A pair of oversized ears perked up as the front door to the apartment closed. A large brown bat leaned forward against his computer desk, a pile of textbooks scattered over the surface. A book was open in front of him, his eyes intently studying the pages again and again. He tapped his fingers rhythmically over the smooth wood, seemingly oblivious to the approaching footsteps behind him. A grey and brown coyote tiptoed up to the bat, hoping he could catch the male by surprise.

"Hey, Tannis," the bat said nonchalantly.

The coyote stopped and groaned loudly. "Damn it, you're impossible to sneak up on!"

The bat casually lifted a paw to tap one of his large ears, still focused on his reading material. He seemed absorbed in the passages he was reading. Curious, the coyote edged closer and peeked over his shoulder to see what the bat was caught up in. His eyes scanned the title of the book, though what he read and what came out of his mouth were entirely different.

"Hypnosis for Dummies."

The bat rolled his eyes and reached over his shoulder, pushing the canine's muzzle away. "Knock it off, Tannis."

"Oh, come on, Markus. You know I'm just teasing you. How long have you been studying those hypnosis books, anyway?"

The bat shrugged lightly. "A couple weeks, I'd say. I don't know if I've made any progress yet."

"Well, you'll never know unless you work at it," the coyote offered. "Maybe you could hypnotize me!"

Markus turned in his chair, cocking an eyebrow at the grey and brown canine. Tannis was gazing back at him, wearing his usual vest and black cargo shorts. "I don't think I'm ready for that, yet. I mean, I haven't had much practice at all."

Tannis moved closer. "Well, the only way to get better is to actually do it."

The bat sighed heavily, one of his large ears flicking in mild annoyance. He didn't feel at all comfortable with the idea of using his roommate as practice. He didn't respond just yet, though. The coyote watched him with interest, his bushy tail wagging slowly. Tannis leaned down to speak softly into one of the bat's ears.

"What's the harm in trying, hmm? At the very least, nothing will happen and you can try again later."

The bat grinned. "Or I could fuck it up, and leave you as a mindless zombie for the rest of your life, forced to do my bidding."

"Oh, ha-hah," the coyote huffed, sticking his tongue out at the bat. "Seriously, Markus. Give it a shot. I bet you'll have no problem doing it."

Sighing deeply again, Markus rolled his eyes. Clearly the coyote wasn't going to give in easily. He shrugged, shaking his head in defeat. "Fine, fine. I'll do it. But it's your fault if anything funny happens."

Tannis grinned, standing upright once more. "Deal. What do I need to do?"

The bat pondered silently for a moment, debating whether to attempt it in the living room, or his bedroom. Given that he would need some sort of calming background noise, the bedroom was the simplest choice. He gestured to his bed as he turned in his chair.

"Go lay down on my bed. I just need to look over a few things real quick and find some fitting music."

Tannis tipped his head to one side. "Why music?"

"It drowns out distractions," the bat replied. "And it will help both of us relax."

The coyote chuckled as he stepped toward the bed. "Shouldn't I be the only one needing to worry about relaxing?"

Markus offered a little smile. "I'm just a little nervous about this, is all. I mean, you're the first person that I'm actually going to attempt this with."

Tannis casually propped himself up against the wall as he hopped onto the bat's bed, stuffing a pillow behind his back. His ears perked as he heard his roommate muttering something to himself, flipping through the pages of his book. The soft click of a mouse accompanied the occasional page flip as the bat browsed through his music library. A soft melody began to float through the bedroom when Markus found something fitting, adjusting the volume so it was quiet, but audible enough to play over the noise outside of their apartment.

The bat gazed toward his bed where the coyote was sprawled out, still having doubts. He had agreed, though, so he wasn't going to back down now. He closed his book and slipped out of the chair to make his way over to the bed. He sat down next to Tannis, letting his bare feet rest on the floor. The necessary steps were reviewed several times in his head, keeping them fresh in his memory.

"All righty, close your eyes for me, take a deep breath and let it out slowly," Markus instructed.

Tannis did as he was told, his ears flicking lightly as he listened to the soft music streaming from the bat's computer speakers. The coyote's eyes flicked open when the bat's fingers came to rest on his cheeks. He was gently drawn forward, finding himself face-to-face with the bat. The bat gazed into his eyes without blinking for several seconds as he went over the process one more time in his mind. When he finally opened his mouth to speak, his voice was gentle and hushed.

"Look into my eyes," he started. "Focus on the center of my pupils, and nowhere else. The only sound you hear is my voice."

The coyote could see his reflection in the bat's large pupils. His tail flicked idly against the bed as he maintained his focus, blinking only when it was absolutely necessary.

"Continue to gaze into my eyes, and relax," Markus said quietly. "Relax as you breathe in, and out. Let your breathing become natural and steady."

The coyote's pupils began to dilate as he continued to gaze into Markus's eyes. This meant that he was at least on the right track.

"Feel your body relaxing with each breath you take; your shoulders, arms, and legs. Let your breathing slow down as you relax, your breaths becoming deeper."

Tannis could feel his body growing heavy as the bat continued to talk. His words were like magic; he felt compelled each time Markus spoke. When the bat told him to take a deep breath, the motion was practically automatic. Markus resisted the urge to remove his fingers from the coyote's face, suspecting that it would break the coyote's concentration.

"Now take a deep breath, and as you slowly let it out, close your eyes. Feel your body relaxing. Focus on your shoulders, feel the muscle becoming loose."

The bat continued, instructing Tannis to focus on various parts of his body and relax. The coyote's breathing was slow, as if he were on the verge of falling asleep. The bat noticed a slight flutter from the coyote's eyelids, a sign that the technique was working.

"Good, now continue to focus on your limbs. Feel them relaxing further as you continue to listen to my voice."

Markus gazed down over the coyote's body, pausing at his paws. The canine's fingers twitched now and then, a subtle motion that the bat nearly missed. The bushy canine tail was draped across the bed, the tip occasionally flicking in a manner similar to the coyote's fingers. He instructed the coyote to relax again, reinforcing the method. He continued to do this periodically until he was satisfied that it would be safe to remove his hands from the canine's cheeks. Taking a deep breath of his own, he slowly eased his fingers away from Tannis's face. The coyote's head settled back against the pillow that propped him up when Markus released him.

There was a moment of silence as the music ended. Now would be the perfect opportunity to see if the coyote was truly in a trance. Markus leaned in close, speaking quietly into the coyote's ear.

"Continue to listen to my voice, Tannis. Continue to relax, and slowly focus on your arms. Feel them lifting ahead of you, light as a feather."

There was a moment of hesitation, but the coyote's arms slowly drifted up. The canine's fingers brushed over Markus's front side as the bat observed, grinning softly. He was surprised that he had managed to do it, but at the same time he felt immensely proud of himself. He had been curious about hypnotism for years, especially as a method of coaxing friends into doing things they might normally be hesitant to do.

"Now let your arms relax and slowly lower them," Markus said softly. On cue, Tannis's arms returned to his sides, paws resting on the bed. The bat's smile spread to a satisfied grin. He wasn't finished yet, though. He wanted to see just how far he could make Tannis go without breaking the trance.

