#13 of The Rich and The Poor

Hey guys. Argh-...let me tell you college was a killer this semester but I got through and passed :) I was writing this story along the way but I had to put it aside for mid terms and finals so it probably seems a bit rushed. I'm on winter break now but I just want to get this part of the story put aside so I can write the next one. I'm still thinking about you! Hopefully I can the next one before the next semester!


(Yuuta's view)

Ahh theres something about the sea that is so attractive to me. Is it its mystical colors of blue? The open freedom it brings? All the mysteries underneath its waters?

I am a tiger and a natural born swimmer. Swimming was one of my favorite exercises when I was little, in fact it was one of the few training routines I didn't mind doing. Feeling the water brush against my fur, going through the water like a fish. I just can't help but feel like a kid again whenever I get into the water.

Especially when the water is warm like in the hot springs up north of Riften. I went there once and I loved it, the soothing warmth of water making my skin and fur tingle, letting the steam relax me and put all pressures and worries of the outside away.

Not that the salt-water seas have their positives too. You always hear the tales of fisherman catching the largest fish in the seas, hehe if it weren't for this war I would be tempted to make a fishing pole and try my luck.

Looking back in the ship I could see the men cleaning the floors, setting the sails or just playing around. I couldn't believe this is what people did in the ships when going to war. I figured as a kid, now looking back its silly to think this, that soldiers stood still in the boat the whole time. Like they did nothing and only waited until we reached the shore.

I was glad to be wrong, I was actually somewhat enjoyed looking out at the sea even though still wearing my plate armor. Some of the other men also had their armor on but others didn't. Some said they wore it with pride, like they wanted to be the hero who wore his armor every second since the war was declared.

But this is not why I'm wearing my armor, as beautiful as the sea was I knew of only one thing that was more beautiful...I looked up at the helm to see a young, handsome human boy with brown hair and eyes looking out at the sea just as peacefully as I was. That person is my mate, the taker of my virginity and my soul partner.

Resting my hand on my chin and my arm on the railing I was watching him more then actually watching the sea. To see the wind blow against him, seeing his beautiful hair whip around and get messed up like the times we had in bed. Ohh those moments were much more comforting then the hot springs up north.

Castiel...my lover, the most beautiful person in the world and yet instead of being adored by millions of fans or rightfully being in bed with me he's out here in the middle of an ocean about to fight a war.

I let out a sigh of disappointment, if it were just me and him on this ship...if only.

I was also lucky that Castiel was among those who didn't wear his armor while on the boat...even luckier that he was actually shirtless revealing his gorgeous body for all to see.

I purred to myself softly as I imagined him and I getting reunited here all alone like in those plays or books. The lovers embrace and kiss each other passionately with the setting sun in the distance and a wave coming up the moment our lips made contact.

Thank goodness I don't have to hide my fur being upright when I think of such things with this armor on, in fact I can blush and whisper naughty things to myself behind this helmet and no one will hear me.

My tail though despite being happy for my thoughts was dirty and somewhat messed up. The traveling before and dirty conditions made it looked more weathered which should help me hide my identity from my mate.

Oh why does Castiel think he's doing this for a good reason? Why didn't he just run away from the draft or leave the army entirely? I know he could easily escape them and he knows I would have given him the gold or at least buy a new place for him to live in.

He's a human, a strong, beautiful, muscular human but he does not need to fight, he's a natural born lover like me. All these thoughts weren't helping the plan that I needed to keep my identity secret from him and to keep myself from just having at him in the middle of the ship. Ohhh as badly as I want to, and even though as sweet as that kiss would be he would no doubt tell everyone I was Yuuta Michaels instead of Tarack Hildano.

Sadly my sight seeing of my mate was cut off by another man tapping his shoulder and telling him he needs to tie up some ropes. Castiel didn't look disappointed in the slightest while my heart ached to take over his job for him and let him relax that beautiful body of his.

Not too long after I was told to sweep the steps leading up to the helm. Along the way I passed by 2 life boats which I also had a temptation by...I would just grabbed Castiel in the middle of the night, tie him up if he didn't come quietly and row all the way back to Bornir and carry him back to Riften then my bed.

As I swept I made sure to keep an eye on Castiel the whole time. I also had to keep an eye on all the others here, hmph! No doubt they are thinking of possibly having him as their own. If that happened so help me I would tear that man apart forgetting all about my secret identity if I had too.

Though they didn't look or talk to Castiel as a potential lover they were friendly with him, all of them either telling him thank you for tasks he did for them or about how great he was working. As annoying as it was for me to see my mate work when I want him to rest it was worth it to see him smile even if it wasn't directed at me.

I had to think about a way to get us off this ship of course, something that would make sense and not harm us physically or reputation wise. I couldn't just take the lifeboat and try to row away. The armada of over 100 ships would see us immediately, bribing in the middle of the ship ride would led to unrest and confusion among the others... is there really no other choice but to wait until we landed in Nebain?

As I swept lost in my fantasies of what things I should do to Castiel when we get back to Riften I bumped into a fellow sailor.

"Oh sorry." I said before looking up to see a cheetah...know normally I wouldn't have thought much of this man, he was skinny but had a diver like build to him. His legs did look powerful but that face...I-Its like I've seen it before.

"Oh don't worry wasn't looking where I was going. Like many times before." He said to himself scratching the back of his head in awkwardness remembering a bad memory.

Wait a moment...cheetah...running into something. Thank the gods my face was being hidden by the helmet when I looked at him again with my jaw slightly opened! The blades thief! The one that nearly got away from me until Castiel stopped him!

I stood still almost expecting the cheetah to recognize me somehow through this helmet but he didn't look at me as I would expect a pissed off thief would. I thought it would be better if I just let that be but my stupid mouth, like what it did for poor Castiel before, got me in trouble.

"Your that guy who tried to steal the blades from the Michaels!" I said out loud before hearing my jaw close shut with a click. Oh crap why would I say that out loud! Oh he's going to make me lose my identity then I'll have no choice but to-

"Oh you heard yeah...embarrassing story and that. Do you come from Riften?" he asked...rather politely strangely. I was half expecting him to start yelling at me and demand a fight rather than admit his flaw. I had to keep my false identity of course.

"U-Um no I'm a traveling merchant. My name is Tarack Hildano, I was born on the road near Vendic. I joined up with the army to find something more in life...how about you?" I said as my mind was screaming at me to stop before I overstep my luck.

"Please to met you Tarack. I'm Venal and..well...I'm a thief. I-I mean I use to be a thief! I hope this time in the army will make something out of me. It should be as exciting as a thief life would unlike being a noble did..."He said ending it with a sigh...wait...Venal...as in-!

"Venal Tosaro?! The prince of Copucal that was thought kidnap and killed?! You're alive?!" I said as he jumped up at my realization. I remember hearing about this! People searched for about 100 miles before finding his uniform in a nearby river!

"Haha...yeah that's me." He admitted rather weakly.

"W-What are you doing? Why didn't you go back to your parents?!" I asked

"Eh...Tarack you don't know what its like to be a noble, having to keep up appearances, practicing speeches and keeping your body fit, and having to look beautiful every day for people who see even the tiniest flaw in your fashion or speaking they will berate you until the end of time." He said as-...as I though about the same stuff too.

