#5 of Internal Auditor


Yeah, the previous post was supposed to be my last post for stories but somehow, after my exams, I was able to write more. So, this came out. This will be my last post for 2011! Really! It so happens that I had time to write in these past week.


Internal Auditor 5


Smith looked away with a slight blush burning under his cheeks, scooted to the corner of the lift. Of all the furs in the world, it was this guy that came into the elevator. What is he doing here anyways? This wasn't the kind of place a guy like him should associate with and from the looks of things; this might turn into something unexpected. The tiger tried to hide himself by covering up his face with the briefcase that he brought along.

This is lame... The voice in his head screamed.

The doors closed with a groan and buttons were pushed, leaving Smith and the other occupant to deal with each other. For a few seconds, Smith swore that he looked like an idiot with a briefcase in front of him but he didn't hear a word from the other. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding or his eyes playing tricks with him. Maybe it's just somebody who looked like him but just isn't. In the end, he decided to embrace whatever truth that was laid for him.

"You know, if you're trying to hide that cute face of yours, you're doing a fairly poor job at it." A paw closed Smith to a corner and the tiger yelped in surprise. He finally got a good look at the man and his assumptions were true. It is him!

"What are you doing here in this place, cutey." Speedy cooed at him with a finger tipped over at his chin, wiggling slightly.

"Ah... um... I.... I work here?" Smith gulped.

Speedy stopped and blinked like the other had popped a third head from his shoulder. "You work here?"

"Y-Yes. I work here..." Slow and steady.

"Wait, didn't you tell me that you work as an internal auditor for a company?" His voice came down to a whisper.

"Uh huh..." His identity was about to be blown away.

"Does... that mean..." He stopped and opened a file that contained his essentials. Eventually, he got what he needed and stared at the paper.

Smith was a little confused with the dilemma that the tiger had encountered but if he didn't know any better, this man was about to audit the company. External auditors like Speedy would usually have all the information pertaining to the company before hand and had done intensive research about any omissions or possibility that the corporate might be involved in any scandal.

For the sake of his own sanity, he begged to the gods that this wasn't true. For whatever that happened within this corporation, it would completely ruin his image and there's no telling what would happen afterwards. This tiger was cute and hot in so many ways possible and it's hard to actually find one of the same species and at least showed some interest in him. An opportunity of a lifetime!

"Please don't tell me that you're the engagement audit team for this company. Please tell me it isn't so." He begged.

Speedy turned to face him for a while before the elevator stopped with a halt. A soft Ding resounded and they were at their respective levels. The door pried itself open but the two males had yet to exit. Rather, they chose to stare at each other with disdain. Smith was lost for words. He knew what the tiger was thinking. Him, being a coward, a man with no dignity, without integrity and objectivity; allowing himself to be taken by such complexity. This was the final blow and if Speedy would have done his homework before auditing in, he'd known what are the omissions and errors that were present in the company.

As of now, Smith was involved in this case. Speedy turned and left with a growl, leaving the other tiger alone. The door was about to close but Smith managed to get out before it closes.

"Good morning, Mr. Smith." The company secretary greeted us with a smile. "Oh, and a good morning to you too, Mr. Speedy. I do hope that you're him."

Speedy was quick to change into his prior friendly manner and greeted the female badger with a smile. "Yes, yes I am. Don't bother yourself with showing me around. I'm sure Mr. Smith here would be more than happy to show me around, right?" Bitter as it may be, he looked at him with a big smile.

"Yes... I'll... show him around..." He replied softly.

"You've met Mr. Smith. I'm glad. My thanks, Mr. Smith." The badger took a card and gave it to Speedy. "This is my extension line, if you need anything, please, do not hesitate to call me. All reports and statements are ready for filing and you may start your work in half an hour. Please, do walk around. We have a pantry here if you need breakfast or hungry."

"Oh no, it's alright but thank you. C'mon Smith, I need to take a leak." Speedy cajoled the tiger forward. He obeyed without a word.


The door slammed with a bang, Smith quickly pushed to a corner as Speedy sized him up. Both male tiger looked at each other but one with fear and the other with anger. While they knew what the situation at hand was, the known fact that Smith, the integrity of an auditor, is one of the cronies involved in this scheme.

Speedy, the larger tiger, breathed heavily down his nose, leering into his very soul as he tried to seek for an answer and explanation of his wrongdoings. "Would you be a dear... Mr. Smith, and tell me what you're playing at? Pulling yourself into such drastic situations? Not only that, jeopardizing your image as a professional accountant? Haven't you given a second thought about this?"

As much as he wanted to push the tiger off, Smith couldn't put himself up to it. "You think I haven't? I've been staying up late at nights to find what's wrong with the reports. It's not easy and they've got it covered pretty well."