The bat leaned forward until his muzzle was only a few inches from the coyote's ear. It flicked lightly when he began to speak into it, his voice hushed again. "Take a deep breath, then slowly release it as you open your eyes." His voice lowered to a barely-audible whisper as he moved closer, almost touching Tannis's ear with his lips. "I want you to go down on me."

Markus leaned back slowly when he finished the thought. He could see a blush slowly creep over the coyote's muzzle as his eyes fluttered open. The canine's pupils were large black circles now, covering the majority of his eyes. Tannis's gaze seemed to pass right through the bat's body. He blinked slowly, then eased himself away from the pillow and leaned forward. His movement was slow and methodical as he placed his paws forward on the bed, pulling his legs back until he was kneeling.

The bat was almost holding his breath as he made eye contact with Tannis. He noticed the slightest smirk pull back the corners of the coyote's lips before Tannis's head slowly dipped down. The canine's fingers brushed over the comforter as Markus carefully pulled his legs up so that he was kneeling on the bed. He was supposed to continue instructing the entranced coyote, but he became lost in the moment. Was Tannis actually going to do it?

As if the bat had asked the question aloud, a pair of paws slowly brushed over Markus's thighs. The gentle caress sent a shiver of pleasure of the bat's spine, a quiet groan passing over his lips. They moved slowly back and forth, gradually working their way up the inside of the bat's thighs until they reached the front of his pants. There was a momentary pause, as if the coyote was waiting for permission to continue. The hesitation reminded Markus of what he should've been doing.

"Feel the heat of my body against your fingers," he finally said, the coyote's digits resting teasingly close to a growing bulge in Markus's pants. "Focus on that warmth, and let yourself discover the source."

Life returned to Tannis's fingers as the bat finished his suggestive thought. They softly kneaded the crevice between the bat's thighs and torso, moving together until they met directly over the bat's groin. By now, the bat's pants were straining to contain a growing erection. Tannis eased a paw away from the bulge while the other pushed against it, feeling the swelling flesh contained within. The rubbing was meticulous, teasing the bat.

"Let out the warmth," Markus said in a hoarse whisper, fighting back a soft groan of pleasure. The coyote's head dipped in a slight nod, his fingers tracing over the button at the top of Markus's pants. It snapped open with a deft motion, the canine's fingers pinching his zipper afterward to tug it down. A pair of conforming black boxers barely contained the bat's member when his pants fell open. A crimson tip was poking up beneath the waistband, pulsing gently in sync with the bat's increasing heartbeat.

"Peel back the obstacle, and embrace the warmth of my body in your hand," Markus said gently. "Let it radiate into your palms."

The coyote's paw dipped down into the bat's underwear, his fingers tracing lightly over the throbbing red flesh. Tannis's fingertips curled gently as they brushed past the musky sac below. He cradled Markus's balls, his other paw gently tugging down the front of the bat's boxers to expose his firm erection. The waistband was carefully tucked under Markus's sac, ensuring that it would be kept out of the way.

"Enjoy the warm pulse against your fingers," Markus urged. "Work your paws over it as your body stretches out before me."

The bat treated the situation as if he were guiding the coyote through his first session of oral sex, using metaphor where possible. He closed his eyes, letting out a soft groan when Tannis's fingers wrapped gently around his shaft and began to stroke back and forth. His hips pushed forward, aiding the slow rhythm.

"That's it. Work the heat through your fingers. Feel it spreading up to your palm and into your body."

When Markus opened his eyes once more, he realized that his roommate was now stretched out on the bed before him. The coyote's legs were bent at the knees, his shins propped up against the wall. Tannis's muzzle lowered as he let his chest down, resting his cheek on the bat's thigh. A dreamy look was glued to his face as his fingers slowly stroked the bat's member, his other paw occasionally caressing Markus's balls.

"Now bring that heat to your lips," the bat crooned. "Draw that object of warmth into your muzzle and let the heat..." He trailed off for a moment when the coyote's fingers squeezed the base of his length, making him shiver. "...mmmh. Let the heat radiate into you."

The words seemed to come naturally, as if Markus had been practicing this for months. That barely-noticeable smile returned to the coyote's lips as he adjusted himself, lifting his head from his roommate's thigh. He gently tipped the bat's member toward himself, his thumb and forefinger looped around the base just above the retracted sheath. Tannis's tongue flicked out to slowly circle the tip of the throbbing shaft, making his roommate shiver and fidget on the bed. The slow, sensual motions felt incredible to Markus. The fact that it was his roommate performing the act added a spark of guilty pleasure that made it that much more enjoyable.

The coyote's muzzle lowered, gently drawing more of Markus's shaft between his lips. He sighed contently, his soft tongue curling beneath the length as it pulsed. He eased himself down until his muzzle slurped gently around the base of the bat's member. A paw rose up to rest lightly on the back of Tannis's head as the bat pushed his hips up, ensuring that every inch of his length was resting in the coyote's maw.

Markus was too distracted by pleasure at this point to remind himself that he was still supposed to be guiding the coyote. His fingers lightly kneaded over the back of Tannis's head, encouraging the coyote to continue. The warm muzzle slowly rose from the bat's length, drawing back with a quiet slurp. A spurt of clear pre landed on the flat canine tongue when the tip brushed over it, accompanied by a shaky groan of pleasure.

The urge to thrust himself back into the male's lips was strong, but Markus resisted the urge for now. He allowed Tannis to work over his pulsing shaft at his own pace, muffling another groan when the coyote's muzzle slowly lowered once more. The canine moved at a gradual pace, his head bobbing in a slow but steady rhythm. His tongue cradled the dripping flesh as it passed over, the tip occasionally curling to flick around the end of the bat's member.

Even though the coyote was taking it easy, Markus wasn't sure he'd be able to hold out long. The thought of being sucked off by his hypnotized roommate was exciting. His hips began to push forward lightly each time Tannis's lips slid down his shaft, the tip of his length lightly poking the back of the coyote's throat when he was fully nestled in his friend's muzzle. A continuous dribble of pre leaked from his shaft, coating the inside of the canine's muzzle with its musk.

A soft, encouraging growl passed over the coyote's lips as he began to work over the pulsing flesh faster. Soft slurps accompanied the motions as he suckled harder, a paw lightly rolling and fondling the bat's sac. Markus could feel the pressure building as the canine continued, panting softly between quiet gasps. He knew his peak was imminent, though he wanted to hold back as long as he could manage.

"Almost there," Markus groaned, though he wondered if the subdued canine would fully process his warning.

Tannis seemed to understand well enough, suckling harder on the bat's shaft and giving his sac a soft squeeze. His head bobbed up and down the length faster, forcing the bat to give in to the pleasure. He hunched forward over the coyote with a grunt, his length throbbing as a wave of pleasure washed over him. A burst of seed spilled onto the flat tongue, the warmth grabbing Tannis's attention. He purred quietly around his mouthful, eyes closed as he gulped softly. The bat's hips gently bobbed back and forth, grinding himself against his roommate's lips to milk out the warm load.

The coyote continued to softly nurse at the leaking tip, drawing his muzzle back slowly. The bat's bursts of creamy spunk quickly reduced to a dribble as Tannis swallowed what the bat had to offer. Markus gently caressed the back of his roommate's head, pulling his hips back when the coyote's tongue flicked over the sensitive head. His length slipped free with a soft pop, accompanied by a light shiver as cool air greeted the bat's member.