"I mean all it ever is with those people was just bragging and gossiping-bragging and gossiping, and complaining about some desert tray that didn't have their wanted treat! Augh...I don't know, I just couldn't go on living like that but I had no idea what to do...until one day when I was walking around in my city pretending to be just a commoner someone pickpocket me! I screamed 'hey' and gave chase. Hehe the first chase I had, I thought being a noble and a cheetah meant I would be the fastest thing alive but here was this low life putting up one hell of a chase for me. "

"I kept up the pursuit until finally I had him cornered on a beach, I tackled him down and was surprised to see a lady! A young lass about my age and she was a leopard! Both of us were panting from the running before and well...I admit we must have been thinking the same thing. Two people on a beach, one a noble and the other a low life...waves crashing on the shore. I-I felt alive for the first time in my whole life. Like the clever girl she was she distracted me with a kiss that made me flutter, it wasn't my first kiss but this kiss from this thief girl...I don't know I lost it. There was something about it, after hearing about how bad low lifes are then actually kissing one that proved you weren't invincible. I don't know I feel in love. "

"I told her the truth that I was nobility and was willing to do anything to leave that life or at least make it more exciting. She wanted to dress as a princess and well...since I was a prince who had now fallen in love I-...I like a fool told my parents and they were furious! Thankfully she was too fast and agile for the guards and escaped. While I was banished to my room. I hate my parents Tarack I really do, that night I knew I hated this kind of life. Then believe it or not she came back for me through the window and we escaped together...haha of course not before taking all the gold we could carry from my parents."

"So you know the search for 'me' was actually more about the money rather than my safety. Not that I care to be found." He said as I was stunned...leaving behind your fortune...I envied this man.

"So yeah I ran away. She and I went on a little crime spree and found a place we wanted to buy. But it was a lot and we had to rob a lot of stuff if we wanted to get it. I thought one day I caught a lucky break in Riften." He said as I knew I should probably end it there...but I was entranced by his story.

"Go on" I said as my mind slapped me

"Nobles there despite having good guards also have a lot of stuff worth selling. I should have stopped when I was only about 2,000 away from buying the house all by myself before I got too greedy and cocky. "

"You see I heard about these blades wielded by the famous royal line of the Michaels. Some story about 2 soldiers falling in love or what not- anyway I got an offer for someone willing to give me 25,000 gold- it was too much for me to pass up on. So after nearly being spotted by the guards twice I managed to climb all the way to the window until I saw someone looking at me. And there I kid you not was Yuuta Michaels! The famous fit prince of the Michael blood! Oh gods I don't need to tell you frightened I was! I made a very risky move and dove out the window and land in some trees, a move my thief love taught me and I nailed it for the first time. I thought I might have a chance but-...let me tell you there are not joking when they say Yuuta Michaels can learn anything quick. He did the same moments later and landed nearly perfectly!"

"So here I was running through the streets like the frightened kitten I was looking back to see Yuuta Michaels and about 20 guards chasing my tail but I was far ahead of them and they were falling behind. I was almost in the clear when out of nowhere-BAM! I ran straight into the arm of some human, knocked the wind of me right there. They managed to recover the blades and I was hauled off to jail."

"I'm telling Tarack you never want to cross the Michaels in anyway, when I was in that dungeon cell it was the most terrifying experience of my life. I'm not expert thief but I can always point out an exit and there was nothing there. It was dark, silent, and dirty. The only times I ever saw anyone was the jailor and he at least talked to me about some stuff. At first he threatened me that I was going to rot for the rest of my life, but then after he saw he scared me to far he told me my sentence was 10 years, a lot I know but at least it wasn't a death sentence."

"But one day the jailor came in told me if I was willing to sign up for the Nebain War my crimes would be forgiven and I would be allowed to leave! He didn't have to tell me twice, signed up the second he gave me the paper and I was free...well at least as free as the army allows. So yeah here I am...the charming Prince Venal, a runaway prince turned thief then turned soldier." He said ending his story as I was in awe of this man's tale.

"I-...I don't even know what to say about that...um are you still bitter towards Yuuta and the Michaels?" I asked not even considering the risk it might bring, I was just too interested to hear what he would say in order to care about my identity.

"Nah, Yuuta was doing what he had to at the time. I'm sure he was defending the blades from me and he came after me like he was told too. I can't be angry at him for that. Besides he wasn't the one who caught me-..OH! And if you're willing to listen to another interesting story that human who hit me in the throat is right here on this ship!" He said motioning his head to Castiel as I froze...

That's right! Castiel was the one who really caught him! Oh gods Venal might want to get revenge on him for what he did! Thank goodness my helmet was still on as I began to glare at Venal, ready to attack him and defend my mate should he try anything to hurt him!

"R-Really? What do you plan to do about him?" I asked trying my best not to growl as I spoke.

"Well nothing...hehe. The thing is I already fought him as we were traveling to Bornir." He said as my fur stood upright! HE ATTACKED MY MATE ALREADY?! How dare that shrimp of a man dare attack my mate because he was rightfully stopped!

My rage was hidden behind my helmet but I was just about ready to tackle Venal down and pummel him to a pulp before he went on with his story.

"Yeah I suppose you could say I had some nerves against the human still. I felt like I wasn't given a fair chance when I was running you know? Oh yeah it was kinda funny now when I look back on it. The guy's name is Castiel. Me, Castiel, and about 4 other guys are sitting next to a campfire talking about our greatest moments of our lives when he brings up how he caught me."

"The army wasn't very strict on no drinking at the time so we both already drank some booze before and well...I guess I'm a violent and loud drunk. So I stood up and challenged him to a tussle which he accepted and well...heh I'm not afraid to admit he wiped the floor with me. I got in a good hit or two but that human geez let me tell you can dodge, endure, and punch like a bull! He won by putting me in this armbar hold he said he got from a special someone. I guess whatever nerves I had left after that were gone. We actually sorta became friends after that...and between you and me I think he could take on Yuuta Michaels! I know many would disagree but I think that human has a chance against him! I know I don't! I never plan to challenge him again, but I'll gladly fight by Castiel's side during this war." He said proudly as my tail flicked.

Hmm okay he saved himself from a beating. I was still somewhat angry at he attacked my mate but I'm willing to forgive him if he keeps his distance. Just a few days in the war and Castiel has gotten into a fight. I let out a small whimper wondering if he had any marks from the tussle.

I said goodbye to Venal before going back to sweeping but my mind was constantly on Castiel. What was he thinking about? What was he doing? Does he still love me? Does he wish I was really here with him? All of these questions swamped my mind. I had to know they were killing me slowly inside!

Castiel is my mate! I need to know if he's all right but talking to him might risk my cover! I thought for a while not seeing any safe options, I can't go on like this. I know it's only been a day but just seeing him and guessing what he thinks about me isn't good enough for me now. It's settled then I must talk to him as Tarack Hildano, I have to try as hard as I can to hold my desires back and keep up my act.

I messed up my tail a bit further by smacking my tail in the dust pile making it look slightly grayer than it actually is and changing my voice to a slightly higher tone. I had to keep my helmet on at all times. Not even if he asks me I have to demand that it stays on.

Taking a deep breath I saw Castiel on the northwestern part of the ship still tying up some ropes and I confidently walked to him. My heart was racing almost expecting him or someone else to see right through my armor and scream "Hey its Yuuta Michaels!" if that ever happened I mind as well tackle Castiel in the water and swim all the back to shore. He would no doubt try to run and tell the captain to turn around making the whole armada halt and cause a political scandal...was I overreacting? I don't know I always get such worrying thoughts whenever I talk to Castiel.

It's only been like 2 weeks since he left its not like it's been years or anything! Just because I'm pretending to be a different person doesn't mean I can't be friendly and nice to him like a lover would!

Taking each step cautiously towards him I stood behind him waiting for him to finish with the rope and notice me. My gaze constantly on his back and his cute rump...that I use to see every time I was in bed with him. I heard my manly desire hit my groin armor making a soft "bink" noise that made me blush. My body flared with desire to just rip off my armor and plow him against the railing, growling at anyone who tried to stop me. That's right let them watch me have at my mate right there on the ship so there's no doubt about my claim over Castiel.

Oh stop it Yuuta! You need to stop thinking about sex at the moment! If you don't do every thing correctly it might mean Castiel and I will get into trouble! Taking a deep breath and changing my voice to a slightly higher tone I spoke.

"Um...hey there." I said in my fake voice as Castiel looked up to acknowledge me but he had to finish with the rope first.

"Oh hello! Just let me tie this knot and we'll talk okay?" He said with smile as I smiled too.

