#4 of Coastal Encounters


NOTE: This story is dedicated to all those people who DIDN'T bitch and moan for me to post the next chapter. I thank you for respecting me and my real life priorities.

"Six years." one voice said in a slightly complacent tone.

"And that's how long you've been such a powerful advocate for marine preservation?" another replied in a lighter voice with an inquiring undertone in addition to a heavy Australian accent.

"No. I've been an advocate for much longer than that, but it's been six years since I actually start doing something about it."

"And now your exploits and endeavors in the protection of valuable pelagic habitat are unmatched here in this part of the world. I think what many people are wanting to know is... what compelled you to take such fervent action for such a cause?"

There was a long pause in the conversation...

"Have you ever had a once in a lifetime experience with nature?" came the first voice. Its tone betrayed nothing; uttered in a careful, almost empty way.

"Well... no. I can't say that I have."

There was a deep sigh and a few more moments of thoughtful silence before the first voice spoke once again.

"I had an encounter with the most beautiful creature in the world... six years ago. I won't go into details about it... but experiencing what I did during that time played a very large part in driving me to do what I have done for the oceans and their creatures."

"Fascinating. It must have been something very special to motivate you to such ends."

"Well, yes it did. But it wasn't the only thing." The first voice said, but then stopped, faltering slightly as if reliving some painful memory.

"Oh?"

"Someone I cared for very deeply passed from my life in a very bad way."

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that. Family member?"

"No. I did not care for this individual in that way. It was... so much more. Such love I felt... and such pain I endured when our bond was severed."

Another introspective pause...

(3 Days in Darkness by Testament)

"We parted ways as a result of my own foolishness and anger." The first voice finished with a certain amount of strain. "So, in response to your question, the combination of these two things coming together at one is what compelled me to take such fervent action for such a cause."

"I see. Please forgive me if I am being difficult... but while I can certainly understand how a magical encounter with a magnificent creature of the seas would inspire you to want to protect them... but I don't see how a painful separation could lead to this kind of muse." Offered the second voice.

There was more silence. Then the first voice spoke again.

"The circumstances were... different than what you could... possibly imagine." The first voice finished. The words were laced with such emotional weight and stress that they were almost indecipherable from the quiver of the vocalization.

"Alright. I see that this is a private matter that you do not wish to discuss. But it looks as if we are almost out of time for today. All I can say is that it's been an honor having you here with me, and I'm sorry that our conversation ended on the note that it did."

"Thank you. I appreciate your understanding about my reluctance to indulge in talking about this. And I'm glad to have the opportunity to answer the questions that have been posed about my work." Finished the first voice with a gesture of friendly finality, indicating that the dialogue had concluded.

(The Mirror's Truth by In Flames)

The vessel that harbored the first voice walked out of the radio station with no more of a smile on its face than it had had upon entering. Its blue hair was ruffled slightly by the sea breeze that blew through it and its yellow eyes scanned the path ahead of it.

What had been uttered had not exactly been the truth, but had not exactly been a lie either. The vessel had indeed endured two such events six years prior to the time period in which it now found itself.... but what John had omitted was that the two were actually one and the same.

After he and Aurora had parted under the least pleasant of circumstances, all he'd wanted to do was get as far away from that place as possible. Despite all the wonderful experiences he'd had living where he had, the events of that one tragic and agonizing night seemed to overshadow them all with a cloak of negative connotations and thoughts of how he could have made things different.

The conversation with the radio host had contained many subjects and inquiries; where he lived, with whom he liked to associate, and even what he liked to do. And what he had done was something he had heard many others did upon suffering a great personal loss; he had thrown himself into his work. Nearly a year after taking up residence in Australia, he had graduated from a local university with a major in Marine Biology and a minor in Conservation Biology. He'd decided that he would devote a part of his life to working as hard as he could to help protect the part of the world he loved the most... in a way... it was his final gift to the beautiful shark anthro that had taken him to the highest peak of love.

He sighed and looked up at the slowly dimming sky. The sun had just started to set as he walked trough the parking lot to where his car was.

"Gods I need a rest..." he mused aloud. Talking about Aurora even indirectly had reawakened feelings of sadness and remorse within him. He sighed to himself as he clicked his key ring and unlocked his car, putting on the radio and turning on the ignition. A slight smile spread across his face, the wonderful sound of John Fogerty's vocals slightly soothing his senses as he began to drive back home.

