Rebirth to the Beast
A/N: Hello all. Ran into some writers block on my G&L series, so I let my muse run off a bit and ended up combining a few old ideas into something new here. A little side project to commemorate my joining the furry community as well as the passing of another year of my existence (bleh). Please read and hopefully enjoy.

Rebirth to the Beast
"Anata no kage. Anata no yume. Oikaketeta!"
A single, white skinned hand reached out from beneath the pale blue covers, groping blindly for the cell phone that was currently doubling as an alarm clock. Much as the slumbering man loved that particular song, he was still not a morning person. As his hand landed on the offending electronic device he turned off the alarm and rolled around in bed as he debated getting up verses going back to sleep. The former argument won out and the covers pulled back, making the man wince as sunlight assaulted his eyes.
Sitting up slowly, he reached around clumsily until he felt the familiar cold, metal frame of his glasses and placed them upon his face. "Much better." His brown eyes, now properly focused, glanced to the other side of the room where a second bed lay empty. "The roomie actually up before me? That hasn't happened in quite a while. Wonder what he had to do today."
Stretching as he rolled out of bed he opened the door of the small room and went out to the living room, surprised to find that his suitemates weren't around either. "Damn, I miss a memo or something?" He muttered as he went to the kitchen and prepared his rather mundane breakfast, a cereal bar and a glass of milk. Moving to his window he looked down at the campus already alive with activity, attempting to decide if he would join in the regular hustle of the day. With his meal quickly consumed he turned away and returned to his room where he stripped down the white cotton t-shirt and black pajama pants, tossing them in the hamper before going to his closet for a change of clothing.
After a quick shower, along with a shave and the other necessary grooming acts, he dressed in a pair of blue jeans and a simple black t-shirt with a silver carp design across the back. "Always thought that there would be something interesting in my life at some point, guess I was wrong though." He muttered as he exchanged his glasses for a pair of contacts. After a few blinks to adjust the optical lenses he looked himself over in the mirror. "Going to have to get my hair cut again soon." He sighed as he pulled at the inch long brown hair. "Maybe tomorrow."
He turned away from the mirror and once more returned to his room for the final few items he needed for the day. A pair of heavy brown work boots were quickly laced up and tied down to complete his outfit. "What am I missing?" He grumbled. "Keys, wallet, music..." His eyes lit a little as he remembered and went to the small velvet covered box that held the few pieces of jewelry that he owned. The single gold earring was popped into place easily, the necklace and charm came next. He smiled as he held necklace, admiring the dragon with a pentacle in his claw and Goddess riding upon his back. "You guys would have kicked my butt if I left you behind, wouldn't you?" He laughed lightly as he placed the placed the charm on his neck. "Now then, off we go." A black leather jacket was pulled from the closet as he closed the door and left his dorm apartment.

"Wasn't quite the way I planned to spend the day." He whispered softly as he wandered about the mall, simply people watching for the time being. "Oh well, worse ways I could have wasted time I suppose." He kept his hands in his jacket pockets as he walked around, adjusting his music so that he could still hear the goings on around him even with the ear buds in. His eyes continuously roamed the stores, just in case something should catch his interest.
"Haven't been in here in a while." He paused in front of one of the stores that had come into the area a little under a year ago. "Wonder if they got anything new in." As soon as he crossed through the entrance his senses were assaulted by a myriad of sights and smells, along with a tingling sensation in his left hand. "Must have had some kind of class here recently, place is more charged with energy than usual." He moved further inside looking over the more gimmicky stock, magic oils and wish granting candles and the like, that were kept in the foreground for the casual observer. With a little smile he pushed on to the rear of the store where the truly interesting items could be found.
Instantly he felt at home as he walked amongst the rows and columns filled with books and texts on a multitude of topics. "That's more like it." He smiled as he lifted his left hand, letting it guide him as he felt the energy in the room, until he stopped before one particular shelf. "Here huh? What are you pointing me to now?"
At the end of the aisle, another set of eyes watched the young man with an exploratory gaze. "Are you interested in totem magic?" Asked a soft, female voice.
The guy turned as the girl walked up beside him. "It is something that has interested me for a while." He nodded with a smile. "Really a very intriguing concept when you consider it." He looked over the raven-haired girl that stood next to him now. "Are you interested in totems as well?"
"In a way." She admitted with a small nod that caused a few strands of her long, black, hair to fall into her view, momentarily obscuring her deep, brown eyes. Her hands moved over the bookshelf and picked one of the larger texts out, thumbing through it gently. "What is it that you find interesting about it?"
He chuckled as he considered his answer, taking a few seconds to examine the girl more closely. She wore an out fit very similar to his own casual style, though her jeans were much tighter. Her shirt was a dark red-orange and had a design of some kind, though it was largely hidden due to the black, zipper style, sweatshirt that she wore. "The entire premise actually." He began. "That a person has an alternate form or multiple alternate forms even. That those forms can be summoned, there by transforming them physically and enabling them to take on the characteristics of their spirit beast." He shook his head and smiled, almost sadly. "It's a shame that even magic has its limits. I can only imagine how enjoyable such an experience would be."
"Who says that magic is limited?" The girl smiled as she saw the man's face take on a confused, but curious, expression and returned her book to the shelf. "Did you not use magic to find the book you hold?"
"That's simple energy sensing." The man chuckled. "Anyone can do that with a little focus and training. It's nothing special."
"Anyone can, but most can't." She continued, her eyes searching his. "All magic is energy, and it is all special."
"Of course." He agreed, slowly realizing that this girl was far more knowledgeable than most he'd spoken with. "I meant to say that my own ability to use that magic was of nothing special, not the magic itself."
The girl smiled again. "An excellent clarification." She reached over and took the book from his grasp, turning it over in her hands. "If such magics were still accessible, you would learn them, correct?"
