It was another cold, quiet night in the rebel camp, most too tired to even talk. Alexei sat around the burning campfire with his arms hugged close to his chest, feeling more uncomfortable than he had in a while. He was sitting beside his boyfriend Jamie, along with his ex-boyfriend Kaelin and his new boyfriend, a Dalmatian known as Connor. There was also a skunk named Lauren with them, and a lioness who seemed good friends with Kaelin, named Arielle.

Alexei grumbled quietly to himself, staring into the flames and lost in thought. It had been well over three years since he had last been on Earth, and after a few days he already wanted to leave. But he knew he couldn't. The Commune had dug in deep, which never would have happened had the lion stayed where he belonged, here on Earth. The lion grumbled again, pinching his face into an even greater frown.

"What's wrong?" Jamie asked him, running a paw up Alexei's mechanical arm.

"Nothing," he simply said, paw gripping onto a red, opalescent pendant dangling from his neck. He wore the pendant under his long-sleeved shirt, beneath his dark hoodie, but gripped it all the same. It had been a gift from Kaelin after they first met close to ten years ago. The pair still remained friends, but despite what they tried to tell themselves, there was always tension between them.

"Y'think this'll ever be over?" asked the skunk, glancing over at Arielle. Everyone looked exhausted, but especially Lauren. He had just recently lost his mate - some Doberman - not more than a week ago.

The lioness just sighed. "I don't know," she replied, glancing back. The two sat close, probably a vain attempt to comfort one another.

Neither one of them are going to make it out of here alive, the lion thought to himself, simply observing the two. He glanced over at Kaelin, but it appeared the kangaroo was lost in his own thoughts too.

For a moment, Alexei thought to read the kangaroo's mind, to figure out just what he was thinking. But he had told himself long ago he would never do that to anyone ever, especially not to Kaelin. Something about invasion of privacy, though sometimes he couldn't help himself. But the people he truly respected, people he generally liked, he would never do it to them. But he sure was tempted.

"Well I'm gonna look for some more firewood," Jamie suddenly proclaimed, paw on Alexei's back as he stood up.

No one except Connor moved to help. "I'll give you a hand," he said quietly, a small modest voice. Alexei frowned at that, too.

And so the two canines were off in search of more firewood, the commodity scarce in whatever ruined city the rebels had found themselves in that night. Perhaps some of the other nearby camps had some to share, the rebel group seeming to grow every day.

With their respective boyfriends gone, a great amount of tension slowly rose around the small campfire. Alexei was a statue before the flames, but it seemed Kaelin couldn't stop shifting about. The skunk and the lioness also sensed it, their discomfort palpable.

"So how did you two meet?" Lauren suddenly blurted out, an obvious attempt to distract from the tension. Kaelin glanced over at Alexei, but Alexei simply clenched his teeth.

"It was ten years ago," sighed the roo, "or near enough, on a subway in the city that's now called Trust. Same city you lived in, isn't it?"

Lauren nodded, then sighed. It was where he had met his mate, too.

Kaelin sighed again, quietly through his nose. "After an altercation on the subway," he continued, "somehow I knew... Well, at the time, I thought we would be mates forever. It actually ended up being a long time after that when we were finally able to be together, but the wait was damn worth it."

Alexei grumbled quietly to himself.

"What about you and Jake?" the roo reciprocated, sounding wary as he said it.

Laruen began to blush and had a stupid smile on his face. "Well, we met at a Greyhound station, except he was a total jerk and I hated him. But I guess after the Aknar attack, we sorta became attached. Had to work together to survive, y'know? It wasn't easy, but...well, I've never hated someone so passionately before, and our love was just as great."

Kaelin smiled too, trying hard to ignore Alexei and his constant grumbling and frowning. But it was quickly starting to grate on him.

"What about Connor? Where did you guys meet? Here on Earth I take it?"

"Yeah," replied Kaelin, twisting a ring on his thumb. The ring had been a gift from Connor, given to him over a year before the Aknar had attacked the planet. Things were simpler then. "We met in a small town east of Trust, at the hostel there. We were both travellers, I guess you'd say, though he hadn't been nearly as far as I had. He was just starting off, having left his job less than a month before. He was, um..." Kaelin started to blush. "I'm not sure if I should be saying this, but he used to strip, if you can believe it. I mean, before he travelled."