(Eyes of Wrath by Testament)

"Hey there, Tom...." Came John's voice preceded by the slamming of a car door and followed by a soft meow and purring sound. "Come on. I'll give you some food." John said to the white and grey cat that was now rubbing itself against his leg. The stray feline had come to him one day out of the rain seeking shelter from one of the tropical storms that frequently buffeted the coast. True, the place where he used to live wasn't a place he liked to think about, the ocean was still something he loved with all of his soul... and not something he thought from which he could keep himself. His house was still right next to the beach. "It seems as if I have bad luck with people coming to me out of the rain and water..." John had mused to the cat when he'd started allowing him to stay with him.

He closed the door behind him and walked over to the kitchen counter, getting out a can of food for the purring feline. But, upon catching sight of the flavor of the food, he stopped...

Tuna.

"Oh god...."he whispered as a tear slipped from his eye. "Why do you haunt me so...?" he asked no one in particular, maybe whatever deity happened to be listening or had chosen to smite him with constant reminders of his mistake.

He was prevented, however, from continuing along that morbid train of thought, by the feel of Tom once again twining himself around his legs and meowing petulantly. John wiped the tear from his cheek and sniffed softly.

"Okay, okay..." he said as he grabbed a plate and poured out the food onto it, setting it on the floor.

(Sewn Shut Eyes by Testament)

Then he watched with further dismay as the feline promptly buried his muzzle in the small mound of tuna and began to devour it gladly.

Just as Aurora had the day after he had rescued her.

All he could do was sigh and turn from the room, leaving the cat to his dinner and walking over to the couch in his living room. He flopped down with an exasperated sigh. He'd stopped openly bawling about the incident long ago... but every once in a while the pain it had caused him would resurface and cause him to shed a few tears.

It still hurt.

In a few minutes he had fallen into a slightly restless sleep, his last sight being the sun shining over the oceanic waters through the picture window in the room looking out onto the sea.

(Puritania by Dimmu Borgir)

When he awoke it was to a spectacular pink hue outside his window. The sun was just about to set. He yawned and stretched out, just lying there for a few minutes to let himself wake up. He was helped by Tom hopping up onto the couch and lying onto his stomach.

"Hey there..." he said as he stroked behind the cat's ears. "It's a beautiful evening out, isn't it?" he asked, being in full knowledge of the fact that Tom could not understand him and probably wouldn't have cared even if he could. "Want to come outside with me and watch the sun set?" he inquired. "Okay fine then." He said as the feline fixed him with a stare of such utter and complete boredom, mewing petulantly as John rose from his prostrate position. He stretched and yawned and walked over to the front door. He slipped on his sandals and walked outside.

He closed his eyes and smiled. He took a deep breath of the fresh salty air and let it floe through him. He had spoken at the radio station about how he liked to watch the sunset each night. Walking across the sand and plopping himself down in one of the wooden chairs he kept there he smiled to himself. Reclining back and resting his head he looked out onto the gentle surf and watched the various seabirds fight amongst each other for their dinner. It was a daily time of such beauty, even though in a part of his mind, he could still see Aurora's features marred by her tears and highlighted by the light of dusk.

Watching the calmer waters beyond the surfline he recalled the first time he ever saw her. That strange ripple far offshore that had grown closer and closer...

Almost like it was now...

John sat bolt upright in his chair and stared with wide-eyed disbelief at what he was almost certain was a product of his remorseful subconscious that just would not let him let her go.

For there was indeed what appeared to be that same large distortion across the water's surface that he had seen that fateful moonlit night. Closer and closer it came as John's heartbeat increased with every inch it traveled.

"My god..." he could only whisper as the angelic figure that had haunted his dreams and nightmares for six long and painful years began to emerge from the water. Her beautiful face, sumptuous breasts, lithe curves and gorgeous tail graced his eyes for the first time in what felt like forever. She had a rather distraught look upon her face and was glancing around frantically.

Then her eyes fell upon him...

Their gazes held each other for several eternities encompassed in what was actually a second or two. John slowly stood up from his chair, struggling to find his voice with the plethora of thoughts whirling through his head. But all that he felt, all that he wanted to say was encapsulated in a single, but infinitely powerful word.

"Aurora?"

The shark anthro gave a small whimper of undecipherable emotion as she rose to her feet in the shallow water.

"J-John..." came her almost inaudible reply.

One foot in front of the other... John began to slowly move. He started out slow, still looking directly into her hypnotizing eyes, but was soon sprinting towards her... almost afraid that if he did not move swiftly enough that the beautiful mirage would certainly vanish.

Aurora's eyes sparkled with tears, reminding him of the last night they had spent together.

Apart from the fact that she was smiling from ear to ear...

