[center][b][u]Keeping a Promise[/u][/b][/center]

Tamara only wanted what was best for her friends, they knew that. Both of them were just out of pretty rough relationships, and she knew them well enough to know that they were both likely to rebound pretty hard with someone else. They'd met just days before, Tamara wanting to spend time with each of them in order to check in and make sure that they were doing okay, the result being all three of them going to the mall together. To her delight, they'd hit it off right from the start. To her horror though, they'd [i]really[/i] hit it off, and by the end of that day she'd been able to see the flirtation, the excitement, the hope that this time things would be different, better than their last relationships.

The snow leopard had taken each of them aside, and told them the same thing.

"I can't watch you guys do this. If you got together and it didn't work out, if you ended things on bad terms and both came to me to tell me how bad the other one of you was... it'd fuck me up. You're two of my best friends, and I don't wanna be put in that situation. So, please... before anything starts, before anything can even begin to happen between you, please make me this promise. No matter how much you like each other, no matter how tempted you might be and how badly you tell yourselves you need it after everything you've been through, I want you to promise that you won't lay a single hand upon each other. Please, promise me that."

And of course, because they both loved Tamara so dearly, they had made that promise. They had meant it, too. But then... then they'd hung out some more. For the rest of that evening, and then the next day. And the next, and even when Tamara was busy with work and couldn't afford to spend any more time helping them through their break ups, the next. They hung out together, just the two of them, and it was all so easy. All so warm and familiar and... god, they were perfect together. Neither one of them had ever felt like this before. Rex tried to tell himself that Tamara was right, that this was just him looking for a connection with someone else, someone he perceived to be willing to communicate and commit after Sandra had told him she wasn't looking for the sort of serious relationship he obviously was. Ellie tried to tell herself that Tamara was right, that this was just her seeking the same level of comfort and familiarity she had been used to with Nicholas before catching him cheating. They promised themselves they wouldn't break her confidence, they wouldn't betray her trust.

But, god, the time they spent together... laughing till they cried, sharing stories both good and bad from their past so freely and without judgement, without shame. It was incredible. Tamara's friend, this person they couldn't believe they'd only ever heard the snow leopard's stories about until so recently, was like the missing piece of a puzzle they hadn't even realised was incomplete. They knew how cliché it was, they knew how unbelievably quick it was to be thinking such things, but when they looked into their new friend's eyes and saw the longing and sorrow reflected back at them, longing that was sincere and sorrow that they could not act upon it without breaking a promise they were not willing to break, only one word sprang immediately to mind.

Soulmate.

Another day passed. They hung out with Tamara, and when they left her apartment they found themselves not parting ways and saying goodnight, but getting coffee together. Then dinner. Then drinks. Then... then they were standing outside of Ellie's apartment, neither one of them speaking, both staring down at the ground then up at each other in desperation and frustration, and then...

"I won't break my promise."

Ellie murmured, and Rex nodded back as he watched the beautiful ring-tailed lemur place her hands behind her back as though to avoid temptation.

"Neither will I."

He did the same thing. Ellie whimpered.

"But..."

Their eyes met as the lemur's word hung in the air before the coyote. Their breath caught in their throat as they saw it in one another's gaze. Unabashed, unrestrained, a wordless declaration of love that screamed itself to them louder than any voice ever could. They sprang forward, arms still behind their backs, and kissed. Their bodies pressed together, their eyes widened in joy and wonder as their muzzles met and tongues flicked out to greet one another at last. The two of them sagged against the other anthro in joyous relief, and when finally their lips parted and they simply stood there, leaning together with their hands behind their backs and their foreheads resting together, the coyote murmured tenderly to the most incredible person he had ever met.

"I won't break my promise... or let you break yours. But, I can't keep pretending. I can't keep acting like I'm sensible. Like I'm just going to sit here and wait for a month or two months or however long Tamara thinks is long enough for me to get over my last relationship, or for you to get over yours. I can't keep faking it like I... like I don't love you, Ell."

The lemur let loose a strained cry of pure, giddy emotion, and they kissed again. They kissed so long and so deep their heads span, and as they finally withdrew once more, trembling and panting, they both knew there was no other possible way for this night to end other than with the words which escaped Ellie's lips just moments later.

