Lessons Learned
This is my first yiff story. Based on a chat I had with Carlevin awhile ago. I'm really happy with it, and hope to have more stories in the future involving these characters. Nerikull is (c) his creator, Carlevin is (c) his creator/owner, and Ky' is (c) her creator/owner. Carlevin is credited as co-author, because without him, I couldn't have written this. All characters are of age.
- * * The tiger had made sure everything was in place for that night. It had been awhile since he had taken anyone under his "guidance", and he was going to do it up right. This night, it wasn't just any random encounter, he had been asked to instruct someone he knew, and knew that had been seeking his services. He though back a few days. A friend of his, an ocelot he knew as Ky', had been over to his spacious home for a visit. "You do know that he talks about you a lot?" she said. "I really think you should invite him in for a night." "I don't know, Ky'." he grumbled. "I'm not all that young anymore..." "You are in your mid-thirties. You are not old." she giggled. "Besides, you are better built than most twenty-something felines out there." "Still, would he be receptive? I don't want to frighten him. Enlighten, yes. Give him a night to remember, by all means! But I just don't know...I mean..." his voice trailed off. "Feh, listen to you! For someone who is referred to as 'Master', you are not sounding very confidant." Ky' said with a little smile. "You won't be just giving him something to remember, but you will be doing me a favour as well." Nerikull puzzled over that. "What favour would that be?" She snickered a bit and whispered in his ear, "Just say that you will do this..." His name was Carlevin. The young tiger was dressed in a collared shirt and dress slacks, looking very much like he was going for a night on the town. He had paid the cab driver and was now standing before this huge house, holding an invitation from the owner. He had seen Nerikull before many times in the past; sometimes when his father and uncle were handling some kind of business transaction. The one thing that stuck in his head was when he saw the older white-furred tiger in the locker room of the health club they went to. He remembered the muscular body, the way he walked, the confidence he exuded, and...he smiled at the memory of another physical attribute the feline had. As he walked to the door, he thought of the other thing that he had heard. He wasn't sure where or when he heard it, but he had heard someone refer to him as "Master Nerikull" one time. He wasn't sure why then, but he had an idea. It excited him and unnerved him at the same time. A thought ran through his mind: "What am I getting into?" He was at the door now. He rang the bell... The white tiger opened the door and smiled at the younger feline standing there. He could sense the nervous anticipation and help his hand out. "Ah, Carlevin! Welcome." They shook hands and Carlevin walked in. They walked through the huge house. Nerikull showed the young tiger through room after room, smiling and telling him about this item or that. Before long, they were in the lower floor. They were walking down a hallway with one door to the left, and one ahead. There was no where else to go from there. Nerikull noticed that his guest's curiosity was piqued. "Something on your mind, Carl?" "I-I was wondering about the doors here." he said, nodding down the hallway. "I'm thinking that there is a reason you invited me." He noticed that the large white tiger was staring at him; his ice blue eyes piercing through, as if he could see his thoughts. He wondered...did he know? Nerikull smiled at the feline, and set his drink down. "I wish to...do something for you." He walked to the door on the left and opened it, motioning Carlevin to enter. He did, and saw that except for a couch and a chair, it was a small, empty room. Nerikull sat on the couch and motioned for the young feline to sit on the chair. "I...wish to give you something. An experience, if you will." The smile had gone and was replaced with stark seriousness; his voice was all business. "This is not something that I do for just anyone, nor would I do this without being sure that you would be receptive to it. "What I offer is more than...just a night of pleasure. I wish to show you something of yourself." he said. "The experience is unique for everyone. I cannot say what will happen should you decide to enter the other room, but I will say that it could be...profound." The younger tiger licked his lips and fidgeted slightly. His mind was racing and his pulse was rising. He wasn't sure if you actually wished for his voice to sound as it did, but he spoke. "I think I would