Markus took a few deep breaths to clear his mind, his heart still beating quickly. The coyote was idly tracing his fingers over the bat's length now, making it difficult for him to focus. It was time to bring his roommate out of his trance, assuming he actually was in one. He took another deep breath, his fingers shifting from the back of Tannis's head to rest on his cheek. The coyote seemed to rise up automatically when Markus lifted his cheek, pulling himself into a kneeling position.

"Close your eyes for me, Tannis. Take another deep breath and relax. I'm going to count backwards from five. As I'm counting down, slowly let your breath out. When I get to one, you'll awaken."

The coyote's eyes closed once more, his chest swelling as a deep breath filled his lungs. He held it for a moment as Markus leaned closer.

"Slowly breathe out. You'll awaken in five, four, three, two, one." The bat's voice became progressively firmer with each number, ending his countdown with a snap of his fingers that made Tannis jump.

The coyote's eyes opened with a flutter, blinking several times. The taste of semen was still heavy on his breath, and he could remember everything that had taken place. It felt as if he'd been dreaming, though. Everything about the experience seemed so surreal. He glanced down briefly, a heavy blush creeping over his face when he noticed the bat's semi-erect length, still hanging over his open pants. That eyeful removed all doubt.

Tannis gulped gently, licking over the inside of his muzzle to flick away any remaining traces of the bat's musky seed before he spoke. "So, is that what being hypnotized is like, then?"

The bat nodded. "It would seem so. I'm surprised I actually managed to get it on the first attempt."

"It didn't feel like I was hypnotized, though. I expected to fall asleep or something."

Markus chuckled. "That's a common misconception. You can thank Hollywood for that."

"I don't know, Markus. I don't think you actually hypnotized me."

The bat chuckled, reaching down to tuck himself back into his boxers and zip his pants up. "I got you to suck me off. That's worth something, isn't it?"

Tannis squirmed noticeably at the bat's reply. His paws fidgeted in his lap as he felt a rise in his shorts. "Not a very good test of hypnosis, though. If you want to prove that you actually had me in a trance, you should get me to do something that I haven't secretly wanted to do all along."

It was Markus's turn to blush. He'd had an attraction to the coyote for some time, and had wondered if Tannis felt the same way about him. He would have to approach Tannis about it later. "You seemed pretty convincing, though."

Tannis chuckled softly. "No, if you want to prove that I'm hypnotized, you should get me to do something that I wouldn't normally want."

The bat cocked an eyebrow at this. "That's...not quite how hypnosis works. You generally can't force someone to do something against their will."

The coyote faked a disappointed sigh. "You mean you can't command me to rob banks and steal from the neighbors?"

Even though he knew Tannis was joking, he still replied. "I can't make you do anything against your normal beliefs or morals."

"So...it would have to be something that I wouldn't outright say no to under normal circumstances...something that I would have to be coaxed into doing."

A smile crept over Markus's lips as an idea came to mind. "I think I know just the thing."

The coyote's gaze dipped down, glancing over the bat's crotch before he replied. "Go on."

"Well, as you probably already know, I'm not exactly what one would consider a normal bat. I have certain...feeding habits that I like to indulge myself in, from time to time."

"What are you proposing?" Tannis asked softly, unsure of where Markus was going with this.

A wide grin pulled back the bat's lips, exposing a set of threatening fangs. "You could willingly submit yourself to letting me drink your blood."

The coyote looked visibly startled by the bat's display. He leaned back, pressing his back against the wall. A paw rose up subconsciously to rest on the side of his neck, where his jugular was situated. His heartbeat quickened at the thought of the bat's needle-sharp fangs piercing such a major vessel. What if Markus couldn't stop the bleeding when he was finished? There was a risk that Tannis could bleed to death.

Tannis could feel his mind filling with fear. As nervous as he was from the bat's suggestion, though, he could feel a spark of curiosity burning in his mind. He didn't let on about it, though. He kept his paws in his lap, covering the partially erect bulge that was rising up. Something about the danger of the situation was exciting him.

"Th-that would be a good test, yes. I won't bleed to death, right?"

"Of course not. It won't do me any good in the long run if my partner dies. It's much more beneficial to me if I let the other person rest and regain their health, so I can do it again at a later time."

Tannis felt conflicted. There was still a looming sense of fear, but the bat's words were at least somewhat reassuring.

"Will you allow me to do this, Tannis?" Markus asked quietly, leaning forward to close the gap between the two.

"You...you won't completely drain me?" the canine asked hesitantly.

"I swear it. I'm very careful about how much blood I take with willing vic-...friends."

The coyote blinked at the bat's unintentional slip. He tried to push it out of his mind as best possible as he pondered silently for a moment. "All right, Markus. I'll let you try it."

"Would you like to get up and move around for a little bit before I start, or dive right in?" the bat asked gently.

The coyote didn't want to waste any time. As nervous as he was about the thought of the bat drinking his blood, he was also secretly excited to find out what it would be like, especially if he was hypnotized into allowing it. He was having a difficult time concealing the growing bulge in his pants, though at the same time secretly hoped that Markus might notice.

"Well, if you can hypnotize me again when I was just hypnotized, I wouldn't mind letting you try it right now."

Markus grinned, nodding lightly to the coyote. "Well, it will probably be easier to get you under, since you're still so relaxed from being hypnotized the first time. I'm going to take things a little slower, though."

Tannis nodded as he made himself comfortable on the bed, though his paws remained in his lap. His fingers fidgeted gently as he tried to relax as much as possible, ignoring the firmness in his shorts. The bat slid toward him, taking a deep breath to clear his own head. As before, he gently brought the coyote's head toward him and began to speak softly while gazing intently into his eyes. The soft music that had been playing the entire time continued to gently float through the air, adding to the pleasant calmness of the experience.

Markus's technique was similar to his first attempt to hypnotize the coyote. While the technique had been successful, he wanted to make sure that the canine was completely entranced. He directed Tannis to focus deeper on relaxing his limbs and muscles, feeling his roommate's body gradually weakening beneath him as it went slack, almost like a ragdoll.

The bat carefully lifted the coyote toward himself, easing his torso away from the wall. He continued to speak softly, ensuring that Tannis was undistracted. The coyote could feel his body relaxing, as if a drug were seeping through his veins. The bat's gentle words were that drug, however, settling deep into his mind as the hypnotic effect grew stronger. Markus slowly maneuvered himself around the coyote, whispering softly in his ear as he moved. He reached out, letting his wings stretch and expand.

Markus leaned closer to the coyote's fuzzy ear, speaking quietly as he began to ease the thin membranes round his roommate's body. "Continue relaxing into my embrace. You can feel your body being wrapped up in mine like a gentle cocoon. Let yourself sink into my wings, and surrender yourself to me."

Tannis's body gently laid back, settling in against the bat's chest as the leathery wings hugged over him. The coyote's arms were gently pinned to his sides by the winged cocoon, leaving him helpless to his roommate. The bat's embrace gradually became more snug, the outline of the coyote's arms and torso distinct through the stretched wing membranes.