Lauren looked surprised, and it got a quick smirk from Arielle.

Alexei just scoffed, which awarded him a nasty look from Kaelin. "Oh, do you disapprove?" he asked the lion facetiously, irritated.

The lion grumbled incoherently.

"No, go on, say it. Tell me what's on your mind."

"You don't want to hear it," growled Alexei, his tone leaving little room for argument.

Kaelin continued to frown at the lion, expecting more.

"He's not exactly your type," Alexei finally said, still staring into the fire. The tension rose quickly from there, enough to make Lauren debate leaving.

"Oh, and just what is my 'type?' An incessant cry baby like what you've managed to wrangle?"

Alexei flashed his teeth and finally shot Kaelin a wicked glance. "Fuck you," he snarled, paws clenched into fists. "He's been a hell of a lot more loyal than you have in the few years I've known him."

For a moment Kaelin just stared at Alexei with his mouth agape, unable to find his words, paw tight against his chest. "I have been nothing but loyal to you, Alexei. I have spent so much of my life completely dedicated to you, even when you weren't here, when you were off fighting some god damn space battles. When you were up there making love to Kavhen, I was back here praying to God, for fuck's sake, that you would return to me. So don't you dare call my loyalty into question."

"You broke up with me."

"You fucking stabbed me through the heart!" Kaelin shouted, now standing up. Alexei stood too, both their paws tight fists, both breathing heavily. Lauren was surprised at how quickly this had escalated. "I stood by you as your life came apart, I risked and gave up so much because I loved you, and you killed me. I don't know what divine miracle brought me back, but I knew all the trust I had given you, it was worthless. You're a monster, Alexei, a ticking time bomb. It's just a matter of time before you go off again."

"You have no fucking idea what I've been through in my life, Kaelin, so you can just fuck right off with that monster shit again."

The kangaroo scoffed. "The whole entire planet should be giving you one big 'fuck off.' You're supposed to be Earth's protector, but so far as I can see you've done a pretty shitty job of it, and now look at the massive mess we're all stuck in."

Alexei growled deep and stepped closer to Kaelin, looking like he was about ready to punch him in the face. "Don't you try to blame all of this on me, Kaelin. I'm just one god-damned fur, and frankly I've done a hell of a lot more for this damn planet that you ever have. So fuck you."

Now Kaelin growled. "You've done nothing for this planet! Only times you've defended an alien attack it's because they've been searching for you. But when the Earth actually needs you, where the hell are you? Off gallivanting through the galaxy with that Shepherd."

"I never wanted these powers! I never asked to be 'Earth's protector.' All of this fell on me because that god-forsaken husky couldn't do the job himself. Who really knows how far back through my family line these powers go. So get off your fucking high horse, Kaelin."

Kaelin tensed the muscles in his arms as if he was about to hit the lion, but neither made a move. They just stared at each other, horrible gazes from them both. They growled at one another as if finishing their argument silently.

"My life would have been so much better off had I never met you, Alexei. Any semblance of order that I had, you managed to destroy."

Alexei's paws were shaking, the rage clear in his eyes. His jaw was clenched tight, and he had to resist every urge telling him to attack. "Fuck you, Kaelin. Fuck you."

At last the pair managed to pull away from each other, both marching off in opposite directions.

Enraged, Alexei smashed through the door of an abandoned building and began to roar furiously, destroying everything inside. Tables, cabinets, furniture and glass, all demolished by Alexei's paws, but still the lion wasn't done. He punched his fist through a wall, tearing it apart with a blast of dark, mental energy, a part of his amazing telekinetic powers. For a good long while Alexei raged, now back into the street where the cool air nipped at the tears that had been streaming down his face, as well as the blood on his right fist.

"God fucking damn you," he said aloud, walking further away from the camps. He wasn't sure where Jamie and Connor had gone off to, but he hoped he wouldn't see them. He was glad they hadn't been there to see his fight with Kaelin, the last in dozens.

