Rising into the sky was a dark, black cloud of smoke that unfurled in the wind. Blade could see it from their house. The cloud was twisting and turning over the eastern side of the city. He watched it curiously and sniffed the air. He couldn't smell anything from here, but he swore he could faintly smell the smoke in the breeze.

Akir opened the door and came out, wondering what Blade was doing. He sidled along beside him and looked where Blade was looking. They weren't the only two looking over in that direction. There were many ferals stopped in their tracks, peering over the houses and buildings. Despite the desert being hotter than any place in the world, fires were extremely rare.

"Oh wow," Akir said. "What do you think caught fire?"

Blade shrugged his feathered wings. "I don't know. It doesn't seem all that big though. Might just be a cart or two. Want to go look?" Akir nodded, so they leapt into the skies and flew to the east.

As they climbed higher into the sky, Blade could make out that the smoke was coming from the housing districts, and it looked like it was on the edge of the eastern-most part of the districts. A sinking feeling gripped his stomach the closer they got.

"A- Akir? That... that isn't..."

Akir looked very concerned too. They couldn't see much of anything beneath the malevolent black smoke as they flew over it, but they recognized the surrounding area all too well. They had found themselves living in this area for some time up until just a month or so ago. And Blade knew of only one wooden building around: Talia's house.

Blade's heart pounded anxiously in his chest as he dropped down and landed heavily. There was a crowd of two-legs around that peered at him uneasily, but Talia wasn't in sight. Akir landed shortly after, but Blade didn't want to wait around.

"Blade!" Akir shouted as Blade tore off toward the fire. Blade ignored him and slipped into the obscuring smog. He had to find Talia. He had to make sure she was alright.

He coughed and felt his eyes stinging as he got closer. The smoldering, burning smell was too pungent for his nostrils, making them burn. Flames flickered within the blackness that surrounded him. They flashed and caught his eye, sending a deep-rooted fear blazing in his mind. He trembled as the heat caressed his feathers threateningly.

Something snapped inside him, as if the fire brought a familiar sense of fear into his fleeting heart. He couldn't understand it, but he felt like he had seen a fire like this before. It was as if there were memories playing through his mind all over again, flickering through his vision just like the flame itself.

He stood outside the burning remains of Talia's home, hypnotized with terror. Thoughts passed his mind in the blink of an eye until he finally snapped back to reality. What could have caused this?

He winced as he listened to the roaring of the fire. Wood snapped and collapsed while the flames ate the house alive. He hoped and hoped that Talia wasn't in there. If she was, he knew she wouldn't survive.

Blade had no idea where the sudden courage came from, but he surged forward. He couldn't lose Talia; he couldn't lose the only other person in the world that truly cared for him aside from Akir. If she was in there, he would save her.

But just before he could get close enough to the burning building, Akir tackled him and pinned him down. "Blade! What the hell are you thinking!?"

Blade growled and tried to push Akir off. The heat was intense, and he could almost feel it scalding his feathers.

"I have to save her!"

Akir growled and firmly shoved Blade down as a loud crack sounded behind them and hunched over him. Blade watched in horror as the force of whatever collapsed sent flames billowing out from the solid doorframe several feet away. Akir fanned out his wings to protect Blade. Blade suddenly felt the heat of the fire leave his face as he watched Akir wince with pain and yelp.

Fear gripped Blade. He froze, his golden eyes lit with the dancing flames behind Akir. He could see them threateningly growing closer. Akir growled and dragged Blade away until they were on the other side of the street. He collapsed beside him, seeming to be trying to catch his breath, but there was too much smoke filling both of their lungs.

Blade still couldn't move. He coughed and wheezed, feeling sick to his stomach. His lungs and throat hurta stinging pain filled his head.

"You stupid idiots!" A familiar voice growled beside him. Blade broke free from his stupor and watched as Talia grabbed Akir's wings and tugged on them as she dragged him away. Blade meeped weakly and crawled after them, but it wasn't long before Talia came back and dragged him away too.