She too began to run towards him as fast as she could.

The collision of their bodies was as an earthquake, the melding of their hearts and lips as a supernova of desire. The force of the impact knocked them both to the ground. Aurora rested atop him and kissed him so fiercely while John crushed his own lips back against hers with passion unsurpassed. Her delicate hands cradled his head with surprising gentleness given the ferocity with which she was kissing him as his own arms squeezed her with rib-crushing force.

(I am Abomination by Exodus)

Both of them wanted to say so many things, so many different things. But all possibility of speech was pushed to the back of their minds as the sheer heat and love they felt for one another boiled to the surface, enabling them to do nothing else apart from kiss each other as if the world would explode should they part.

For thirty full and long minutes he kissed her and was kissed by her in return. Their tongues met and tangled mercilessly inside each other's mouths. She stroked his hair lovingly and wrapped her tail around him while his own hands gripped her shoulders and massaged her back. Aurora's gasps and murrs of happiness entered his mouth and were met by his own vocalizations of joy.

Their eyes were both watering with the absolute overwhelming amount of different emotions flowing through them. John felt shame, happiness, regret, joy, sorrow and jubilation while Aurora was encompassed by desire, empathy, relief, sadness, euphoria and remorse.

"I'm sorry... so... so sorry..." came John's breathless vocalization gasped between fervent kisses.

"Don't." Aurora replied just as hastily as she cupped his face in her hands, looking deeply into his eyes. "Just kiss me..." she whispered just before she once more fused her maw with his lips.

John kissed her back for a few more heavenly moments before he pulled away.

"Aurora. I... I don't know how you can even possibly begin to forgive me for acting the way I did." He said as he just looked at her, his eyes watering anew. He was about to continue, to spill upon her the countess reasons why he was sorry, before he felt her finger on his lips, silencing him immediately.

"John... I know you only got so angry because you loved me so much."

"Y-Yes. I did... I DO!" He hastily said, not wanting her to have even the slightest inkling that he didn't still love her. "I pray that you can grasp the magnitude of what I feel for you, Aurora."

His words caused the shark anthro to smile warmly and lean down to give him yet another kiss.

(Banned from Heaven by Children of Bodom)

"Oh John, I think I should be worried about YOU not being able to comprehend the absolute extent of MY adoration." She cooed softly, still crying slightly. "You saved my life twice in as many days, opened your home and your heart to me, showed me every kindness you were able. I love you John. More than I have ever loved anyone or anything in my entire life." Aurora finished with a smile that seemed like it would split her face.

The human returned her grin with one of his own and hugged her tightly.

"And I love you, Aurora. My admiration's depths elude my ability to describe them to you."

His words brought a small sniffle from his beloved shark femme.

"You have no... possible idea how happy... it m-makes me to hear you say that." Aurora struggled to say but was significantly hindered by the fresh bout of tears. "-After thinking you h-hated me for so long..." But she was assuaged by a gentle hand upon her cheek and a pair of warm lips pressed softly against hers.

"How did you find me?" John asked her softly when they separated. Now that they had reinstated their love for one another, he could ask her what had been burning a hole in the back of his mind since she had appeared.

Aurora just smirked back at him, a slight teasing twinkle evident in her gorgeous eyes.

"Do you remember how I told you I have the ability to hear radio frequencies...?" she queried in a rhetorical voice and left the rest of the statement hanging.

John's eyes widened and he gave himself a mental slap on the forehead.

"Such pain I felt that night. Not specifically because of the circumstances of our parting... but being sure that the man I loved never wanted to see me again. But despite the ambiguity you gave in your description of your ‘incident' on the radio... I knew you were talking about me. And whatever gods bestowed me with the good fortune to be several miles offshore... I thank them profusely. I knew that this might be my only chance to see you again, now knowing that you still cared for me."

"How could I not...?"

"I don't know John. This time of the year is when my kind hunts extensively, bulking up on fat and energy so we can make our yearly migration. I just HAD to see you one last time... before I have to leave again." The smile vanished from her visage as she once more had to speak those soul-wrenching words.

The effect was similar on John. His eyes widened and he just stared at her in disbelief before he began to shake his head.

"N-No... please... please don't. Please, I can't take losing you again!" he began to cry once more as he struggled to find the words, ANY words that could possibly persuade her to stay.

"John. I said I would leave again. I didn't say I wouldn't come back..." Aurora almost purred to him.

The human's eyes widened to an even bigger size as he stared at her in a sort of disbelieving happiness.