"I have all the time in the world for you Castiel" I said softly to myself making sure he didn't hear me. When he finish he stood up and brush away some dust that had turned to mud on his chest because of his sweat and the sea water. Oh gods come on Yuuta you got to calm down or else you'll just lose control of your lust!

"There, sorry about the wait. My name is Castiel Amiel." He said holding out his hand for me to shake it which I did. I still had my armor gloves on so he couldn't tell it would be me by my hands...but my heart wished I could hold his hand again.

"I'm Tarack Hildano a great pleasure to meet you Castiel" I said as he smiled and nodded.

"You too Tarack so where did you come from?" He asked as I prepared my mind for a fake story.

"I don't really have a home but I was born somewhere near Gilda and my parents were traveling merchants. They spent many years training me to become a merchant until...it was their time and I had to go on my own. I've traveled to many areas perhaps I've been to where you live at?" I asked

"I'm from Riften have you been there?" He asked.

"Yes I have actually! Which town do you live in?"

"I'm from low town. I'm a farmer mostly but I help everyone there with just about everything. I will admit Tarack being a traveling merchant does sound great, sure the roads might be dangerous with bandits and hostile tribes like the Kersains preparing for assaults but the road must give you a certain kind of freedom right?" He asked as I began to feel a bit at ease.

"Yeah but its not what you think...Sometimes you feel trapped you know? Like even though you have all these items and supposed freedoms you still have to impress others...-I mean merchants of course! Like you know the roads only go so far and in order to turn a profit for your wares you must go to a certain far away land!" I said quickly turning to get back into my fake story.

"huh I guess I never thought of it that way. I don't mean to bring back any bad memories possibly but you said your parents had...passed on?"

"Yeah and don't worry I don't mind talking about them." I offered trying to act somewhat saddened.

"Well I just want you to know that you're not alone...my parents were killed in the plague about 10 years ago. It-...it was difficult being hardly 8 and having to tend to the farm alone. I had to work hard and it made me stronger physically but the mental and emotional drain was too much. " Castiel said saddened as my heart ached to reach out and hug him. I wanted to whisper in his ear that it was all right and that I loved him but I couldn't!

"I'm so sorry Castiel, I had a good amount of wealth to start off on my own but you sound like you had to work your way from the bottom. I kinda admire you for that. I've always wondered what it would be like to test yourself in society." I admitted.

It was true, even though I never thought about it when I was still a rival with Castiel I do see the hardship of having to rely on nothing but your body and skills to keep up with all the work farmers had to do. Even more since Castiel helped others and was dominating all the others in class. He worked so hard and never had the chance to felt loved...and look at me.

Prince Yuuta, despite being trained from age 4 to 11 I had the easy life really after that. School wasn't challenging and it was nothing but impressing the nobles and attending parties after that...I had everything from the start and Castiel still managed to make me work in class.

That's why I love him, he has power and determination I want my mate to have. He has that perfect body that makes me want to adore it for years on end. My mind started to tease me with bed fantasies again but I had to remain focused on Castiel in front of me.

"Yeah it was tough...Working all year not taking a break even if you were sick...its not the easy life and certainly no one would be attracted to it but-...you do what you have to do." He said leaning against the railing looking out to the sea again.

Well I would give you the easy life if only my parents weren't snobbish nobles and you would take the help and coin! I protested in my mind, but even still that's another reason why I love him. His loyalty to his country and work is something I can only hope to match someday.

He could have given up anytime but he pushed on, while I was taught from birth and even then I had doubts about my heritage.

"What do you hope to be Castiel? What's your dream? Why are you in the army?" I asked as Castiel looked out at the sea still. I almost thought he didn't hear and I was about to ask again until he cut me off.

"I want a nice mansion...I want to buy a nice place and find the lover of my dreams and live there lovingly and comfortably to the end of my days." He said as my tail flicked...in envy of my future.

Oh yes of course we'll buy a nice mansion, the best for you Castiel! I'll give you all the coin and the lover of your dreams is right here ready to comfort and love you...of course it may not be all that easy when we are in the bed. The back of my mind teased but I was serious I will spend my savings to give him the life he desires.

"Sounds nice...and what's this about the lover of your dreams? What do you think the lover of your dreams is like?" I questioned as Castiel jumped and blushed red. Aww he's embarrassed it makes me want to tease and flirt with him but calm yourself Yuuta.

I realized something just now. This would be the ultimate test of loyalty for Castiel, if he started describing someone nothing like me it would break my heart but maybe for all I know he will talk about me. Ohh it's going to be so romantic to hear him say great things about me!

I realized there was a risk about asking him to many questions but I had to know everything! Just to satisfy me for now, then when we land on Nebain I'm going to pick him up bring the gold and buy our way out of the army!

"O-Oh you mean like-do I have someone special at home?" He asked as I nodded.

"Well-...Well I guess you could say so but well. I'm sorry it's embarrassing and if Venal ever heard about this he wouldn't keep it to himself. Please Tarack let me know if I can trust you?" He asked as I smiled blushing at how innocent and embarrassed he was acting like a little child.

"Of course Castiel, merchants are men of their words. Whatever you tell me will just be between you and I." I said as Castiel looked around to make sure no one was nearby.

"Okay...well I guess I'll start from the beginning. You see in Riften there were 3 schools about 20 years ago but the low town school was destroyed and the high town one was bought off so that left the mid town school. So everyone in the city from farmers to nobles had to share it. As you can imagine there were plenty of fights and tension between the low town and high town people....the most famous rivalry being between me and-....and..." He said pausing as I wondering if he would make up something or be completely truthful.

"Go on."

"Um...well this tiger prince-...ess." He said as I somewhat despaired that he lied but hopefully he would lie about anything else. Still it was cute to see Castiel struggle with his emotions. I know he loves me dearly and I suppose he just wants to be careful.

Castiel would have to get involved with a lot of fights in order for other men to leave him alone...and I sure as hell would be there to defend if any tried but still Castiel thinks he's probably only keeping me safe. I had to act surprised of course.

"A tiger princess?! Interesting please go on." I said resting my arms on the railing looking directly at Castiel as he continued to struggle.

"Well um- as I said the nobles and poor were at each others throats and everyone came to rely on either me or the tiger princess for all their contests and challenges. We were kinda like the champions of low town and high town you know? The Rich and The Poor? Anyway our rivalry began when we were just 11 and all the way up to 18 we were constantly battling the other."

"He was-...I mean 'she' was tough! Every race, every test was a chance to prove the other was weaker and...she always won. We always insulted the other and people really wanted a fight between us to just end it once and for all...I know I may have acted like I wanted to but the truth was I was scared to face her in an all stakes fight. He-...SHE! Was a beautifully built tiger and I envied her muscles back then but I always got the sense she didn't want a one on one fight either." Castiel said as I pondered.

Hmm...I guess that it true. As much as I wanted to fight him back then I was also scared about losing. As blind as I was back then I knew Castiel could beat me if he tried hard enough.

"Well anyway one day there were these captain recruitment tests. Each person takes them and if you pass you're going to be a captain in the future. For me being a low town hopeful it was the perfect chance to challenge him-HER! Again or at the very least get out of low town. But the next day...I didn't make it. I was second place but yet I didn't make the cut. I was devastated at the time and I wanted to leave but she found me first."

"At first she started to talk down to me making me cry before...I just screamed she was right. That I knew I was low town trash and the like and admitted she was better. Tarack I'm a man and a strong worker but you can be broken in spirit so many times before you give up, that all rivalries don't really matter anymore."

"So in front of my rival tiger princ-ess I admitted she was superior and instead of continued ranting or wanting to scream in joy that I admitted losing she-...she told me that she admired me. She told me she only ever thought about me when we competed and she actually thought of me as a friend...so we did right there like nothing happened. One day were blood born rivals...then next were friends." Castiel said as my heart fluttered at the memory. Oh why didn't I admit love instead of admiration that day? Then I would have had months of love making with Castiel instead of all those doubts and worries.