"I'm going to enjoy doing this, you know," Markus said quietly into the coyote's ear. "It's been a while since I last fed this way. But I want you to do something for me. I want you to beg for it."

The canine squirmed lightly in the bat's embrace. There was a soft whine, and despite the initial resistance, Tannis's head tipped to the side gently. This wasn't good enough to satisfy Markus's request, however.

"Beg me," Markus said quietly. "Tell me what I want to hear. You know you want it."

There was another squirm from within the bat's leathery wings. The coyote's ears pinned down submissively, a soft blush crawling over his muzzle. He finally replied, though. "Y-yes, I do want it." His voice was soft spoken and gentle. "I want you to feed from me, Markus."

The bat cooed softly into the coyote's ear, making it flick. "Beg me for it."

A soft whine escaped the coyote's muzzle at the bat's demand. "P-please, Markus. Feed from me. I...need this."

"Mmmh, that's what I like to hear," Markus purred into Tannis's ear. "I'd be happy to do this for you, Tannis. I'm going to enjoy this moment, and so are you. Focus on the feel of my wings wrapped around your body, my warm breath on your fur as a draw closer..."

The bat's muzzle dipped down as he spoke lightly, the coyote's body shivering against him with anticipation. Markus couldn't see it, but a distinct bulge was standing up between the coyote's legs. He was growing steadily more excited as the bat continued to tease him. A warm breath brushed over the soft fur lining the coyote's neck before the bat licked him. He slowly drew his elongated tongue along Tannis's neck, making the coyote squirm in his embrace.

"Relax as you feel my teeth press against your neck, friend. When I bite and begin to feed, you'll feel nothing but pleasure."

The dexterous tongue flicked over the coyote's neck once more, drawing another soft whine from the canine. The tip circled slowly, parting the fur to expose the warm flesh beneath. Satisfied, Markus parted his jaws and dipped his head down. His sharpened, oversized fangs pressed gently against the quivering flesh, indenting it slightly. He felt Tannis tense up slightly at the gentle touch, grinning to himself. He hesitated to build suspense, then bit down firmly.

An abrupt gasp broke the silence when Tannis felt the bat's fangs sink into his neck. The needle-sharp fangs buried into his flesh smoothly, an intense shiver rushing through the coyote's body. The bat's wings squeezed around Tannis as a rush of warm blood greeted his tongue. It was a sensation he hadn't experienced in quite a long time. Warm lips pressed against Tannis's neck, forming a snug seal against the coyote's flesh. He let a pool of warm blood roll over his tongue as he licked at the wound, crooning at the familiar coppery taste that he so often craved.

Despite his entranced state, Tannis could feel the sensation of blood draining from his neck. He tipped his head away to fully expose himself to the bat, stretching out his neck to encourage him to continue. The bat growled quietly at the offer, his fangs sinking deeper into the coyote's neck and making Tannis whine sweetly. His eyes settled closed as he swallowed, letting out a heavy, satisfied sigh when the warm blood trickled down into his belly.

In the back of his mind, Tannis knew that losing blood like this was bad. The bat's reassuring words and gentle approach, however, seemed to overshadow it. The coyote's body was burning with desire, growing warmer in the bat's leathery embrace as Markus continued to feed. The bat's nose twitched at the smell of canine musk, rich with arousal. He chewed lightly on Tannis's neck, ensuring that the flow of blood continued while he fed. The push of his fangs made the coyote whimper again, though there were no hints of pain in the canine's voice.

Markus purred quietly as he suckled on his roommate's neck, his belly filling with crimson blood. He had to remind himself to hold back, though. The coyote was beginning to weaken in his wings, due to the loss of blood. He didn't want to completely drain the coyote, as this would kill him. He knew he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he accidentally bled his friend dry, even if the coyote did seem willing to feed him. He gently began to draw his fangs back, retracting them from the open wound. A fresh surge of blood rushed into his muzzle from the bite wound, tempting Markus to continue feeding. The gush was especially sweet, awakening a dark hunger that the bat hadn't satisfied in ages. He resisted the urge, however, pressing his tongue firmly over the wounds as he swallowed.

Tannis shivered lightly as the tip of the bat's tongue gently massaged over the sore marks, relaxing into his roommate's embrace. His body settled against the bat's chest, panting softly. Markus held his tongue against the coyote's neck, hugging the canine fondly for several minutes until he was satisfied that the wound was sealed. His tongue slowly pulled away from the wound, flicking over it once or twice to clean away any remaining blood. The long, pink appendage lapped over Markus's lips, a deep sigh escaping the bat.

"You're going to wake up now," Markus said gently. "I'm going to count backwards, and when I reach one, you'll be fully awake and remember everything that has happened."

As the bat counted down, Tannis could feel his body awakening. It was like waking up from a long daydream, not sure if he had actually experienced everything that had happened. When the bat reached "one," Tannis jumped a little. The firmness of the bat's voice startled him, making him sit upright. A wave of dizziness washed over him, making him lightheaded. He waivered a moment before he fell against Markus's body.

"Easy there, pup," the bat chuckled. "Don't move too quickly."

"What happened?" Tannis asked quietly after drawing in a slow breath to clear his head.

"You tell me," Markus crooned, still holding the coyote against his body with his stretched wings.

The coyote remained quiet for several seconds as his mind replayed the events of the evening. It all seemed so surreal, leaving him to wonder if he had actually experienced any of it. He shifted slowly in the bat's embrace, reaching up to touch his neck. It felt stiff, as if he'd fallen asleep at an odd angle. His fingers lightly touched the wound where the bat had bitten him, making him shiver at how tender it was. That was all the evidence he needed.

"I...how..." Tannis tried to think of something to say, but the words wouldn't come. He was experiencing mixed emotions, further complicated by the persistent cloudiness that resulted from the loss of blood.

"Just relax," Markus purred. "Let's get you out into the living room. I'll get you something to drink to help clear out the fog a bit."

Markus eased himself out from behind the coyote, keeping the canine propped up. As his hands brushed over his roommate's lap, he noticed a distinct wet patch. The inadvertent touch made Tannis gasp loudly and fall over against Markus. The bat chuckled, lifting a paw curiously to sniff at it. The smell of musk was distinct. The coyote had climaxed in his pants while Markus was feeding. It hadn't occurred to the bat that Tannis was enjoying himself quite that much.

Chuckling softly, Markus leaned in to speak quietly into the coyote's ear. "You might want to get yourself cleaned up when you're steady enough."

"What do you...oh." Tannis's muzzle glowed intensely, fidgeting with embarrassment as he became aware of the sticky mess in his boxers.

"Don't worry, hun. I'll find you a clean pair," the bat reassured him.

Tannis nodded, slipping across the bed and carefully resting his feet on the floor. He felt unusually tired, and wanted nothing more than to lie down and rest. He'd donated blood before, but never before had he felt this exhausted. Perhaps his involuntary orgasm had taken a bit out of him on top of the loss of blood. Markus offered his hands to the coyote, his wing membranes stretching out as he did this. The coyote accepted the offer graciously, and with a bit of effort pulled himself to his feet.