"Y-You mean...?" was all he was able to say. After being in the same scenario six years before, the prospect of a different outcome left him nigh speechless.

(We're Not Gonna Fall by Children of Bodom)

"Yes, my love." She answered. The term of endearment tasted so sweet to her lips and she smiled, now looking forward to being able to use it on him many, may more times. "While I swam here I was thinking. Hunting in the wild is all well and good... but if I were to come back to you for one week a year.... Would you be able to help me fuel up for my migration with some more of that delicious tuna?" she asked in a chiding manner, giggling softly as she heard him chuckle with jubilation and murring as she felt him pull her down into another kiss.

"Nothing... and I mean NOTHING in this entire world would make me happier." John nearly whimpered when their lips parted again. "I'm still sorry you have to leave again, but please... just give me one more night with you... one night to show you just how much I love you." he murmured to her in as clear of a voice as he could manage. It was so hard for him. With those words, as vague as they were, came his erection now straining against his blue jeans. It was only now that he had even noticed his own arousal because the minutes preceding had been filled with such emotional turmoil and elation. But now that everything between them had been established and straightened out, all he could think of was making sweet, sweet love to her. If she was going to once more step out of his life, even briefly, he wanted to have a powerful memory to cling to in her absence.

Without giving her a chance to answer he rolled over so that he was atop her.

"I love you, Aurora." He said in a soft, yet overwhelmingly sincere voice just before he kissed her deeply.

The shark anthro blushed and kissed him back. She felt the bulge in the front of his pants pressing against her hip and moaned as it rubbed against her flesh. "Yes John... g-give me something..... mmmm.... to remember you... b-by......" Aurora moaned against his lips in a broken voice marred slightly by her own steadily increasing arousal. "Until we see each other again."

She wanted to mate with him...wanted to feel him inside her... to feel his lips pressed against hers forever. And although it was something she was convinced would be a rapid and heady affair... it was something she desired desperately.

(Opium of the People by Slipknot)

But these expectations were dashed as he pulled away and began kissing her neck softly. Her eyes widened as his lips and tongue teased her smooth flesh. "Oh J-John!" she gasped with the small twinges of pleasant sensations firing through her.

"What?" he asked in a somewhat worried voice, worried that he had touched some overly sensitive spot and immediately pulled away to look questioningly and somewhat apologetically at her.

"T-That felt good..." Aurora replied in a heavy whisper. "Please... please do it again." She said, imploringly this time as she leaned up to nuzzle at him.

John could only smile and rub his head back against her elegant maw.

"With love and pleasure, Aurora." He said with that same smile and ever so gently pressed his lips against the hollow of her throat just above her collarbone in a whisper-soft kiss.

Aurora shivered slightly as the male of her dreams heaped affection and love upon her in ways she had never felt. Kissing was the extent of her species displays of affection short of animalistic matings. So needless to say John display of foreplay was quite foreign to her. But it wasn't the first time he'd shown her something unfamiliar to her utter enjoyment and flattery.

(Choke Sermon by Lamb of God)

"I love you so much." John whispered into her neck as his hands took up the task of gently wandering and caressing the rest of her lithe form.

"M-Me too!" Aurora responded in the form of a deep moan. Her vaginal lips started to become slick and sensitive with her steadily increasing arousal, brought about by this entirely new form of physical contact.

The human withdrew a few feet to look upon her feminine exotic splendor. The two of them had whittled away the remainder of the photic period engrossed in each other's lips and now the moon and starlight made her moist skin glow and shimmer as if she was made of the ocean herself. And as his eyes were drawn to her prominent chest, his hands followed suit as he tentatively reached up and cupped her breasts. They felt wonderful. Each fit his grasp perfectly as he gently kneaded them, squeezing with his hands ever so lightly as she arched up against him gently and her nipples hardened against his palms.

"Gods... I've wanted to do this with you ever since I first laid eyes upon your gorgeous body."

"Then do so to your heart's content, John. My body is yours... as is my heart." She almost whimpered in happiness with each successive pontification she gave.

The human could only kiss her thankfully as his heart rejoiced. And as his chest swelled with joy his head lowered once again towards her beautiful breasts.

"Ooooohhh..." was all Aurora could hiss as John's lips sealed around one of her sensitive nipples, the human now suckling her left breast softly. She arched her body up against him and cradled his head in her hands. Certainly she knew that the young of her race fed in this manner.... but never had she dreamed that the same thing could bring her such pleasure.

John ran his tongue around her fleshy peak and applied gentle suction, delighted when he heard her moan and arch beneath him. He also felt her take gentle hold of his head and pull him against her. He hummed happily and moved to her other breast, kissing the nipple before drawing it fully into his mouth and sucking gently.