"Yes." He answered without thinking. "But aren't those practices lost to time?"
"There are those of us who still know the ways." She placed the book back onto the shelf, and then extended her hand to him. "Those who walk paths not seen by most. I could guide you along those paths if you like."
"A path unseen by most..." He spoke quietly. "Why share such knowledge?"
"If no one knows of the paths, then it is as if they do not exist." She replied calmly. "Then they really will be lost to time." She leaned slightly against the bookshelf. "Will you take a walk with me?"
The man paused for a moment at the invitation before extending his left hand towards the girl's. "You are source that I felt when I entered the store."
"And you the one I sensed." She replied as she took his extended hand. Both shivered slightly as they touched skin to skin, allowing them to directly feel the other's innate magic power. "Now then, let's take a walk."
"Sure." He agreed. "I'm..." Confusion was apparent on his face as the girl pressed a single finger over his lips.
"No names." She smiled. "At least not until we can meet with our true selves."
"True selves?"

"We'll go the rest of the way on foot."
He nodded silently as he climbed out of his car and locked up afterwards, looking over the house before them. "Your place?" He asked as he followed the girl through the gate into the backyard.
"My parents' actually." She admitted. "But yes."
He nodded as he looked around to the heavy woodlands just behind backyard and began mentally plotting out his location. "So? Where we headed anyway?" As they crossed through the well-manicured lawn and gardens to the thicker underbrush.
"You're aware of the three aspects of power correct?" She continued to lead the way, ducking under branches and jumping over small puddles with practiced easy. "You and I are people of power, while that charm you wear would be an item of power." She looked back over her shoulder, her smile somehow comforting and unnerving all at the same time. "But for what we will be doing we need a lot more raw magical energy so..."
"We need a place of power." He concluded as he realized where they were likely headed. "Your home backs up against the state park in the area."
"An excellent source of raw, primal energy." She shrugged. "Increasingly difficult to find in this modern age actually." The girl closed her eyes for a few moments and took a deep breath. "Oh...here we go. Right here."
The man looked around, and then back at the girl unsteadily. "Ok, your senses must be sharper than mine..."
"They are." She assured him as she bent down to begin untying her shoes. "Now get ready."
"Get ready?" He asked as he watched the raven-haired girl pull off her shoes and socks. "What do you mean get..." His eyes widened almost comically as he watch her pull off her sweatshirt and shirt. "What the hell are you doing?" He asked as he stared in disbelief.
She halted her hands on her final bra clasp, returning the male's stare until a knowing expression replaced her look. "Have you never worked magic naked before?"
"Not with other people." He looked down at the ground as he spoke. "I just wasn't expecting that this would end up with..."
"You're embarrassed..." She giggled as she removed her bra, causing her shapely breasts to bounce a little as she dropped the blue garment to the ground. "But if you truly want to learn the magic I have to share, we have to hurry or the energy in the area will shift again." She placed her hands on her jeans, toying with button, as she waited for him to respond. "Well?"
He struggled for a moment with his curiosity and his modesty. Curiosity won out as he took off his jacket and laid it out on the ground. "All right, ok, I get it." His shirt and shoes were discarded next, followed by his jeans. "Just remember it's a bit cool out here..." He muttered softly as he removed his boxers.
"I'm sure you're fine." She soothed as she slid out of her jeans and blue panties. "Now, come here and sit in front of me." She instructed as she sat down into the dirt and crossed her legs.
The young man nodded as he imitated her position, doing his best to keep his eyes from burning holes into the female form displayed before him. "What now?" He couldn't help but look down as the woman took his hands and intertwined her fingers with his.
"Close your eyes." She smiled as she saw the tint of red coming into his cheeks. "Feel the energy around you and release your consciousness, letting your mind sink deep both into itself and the magics in play." As she instructed him she let her own eyes close as well, simultaneously releasing and building her own magic around them both.
He swallowed hard as he felt the magic swirl around them, then relaxed and let his own magic join into the storm around them. It was an odd feeling, the combination of both their own and the earth magic merging into one. "What are you..."
She shooshed him gently and continued her instruction. "Look deep within you, past your mind and body, even past the spirit you've come to know as your own." Her fingers tightened around his ever so slightly. "Hear your other self call to you and try to find your way to it."
He nodded, though he was not fully conscious of it, as he complied with her words. The darkness that had come about from closing his eyes began to ebb away to the very edges, allowing him to recognize they were entering a mindscape, but if it was his own or the girl's in design he couldn't yet tell.
Concern washed over the girl's face as she felt her charge suddenly gripping at her hands tightly. "What's wrong? What do you see?"
"Hard to breath..." He grunted out as he tried to regain his wind. "Like...like I'm on a mountain." He took a moment to consider that he could hear the girl's voice, but had no other knowledge of her presence. "Where are you?"
"It's your spirit realm." She spoke softly. "I can not enter with you, only help you see the door and anchor you to this realm. Look around with your mind's eye, find that for which you seek."
Before he could respond, a sound echoed around him and began to resonate deep within his being. "Howling...I hear howling." He whispered as he scanned the spirit world for the source. He looked past the forest flooring of fresh grass and fallen leaves of many colors, his arms swiped through the air to move away the fog that blocked his view of the upper reaches. "There's something here..."
The girl tightened her own grip on the man's hands as he rocked slightly, indicating he was moving within the other realm. "There are many spirits in the realm besides your own, tread cautiously. If you encounter something you can not handle say so and I'll pull you back."
"That's comforting..." Was the somewhat sardonic reply. "I get to come back possessed by some..." He trailed off as he felt something shift in the winds, a presence both new and completely familiar at the same moment. Turning slowly he came viewed the large, canned, form that stalked silently from behind a tree. "I think I found him...or he found me...I'm not really sure..."