"Smith, I don't care what they do to their reports and accounts. However, I do want to know and care why you are involved in this."

He was about to retort back but clamped his mouth shut. After all that he's been through, there was nothing much to say about it. It was mainly peer pressure but the threats that came from Shaun were undulating. The wolf practically had his balls under his dirty claws and there wasn't much that he could do to correct the wrongs. Two wrongs do not make a right but here he was, making another wrong to cover up bigger problems.

"Please do not push me any longer..." The tiger looked away, afraid to make contact.

Speedy looked on but eventually, he sympathized with him. For the longest time, he stared down at the quiet tiger and for minutes, no words were exchanged between each other. The larger tiger pulled himself away as he gave him breathing room.

"Thank you..." Smith dropped his case, lowered himself, and began to sob uncontrollably.

"I..." There he stood, watching the man cry like a cub. It was uncalled for but he knew better. This was the result of all the man's pent up frustration with work and he had no one to turn to. What little that he had, it was all gone. Speedy didn't know much about his personal lifestyle but through substantial amount of experience dealing with auditors like him, he knew that something was terribly wrong with the company.

"I'm sorry..." He knelt and stroked against his head. Smith had tears rolling down his cheeks while dripping over the ground and he did nothing to quiet himself down. This was something that he had never done before but there wasn't anybody that would support him. Speedy was the only one that he could trust at this moment but he knew better. Sooner or later, the other tiger would have to turn him in to the authorities and that was the end of his life. It all comes crumbling down within these few days.

"Why do I have to suffer like this...?" Smith pounded against the floor. "Why! What have I done! Haven't I done enough to fulfill my duties?"

"I do not know, Smith, I really don't." His paw ran across his forehead.

"Whatever that I do, it's never enough for these bastards. This would be my third transfer from another company and... and... I.... I can't do this any... longer..."

Speedy sighed and hugged the sobbing tiger down. "I'm sure that you've done a great job at what you do. They just don't appreciate it. That's all."

"Doesn't mean anything..." He choked. "My futile attempts... to make something good and be better... all goes down without a fight. What must I do...?" Smith looked up with teary eyes.

"I..." Speedy stammered as he gazed into the eyes of a poor feline soul. It was hypnotizing as his tears streaked down his cheeks. Each said droplets were the essence of his hardship and contribution towards his work but nobody ever appreciates them. Rather than giving a good word for him, he was pulled into a mischievous plot of gaining more wealth from one another.

They stayed this way for a few minutes. Speedy leaned over to the wall, sat crossed-legged while holding the poor tiger under his arms. His fingers deftly stroked against his head fur while hearing him out. It all started off with the night where Shaun came in, the wolf letting up a proposal. He was skeptical and should have trusted his instinct. Then came the fact that he was dominated entirely by a large malamute; followed by the threats laid out by Shaun. If that wasn't enough, he was played out as a scapegoat for their scheme, treating him like dirt after all that he's done. To make matters worse, his co-workers and colleagues did not show him any respect. They called him names, poked fun of him, never really cared about his welfare and did all they can to avoid making contact with him. His peers were ruining his life.

Rivers of the tiger's explicit sadness rolled down his cheeks as they matted Speedy's trousers. He didn't mind it though. What the tiger need to do now was to be here and hear Smith out. This was something that he needed to know if he were to claim justice against this corporation, to clear the man's name.

Finally, the sobbing stopped; slight hiccups replaced the solemn atmosphere. As they hugged each other, finding comfort from within, they laid there without a word. The voice of Smith's lowly chokes slowly came to a halt; Speedy continued to pet on him. This went on for quite a while.

"Feeling better now?" The larger tiger asked.

Smith sighed and wiped any remnants of his tears. "Yeah, much better in fact. Thanks."

"It's okay. This isn't the first that I've encountered someone crying on my lap," he retorted with a smile. "In my field of work, there are one or two incidents where such cases like yours happen but... I don't know why I am the one to handle them."

A small chuckle broke the tension. "Yeah, cause you're cute and fluffy." Smith retorted with glee, obviously over with his depression.

"Oh? I'm cute and fluffy? When have I been cute and fluffy?"

"Don't play coy. You're cute and fluffy." The tiger murred with eyes closed.

"Maybe it's about time to trim some of this 'fluffiness' off."

Smith gasped and looked up at him. "You'll never!"

"Kidding, smartypants."