Aurora was in heaven. Never before had such physical tenderness been shown to her, and it had her panting with soft pleasure and steadily growing desire.

"It's just as I told you. Your body is nothing to be ashamed of. For the longest time... I've wished I could suck on your perfect breasts..." he mused from above her as he gave each of her nipples a kiss.

"Oh John. This all feels so wonderful. But I would.... like to see your body as well." She said in a somewhat shy manner. Even though she had seen him naked from behind in the bathroom that one day, there was one part of him she still hadn't seen.

John looked at her and nodded his head with a smile. "Of course, my love." He said as he rose up on his knees. He slowly pulled his shirt over his head and tossed it aside as an afterthought and looked at her expectantly.

Aurora's eyes sparkled at his now nude upper body. Her hands rose from her sides and tentatively ran over his firm pecs and chest. He let out a contented sigh as she touched him, her delicate fingers and palms dancing over his flesh.

"Your skin feels so good..." she said almost in wonderment as her hands moved up to rub his shoulders.

"Do you know where it would feel even better?" he asked her with a loving twinkle in his yellow eyes.

(Prophecy by Death Angel)

Before the shark anthro could voice a guess he eased his upper body down onto hers, his face mere inches from her elegant muzzle.

"Pressed against yours..." he whispered just before he kissed her again.

Aurora murred deeply and draped her arms around his neck. Her eyes slid closed as she kissed him back. He truly did feel wonderful with his cut chest pressed so intimately against hers with her breasts pressing into his pecs. She rubbed herself against him as they kissed, drinking in the long-sought sensation of his sculpted form embracing hers once again.

But when she pulled away her mind began to work. Slowly, carefully, she craned her neck up and kissed his cheek experimentally. And when she felt him sigh contentedly atop her she smiled and gently ran her tongue down his neck to his throat.

"Mmm... It felt so good when you did it to me. I want to make you feel good as well." She said in a soft and loving voice, before she leaned up to his ear. "I want to make you feel as good as you made me feel six years ago."

"Just being here with you makes me feel better than I've felt IN six years." He responded as he stroked her back and just let her have her way with him. Her tender lips brushed over his throat, nibbling and kissing happily down to his collarbone. Ever since she had seen him cloaked in that apron of steam in the bathroom, she had yearned to explore him, to touch his bare flesh... and so many other things. And soon her maw reached his chest, which stopped her for a moment. She stared at his nipples and then looked back up at him, and was met with a warm smile and warm, adoring eyes.

Aurora smiled back at him and then leaned in to drag her tongue gently around his now hardened nub of flesh. She felt him tense and stopped, until she felt his hand gently on the back of her head, urging her onward.

"I'm sorry, Aurora. But after dreaming and wishing and hoping for so, so long, that I might be graced with a chance to see you again... just feeling you do that causes such an explosion of happiness that I almost can't stand it." John whispered as his skin erupted in goosebumps.

(Deny the Cross by Overkill)

His words almost made Aurora's chest explode with how much her heart swelled with joy. Saying nothing and instead ravenously partaking of the fact that she could show him such happiness and pleasure, she gently kissed his nipple and drew it into her mouth to suckle gently on it just as he had done for her.

John's eyes closed and he held her against him as she tenderly pleasured him, catching onto the idea of foreplay quite quickly.

Aurora, similarly, felt her arousal begin to peak as she released his nipple from her maw and began to bestow his chest with soft licks and nibbles.

"Oh John... I need you." she almost whimpered as her thighs quivered with anticipation and she rubbed herself against him with desire, looking up at him imploringly. "I need you to mate me..."

Hearing her saying that, almost begging him to take her, almost made his erection rip right through his shorts. But even though the object of his desires was imploring him to partake of them, there was one last thing he wanted to do.

"Then let me dull the ache." The human whispered with a voice dripping with passion and love as he cupped her chin and brought her soft muzzle up to his lips for a kiss.

Aurora soon found herself on her back once again as he pulled back to drink in her perfect body with his eyes.

"You're so beautiful." She heard him say to her as his golden eyes gazed into her beautiful blue ones. She returned his loving expression with one of her own but opened her maw in a gasp of surprised pleasure as he dipped his head back down and began kiss her tender flesh right below her breasts. She cradled him against her and watched him with adoration and slight surprise as he began to move his kisses lower. She couldn't help but giggle slightly as his lips and tongue tickled her trim belly before she suddenly felt him shift back to rest his body on the sand before her.