"I love you too, and... Rex, please. I need you."

Minutes later they were in Ellie's apartment. They watched one another undress without once lending a hand. They resisted the urge to explore, to reach out and touch one another's soft fur no matter how much they wanted to. They stared, they drank in the other anthro's gorgeous figure without the slightest restraint, all at once very much aware that this was their first time seeing one another naked and yet not feeling the slightest shred of awkwardness or nerves, just desperately eager anticipation. Ellie's breasts were small, and even when fully erect her nipples were barely visible through the fluffy white fur of her chest, but when she felt Rex staring at them she had never felt more proud of her body, more desired and revered by someone's gaze without the slightest shred of objectification. A strained moan escaped her muzzle as she looked at him in turn, and watched his erection twitch, watched it throbbing hungrily, pleadingly at the very sight of her.

"The bed. Please."

She whispered feverishly to the coyote, and giggled as they flung themselves down upon it separately, positioning themselves seated cross legged, face to face with their hands still behind their backs to avoid temptation and to prove to one another how serious they both were about keeping their promises to Tamara. They knew of course that they could touch themselves, there was nothing preventing that, but they didn't want to. It was obvious, it was written clear as day across their faces that they wanted to be responsible for their lover's pleasure. For what they hoped, what they sincerely believed would be the first moments of ecstasy of a whole lifetime. The solution was obvious as they gazed over at one another, and it was Ellie who took the initiative.

She shuffled back a little, and uncrossed her legs. Even before a single world had escaped her muzzle, she giggled as Rex blushed and opened his own legs too, leaning back a little and using his hands to support himself, at least making them useful in some small respect while he blushed and beamed at the lemur.

"I... I've never... tell me if it's okay, okay?"

Her words were nervous, bashful for the first time, but her motions betrayed her eagerness. One foot then the other reached out across the space between them, and as Rex huffed and nodded with his tongue lolling out in euphoric anticipation the lemur's beautiful, delicate bare footpaws moved closer and closer to his exposed, straining cock. Her toes brushed against his tip, and he groaned in pleasure. Ellie bit her lip and moaned right back, hips rocking, grinding her crotch down against the soft sheets upon which they were sitting as she delicately took Rex's erection between the toes of both feet and began to slowly, cautiously caress it.

"Oh god. O-oh my... oh my fucking god, Ellie. That feels, a-ahh, fuck. That feels amazing."

The coyote growled and grunted with such intensity as the lemur began her footjob that Ellie was almost a little taken aback, presuming that it couldn't have been any skill on her part not because she lacked confidence, but because she simply had zero experience in this field before right now.

"Oh, Rex... I... I'm glad. Is this something you... I mean, did you already... y'know, [i]like[/i] paws?"

She had never asked a lover such a bold and up front question about their preferences before, but like everything she said to Rex it came out so naturally, so easily that she didn't even think until after she'd said it about just how intimate a question that was. It might have bothered some people to be asked even as the act itself was taking place, but not the coyote currently on the receiving end. He shook his head, panting and grinning at the beautiful, naked, giddily squirming lemur.

"No. Not before now, anyway. Not before [i]your[/i] paws. But, holy shit Ellie... I... [i]ah[/i], if it feels this good, I hope you won't be upset if I ask for this to happen again, even when we can use our hands."

There was so much contained in that comment. So many assumptions made, so many beliefs stated without the slightest guarding caution. Rex thought they were going to do this again. He thought they were going to ask Tamara to be released from their promise, which in turn implied telling her that they truly did want to have something happen between them. Something worth telling their friend about despite her worrying with regard to the consequences of that very outcome.

Yet in that moment, as Ellie worked Rex's cock between her feet more firmly and boldly, taking more of his hot, throbbing length between the pads of her paws and feeling it, exploring his manhood with the soft soles of her feet, none of those assumptions seemed like anything more than stating the absolute obvious. Of course they were going to do this again. Of course they were going to ask Tamara to be released from their promise to her. And when they did... oh god, when they did there would be so many other things they could do, so many things they could share together. But even then, Ellie too felt as though she would want to share this experience with Rex again. To feel his cock straining between her paws and to shudder, to whimper feverishly aloud when she felt his pre-cum beginning to dribble out against her wriggling toes.

