Part 21: ~Animal Instincts~



Over the next few weeks they had both become a lot closer, kisses were shared hugs given freely. They were hardly from each other. It was drawing close to Kalens cycle. He was unsure of what to do, feeling on edge. He knew he must leave if Zechs didn't want to bond with him that month. As they were now, Zechs was considered Kalens mate but not by bonding and Kalen didn't want to force anything onto his loving human. Two weeks before, they had discussed it. Kalen was surprised that Zechs wanted to bond with him so soon, the moment of realization making his heart flutter, joy spreading through him. He would finally have a mate.
     That day Kalen had phoned his brother, it wasn't long after Kisei had himself bonded with a human, he wanted to know what would happen, to be prepared, to do it right. His brother told him also helping by sending things he would need. Kisei had told him what to do and what it had felt like in some small detail and Kalen had thanked him. Even though Kisei was still slightly insane he loved his brother and was happy that his nissan had found someone to mate with. It also gave him the momentum to tease him for bonding later than he had. Kalen prepared for the ritual wanting everything to be perfect, he was so afraid that it was all just a lie, something to hurt him, but he knew inside Zechs wouldn't hurt him. Keeping the details a secret, he smiled around Zechs, he wanted to surprise the human, nothing was more sacred and loving than the bonding, he was looking forward to it.
       That fateful night approached, Kalens hunger to mate rising with the moon. Zechs had been delayed at school finding out about his new collage, preparing for them to move to America where the college was; he had been excited. He would finally get to see America.
      Zechs couldn't help but kick himself, for getting home school so late, he had gotten sidetracked with the lectures on the colleges some kids were going to, and saying his good-byes to the few friends he had made. He had wanted to catch Kalen before the moon rose. He was scared Kalen would have left, as Kalen had never confirmed that tonight they would join, he tingled with anticipation as he entered the apartment noting the lights were off but a soft glow was emanating from their room along the corridor. Slipping his shoes and coat off after placing his bag down he silently moved along the dark corridor towards the light.

Zechs cracked open the door quietly, peering around it before stepping in. He gasped in surprise. All around him candles were lit, softly glowing, lighting up the room, but keeping most bathed in shadows. Flower petals awashed the room, there sweet aroma filling him. Shutting the door behind him he turned, gaze widening. Knelt on the soft, plush carpet of the floor was Kalen, eyes closed, hair falling around him as his tail softly wagged against his thigh. Opening his eyes slowly Kalen became aware of Zechs, his heart speeding up slightly. Kalen had organized everything precisely, following his brothers' advice. Kisei had sent him clothing that he should wear. It felt right for the ritual, but Zechs being human it didn't matter that the ceremony wasn't exact. As soon as Kalen had sensed Zechs he felt the others heart rate go up, Kalen looked hungrily at his soon to be mate. /mine/ he growled softly before motioning Zechs to join him on the floor. Kneeling down in front of Kalen, Zechs motioned to talk, a clawed finger rested on his lips. "There's no need for talk koi". Zechs smiled closing his eyes before opening them and staring at Kalen.
      Kalens right hand grasped something hidden in the shadows. Pulling out a gold, jeweled cup he placed it in front of him, opening a bottle of something sweet smelling, a type of liquid oil he poured it into the goblet, filling the room with its smell. Kalen inhaled groaning at the scent, Zechs watched enthralled, wondering what was going to happen. He had just turned 16 and was excited, his hormones racing, his scent mixing with the roses and the sweet oil. Opening another bottle he poured some into the goblet, mixing it with the other liquid. He took a sip chanting his eyes closing as he was enveloped in the euphoric taste. Once settled he passed the cup to Zechs watching as he drained it, smiling softly Kalen continued chanting under his breath.
       Zechs passed the goblet back smiling warmly as the taste of the concoction made its way though his body. Once again Kalen filled the goblet with the thick liquid and slipped a finger into the cup, pulling Zechs's left had from where it rested he gently rubbed the oil into the palm. Kneeling back he turned, a hand slipping behind him, from a sheath he pulled out an ornate dagger, small but sharp. Taking it in his left hand he slashed the palm of his own right hand quickly, wincing slightly. "Kal..." Zechs gasped as his own hand was taken the blade swiped quickly along it but he felt no pain. As blood began to pool in his palm, Kalens own hand grasped his, leaning his head on Zechs's own, closing his eyes as they became one. Bloody hands clasped, blood mixed as there minds opened to each other, revealing memories, their thoughts and dreams and the love they shared. It swirled around them like a thick blanket. They became one as tears dripped silently down Zechs's face from seeing what Kalen had been through. Pulling back after only peace filled his mind he unclasped his hand, looking at the palm it was now closed as if nothing had ever happened, confused he wiped tears away ready to ask Kalen questions. As he looked up Zechs realized that Kalen was still in the same position, moving fingers across a cheek he got no response. Leaning up he pressed a kiss to his loves' lips, still nothing; worried he tried shaking the still form. Kalens eyes remained glazed over. "Kalen?" Zechs whispered worriedly, kneeling up against Kalen raised from the ground. He looked startled as a hand reached out and pushed him over, Zechs fell onto his back, as he watched the glaze leave Kalens eyes.
        Burning amber eyes fell on him, as ears twitched profusely. Kalen stared straight at him, dazed Zechs didn't move. Inhaling the air sharply Kalens gaze focused back on the boy sprawled before him. "Mine". He growled out before he raised on his knees, gaze burning into Zechs as he growled, a predatory gleam in his eyes, all the while stalking towards his mate on his hands and knees, a predator stalking its prey.