The tiger growled softly at him but what he felt next was something unexpected. Sure, he had fallen quite a bit for a much larger feline that he met once at gym but when his nose posed between each other, Smith could hear his hard breathing and the cologne that stuck to his fur. Their eyes met, trying to understand each other as the situation got more complicated. Smith's mouth opened and closed as he tried to think of what to say towards him but nothing came. Rather... replaced by a pair of sweet delicate lips.

Speedy tilted to the side and gave a soft and subtle kiss, catching the other male off guard. Pressed between each other, they purred and enjoyed the warmth that came with the territory. Smith parted his lips as the other tried to pry it open, enjoying the lewd sensation of swapping saliva. As their passion deepened up even more, the collected tiger began to stroke at the larger male's head, petting and purring in between. His soft and beautiful stripped fur danced in between his fingers and the more he yearned for him, the harder it was to keep away.

This went on for a few minutes, both felines in deep passionate lust, paws grasped between each other, fondling as they go along. Their breathing got heavier and heavier by the second as they tried to gain dominance from one another. Speedy, by far, was winning the match but Smith wasn't about to let him gloat in glory. The smaller tiger growled and pushed Speedy backwards, pinning his head towards the wall but the other wasn't about to give in that easily. Both of his strong paws clamped over at the tiger's neck and held him firmly, placing extra pressure against his body but Smith wasn't about to let him win over.

Tongue ravaged upon each other, pinning and suckling in delight, exploring as they deemed accessible. As this went on, it goes without saying that Smith's love for the tiger had grown into full bloom. It was, without a doubt, something that he yearned for within all his years of being single. This meant something to him... this man was more than just a one time show at gym and he fairly hopes, if destiny allows, he would reciprocate in return.

Speedy was the first to pry himself away from the male and as he did so, a bridge of saliva connected between both lips. "You've had kissing lessons?"

And he's funny with jokes too.

"I think not." Smith pulled back an inch.

"That... actually made a big spark."

"Oh? A spark?"

"Yeah... a spark..." He gulped.

"Perhaps... you would like to try more than just... kissing?" Smith sat on the tiger's lap and grinded his butt against him.

"Mmm... we are at work. I don't think we should be doing this."

The sensual tiger grinded against his lap even harder and dexterous fingers began to unbutton the first piece of restriction that exists between them. Another button popped over and from his vantage point, Smith could clearly see the layout of his muscles. Even on their short introduction, he was able to savour the male's masculine existence at an acceptable range but this was completely different. As of now, Smith could actually touch and caress that barreled chest that belonged to a certain tiger. From afar, he knew the power that withheld in those sinewy muscles but at this range, his theory was clearly proven.

Pop goes another button and followed by another, revealing the man's powerful chest and nipples, reveled in all its glory. Speedy waited with bated breath at the man's next move. All kind of thoughts ran through his mind and in all honesty, this wasn't the right place to perform such activities. It should be in the confines of their own sacred sanctuary, not in a place where business activities were undergone.

As hard as it was to pull the eager tiger away, Speedy had to put his foot down and pried him away. "I'd love to continue what we're doing but I think its best that we continue this someplace else or another time. Perhaps tonight? Dinner? My treat."

Smith chuckled for a minute. "Is that a date?"

"Mmm... since you put it that way. Yeah, a date."

He laughed in amusement. "That's actually kinda nice." Arms wrapped around the bulkier male's body.

They held on to each other, no words were exchanged but sooner or later, somebody might just come knocking in. Despite Speedy's worrying thoughts, he had far more important things to care off. "Smith, if I may ask, could you please fill me in details on what your findings are in this company? It would make my work easier."

Sighing over at those words, Smith felt defeated. "Does it really matter? Regardless of what happens, I'll be at the losing end."

"Please, tell me. I may be able to help you." Speedy encouraged while stroking over at his forehead. "There is always another way around situations like this."

"But... my life... is on the line..."

Pulling the tiger over, Smith was placed upright as he was leaned against his chest, purring at his warmth. "Do not worry. I've got connections and believe me when I say you'll be safe under my care."

The other tiger closed his eyes, imagined the worse that could happen to him if he disobeyed the wolf. Shaun may be new to the company but somehow or rather, he managed to pull his strings right under his nose. This ends now. "Alright... It's easy. I'm sure the name Shaun rings a bell, no?"

"Yes, he's the CEO of this company. He's responsible for the daily running of the management."

"He's the main culprit along with a few others. The reports of the financial statement are rigged as accounting rules and standards are manipulated. If I'm not mistaken, a few rules were interconnected between one another. Examples, property, plant and equipment were wrongly impaired through unknown sources and many of these assets are placed under the wrong category on purpose. Assets should be assets but they were not depreciated. Under rules of assets, they should be but Shaun changed that entirely. Depreciation was not charged and things went haywire... until today that is."

