Through the Horizon: Healing 2

Ron smiled as he walked to his quarters, a jaunty bounce in his step. After a long day at work, Zander had messaged him and told him that he would come to Ron's rooms tonight to talk of something. The fox smiled and checked his cell phone. It was an older technology, but one that he had modified to be extremely useful in the modern age. He had set up a galactic network within the empire, and all citizens had received one. Communication had become as simple as the click of a button, and as a result, the collection of intelligence and the monitoring of threats had become just as simple.

The scent of jasmine greeted his nose. Looking away from his cell phone, he saw candles alight all over the great room. He grinned as he realized there was a path outlined by the candles with rose petals leading to his bedroom. There were only a very few who were authorized to enter his quarters at will and tho possible that two would have thought to arrange this, he was hoping that only one of those choices had.

He drank in the scent and detected the faint smell of vulpine male arousal. For a change, it was not his own from pawing off and Ron made a bee line along the path to his bedroom door. As he rounded the corner into his bedroom, he saw his fox laying in the fur on top of his bed.

Laying on his tummy, head towards the foot of the bed, Zander looked up and smiled in welcome. Ron took in the scene, arranged just for him and noticed the details. Without clothes, Zander was quite slender with a young appearance about him. Ron also noticed with surprise that Zander was wearing makeup! Nothing heavy or garish mind you but as accents to himself. His lips glistened with lip gloss and there were slight hints of color around his startlingly green eyes. He had tied a small red ribbon into a bow at the tip of his bushy tail and even his paw and toe claws had been painted! Zander blushed slightly and said with a hint of nervousness, "Good evening, my love."

Ron's member hardened in its furry home as he surveyed the fox laying before him. Zander was brushed to sleek perfection and his fur glistened in the candle light. He had tried very hard to make himself as attractive as he could and hoped Ron would accept the present of himself that he was offering.

Ron smiled; he would make love to his fox, and would claim him as his own. Zander blushed more as Ron removed his clothes. He discarded them onto the floor, then stretched his muscles to work out the kinks in his back from work. If tonight went as he hoped, Ron was going to need to be limber and relaxed.

Zander surveyed his lover's body, now revealed to him for the first time. Ron was slightly chubby but still extremely attractive. He had a glow to him that simply lit up the room and Zander was happy to know it was because of him. Ron crawled onto the bed and took his position behind his foxy lover. Zander laughed softly and murred happily as he said, "I was hoping you would take that position. You are much more the stronger male than I and I like it that way . . ."

Zander raised his tail and curled it to the side, offering himself to his love for the first time. Ron crawled over his lover and leaned his head down to nuzzle Zander's ear. He could smell a light perfume there and combined with the scent of arousal and tail glands, it brought him to fully erect and ready.

Ron gently rubbed the tip of his meat against his foxy's pucker, coating it with the pre he was leaking at a heavy rate. Zander moaned loudly as Ron touched him there and gave a shiver as he whimpered softly, "Please? . . . Take me?" Ron gave an aroused growl and pressed gently, parted the ready pucker and slid his meat deep into his foxy's love hole. Ron moaned at his lover's tightness and sucked on the back of Zanders neck. His paw pushed under Zander's chest to find and rub the fox's nipple, causing Zander to let out high pitch moans from the sensations it was bringing him.

Ron hilted in his fox and held that position. In this moment both of their minds swam with pleasure. Nothing mattered except this moment and what their love meant. Ron laid lightly on top of his foxy and began to move his meat in and out of his lover.

Zander moved in counter point in an effort to get as much of his lover in him as was possible. Both shook with pleasure and knew the moment would not last. Ron's knot quickly inflated, threatening to get too big to enter the oh so tight ring of flesh and muscle. Ron took a firm hold of his foxy's shoulders and slid his knot deep into Zander. Zander groaned with pleasure and howled with delight as Ron sank his teeth deep into his shoulder. This was more than just sex, it was a mating ritual. Zander sobbed with joy as both trembled with pleasure. They came together, united in mind, body and desire as the bite and their spilling seed sealed the union.