"What form is it?" She asked quickly. "Some spirits must test their owners before they will allow for use of their power. Quickly, tell me the form of your spirit beast."
There was no response as the man and the beast began a slow circling dance, each evaluating the other carefully. As it stepped further from the shadows the man could see that the beast was a wolf with gray fur and a dusky-white underbelly. The wolf's eyes, a sharp and gleaming gold in color, met the man's brown eyes and refused to move away. Fur bristled quickly as the lips pulled back, fangs bared, and barked in challenge. "Make all the noise you want..." The man spoke quietly. "I'm not backing down."
"Do not antagonize the beast!" She warned harshly. "You can't fight a spirit on its terms." She shook her head, cursing herself for rushing into this ceremony so hastily. "I'm pulling you back..."
"Don't you dare."? He ordered as he crouched low to the ground, meeting the wolf's gaze at his own level. The canine tensed for a moment before growling at the human's defiance. "I'm not about to roll over for you." The man addressed the wolf now. "You and I are one and the same right? Opposite sides of the coin?" He extended his hand toward the snarling creature, his fingers half curled in a way that could signal either camaraderie or challenge. "Whatever is going to be done, let's do it." The man's head cocked, ever so slightly, as the wolf's tail began to wag slowly.
"What's happening?" The girl questioned as the man went silent and still. She gripped his hands nervously debating to pull him out against his will or wait to hear him give any indication of trouble. "Tell me what's going on."
The man watched with curiosity as wolf relaxed it's stance and padded softly to the human's side. The man kneeled fully now and maintained his eye contact with the great beast, now seeing the wolf was far larger than he'd previously thought, until both counterparts bent their heads to each other in acknowledgement. The wolf's paw came up to its muzzle and bit down so that the gray fur began to darken further.
It took the human a moment to recognize the scent of blood and understand what was required. His wrist went to his mouth and he bit forcefully so that he too drew blood. The wolf leaned forward to lap at gently at the opened artery and the man took the wolf's paw to repeat the action in kind, only after a few equal exchanges did the wolf pull away. The man watched in wonder as the physical form of the wolf dissolved into a fog-like mist. "I see, blood to blood to bind the flesh. Spirit to soul to bind the power." With a smile he crawled, on all fours, into the waiting mist.
With a cry of fear and shock the girl was thrown back from the man whose consciousness she had been anchoring to this world. She rubbed her hands, trying to regain sensation in them, as she watched the magic overflow surround and cocoon her partner's body. She bit her lip as she heard an inhuman howl echo through the woodlands around them.
Within the cocoon the man could feel the changes even before he fully understood the events that were taking place. His feet began to widen even as the individual toes began to shorten, the pinky toe vanishing completely, while the toughened soles of his feet were replaced with thick, soft, black, pads. The changes moved up slowly from there as bones, ligament, and tendons began to shift as well. He could feel the bones scraping against one another as his calves thinned and shortened, while his quads and hamstrings became thicker and longer. He looked down in an almost detached observation as muscles ripped and reformed almost instantaneously to accommodate the changes in his skeletal structure.
Only an occasional wince or grimace came across his face, and even those were due only to hearing the actual sounds of the transformation rather than any pain induced by the process itself. As his legs finished he felt his hips begin to narrow and move to a new setting that would better accommodate his new lower half. He didn't even bother to look back as he felt his coccyx begin to push out forcefully, knowing the only possible explanation was the growth of a tail. An involuntary shiver wracked his frame as he felt the new appendage build itself bone by bone only to be covered with muscle, nerves, connective tissue, and finally a thin layer of epidural cells. He couldn't resist the temptation to give his new possession a small trial run and took an extreme primal delight in the few wags he produced.
His attention diverted as he audibly grunted for the first time in this procedure as a true pain washed over him. His chest felt as though it had momentarily collapsed in on itself as his ribs became thin and elongated. He gasped for breath for a few moments before nature, or perhaps magic, corrected its oversight and moved about his internal organs to locations that would better serve this new morphology he was adopting. After a few deep breaths he observed the filling out of his new musculature across his belly, chest, and shoulders. A raised arm allowed him to view the changes with greater scrutiny than could be done with for his legs. It looked as though something was moving actively beneath his skin, physically uprooting his human components and reshaping him into this new creature he was to become. He stared on in awe as his hands became broader like his feet had done.
He shook his head slightly as he assessed the word choice. "Hind paws...or perhaps foot paws..." He murmured quietly. His attention returned to his hand again as he felt his nails being absorbed into his flesh and were replaced with long, black, claws. Only a brief moment was taken to note that his fingers had not changed as drastically as his toes had done. Unfortunately he couldn't contemplate this issue for too long as his vision began to blur suddenly. His hands, or rather his new paws, rushed to his face in attempt to discover what had ruined his sight and he gasped at the findings.
His nose was no longer the rounded and protruding mass of flesh that he'd come to expect, but a wide, and flat replacement that was both cold and slightly wet to the touch. The bridge of his nose began to shift lower and expand outwardly, pushing his eyes slightly more apart accounting for his vision troubles, forming the upper portions of his muzzle. At the same moment his mandible bones audibly cracked as his jaw began to follow suit and reset into a more lupine formation. As the exterior began to set, he gnashed out wildly at the air as the majority of his molars reshaped into considerably sharper fangs and his tongue enlarged both in length and width. As his vision began to restore itself he felt a tightness over the sides and top of his head. Using his paws to gain understanding he could feel his ears as they migrated to the more appropriate local for canine physiology, even becoming thinner and more triangular as they did so.