like that." Nerikull stood. His face had a little smile playing across it. He reached to the side of the couch and brought up a small timer. "Very well. I will set this to ten minutes, and leave the room. In that time, you can collect your thoughts, and prepare to enter the other room." As he turned to leave, the older tiger said. "Just two more things: You must leave your clothes...all of them...in this room. Also, should you enter the other room...there is no leaving it. Do you accept this?" "Yes...yes, I do." He set the timer on the arm of the couch. "Then, I will see you in ten minutes." With that, he walked out of the room, leaving Carlevin alone. Nine minutes had passed. He was standing in the small room, naked and nervous. He knew a little of why he was there, and he really was looking forward to what he hoped would be an incredible night of sex. He could not shake off what was said, though. There was an aura of more than just his hoping for fun. He had to keep his desires inside for fear of what could happen. He did not want to be labelled because he loved and desired other males. He feared the backlash against him if anyone knew. He looked at the timer: thirty seconds. Part of him wanted to grab his clothes and just run, but part of him wanted...no, needed to know...what was in the room? What could he be taught? More than that, what was there to fear? The timer beeped, and he made up his mind. His pulse was fast, and he hoped he wouldn't pass out before he left the small bare room. He opened the door, went into the hall...facing the only other door in there. He took a deep breath, and opened it. The room was large and open. The lighting was a bit dim, but allowed him to see everything there. He could see that there were two constants: leather and steel. Padded benches and chains with leather cuffs attached, wooden paddles hanging from the wall, near the middle of the room was a large X shaped device with cuffs built onto it. Standing in the centre of the room was Nerikull. The tall muscular white-furred tiger was wearing leather cuffs on his ankles, wrists, and arms, a leather harness on his chest, and leather belt around his waist, and nothing else, save a small leather strap around his genitalia. "Welcome to the den. I'm glad that you have chosen to enter this space." His eyes, shimmering from where he stood, were slowly looking over the young naked tiger. He walked to where Carlevin was standing, saying nothing. "You have chosen to enter my realm. Here, I control all." He took a leather collar from a post near the door and fastened it around Carlevin's neck. "From this point on, you will call me 'Master', as I am the Master of this realm. Do you understand and accept this?" Carlevin gulped, but his voice was clear. "Y-yes Master." His mind was spinning, and could hardly hold onto a thought, but he was resolved to see this through. "Very good..." Master Nerikull's voice was underscored with a thrumming purr that, to the younger feline, intensified the feeling in the room. He took several leather straps and began to put them on Carlevin: one around the upper thigh, one on the upper arm, one just at the base of the tail, and a slender one around his member and sac, cinching that one up a bit tighter. "I do not like to refer to my charges as slaves. I'm not thrilled with that connotation." The Master looked straight into Carlevin's emerald green eyes. "I will refer to you as...my pet." He led the young feline toward the X. "One more item you will know. Should at anytime you find that you cannot go though with something and truly want it to end, you will speak the word 'green' three times. Do you understand me, pet?" Carlevin nodded, "Yes, Master. I understand." With that, Master Nerikull pushed his 'pet' to the X so that his back was against the padded surface. As the Master secured him hand and foot to the X, he felt the cool leather on his back and buttocks, and shivered a bit. He had no idea what was to happen, but he wasn't about to let fear get to him. Despite this, the uncertainty remained. The Master took a step back to look at his 'pet'. His purr had not stopped since the younger tiger had entered. He could see that his 'pet' was becoming aroused, even though he could see the conflict on the tigers face. "Hmmm, you seem a little...tense. Perhaps I can do something about that." He walked up and pressed his body against Carlevin and began to nibble at the bound feline's ears. He could feel him straining against the restraints a bit as he worked, a little shudder working through his body. "Still so tense...the release will do him good" the Master thought as he worked his 'pets' ears with tooth and tongue. Carlevin's thoughts were