She took them out of the smoke in front of the growing crowd. Blade could almost feel their gazes focused on the two ferals and the two-leg helping them.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid," Talia grumbled under her breath. Blade coughed some more while his head started to clear. His heart fluttered inside his chest rapidly, unable to stop as adrenaline coursed through him. Had he almost died?

He looked at Akir and horror gripped him. Akir's scales along his back were black. What were once deep-blue scales with a mixture of dappled purple blotches were now scorched badly. Blade whimpered and crawled over to him. Akir hissed and growled through clenched teeth.

"What were you two thinking?" Talia growled. "You almost got yourselves killed for no reason!"

"I... I was going to s- save you..." Blade said. He was too focused on Akir to see Talia's furious glare. He wanted to hold Akir tight and never let go, but after just a brief touch Akir hissed and growled with pain.

But he could hear her sigh. "Where do you two live? We need to get him out of here and treat his burns."

Blade stared at Akir with worry. He'd never seen Akir hurt so badly... Akir never got hurt. It was always Blade who got himself into trouble, but this time Blade got Akir into trouble. He felt terrible. His stomach flipped around inside him and twisted itself into a knot as he trembled. Now he knew how Akir had felt, but he felt worse than that. This was his fault.

Blade and Talia helped Akir to his paws, almost carrying his heavy weight until they found a cart. Two-legs stared at them from all around without giving much of a thought to help. Without hesitating, Talia dumped the cart's contents and Blade helped her lift Akir into it. They wheeled it away after hearing a disgruntled wolf growling insults--the owner of that cart. Blade turned and growled back at him with his fangs bared. Intimidation wasn't Blade's forte, but he would do anything for Akir. Nevertheless, the wolf backed off.

It was the longest walk of Blade's life. They took Akir all the way back to their home in the feral district. He had passed out on the way, so they lifted him out and half-dragged him inside. Blade arranged their bedding in the main living area, and with Talia's help they laid him on his belly.

"W- What are we going to do?" Blade asked anxiously, staring at the burns along Akir's back. A sick, twisting feeling gripped his stomach. Akir was in pain.

"I don't know. I need to make a salve to help his scales heal. He's fine for now, and he's at no risk of dying," she assured Blade.

Blade nodded, feeling slightly relieved. "What do you need?"

Talia sighed. "This would be much easier had my house not burned down... I'll need lavender in whatever form you can get it, preferably oil. That's the priority, but I'll also need honey, coconut oil, and the sap of a Godswood tree. You can find all of these at an herb shop in the market district. It's a small building next to a jewelry and linen stall."

Blade nodded again and grabbed his satchel with some money. He had Talia repeat the list back to him before he quickly left and took to the skies.

When he returned, Talia had placed wet rags along Akir's back. He gave her everything she needed, including a mortar and pestle he had also bought. He was proud of himself for thinking ahead on that, as he knew they didn't have anything like that in their home. She regarded him thoughtfully and started mixing the herbs together.

"How did this happen?" she asked as she stirred.

Blade sat down on his haunches. "He protected me from a sudden burst of flames... I... I was being stupid." He gritted his teeth, remembering that this was entirely his fault. He wanted to go save someone who didn't need rescuing. He let his emotions get the better of him again, and Akir got hurt because of it.

"I must have been turned around when you two ran into the smoke. I heard gasps and shouts as two feral dragons ran toward the fire. As soon as I could I ran after you two, but I guess I was too late."

Blade gulped and nodded. "I thought you were still in there..."

She shook her head. "No, I was out shopping when it happened. It was quite the surprise," she hissed.

"How did it happen?"

Talia tensed. "I don't know... I didn't have anything that could cause a fire. I expected that house to collapse on its own before it burned down."

"So it just caught fire?" Blade asked disbelievingly.

Talia pondered for a moment as if questioning herself whether or not to tell Blade something. "I think it was deliberate."

Blade's ears flicked nervously. "Who would do that!?"

She shrugged as if someone burning her home down didn't even matter. "I don't know. It's just a hunch."

"You think someone burned your house down because they wanted to?" Blade couldn't imagine anyone wanting to burn her house down. Talia was very nice... once you got to know her, but she was also a healer. Blade wasn't the only one she had fixed up in the last year: there were plenty of others, mostly two-legs.