"Let me guess, under professional words, you're saying that IAS 16 should be charged deprecation but wasn't. IAS 36 was charged on the account of faulty reports and IFRS 5 of assets is purposely placed under held for sale. Is that right?"

"Yeah, pretty much it." Smith blushed heavily at his vast knowledge. Not only was he a hunk to adore and worship but a man that comes along with brains..

"I think things would work out as it should be. These reports should have evidence based on your words and once I've found them, it won't be long before Shaun gets the boot and jailed for life."

"But..." the tiger shot in. "I'm... suppose to bail him out from this. I'm supposed to change the reports and make it look as if these evidences were around for a long time. I need to make them now."

Speedy shook his head. "No, you will do no such thing. My team is the expert and these loopholes are actually common."

"But! Shaun is about to two time his team! He could have transferred their exercise share of prices as we speak! The company's profits would have been in his account by now because the stock market has already started trading. Things are on the move now, there is no turning back."

"Yes there is," Speedy carried the tiger on to his feet. "You will go to your office, prepare all of the previous year's transaction and reports and bring them to me. Do not panic. Do not show signs of distress and most importantly..." He placed his forehead against the other. "Stay safe. You have no idea how dangerous you've gotten yourself in to. I've seen cases where the FBI had to intervene and it wasn't pretty. Blood were shed and some had near death experience. Stay safe."

Those were his last words. The tiger took his paw and gave a soft kiss on to the back. He smiled, nodded and went off. In the end, Smith was left alone to think about himself. Am I... really going to be alright?


"Oooff!!!" A loud and heavy thud slammed against the concrete wall.

"Richard!!!" The cries of a female shrieked through the room, holding on to the marsupial.

"Clarice..." Richard held on to the vixen's paw. "Run... Get out of here..." He coughed.

"No! I love you! Please! Don't go!"


Smith shook with a snap. The melodramatic sound of clock ticking reverberated through the room and the pen on his paw stopped moving. His eyes scrutinized through the four walls as he waited with bated breath for something to happen. Perhaps it was his imagination but his senses kept telling him that something was about to happen; it wasn't a good, at all. Somehow, the tiny voices in his head chorused to leave this place immediately but he couldn't do that. No, not yet; not when Shaun still held the key towards freedom.

He took a sip from the cup of coffee and enthralled himself into the aroma of freshly brewed liquid. This could be his last drink, who knows, a bullet could have whizzed through the window and down he goes. Every single movement caught him off guard and the more he thought about it, the edgier he gets.

It's like standing on a fucking precipice! I do hope that Speedy knows what's he doing, or else I'll be dead meat, literally.

He sighed and shook away that thought. No, he has to focus on his duty. What he needs to do now is to finish the remaining reports and hand them over as soon as possible.


"Stop it!! Please! Stop!" The pleas and cries of a vixen had fallen on deaf ears. She looked at the man standing before her and back to the lover that she thought she would spend the rest of her life with. Richard laid on the ground with her paw over him, practically feeling his life fading away with each breath.

Clarice sobbed and cried as much as she could, try as she might to gain sympathy from two hired assailant. A pair of rhinos looked at each other and turned behind, waiting for their next order from the man who hired them. From the shadows, a tail wagged in between his leg, amused at the spectacle of long lost lovers.

"I will do anything... please..." She begged once more.

"Anything?" Finally, the mysterious man spoke.

"Yes, please anything. He's hurt badly as he is. He needs an ambulance."

"Feh..." The man shrugged it off. "I do not care if he dies or not. All I want to know is would both of you keep your word and not blabber it out to anyone?"

"Yes! Yes we will! I swear!"

"No I will not!!" Richard managed to spat, blood choked around his throat. "As long as I live, I will not let this happen."

He smirked heavily. "You're on the verge of death and yet, you have the gall to speak? Pity... Finish him."

The rhinos nodded and headed over to the beaten man. "Please! Don't! I beg you!" Clarice tried to fight them off but to no avail. Her wails and cries were louder than before but continued to beg for mercy. This wasn't how it was meant to be.

"No. Stop." They were about to pound Richard into pieces of battered meat but stop abruptly. "You know what? Let's make this more interesting. How about..." He came out of the shadows and held a piece of weapon. "Instant death, hrm?"

A wolf licked over at handle of the weapon and grinned maliciously. The instrument of death was held at the paw of Shaun and looked at Clarice nonchalantly. "Boys, perhaps you'd like to see a show?"

The pair of rhinos nodded in obedience and paced backwards a few steps as they allowed for their master to move forward. As he always had on him, Shaun dressed as smart as he could and the suit fitted perfectly upon his frame. Many knew him as the voice of the management when he made changes towards this place and even though he didn't have a large stature, many gave respect to him; perhaps, too much respect. Shuffling his garments in annoyance, he held the gun and offered towards the vixen. "Take."