As his ears came to rest the former human looked over his body, only to be appalled by what appeared to be a significant oversight of a much-needed detail. "I still have only skin...shouldn't there be..." No sooner had the thought been started then his entire body began to itch maddeningly. His new claws raked over his skin as he tried to quell the sensation, but it availed him nothing. Only when his new fur began to sprout from his pale flesh did he slow his scratching, though he did not stop completely as the sensation of his claws through the fur was far to enjoyable quit just yet? A low growl of pleasure escaped him as he watched his paws run over the thick, gray, fur that covered his body. He turned only slightly as he felt something brush at his leg, his eyes lighting in excitement as he viewed the big, fluffy tail. The urge to spin around and grab that appendage was too much to endure as he grasped it in his paw, smiling smugly as he held his new fifth limb.
"Try doing that in your feral form some time." Offered a voice as the magics began to die away, bringing the new wolf back into the physical realm. "It's a lot harder that way, but it gives such a better sense of accomplishment."
"Feral form?" The wolf turned towards the source of the voice expecting to see the same dark haired girl from earlier. His ears laid back in confusion as his eyes came to rest on the large feline form that sat on its haunches in the dirt. "Should I assume this is the form of your spirit beast?"
"That's right." The female purred an affirmation as she rose, stretching her lithe panthers body as she took to all fours. "I wasn't sure if it would be you or your beast that was in control when you came out of the cocoon, so I shifted to this form in case you tried to attack me."
"I see." He nodded understandingly before turning his attention to the differences in her appearance and his own. The black furred panthress truly appeared to be an animal in form, while he was something of an amalgamation between a true wolf and a true human. "Is there a reason my form is more...anthromorphic than yours?"
"You can take a feral form as well." Her muzzle seemed to curl a little in a grin. "Just as I can take a form like yours." As the feline walked closer she began to change shape, gaining a distinctly more human body shape while retaining the pronounced panther features on her face and paws. "See? It has to do with the type of magic that's mixed. Most start as ferals since there's so much beast energy poured in so quickly. The fact that you went straight to a fused, or anthromorphic, form means that either your beast is rather weak..." She reached out her paw and rested it against his fur-covered chest. "Or your human side is rather strong."
"Couldn't really say." He shook his head slightly. "Maybe I'll know more as I get to learn more about these new parts of my life." His paw came up to lightly caress the panthers' paw. "But I do understand one thing, why you said no introductions until we could meet in our true forms."
"So you've discovered your name as well." She smiled, her gleaming white fangs contrasting sharply with her dark fur and hair. "I suppose I'll go first. I'm called Jazz."
"Jazz." The wolf repeated softly. "Not what I expected, but it has a nice sound to it. I'm Thorn."
Jazz smiled softly as she felt his paws take hers, his gentle touch belying the quiet strength beneath the fur. "There is one more thing we have to take care of...to make sure your transformation doesn't have adverse effects on your body."
He nodded ever so slightly, though it was becoming harder to focus on her words. His newly heightened senses awash in her presence from her scent in the air to the warmth of her paw on his chest. "Adverse effects..." He whispered as he found himself leaning down a bit toward her. "Shouldn't you have mentioned that before we started this whole scene?"
Jazz lifted on to the tips of her foot paws slightly as she viewed Thorn's head bending down to her. "Somehow, I don't think you'll mind the remedy measures..." She replied as she pressed her nose against his, and then slid to the side to rub their muzzles together. The feline knew full well what wolf was going through right now, having experienced it herself on her first transformation. "The flood of beast energy in you, your body has nowhere to store it."
Thorn growled lightly, not in anger nor even at her words, but at the simple contact between their muzzles and cheeks as the light play continued. "Sounds like a problem." As he spoke he brought his free paw around to rest gently on Jazz's hip and pulled her a bit closer to him. "How do we fix it?" He asked as his head bent a bit more, allowing him to ruffle her neck fur and breath in her scent all that much easier.
A low purr rumbled through the femme feline as Thorn nuzzled her. "We have to make some space for it." She replied as she brought her other paw between them, tracing up his leg slowly. "We could do it by simply venting out some of your human energy, but..."
"But?" The canine asked as he continued to press his investigation of Jazz's body, adding light nips and licks to her fur.
"You seem to have stumbled upon the much more fun way to release some energy." Jazz couldn't suppress a small gasp as Thorn nipped her again. "Tantric energy..." She clarified as she brought her paw to Thorn's already stiffening male hood emerging from his sheath. "The beast part of us already wants to mate, and it will make the needed room for your new energy..." Her head tipped back as the wolf shifted around to pay attention to the other side of her neck. "If you'd like...I can help you with..."
The wolf chuckled as he kissed at her neck, making her gasp once more. "I think we've already moved past that point."
The panthress laughed as well and nodded. "Yes, I guess we have." She smiled as she lifted her head back fully, exposing her neck fully to his soft kisses. As she enjoyed his attention memories from her own first transformation surfaced for a moment. An increased libido was fully expected after a first transformation, she herself had all but pounced her guide when the panther had fully merged with her, but it was usually isolated to the newly transformed. It begged the question of why the magic seemed to have effected her so much, made her desire this coupling as much as Thorn seemed to want it. "You don't need to hold back..." She whispered as her body began to respond to the wolf's touch.
"You brought me into something that I could only imagine before. I want to be able to enjoy it." Thorn pulled back slightly so that he could meet Jazz's eyes again. "And it's a poor repayment, but I'd like for you to enjoy this as well." He looked down and laughed nervously. "But...uh...it's been a while so..."
Jazz smiled as she wrapped her paw around the now exposed wolf flesh jutting from the sheath, shaking her head as she did so. "It hasn't been a while." She giggled a bit as Thorn looked confused. "You've never been a wolf before, you're a virgin all over again."
He shivered as he felt the furred paw wrapped around his cock. "I think the logic is a bit off on that argument, I'm still me after all." He groaned as Jazz's paw tightened at the tip, and for a moment worried he'd already peaked before he realized it was only pre he'd just shot into her paw. "Then again...it is clearly different..."