running wild. He was so incredibly turned on yet he couldn't let go of the nervousness. He just wanted to scream out and let whatever happened, happen. "I just want him...why am I scared?" he thought. Master Nerikull had moved down from the ears to the neck, alternately nibbling and licking, his purr enhancing every touch the larger tiger made. He worked around under Carlevin's chin, biting lightly at his fur before he thrust his tongue into the bound tiger's mouth in a deep passionate kiss. At this, the young feline began to purr despite himself. The kiss went on for several minutes before the Master broke off. He still had a little smile on his face as he looked at his 'pet'. "Are you enjoying this, pet?" He pressed against Carlevin's body and rubbed his crotch against the tiger's, getting a low moan in response. "Ah, that would be..a yes?" "Mmmmrrr...yes, Master..." "Well, then..." He held his paw up and extended his claws. "...I think you will find this...interesting." He took a step back and began to run his claws up and down the bound feline's chest, just making enough contact to make him gasp but not break skin. He worked up and around the chest, across the nipples, down along the sides and around to the stomach and back up again, always keeping just above the groin. He noted that Carlevin was reacting well to his touch, but still holding back. He ran along the lithe body of the tiger twice more before he started to work a bit closer toward his member. The older tiger pulled his claws in and playfully ran his paws around Carlevin's navel. "You did enjoy that, pet. Perhaps I should..." He ran a single finger down the feline's chest, then to the stomach, almost to his waist. "M-Master..." he whispered, eyes mostly closed, anticipating Nerikull's touch. The Master tiger abruptly brought his paws up, claws extended and pressed them to the younger cat's face, forcing him to open his eyes. The Master was now nose to nose, his piercing blue eye staring into his deep green, and a spasm of fear knotted his innards. "Mrrr, no. Not yet!" His voice had a rough edge now, asserting his dominance. "You are not ready, nor deserving yet." He backed off the younger tiger, and looked him over. He could see the expression of shock on his face, wondering if he had done something wrong. "If you are wondering, it's not what have you done...more like what you haven't done." He walked to the X and quickly took the restraints off, and led the tiger a few steps from it. "You are holding back and not allowing yourself this." He put his hands on the trembling feline's shoulders, staring a hole through him. "It's time to take you to a new level...a darker place." The Master then turned Carlevin around and pushed him chest first into the X, swiftly binding his arms and legs to the device. He then walked away leaving him there alone for a few minutes. Carlevin shifted his head from side to side, trying to see something...anything. His mind was awash in questions, and he had no answers. One question was burning in his mind: what was this dark place? He bit his lip as he pondered this. He heard Master Nerikull walk up after a time, and shuddered. The fear in his stomach amplified as the large tiger put a blindfold over his eyes. He gasped and his breath belied his fear. "Master...I...I..." He heard the voice directly in his ear "You are feeling something? Tell me, pet...what do you feel?" "I...I'm afraid, Master." his voice came out as a whisper despite himself. The Masters voice was in his ear again. "I know you are, pet. I also know why." The young feline became aware of something being moved along his back. "I cannot tell you why you fear, but I will help you to see it...face it...and let it go." Carlevin arched his back a bit as the Master continued to run the items along his back, then it hit him just what it was...two leather whips. The fear hit him hard, and he almost gave in at this point, having to bite his lip to keep from saying the keyword. Instead, he heard himself saying, almost begging, "P-please...Master...I...can't...ca-AH!" He inhaled sharply as the whip fell across his back. It didn't hurt physically; as he would reflect later, it was never meant to. His mind was in a torrent of emotions. Nerikull slowly worked a crossing pattern, on whip, then the other, up and down the back. The bound feline struggled and arched as the lashes fell, faster, but with no more force than before. He felt the growing warmth on back, and a tingle everytime it landed. "Why do you hold back? You beg for release...should I release you?" the Master's voice came from behind. "M-Master...please...re-release...please..." He couldn't understand why his voice wouldn't go beyond