/My mate. My love. Mine. Mine./

He growled again stalking his shivering mate, ears twitching furiously, nose smelling for any threat. "MINE" he growled out, baring his fangs. His animal instincts took over, the need to mate strong but to protect stronger.

/My Mate. Mine./

He growled again as he reached his lover, leaning forwards hands sifted into black hair, a nose close, sniffing him, his grip tight but not painful. Pulling on Zechs's shirt he shredded it, careful of the skin beneath. "Ka...Kalen?" Zechs whimpered out, never really seeing this side of his love before. A head was brushed against him, purring, coming from the strong form. A heated gaze raised to his own.

"Mine?" came a half whispered half growled question.

It was no longer filled with possession or dominant in tone but was vulnerable, afraid. Scared of rejection. Zechs sighed, reaching a hand up to stroke the still twitching ears. "Yours" he whispered smiling, baring his neck for his lover. Kalen lurched forwards and Zechs prepared himself for the hard bite, only to be greeted with the sweep of a tongue bathing at the pulse, stopping as the kitsune looked up, glancing around his new formed lair for any challengers of his mate. He growled loudly unable to stop himself, it was all part of the bonding for him his need to protect strong.

/My Mate. My friend. My love. Mine. Mine. Protect. Want. Need. Mine/

Kalens thoughts jumbled around inside his mind as his growl became louder.
A warm hand reached up and softly caressed his jaw and cheek, pulling his attention back to Zechs whom was smiling up at him. "Shhh. No one else is here. I'm yours. Yours alone." The beloved voice soothed and calmed him. It stirred him to action.

"Mine". It was aggressive and patient, loving and protective.

"Yours" Zechs whispered a hand stroking at the less animated ears now lying flat against Kalens head in warning.

Kalen growled out again, leaning forwards his teeth gently scraped Zechs's neck, nibbling at the skin. Hands were grasping at Zechs's belt before it was slashed open impatiently; jeans pulled off and thrown away, underwear slashed cautious of the treasure inside. Lifting his gaze from the shedded clothing he gazed into Zechs's eyes, leaning forwards before brushing his lips against Zechs's. The need to just take him was strong, overpowering but Kalen kept his grip on things not wanting to hurt his love. He felt Zechs's hands reach up and run gently across the silk of his clothing, he growled wanting to feel the touch and quickly pulled the material off, ripping it, not caring. Growling turned to purrs as his mates hands touched his naked skin, the trails of his fingers making his skin burn in desire, want and need pulsing through him. Capturing Zechs's lips again he deepened the kiss crushing his lips demandingly to Zechs, his opening... allowing a tongue in, whimpering as it relentlessly plundered his mouth.