As their orgasms subsided, Zander smiled through his tears. "Thank you Ron for taking me...I've never belonged to anybody before. And thank you for accepting me as I am. I . . . I have never shared this side of myself with anyone before either, afraid of rejection. I thought that if I was going to give you my love and my body, I should share all that I am with you." Ron smiled thru his own tears of joy and held his mate close as he said gently, "How could I reject such perfection? My love you will never be alone ever again, that is my promise and my vow to you."

Days later, Bane yawned and stretched his tired body. His ship was in orbit around Capital Planet after the trip back. He walked to the transporter room, intending to get back to the city as soon as possible. He had scheduled a meeting with Ron regarding the condition of the city. He smiled brightly as he thought of his night with Seamus. Nights such as that one were much too rare and he intended to have more of them in the future. His foxy had already gone back to the city but Bane had remained behind on board his ship, to get a little more sleep.

Seamus had been eager to get back to the medical department and review the status of things. His energy and spirits renewed, he had several idea's for upgrades to medical technology that he knew would help a lot of people. Bane chuckled to himself as he reflected, Seamus was happy with his role in the government and Ron was content with his role. He had at last made Dasher happy again too and he was quite pleased with himself. He knew he had been distant from Ron and this was one reason he had scheduled the meeting. Bane stepped onto the transporter pad and punched in the destination.

After the usual cycle of his atoms being transported thru space, he appeared on the pad at the reception hall in Accendo City. Security had been beefed up as a result of previous infiltration attempts. Not even he could transport directly into his quarters, office or the meeting room. They had been shielded strongly against it, lest others use it as a way past security to get at him. Bane yawned widely once more and then realized Ron was in the room waiting for him. He smiled at his foxy friend. Ron laughed and teased, "Whats the matter? Big bad wolf sleepy?" Bane laughed and said back, "Yes, I had a rather long and hard night."

Ron smiled and the soft laughter that he had given out less often before now, pleased the wolf. Ron said with a gleam in his eye, "No, Seamus had a long and hard night . . . You had a knotted and cum filled night." Bane blushed a bit at being read so easily but Ron opened his arms to his big and dear friend. Bane stepped forward and hugged his friend tightly, before saying, "Ron, I've missed you, so very much. I'm sorry I've been distant as of late." Ron smiled as he happily hugged back and observed, "Well, I suppose it's a hazard of the job but no worries. If not for us all working hard, none of us would be here for such regrets, no?"

Bane smiled and nodded, seeing there was a difference in the way the fox was carrying himself. Ron chuckled as he saw the way the wolf was studying him and handed Bane a cup of coffee, which the wolf gratefully accepted. Ron then consulted his tablet and said, "Its technically time for our meeting. Would you like it in your new office?" Bane smiled, "I haven't seen the new government building yet." Ron nodded and said, "I didn't think you had. Walk with me and I will take you there."

Bane and Ron walked side by side as Ron continued with the briefing, "We have done a lot to the city while you were away. We have upgraded all city electrical grids to be much more energy efficient. As a result, we have more power in the city to use for whatever we like."

Bane tilted his head as he thought and asked, "I thought we had unlimited power production abilities." Ron nodded to that as he explained, "Well yes your right, however you can only pump so much power through a power grid. Think of it like a water hose; if you put too much pressure on it, it will burst." Bane nodded, "Alright, that makes sense. What about the academy?" Ron chuckled as he reported, "Accendo Academy is up and running. Classes began soon as we had the first building ready and the first class is due to graduate within the year. We are focusing on building up ground forces, as you requested."

Bane nodded pleased and said, "Good because if worse comes to worst, we can always defend against invaders with hand to hand combat." Ron nodded as he continued, "The defense grid is fully online. We have multiple levels in space and on the ground that should keep it from coming to that. The space platforms are all responding and the planetary defenses are at the ready. In fact one of the platforms has already been used." Bane raised his eyebrow and said, "Oh?"