"You have no idea." Jazz informed him as she pressed against his body, letting him feel her stiff nipples hidden under her fur, against his chest. She felt her breath catch slightly as little jolts of electricity passed between them, barely noticing that Thorn reacted the same way. "Let me show you just how different it is." The feline offered as she began to slide slowly down his body.
The canine's tail began to wag slowly as it dawned on him what Jazz was alluding to. He watched avidly as she sank down to her knees, putting his crotch even with her muzzle, at least until her rough tongue slid up along the length causing his eyes to shut tightly as warm waves of pleasure washed over him. "Gods...so much different than when I was just human..."
Jazz's only response was to bring her paws up, one around the base of his cock while the other cupped his fur covered sac, as she ran slow circles of her tongue around the pointed tip of Thorn's cock. She began to stroke him slowly as she continued to lick at his tip, careful to aim his shots of pre into her maw so that she wouldn't have to clean it out of her fur later. The other paw flexed and constricted slowly as she massaged his balls, eliciting a moan from the wolf that bordered on a low howl.
Thorn's body stiffened as he felt Jazz finally take him into her mouth, his paws moving to rest gently on her head both in encouragement and simply a means for the canine to keep his balance as his senses threatened to overwhelm him. He scratched his claws through her hair slowly and soon was rubbing her gently just behind the ears, causing the girl to purr and subsequently send the vibrations though to him. His hips began to buck as instinct took over, but he maintained enough control so that he didn't choke Jazz or, worse, cut himself on her sharp teeth. "I'm not going to be able to hold out for much longer..." He warned as he opened his eyes to look down at the female before him, knowing from experience it was not a good idea to surprise a lady in such a way no matter what species they were.
Jazz looked up, her eyes shining playfully as she met his gaze, and sank her muzzle a bit further over Thorn's engorged flesh. She couldn't help but feel a small sense of pride as she watched his eyes flutter closed as he attempted to maintain his composure. Her cheeks hollowed inward as she began to bob her head faster, taking over the work of her paw so that she could now press down against Thorn's sheath once again, putting light pressure on the knot still hidden within.
The wolf's head tilted, eyes squeezed tightly shut as his knot was squeezed. There was nothing similar in human anatomy that could relate to that feeling, and the new experience pushed him far over his edge. A long, loud, howl cut through the forest as Thorn reached his first climax as a wolf. It was far more intense than anything he had ever felt before, his entire lower body thrusting in short, jerky motions as his cock pulsed. He forced his eyes to open so that he could look down, watching as Jazz's cheeks moved from hollowed in to ballooning out to accommodate his load. His howl was replaced with a mixture of growls and grunts as he continued to spurt into her maw.
The feline knew that her partner was close, that was why she had worked harder to bring him to orgasm, but the sheer volume was not anticipated for. She had tried to swallow at first, but his magic-enhanced body filled her maw faster than she could empty it. At last her lips opened at the sides, allowing his seed to flow in thick, sticky, rivulets down her chin and drip to her breasts. The paw she had been using to rub his nuts was moved instead to his thigh, pushing against him to try and break the strong grip of his paws on her head. At last she managed to pull back from Thorn, but she did not stop her oral pleasuring knowing how much she hated to have her lover stop in mid-climax. Her rough tongue ran over the tip, coaxing more heavy ropes of lupine cum to rain down on her muzzle and her cheeks.
The view only egged the wolf on further, seeming to pull up reserves from deep with in him, as his body spasmed almost violently to release the last of his essence on to Jazz's face. He panted, tongue hanging limply at the side of his mouth, as he finally began to come down from his high. If the visual of his white cum standing out prominently against her midnight black fur, along with the fact her tongue was now licking about her maw to try and clean herself up, the scents in the air were even stronger now. Though his scent was by far the more overpowering, he focused on the one almost hidden beneath. The scent of Jazz's own needs having been pushed aside for far too long.
The panther girl shifted slowly as she moved from her kneeling position to one where she could sit comfortably on the soft earth. "Not bad eh?" She grinned and giggled as she brought her paw to her muzzle, scraping up some of the cum from her fur and licking it from her digits. Using one arm to support body she leaned back, her paw sliding from her mouth down her silky furred form until it rested between her spreading legs. A soft moan escaped her as she spread her feminine lips and let her digits caress her moistened flesh. Her head tossed lightly, flipping her hair back in a cascade that she could see made the wolf male swallow hard, and looked up at him invitingly. "I know you're not satisfied with just a little muzzle job." She whispered in a way that made her sound playful, needy, and sultry all at once. "Ready for more?" She questioned as she spread herself a bit more to his gaze.
Thorn nodded, a dumb expression on his face if her giggle was any indication, and his tail wagged eagerly as he knelt down between her legs. As he felt his knees hit the soil he paused for a moment as he remembered his words from before and changed his plans. He leaned forward, smiling as Jazz pulled back a bit in confusion, and kissed her softly. His own taste was still quite prominent, but Jazz's subtle sweetness was what his body locked too and he pushed a bit deeper into the kiss.
Jazz moaned softly as Thorn's tongue teased at her mouth for a moment before opening her maw to his advance. As the wolf leaned into the kiss more she found herself leaning back until she was laying flat against the ground. She had half expected to feel Thorn lay against her, pinning her to the ground, but he kept himself supported over her. After a few moments more of their muzzles being locked together in that exploratory kiss Thorn pulled away leaving her breathing a little bit heavier. "What's...what's wrong? Why'd you stop?"
Thorn smiled and pressed his nose against hers affectionately. "I said I wanted this to be enjoyable for both of us." He reminded her as he let his paw begin to comb down through her belly fur, grinning as he watched her shiver and heard her purr. "I got you rather messy, and I know cats like to remain clean."