"We had some things to get through...like finally burying the hatchet between us. We wanted a final match to prove who was stronger. We were friends of course but when you fight for so long and forget about it...I don't know...It's almost like you can't leave it at that for me. So we had one final match free style fighting and...well you can go ahead and tease me about being beaten up by a girl but she easily beat me. Feeling her nice muscles and pec-Breasts I mean! Rub against my chest was on my mind constantly after the match."

"We had a few more adventures after that. I showed her my favorite place to look at Riften and all its country glory and she brought me to her gym and some noble parties disguised..." He said as he blushed red again as I knew what was coming next...our first kiss.

"And? What happened next?" I asked almost enjoying him blushing at the memory like I was. I was still struggling not to just lunged at him and make love on the spot but this is okay.

"Um one day there was a party and even though I was pretending to be a knight some nobles insulted me when I told the truth about being born from low town then...insulted my dead parents. According to her she chased off the people and came right back to me."

"I was a wreck I admit it. They cut me deep, I dated some other girl awhile back and she broke my heart too...everyone seemed to hate me for being poor except for her. T-Then um...she told me she really wanted to be with me and well...we...um you know."

"Kissed?" I said as he nodded.

"Y-Yeah we kissed and after fighting away my doubts of worthiness of being with hi-her! We eventually made love....in the bed." I said as I had to act completely shocked.

"Sleeping with a tiger princess noble?! My goodness Castiel you can get anyone you want can't you?" I said as he blushed again. His legs looked weak as if almost ready to give out to the embarrassment but he held his own.

"Y-Yeah it was kind of a shock for us too. But we wanted the other really badly-" He said before I cut him off.

"Who was in charge?" I asked as he burned bright red.

"W-What?"

"Well being a tough female and all I wondered if maybe she really did let you be on top of her is all..." I asked as he blushed.

"O-Okay fine she was the one in charge really!" He whispered loudly. I suppose no man would like to admit the female was tougher in the bed but I can see why some males might be attracted to that.

"A-Anyway! We did it a few times after that. Since she was a tiger she had some very physical desires but we eventually worked out a schedule. Those days were some of the happiest of my life. I truly thought I would never experience love but I did-...the way she touched me, the way she kissed and adored my body it-...it was so...pleasing." He said as I couldn't help but give a girlish scream in my mind. Oh I knew it! He loved me so dearly and I was being the best mate he ever wanted! It actually took me a few moments to calm myself and continued...that soured the mood really.

"Then one day when I'm about ready to go to school some courier hands me a few papers and...and I see their draft letters from her father. Now the thing is we aren't a public couple, we're secretive and I was worried that her father was going to punish her when it should be me. I mean I was the one who made the first move by admitting my admiration of hi-her! So sadly on what was supposed to be our sex night I had to tell her the bad news." He said as my tail that was curled up slumped down remembering that awful day...even though it was not a week ago.

"How did she take it?"

"Badly. She burst into tears and sobs begging me not to go but this is her father were talking about! If she tried to claim that she loved me right there they would exile or disown her! I couldn't let that happen. But from what I can tell it was just because I was a good fighter not because he discovered the relationship or anything. So here I am fighting for my country and my mate...because it's all I got left." He said as I looked at him again

Seeing his hair blow against the wind with a confident smile and looking out to the sun...i-it did look heroic but-...what if his mate was perfectly fine with just being there for him? I-I want Castiel to rest and not worry about fighting. Was Castiel sad about all this? Looking at him now he doesn't look it but its like I sensed something was wrong.

"Well whoever that girl is...she's lucky to have you. I bet nothing can match the love between you two." I said patting his shoulder so badly wanting to turn him around and say "But I'm the luckiest between the both of us." Then take off my helmet and kiss passionately...but I somehow held back. I will get you out of this Castiel I promise because you're my mate and I lo-

"Hmph...well one of us is in love..." He said out of nowhere as I froze at the words...o-one of us was in love? W-What does that mean?! The way he said it i-it made my fur stand upright and my skin shudder!

"W-What?" I said not even disguising my voice before realizing my mistake horrified that he caught it but it appears he didn't.

"I don't know...do you ever have that feeling that someone loves you for-...just your body?" Castiel asked as at first I was confused but then I made the horrible connection...love for just a body.

"W-What do you mean?" I asked somewhat shocked at the words I was hearing. I-Is he serious?! M-Maybe he knows its me and he's putting me into a scare for revenge for trying to trick him! I wanted to pull off my helmet and curse at him for scaring me like that but...the way he said it. My legs were solid stone and I couldn't move any part of me. The only thing I could do was listen in shock.

"You know that someone doesn't really love you-'The real you'. That the person only loves to tease and make love to your body. That even if you gave up your body for someone else she would fall in love with the other instead of you?" He said offering a bunch of explanations as my tail puffed out in-...in disgust!

Love for only his body?! Never! I-...I mean sure I-I did adore loving his body, nibbling it softly and touching it sensually bu-but!

"I-I...I don't..." I managed to say as Castiel only took it as a man who couldn't offer any advise...instead of knowing he was saying this to his bed mate.

"I found this article in this magazine that claims people like him-Her! Fall in love just with the body and couldn't care anything about the person or his emotions. I wanted to deny it but...the more we did it the more I realized it was true."

"She was a princess but she didn't get the chance to date and all of his-her! Suitors were snobs...but since she was maturing she wanted something to touch, to kiss without worrying about commitment."

N-No! I-I love you! T-This isn't simple lust! I-I mean your body is great and I do love it but I-I also love 'you'! Part of me was angry at what he was telling me. My aggressive lover side wanted to grab him, drag him all the way to the bottom deck and make passionate but also fiery love to him. That I loved him for-...NO! T-THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT CASTIEL IS SAYING! LOVE FOR HIS BODY AND THE PLEASURE OF SEX NOT HIM!

A few tears left my eyes but once again the helmet was saving me. I was breathing a bit louder at this horrible news...d-does he think I only see him as a sex slave?! D-Do I only see him as a sex slave?! Was the whole reason why I loved him just for his body?!

Have I been nothing more but the greedy prince I was trying so hard not to be?! Am I forcing Castiel to make love to me?! Is he saying he doesn't like being around me?! I-I'm a horrible mate! W-Why didn't he just say this when we were dating or-

"But despite that...I still love him..." He said interrupting my thoughts. I thought my ears were playing tricks...w-would anyone be okay with taking advantage of them?! I-I don't but-!

"Even if he sees me as nothing more but a trophy or prize...its better than what most people treat me like today. That I would rather be his play thing than someone else's mate." He said as-...as I conflicted on what to think about that.

H-He was fine with me just loving his body? Does he really think that? I-Is he only a trophy to be claimed in his eyes? Not a mate to be loved and respected like others would?

"I will go back to Riften someday but I am fearful of the idea that he might have moved on to some other muscle stud. What could I say or do in that situation? I couldn't touch him or else I would be jailed and he has the power to kick me out of Riften if he wanted too...but I love him so much that I can't help but respect him and his desires." Castiel said as I realized he was crying...and not even hiding the identity of his lover anymore.

"He's so perfect, so strong, so charming and attractive...even though we already talked about my fears I feel like he doesn't give enough thought about my desires...what I want. In the magazine it said that if he allowed me to be on top, just once...it meant that he did care for my feelings. But when we did-...he pushed me away. He said he never wanted me to touch him. I know most would be angry and hate him but...when I look at him I can't help but fall in love with his superiority. So...after so long of fighting, after challenging the other with our family's honor and our determination...I decided to give mine up completely out of respect for his." Castiel admitted as tears were streaming out of my eyes for him.

I-Its my fault? For the time I didn't let him bed me? It was because of my fears that he doubts my love for him? He did say he loves me but he believes that I love him now only because of his body. Only because...Castiel...

"Well...whatever happens during or after this war it will be the will of the gods that it happened. I pray I will see his face again but I know this is practically a death sentence. Thank you for listening Tarack." He said patting my shoulder before getting back to work again...smiling like nothing happened.