Ron nodded and told Bane, "A scavenger ship was approaching one of our protected planets, probing for resources. It took the ship out on its own with little damage to itself." Bane gave a savage grin as he said "Good! At least we can defend ourselves for now." Ron nodded and smiled back as he said, "Yes we can, we can give as good as we get."

As they continued talking, they walked out of the walkway and into the great hall of the Accendo Government Building. Bane gasped as he looked around. The floors were marble, the walls were stone, and the roof of the reception hall was glass. Bane looked around, stunned at all the splendor. Ron laughed as he said, "Yes, we might have gotten carried away a bit with the bling but it's the capital of an empire so I thought it appropriate. All of our offices are here now and you need a pass to get in." Ron handed Bane his identification card as he said, "All area's now require this to enter them. For you, it will unlock any door in the city. Ours are slightly more restricted."

Above them, the building rose up fifty floors. Ron directed Bane to a private elevator door, where a set of four parade dressed guards stood. Bane looked them over as they stood at attention and observed from the way they held themselves that they were not there for decoration. These were battle trained soldiers and they would take many attackers out before they fell in defense of their Emperor. Bane eyed them more closely, and studied their features. Both were dragons, which was common in the empire. The draconic empire produced the best soldiers in existence. Many of them, looking for a fight, had migrated into the Accendo Empire. Bane had feared that it would cause tension between himself and Talon, but Talon had completely understood. Ron chuckled, "these are just two of the many soldiers that are in your personal guard."

Ron looked at his pad briefly and said, "Each member of the government has an office complex and I took the liberty of hiring a human resources department to deal with all the staffing needs. All candidates are searched and checked. Nothing is being left to chance." Bane gave Ron a proud grin and said, "You have this fully under control Ron and I am well pleased."

Ron blushed at the praise and averred, "Well, I haven't had much else to do. I've acted in your stead here in the city while you were gone. We now have security teams that patrol the city. Citizens are grateful for them, crime has been reduced to almost nothing."

They stepped into the waiting elevator as the guards saluted them and as soon as the doors shut, Ron hit the stop button. He held up the pad, showing the plans of the city and said,"I made changes to the layout too, for security reasons." Bane agreed, "The security of our citizens is first on my agenda." Ron nodded and said, "That too but look. In the entire area of the former Accendo city that had been the submersible section, only government buildings and parks remain." Expanding the view, showed how much the city had grown outwards. Housing had taken up a considerable area as the booming population had required space too. "We have divided the city into sections. For example, this is the governmental district. This entire area is off limits to citizens without an appointment and an escort. We have business districts, housing districts, industrial districts, and more. By doing this we have been able to better organize the city. Construction drones have made building onto the city easy, and we have been able to better utilize an internal transporter system. Overall we have improved the flow of traffic within the city. Also we have left all of the airlocks and even improved them. Should the shields fail and water rush in, there is little risk of flooding. Should one building or section flood it can be sealed off. We have developed worst, case plans. We have also installed more crystal reactors for backup power. We can run most of the city on backup if necessary and pump all of the reactors power into shields and defense."

Ron told Bane, "We can still sink the city below water for additional protection if needed but that portion has to remain your area first." As Bane tried to protest, he was cut off by Ron telling him, "I ran this past Dasher already Bane. He agrees that you ARE that important and you had better get used to the idea. Without you, all this falls apart. We can't risk someone getting to you. Every step you make outside your secure areas, there are hidden guards and snipers constantly on watch. We have a vast network of guards whose job is to protect you, and we can only hope they are able to take out any threat before it gets to you. Besides each of us having a separate building for our departments, Dasher suggested that we also have our living spaces here too. This is the heaviest shielded area of the city, and we can't count on being able to reach this part of the city if we live else where and an attack comes. I have toyed with the idea of an imperial palace. As you see, there is plenty of open areas that are now parks and gardens. In the future, you may decide to let others live here too. For instance, Dasher suggested that Talon be given a building for when he visits you. I had Lucien approve the plans and he seemed quite pleased at the honor shown to the dragon Emperor. Dasher said it would be politically favorable to do this. The dragon's are a proud race and this will show them the regard you hold for them."