He nudged her legs apart so he could gaze in wonderment at her glistening vagina. Her labium was swollen slightly with her arousal and her small pink clitoris rested so perfectly at the apex of her lips.

"John!" the shark anthro gasped heavily in utter surprise and love as he slowly ran his tongue from the bottom of her sex right to the top. His oral muscle delved ever so slightly past her outer lips and scraped just a bit against her delectable pink insides. She tasted wonderful. There was a slight tanginess to her essence. But beneath it... John could taste her undeniable sweetness.

Aurora squirmed beneath him slightly from the sheer exhilaration she was feeling. It had felt so soft and loving when he was kissing her neck, but she'd never expected him to do anything even remotely close to what he was doing now. And even if she had, she was certain it wouldn't have felt anywhere near this good.

"Mmmm..." the human hummed happily against her pussy. It was obvious from her reaction that she had never experienced cunnilingus before. This made him smile into her folds and give her yet another teasing lick, so unbearably happy to be able to finally be able to give her the pleasure he wanted to. "You taste so wonderful, my beloved little shark. Even better than I had dreamed."

"Oh g-gods...!" she whimpered and looked down at him with a slightly glazed expression. "What are you doing to me?"

"This is called oral sex. It is where one individual brings pleasure to the other's genitals by means of their mouth, lips..... and even tongue." He finished by flicking her sensitive clitoris with said appendage, making her squeal softly. Then he took his fingers and spread her outer lips open... pressing his own lips against them so he could assault her innermost recesses with his tongue.

"Y-Yes John. Keep g-going..." the shark anthro panted before her back arched again. His tongue suddenly delving deep within her sent a veritable tsunami of bliss throughout her. She willingly spread her legs for him and just lie back on the sand to let him pleasure her.

John grinned as he saw her expose herself submissively and took the opportunity to take hold of her hips and pull her towards him. This simple action caused his probing tongue to go even deeper than before and he was immediately given a small flow of her inner juices as well as an outright scream of ecstasy from above him.

Her love for him seemed to increase with each passing second they were together. Hearing him express his heartfelt remorse over the radio, finally being reunited with him, spending over half an hour locked in a heavenly kiss, and now having him bestow such tenderness and pleasure upon her made her cry his name in complete rapture and utter elation. Not physical; the mere bodily sensations she was feeling, while prodigious, were utterly dwarfed by the profound, immeasurable happiness that vibrated trough her entire being as the events of the day coalesced into one single perfect moment.

Aurora came.

"JOHN!"

The emotional weight of having him back and doing so many wonderful things to her was too much for the shark anthro to take as her back arched completely off the sand. Her sex contracted and pulsed uncontrollably around his tongue, her body a maelstrom of pleasure and love. Her lithe tail went completely straight as she cried and yelled with her euphoric spasms of her first climax.

John was a tad surprised that she had reached her peak so quickly, but nevertheless lapped up the flood of her delicious juices as they flowed out of her. Working his tongue against her sensitive inner walls to pleasure her further through her orgasm. Her legs clamped together around his head reflexively as she tried to get more of the unbelievable sensations he was giving her, until her body came back under her control and she sagged back to the sand, exhausted.

"W-W-What was that?" was all the shark anthro could gasp.

The human pulled his head from between her legs to regard her seriously for a moment. His face now very wet with her feminine fluids as he moved to lie gently atop her chest.

"That is what is known as an orgasm, my beloved Aurora. When a male has one he ejaculates his sperm through his penis, but females can have them too. And as I'm sure you can tell, it is often an extreme burst of pleasure." He cooed as he once more pressed his lips to hers, giving her a taste of her own femininity. "And I know it can be even more intense if you have deep feelings for the person you share it with." He finished as he pulled away.

Aurora looked up at him with eyes once more shimmering with tears and that face-splitting smile had once again appeared. She reached up and cupped his face in her hands.

"You're so wonderful, John. I love you so very much." She whispered as her eyes bored into his. "And if what you say is true... then no wonder it felt so incredible."

John beamed down at her but gasped softly as he felt one of her hands slip into his pants and rub over his buttocks. Her hand cupped, squeezed and kneaded his flesh and made his cock twitch with arousal even more.

"You know, there is still one part of your body that I haven't seen yet." The shark femme cooed from beneath him.

"Are you sure, Aurora?" John asked, but almost mentally slapped himself for asking such a question his current arousal being as high as it was. But then his common sense came back to him, as he wish it would have six years ago when he had foolishly sent her away, and he reminded himself that if this was going to happen.... They both had to want it to happen.