Before Jazz could question him, she felt a foreign paw begin to lightly rub along the upper edge of her labia, causing her to gasp and stiffen in shock. As the wolf continued to tease her she felt him lick at her cheek and she groaned as she realized what the male had meant. "You don't have to groom me..." Her statement trailed off into a low wail as she felt a single digit dip lower and begin to penetrate her, only to be followed by another soon after. She whimpered as those digits began to separate slowly, spreading her pussy bit by bit, as they began to push deeper with each slide. At the same time she could feel the broad, warm, tongue moving over her facial fur as she was cleaned of the seed that had landed there. Jazz had always enjoyed being groomed, but having someone else do it was a pleasure she had not had since she was a kitten. Never mind having her more carnal needs tended to as she was groomed.
Thorn rumbled a pleased growl as he felt Jazz's pussy quiver and his digits became even more wet. He continued to tongue bath her until her cheeks and muzzle were cleaned of his cum, moving down to tidy up her chin fur, only to be pulled into a hungry kiss with the feline. Reluctantly, he pulled away and moved his head lower to clean her breasts as well. Once her body was cleaned he spent a bit more time massaging her chest with his tongue, mixing in a few kisses along the way, paying plenty of attention to her nipples.
Jazz groaned as Thorn nipped her hardened nub while his fingers continued to rasp her inner depths. "Thorn...wait...if you keep this up I'm going to..." She lost her voice to a primal growl for a moment as his thumb claw traced over the hood of her clit. Her eyes darted to the wolf as she saw him continue to move down her body until he was lapping at her inner thighs, tasting the fluids that had already began to soak and matte her fur.
"Yeah, I know." Thorn grinned as he licked the outer edges of her lips, causing her to lift her hips wantonly in search of more. "I think that's kind of the point here isn't it?" He teased as he swiped his wide tongue over her spread open inner folds. His eyes shut for a moment, savoring all the subtitle tastes his new canine senses could detect. "Gods...I think we're both going to enjoy this."
"Wait...you don't understand..." Jazz tried again to voice her concerns, but the wolf had already buried his snout into her cleft as he licked her enthusiastically. Her moans became louder as the soft, pink flesh wiggled deeper into her pussy inch by inch. As the wolf reached a suitable distance that his fingers weren't needed to hold her open any longer she could feel him putting his paws to other uses, namely teasing back the hood of her clit to get at the sensitive nub hidden below. A growling groan escaped her as she arched her back and lifted her hips off the ground as her love bud became caught between the male's furry fingers, squeezing and tugging at her in time with his tongue thrusts into her tunnel. "Thorn..."
The canine looked up, his eyes seeming to curve as if he was smiling despite his full maw, at the girl's pleading tone. By the way her body was moving, not to mention the increased flow of her nectar running down his chin fur, he could guess that she was close as well. Teasingly, he began to pull his tongue back from her inner walls and focused his attention higher.
Jazz whimpered as she felt Thorn pulling out of her heated sex, both disappointed and grateful that he had stopped. A second later though her eyes shut tightly again as a new surge of pleasure took her over. She lifted her head so that she could look down, a guttural growl passing her lips as she took in the view. Thorn had trade the positions of his paw and mouth, locking him over her clit tightly as he sucked and licked the blood-engorged button. Jazz's head fell back again as Thorn's digits entered her once more, finger fucking her with slow, strong, downward thrust. Her protests died away as her black paws moved down to grasp at the wolf's hair and head fur. Low whimpers and mewls began to rise incrementally to moans of pleasure as she felt that familiar pressure building force in her lower belly and between her legs.
Thorn winced slightly as Jazz pulled at his fur roughly, but refused to cease his actions. He had taken that tug as a warning of her impending climax, but the following roar and clamping of her thighs around his head was also a good indicator. Her honey flooded out copiously, wetting his chin fur and dribbling down his neck as well as the two digits encased deep inside her spasming pussy. Giving only last strong suck on her clitoris he allowed his fingers to take over once again and lowered his head to the entrance of her quiz once again. A particularly strong contraction squirted her juices against his nose, causing his world to spin for a moment as her scent intoxicated him, giving him increased motivation for his tongue to dive in and lap at as much of her inner walls he could reach.
After her roar, Jazz had been reduced to pants and gasps as her only sounds of her pleasure. Feeling Thorn's tongue delve into her again made her arch into a silent scream of renewed lust, her features bordering on an almost painful expression as a second, small orgasm hit her. As the sensation passed and began to fade her body slumped heavily back to the ground, leaving the panthers smiling and breathing hard, momentarily forgetting what she had been trying to tell Thorn before.
As her quivering began to slow the canine moved his muzzle away from the girl, giving her a few gentle licks along her outer lips to clean and sooth her more so than to excite her further. He jumped slightly, ears flat in concern, as a soft purple glow took over her body. "What's going on?" He asked with a hint of worry in his voice. His head cocked to one side as the glow faded away a moment later, leaving a panting human girl where the panther morph had lay a moment ago. "Uh Jazz?" He crawled up along side her, stroking her cheek with his paw to gain her attention. "You ok?"
Jazz nodded slowly, still a bit dazed from her two closely time orgasms. "I'm ok." She whispered as she tried to catch her breath. "This is what I was trying to tell you about before." She smiled as she saw confusion in the wolf's eyes. "I have a small problem with my transformations. If I cum, I return to my human form and can't transform again for a little while."
Thorn sighed in relief, happy to know he hadn't somehow hurt or displeased her, before his mind wandered to the next question on his mind. "Why is it that you transform back? I mean, I didn't when I came so..."