Bane looked more carefully at the plans and laughed softly. "Ron you have outdone yourself completely." He hadn't had to do a lick of work or spend the time thinking about all this, yet it was as if his mind had been read. Everything was laid out even better than he had wished and it was all due to his dear friends looking out for him as they shouldered the work to free him. Things were beginning to actually look like it all just might happen in the way he wanted it to! More work than he had hoped for had been done and the heavy load he had been feeling grew lighter.

Ron looked down at the noise and saw Bane's tail was actually wagging! He grinned and hit the release button, sending the elevator upwards. The doors soon opened to the reception hall to his office. Ron had paid this room as much attention as he had everywhere else. The floors were once again marble, and the walls were hardwood. There were chairs along the walls for anybody who needed to wait. A small reception area had been prepared with a replicator and coffee pot. Beside the massive doors to his office sat his new secretary. The desk was made from solid oak, and shone brightly in the glow of the room.

His secretary was sitting at his desk working but looked up and stood as Bane walked in. Bane had been forced to replace his secretary when Black needed him back. The new one was also male, he was a white wolf and his name was David. David smiled as he recognized his boss, gave a deferential bow and said, "Good evening sir, you have no calls as of yet. The daily briefing is awaiting you on your desk and your breakfast is on its way. I ordered you steak and eggs." Bane smiled and said gratefully, "Thank you very much David."

With that, Bane walked into his office and looked around. The roof was glass, as they were on the top floor. There were shutters that could slide closed to block the light when he chose. There were also blast shields hidden artfully away that could snap shut at a moment's notice. The floor was once again marble with hardwood walls. His desk was in the center of the room upon a raised dais. Bane recognized the psychological advantage it gave him and was pleased by the attention to detail it showed. There were also doors on the left and right side of him. He turned to Ron and said with amazement, "This is just too much!"

Ron chuckled as he said, "Nothing is too good for Emperor Bane the first!" Bane gave Ron a sour stare at being called Emperor, then laughed softly as he knew the fox was ribbing him. Ron went on as if not noticing, "This is your main office, the door on the right leads into a lounge area. You can rest and kick your feet back. Its completely private, and you can be in the fur if you so desire. I have included a bed, bathroom and private living area. This entire top floor is yours and yours alone. Your living area is connected through the lounge, and you can also teleport into it should you so desire. You and Seamus are the only two with clearance for that though, aside from your personal guard. For now this is where you will live, and its attached to your work. Later we may build a residential area for all of us, but that can wait. You work hard enough that any chance you have to relax and not be the Emperor, you should take advantage of. Uhm, *cough* Dasher said to tell you he had stocked a full supply of lube in the drawer by your bed."

As the fox blushed slightly, Bane gave a loud belly laugh and patted Ron's shoulder firmly as he got his amusement under control. Bane then said laughingly, "Trust that cheetah to think of THAT!" Ron tried to bite his lip but the chuckles came out anyway and he said, "Yes-s-s, and he said you were free to use it at the next 'staff' meeting." Ron couldn't hold back the laughter and was joined by Bane.