Clarice tried to comprehend the man's ulterior motive but through her hazed position, she didn't think of much. Instead, she took it off from his paw gently, staring at the weapon as if it was a foreign object.

"It's easy. How do I know that I can take your word for it?" Shaun looked at her. "I mean, you've got nothing to guarantee your safety and there's nothing left for you. The only way to show your loyalty is to prove to me how good you are at taking orders." The wolf placed his paws over to hers, which shook in terror. "Just do it. It's easy. Pull the trigger... and kill him. With him out of the way, we'll have one less problem to be concerned about, no?"

"N-No... I... I love Richard... Don't force it over, please... I've done nothing wrong..."

"Nothing wrong?" He chuckled. "Clarice, my dear dear Clarice. Listen to yourself and think before you speak. You've exploited investor's money. Isn't that criminal enough? The law has stated clearly that money laundering is a crime and in fact, you've already enjoyed the benefits of my devoted plan. How could you say such a thing, hrm?"

"But... I..." She stopped briefly to look towards Richard who clutched at his chest in pain.

"Sweetheart, it doesn't change a thing. Richard was involved in this and we made an oath. If any of this were to leak out, blood will be paid by blood. That was our agreement. You and I know it." A finger pointed over to the marsupial. "He has broken that oath. This is the payment. Go on, shoot him. It's easy."

The marsupial was quick enough to throw a hard kick towards the wolf and he avoided in seconds. Shaun hissed notoriously as he began to lose patience. "Why don't you fucking die." A single punch landed on to Richard's muzzle and he bounced back in pain, colour of crimson blood flowed from the side.

"Arghhh!!" Cries of pain and agony pounded through the room.

"Shoot him, now, Clarice."

"No! I won't!" She screamed, throwing the weapon off.

"Fucking shoot him!" The wolf retrieved it back and placed into both of her paws, grasping them as tight as he could while positioned her fingers over trigger. "Look at him! Shoot him! Kill him!"

"I won't! Don't force me to do this!" Both paws shook violently as her paws trembled in fear.

"Pull the trigger, now. Before I pull it in you." Shaun hissed benevolently.

"STOP!!!"

"Clarice!"

"I order you kill him!"

"NO!!"

"CLARICE!!!"

BAM!!


It was past noon, right after lunch hour and Smith was still within the confines of his office. For the longest time, he had been sitting there, working the entire morning to consolidate whatever figures he might have missed out and filed all the needed evidence to prove him innocent and possibly, reveal the wolf's horrible deeds.

The final punch of his computer was set and the printer began to whirl to life, receiving inputs of information directly from CPU. First page was done and the next came, followed by another and another. Smith smiled to himself for a work well done. For as long as he's worked here, never before had he felt a sense of accomplishment for a job well done. Albeit, it wasn't in his work description to prove a wolf to jail but this was something different.

As he looked over to the device that coughed up pages of important facts, a knock came over. This had the tiger rooted to the ground as his senses heightened significantly. Speedy did warned him about keeping safe and not opening up for anybody. He hoped and prayed that it wasn't Shaun or anybody else but the tiger himself. It has been a stressful day as it is already and he would be grateful that no other problem arises.

He headed to the door. "Who is this?"

The door was rapped once more before a voice spoke over. "It's me, Speedy. I'd like you to meet my team."

It's him! Shit! My workplace is a mess! My printer is still running! I'm out of coffee and... and... and... I AM A MESS! The tiger paused for a moment as he frantically tried to clean himself up.

"Mr. Smith, is everything alright in there?"

The feline tried to pack as quickly as he could to clear at least some clutters and make room for any reviewing. Pieces of unwanted paper were thrown away but most were forcefully pushed into the drawer without remorse. "Coming!"

He ran to the door and unlocked the handle, opening to reveal a few furs standing right at his doorstep. "Uh... hi!"

A large bull stood out like a sore thumb between the remaining three, a large briefcase by the side; that was the first he made eye contact with. Smith blinked for a moment but looked to the side to Speedy smiling back at him. He was happy to actually see his face once more. However, formalities were needed. Seems that there are two others that he had yet to recognize. A small pony stared from below; probably the youngest among them but the other wasn't far behind either. Waving ceremoniously, a raccoon perked up.

"Hi...." Smith waved back again.

"Yes, hello. You've said that already. May we come in, please?" The bull snorted.

"Oh! Yes, right this way please. I'm sorry to keep you waiting." He flustered.

One by one they came in but the raccoon tapped at his arm. "Nice hairdo."

