Half-Blood Chapter XXV

Ian just sighed as he lay on his bed still naked. He was beginning to worry about Lucas, he had been gone for nearly ten minutes... it shouldn't have taken him so long this take a piss. 'Maybe I should check on him...' he thought to himself. He debated it for several minutes before he decided that he would check on the fox. "Hope he's okay, the poor kit has had a hard time the last few days..." He said too himself vocally before he got himself out of bed.

He scurried around the room trying to find a clean pair of shorts to wear, not really wanting to leave the room naked. Greg and Richard had seen him nude plenty of times, but he'd rather not show Erin, Xander or Jonah his privates. After a few minutes of searching he finally found what he was looking for and slipped them on, not bothering with underwear. He kinda hoped he and Lucas could have a bit of 'fun' before the others got home.

Once he was sure he was covered Ian let himself into the communal basement room. It was empty so he figured Greg and Jonah were probably hanging out upstairs. He just shrugged slightly before he started his way to the bathroom. Just when he was about to reach the door his ears flickered when heard some noises coming from the other side of the door. He put his pointed ear to the door and listened in, trying to figure out what it was. It was muffled but it sounded like sobbing. The wolf felt his heart skip slightly. It sounded like Lucas.

"Hey, you okay in there Lucas?" he asked but only got a choked sob in return. 'Yeah, it's definitely Lucas...' he thought to himself before he decided to try again. "Lucas, if you don't answer me right this second I'm coming in there!" He said in a firm voice. But once again he only got a whimper in return. He growled too himself in irritation before he slammed his body into the door forcing it wide open. What he saw made his heart leap into his throat.

Lucas was laying the middle of the room curled around himself. His shoulders were shaking as his body was wracked by sobs. Ian briefly wondered if the kit had seen the phantom of his mother again. "Hey Lucas, you okay? You want to talk about it?" he asked the fox worriedly.

The young fox jumped almost as if he was shocked by the sudden noise. Lucas looked up his pretty blue eyes had an almost dead look in them. He didn't respond immediately to the inquiry, much to the wolf's dismay. In fact Ian wasn't even sure Lucas even knew he was there the fox was so out of it. He was just about to ask the fox again before Lucas responded in a dull, almost lifeless tone.

"Go away Ian..." he muttered.

Ian scowled at that. He was certainly not going to leave the kit alone in this state... he was afraid the fox would do something stupid if he was left alone. So he straightened himself before he spoke to the fox in a commanding tone. "No! I'm not leaving you alone!" And was just about to walk towards the fox and embrace him when he was about to grab the fox he was shocked when he heard Lucas snarl at him.

That caught him off-guard, this was very out-of-character for Lucas from what Ian knew about him. Despite the general moodiness he suffered from, Lucas was never aggressive towards anyone, let alone him, but there he was snarling and growling at him with hackles raised. Ian could only barely make out what the fox said through his growling.

"I said go away!" The tiny fox hollered gazing at the wolf balefully his eyes shining purple in the bathroom light, "Leave me alone Ian! I'm fine!"

Ian just shook his head and stayed where he stood. He was certainly not going to leave Lucas like this. though the fox's eyes sent shivers down Ian's spine and made the fur on the back of his neck stand on end. He shook himself and gathered his courage before he spoke. "No, I'm not leaving you alone..." he repeated calmly. Then he noticed something funny... shadows had started to form behind Lucas. He hadn't paid much mind to them but now they were starting to take an almost solid shape. "Um... Lucas," he started in a nervous tone as the shadows continued to solidify, "I don't know if you know this but something's forming behind you..."

That got the fox's attention and he turned around just in time to see the figure finish its consolidation. It was a terrible looking thing... it looked vaguely wolf-like but it towered over both of the teens... at least 244cm tall... Its eyes were a blood-red and its fur looked to be made of pure shadow. On its back were a pair of massive leathery bat-like wings...