Well into the city now, Alexei was just starting to feel calm. Most of the downtown area looked in fairly good shape, though some of the larger buildings had collapsed. Eventually the lion came upon a dried up fountain in the centre of downtown, the statue in the centre having no doubt fallen over long before the rebels had showed up. Bathed in moonlight, Alexei couldn't help but sigh and look up at the stars, curious exactly which one he had left to come here.

"You want to go back, don't you," said a voice from behind. It was Kaelin, and it still sounded a little angry.

Alexei just grunted, grinding his teeth.

"I didn't mean to be so harsh back there," the roo admitted, taking a seat along the fountain's edge with Alexei. He sighed heavily. "But I still meant what I said."

"What did you expect me to do?" Alexei began, paws dangling between his knees. He stared at the cracked sidewalk in front of him, not yet brave enough to venture a look at Kaelin. "I loved you more than anything in the world, my first real love, and I was forced away from you. I had no one up there, no one to comfort me or console me, no one to love me. What the hell did you expect?"

"Well I managed," growled Kaelin. "I never once laid paws on another fur in the entire time you were up there."

"Then I guess you're a stronger fur than I am."

A long pause filled the cool night air; a raging silence.

"I don't blame you for Jamie," Kaelin eventually said, "I really don't. I had broken up with you, and for good reason. But before that, I had put far more trust in you than you deserved."

Alexei didn't say anything, knowing the roo wasn't wrong. His ears were drawn back and thoughts of regret flashed through his mind as if these wounds were all still fresh. In space, while he had never forgotten his love, a new one had quickly been forming between himself and a Lumarian named Kavhen, until they consummated their love surrounded by the cosmos.

The two sighed loudly, glancing away and suddenly feeling very cold.

"We never used to fight," mused the kangaroo, a hint of happiness bouncing off his words as he remembered the old days. "No matter what happened, no matter the struggle, you were my only constant."

Alexei made no comment, but continued to stare at the cracked cement.

"Tell me, why him? Why Jamie? He's... Well, he's not your type, Alexei, you and I both know it."

Alexei growled quietly; he wasn't about to mention Connor again. "I know he can be...emotional, sometimes extremely so. I know he worries too much about stupid stuff, and I know he's far more touchy-feely than anyone else I had ever been with, and I admit I don't always like it. But he was there, Kaelin. Every god-damn day, he was there. Albeit serving me coffee, but he was there."

"That's it? Because he was available? Because he had a crush on you?"

The two had argued before about Connor, only once before this night. Apparently the dog made Kaelin laugh when it seemed there was no humour left in the world. It was what the roo needed, to hear him tell it. The dog was soft, warm. He needed someone as much as Kaelin did, and being fresh out of a job he needed someone with travelling experience. Alexei wasn't sure what Kaelin needed from the dog; perhaps nothing more than companionship. Perhaps someone to make him forget, perhaps to let him think he could have a normal life again.

But of course the Aknarii reminded the roo that he could never go back to a "normal life," that no matter who he was with, Alexei was still out in space; and so was the Commune, and the Lumarians, and any other alien species he had not yet had the pleasure of meeting. But that only brought the pair closer together, much like the attack had brought Lauren and Jake together.

Alexei sighed, still not looking at the kangaroo. "After we broke up, I tried to call you. Again and again I tried, but you never picked up. I guess you were gone, travelling again. And I was...lost. I fell into a dark, horrible pit so much deeper than you can possibly imagine. And I was held there for over half a year before I met Jamie. I didn't even know his name at first, he was just some distraction. And he was so unlike you, I suppose it was the sort of change I needed to help me out of the darkness that I had found myself in. At least until the Commune attacked me."

Kaelin was shaking his head, which made the lion finally look over. Their gazes didn't meet, but Alexei frowned anyway. "What?"

"You have absolutely no idea how hard it was to let you go, Alexei. No clue at all." Tears had formed in Kaelin's eyes. "Maybe you didn't know just how much I loved you."

The lion suppressed a growl.

"I gave you all my trust, everything that I had, everything that I was, and you...struck me down."