I don't know how I managed to stand. I wanted to break down into sobs of my cowardice. I should have let him that day, I-I know I wanted him to touch me and claim me that day...Why did I have to push him away?! H-He gives up so much! His family, his live, his love, his emotions and yet somehow he still manages to smile like nothing is wrong!

I was in no mood to work anymore. I went down to crew quarters and found my small bunk bed. It was tiny and smelt of salt water but there were no walls to separate me from the others. No one but the captain got their own room.

It was like being hit by a wrecking ball right in the gut. I curled up into a little ball on the bed...thinking...wondering....am I truly nothing more but the greedy prince? Was the only reason why I fell in love with Castiel was because of the enjoyment of sex?...so does that mean I should have just married some suitor...or paid prostitutes to pleasure me each night?...am-...am I really like the horrible person who uses fake words of love for sex?

That must be it...why no one wanted to be close to me...why I had no friends at school...why everyone avoided me...because they knew I would just use them. This is why you never hear of stories of Michaels and any 'friends' because we are only greedy people. We only pick that special someone...that someone with a body that makes us mad for them but not for their pasts or desires...just uncontrolled lust.

I-...I'm a horrible mate...Castiel...deserves better than me. I'm nothing more but a whore, a noble whore...I'll probably just fall in love with some other muscle person and forget all about Castiel.

But...But why can't I picture myself with anyone else? Why does it hurt whenever I think of the idea of being away from Castiel? Why is it that if I saw Castiel with anyone else I feel angry, and when I see him walk away I can't help but feel pain in my heart? If this is lust...wouldn't it be easier to have simply moved on? Or is it just I'm still in love with his body still?

As I was despairing on the bed I heard something...like someone pacing around angrily. Whoever it was he was right next to me and I could sense the frustration on him. Barely finding the strength I turned my head to see...my Michael self again. He was walking back and forth from my bed, I could see the annoyance and frustration on his face as his fist clenched as if wanting to punch something. At first he was just muddling and whispering to myself but then he got louder.

"Unbelievable! The nerve of him! After all we do for him he still thinks that?! Rrrrr if it wasn't because of how madly we love him I would be tempted to punch him. So what do you plan to do when you confront him next time?" My inner self ask as my eyes dropped in acceptance of the situation.

"Nothing...I don't plan to meet him again. I-...I think I should just leave without him..." I said as I could see my inner self's fur stand upright.

"What?! What kind of plan is that?! If he doesn't know its you he can't come after you! How does that prove....oh don't you tell me." He said with a sudden realization on his face...that still read anger.

"He was right...I'm nothing more but a greedy prince. I only loved him for his body...like he was a piece of meat or a common whore. I don't deserve him, he's in all this trouble because of me. If I leave he should do fine..." I told my inner self but he looked even more disgusted.

"By the gods...YOU THINK HE WAS TELLING THE TRUTH?! Yuuta! Argh! I'm such an idiot! Are you blind man?! How are you not seeing what I'm seeing?!" He shouted back.

"Does it matter? I pushed him away, I told him that I never wanted him to feel in charge like a power hungry king would...I'm nothing-" I said before I felt something against my cheek...a slap.

This slap echoed even though it was in my own mind. It was forceful, it was meant to wake me up. I then felt a pair of hands pick me up by shoulders as my inner self started yelling in my face.

"Yuuta are you stupid?! How many times have we told Castiel that we love him?! Answer me!" He demanded as I resisted...if I continue to ignore him he'll go away I thought.

"How long have we loved him?! How long did we admire him?! Over 7 years! Does that sound like lust to you?!" He told me as I-...I- No I-I'm still a-

"Would a lustful king have waited months before asking his supposed "whore" to mate with him?! Do you remember after the first kiss you wanted to have sex but you waited! You waited out of love and respect for Castiel! If you only lusted after him you would have used your power to force him to mate with you whenever you wanted!" He told me as..as...y-yeah that was true but-

"And when your mate thought himself unworthy of you did you just let him leave?! Did you even consider just letting him go and going after some other person?! NO! You went after him right away! You sent him hundreds of love notes! You risked your honor and identity for him! Does that sound like someone only wanted lust would do?!"

I-...I guess not...

"You asked him if he wanted to be on top first and he volunteered to be the bottom first! If you only lusted for him you would have tackled him and made fierce love to him right away instead of holding back until the end?!"

"But did it end after the first night?! NO! You went on dates still! You still kissed and visited the other! He means everything to you! He allowed you to be on top every time until that night!" He told me as I knew...the bulk of my sorrow was next to be targeted. W-Would he succeed? Am-...Am I only sad by Castiel's beliefs or is it that I really think I am in love with his body?

"You simply weren't ready that night! Anyone who isn't ready will say anything to make the pain stop! This is almost common lover knowledge! You were unprepared and had no idea how to react!...but the real thing that you should realize is what's happening right now Yuuta!" It told me as I listened carefully.

"When Castiel left to go to war did you give up all hope? Did you sit back and let him go?! No! You confronted your father then left your castle to go after him, risking your savings and your Michael honor! No one who only lusts would ever consider that!!!"

"You traveled over a hundred miles away from Riften! You gave up thousands of gold coins, and your willing to give your life for Castiel does that sound like lust?! "

"And finally!...if this was lust would you have been taking it this bad? Would a lustful person be crying about a lost mate?" It asked me as once again I felt a fire in me. A stronger, more passionate fire that made me stand up with determination! H-He was right! I know he's right! I am not meant to cry and give up I am meant to convince Castiel of my love and take him back home!

"No! Castiel is wrong! I love 'him'! If anything his body is only a small bonus! It was his smile, his strength, his voice, his eyes, and his friendly ways that made me love him! I CAN ONLY BE WITH CASTIEL! Even if he gets injured I will take care of him even if it he loses his muscles it will not matter I will still love him and be loyal to him! If he travels across the world I will go after him! I love 'you' Castiel!" I told myself

M-my gods that felt amazing! It felt like nothing could hurt me again! I knew I loved Castiel for who he is not for his body! I can't believe I was concerned over such a small matter!

"But..." My inner self told me as I looked at him.

"You know Castiel won't take your word for it. He still sees himself below you. Even with all this he might still think you did just not to let go of some precious body trophy." My inner self told me as I paused...then merely slapped it away.

"hmph! No problem! This is only something to take care of right now."

"What?...What do you plan to do?" It asked

"You know what." I told him before it smiled at me and disappeared...I just have to wait now for the perfect time.

The rest of the day was filled of meaningless tasks. As much as I wanted to tell Castiel this right now I still had to admit the fact that he would turn me in in a second. It won't matter though soon I will show him how much he means to me! I was trying my best to relax my body but concentrate my mind for what was to come.

Keeping my eye on him still I waited...and waited until it was dark. All of the crew was excuse and went to bed for the night. I was lying on my bed waiting until it was in the middle of the night. I was going to wake up then tell Castiel there was a problem on deck that I needed help with. I took a few deep breaths, wondering if maybe right now was the best time. I don't know how but it was like something in my mind ringed and it said "Now"

I turned over to look at my mate's bed...only to see it was empty! He wasn't sleeping! Does that mean-? Even though it wasn't completely going according to my plan it didn't really matter how the first step played out only that he and I were on the top deck alone.

I got up and slowly made my way to the stairs. Making sure not to make a single noise. I didn't want to accidently wake any of the crew and make them suspicious of my plan. The stairs made a few creeks but otherwise no one woke up and there were no problems. I turned the handle on the door and looked out on the deck...

At first nothing. Just an empty deck with the other ships of the armada in the distance...then after looking to my right I saw a human looking out at sea with that same distant look on his face...there he is! I opened the door with no worry about the others. As I closed it I moved a heavy barrel to block the door to make sure no one was going to interrupt us! It felt like my plan to be quiet was abandoned and I let my hidden passion for him get the better of me.

I walked over to him still having all my armor on but it was not going to be for long. Castiel was still shirtless and despite the determination in my mind I still couldn't help but love him. He looked amazing in the moonlight. Not for his body but how he was like, so cool, so handsome and majestically like the moon.