/Sweet. Hot. Love. Need. Mine./

Kalen growled at his mates taste, dueling his tongue with Zechs's, stroking it irresistibly, purring loudly as the hands caressing him pulled him closer. Feeling the need to breathe Kalen pulled back from the kiss, a whimpered sob leaving Zechs's mouth as he arched his neck taunt to recapture the sweet invading lips. Sucking on the tongue Kalen swept it over Zechs's before breaking off the kiss, but this time trailed hot wet kisses down Zechs's throat, nibbling and gently biting at the silky skin, leaving a trail of wet nips and kisses. Zechs purred, Kalens ears twitching gently at the throaty sound, Kalen licked down his bare chest, sucking at the nipples he found, loving the new found taste. His hands were always caressing as Zechs whimpered clutching him closer, thrashing under the touches, his whimpers making Kalen growl possessively.

/Mine. Want you. Need you. Love you./

Kalen gently pushed Zechs to the floor, his mouth never leaving the skin as he spread open Zechs's legs, holding the knees open and settling in-between them. He swept his tongue down his mates' body. With a soft purr of pleasure he ran his tongue from the base of Zechs's erection up to the glistening tip, lovingly tracing his tongue in a swirl around the swollen head. Taste exploded in his mouth as Zechs writhed underneath him, panting. Kalens eyes closed as he licked along the tip, tasting the precum growling contentedly, happy to be pleasing his moaning lover. He swept his tail around gently moving it against the hard erection, soft warm fur caressing the shaft as Kalen licked and gently nibbled at the tip, pleased at the juices Zechs was making for him, his own erection throbbed as he heard Zechs's cries of passion.

/Mine. All Mine. My mate/.

Letting go of one leg he gently slid his hand up Zechs's body, grasping at his nipples and pinching gently as he wrapped his lips around the throbbing shaft of his mate. Slowly, he began to bob up and down, creating a deep suction as he built the rhythm. He licked with his tongue along the underside on each stroke and squeezed his lips in tight. The hand on Zechs's knees kept the thighs from closing as Zechs cried out and writhed beneath him. Kalen smelt the air, listening, knowing Zechs would soon come, he doubled his efforts purring as Zechs cried out. "Kallleeeeeen".
Zechs groaned arching hips sharply as he came, his seed was swallowed and lapped at by Kalen the hand now stroking him, soothing him as he came. Lifting his head Kalen watched Zechs's face, his eyes closed as he came down from his high, opening his eyes he smiled lazily, opening his arms as Kalen lent into him, softly kissing him. Kalen groaned thrusting his hips up, his erection grinding into Zechs's stomach as he growled softly into the kiss.

/Want you. Need you. Love you./

Kalen deepened the kiss, making it more aggressive, demanding. Zechs returned the kiss, matching his passion and desire with his own. Hands explored each other, gently caressing, moving faster, rubbing and grazing nipples and heated arousals. Zechs whimpered into the harsh kiss, fingers gripping tightly into Kalens hair. "Kalen please" Zechs whispered panting, "Want you...need you now". Parting quickly Kalen grabbed the small vile of oil, emptying some onto his fingers, coating them. First he grazed the substance over a hardened nipple, massaging it as Zechs opened his legs his whimpers more frantic. "Please Kalen...I'm yours take me, need...please..." he groaned when he felt the finger move, sliding down his body, dipping in to tease his navel before continuing, brushing against his entrance. "Kalen" came the cried whimper, "MINE" Kalen growled lunging down latching his teeth onto Zechs's neck. Marking, claiming, possessing. Liquid fire shot through his body as the teeth grasped tighter.

/Mine. My mate. My friend. My love. Mine. Mine. Mine/.

"Mine" Kalen growled loudly, nipping at the neck.

Zechs moaned and writhed in submissive pleasure under Kalens heavy, muscled weight. Arms and legs were wrapped gently around him, rubbing and thrilling his hot skin.
"Yours... Yours alone... oh Kalen...take me." Zechs begged arching up into the kitsune, his need for Kalen running away with him, as Kalens need to claim him roared through his veins.

The kitsune broke off the bite and gently ran his tongue over the abused flesh, a silent apology for an uncontrollable reaction. Pulling his weight off of his lover, and rocking back to rest on his knees, he once again coated his fingers in the sweet scented oil from the vile. Gently he pressed a finger against Zechs's opening purring in delight when his finger slipped in, thrusting gently, soon a second was added. Kalen gently twisted his fingers to stretch his mates opening, although he was a virgin himself he knew what to do, his animal need coming through, rising up through his body making him growl again as Zechs slowly started to thrust onto the invading digits. Zechs whimpered writhing underneath the kitsune, grasping his lovers' erection stroking him quickly. Kalen hissed unlatching the hand before entering a third finger, stretching his mate wider. Zechs's eyes burst wide open as something inside him was brushed, he hissed, bucking up as it was brushed again. He cried out bucking back hard onto the caress as the spot was rubbed again, his erection hard and leaking as Kalen pleasured him. "Kalen...take me now please!" he begged as he thrust himself hard onto the digits, whimpering at the loss when they were removed and he was turned over onto his hands and knees, Kalen resting behind him.