Ian just stood there; frozen in place and to frightened too move... he didn't know what that thing was or where it came from, but all he knew was that thing scared the crap out of him... Lucas hadn't moved almost as if he was transfixed by the creature's gaze... 'I need to get Lucas out' he thought as he just stood frozen in terror. He had no idea what was going on... but he kept his eyes on Lucas. 'I need to get him out of here... but how?' he thought to himself calmly.

He looked around trying to figure out how to get them out of the room but kept drawing a blank. He briefly cursed himself it was Greg who was the combat expert not him... Out of pure desperation he decided that he would blind the creature and grab Lucas, hoping it wouldn't chase after them. Just when he was about to enact his plan he saw Lucas' ear twitch and the fox looked right at the creature as it had spoken to him.

"What are you?" the fox asked the towering creature.

It just made a throaty noise, which Ian assumed was supposed to be a chuckle. Without warning the creature started its assault, flying right towards Lucas. Ian was quick to react however, he quickly sent up a barrier which the creature crashed into, seemingly stunning it in the process. Quick as a flash Ian stood in front of Lucas ready to defend the fox if necessary.

"Lucas, get out of here now!" he ordered the fox while he set his entire focus on the creature, who was just now regaining its own focus. It snarled at the wolf causing Ian's heart to race up his throat in terror. However, Ian just shook himself and snarled right back at the creature, he refused to let his fear to control him. He was going to keep Lucas safe even if he died in the process! Speaking of the fox, Ian felt the fox shake his head before speaking up in a scared, quivering tone.

"I'm not leaving," he stated calmly, "I'm not going to leave you alone..."

Ian just growled out his irritation. Of all times, this was the time when Lucas goes all stubborn on him... The creature was still held back by the barrier, but Ian doubted that it would hold it back for long. In the meantime he turned towards Lucas so he could try to convince the fox to get out of the room.

"Get out of here Lucas, I'll be fine! Go and get Greg! I'll try to hold it back but I'll need his help!"

Lucas however just shook his head stubbornly and refused to budge. Ian just growled again, but his focus was broken when the creature slammed into the barrier shattering it and knocking both of the teens back several feet. "Dammit Lucas, get out of here!" he shouted while he sent a large burst of light towards the creature hoping it would do at least some damage. But as soon as the stream of light hit the creature it dispersed into darkness and was absorbed by the creatures body. This started Ian, he'd never seen something like that happen before. 'Ho-how did that happen? It just absorbed my attack!?' Ian was so absorbed in his own thoughts he didn't even notice the creature had sent a blast of darkness his way until it struck him and sending him crashing into the wall on the other side of the large bathroom, stunning him.

"Ian!" Lucas shouted as he started to run towards the stunned wolf. He had barely managed to avoid getting thrown himself. Ian had hit the wall pretty hard. Just as he was about to reach the wolf; the creature intercepted him and grabbed him before covering the fox with its massive wings before vanishing into thin air with him.

"LUCAS!!!" Ian shouted when he'd recovered from the crash, "Come back! Please!" He shouted as he ran towards the spot Lucas and the creature had vanished. ' Dammit, not again! I failed him again! Who knows what's happening to him now!' Ian thought to himself as tears streamed down his face, staining his dark fur. He was so completely absorbed in his despair that he didn't even hear the loud stomping of Greg and the others storming into the room.

Greg was the first to enter with Monet following shortly behind. She had just greeted the others when they'd heard the loud crashing from downstairs. They were quick to run towards Ian's side. When the wolf didn't respond to his presence Greg quickly shook the wolf but he still didn't respond. Agitated he slugged him; breaking Ian out of his trance in the process.

Ian let out a startled yelp as he fell on his side, glaring at the tiger while he rubbed his sore jaw. "What was that for!? You're supposed to protect me, not hit me!"

"You were totally spaced out... it was the only thing I could think of to knock you out of it! What the hell happened here? Where's Lucas?"