Castiel noticed me walking over to him and looked somewhat surprised.

"Tarack! What are you doing up so late?" He asked as I stopped only feet away from him.

"Love for only your body huh?" I asked as Castiel looked confused.

"What?"

"So you think I LOVE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR BODY HUH?!" I demanded pushing him against the railing he looked confused and somewhat scared.

"T-Tarack what-?! What does it matter what sh-" He said before I growled in annoyance!

Grabbing underneath my helmet I took it off and threw it to the ground. Castiel face instantly going into shock when he saw who it really was.

"I'm not Tarack I'm your mate Yuuta Michaels! The person who loves you! Not just your body. YOU!" I told him as Castiel looked terrified as if I was going to beat him but I had no intention. He had to know my true feelings!

"Y-YUUTA?! Wha-?! W-Wait Yuuta I-I-..."

"How dare you think such low thoughts about me! Do you have any idea how much you scared me?! If it wasn't for my eternal love for you I would be slapping you like crazy right now!"

"Y-Yuuta please! I-I can explain!" Castiel begged.

"Explain? No you've done enough talking right now! I can only stand to hear people say such untrue and horrible things...especially from you!"

"B-...But I wasn't lying Yuuta...t-that's how I really feel at times. I'm not mad at you or anything, I'm still in love. I love you for who you are Yuuta even if you become the lustful greedy prince I'll still love you for all times we had...even if you see me as nothing more but a toy to be played with."

"HOW DARE YOU!" I screamed as Castiel flinched but continued.

"You chased after me because I had the prefect body not because you loved 'who' I was! If I had been born in a different body you would have never fallen in love with me! If some noble had my body right now you would fall in love with him! I-I know you would!" He said out loud...there was a paused of silence...the only sound made was waves and boats going through them. Then as if everyone in the whole armada heard there was a slap.

This slap was hard, Castiel stood back and touched his cheek which was now bright red and he grunted softly. I stood there and started to growl...those words! If anyone but 'him; would have said that they would be dead! Still to hear my mate claim I was nothing more but a lusting whore-! I-I had to hit him and knock him out of it!

Swiftly I grabbed Castiels arms and pinned them to the railing, my face inches away from his. We had a small stare down and Castiel was the one who was losing, I bet he thinks I'm way stronger then him still. I was growling lowly before pressing my muzzle against his nose making sure his eyes could only see me!

"I love only you!" I said to him making sure he would hear me clearly.

"I have only ever loved you! Not for your body but for you Castiel! Do I really seem the type to just abandon you and go for another guy?! Didn't you say you worshipped me and thought me the best person in the world? But here you are...the mate 'I' have chosen and yet you think me nothing more but a monster who would leave their loved one like nothing? That insults my honor!" I told him as Castiel flinched again.

"If I had any intention ever, which I don't! To leave you for someone else wouldn't I have stayed instead of coming after you while we are at war?! There are tons of other people with fit chests Castiel! Have you even seen the others around Riften?! Nearly every boy has muscles but here I am! A hundred miles away from people you think I would cheat off of and I am right here...with you! My one and only mate I will only make love to!"

"But I should guess my words won't be enough...its actions you only care about...You told me all the time that when you were little you had only actions to rely on not words. Then I will show you how much I love you." I told him looking at him again as he tried to look at his side.

"W-What? Are you going to claim me again? Huh? Is that somehow supposed to show you love me for who I am?" Castiel said trying to brush me away. Without fear or hesitation I said out loud.

"No....you are going to claim me as a mate." I said confidently as Castiel jumped in surprise. His eyes went wide in shock and I could tell that he thought he heard wrong.

"W-...What?"

"You are going to have sex with me. You will claim me as rough as you can, you will have total control over me as I beg you for more! I am going to give you what I have given no other 'muscle stud'....my virginity...as the bottom." I told him before leaning down and bending my knees so that I was shorter then him. Then I quickly kissed his lips and used him as support to keep me up. I wrapped my arms around his waist.

Ohhhh! Its been so long! It may have been only a week and a half since I've felt his sweet soft lips but it was still so rejuvenating! It was like receiving a treat you had begged for so long and after months of waiting then you have finally received it.

I was Castiel's! I am his pet! His slave! Whatever I am I was his! I had feared in the back of my mind that Castiel would push away when I did this but he didn't...but then again his arms didn't embrace me either. I waited...praying that he would accept my offer of being the bottom this time.

I couldn't stand the idea of rejection...if Castiel did I-I might actually force him to make love to me! I know that would be doing what he fears I am but...but would it be lust really if you only do it to one person? I mean lust is horrible with other people...but if you only did it with one for the rest of your life...is that itself lust? It shouldn't be, not when both you and the other want the other so badly. I knew I wanted Castiel....but would he want me?

I kissed him for as long as I could before having to take a breath...the instant we parted lips I felt cold...I looked at Castiel who looked completely taken aback and was blushing bright red. I was too but I needed to know...was he ready to go further for me?

We stood there waiting for him to respond...I was shaking in anticipation what would he say?! What would he say?! I felt like I was going to faint any moment until Castiel let out a soft "um" My ears pricked up and I listened...hoping to hear the words I want to hear.

"um....i-...is there....any where...we can do...'it'?" He asked as my body shuddered what was to come but my heart sang of joy knowing by what he means...he doesn't want to have sex here or on the awful beds the crew are given. Still it wasn't the place where we do it...but the fact that he said yes. My skin felt on fire already and we weren't naked yet. I thought for moment before smiling...remembering an important item other than the gold at the bottom of the ship.

"Follow me my mate." I said before swaying my hips for him. The tail swaggered eager to be claim by the human who I claimed before. It was like all the fear I had before...when I first tried to be the bottom had gone away.

We pushed the barrel before aside and silently made our way to the crew quarters then to the lower deck. Castiel was still curious about where we were going but didn't ask out loud. I remember seeing it the first time I came down here, thank goodness the captains demand better beds then the rest. The only thing I wonder about it is why doesn't the crew use the bed instead of those crummy rags upstairs?

Its place was also kind of ironic, beside the bed where our love would form an even stronger bond was the crate I hid the gold so that our love could escape the war. The captains bed was no near the size of the one back home but it would more then suit the needs of a passionate love making.

On every deck there were torches lit in order to let crew members know where they were going. It can get really dark on the lower levels but thankfully the moon was shining just brightly enough above to let my find the nearest unlit torch and set it ablaze again.

Even though there was the smell of salt water in the air the torch was making that smell more bearable. Even though it might not be the most romantic of places to make love it had to due...but even then my heart started to think about how true the situation we had right now fit the room.

Here we were in darkness, having to make love in the most secluded of places but it doesn't matter because we have each other. We were hidden away here from the seas of uncertainty, our love for each other was the only thing that would make us comfortable.

I consider myself the luckiest person to have Castiel in my life. Here he is forced to be in a war, feeling mistreated by all and has every right to hate his mate for all the problems he's facing now...yet he still loves and respects me...for me to possibly even consider throwing away such a person is madness. There are only a few people like him in this world, perhaps he is the only that is why I must treasure him, adore him, claim him as mine.

But it cannot be just a one sided thing...no...that's what makes him the best prize, not something to toss away like a trophy gathering dust. He may be my prize but I was also his prize as well. I was his...I was Castiel's. My body, my soul, and my heart was all his to play with.

My honor....what is it? What is it in the long term? Who really remembers honor? Honor always becomes tainted sometime, honor eventually fades away. But not love...no...true love stays, true love is always flexible, forgiving...memorable.

I want to remember this moment as I have remembered all the other nights we bedded. I cannot name one Michael hero, one story of our honor, or one trophy I have won...but I remember every last detail of each night Castiel and I had made love.

That is why I cannot abandon him...that is why I cannot go back and must stay with him no matter what. I love Castiel more than glory...more than honor...more than anything else in the world. How I wish I had known about this when I was 11...I would taken him the second I met eyes with him.