a near whisper. "I cannot, pet...only you can bring release. Look inside, pet...what are you holding on to?" He increased the speed of the lash; left to right. For a moment...he saw something... He saw himself hanging from...a cliff? He was surrounded by darkness...everywhere he looked, it seemed he would be consumed if he let go of his tenuous grip. The vision lasted just a moment, but he wondered...was this what he meant? Is this the dark place? He returned to the now, and still felt the lashes working on his back. Nerikull stopped, and the bound tiger felt something behind tied to his tail. He felt his tail being lifted and figured that the Master was securing to the collar on his neck. He then felt cold leather against his buttocks. Nerikull rubbed the small padded paddle along the pet's bottom. "You see the darkness now?" he asked, remarking on the shivering from his charge. "Dark...high...I-I can't let go..don't....please.." "Just let go, pet." With that, he tapped the paddle against the left cheek, then the right. "The fear is holding you back...you cannot go on until you let go..." ...left...right...left...right... He strained against his bonds, his emotions running wild. ..left..right..left..right.. "I don't want him to stop...I don't want to fall...I'm scared and don't know why!" he thought. His breath came out in short bursts as the paddle continued to go faster. "Let go, pet..." .left.right.left.right..left.right.left.right. "Just..." .leftright..leftright..leftright..leftright. "...let..." leftright leftright leftright leftright "...go..." leftrightleftrightleftright "Nnngg...ahhh...aaaAAAHH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A long, loud primal sound, more a howl than a roar came from the tiger, he threw his head back as he screamed out. A moment, and his vision saw him again hanging from the heights. He saw himself let his claws come away from the surface and it crumbled to dust. He saw now that he was indeed stripped bare; body, mind, soul exposed... He fell...and he was unafraid. The darkness around him gave way to light as he returned to the now, and felt the larger tiger pulling the blindfold off. He went to each restraint and released the smaller feline with a practised speed and grace. He stepped back and caught Carlevin as he slumped back from the X, and embraced him tightly. "Yes, my pet...that's it! Release it all, no fear...just let it out." Carlevin looked up at the older tiger, and just started sobbing. "Th-thank..you...Master..." They sat there, wrapped around each other, the younger feline pouring out his emotions, the older quietly supporting him. After a time, Carlevin's emotions settled down, and he just allowed himself to be held by his Master. His thoughts were clear, and he felt nothing holding him down. Nerikull gently stood up and motioned for him to remain, and he went to the other side of the room, returning with a bottle of water. He knelt and opened the bottle, tipping it to his pet's lips. "Here, drink slowly. You will feel better." Carlevin did so, his emerald green eyes half open as he accepted the drink from the larger feline. "You did very well. Few ever get so far so fast." He stroked the side of the tiger's face gently and smiled. He stood again, stretching and cracking his neck. He looked down at Carlevin and said "Stand up." His voice still held an authority to it, but this time there was a gentle tone as well. The young feline did so without hesitation. The Master led his pet to another part of the room and stopped at the bed. "You are ready...and you are deserving." He pointed to the bed, and nodded. "On your back." He did so, shivering a bit as he felt the coolness of the fabric on his still-sensitive back and bottom. He watched his Master bending down to retrieve something from a night stand nearby, and noticed he was holding a plastic tube and a pair of leather wristbands. "You have done well, my pet. I wish to show you more, help you to explore further than you ever have dreamed. I need only know this..." he ran his paw gently under his pet's chin and down his chest. "Do you freely submit yourself to me?" "I do, Master...freely." His still-young voice now held new strength; a bit raw from his earlier encounter, but stronger for it. He straddled the smaller tiger's midsection and took an arm in hand, gently putting the wristband on, then to the other arm. "Very good, pet..." he ran his tongue down the middle of Carlevin's body from the throat to the navel, causing the pet to arch up. "I will reward you tonight..." He continued until he was just above his pet's member. He could hear the moan of pleasure as he worked around the base of the shaft and his sac. He worked slowly