The canine wobbled for a moment, his vision suddenly growing dark. He groaned as he lurched forward, but luckily Markus was there to catch him. The bat slipped an arm around Tannis's shoulder, letting the coyote lean against him as the pair made their way out of the bedroom. By the time they made it to the living room, the canine's head was spinning. Markus gently laid him down on the couch, draping a spare blanket over his roommate in case he got cold.

Tannis pulled the blanket up to his chest, his bushy tail thumping lightly against the couch as his mind wandered. His ears listened to the clatter of dishes as the bat made juice, replaying the earlier scene in his head again and again. He was still experiencing mixed emotions about Markus's ability to hypnotize others. If the bat could get him to willingly allow his blood to be drained, what else could the bat succeed in making him do? It was somewhat troubling, and even disturbing.

At the same time, the coyote couldn't deny how pleasant the experience had been. The act of being bitten by the bat and bled was exciting. The stickiness of the coyote's boxers reminded him of this, making him blush lightly. He'd never experienced an involuntary orgasm before, and wondered if perhaps he had an undiscovered fetish for blood play, hypnosis, or even both. Still, there was a nagging fear in the back of his mind.

A heavy yawn escaped the coyote's muzzle as the bat returned. Markus placed a large glass of orange juice on the coffee table, then offered Tannis a fresh pair of boxers and pajamas. The canine sat up, propped against the armrest as he shuffled beneath the blanket. He paused a moment to glanced up at Markus.

"Could you...erm...turn around or something?"

The bat chuckled softly. "You sucked me off, yet you're still nervous about changing, huh?"

Tannis flushed hotly at the bat's observation. Despite the teasing words, however, Markus excused himself to the kitchen. The coyote was quick to whisk off his soiled clothes under the blanket, keeping his lower body as covered as he could manage. He wiggled into his boxers and pajamas, though the lingering smell of musk was still strong. He would have to shower eventually to properly clean up.

"You can come back," Tannis called out, followed by another heavy yawn.

The bat returned a moment later, glancing down at the coyote who looked as if he were about to fall asleep at any moment. He sat down at the other end of the couch, a cold glass of water clutched between his paws.

"You look beat," he casually observed, taking a sip of his water.

"I feel exhausted," Tannis replied. "I've given blood before, but I'm usually okay to drive home once I've had a bit of R&R. Just how much blood did you take?"

The bat glanced over, humming to himself as he lightly traced a few fingers over his soft belly. "Well, not any more than one would usually give from donating blood."

"Why do I feel so tired, then? I don't think that...um...my excitement...would...you know..." Tannis fidgeted nervously as he trailed off, too embarrassed to finish the thought.

The bat pondered silently, considering how to answer that question. He wasn't sure if he should share the full truth or not, as it could potentially cost him a good roommate. The sweet finale of his blood meal had been pleasant, but it was something that he generally kept subdued. He'd lost friends in the past by sharing his dark secret, and it was something that he didn't want to risk with Tannis. On the other hand, though, he'd shared a good number of secrets already with the coyote, not to mention their recent experience with hypnosis.

Tannis seemed to notice the bat's thought process and chimed in. "Something on your mind, Markus? You seem a bit lost in thought."

The bat took a deep breath and turned to face Tannis. "I know it's silly to ask now, after tonight's events, but do you trust me, Tannis?"

The coyote nodded. "Of course I trust you, Markus. Why do you ask?"

Markus remained silent for several seconds. He would have to choose his words carefully. "Well, I have a bit of an odd background. You see..." He paused a moment, then decided to lay it out on the table. "I'm not one-hundred percent bat. I have a bit of demon blood. I tend to keep it suppressed, though."

The coyote nodded gently, prompting Markus to continue. The bat could see the confusion on his muzzle, combined with a touch of concern and curiosity.

"It's not often that I feed on blood, because it awakens other deeper hungers that I try to hide. I generally do a good job of it, but tonight I slipped a little. I...inadvertently drew out some of your essence while I was feeding, probably due to your excited state."

Tannis's muzzle grew distinctly more concerned. "Essence?"

"Your, uh, life force."

The coyote's paw rose to his chest, glancing down at himself. "You mean my soul?"

Markus nodded. "Multiple terms for the same basic concept. I only took a small amount, so there won't be any lasting harm. You'll feel unusually groggy for a short time while your body recovers."

Tannis shifted anxiously on the couch. He didn't know what to think, now. The thought that the bat could completely end his life, as well as his existence, terrified him. His tail thumped apprehensively against the couch as he remained focused on the bat. "I...don't know what to say."

"Please, promise me you won't share this with anyone," Markus said firmly. "This is extremely important to me."

The coyote hesitated. He felt suddenly wary of the large bat, as if Markus could attack him at any moment. The back of his mind reminded him of what the bat had done for him up to this point, however. Markus had always been supportive of Tannis's decisions, and was always there to help the coyote whenever he needed it. On top of that, he had developed an attraction to the bat that, until now, he had been afraid to express. In addition, he couldn't deny how exciting it was to be placed under the bat's "spell" and coaxed into fulfilling his roommate's wishes, as well as his own.

Finally, the coyote replied. "I promise, Markus. I trust you."

The bat gazed into the coyote's eyes as he said this. The canine's words were genuine, offering him relief. "Thank you."

Tannis pondered over this new information for a moment before he spoke again. "Markus, can I ask you something?" A nod from the bat encouraged him to continue. "What's it like?"

"Being part demon?"

Tannis shook his head. "Not that, being able to drain someone's life force. How does it feel?"

The bat chuckled softly. "Well, it's not unlike eating, though in this case more like recharging a battery. The taste of someone's essence is sweeter than anything you can imagine to a demonic creature, and if done right, better than sex."

"Only for you, though," Tannis observed.

A grin spread over Markus's lips, shaking his head in disagreement. "Only the cruel ones are that selfish. I make sure my partners enjoy themselves when I drain their essence, whether taking a little bit, or going all the way."

"Is...that why I...?"

Markus didn't let his friend finish the thought. "I told you it would be a pleasurable experience, didn't I?" He grinned, flashing his fangs at the coyote.

Tannis blushed as he finally reached for his juice, unsure of what to say. The bat's observation was true, however. Even though Markus had allegedly taken a bit of his essence while drinking the coyote's blood, Tannis had felt no pain or suffering. He could feel himself growing warmer as he dwelled on the thought. Even though he'd experienced an intense climax recently, he had to adjust his blanket to conceal a growing bulge. It was too little, too late, however. The bat had already taken notice to the coyote's "interest."

"I won't lie, Tannis. It's been quite a long time since I last tasted someone's essence. Even that small amount that I took from you has me feeling more awake than I have in ages."

"Well...you could sample a bit more if you'd like," Tannis said quietly, feeling his erection throb at the thought.

"That is quite tempting," Markus replied quietly, his elongated tongue flicking out over his lips. His mind tugged lightly at him, encouraging him to pursue his roommate's offer. He leaned toward Tannis with a hungry gaze, but abruptly stopped. "No, I shouldn't. It's too dangerous."

"What do you mean?"

"Just...no. I can't do it," Markus said firmly. "We should stop discussing this, because there's too much risk."

The coyote whimpered softly, shifting on the couch to avoid drawing attention to his erection. He gazed longingly into the bat's eyes, hoping that Markus would change his mind. The determined expression on the bat's muzzle made him reconsider, though. Reluctantly, his head lowered.