"Ah. Ah, god... Ellie. Can you... can you promise me something?"

Rex gasped as he rocked his hips forward, bucking against the lemur's heavenly caressing of his cock, watching as his shaft emerged and slipped back between the smooth pads of her perfect paws with ever increasing urgency. Eagerness played a role in the quickening of their pace there was no doubt, but lubrication was undeniably a factor too. He could see his pre-cum glistening upon her toes, upon his shaft and the pads of her feet themselves. He could feel her footpaws gliding over him with that lubrication to assist them, and he could see the hunger in her eyes as she looked up at him with a frantic, sincere nod before turning her gaze down again and greedily fixating upon his cock as it throbbed and twitched under her ever more experienced and excited ministrations.

"I'm gonna cum soon, and... after I do..."

He trailed off for a moment as his confession of approaching orgasm drew a strangled wail from the lemur, a sound of pure ecstasy even though her own pussy was still just helplessly grinding away at the bedding beneath them.

"...after I do, I need you to tie my hands behind my back. Otherwise, I... when I put my head between your legs and eat you out, I might forget. I might not be able to think of anything else but making you feel good, and... I don't want to break my promise, even accidentally."

Ellie giggled, but whimpered and shook her head.

"Aaa-ahh, but Rex... how am I meant to tie your hands up w-without touching them, without touching [i]you[/i] with my hands?"

The coyote groaned and nodded, shuddering as he stared down between Ellie's legs and licked his lips.

"I have to make you cum, Ellie. I... I [b]have[/b] to."

The lemur moaned happily, working her feet faster and faster against Rex's cock as she felt it surging and throbbing ever more violently between her paws, clearly rising rapidly towards its peak.

"You think I'm gonna let you out of this apartment, let you leave this bed without making me cum?"

Both of them whimpered feverishly, and stared at one another in lust and adoration of equally potent measures as Ellie shook her head with another frantic, overwhelmed burst of laughter.

"No way. You'll make me cum, and you'll keep your hands to yourself while you do it. Besides..."

She nibbled on her bottom lip, eyes rolling back for a moment as she grunted and shuddered at the mere thought running through her mind at that moment.

"If I can get you off with my paws... I don't see why you shouldn't try doing the same with yours."

The lemur stared longingly down at the coyote's feet with her ringed tail whipping urgently around the bed behind her, and her clit ached as she imagined those toe-pads grazing up against it and wiggling their way into her hot, desperately wet depths. As hot as that fantasy was for her though, from the wild howl that escaped Rex just moments later it was every bit as deliciously appealing to him.

"Ellie!"

He cried out, and the lemur felt his cock strain as it had never strained before, the tension rising within it but not releasing again as it had before. Just lingering, building, building and... Ellie's eyes widened as she realised what that meant. What was about to happen.

"I love you!"

She cried out to Rex, wishing she could take his hands in hers, wishing she could lunge forward, wrap her arms tight around his body and sink down onto his cock in the moments before it let loose. For now though the touch of her feet and the truth of her words would have to do. And they did, as barely a handful of seconds later Rex's eyes glazed over, his muzzle fell slack as he stared glassily down at Ellie's beautiful paws around his cock, and he let slip a long, lingering groan of pure and gleeful relief.

His cock twitched sharply a split-second later, and the first streak of his cum launched out with such force that it sailed cleanly through the air between Ellie's legs and splashed across her stomach right down to her crotch. The lemur shrieked in bliss, and as her toes curled and momentarily encircled the tip of her new lover's erection the second, then the third streak of his cum surged forth and splashed out against that newly placed barrier. His hot cum dribbled between her toes and down her footpaws as they squeezed and rubbed at the straining shaft, Rex grunting mindlessly while Ellie cried out louder, shrieking with excitement and laughter at the delight, the wonder of seeing and feeling Rex coating her feet with cum. She kept on working him right the way through his orgasm, her paws dripping with his cum and spreading that copious seed back onto the shaft itself, rubbing its hot, sticky wetness between her soles and Rex's hot, still urgently twitching flesh. Her paws continued to move against him even as his grunts lessened in intensity and he began to pant, to whimper in satisfaction and the beginning's of over-stimulation instead, and it was only when he called out her name, pleading for relief that with a giggle and one last wriggle of her glistening toes against his tip she pulled her paws away from his cum-coated, utterly satisfied shaft.