"I was a lot younger when I first learned of my ability to transform." She replied as she sat up, with a bit of assistance from Thorn, so that she could sit face to face with the wolf. "When I hit puberty..." Jazz shrugged. "I don't really understand it, but my magic and my hormones were at odds with each other and..." She motioned to her body. "This is the result. But it's ok, I've learned a few things about myself because of it." She smiled coyly, as she reached her hand between Thorn's legs. "But we can discuss all that later, after we take care of this."
Thorn growled softly in desire as her soft skinned hand ran over his shaft. "I guess I should change back to human too right?" He started to ask, figuring she would be more comfortable since she was now in a smaller form.
"Don't you dare."? She laughed as she moved forward between his legs, kissing his nose softly as she kneeled in front of him. "This is one of those things I learned about myself."
Thorn's paws came up to rest at the small of Jazz's back and pulled her close. "I don't understand." He lifted her gently so that he could shift his position below her and sat her into his lap.
Jazz grinned as she released Thorn's cock from her hand and inched her wet pussy closer to his hard on, wrapping her legs around his back to gain a bit more leverage. "Much as I like my own furry form, I like to feel my partner's fur against my bare skin even more." She whispered softly as she lifted her hips, moving carefully until she felt the hot tip of his pointed cock against her still sensitive cleft. "Not to mention, we'll both enjoy the fact that my human pussy is just a bit tighter." She explained as she began to slide her way back down into the wolf's lap as he slide into her.
A low groan passed Thorn's lips as his wolfed virginity was taken, her pussy wrapping around him like a hot, wet, velvet lined glove. "Gentle Goddess...you're like a vice..." He gasped as he held her hips to prevent either of them from moving for fear of over stimulation ending this encounter too soon.
"First time I've been called a goddess." Jazz giggled, knowing full well that wasn't what Thorn had meant. She leaned forward a bit more, pressing her bare chest to his furred chest, shivering in delight as the soft body fur tickled her. The small amount of extra pressure also made her press further down Thorn's erection, making them both moan softly, and stretching her a bit wider.
His paws tightened around her waist and he lifted her, discovering his morphed form was quite a bit stronger than his human form alone, and lowered her down again. In this sitting position they were hardly going to be doing any hard and fast movement, but such action didn't seem necessary right now. Their earlier games seemed to have slaked their immediate lusts, the here and now seemed focused on something other than the needs of the body alone.
Jazz released low, contented sighs of enjoyment as the wolf slowly thrust into her. She too could feel this was not simply a mating driven by their spirit beasts. It was deeper, more sensual, more loving. The girl shook her head, not wanting to explore that option just yet and ruin the moment. Her arms wrapped about the wolf, locking behind his back, to hold him tight as she kissed him.
Thorn took great care as he attempted to return Jazz's kiss, knowing her skin was far more delicate now than it had been before. Coupled with the vast difference in shape of her mouth and his muzzle, it was an awkward but not unpleasant kiss. They continued on in this manner, lost in each other's warm embrace and their soft love making session, time no longer a concern to the couple. Even with such a casual pace, their bodies soon began to push for more. A small grunt issued from Thorn's lips as he felt Jazz press against him only to meet with restraint. Breaking from their kiss, both parties looked down to see that the wolf's knot had emerged fully and was resting right at the edge of Jazz's love tunnel.
The girl smiled softly as she was the first to look up, seeing a mixture of concern and confusion on her lover's face. She didn't doubt he was internally debating himself on how to proceed, torn between wanting to tie with her and daring not to for risk of tearing her already stretched muscles if he forced his way in. Jazz closed her eyes as she hugged the wolf, wondering just how exactly she knew his thoughts, and bumped his muzzle with her nose. "Hold still." Her voice was barely a whisper as she gyrated her hips in small circles, spreading her juices over the expanding bulb of flesh.
Thorn, seeming to impersonate a cat for a moment, made a light purring sound as he felt Jazz grind against him. He couldn't help but watch as she tried to relax her inner muscles and simultaneously use her legs wrapped around him to pull herself down. As the knot half vanished into her, he heard a muffled grunt come from Jazz causing him to look up at her face even as he slipped from her honeyed lips. The mix of desire and disappointment, pleasure and pain on her face told him all he needed to know. He couldn't explain how he knew, only that he was certain she was trying so hard to make them both happy.
Jazz ceased her movement as she felt the paws on her hips move around her, cupping her ass, one cheek in each paw. She felt a quick lick on her cheek and felt Thorn lean back just a bit from her, understanding what he meant to do without the words being spoken. Leaning back as well she let Thorn's strong arms support her, giving her a little extra room to move, and began to make bigger thrusts. She groaned appreciatively as Thorn met her movements with thrusts of his own. In only a few moments her body was naturally constricting and dilating, leaving her to time out her next move. When she felt she was ready she thrust down hard, and felt Thorn's paws tighten at her backside to pull her down as well. She grit her teeth as the knot invaded her with loud, wet sounding, pop.
Thorn held the girl as she fell forward against him, her head on his shoulder, rubbing her back in long up and down strokes as she adjusted to his girth. Remembering what she said about enjoying the feel of fur rubbing her skin he bent down to nuzzle against the crook of her neck, he smiled as he heard her laugh at the tickling motions. "Still in any pain?" He asked softly as he felt her sit back, causing him to whimper a tiny amount as she squeezed his knot.
Jazz shook her head as Thorn leaned in to lick away the few tears that had fallen from her eyes. "It's passing...I just haven't..." She trailed off and looked down, suddenly embarrassed for some reason. "I haven't been stretched like this in a while..." Her eyes flitted up, though her head remained lowered still, concerned that her admission would somehow ruin the moment. She gasped as Thorn licked her cheek once again, then smiled as she realized he wasn't concerned with that aspect of her past.
Thorn smiled and began to buck his hips, as much as the tie would allow, and groaned as Jazz began to grind down on top of him. Their movements were limited, but the closeness seemed to make up for this. He copied her actions from before, bumping her chin up with his snout, gaining access to her neck and breasts, planting a mix of kisses and licks over her body.