"Wha..?" He tried to look himself at the mirror but Speedy was keen enough to comb for him. From Speedy's vantage point, it seemed that most of his furs were disheveled and apparently, his head had fur sticking out in a mess.

"Working hard, I presume?" Smith blushed at that comment.

"Yeah... sorry about that."

"It's alright. Now, let's get back to work." One last stroke and he was set.

His prior messy table had been cleared off and a few files were placed upon it. Rows after rows of paper were stacked between each other and from the looks of things; this was going to be a hell load of work. Despite knowing those upcoming works, Smith knew that if he wanted to prove himself guilty and gain justice, he was going to earn it.

The hours passed as the five discussed about potential area of risk, indicating a high percentage of highly likely unethical work. Parts of the accounts were dissected piece by piece and each transaction was matched with proper evidence, giving substantial amount of validation that these existed. It was great that Smith was there to vouch for validity but most had significant flaws in them. Many a times, they questioned each other about the prospect of this assets and liabilities being placed under the wrong category and this would in turn create fake profits for the company.

By the time the five had reached towards the end of the last transaction, perhaps it was good to call it a day.


"I have of no use of you. You pulled the trigger, that's all I know." Shaun got up.

"What do you mean I pulled the trigger?! You forced me to do it! You son of a - "

Small thud triumphed over the wails of a nagging woman.

"Thank you," Shaun looked at both rhinos. "Dispose of them. They were giving me a headache."

---

The audit engagement team worked diligently as the bigger picture became far more evident from before. Whatever that was covered by the fog of secrecy had been unveiled but they still couldn't find solid evidence to prove guilty. All of them made their own assumptions but the pony, also known as Alice, made logical answers compared to the five. Each of her thoughts was backed up with another transaction of fraud and it made it easier to dig up more information. Meanwhile, Chamil, the other female raccoon, managed to offset transactions that were supposed to be misleading. As the process goes on, the task of calculations and research were done by Speedy and Largo.

Largo was the larger of them all. Albeit his size was intimidating but surprisingly, he was quite a gentleman. He may look like a bad ass guy but looks can be devastatingly deceiving. The bull kept most of us awake during the wee hours with cups after cups of coffee but in the end, we were at our breaking point. An hour before midnight, all of us decided to continue the next day as soon as the company starts trading again.

However, Smith was a little disappointed with Speedy. He promised for a night out, dinner at a restaurant but here they are, stuck in these four walls that held his office. Furthermore, it was too late for anything else. Speedy knew that disappointing look.

"Hey," he cupped his cheeks. "I'm sorry."

Smith frowned. "It's alright. I knew that this would happen. As they say, work is work. Can't really blame you."

The tiger caressed against his cheek softly, purring at his furry face and whiskers. "Regardless, I'm sorry that I couldn't take you out for dinner tonight. At least we made progress. Sooner or later, this will be over."

"And everything would be back to normal." He sighed.

Speedy frowned back and pulled in for a hug. "No, it won't be. You'll still see me at gym, I'll have to synchronize with your timing, that's pretty much it."

Smith smiled at the male's touch. His body was absolutely perfectly. The contours and frame of those stripped bulk was just perfect for him. Paws ran all over the back and felt powerful muscles flexed at each ridge. If that wasn't enough, Speedy clutched even harder, closing in any gap that ever existed between each other.

They held onto each other, eyes closed, uttering not a single word. As much as Smith wanted to keep it this way, Speedy pulled off and landed a quick peck on his lips. "There's nobody around. My team should be back at their hotel by now. There's only me and you on this floor. Of course, besides the guard and janitor that is."

"Only... us?"

The tiger stifled a guffaw. "Silly! Yes, only you and me."

Smith blushed heavily.

"You know, you're cute when you do that." Speedy proclaimed and proceeded further, pressing his subtle lips upon the other. It took Smith by surprise but that was to be expected since the start of their journey. If he wanted to run away, he could but why would he? Here he stood, facing against the man of his fantasies, possible a respectable male of his age and he's actually kissing him. God... what a kiss...

Each smack felt like total euphoria towards his senses and the more he continued his actions, the harder it was to keep quiet. He tilted his head to the side and Speedy gained better access to his maw. Tongue expertly parted those lips open and began his assault into that warm cavern. Smith had to hold on to the tiger's shoulder for support, afraid of losing his balance because at this moment, nothing else mattered to him. All he wanted was the love of the man in front of him, taking complete control over his body.

As their tongue wrestled for dominance, Smith quickly gave in and allowed for the larger male to explore his inner feelings. Lewd smacks reverberated in the room, tailed by the pheromones of male musk. The scent of lust and sex emanated through the air as it filled the confines, encouraging both tigers to move forward. That, they did.