Ian eyes spaced out again before he burst out crying taking Greg by surprise. "Some monster attacked us! It showed up out of nowhere! I tried to fight the thing off and get Lucas to go get you, but it overpowered me and sent me into the wall. While I was stunned it grabbed Lucas and vanished!"

Greg grew livid at that causing Ian to gulp when he noticed the fury behind the tiger's eyes. He was just about to start chewing Ian out for his stupidity before he was knocked off-balance by Erin in her attempt to get to Ian.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A MONSTER GRABBED HIM!? WHERE IS MY BROTHER!?" She shouted while violently shaking the wolf. Ian didn't try and fight back as he just let her shake him. This went on for about a minute until Greg managed to get her off of him. She struggled for a bit in the tiger's arms before giving up.

Ian stayed silent for several minutes before he spoke up his voice shaking as he did the best to keep himself together. "I don't know..." he said in a soft tone, "I can't sense him... he's just gone..."

"What did the creature look like Mansfield?" Monet asked the wolf calmly. She had been listening to the events quietly until now and she was curious about the creature. She thought she might have been able to identify it as she had seen plenty of strange beasties in her day, so she fancied herself quite an expert on paranormal creatures.

"It was a wolf! At least I think it was a wolf... I'm not exactly sure. It had inky black fur, even darker than mine and it was huge! Nearly 244cm at least! It also had massive bat-like wings..." He quickly explained hoping Monet could identify the beast.

The young coyote hummed to herself. She had never heard of a creature like the one the wolf had described. On a hunch she wondered if the beast was even from this world... "Did the beast use any elemental based abilities or attacks?" she asked the shaking wolf.

"He used darkness..." The wolf quickly answered and Monet just nodded to herself one again.

"I think our monster might just be a being from one of the elemental planes... the Dark Plane to be precise. I think it may have used Mason as a gateway of sorts. Dark Mages are connected to that plane of course... if my hunch is correct the beast might have taken Mason back to the Dark Plane..."

"The Dark Plane? I thought the elemental planes were supposed to be devoid of life... are you sure the beast is a being from the EP's?" Greg asked the coyote girl curiously.

"Yes, I am positively sure Moore, it would make sense... The beast used Mason as a gateway and then dragged to the Dark Plain..."

"So, will we ever see Lucas again?" Erin asked feebly, her eyes tearing up.

Monet just shook her head sadly before speaking, "I do not know Erin, I just don't know..." Monet muttered sadly. For the first time in her life she just didn't know what to do, but she was not going to let the others see that... she hated looking weak just as much as she hated feeling helpless... 'Please Mason, come back safely, Mansfield and Erin both need you...' she thought to herself before giving a silent prayer to Hermes for the fox's safe return...

Lucas tried to scream but he couldn't; it felt as if air was unable to get into his lungs. He felt as if he was suffocating and he was beginning to feel light-headed. But just as he felt he was going to pass out he was thrown down on the hard ground while he hacked and coughed as he tried to get air back into his lungs. Once he stopped feeling like his lungs were going to explode he looked up to see his surroundings, his mouth dropping in the process.

He seemed to be sitting on top of what looked like a massive plateau. From his perch Lucas managed to check out the land below. The plateau stood in the middle of what looked like a vast dark wasteland. The fox looked around and as far as he could see was the craggy purple coloured ground. No plant-life seemed to grow and the land seemed dryer than a desert with no obvious watercourses either. The place had a certain haunting beauty to it but, at the same time Lucas felt the fur on the back of his neck stand on end. 'Where the hell am I?' he thought to himself.

'You are in the Dark Plane child, welcome...' A crisp, cold voice rang into the fox's mind causing him to give out a terrified yelp. He grabbed his chest in fright and tried to calm himself down. After he managed to gain control over his breathing, Lucas worked up his courage and turned around to face the presence behind him. When he fully turned around he was shocked to see the creature from the bathroom floating behind him gazing at with cold red eyes.

"The Dark Plane? Why did you bring me here? Take me back home now!" Lucas demanded angrily.