"Like I said, it's just a hu--" Akir groaned and wheezed as he woke up. "Hey, hey! Don't move!" She held Akir's neck down, making him wince and growl.

Blade immediately went to see Akir's face, sitting down in front of him as his torso leaned down. He nuzzled Akir's snout lovingly to comfort him, looking into his eyes with concern etched into his face. Akir smiled weakly back and licked Blade's nose.

"How long was I out?" Akir asked. He lay still, deciding that it was his best interest to stay put for now.

"About an hour or so," Talia answered and returned to stirring her remedy together.

"Are you feeling okay?" Blade asked worriedly.

Akir nodded and sighed. "It could be worse."

"I'm... I'm sorry, Akir..." Blade started to tear up again, thinking about the pain Akir was in because of him.

Akir scowled at Blade and elicited a terse growl. "Don't be, Blade."

"B- But you're hurt because of me!" he sobbed and sniffled, wiping his tears. "It's my fault that you were burned..." Akir growled and hissed as he struggled to stand.

"I said NOT to move!" Talia scolded. But Akir didn't listen to her. He winced and grimaced through the pain, stepping forward until he wrapped his torso and wings around Blade. His breath was quick and Blade could feel how hot his scales were against his feathers.

"Akir..." Blade nestled into his embrace as Akir pulled him close. He licked Blade's neck affectionately and purred despite the pain wracking his body.

"It's my job to protect you, Blade. I will gladly put myself in harm's way if it means you will be safe." He squeezed Blade tight and finished, "I am your mate."

Blade whimpered and buried his snout into his blue scales. "I- I don't want you to get hurt because of me!"

"I'm..." Akir breathed heavily with pained hisses. "I'm fine, Blade..." Then his weight suddenly dropped on Blade. Blade meeped and held Akir up as he gently laid him back down. He looked anxiously at Talia who rushed over with a wet rag and placed it on Akir's forehead.

She sighed and shook her head. "Stupid idiot. He overexerted himself. He's got a terrible fever, too."

Blade watched uneasily. He fidgeted around and clawed at the ground while quiet whimpers escaped his lips. "Is he going to be alright?"

Talia nodded and started applying the concoction along Akir's back. It looked gooey and sticky, clinging to his scales. "He just needs to rest right now and not move."

Blade lay down in front of Akir, keeping a close eye on him. Despite Talia's constant reassurance, he felt the opposite. He wanted to hug and squeeze the pain right out of his mate, but he knew that would just make his condition a lot worse!

So, he restlessly watched Akir, even after Talia had retired for the night. She had nowhere else to go, so she would stay with them until she found a new home. It was the least they could do!

* * *

When Akir woke again, Blade and Talia helped him to the bed. He thanked them and fell fast asleep again as he sprawled out on his side. The salve seemed to be helping, though it did smell rather potent.

"When do you think he'll be healed?" Blade asked as he and Talia returned to their living area.

"It should take about a week or two for the pain to subside. He'll be able to walk around more in a couple of days, though it'll be uncomfortable."

Blade nodded, already deciding that he'd be spending every moment with Akir. He lay down on the furs as Talia found a comfortable spot against the wall to rest her back on. Blade offered that she could lie next to him, but she found it more comfortable to sit up against something.

"So... Why do you think someone purposefully burned your house down?"

Talia sighed heavily and closed her eyes. "You know how I've said bad people do bad things for no good reason?" Blade nodded. "Well, there is a group of those bad people that really hate your kind... ferals."

Blade frowned. "They hate us? Well, most of the two-legs already hate us anyway."

She shook her head. "No, I mean really hate you. They think you're just the scum of the Earth with no right to live. The fact that your kind lives in this city just means they want to get rid of you so you don't _taint_the rest of us."

Blade's eyes widened. "Oh... well then. But why would they target you? You're a dragonkin."

"Because I don't discriminate. They must have noticed you two living in my house. Whether or not they knew you moved homes, I don't know, but they probably wanted to stop my business anyway." She sighed again. "I lost so many supplies..."