Speedy growled and hissed slightly, baring his fangs as he yearned for the body and flesh of another male. His paws travelled up to the tiger's chest and began to unbuckle the buttons that held freshly baked meat. Two buttons, third and fourth, exposed the barreled chest of a tiger. Speedy glared and breathed incoherently, inhaling his own musky scent.

"Mine..." He slammed face first on to those huge pecs as he rained it with mouthful of saliva, kissing occasionally as his animalistic instinct kicked in.

"Ungh! Y-Yours..." Smith gasped with head thrown to the back, gripping on his shoulders as hard he could. "Over there... right there."

The tiger obeyed with a grin. "You mean here?" Mouth opened up and suckled upon his sensitive nipples, earning a yelp but didn't care. All he wanted was to make up for the promise that he made this morning. Holding the tiger's waist up, Speedy tried to pleasure him as much as he could. Even though it was far too late to perform any sexual activities, at least he gained the trust and love from his counterpart.

Smith cried out even more, relishing at the other man's action. Straining up in his pants was his throbbing maleness. Fuck! It actually hurt to touch it! His body practically convulsed and quaked under those powerful muscles. All he did was to submit into giving total control and he was set. However, his paws were too bored to be left alone. Snaking down to his zipper, the belt was unbuckled and everything was lost in the moment. His pants dropped to the ground with a soft flop, revealing tented underwear that needed personal attention.

The tiger gasped once more as Speedy continued his rising attack on to both of his nipples. Through his hazed state, he knew that Speedy smelt the arousal emitting from down below. He was proven right when an expected paw came forth and groped against his clothed member. Smith mewed softly.

"Damn that's cute." Speedy licked his lips. "And the package comes in even cuter."

Speedy had had enough of foreplay and wanted to move on further. He looked to the side and saw the clock on the wall: 11:40pm.

Shit!

It was near midnight and they would have to be up by six in the morning if they wanted to get things done; definitely not the right time for a fuck. It took plenty of self restrain to stop from pounding the tiger raw but, perhaps, a simple sex would suffice. Speedy swept the tiger off his feet and held him up with his powerful arms, looking down at the man of a possible mate. Smith yelped at the sudden move but after a second, felt completely safe. Here he was, swept by the man of his dreams.

Speedy smirked and lowered for another bout of kissing. This time, never letting go. Their lips were practically in a deadlock but the tiger knew better than to hold him up for the entire night. Without breaking the kiss of absolute love, he walked towards the side couch and placed the tiger down, still locked in. Once Smith was down and free, the tiger wrapped his arms around Speedy's neck and maintained that posture.

"Mmmm..." They purred in unison.

Once again, Speedy couldn't keep his paws to himself. He just had to explore and touch something to keep their sensual activities in place. His pants were lost in the process and that beautiful bubble butt was raised up in the air. A piece of tiger meat dangled between his thighs and he was far from little. No, he wasn't average either; he was huge. The tip of his cock began dripping pre and landed a few strands on to Smith's own maleness.

"Fuck." Speedy exhaled and inhaled with lust, pressing their noses together. "That was some fucking kiss."

Smith felt the same spark and licked his moist lips. "Fucking kiss? Oh.... I like that thought. Now fuck me."

Speedy shook his head. "No, we can't. You need to rest. If we start fucking, there will be no telling how long it would take. We need to be up early tomorrow. We wouldn't want my team to see both of us naked here in your office, right?"

"Fuck them! I wouldn't care if they saw your cock lodged deep in my ass while we hug arm in arm. I need you to claim me."

Damn this man is horny. Speedy berated to himself.

"I'm sorry but perhaps another time when we're not pressed for time."

"But please! Fuck me..."

"Hush..." He kissed him once more.

As his moans and whines died away, Speedy continued with his plan. Grinding body against body, his hips started gyrating back and forth against Smith's own cock, coating the length with his own pre. Whoever said that tigers were average in size should be damned for life. Speedy was in control, frotting away as his shaft pressed against the other, leaking copiously as his sexual tension were released in such simple activity.

Smith wrapped his paws around the other's waist and began to caress along his frame. The fact that a powerful male was taking over him nearly sent him off the edge but he just had to hold it in. He knew that if he didn't cum from the tiger's ministration, perhaps this could encourage him to fuck for the night. It was a cruel joke but all worth it. His tail hole was practically begging to be fucked and if he didn't get any cock in a few days, it would tighten up and hurt like a bitch when the next fuck came along. The thought of being a virgin against coursed through his mind and leaked another round of pre, mixing them with the tiger's own.