"All right, Markus. I'll try not to bother you about it," Tannis said quietly.

"Thank you for understanding," Markus said. The bat slipped off the couch and stood up as Tannis returned to drinking his juice. "I'm gonna be in my bedroom studying if you need me."

The coyote's gaze followed the bat as he disappeared to his bedroom. The door slowly closed with a soft click, leaving Tannis alone in silence. He reached for the remote and switched on the TV, though he scarcely paid attention to what was being displayed. He was far too distracted with the thoughts in his head. Fear slowly gave way to curiosity and excitement as he relived the experience, further arousing the coyote. He had to remind himself of Markus's wish, and tried to focus on the television. Inevitably, however, his mind would wander back to the thought of the handsome bat feeding on him, satisfying his unusual hunger.

Before long, tiredness got the better of the coyote. The soft noise of the TV helped lull him to sleep, bringing dreams of the handsome bat to the coyote's mind while he rested. Everything seemed so vivid that Tannis could have sworn he was awake. He was in his bedroom listening to the bat's soft, sultry voice. He could feel the bat's fingers caressing up and down his body, slightly lower each time they dipped down. A gust of warm breath brushed over his neck before the bat's glistening fangs latched on, sinking deep into his flesh. Everything felt so real to him, and so pleasant. The sensations lingered when Tannis suddenly snapped awake, finding himself back on the living room couch where he'd dozed off.

Tannis shifted on the couch while trying his hardest to push the images out of his mind. He couldn't ignore the throbbing erection between his legs, though. A wet spot was forming in his boxers from the excitement, but he knew that he had to restrain himself. Resisting only made temptation stronger, though. Perhaps he could convince Markus to indulge him again.

As time went by, Tannis became steadily more determined to experience the bat's unusual talent again. As he thought back on the conversation that had taken place before Markus retreated to his bedroom, Tannis found a loophole. He had only promised the bat that he would try not to bother him. He technically hadn't made a solid commitment to his roommate. In his aroused state, that was all the convincing the coyote needed.

Tannis gently pushed off the blanket and sat up, pausing to glance at a clock hanging on the wall. To his surprise, several hours had passed since Markus left him in the living room. He hadn't been aware that he was asleep for that long. He felt refreshed, though, much to his relief. The coyote carefully adjusted his boxers so that his erection wasn't standing straight out, pinning it beneath the waistband against his belly. The boxers did little to conceal the bulge, but it was more subtle than it would have been otherwise. He considered wrapping the blanket around himself, but decided that his vest would hang over it sufficiently - he hoped.

The coyote slowly sauntered toward Markus's bedroom, his ears perked as he listened for signs of the bat. He hoped that Markus hadn't left while he was asleep. He stopped at the bedroom door and peered in, gently nudging it open. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the bat hunched over his desk, one hand on his head with a textbook open in front of him. A soft, rhythmic tapping could be heard as he lightly bounced a highlighter pen against the desktop.

Tannis could hear the bat mumbling quietly to himself, likely repeating what he was reading. It was clear that the bat was distracted, however. He occasionally paused mid-sentence, only to repeat what he'd already started to say. Hesitating a moment, Tannis reached up and knocked lightly on the doorframe. The bat jumped visibly in his chair, snapped from his thought process. He twisted around to face Tannis, sighing heavily.

"Jesus, Tannis, you startled me," he said quietly.

The coyote gently pushed the door open to step into the bat's room. "Sorry, didn't mean...wait, I actually succeeded in sneaking up on you?"

"Well...I've had a lot on my mind. Do you need something?" Markus asked, sitting up. He suspected he knew the coyote's reason for visiting him so soon.

"I don't know yet," Tannis replied. "That's why I'm here, though. I've been thinking for a while..." The bat interrupted him with a nod. "As have I. Continue, though."

Tannis fidgeted nervously against the doorframe, wishing he'd wrapped himself up in a blanket. He could feel his erection pushing against his boxers, threatening to slip beneath the waistband and stand out. He pondered how to approach the subject, knowing that it would be difficult to talk the bat into what he was about to suggest.

"I want you to hypnotize me again, Markus. I want to feel you feeding on my essence, again."

So much for diplomacy. The words had slipped out of Tannis's mouth before he even realized it. He groaned quietly at himself, knowing that his excited state had gotten the best of him already.

Markus seemed surprised by the upfront question. He would have expected Tannis to beat around the bush a bit before actually getting around to asking. "Tannis, I already told you that I don't want to do that. It's dangerous."

"But it felt so good," Tannis admitted, becoming noticeably more anxious. "Just a little bit?"

The bat sighed heavily as he pushed himself away from his desk. He twisted his chair to face the coyote properly, leaning forward. "It's not as simple as that, Tannis. I'm not just taking a little bit of blood, like I did the first time. I'm draining your life force; your very soul. Even if I didn't take the whole thing, there's still the possibility that you could go into shock, or even an irreversible coma. That is, of course, assuming that you don't just die because of it."

The coyote's ears flattened somewhat at this information. The reminder of his erect length straining against his boxers, however, prompted him to persist. "I'd be willing to take that risk, Markus. I haven't felt that good in a long time," he admitted to the bat.

Even though he knew better due to past experiences, Markus couldn't help but let his mind dwell on the pleasant warmth of the coyote's essence that he had sampled. The canine's essence was especially vibrant, having fully awakened the bat's dark hunter. It left the bat with a great deal of conflict. He knew that feeding on the coyote's life force was risky, but he wanted more.

The bat inhaled deeply and let it out in a heavy sigh, torn between decisions. The deep breath brought with it a familiar scent. He could smell the coyote's musk from their earlier session, though the lingering scent seemed stronger than it should have been. His eyes dipped to the coyote's hips, bringing a smirk to the bat's muzzle. With the way Tannis was leaned against the doorframe, his vest was doing little to conceal the distinct bulge in the coyote's pajamas. The male was oblivious to the fact that the tip of his canine shaft was peeking over the lip of his waistband.

Even though it was against his better judgment, Markus seriously considered his roommate's request. The look in the coyote's eyes clearly conveyed his desire to experience the bat's attention once more. If he was careful, perhaps another little taste wouldn't hurt.

"Markus? Could you do this for me?" Tannis inquired softly.

The pleading look that Tannis gave him was enough to cause the bat to cave. "All right. If it means that much to you, I'll do it. But I'm only going to take a little bit."

Tannis perked up immediately, his face shining at the bat's response. He made a suggestive motion with a wiggle of his hips, winking to the bat. "Oh, you can take as much as you'd like, Markus."

The offer was tempting, but Markus attempted to push his mind away from it quickly. He couldn't help but smile at his roommate's eagerness, though. If nothing else, Tannis was at least aware of the danger, so he knew what he was getting himself into. That offered a small amount of consolation. Markus gestured to the bed, wondering if he was making a wise decision.

"Make yourself comfortable, then. I want to make sure you enjoy this as much as possible, in case anything happens."

Tannis resisted the urge to hug the bat, but his excitement was noticeable. He scurried toward the bed and dove onto it, causing it to creak noisily when he bounced against the mattress. The bat watched him with a soft chuckle, debating whether it was a good idea to really follow through with this. The hunger deep within his being reminded him of his desire to feed, though, prompting him to continue.