Jazz moaned softly as he caught one of her nipples in between his fangs, just enough to hold her without causing her to bleed. His knot continued to grow within her, rubbing and stretching her inner walls in all the right ways. She jerked as she felt his cock throb, sending a searing jet of pre along her vaginal muscles, fueling her to grind faster. Her arms wrapped around Thorn once more as her body began to move of it's own accord.
Thorn grunted as he held Jazz tight, knowing they were both passed the point of no return. His thrusts were short, but strong and fast as well, as he traced lightening lines down Jazz's back with the claws of one paw. He lifted his head from her chest and nuzzled his cheek against Jazz's, rather than attempting to continue their awkward kisses during such an intimate moment.
Jazz's hands tightened again in Thorn's fur, nearly ripping it out at the root, as she let out a strangled cry and came for the third time that afternoon. Her muscles rippled around the wolf dick, attempting to pull it deeper into her it seemed, panting hard as she felt the pressure building in her vaginal tunnel. To late she realized that her honey could not escape with the large knot plugging her pussy tightly. Her thought didn't last long as she heard Thorn's groan beside her ear.
The peristaltic rippling of Jazz's climax had in turn lead to Thorn's. He could feel his cum wash back over his cock as it splashed off Jazz's gripping walls, filling her more and more with each powerful spurt of seed from the pointed tip. A low howl passed his muzzle as Jazz leaned into him and bit into his shoulder to muffle her cries. He tried to stop his hips from rising up, adding to the pressure her already protesting muscles were under, but it was a loosing battle as centuries worth of instinct fought against him.
When time resumed, and the spots cleared from her eyes, Jazz released her bite on Thorn's neck. "Sorry..." She whispered as she smoothed the fur with her hands. "No blood at least."
"Thick scruff..." He offered as he held her against him. "What about you?"
"Going to walk funny for a day or two." Her voice sounded a bit tired, but light and jesting too. "But I'll live."
Thorn nodded and resumed his light rubbing of Jazz's back. "We may be tied for a while...unless I turn human again..." He suggested.
"No..." Jazz shook her head, smiling as it caused her to rub into his shoulder fur. "It's a little uncomfortable, but...it's nice too. Feeling so connected to someone else."
"Yeah." The canine agreed as he combed her mussed hair with his claws. "I know what you mean." Silence hung between them for some time, either due to their basking in the afterglow or trying to sort out their own thoughts on the underlying experiences they'd just shared. "Um...Jazz?"
"Anata no kage. Anata no yume. Oikaketeta!"
The girl looked over at the jeans as they suddenly began to sing. "Cell phone?" She closed her eyes as she lowered her head against him once again, listening to the ringtone she couldn't understand. "Do you understand that language?"
"It's Japanese. And I do understand a little." He nodded slowly. "Your shadow. Your dream. I've been chasing after them." Thorn laughed nervously. "Little weird to have a Japanese song as a ring tone I guess. Right?"
"If you didn't know the meaning, I'd agree." Jazz laughed as well. "But I kind of like the meaning. Fits well with chasing down your spirit beast." She smiled sadly, hidden from the wolf's gaze, as she considered her next question. "So, I'm guessing that's your girlfriend?"
The question caught him off guard, but he shook his head. "'Fraid not. I'm single as they come." He ran his tongue over his fangs as he thought. "So, ah, this may be out of line but...was all this just...part of the ceremony?" He asked slowly.
"I think it started that way." Jazz bit her lip, unable to tell what had motivated Thorn's question. "But...I think our magic synced up." She swallowed down her nervousness. "I think...we synced up."
Thorn smiled despite himself as his hopes raised a bit. "That's what I thought too." He paused as he felt Jazz sit up in his lap, allowing them to look into each other's eyes. "If..." He looked down as his nerves overtook him. "If your not with anyone right now, would you like to try...I mean...I don't want to pressure you or anything but..."
"Yes."
The wolf looked up, only to be caught in another kiss. He closed his eyes and brought his paws up to hold her just below the cheeks, feeling his body changing back to his human form without much effort, and pulled her into a deep kiss.
Jazz giggled into his mouth. While the transformation allowed them to kiss far easier than his muzzle would allow, it also removed the knot allowing for the combined proof of their love making to drain down out of her and over his lap. She couldn't help but groan as the pressure began to abate. The need for oxygen forced her to break the kiss, though she rested her head against his so that they could still gaze into each other's eyes. "Looks like I got you messy this time." Her voice full of suggestive meaning.
Thorn smirked at the tease, but shook his head. "I don't think I could stand to be cleaned the way I cleaned you before. Maybe we could wash up back at your place?"
Jazz nodded as she stood onto shaky legs. Though she didn't really need the assistance, she didn't protest the helpful support Thorn gave by wrapping his arm about her waist. They gathered up their clothing, but didn't put anything on, as they had no changes available for after the shower. She leaned up as they walked back towards her house, giving the newly reborn male a kiss on the cheek. "Almost forgot. Happy birthday Thorn."
The male arched an eyebrow in confusion. "How'd you know it's my birthday?"
"You just transformed for the first time." She laughed. "It's a new birthday for you." Jazz looked on a moment before she understood. "Wait. You mean it's your real birthday too?" Her head shook in disbelief as he nodded. "Maybe fate is real..."
"Don't know." Thorn shrugged before leaning down to return the kiss on the cheek. "Either way, thank you Jazz." He held her close as she smiled up at him.
Together they walked back toward the rest of the world, the gossamer image of a wolf and a panther in tow just behind them. The wolf edged closer and licked the panther's muzzle and received a light muzzle rub in return. The spirits faded a moment later, forming a ring of protective magic around the two humans that could just barely be seen.
If you knew how to look for it that is.
