trying to hold on as long as he could but it was obvious that his climax was coming.

"Kota, I-"Before he could finish the sentence, he pushed as hard as he could and the knot slipped into me with a 'pop'. My muzzle opened to moan but it quickly turned into a shriek as Thomas leaned down and bit my right shoulder, hard. He continued thrusting as his climax took over. I felt the warmth spreading inside of my body with each wave of his climax as he came inside of me. His teeth were also biting down harder, and whatever feeling of warmth and ecstasy that I felt from his knot were replaced with a searing pain from my shoulder. My eyes watered and I fought to keep myself from screaming again, or from pulling away. I came into this knowing that he was going to bite me, I just had to persist through it this one time.

After a while, his body relaxed and his teeth pulled out of my shoulder. He just leaned over me panting for a while, basking in the afterglow before he came back into reality.

"Oh my goodness!" He didn't seem to have realized what he had done until now. There was blood dripping from his muzzle and his eyes looked between my eyes and my shoulder frantically. "Kota are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I-"

"I'm fine Thomas; it's just a flesh wound." I tried to reassure him but he violently shook his head.

"No it isn't. Do you know how hard we have to bite down for it to be considered a mating bite? I bit you extremely hard Kota, I forgot that you were supposed to be on your back... I was supposed to bite the excess fur on the back of your next. I'm so sorry." His eyes were starting to water too.

"How hard do you have to bite?" I asked.

"Hard enough to keep your fur from growing back." Thomas sobbed.

"I didn't know that...," I looked at my shoulder, then back at him. "so did you bite me hard enough?"

"Yes..." A tear dropped onto my cheek and he leaned down to lick it. "I'm sorry Kota, maybe we shouldn't do this again for a while." He wiped my blood from his muzzle with his arm and leaned down to lick my shoulder.

"You don't have to do that Thomas, I'm fine." I winced at the pain, but the worst part had already passed. There was a little throbbing still there though.

"It's instinct, just let me do it." He licked the wound thoroughly and cleaned as much of the blood as he could.

"You only have to give me one mating bite right?" I asked.

"Yeah, now we're mates." He tried to smile but it was obvious that he was still sad. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a hug. His knot still kept us tied together and his body warmth was a nice contrast to the cool night air. I looked out of the window and noticed that most of the clouds were gone. Although we couldn't see them, we could hear the sound of fireworks going off in the distance. I didn't mind missing the fireworks this year though, I have a pretty great view of something beautiful right above me.

"How do you feel?" He asked after a few moments.

"Horny." I said.

He pulled away and looked down to see my shaft. It was glistening in the moon light and my stomach was almost drenched with pre come. "You're so big." He stroked it with his paw.

"Sorry I couldn't climax for you sweetie, I know how bad you want to taste it." I said.

"It's fine," He stopped stroking my shaft and stroked my cheek. "we'll just have to work on it."

"I'm looking forward to it."

That's the end of chapter one! It came out A LOT longer than I expected it to.