Ron pointed to the door on the left as he said, "That leads to a formal meeting room. Its much like the captain's dining room on board the Accendo, only with more class." Bane walked into the meeting room to check it out for himself. It was a round room, the walls were hardwood, the floor marble, and the table was circular. Bane smile as he walked out and into the open area before the grand table. Its floors were a soft carpet and the walls were hardwood, polished to a luxurious deep glow. Several chairs and couches adorned the walls of the room with a command chair being at the head of the table. Bane tilted his head at it and asked, "Whats the command chair for?" Ron smiled happily and said, "This is my best invention yet. This chair is designed for complete comfort. Its stuffed with memory foam, so its like sitting on a cloud. It completely takes all pressure off your back, has a place designed for your tail and is heated as well as equipped with a massage unit to melt away the tension of the day. It also has a holographic display, that serves as a computer terminal. You can access anything you like from it and this room is also a safe room. The walls are lined with the strongest metal we have in existence, it can be sealed off to be water, gas, biochemical and radiation tight, and it has its own power supply in case of a city wide failure. There is also a self contained water and food supply, just in case. We don't expect you to need to use it long as we would be coming to rescue you at once but Dasher said it is better to plan for everything and never need it, than to need it and not have it."

Bane stood in amazement. It was extremely luxurious and very formidable at the same time. Ron grinned as he told Bane, "I designed such a room for each of the governmental heads too, tho ours are not as ornate or luxurious as this one. I thought Lucian was going to cream himself when he saw his. I tried to design each of them to our personalities."

Bane laughed and took a seat in his command chair, Ron taking one of the seats facing his friend. Out of the window, the city was in full view. Ron happily said as Bane looked out, "It's the best view in the city and its all yours. If you notice, this is the tallest building in all of this part of the city. None of the others will be allowed to be as tall and in fact are 5 stories shorter. You will never have your view blocked by another building. I would have made this one taller but I had to take into account the shields that will raise if we need to submerge the city." Bane beamed and looked to his friend as he exclaimed, "I am so proud of you Ron, I'm almost speechless! This is far and above anything I would have thought of or planned." Ron blushed a bit and said softly but with feeling, "Well, I wanted to take care of you guys. You're my family."

As they talked, Ron's tablet lit up. He looked at it and then asked, "Bane, do you mind if Zander comes in? He wants to see me for a moment?" Bane chuckled, "I know who he is and I don't mind." Ron grinned as he typed in a message and a minute later, the doors opened.

Zander was escorted into the reception hall by David, who shut the doors behind him. Zander froze when he saw Bane, his eyes getting big and his tail tucking up against his legs. The wolf chuckled and said, "Come on in! Two things, first no saluting me or calling me your highness and second, you might want to have somebody look at your shoulder. I think you have injured it." Zander blushed to realize his shoulder was bleeding again. Ron whimpered a bit in realizing he had hurt his fox more than he previously thought. Bane smiled as he looked between the foxes and said, "That's a mate mark, isn't it?"

Ron nodded abashedly as Zander looked scared spit less and Bane laughed, "In that case, I have something that will help." Bane recognized his personal lock box sitting on a shelf and fetched it. He retrieved two items from it and turned to the pair. The first was an elongated box, the second was a tube of cream. He handed the cream to Zander as he said, "This will work miracles. It will heal the wound up while preserving the mark. Seamus and me had a similar problem with our mating. I got a little carried away, so he cooked this up." Zander nodded his thanks, still too awestruck to speak.

Bane pretended not to notice as he said solemnly, "The second item is for both of you." Bane opened the box and pulled out a pair of mateship rings. Holding them out to Ron, he said, "I want you two to have these. They were mine and Scott's. We found his after the explosion when we were combing through the wreckage. The love I shared with him was deep and pure, and I wish the same love for the two of you."

Ron looked stunned, tears forming in his eyes as he shakily reached for them. He fully understood the significance of what Bane had just offered them and the fox couldn't speak, lest he break down and cry like a child. Zander did not know but he could tell from Ron that this was something very serious. Ron hugged his friend tightly and said with much emotion, "Thank you Bane, this means the world to me. Are you sure you don't want his ring? I know what Scott meant to you. " Bane said calmly, "I still have my memories and tho not in quite the same way, I still have Scott. If Zander means to you what Scott did and does to me, then yes. I want you to have them." The two friends stood there in their embrace, all parties having been healed once more. A new beginning was on the horizon for all of them, not as friends but as a family. Bane smiled, he would take his family camping, and he knew the perfect spot!