He only got a small smile in return. 'I took you here to test your worth child, I have been watching you for a long time. The strength of your emotions have kept me well fed. Recently, you managed to tap into my power without my knowing. I cannot allow that to continue and I decided to test if you are worthy of my power... if you prove yourself worthy I will take you back to your home realm.'

"And if I fail?" Lucas asked, already guessing the answer in his gut.

'You'll never see your home realm ever again, now prepare yourself!' The creature roared before it sent a massive blast of darkness towards the fox.

Lucas was quick to react and sent a barrier up between himself and the creature. When the blast struck the barrier massive cracks appeared on its surface, but it still managed to withstand the blow. Lucas was knocked back a few meters by the impact but he quickly managed to get back up on his hind-paws. He felt shaky but he thankfully managed to hide it.

'Hmm, pretty good, now, let us try again!' The creature muttered in Lucas' mind before sending another burst of darkness towards the fox which shattered the barrier completely and knocked Lucas back even further. He staggered back several steps before he managed to catch himself, before he sent his own blast of darkness towards the creature. This caught the creature off-guard and it gave out a pained grunt in return. 'I'm impressed you're stronger than you look child.'

The praise caught the fox by surprise, he hadn't expected that, "Um, thank you?" he replied warily not taking his focus away from the beast for a second. He kept moving, preparing himself for another attack. "So, what are you exactly?" he asked the creature.

'I will tell you when you prove yourself worthy...' The creature spoke before sending several small bursts of darkness towards Lucas.

The fox quickly sent up another barrier. It took a few hits before it shattered sending the boy flying back by at least 5 meters landing on his back with a loud thud. He gave a small yelp before he staggered to his feet. He was panting lightly but he held firm. He quickly caught his breath and ran towards the creature sending several dark blasts at it. When he noticed the creature was charging another attack. He quickly dodged just as it let the attack go, but the sheer force of the blast passing nearly knocked Lucas off his feet despite not being hit by it. The force was so great however when it exploded, it blew Lucas off of the edge sending him plummeting towards the ground.

"Fuck!" he cried out while was falling, 'What am I going to do?' He thought to himself before something clicked in his mind. 'Wait, I could teleport like I did against the Cabal! But how?' Quickly he let a vision of the plateau enter his mind's eye. He concentrated hard on that image and just as he was about to go splat on the ground... he felt himself be absorbed into the darkness completely before he was deposited back where he stood earlier. 'Whew, that was close...'

'Good job, let's see if you if you can keep this up!' The creature roared before it sent out hundreds of dark bolts towards the fox.

Lucas quickly started to teleport all around the plateau dodging the dark bolts while returning with his own strikes. This continued for several minutes until the beast let out a deafening roar with a gigantic wave of dark energy. Lucas quickly attempted to teleport away but before he could vanish into the darkness he was hit and was rendered completely immobile. He collapsed into himself. He tried to move his body several times but he couldn't get it to respond. After several minutes of not moving Lucas began to panic and struggled even more but he still wasn't able to budge. He eventually gave up and just waited for the creature to land the finishing blow, just closing his eyes and waited... but it never came.

The creature just sat down gently next to his helpless body. Lucas just whimpered, confused at was going on. He gave out a large yelp when the creature gently picked his helpless body and placed the fox onto its lap... 'You did well child, I'm impressed...' it muttered into the fox's tired mind as it gently petted his head.

Lucas couldn't help but murr at the sensation, but he was still confused. "You're not going to finish me?" he asked the creature gently. It... No he... Lucas was just now noticing the creature's maleness prod between the fox's clothed backside and the creature's loincloth making the wolf blush crimson.

'No,' came the creature's solemn reply.

"But I failed didn't I? You won!" Lucas asked.

Once again he just got a small chuckle in reply, 'I never expected you to win... I just wanted to see if you could prove yourself. Something you did admiralty. You have a lot of potential child.'