"We'll help you get them back," Blade offered kindly. "And you can live here as long as you want! We won't mind the company."

Talia's expression softened as she smiled at him. "Thank you, Blade. But I'll try to get out of here as soon as I can. I don't want to intrude any longer than I have to."

"You're not intruding." Blade was more than happy to have Talia's company. Maybe Akir wouldn't be, but having her around made Blade happy, so he didn't think Akir would complain... much.

Talia chuckled and shook her head. "Perhaps not now, but I'm sure you two will want some privacy every now and again."

Blade blushed heatedly and scratched his forearm. He laughed nervously and nodded. "M- Maybe..."

Talia laughed and then yawned, stretching her arms out wide. Blade smiled and stood up, thinking it was about time he joined Akir for the night.

"I'm sorry that we don't have another bed... We'll have to get one for you!"

"That's not necessary, Blade. These furs will be fine," she said and crawled over to where Blade had been lounging.

"Sleep well, Talia," he said and slipped into his and Akir's bedroom. He stepped up carefully onto the bed and curled up with Akir. He was still fast asleep with a peaceful look on his face. That made Blade smile. Blade slowly drifted away, letting the worries of the day fall off of his shoulders.

* * *

Akir was bedridden for the rest of the next day. He wasn't allowed to move--Talia's very specific instructions--so Blade stayed with him for most of the time when he was awake. He had never seen Akir sleep so much before, but he needed it! And he was very happy to help out by giving Akir food and water throughout the day.

Even though he was being pampered, Akir still wanted to complain. "Ugh... I don't want to just lie here all day!" he grumbled. "I need to do something. I'm feeling restless."

Blade chuckled as he lay down with Akir. He scooted up close and carefully embraced him, his paws at his blue-scaled flanks. "You heard Talia!"

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "I know... And it hurts to move... but it's so boring!"

Blade giggled and nuzzled Akir lovingly. "How do you think I felt when my limbs were broken?" he teased. But then he felt terrible for bringing that up. Akir grimaced and shut up immediately, making Blade's guts turn.

"S- Sorry..."

"No, it's fine, Blade," Akir said and smiled kindly. "I shouldn't be complaining... You had it much worse than I do."

Blade shook his head and firmly buried his snout into Akir's neck. "I didn't mean to make it sound like that..."

Akir weakly chuckled and kissed Blade's head between his white horns. "I know, cutie. I love you."

Blade's gold-feathered crest flared out, and he felt his chest warm with joy. "I love you too!"

Akir snuggled with Blade for a moment while he they both purred contentedly. Blade loved being close with his mate. It made him feel relaxed and happy.

"You know, Blade... Talia's not here right now," he cooed with a hint of lust in his voice.

"B- But you're not feeling well enough for us to..."

Akir sighed and nodded. "But I'd still like to do a little something..."

Blade wanted to object and say, "No, you need your rest!" But a thought popped into his head. He smirked at Akir and started to sensually lick his neck.

"I wouldn't mind giving you a little something," Blade said softly as a blush warmed his cheeks. He wasn't used to being the one to initiate sex, and just thinking about it made his feathers feel all warm and tingly.

Akir cooed delightedly to Blade and exposed his neck to his affections. "Oh, Blade... Please do..." Akir huffed and closed his eyes. Blade smiled and traced his tongue down Akir's scales, flicking it across all the sensitive places he could find. He stopped at his chest and then slinked down toward the end of the bed. Akir scooted up and winced as he turned slightly onto his back, resting most of his weight on his side. He lifted his rear leg and spread his hind legs apart.

Blade couldn't help but to stare at Akir's crotch. His eyes were glued to his drooping, dark-blue nethers. Akir's balls sagged below his sheath, and at the tip of his sheath Blade could see his red flesh peeking out, glistening with pre.

"Go on, Blade," Akir cooed and flexed the toes on his hind paws. Blade gulped and felt his heart racing in his chest. He lowered his head and flared his nostrils, taking in Akir's scent. He buried his snout into his mate's nethers, rubbing it along his sheath and package as he sniffed and breathed in heavily through his mouth and nose. He whined and shuddered as his lust bloomed inside his head. He could hardly get enough of Akir's strong, musky odor as he nosed firmly around his thick, swelling sheath.