Tannis sighed contently as soft music once again began to stream from the bat's computer. Markus placed a bookmark in his textbook and rose from his chair, turning to face the bed. He still showed a bit of hesitance as he approached and sat down next to his roommate, who was once again stretched out comfortably.

"Are you absolutely sure about this, Tannis?" he asked gently.

The coyote nodded immediately. With the way he was sprawled out on the bed, it was nearly impossible to conceal his erection. The outline of it was plainly visible against the stretched fabric of his boxers. Markus was tempted to give the coyote a squeeze, but he resisted the urge for now. Perhaps when Tannis was hypnotized, though...

"I'm positive, Markus. I want you to enjoy this as much as I do."

The offer planted plenty of ideas in the bat's head as he nodded. "Considering how much you enjoyed the first feeding, I don't think that will be an issue."

Tannis blushed lightly, and despite the bat's observation chose not to draw attention to the stiffness that was straining beneath his boxers.

"I'm going to do things a bit different, just so you know. There won't be any biting involved this time. Just a very deep, very special kiss," Markus said with a soft grin.

Tannis puckered up teasingly, leaning forward as if to kiss the bat. "That's easy enough."

Markus laughed softly, pushing the coyote's chest to the bed. "Not so fast, mutt. You're not even hypnotized yet."

The tip of the coyote's pink tongue poked out at Markus when he said that. Markus wagged a finger at him, shaking his head. He shushed Tannis, then cradled the coyote's cheeks and leaned down. He began to relax the canine much as he had before, keeping his gaze locked on Tannis's as he spoke gently. Despite the gradual relaxation that Tannis was experiencing, the erection in his boxers persisted.

Even though Tannis could feel his body relaxing as the bat spoke to him, his mind still occasionally wandered to thoughts of their previous session. In his steadily calming state of mind, though, the experiences seemed more real than daydream. Markus could tell that Tannis's mind was wandering, but it didn't hinder his ability to work his magic. He spoke quietly, telling Tannis what he would be experiencing.

As he reminded Tannis of how pleasant the experience would be, Markus snuck a paw down and began to unbutton his own pants. The smell of the coyote's arousal was too irresistible to pass up. He pushed his pants open and reached down, rubbing his fingers over his crotch. He was already rather perky, so it didn't take much to bring himself to a full erection.

"I hope you don't mind if I take care of some of my own needs first," Markus said in a whisper. "It's only fair, since you're obviously excited about this whole thing."

The coyote nodded lightly, but he didn't say anything. Even though he was being hypnotized, it was all the approval Markus needed. The bat pushed his boxers down, then wiggled himself out of his pants. Subtlety was dropped as he pulled Tannis toward him. The bat was quick to remove his roommate's pajamas, tossing them aside. He admired the swollen bulge of Tannis's boxers, softly brushing a finger over the exposed canine tip that was protruding above the waistband. The gentle touch made Tannis gasp softly and shiver.

"Just relax and enjoy yourself," Markus said gently. He lifted the waistband away from the coyote's erection and tugged down, relieving the male of his underwear. The bat's tongue slid over his lips at the sight, a paw stroking over his length to smear a dribble of slick pre. He slid closer to his roommate, releasing his shaft to reach for the coyote's thighs. His paws tucked beneath the fuzzy thighs, lifting them away from the bed. He pushed Tannis's legs apart, exposing the canine's rump to him.

Markus positioned himself between his roommate's parted thighs, easing in closer. He moved in until the erect tip of his crimson shaft nested itself between the coyote's fuzzy cheeks. Normally he was a bit gentler with his partners, but tonight was different. The dripping tip of his member pushed against the coyote's warm entrance firmly, meeting resistance. The bat growled quietly, shoving his hips forward. A near-yip escaped the coyote's muzzle when Markus's length was forced in. His body clenched, but the bat's firm hold on his hips prevented him from squeezing his thighs together.

The bat's hips ground back and forth to work his crimson member deeper into his roommate's body, grunting each time he rolled forward. Eventually his crotch bumped into the coyote's hips, Markus's throbbing member buried deep within. He immediately pulled his hips back and thrust in, a spurt of warm pre lubricating the coyote's walls. Markus leaned down to wrap his jaws lightly around the side of the coyote's neck, biting down dominantly. He didn't penetrate the skin, however. The firm clamp made Tannis clench again, drawing a satisfied growl from Markus's lips.

Markus worked himself into a steady rhythm without hesitation, pushing his throbbing length deep into his roommate. Each thrust was accompanied by a lewd slurp, enhanced by the wetness that was steadily leaking from the bat's length. Markus chewed softly on the coyote's neck as he rammed into the canine, panting softly through his nose. He knew he wouldn't be able to maintain the rough pace for long, but it didn't matter. The bat simply wanted to relieve some tension before he continued, especially if anything happened at the end.

Tannis's hips began to arch upward to match the bat's aggressive motions. Markus would need to take some time to calm the coyote back down once he was finished. The rough rutting was awakening the coyote from his trance, so that would need to be remedied. The bat released the firm hold he had on Tannis's neck, lapping over the sensitive area. He moved to the other side of the coyote's neck and bit down there instead, quickening his forceful thrusts.

Markus could feel the pleasure quickly rising. It wouldn't be much longer before he reached his peak. He doubled his efforts, his hips moving in short, deep thrusts to push himself the rest of the way. The coyote was gasping softly each time the bat's length was slammed in, his bowels randomly clenching around the meaty flesh. The bat nearly bit down hard enough to pierce Tannis's neck when he growled, feeling a familiar wave of pleasure as he reached climax.

The bat's shaft throbbed as Markus rammed his hips forward one final time, erupting with heated spunk in the coyote's bowels. He panted quickly as he kept himself deeply nestled in the coyote, emptying his balls into his roommate's rump. He occasionally drew back an inch or two to grind himself back in, milking out his warm load. Even though Tannis hadn't reached his own orgasm, Markus chose to ignore it. The coyote's length was pulsing against his belly, a wet patch matting down the fur immediately surrounding the tip of his shaft.

Tannis squirmed when Markus began to draw his shaft back. The coyote tried to wiggle his hips down to keep that warm length buried inside. A soft chuckle escaped the bat's lips as he reached up to lightly caress the coyote's cheeks, drawing himself the rest of the way back with a soft slurp. Markus took a deep breath to calm himself a bit before he locked his gaze with the coyote's.

"Just relax, hun. Let your body unwind; let your muscles relax."

The effect was almost immediate. Markus felt the coyote's wiggling lessen, then stop entirely. The bat repeated himself as he leaned closer, lightly bumping noses with his roommate. The coyote's eyes were focused on his own, gazing deep into the bat's dark pupils.

"You know what's going to happen next," the bat said, still panting lightly as he came down from orgasm. "You've been waiting for it, I can tell. But I want you to beg me for it, Tannis. I want to hear how badly you want me to drink your essence."

The coyote's ears flattened submissively. A little whine escaped his lips, but he didn't fight the bat's request. "I...want you to drain my essence, Markus."