up the underside of the now erect member, his purrs adding a vibration to the textured surface of his tongue. Carlevin inhaled sharply as he felt his Master's lips form around his organ and the sudden suction as he worked. He worked at this for awhile, then pushed the smaller tiger's legs back to expose his posterior. He ran his tongue along the underside of the sac, and then in a circular pattern around his orifice. This caused the young tiger to arch more, as he had never felt anything like it before. Nerikull tightened the pattern until he was right on the sphincter, running the textured surface over and over the hole. "You like that....yes...you will like this more, pet." He came up and placed a large, firm pillow up under the small of Carlevin's back, elevating his lower body. He then took the lube and spread some on his left paw and began to work his fingers into the tiger. The younger feline gasped and arched up a bit. "A bit cold, my pet...but it will heat up soon." said the Master tiger. The pet closed his eyes and relaxed his muscles, allowing the probing fingers to work their way deeper. His body arched in sync with the larger tiger's motions as one hand was working on his member, the other preparing him for the culmination of this night. All he wanted now was for his Master to take him, to fill him, to fuck him. His body felt as if it were fire. Master Nerikull shifted himself in front of his pet and positioned himself, adding lube to his erect member. He sensed the anticipation and smiled. Rubbing the tip of his penis against the tiger's hole, he deepened his purr. "Say to me, my pet...who am I?" "M-Master....Master Nerikullllllrrrrr..." he found his own voice underscored by a purr that was unlike any he had ever voiced. "Mrrr, yes...who are you?" He slid from the sphincter up to and across Carlevin's genitals and back, intent on working his protege to a fever pitch. "Ahhh...I...I am...your...p...p...pet, Master..." He was trembling with anticipation, desperate to feel his Master from within. His pulse quickened with every teasing motion of Master Nerikull's cock. "Do you desire me...wish for me to be...inside you...my pet?" He was gently nudging his member against the twitching muscle, but not probing in yet. He knew that he couldn't keep the young tiger in wait any longer. Gasping and looking at his Master with wide open, emerald green eyes, he all but begged. "Please...Master....." "Yes, my pet..." He pushed into the young feline and slid inside, filling him. He heard the sharp inhale and felt a momentary contraction that subsided as fast as it occurred, then moved in deeper. Little by little, thrust by thrust, he penetrated not only into Carlevin's body, but into his being. A primitive joining that went beyond any one dimension. Master and pet, older and younger, two at once one. As the larger feline thrust deeper and faster, the younger could only form one word in his mind and in his voice... "Yes" Time lost meaning as the dance went on. Neither knew or cared how long they had been at it, but the peak was in reach. "I...am close....my pet. Shall....I stay within..when....nnng...I come?" His pet didn't need to say anything, he looked up and then touched the older tiger's chest. His rhythm was strong and steady and he was stroking his pet's member all the while. "Yes....yeeesss...noww....." he thrusted harder and deeper than before, then his body went rigid as his climaxed, roaring in ecstasy. He felt the muscles of the younger feline tense up as he gripped Carlevin's cock; he too roared as a surge of semen shot up and landed on his chest and stomach. "Ahhhh....oh....Master....Master..." he held on to Nerikull as the Master lay on top of him, embracing him and showering his face with gentle kisses. They stayed in this way for awhile, not wanting to move. Nerikull rose first, walking crookedly to the small fridge to retrieve water for them to drink. "It's late. Have you anywhere to be tomorrow?" "No, Master. Not for a few days, in fact." He smiled at this, and led the younger tiger out of the room. "Good...after a shower, you can sleep in the spare room. We can talk more...tomorrow." Carlevin grinned tiredly and nodded. "Thank you, Master. For....everything." They walked out of the room, and Nerikull helped his charge in the shower, then to bed. He stayed in the room until the slowing, steady breathing of the tiger indicated that he had drifted to sleep. He walked to his bedroom, thinking of all that he would have to tell Ky' when he saw her at lunch the next day. He would have to bring Carlevin, and he knew she would notice the armbands. He thought of what the days ahead would bring as he drifted into slumber. End...for now!