A hot blush warmed Blade's cheeks as his head was buried between Akir's thighs. He gasped softly and started lapping at Akir's sheath, receiving numerous moans of approval. Blade drew his tongue from the base of Akir's sheath and wrapped his tongue over it a he licked up to the tip, briefly tasting Akir's tangy flesh before continuing to dote his sheath.

"Ooh, Blade..." Blade could feel Akir's length growing and hardening as he watched more of it spill out. He cooed encouragingly to Akir and started to lick and curl his tongue around his balls. He lifted each orb with his tongue, playing with them before he lapped and suckled on Akir's stones. He watched his cock grow until it twitched and spilled drizzles of his pre from its tip, his entirety in Blade's view.

"You're good at that," Akir said softly, smiling down at his mate. Blade smiled back, still blushing heatedly as he started to nose at Akir's twitching flesh. His nostrils flared as he breathed in even more of Akir's scent and rubbed his nose all over it. His aroma was stronger and more intoxicating, sending Blade into a lustful fit as he nuzzled Akir's length up and down.

Akir groaned quietly as Blade's tongue flicked out and tasted his salty flavor that made his tongue tingle. Blade slathered his wet, slimy tongue all over Akir's slick length, coiling and uncoiling it around his shaft. He looked up into Akir's sapphire eyes as seductively as he could while lapping at his cock.

Akir smirked and chuckled at Blade. "Mmm, that's nice, Blade... I never thought you'd want my cock so much!"

Blade blushed and licked up some accumulated pre from Akir's tip, shuddering as his virile flavor clung to his tongue. "I've b- been wanting do this for a while now," Blade admitted and huffed as he licked Akir's tip.

Akir moaned softly and curled his toes. "Well, go ahead, Blade... Anything you want."

Blade returned his attention to Akir's flesh, staring at it with lust as he started to lick and lap at it again. He started to gently massage and caress Akir's soft orbs with a paw, squeezing them to draw more pleasured moans from his mate.

Then Blade parted his maw and carefully went down on Akir's cock. He was afraid that he'd accidentally jab him with one of his teeth, so he took it slow. He shuddered and moaned along with Akir, watching his reactions as his flesh filled his mouth. Akir shut his eyes tight and lay back, his chest rising and falling with his heavy breaths.

"Oh Blade..."

Blade took what he could of Akir's cock, feeling it almost pushing into his throat. His tongue wrapped around it snugly, pulling it into his maw as he started to suckle on it. He could feel it twitching and pulsing as more of Akir's pre drizzled onto the back his tongue. Blade eagerly lapped it up while panting over Akir's flesh.

Blade closed his eyes and relaxed, letting his maw loosen so he could take even more of Akir's thick cock. He was surprised when his nose bumped into his crotch, realizing that he fit his mate's entirety in his mouth. The tip of it pushed past his gag reflex, and that made his mouth convulse and swallow unintentionally which made Akir gasp and moan loudly.

"Gods, Blade.... This feels amazing..."

Feeling encouraged, Blade swallowed some more around Akir's cock, letting his muscles do the work of pleasuring his tip while his tongue swirled around the base of his member. He suckled and slurped on it, tasting the pre that oozed out. Akir moaned constantly, basking in the pleasure Blade was giving him. Blade loved every moment of it, too. He loved Akir's cock and he loved pleasing his mate!

Just knowing that he was giving Akir pleasure was enough to make Blade feel elated. He could almost imagine the bliss his mate was feeling with every stroke of his tongue, every suckle between his lips, and the all of the warmth that Akir's cock was buried in.

Blade started to bob his head slowly, letting Akir's flesh slip out of his mouth before it pushed back into his pursed lips. He tilted his head and repeated the motion, and he heard another moan from Akir. Blade looked up at him, seeing his head laid back and his eyes closed. His lips were moving as he murmured softly and elicited his pleasure. Blade moaned too, vibrating his mouth while he went down on his mate. Blade sucked and slurped, making all sorts of lewd sounds with his mouth around Akir's cock.