/My mate. Mine. Need. Want. Mate. Now! /

His mind screamed at him as Kalen coated his erection with the oil, purring at the feel, his ears twitched and he gently pushed into his mate.

/Mine. Mine. Mine./

Kalen held still, the task proving difficult as he waited for Zechs to get use to him. He could smell his mates' arousal and heard his thundering heartbeat. His erection throbbed as he purred, caressing the back and shoulders of his mate, content to let him rest for a moment. Zechs murmured loudly shifting his hips to rock back onto the hardness deep within him. Kalen groaned, purring loudly at the sensation, he tried to go slow, to be gentle but lost control as Zechs thrust back onto his hardness clawing at the carpet as he knelt whimpering submissively before him.
       Growling, Kalen grasped his hips firmly, pulling out almost completely before thrusting in hard. Zechs's body was pushed forwards and was then pulled tightly against Kalen as he thrust back in. Zechs cried out in pleasure at the rough thrusts. Kalen pushed in harder, faster, claiming his mate, kissing and licking his back, nipping at the neck.

Yanking Zechs's head back by the hair he growled, pulling the body onto his perched knees so Zechs was straddling him, he growled moving faster, all human senses leaving him as he pushed into Zechs. The thrusts were not painful to Zechs, he groaned in pleasure resting his head on a shoulder as hands wrapped around him from behind. Fingers pinched at his nipples whilst one hand trailed down, a thumb sweeping across his erection quickly. "Kaleeeen" Zechs moaned thrusting himself onto his lover.
"Mine" Kalen growled, his hand cupping Zechs's balls, stroking but not doing enough to relieve Zechs's tension, he whimpered holding onto the hard arms. "Yours, only yours... forever" Zechs cried, Kalens thrusts hitting his prostate, sending waves of pure pleasure through him. "Forever" Kalen growled. His hand coming round again to pump Zechs's hardness quickly in time with his faster thrusts. "Kalllllennnnnnnn" Zechs cried out as he came, his body arching back into the body behind him. The hand pumping quickly never ceasing as Kalen growled. His free hand pulled Zechs's hair out of his way as his teeth latched onto an arched neck, sinking in, claiming, fangs drawing blood as he came with a growl. "Mine". Kalen whispered gently, a tongue lathering at the bite wound, a hand lazily reaching out grasped the bottle of oil and placed some on Zechs's wound. He let the concoction heal him before wiping the oil off, the wound healed but the marks faintly remaining, his scent lingering on the body.

/Mine. My Mate. Mine./ Kalen thought stroking Zechs softly, brushing the wet hair from his face, purring in content. Lifting his mate off of him and into his arms, Kalen carried him to the bed, slipping in next to him. The bond strong between them, the claim satisfying his need, calming him. Lying on his back Zechs soon scrambled sleepily over to his warm body, lying his head down on a warm shoulder, an arm flung across Kalens waist pulling him closer snuggling into the body of his mate. Kalen purred softly, his tail flicking next to him to caress Zechs's legs.

"Ai shiteru Zechs" Kalen purred wrapping his arms tighter around his mate his tongue licking out to caress his nose in tenderness. "Ai shiteru Kalen" Zechs sighed sleepily, closing his eyes he heard a whispered "mine". He smiled /always yours Kalen/ he thought as they both fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kalen was brought out of his memories from an arm brushing against his. He shifted realizing he had an erection from thinking about the claiming, blushing slightly when he realized that he'd been rubbing it against his mates' rear. The male in question was smiling back at him, a lusty grin crossing his features. "I prefer waking up like this than to an alarm clock" he grinned, turning around and kissing Kalen. "Thinking about me ne Kalen?" Zechs teased. "Always" Kalen replied hugging his mate to him, purring into the kiss that followed.