It was like the whole mood had changed. We were once arguing on the top deck...like we did in school and in public. On the lower deck...where no one can see or hear we are the most passionate of lovers. We were made for each other down here.

Amidst all the useless things around us such as honor or wealth like the crates around us was the bed...the bed of what all we really cared about....each other.

I felt Castiel lean against me from behind and I turned my head as far back as I could so that I could see my mate. Our lips met again only this time...Castiel took total control of mine. I opened my mouth so that our tongues could meet again like old friends. Castiel's soft moist tongue licked the roof of my mouth and I flinched savoring the taste of our combined saliva.

As this was happening I felt his hands playing around with the strings the held up my armor. Even though it was taking awhile I didn't mind, the feeling of this powerful human claiming my jaw for his own would satisfy me for hours.

It did take long for the chest plate to fall to the ground...yes....piece by piece, the things that once kept me from him, the pieces of my old self were gently untied and cast away. I did not miss them I wanted them gone and wanted him to replace it.

Eventually all I had left was my undergarments. I was not embarrassed to show my body in front of the other male like I had done many times before. The armor was my pride...Castiel only had his trousers the bare him that fought me for so long that made me envious of his power.

Yes...if any honor is involved in this....it was my honor to be mated to such a man. A man who loved me so much that even war and near betrayal could not make him hate me. To take his seed...to be beneath him was everything I could ever dream about.

Even though I was taller than Castiel, even though I slightly larger I felt beneath him. When my armor laid on the ground I turned to see him face to face and my legs felt weak. We embraced again and my fur that had so missed the tough but smooth skin Castiel had, stand upright. I was given goosebumps by the very touch of him.

Not to mention he continued to lick all around my defeated maw. The heat was rising not from the torches but from our own bodies. Our hands began to eagerly explored the others body. It was like they had to wipe away any other possible touches before and replace it with our own.

My heart was beating so fast but I could feel Castiels...steady but powerful. Yes...the heartbeat of a champion...my champion. I was at my mates whim, whatever he wants to do he can do. I must be submissive to the powerful male. Eventually whimpers and groans of submissive made their way to my mouth. Oooohhh if this was all just a way to tease me then I submit!

"Claim me Castiel! Oh please mate me!" I said as continued his teasing for a few more moments then pushed me on the bed that I fell on. I motioned my legs only being cover by my undergarments as an invitation for him to get on top and unleash himself upon me.

My heart had never known what to exactly say during my submission so I had to think of all ways and words to put myself down in order for him to feel dominate over me.

"Claim me like the maiden I am Castiel! Give me everything that you got! Even if I beg you to stop keep making love until I faint!" I said as if I was in heat at the moment. Maybe I was, I didn't know my mind could only think about demeaning things to let Castiel takeover on.

(Castiel's view)

"Yuuta..." I softly whispered his name looking at the once proud and strong male beg for my touch like a woman in heat. Not to say that he looked so inviting, so alluring that it nearly wanted me to unleash myself upon him.

I wanted to be on top. I wanted Yuuta to take my seed and feel my length push his insides. I am willing to admit I did think too less of him before, I should have known better then to doubt his feelings for me...but I never expected him to be this submissive and desperate for my touch!

Yuuta had told me all the times before to try to be greedy. I was learning of course and the only I managed to due on my own was to keep him all to myself in my thoughts.

I had worked so hard...so long...it was maddening not to just give up and take something I rightfully deserved! Maybe this is what I wanted....yes...even if it is just for tonight. I know I'll be back to my old self tomorrow but for now...Yuuta...you will be beneath me and you will feel everything I have pent up for the past years.

I crawled on top of him placing my hands firmly on his buff arms and pinning them down letting our covered groins rub against one another as he moaned in submission. He had his eyes closed from the pleasure of his mate taking him but if he thinks this is enjoyable...oh Yuuta...

"I will claim you...You will be all mine!" I said to the tiger under me as actually began to hump against my bulge wanting me to claim him already. It felt slightly awkward for the smaller man to be on top but I didn't care at the moment. Right now all I wanted was to make my power over Yuuta now clear.

"Yes! Yes! I'm all yours! Take me like I'm a common harlet! Make me suffer for all the contests before!" He said mentioning our past. Yes! That's right...the infamous battle between the Rich and The Poor. People like to think that its only the rich that have maddening desires but they are wrong. The poor can have an equal or even greater desire to have something. Sure maybe the poor would want wealth or land like the poor but I wanted something more personal.

My desire was having Yuuta...

"Beg for me Yuuta. Who do you want?" I demanded pressing our chest together making me groan as Yuuta whimpered again. He had to control his desires before answering.

"Ohhh You! Castiel Amiel! Castiel Amiel will make Yuuta Michaels his submissive toy!" He cried out

"Who owns you?" I asked before biting on his neck as it made me shiver and shake. I was wondering for a moment if he couldn't answer back before tail was sweeping my back and he said trying to break away his physical desires.

"Aaahhh! Castiel! Castiel owns me! Oohh I'm his little pussy cat! Oh come on Castiel! Take me now! Please! I beg you!" He said as it was too late. I had him all to myself and there was no turning back.

I flipped him over seeing that sweet back. The bigger male had an excellent view as I claimed that hole of his. I ripped open his undergarments and threw them to the side. Like the eager cat he was his rump was in the air. Ohhh its so enticing and tight! Its just a beautiful sight as it was before when he pushed away. I didn't know if I could hold back if Yuuta tried to push himself away this time. I trust him though, he wouldn't come to me and present this as an apology if he was still uncertain.

I quickly took off my own undergarments and threw them to the side. Here we were both nude and eager to make intense love to the other. The musk was already strong in the air but we were going to create more. I know tigers had a keener sense of smell then humans but I wanted to it to be so thick in the air and for Yuuta to only smell just that!

"I love you Yuuta..." I said to him placing a firm grip on his waist. I felt the curves of his hips. Gods they were so perfect, so muscular and smooth. His fur that perfect blanket that I was going to mess up right now. It was like I had changed into a completely different person right now. The humble and kind me was replaced with the madly dominant me. Yuuta wanted me greedy side right? Well he can have it...

Yuuta placed a firm grip on the bed and sheets that were colored red like the heated passion we had for each other. His claws dug into the mattress as his tail wrapped around my neck like a scarf he made for me out of love. I took a big wiff of his tail smelling my mates scent. Tigers, like all furries, took their tail with pride, for a human to grab onto it is the greatest sign of trust one can give them. I already knew what he was going to say back but I wanted to hear his sweet words.

"I love you too Castiel" He answered as I began to push in and-

My mind whited out. All I could do was gasp and shiver as I felt my mates insides...for a moment I couldn't feel anything. The tip penetration was so strong that I had went numb for a moment.

Yuuta's body jolted and he let out a low howl of submission that brought me back into reality. I felt this feeling of tightness around my length then followed by an incredible amount of heat and moisture. My length was already pulsing with delight of going up Yuuta's once virgin hole. I saw Yuuta's claws dig into the sheets deeply as he let out a few moans of pleasure and pain.

I matched his moans with my own. The deeper he dug his claws into the sheets the harder I gripped his waist. I went in deeper into Yuuta's insides. In my mind I was having a swarm of thoughts and voices going through my head. My dominant side saying "Yeah-he feels amazing! Oh so sweet and obedient! Take him hard!" My lover said "Oh treat this moment with love and respect! Cherish it for the rest of your life!"

Oh gods they are both right! I will remember this day but I will also make this mating hard and intense! Hmph! Yuuta should feel lucky that my length does not have spikes like his does. Mine is smooth and even shorter then his length so it shouldn't be too much to bare...of course I will have to go harder sometime.

Inch by inch I made my way up my mates insides. I had to go as deep as I could he must take my full 7 inches! I have taken his full 10 inches before spikes and all! Now he must take all of me! Yuuta would constantly howl out.