Akir slightly squirmed around and worried Blade. Akir wasn't supposed to be moving, but he didn't seem to mind the pain. He was probably feeling too much pleasure to even notice! Blade cast his worries aside and focused on pleasing his mate. He repeatedly bobbed his head in a steady rhythm, taking as much of Akir's cock as he could. Rich, succulent flavor filled Blade's maw. He enjoyed Akir's delicious taste, unable to escape it as his meaty cock filled his mouth.

"Aaah! B- Blade!" Akir's forepaw suddenly gripped the back of Blade's head between his horns and pushed down. Blade took Akir's entirety again, wincing as it pushed into his throat. Then his eyes bulged as he felt that thick shaft thicken and pulse, spewing the first steamy rope of Akir's seed. Blade swallowed hard and gagged as an unrelenting torrent of Akir's thick, virile essence filled his maw and throat, some of it oozing down to his gullet. The fresh flavor was so much stronger, and Blade loved every bit of it.

Blade didn't resist being forced to choke on Akir's cock. He closed his eyes tight and listened to Akir's husky moans. He eagerly drank his mate's seed, letting it fill his maw and throat. Some of it oozed from his lips and soiled Akir's scales around his crotch. Blade could feel every throb of his mate's cock in his mouth until it finally stopped. He suckled on Akir's flesh until Akir finally released him. Akir's length slowly slipped from Blade's maw as he dragged his tongue up the base of his shaft.

Akir shuddered and panted heavily, his head lolled to the side while his tongue stuck out. "Oh, Blade... That felt so good. Thank you..." Blade cooed happily and lapped at Akir's twitching flesh, cleaning his seed from it. Akir shuddered and groaned.

"You must really love my cock," Akir mused, grinning toothily at his mate.

Blade licked his lips clean and nodded. He took one last, long gander at Akir's flesh before scooting up and flopping down beside him. Akir smirked and pressed his lips to Blade's. Blade blushed as they kissed, knowing that Akir would be able to taste himself after Blade's maw had been drenched with his seed. Akir moaned and mingled their tongues together while they exchanged saliva for a brief moment. Then he pulled away and looked into Blade's eyes.

Blade smiled softly at Akir and stroked his flank tenderly. Akir's gaze traced Blade's body down until it stopped at his hard, twitching cock. Blade blushed profusely, having not even realized how aroused he was. His flesh was dripping with pre and twitching needily.

"I wish I could help with that," Akir said, his voice filled with lust.

Blade nuzzled him, bringing Akir's eyes back up to his. "I had my fun!" he said happily, trying to deter Akir from doing anything he shouldn't.

Akir sighed and nodded. "Still... it's very... tempting." Akir's eyes were glued to Blade's ridged cock, staring at it while Blade didn't bother to hide his erection. Blade gulped.

A devious grin spread Akir's lips. "Stand over me, Blade."

Blade meeped and shook his head. "N- No, Akir! We can't..."

"C'mon... I know you want to."

Blade blushed deeply and shook his head. Just the thought of Akir pleasuring him... He shuddered, but Akir was already moving. "N- No! You're going to hurt yourself!"

"Then you better stand over me," Akir retorted.

Blade gasped as a hind paw suddenly rubbed his cock. Akir's toes curled around his flesh and stroked it up and down the shaft. He pulled away and looked at Akir hopelessly. "Talia is going to kill me," he grumbled as he stood up on all fours.

"She doesn't have to know!" Akir grinned and guided Blade's hips over his head. Akir rested the back of his head against the wall, his horns scraping against the stone, while Blade hovered over him. Blade's forepaws rested against the cool stone as he half-stood and leaned against the wall, his groin in Akir's face. He immediately felt Akir's warm tongue around his cock and moaned loudly. He shuddered and pressed his forehead to the wall, resting it there as Akir worked his flesh up and down.

"Th- That feels good, Akir."

It wasn't long before Akir's maw enclosed around Blade's member. He had Blade lightly hump his mouth, and Blade only agreed because it would be easier on him. Blade lost himself in the pleasure, immensely enjoying having Akir's mouth around his cock. He intently watched himself work his length into Akir's maw while listening to the lewd slurping sounds his mate was making.