The bat tsk'd softly, shaking his head. "I know you can do better than that, pup. I'm about to do something very special for you. I need to know that you actually want it."

The coyote whined, wiggling beneath the bat. "Please, Markus. I want you to do this...I need it..."

"Good enough," the bat thought to himself with a soft smirk. He lightly bumped his nose against the coyote's, nuzzling him lightly before pressing his lips against Tannis's for a gentle kiss. There was a moment of hesitation before the coyote pressed into the kiss. The bat's fingers caressed the coyote's cheek softly, sighing deeply through his nose as he prepared himself. Regardless of the outcome, there would be no turning back once he started. He convinced himself to follow through with his promise, pressing closer. A soft murr escaped his roommate's lips as he deepened the kiss somewhat, encouraging the bat to continue.

Markus grinned softly, a paw sliding to the back of Tannis's head. He tugged the canine firmly, turning the gentle kiss into a much more passionate one. The bat drew on his demonic side as the kiss lingered, his tongue flicking lightly over the coyote's lips. Tannis's body trembled lightly as Markus began to draw up his essence, focused on the coyote's core. The first trickle of it passed the bat's lips, bringing a longing sigh from the bat's throat. It had been so long since he had properly done this.

To the demonic bat, the taste of the coyote's essence was like ambrosia. He let the glistening substance roll over his tongue, drawing it into his muzzle before he took the first swallow. He crooned with a needy tremble, focusing harder to draw up more. His lips lightly kneaded over the coyote's as he began to eagerly feed, the glowing essence flowing smoothly into his throat.

As promised, the sensation was delightful. Tannis squirmed softly, a little whine escaping into the passionate kiss. Pleasant warmth was steadily spreading over his body as the bat drew up his essence, making him squirm under the bat. Being so pent up made the sensations even stronger, since he hadn't reached climax when Markus was taking him. He wasn't aware, but his shaft was leaking to reflect that excitement. Drops of clear precum leaked from the glistening tip, spreading the wetness that matted the fur on his belly.

Markus became focused on his feeding, beginning to draw up the coyote's essence at a quickened pace. The warmth of it spread outward from his belly, radiating with vigor that the bat hadn't felt in years. The energy of the coyote's essence was stronger than anyone Markus had ever fed from. It was unusually satisfying, and he wanted more of it.

A quiet whimper of need escaped Tannis's lips as Markus began to draw up mouthful after mouthful of glistening essence. He could feel the male beneath him beginning to weaken, his muscles deeply relaxing as the energy was drained from the coyote's body. The bat's nostrils flared when he felt Tannis shudder beneath him, the scent of climax rising from Tannis's body. He didn't need to look to realize that the coyote had reached climax from the pleasure of being drained.

Fighting the urge to continue, Markus gently pulled his lips free of his roommate's. His lengthy tongue brushed over his lips to flick away any traces of the coyote's life energy, then made a similar pass over his roommate's muzzle. Tannis panted gently beneath the bat, his body feeling heavy and sluggish. He tried to speak, but found it difficult to form words. It took a good deal of concentration for him to finally manage a sentence.

"P-please...don't stop," Tannis said quietly.

Markus didn't say anything back to his roommate. He gazed down at the weakened coyote, brushing a palm across his cheek to smooth down the short fur. A heavy, satisfied sigh rose from his lips as he smiled fondly. He had never felt this way about someone before. The passion of the moment was stronger than anything he'd experienced.

"Markus," the coyote continued, "I want you to keep going. Take all of it."

Markus knew that the coyote's judgment was clouded from being hypnotized, compounded by the fact that his was both physically and mentally weakened from having his life force sucked out. However, the lingering warmth that was dissolving into the bat's own essence made it difficult to resist the temptation to continue. Against his earlier promises, Markus leaned in and drew Tannis up for another deep kiss. This one, however, would be the coyote's last.

The bat resumed drawing up the coyote's life force, allowing himself to swallow it unrestrained. With the coyote's permission to take everything, there was no need to hold back. The glistening, sweet essence flowed freely into the bat's mouth, greedily swallowing it down with soft, approving groans. The coyote's arms circled around Markus's chest as he fed, bringing the bat into a gentle embrace as brought the two intimately close. The bat could feel the wetness of Tannis's fur pressing against him, but he didn't seem to care.

Tannis's body grew heavier as the last remains of his essence were drawn into the bat's mouth and swallowed. There was a moment of hesitation before Markus finished the deed, ripping the last of the coyote's soul from his body. He allowed the glistening nectar to roll over his tongue for several seconds, enjoying the last taste of his roommate's life force before he swallowed it. The bat reared up, lifting his head back with eyes closed as he took a deep breath though his nose, relishing the blissful sensation of another being's soul tucked within him.

As Markus sat up, the coyote's lifeless arms slipped away from his torso and flopped to the bed. The bat's paws were still resting on Tannis's cheeks as he lowered his gaze. He stared down into his roommate's eyes, the moment of exhilaration fading when he realized what he'd done. The coyote's lifeless eyes gazed back at him, cold and unmoving. Tannis was dead.

The bat's throat tightened as he hunched forward over his roommate, gently letting Tannis settle back against the bed. He could feel the coyote's soul steadily melting away in his body, efficiently absorbed into the bat's core. The bat had pulled out every last piece of Tannis's soul and devoured it. His eyes began to tear up as he leaned down, cradling Tannis's cheeks as he rested his forehead against the canine's.

"I'm so sorry, Tannis, I didn't want this to happen," the bat choked out softly.

A droplet trickled down from the corner of the bat's eye, staining a path over his muzzle as it soaked into the fur. He whimpered quietly, eyes clenching as he circled an arm around his roommate's corpse and hugged him tightly.

Focusing his attention inward as he tried to fight back tears, Markus could feel the warmth of the coyote's soul melting into his body. As he dwelled on that fading soul, a calming sensation began to settle over him. He sniffled quietly, still embracing the coyote as he concentrated on the source of that calm feeling. As he did, a hushed voice seemed to speak to his mind. It was Tannis. Even though it wasn't a literal voice in the bedroom, Markus's ears flickered as he listened. There weren't any words spoken, though, only emotions.

The bat felt relieved when he realized that Tannis was okay with what he had done. The coyote was actually happy with it, even. As he began to dig deeper into the coyote's lingering consciousness, he realized that Tannis had secretly desired this ever since meeting the bat. Markus had unknowingly granted the coyote the one wish that he'd always hoped for - to be with the bat forever. His ability to hypnotize Tannis had broken through the barrier of shyness that previously had been impenetrable.

The voice grew stronger in Markus's head, this time speaking clearly to him, as if someone was whispering into the bat's ear. "Thank you, Markus. You've made me so happy..."

Then, it was gone. The last of the coyote's essence melted away into the bat's soul, absorbed into the bat's own core. Markus gazed down at his lifeless roommate, still embracing him fondly as a tear dripped down his muzzle. The bat was deeply saddened that it had taken something so drastic to bring all this to light. At the same time, though, he was pleased that he had been able to satisfy the coyote's one wish. He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on the coyote's cheek, holding it for a long second.

Markus lifted his muzzle to speak softly into Tannis' ear, even though the words would not be received. "I won't ever forget this, Tannis. You'll always be safe with me...forever..."