"Oh god."

Rex groaned happily.

"O-oh my god, that was..."

He grinned. He ran his hands over his ears, eyes widening a moment later as he bashfully hid them away behind his back once again. His red face beamed at Ellie as he saw her admiring him and her handiwork, and then with a snort of laughter he gently allowed himself to fall back flat against the bed, lying down and groaning in perfect contentment. Even with his eyes falling shut and his body taking a moment to recover from the sheer wonderful intensity of that peak though, he didn't stop. Not entirely. Rex's upper body fell flat, but as he did so one of his legs extended forward towards Ellie. She felt it brush against her knee, eyes widening and a bashful, eager giggle escaping her as it began to follow the inside edge of her leg upward. Sliding past her thigh, across its trembling flesh, and towards what lay at the very apex of Ellie's loins.

The coyote didn't look up once, but Ellie could see him grinning, see the look of excitement and determination on his face as his toes tested the waters and grazed across her pubic mound. The lemur sighed in contentment, and just as her lover had done beforehand she leaned back on her hands, exposing herself to whatever kinds of contact Rex was permitted to share with her. She felt his toes and their velvety pads exploring. Learning. She felt them grow teasingly closer to the wetness and bare flesh of her pussy itself, and groaned in frustration and pleading urgency as they instead wiggled in the opposite direction, Rex growling as he traced and rubbed the trail of cum he'd fired across her nether regions into the lemur's soft fur.

"Rex, please... touch me."

Ellie asked, and to her delight upon hearing her request the coyote stopped teasing, stopped playing around, and pulled himself up on his elbows to watch himself as he guided his toes back into position. Mere seconds later his first two toes teased their way between Ellie's vulva, and guided their way up to its apex where her clit was already throbbing, protruding from its hood.

"God, Ell..."

Rex growled, able to feel and [i]see[/i] how wet the lemur was, his toes already glistening damp from their brief exploration so far. A part of him wanted to explore her pussy itself more, to get more of his foot glistening wet with her juices, but he resisted that urge. Right now what he wanted, and what Ellie seemed to want more than anything else was for the lemur to cum. To experience what he had experienced just as intensely and just as eagerly as him.

He pressed his toes to her clit, and began to rub them in slow, firm circles upon that intensely sensitive nub. He watched Ellie's eyes bulge, worrying for a moment that he had applied too much direct stimulation and hurt her. But then, a fraction of a moment later, a ragged, frantic cry escaped Ellie's muzzle, and as her long tail thumped heavily against the bed behind her he saw her hands grasping at the bedding and clawing great handfuls of it in obvious pleasure.

"Right there!"

She shrieked in almost disbelieving rapture, having known that she was horny as hell and having hoped that his toes would feel good against her, but not having dared to believe it would feel [i]that[/i] incredibly good.

"Rex. Oh, oh god, Rex! Keep going."

He grinned. Keep going? There was nothing in this world, short of her asking him to do so, that would have made him stop.

"Like that. Just like that!"

Her cries continued to ring out around the bedroom, her hips rose off the bed and pressed forward, grinding her pussy against the coyote's questing paw. She looked so hot and so gorgeously, perfectly happy.

"A-aaaahhyes, just... [i]yes[/i]!"

Her pleas trailed off into ever more mindless, wild cries of pleasure. She thrashed, she wailed, she soaked Rex's paw as thanks to the extreme excitement of watching him get off she came in record time with no indication that she wanted the coyote's footpaw to stop its heavenly work. And as she did so, as Rex saw the pure ecstasy upon her face as she climaxed while staring hungrily, adoringly across their outstretched legs at him, the coyote was glad that they were keeping their promise to Tamara. He was glad that he couldn't reach out and touch Ellie, that he couldn't take her hands into his and feel her fall asleep in his arms tonight.

Because if he had been able to do all of that, they never would have shared this. They never would have had these incredible experiences at the behest of one another's dripping, pleasure-stained feet, and it never would have become a beloved part of their intimate relationship in the weeks to come even after they were released from their promise.

The weeks, and months, and years, and [i]decades[/i], as they spent the rest of their lives together.