"I picked up some heavy bandages to wrap around... his... b- back..." Talia said as she walked into their room, lifting the drape aside. She immediately saw Blade who turned and meeped loudly at seeing her. He tried to pull away, but Akir growled and grabbed his rear end, holding him there. Blade yelped and tried to stop, but Akir didn't want to. He bobbed his head gently while Blade looked at Talia with horror. He wasn't sure what all she could see, but hearing it was enough!

"A- Ak- Akir!" Blade stammered, his face flushing with embarrassment. Nothing seemed to faze Akir, and he kept going, determined to get Blade off. Blade stifled his moans and clenched his teeth.

"I told you not to let him move!" she scolded and glanced at the two of them before rolling her eyes and huffing as she stepped out.

Blade gasped and elicited quiet moans as Akir continued to pleasure him, unrelenting. His nervousness tried to hold him back, but he couldn't help but feel his arousal rising rapidly. Having Talia right outside their room, most likely hearing every slurp, moan, and breath they made, was embarrassing to say the least! But he quickly lost focus from his worries as Akir brought him to an orgasm.

Blade's legs trembled, and he nearly lost his balance. Pleasure burst through him like fire, warming his shaking body as his cock throbbed and spilled ropes of his seed into Akir's eagerly awaiting maw.

"A- Akir..." Blade sucked in a breath, trying not to cry out his bliss as Akir sucked him off through his orgasm. As his pleasure died down, he finally was able to catch his breath, but Akir still wouldn't release his cock. A tongue kept his sensitive cock twitching and jumping until Blade finally pulled out himself. He panted and glared at Akir.

"Why didn't you stop?" he hissed softly, not pleased that Talia had caught them during an intimate moment. He kept his voice down, hoping Talia couldn't hear them, if she was still in their house.

Akir smirked and groaned as he rolled onto his side. The ointment on his back looked like it had smeared on the bed, its gross smell now tainting the furred sheets. He looked rather pleased with himself as he licked his lips clean.

"Because I didn't want to. It's not like that's Talia's first sexual encounter anyway."

Blade sighed. His cheeks were still flushed with warmth, and he couldn't tell if it was from the pleasure or from the embarrassment. If he had to look Talia in the eyes again, he wasn't sure if he could do it.

"Y- You should have stopped... Now she's going to be angry that you didn't listen to her."

Akir shrugged and buried his snout into the bed, resting his head. "Not my problem," he teased. "Besides, she's living in our house now. We get to make the rules!"

Blade shook his head. "She lost her house, Akir... She doesn't have much choice right now."

"Neither did we."

"You're missing the point!" Blade huffed. He lay down on his belly and sighed.

Akir cooed reassuringly to him. "I'm sorry I upset you, Blade... I just wanted to return what you gave me."

Blade nodded and nuzzled Akir affectionately. "I know... I really enjoyed it," Blade admitted with a toothy smile. "But you should rest now. We can get those bandages on later."

Akir dipped his head and rolled onto his side with his arms stretched open. "Lie with me, Blade."

Blade didn't quite feel like napping; he wanted to go talk to Talia and reassure her that they didn't do anything strenuous for Akir. But he lay with his mate anyway, letting his body curl around him as his back was pressed to Akir's warm belly. He'd rather be comfortable with Akir than extremely uncomfortable with Talia while he tried to explain what they were doing!

Blade tucked his wings closely to his body and purred as Akir affectionately cuddled with him, wrapping an arm around Blade's stomach while the other scratched and stroked the feathers along his head. He pulled Blade close and nuzzled his neck lovingly.

Blade melted with bliss, purring as his mate gently caressed him. It was a pleasure he had never felt before, and it was all his for the taking. He enjoyed every heavenly second while Akir lovingly petted him until his strokes became slower as Akir drifted into slumber.

Soft snores rumbled in Akir's throat as he fell asleep. Blade took a deep, steady breath and felt himself starting to slip into slumber too. To his surprise, he instantly felt exhausted. He let his mind wander to warm thoughts of Akir until he was dreaming.