Their members were now slick and coated extensively with each other's pre but Speedy couldn't stop. His own was rock hard and needed release as soon as possible. If that wasn't enough, his muscles were beginning to strain from his position. Staring into Smith's eyes, he felt the love and lust that came along with that vision. That was more than enough to spur for another round of delightful kiss. That, they did.

"Rugg!! Ung... Faster... Don't stop. Please." Smith cried out.

"Getting ready to cum, yeah?" Speedy hissed.

"Fuck... you got that right. Damn it, your cock feels amazing. I can't believe how blinded I was by your stature. You're an amazing hunk and feels fucking good during sex as well."

The tiger laughed and panted at the same time. "I take that as a compliment. Now, be a good boy, and cum for me."

Smith snapped and roared away, pushing his head back to the couch, unveiling the man's most vulnerable area. His neck was exposed for the world and Speedy couldn't tear away from it. His adam's apple moved for a minute when he gulped a mouthful of saliva.

You're just tempting me to want you more. Speedy suckled on his neck abruptly and the tiger screamed like a man in pain. His dexterous tongue lapped away at his fleshly throat, cleaning and pleasuring him at the same time. Smith was on the verge of exploding and that he did.

His massive paws held on to the man's body for support, both eyes clenched tightly, body started to tremble as pleasure coursed through it. Cock throbbed in much needed release and it didn't help to stop his impending explosion when the other tiger's hard member kept rubbing against it. The final blow came when he heard a simple word.

"Cum."

Smith opened up and roared as hard as his lungs could handle. Ropes after ropes of seed came splashing up, the first hitting on to both of their chest while the rest fell weakly. The few spurts of cum were good enough to cover his underbelly and that it did. Speedy looked below with bated breath as he saw the spectacle of his wonderful mate, cumming away like a virile male should. The show ended after a few seconds as the final squirt landed on to his pubic fur, his whole body matted completely with his own seed.

Speedy looked at him with lust implanted upon his cheeks. His eyes were closed completely, enjoying the afterglow that came along and his mouth was left hanging open with tongue lolling out. Fuck, this guy is filled with surprises. If he thought that he was cute before, this expression was priceless. Though, he wanted to comment on how handsome and cute he looked, but the invitation of an open mouth was stronger.

Growling in defeat, the tiger got up and gingerly placed his shaft upon the lips of the other tiger. It was the only way to get a better release. He knew that pawing away was good enough to cover for his release but he had yet to try on that hot mouth of his. Guiding that piece of meat towards a warm cavern, Smith saw the cock and opened up obediently. He was too tired to argue but did as he was told.

"That's it... more tongue... lap it all up." Speedy encouraged further. "You've been a good boy, very good indeed. Mmm... that's the way to suck a mean cock."

The tiger below wanted to giggle at the man's dirty talk but even if he wanted to, he couldn't. With a fat cock lodged in his mouth, moans and cries of lust were the only words muttered out. Smith pursed his lips around the length and began bobbing up and down with whatever remaining strength that he had in him. Suckling with passion and want, he needed to just taste what his man felt like. Was it sweet? Salty? Thick?

"Grr!! You're gonna get a fucking big load! Oh!!" Speedy pinched both of his nipples, further stimulating his senses. Inch by inch disappeared into the tiger's maw and by the last inch; his nose was buried down to the base, Smith not even choking at the slightest.

By the final second, streams of cum poured off from its slit and down to esophagus, nearly drowning the tiger. Smith had to gulp down as much as he could before a few drops escaped from the side, drizzling down his chest. By the fifth spurt, Speedy was sated. His body felt heavy but tried to keep himself up. Smith pulled away and forcefully hugged the larger male down, nuzzling at his chest while purring in comfort. The taste was indescribable. Albeit a bit salty to the taste but it was large and thick at the same time; must be due to those entire protein intake from his diet.

Speedy laughed and hugged at the tiger with glee, enjoying each other as they laid there, relishing in their afterglow. He looked back at him. "Hey, that was great."

"Only great? I thought it was superb." Smith replied.

"Don't kill the mood by being an asshole, okay?"

"Awww... the wittle kitty is grumpy." A finger tickled over chin.

Speedy smiled and gave a quick peck on his lips. "Go rest. You've had your fun. We have work tomorrow."

The tiger nodded back in response and held him tightly, purring into a deep slumber. It has been years that he had another man hold him under his arms. For the longest time, Smith hoped again and again that this would be more than just a one night stand or companionship. He wanted him to be his mate and moreover, wanted to spend the next assignment with him. This hell hole may be rotten and filled with cronies but without them, he wouldn't have met the man of his dreams. However, for now, he hoped, once more, that things would go right.