"Err... thank you. But really, what are you?" he asked the creature, "And do you have a name?" he asked tired of calling the creature a thing...

'I have no name that can be translated to your language...same for my species, but you may give me a name if you wish.'

Lucas pondered on that for several moments. What name could he give the beast? He kept on drawing a blank until something came into his head. "I think I might just have a name for you... how about Noctis? If my Italian is correct Nocte means night... which fits you."

'It does, does it?' Noctis commented gently while continued to stroke behind Lucas' ears.

All the fox could do is murr in pleasure while he struggled to string his thoughts together. Finally after several minutes of silence he managed to regain his voice. "I'd like to think so..." he muttered contentedly. However, that contentment was short-lived when Ian re-entered his thoughts. "Can you send me back?" he asked the massive wolf, "Ian must be worried sick..." he said softly. He felt kinda guilty. He had worried the wolf enough these past few days.

There was a brief pause before Noctis spoke. 'You care for this wolf dearly, don't you?' Lucas just nodded gently. He did care for the wolf. Ian had been so amazing and he owed him so much... saying he cared about the fox was putting it lightly, and that scared Lucas more than he was willing to admit. 'Then yes, I will send you back... if you ever need me, just summon me...'

Lucas just nodded briefly before asking one last question. "You said I managed to borrow your power without your knowing right... was it when I snapped?" he asked, hoping that Noctis could explain his brief insanity.

Sadly, all he got wad a curt shake of the head. 'No, your usage of my powers was after that, what power you were under was beyond even my understanding. You used my powers to bring illusions of your deceased mother to torment yourself...'

Lucas just frowned, crushed at having his question left unanswered. But at the same time another question was answered. "So, those visions of my mom came from you? What about my other visions? Did they also come from you?"