"Oooohhhh yes! Ah! I-Ouph! I love you Castiel! Arck! T-Take me so hard!" He said as I could the red hot blush on his face. I had heat all around me of course but I could definitely feel the blood in my cheeks. I had a small grin on my face as I made the tiger beg for me. Beg for my power. I felt cheated out of my right before now I demand compensation!

(Yuuta's view)

Aaarrgggh!! H-How long is this males length?! Ah-oumph! I-I thought I had the bigger length but it feels like Castiel is easily going on 10 inches by now! I could feel this insanely hot rod in my insides right now!

My once sacred hole was now taken by the sexiest and most powerful human in the world! Oh the way his hands hold onto my hips makes burn hot red! Now as he slowly makes his way up to my prostate I cannot help but cry out in submission of the other male.

"Oooohhh Castiel-! Claim your tiger princess! I-I don't deserve your seed! Your length is-Augh! Amazing!" I said even though in pain I cannot help but feel a way of pleasure after each wave of pain. I-It makes me want more thinking the more pain I feel the more amazing it will later!

I will talk myself down to him. 'Prince Yuuta Michaels' Ha! I was made to take Castiel's length! I want that stud to pregnant me! The Rich get all the material and wealth while the poor can get the rich warriors bodies! Yeah that's how it should be!

"No...Only you will take my seed Yuuta. I love you too much to think you a common whore. NO! You are more then some muscle stud!" He said to me but while he claims me like this its hard for me to see otherwise. Finally after what felt like hours the pain was at a standstill...We each took a moment to catch our breath and to prepare what was to come next.

"I'm all the way in Yuuta." Castiel said as I closed my eyes and kept my rump in the air. I had to- I must to show how much of my pride I am willing to throw away for him! I was wrong to push him away before-He deserves to see me squirm and beg for his length like a female in heat! I cannot think of it any other way!

There was so much of him, so much I didn't prepare for. Oh! H-His length may be slightly smaller but it was better used then mine! His was stiffer, hotter, and stronger then mine! I can only imagine what his seed must feel like! Take me so hard that I faint Castiel!

"Get ready Yuuta." He said to me before I felt the first thrust! I let out a girlish gasp as my body bounced by the force of his thrust. It felt he went even further then the prostate and it was just with the first thrust! My length twitched in excitement and I-I actually began to drool again in lust.

I know I would have never drooled before because I was not ready but now-Now I wanted that hot human to take me like his bitch! I wanted his essence to fill my insides and mark me permanently as the man beneath him.

Suddenly the second thrust, then the third. A steady pattern of thrusts started and my body bounced in rhythm to them. My abs scrunched as I felt Castiel's heat rising and his length go further and further inside of me.

My body was somehow hot but I couldn't feel a thing except for the human's superior length inside of my hole. I actually started to hump back trying to get his length further into me. My mind began to wonder why I was fighting this amazing feeling before when I pushed Castiel away.

Yes I wanted Castiel the second I saw him. If he would have been the one to tackle me down and have at me with all his might when the first race was over I would have gladly accept it. I would have asked if I had not been so cowardly before, to have that handsome human take me would have been my honor.

Castiel was not just some handsome, smart, kind human...he was my mate. The man of my dreams, his will was to be obeyed be me no matter what. Handing over my gold, telling him I loved him, or giving him my body...it was all his!

Castiel's length was so smooth and with his precum already leaking it made it a lot easier for him to thrust deeper into me. His hands explored my back feeling the curves and roughness of my back. He was using only his lower body to thrust into me as I laid there whimpering at his power like a kitten. Our words were not our own and not as cruel as they sounded as we knew we loved the other too dearly to really think bad of the other.

"Oh gods you feel so amazing Yuuta. Oh you dreamed of this moment didn't you?! You wanted this the second you saw me right?! Tell me you wanted me to claim you like a harlet!" Castiel demanded as the air was being knocked out of me with each thrust he took.

"AH-AH! Y-Oh! Yes! Oh I wanted you to claim me like a woman when I saw you! Umph! Y-Your hurting me! It hurts but feels so amazing!" I told him as my insides felt like they were going to burst but as long as he was the one taking me I couldn't care!

"Oh it will hurt but you will love it! This is for all the times you mated me before!"

"Oh yes! Ahrg! Make me suffer for my pathetic attempts in bed before! You are clearly the superior male and bed master!" I cried out as my arms started to feel weak. I was trying to stay on all fours but the force of Castiel's body pressing against mine was breaking my fortitude slowly.

My legs already felt numb as did my hole and now it looks like my arms will give out. Only minutes into our mating and my arms gave in. I collapsed on the bed my length touching my lower abs as it too was leaking pre cum.

"That's right...give into your alpha." Castiel said before laying down on my back completely as his length was still in me. I was his pillow, his blanket! I would be messed up in the morning by his whim! My tiger pride is nothing right now-Now I'm Castiel's mate and I will love it!

"Ohhhh" Words were failing me at the moment. I couldn't talk down to myself anymore. Castiel was stuffing so much into me that it felt like he was taking my breath away.

Castiel kept my arms pinned down with his own as if we were wrestling...yes....thats how it should have gone. I-I think when we get home we should have a wrestle match like this!

I can see it now. It would start out with a heated argument between the two of us...in school or in my room about something unimportant but we would insult the other. Him saying how nobles are lazy and stupid while I shout back he was filthy and weak.

Then we get in the others face and challenge him to our ancient tiger tribal wrestling. In the past tigers like we are now are very physical and adore fit bodies but there was a catch. Tiiger tribals believed that clothes got in the way of wrestling and must be pure in front of the gods...so they would wrestle nude.

I would challenge Castiel and he would accept. Then we go to the gym making sure no one would interrupt as we stripped off our clothes insulting the other still, maybe even insult the others body despite both knowing the others body was perfect.

Then would twist and turn all around the other. His bare body rubbing up against mine as we put the other in submission holds. The match would last a long time as the musk of the battle would be unmistakable.

Then Castiel would settle the match by pinning me down then takes me right there on the ring, hard and intense. We never said what the prize should be at the end of the match so sex was the obvious choice.

But right now I was the loser of this match but I couldn't help but feel like such a winner. Castiel having his chest pressed against my back. His nipples were hard and poked through my fur.

Instead of using unneeded energy Castiel decided to let gravity do the thrust. With me laying down on my belly and Castiel on top of me all he has to do is decide how fast he wants the thrusting to go.

My body jiggled from each plunge into me. I felt like nothing more but a sack for Castiel's length to go into. I bit down on my own tongue trying not to speak, whatever he says to me. When he calls me a harlet he means he loves me dearly! When he insults me position beneath him he's actually thanking me for giving him my body! I had to make sense of this in my mind.

I felt the thrusts getting slower but they kept getting deeper I-it must be a sign that-that he will cum soon! I then heard my name being called by Castiel, I thought he was still telling how pathetic I was right now but...I-it

"A-Augh! Oh gods Yuuta I love you so much! I only called you those things because I wanted the stress gone! Oump! Thank you so much for being mated to me! I love you prince Yuuta Michaels. I love you so much! Oh gods-I-I'm coming!" Castiel said as I felt the stream of pre cum getting stronger it-its!

In unison Castiel and I let out a cry. My seed was spraying up and covering my sheets and my chest. But that felt like nothing compared to the amount of Castiel's seed rushing into me! I was actually swaying my butt still as Castiel's length blasted the last of his seed into me.

The scent of our love...it was all I could smell. I couldn't feel my heartbeat anymore. in my I couldn't believe what I had just done-I-I did it! I-I took his seed! I was beneath him and I never once pushed him away! Thank you Castiel! Thank you! I-

"Argh!" I cried when I felt Castiel bite down on my neck! I was clawing the bed at the last feeling of my mate claiming as his own. Castiel was still talking...saying....such sweet words of love.

"Your so beautiful Yuuta...I love you...I'm so proud, I'll never hurt you like this again...thank you...I love you." Were the last things I heard as my were too heavy to keep open. What tomorrow will bring I do not know. But what I do know is that our love has stronger bond then ever and that I know I would be willing to do anything for him.

I will get him out of this war.