"Of course I am, my darling. I think this is always what I desired. I want to be one with you, John. And after such a long time living with the pain of the past, I want to start a new future." She cooed. "Now please... let me see you."

Now confident that there was nothing standing in the way of them fully consummating their love, John raised himself off of her and stood up. Never once breaking eye contact, he took a side of his pants in each hand and pulled them slowly down his legs.

Aurora's eyes sparkled as they fell upon the wondrous sight of his penis for the first time, wonderfully erect and standing proudly at its full seven inches. Unable to stop herself she felt her arm raise itself from her side, her delicate hand gently grasping him and feeling the warmth of his shaft and the pulse of his heartbeat.

"You're beautiful, John. With nothing to hide you... you're beautiful." She cooed with a voice so full of love and desire that she was half surprised she could even speak at all.

The human shivered slightly as her hand wrapped around his cock. The simple action caused him to press his hips towards her in silent physical voice of what he so burned to do.

"I'm happy you find me as attractive as I find you... my beloved." He said with a pleased expression as he let her explore his manhood.

The shark anthro marveled at the texture of his shaft. She ran her hand up and down the length of it before rubbing her thumb around the head. Then her other hand moved lower and cupped his balls, slowly rolling them around in their sac and making John moan softly.

But she didn't keep up her exploration for very long. Having him bare before her and intimately exploring his manhood had once more caused her arousal to resurge. And seeing his own desire being as prominent as it was made her inner things become sensitive and moist with anticipation once again. She looked up at him with eyes sparkling with love and pulled herself away from him slightly.

"John... I need you. I need you to mate me. Now..." Aurora whispered as she lie back and spread her legs for him. She fixed him with a blatantly lustful stare. But beneath that... John could clearly see her deep-seeded love for him as well. And it caused him to smile back at her and ease himself onto his knees before her. His upper body rested above hers, one of his hands planted to either side of her elegant head.

"No, I'm not going to mate you." the human told her with the same warm smile on his face.

The shark anthro looked back up at him with a look of utter confusion and the beginnings of despair. But just as she was about to say something she felt him press his lips against hers and she was immediately silenced, wrapping her arms around his neck and returning the kiss with quivering desire.

"I'm going to make love to you." John murmured to her as they pulled apart.

"What?" she queried with a confused expression.

"It means I'm going to mate you with the same love and tenderness I showed you earlier, and have always tried to show you."

Aurora's eyes brightened and she leaned up to kiss his cheek.

"Yes, you have. And you've always succeeded. And don't ever stop.... don't ever stop..." she said before her speech gave way to a needy whimper as she rubbed herself against him. "P-Please John... I can't wait any longer!"

"Then no longer shall you wait, my love." He replied as at long last he took the base of his cock in his hand and positioned the head of it at the entrance to her sacred depths. He closed his eyes for a long moment just to be sure that this wasn't all still some kind of dream. And when he opened them again he was still looking into the eyes of the shark anthro with whom he shared so much love. And then he realized that it WAS a dream...

... a dream that he hoped would never end.

Very, very slowly John began to carefully push his hips forward. His heart rejoiced as the head of his member slipped gently past her outer lips and began to slide softly against her inner walls.

Aurora gasped and gave a soft cry of elation as her love's manhood glided inside her. Her legs immediately clamped themselves around his waist and her arms enwrapped his neck as she eyed him with bright eyes filled with the beginnings of untold pleasure.

John also moaned deeply as inch by inch he sank deeper and deeper into the silky core of his beloved. She felt so warm, almost as if her love for him seeped through her very flesh and enveloped his cock in a blanket of beautiful heated wetness.

At long last his hips finally came to rest against her rump as his length rested fully inside her, cradled delicately yet firmly by her needy inner walls.

"Oh J-John..." she whispered, barely able to speak from the sheer revelation that her desires were finally coming to fruition.

"I love you so much, Aurora. So very much." He replied in a heated whisper amidst the prelude to ragged breathing. "Now let me show you..."

"Yes my darling... m-make... love to me." The shark anthro gasped back at him as she somewhat struggled with his terminology, making him chuckle softly and kiss her.

With nothing else left to be said and only one left to be done, the human gently pulled his hips back until only the head of his arousal remained within her before sliding himself all the way back in with a groan of passion, love and pleasure. Aurora arched herself against him, her breasts pressing into his chest. John wrapped one arm around her back to hold her against him like that as he began to slowly, gently, lovingly thrust in and out of her.