Once again he only got a shake of the head in reply. 'No, those visions come from another source inside you, one I cannot reach... now I will send you home. Good-bye Lucas.' Noctis said before all went black...

~~~~

"He's back! Thank Zeus he's back!" Was the first thing Lucas heard when he regained consciousness. He felt a pair of thick pair of arms wrapped around his body and a wet feeling on his face. He opened his eyes tiredly to see that Ian was the one holding him. They were no longer in the bathroom, instead they seemed to be lying back in Ian's room. Lucas could also vaguely make out several other figures standing around him.

One of the figures eventually spoke up. "Yes, we are all are very happy that Mason is back Mansfield, but will you let me check up on him... I want to make sure that his time in the Dark Plane caused any adverse effects on his body..." The tone and cadence sounded like Monet.

Ian just raised his head and looked towards the voice and nodded before uncurling from around the fox. "Sure," the wolf said as he got off the bed.

Once he was out of the way Monet was quick to start her inspection of him. She made him sit up straight while she felt all of his body with various "hmms" and "ahs" while she did so. Eventually once she was satisfied she let go of him and stepped back. "We are lucky, Mason seems to be in excellent shape... so, what happened to you in the Dark Plain? What was that creature that attacked you and Mansfield?" she asked him coolly.

"You mean Noctis?" he asked her back. All he got was a few puzzled looks before he realized they didn't know what he was talking about causing him to blush and rush to explain himself... "He let me name him! And um... he didn't really explain what he was. Something about the name not translating well into English or something... he apparently has been watching me for a long time..."

"So you have some kind of magical stalker? Cool!" Erin stated in a cheerful tone.

"He isn't a stalker! Well, not really... he said he got energy from my emotions or something..." He muttered before turning towards Ian before facing the others again, "Um, but can you guys leave? I want to talk to Ian... alone." He stated looking directly at his sister.

Xander was the first to catch on and he smiled gently before turning towards the rest of the gang. "Let's leave these two alone for a while, why don't we...?" he said while dragging Erin out of the room.

Lucas could have sworn he saw the other fox give him a tiny wink before exiting the room completely still dragging the struggling vixen behind him. The rest quickly filed out leaving him and the wolf alone. A very awkward silence reigned for several minutes before Ian decided to break it. "So, what do you want to talk about love?" the wolf asked him while he gently licked around the tip of Lucas' very sensitive ear.

The fox just shivered in delight before he eventually managed to push the teasing wolf away, "I want to talk about us..." Lucas said shyly.

Ian gave him a worried look before inquiring with an, "Oh?"

"Yeah, you've been so kind towards me; and I care about you very much... so, I uh... I wa-wanted to a-ask yo-you if you wa-wan-wanted to ma-mate me...?" The young fox boy asked as if humiliated. He looked away afraid that he might of offended the wolf somehow, but instead of yelling he got a gentle paw grasp his face forcing him to look into Ian's tender green eyes.

"Are you sure?" The Wolf asked him gently, "I've been wanting to take you for a long time, but I didn't want to make you uncomfortable... are you absolutely sure you want me to take you're virginity? It's probably going to hurt you know?" He explained to the fox.

Lucas could hear the wolf's thundering heartbeat and smelled the heady musk coming from his body. He was absolutely sure this was what he wanted so he just gave a shaky nod before exclaiming. "Yes, I don't think I've been as sure about something in a long time..." He tried to look away from the wolf but Ian maintained his firm but gentle hold on Lucas' face.

"Don't be bashful, I'll be glad to be your first..." Ian stated before he lightly kissed the other boy. "I love you so much Lucas, and I will do anything to make you happy." He stated before he removed Lucas' shorts and underwear in one fell swoop rendering the fox nude in front of his hungry eyes. "But first things first, we'll need to loosen you up a bit or else you'll never be able to fit me!" He stated just as he shoved one of his fingers into the fox's quivering tailhole, forcing a gasp from the fox.

"Oh god!" the fox panted out as the clawed digit brushed against his prostate. He just kept on whimpering as Ian pushed against the nub over and over again until the wolf added another finger and then another. This went on for several minutes and Lucas felt like his head was going to explode in pleasure until Ian removed those wonderful fingers from his rear forcing a disappointed whimper from his mouth. Ian just chuckled at that before he kissed the fox again, this time much more forcefully than before.

"Now, let us get a taste..." Ian stated, smiling lewdly before he moved down and placed his head between Lucas' spread thighs.

"Ian, what are you..." he asked before he was cut off by the feeling of Ian's broad tongue lap around his puckered hole. He literary convulsed under the feeling of the wolf's skilful tongue teasing his hole. "Oh god Ian! Oh fuck!" he panted, his own tongue was lolled towards the side as the wolf's tongue burrowed into his depths. The pleasure was intense... far better than anything he'd ever felt before. All he could do was thrust against the wolf's face forcing his tongue deeper and deeper into him. He shivered when he felt and heard Ian growl in a dominating manner while Lucas himself just whimpered and murred submissively in return. This continued for several minutes and Lucas was brought closer and closer to an explosive orgasm but he didn't want to cum yet... he wanted Ian tied and inside him before that. "Ia-Ian! St-stop! I want you inside me! Pl-please, I ne-need you!" he panted out.

Ian was quick to remove his mouth from the fox's hole. Lucas let out a sad whimper at that but Ian kissed him gently before he aligned himself right between Lucas's firm cheeks, "I'm going push in now, try and relax... this is going to hurt..." he said before pushing his tip in. Lucas gave a pained hiss as he felt Ian's penis enter him and stretch him wider than he'd ever been stretched before. Ian immediately stopped when he heard Lucas hiss and licked the boy's nose and muzzle lovingly. "You okay?" he asked worriedly.