Soft exclamations permeated the air with each plunge John gave into Aurora. Their hands roamed and caressed each other's bodies as they'd ached to do for so long. Their lips were fused together in a beautiful kiss, their tongues meeting and dancing intimately with each thrust. Aurora raised her hips off the sand instinctively to meet him each time he surged forward gently, seeking more of the incredible sensations that his cock so deep inside her caused.

Her lithe tail wrapped around his body even as her hands roamed down his back and found purchase on his taut buttocks. Ever since the day she had seen him naked she had wanted to feel him there... to drink in the feel of his most attractive attribute. But now, with her feeling and admiring his posterior flesh coupled with the masculine spire piercing her so deliciously, it was all she could do not to scream with rapture.

Finding a solution she was able to squeeze his buttocks all the more firmly by pulling him further against and into her each time he stroked forward. Pleasure cascaded through her, radiating outward from her sex until it seemed to vibrate and occupy her entire body.

John was in a similar state. With every thrust his manhood was massaged smoothly by Aurora's vaginal walls. Her smooth skin felt so incredibly good against his own flesh and the two of them moaned with pleasure into the kiss they still held as they made love together in a physical manifestation of what both of them had burned to do for six long years.

"Oh.... John.... Yes..." Aurora nearly sobbed with joyous bliss every time his cock slid into her.

"Gods!" he gasped with pleasure from their movements. In the midst of their intimate dance he once again cupped her plump breasts and suckled deeply on them both in turn.

"J-John... I-I.... think I'm going t-to... o-oo...oooOOOOHHHHYES!" Aurora stuttered half from her having trouble remembering his term for the peak of bodily pleasure, and half from actually experiencing it. Her sex convulsed and contracted wildly around his thrusting length as his mouth on her breasts pushed her over the edge. Her back arched off the sand once again and her maw opened in a screech of ecstasy. Her hands pulled his hips against her harder than ever as she tried to get him deeper, her tail thrashing wildly in her pleasure.

So many things ran through John's mind. The six years they'd been apart, the pain he felt, the love that had always outweighed it, the pleasure flowing through his body, her smooth flesh pressed against his, the way she was convulsing so wonderfully around his cock and at long last just being able to make love to his beautiful Aurora. It was all far too much for him to take.

He poured all the love he had for her into the kiss he pressed to her lips, even as he slid his manhood as deep into her as he could manage and released that same love in the form of burst after burst of hot seed. Aurora moaned heavily against his mouth as she kissed him back, savoring each pulse of his semen that rushed against her vaginal walls. They enfolded each other in all extremities at their disposal and let their combined adoration and desire wash over their entwined bodies.

"So long..." John panted as the two of them began to come down from their glorious simultaneous climax. "So goddamn long... I've wanted to do that..."

The shark anthro beamed up at him and stroked his back lovingly, savoring the feeling of his warm cum filling her, and knowing that it was a feeling she would feel again, and again... and again.

"I know my beloved. Mating with you has been the only thing that has occupied my dreams and fantasies for so very long." She whispered as her eyes began to droop slightly, the afterglow beginning to consume her. "Mmmm. But I never thought it could feel so... so wonderful."

John rested himself atop her, finally able to be in her embrace completely; in her arms, in her sex... and in her heart.

"I know, Aurora. It was amazing... and even more special because I shared it with you." he said, giving her another kiss and resting his head beneath her chin. "Please, I know you have to leave. But will you please let me fall asleep with you in my arms one last time?" he asked, not sure how she would respond but relieved as he felt her arms around him tighten.

"Even though I may be gone in the morning, John... I will never let you go again."

With that, both of them finally succumbed to the emotional weight of that had transpired and fell into a blissful slumber together.

John's eyes slowly opened and the first thing that came into his mind was the fact that he was alone. He sat up with a start and looked around for Aurora.

She was gone.

The morning light blinded his eyes as he could not help but wonder it had all been some kind of dream, that he had maybe fallen asleep on the beach the night before and his subconscious had fabricated the entire fantasy.

But then he saw the footprints...

There were indeed indentations in the sand in a staggered fashion leading back into the ocean from where he lay... as well as a line down the middle of the path that could only have been left by her tail.

John smiled to himself, sincerely happy for the first time in longer than he could accurately recall.

"I love you, Aurora." He whispered to the sea, and he felt a whisper kiss of the wind against his cheek, almost as if she were answering him.

With that same face-splitting grin he got up and began walking back towards his house. It seemed fitting... because the setting sun held memories of her leaving him... now the rising sun he was staring into as he walked would hold the memories they had made when she had returned.