Lucas just nodded and let out, "Ye-yeah, I'm okay... just go slow okay?" Ian licked his nose and nodded in reply before he started to move again his penis moving deeper into Lucas.

The fox just held onto the wolf tightly when he felt Ian's forming knot press against his ass. "Gods, you're so tight Lucas..." Ian moaned into Lucas' ear. Once he was sure Lucas was ready the wolf began to thrust in and out of the fox driving him nearly mad with pleasure. The wolf's penis kept on hammering the fox's prostate over and over and all Lucas could do was urge the wolf to go harder. Taking the hint Ian began to increase his pace until he was slamming into the fox at breakneck speeds. Lucas was so blissed out he hardly noticed that the wolf's knot had grown larger and was slowly but surely forcing its way inside.

"Oh Ian, go harder please!" Lucas cried out as his prostate was being battered mercilessly.

All Ian could do was growl, unable to speak, but he obliged and increased his pace once again. The sound of flesh slamming against flesh rang inside the room as Lucas just gave out submissive whines. He was so blissed out he didn't even notice that Ian's massive knot slowly spreading him wide. Ian himself was rendered to a sex-crazed beast and the only thing he cared about at the moment was burying his knot. With that in mind he began to put much more force into his thrusts until... *POP*! His knot finally entered the fox's rump, crushing his prostate in the process which triggered Lucas' orgasm. He let out an ear-splitting howl as his eyes slid back into his head his seed painting both of their tummies.

The fox's ass tightened in orgasm and just before he emptied his own seed the muzzle clamped down around Lucas' throat as his thrusts became desperate until finally he couldn't hold it back. With a mighty roar he emptied his seed into the fox filling him completely. After his orgasm was complete Ian just collapsed onto the fox. He let go of the fox's throat and panted.

The two just laid there for several minutes a sticky sweaty pile until Lucas broke the silence, "*Pant!* That was amazing! *Pant!*" He managed.

Ian just nodded against the nape of the neck, "Yes, it was... I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked the fox in a worried tone.

Lucas just shook his head. It hurt at first yes, but after the initial pain it was all pleasure. He'd never felt so full before and he swore his stomach looked almost distended. He just poked at his belly and felt Ian's seed swoosh inside him.

"Are you absolutely sure?" the wolf repeated.

Once again Lucas replied with a shake of the head, "I'm fine you silly wolf! So um... how long do you take to deflate?"

"About fifteen to twenty minutes... we'll be here for a while."

Lucas was just about to reply before... *FLASH!* A bright light filled the room and a faint giggle rang from behind them. In shock they both turned around and saw Erin standing right by the closed door cell-phone in hand and a naughty smirk across her muzzle. Ian gave out a pathetic yelp as he tried to separate himself from Lucas forgetting they were tied together for a moment only to get a pained whine from the other canine.

"Sorry..."

"No problem," Lucas responded back gently before turning his attention towards the smirking vixen, "What are you doing in here Erin?" he asked her calmly trying to hide just how embarrassed he felt. When he'd thought of his first-time he always thought he would be enjoying the afterglow not wondering what his sister was doing in the room.

She just giggled lightly before speaking, "I was voted by the others to go and tell you two quiet down... we heard the entire thing... and I just happened to walk in just as he shoved that knot into you... how did you even fit that thing...?" She stated, drifting off for a bit, before bringing herself back on topic. "Anyway, yeah... you guys forgot to cast a silencing spell... so um... yeah, we heard everything... just to let you know," she said quietly.

Lucas just felt his face heat up and he felt almost sick to his stomach... his first-time was heard by everyone... How was he going to face everybody now? Ian must have been thinking the same thing because he just out a scared little whimper from his thought.

Just then a thought flashed in his mind... on instinct he looked Erin right in the eye and asked, "Why did you take a picture...?"

She just gave a small shrug before replying, "Well, I wanted proof so I could win that bet!" she stated cheerfully. Lucas just let out a angry growl and she just gave a frown, "What?"

"Erin I love you, but if you don't get out of here right now I swear I might do something I regret!" he threatened.

Erin was just about to make a smart comment back before she saw he was deadly serious. She shivered briefly before she turned and started towards the door. Just before she left the room she turned and spoke, "Geeze, no need to get angry... sorry! I'm leaving!" Before she walked out and shut the door.

An awkward silence rang between the two before Ian spoke up, "Well, that was awkward..." he stated and Lucas burst out laughing.

That had to be the understatement of the century... "I'm so sorry about that..."

Ian just licked his nose and replied, "No prob... but other than the interruption it was perfect... I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as I did."

Lucas just nodded, "Yeah, I enjoyed myself quite a bit..." He paused, thinking of what he wanted to say. Eventually he worked up the courage and blurted out. "I love you!"

Ian just let out a "huh?"

So Lucas repeated himself, "I love you...!"

Ian's eyes lit up at that, "Do you mean it?" he asked the fox. When he saw Lucas' brilliant grin spread across his face and he kissed Lucas passionately enough to make his toes curl. They kissed for several minutes until they both broke apart for breath. Ian snuggled Lucas close and kissed again. "I love you to Lucas... so very much and you've made me the happiest wolf on Earth..." he said before dozing off.

Lucas just snuggled and followed suit. He felt happier than he had ever felt before... he just hoped things stayed the way it was...

~~~~

Greg just sighed as he stepped into the bathroom. Today had been tiring... first some being from another plane had kidnapped Lucas, then the kit showed back up and then he had to listen to Ian and Lucas fuck each other's brains out... that was very awkward. So much so he could barely look either teen in the eyes, though they seemed to have the same problem to. He hated to admit it but he was almost jealous of the wolf. He had found love and Greg was here all alone. He quickly shook himself from those thoughts. 'You are a Protector, the charge's happiness comes first, second and third. You're happiness comes last. You know this!' he thought to himself, but then he sighed, 'Still, it would be nice to have a girlfriend... but at the same time I can't afford the distraction... I have to my focus on Ian...'

The tiger quickly stripped and started the shower. This was the only time he had any sense of privacy and his balls were blue. He needed relief and he just didn't feel comfortable wanking off in his room with Xander there. He shivered a bit when he stepped into the shower and he grabbed his hardening member teasing the barbed length gently, 'Oh Eros! I needed this!' He mentally shouted out as he began to stroke even faster. His pre-cum poured from his cock and increased the pleasure even more. He was so absorbed in his pleasure he didn't notice the door open and an embarrassed meep from someone.

He had neglected to lock the door. Finally after about a minute or two he was sent over the edge and he came so hard it almost hurt. He had to bite his bicep to stifle the enormous roar he let out as him cum splattered against the shower wall and he just leaned against the other wall and panted. Silence rang for several seconds before he heard clapping breaking him from his post orgasmic bliss.

"Quite a show Stripes!" a voice called out.

He groaned out-loud he knew that voice... "Erin, what are you doing in here?" he asked the pretty vixen standing near the door.

"I had to take a pee and Allison was using the bathroom upstairs... the door was unlocked so I walked in... but I must say... you've got a nice body..." she stated walking up closer to the trapped tiger, "And if your paw ever gets boring I'd be more than glad to help you out."

Greg had to raise an eyebrow at that, "Are you propositioning me Erin? What would your brother think?"

"Maybe, and I doubt he'd care... but the offer stands big boy..." She moved over to the toilet as his eyes tracked her.

She demurely dropped her panties and settled on the appliance with her skirt covering any view he may guiltily have caught before she winked and the sounds of additional waters falling joined the shower's cadence in the steamy air of the bathroom. Rolling a pad of paper around her paw she reached under her skirt and with a quick wipe, stood. "Well I did say I needed a pee after all," she stated, bending over and cocking her tail enough so forbidden shadows were glimpsed by his frozen eyes as she pulled her panties up again and flushed, "I will leave you to that again though this time, the others would wonder at my absence," she said, pointing at his crotch before leaving, closing the door with a snick that snapped him out of his trance.

Greg stared at the closed door until he noticed he was hard again. "Dammit!" he cursed. "Oh well, I think I might have time to rub another out before the water turns cold," he muttered to himself!