"God damn it, Kaelin, you know that wasn't me! We've been over this... You know it was that fucked up, ancient demon shit. I don't know what exactly the hell it was, but I know there's some fucked up connection between it and my powers, and the damn thing had a hold of me. I was not myself. I was a monster, and it was me. And you know that."

Kaelin shook his head again. "I know, Alexei, I know. I...I understand that. But Jesus Christ, you fucking killed me. My love, my mate, the one fur I used to think I was going to spend the rest of my life with, he stabbed me in the chest. How the hell did you think I would react? Did you think I could just let that go and continue being near you?"

The two had had this argument before, too, but Alexei was smart enough now to stop himself from yelling and taking it further than it needed to go. And so he just breathed heavily through his maw and turned away, metal paw gripping the concrete edge of the fountain beneath him. His flesh paw gripped at the red pendant beneath his shirt, hard enough to make his knuckles crack.

"None of this was ever supposed to happen," growled the lion. "I had to watch as I tore you down, powerless to stop it. I know I betrayed you, betrayed your trust and your love... I don't deserve to ever feel love again for what I did to you. But...try to imagine what that was like for me, too."

Kaelin didn't say anything, instead he shifted about uncomfortably. Both furs were close to tears.

"I loved you as much as any one person can possibly love another. More than that. You made me feel like I didn't always have to keep running, like there was some sort of warm light at the end of my dark, lonely tunnel. You made me want to keep living, to fight with every last ounce of strength I had in order to survive, just so we could be together. And then I had to watch myself from within my own body as my own paws took you and stabbed you straight through the heart. Your blood stained my fur forever, and as the life faded from your beautiful eyes, I could do nothing to prevent it, nothing to help. And then you were gone, taken by my own hands and all I could do was watch. How the fuck do you think I felt after that?"

Kaelin didn't say anything for a long, long time, and neither did Alexei.

"We were stupid for thinking we could be friends after something like that," Alexei said softly, staring down at his own paws. They were clean, and yet he still felt the roo's blood all over them. When the lion heard the rustling of Kaelin's clothes as he shifted about, he was surprised to feel him sit less than a foot away, still along the fountain's edge.

"Perhaps we were," Kaelin replied quietly. "But...perhaps we're both yet to forgive each other."

Alexei's heart skipped a beat when he felt an extremely warm paw streak across his metal arm, the sensations dulled by the clunky prosthetic and yet it was undeniably there. With blush across his face he looked over with surprise.

"Kaelin... We can't do this. Not...not like this."

Kaelin didn't let go, stubborn as always.

Plenty warm now, Alexei's heart began to beat faster. "You have nothing that needs forgiving, Kaelin."

Kaelin shifted closer until they sat right next to each other, their legs touching. For now the roo just held Alexei's metal paw with both of his, his own heart racing. "I was given a second chance at life, perhaps a chance to reconcile. But I ran. I was afraid of you, and so I ran."

Alexei couldn't help but grip onto Kaelin's paw, squeezing tightly. It had been so long since he last felt the roo's strong paws. "I don't blame you, Kaelin, I don't. I... You're right, I know you are. I betrayed your trust, and though it was painful for me too, you're not the one who needs forgiving. You did what any reasonable person would do. I...I need you to forgive me, Kaelin. I don't deserve it, I know, but I think the only way I can live with myself, and perhaps for either of us to ever live in some kind of harmony, is...is if you're able to forgive me."

Kaelin laughed quietly through his nose, gripping onto the lion's metal arm. "It's not an easy thing to do, Alexei."

"I know."

The kangaroo then rested his head on Alexei's shoulder and pulled himself as close as he could get. "I've missed this so much over the years," he said, "far more than I would have ever admitted. I tried to be strong, tried to tell myself you and I could still be good friends, even with Connor and Jamie around. I tried to be happy for you, happy that you had finally found someone, but the truth is I was insane with jealousy."

Alexei was genuinely surprised to hear the roo admit that, having sensed no hints in the time since they'd broken up. "I don't hate Connor," Alexei said with ears back, "but I still think he's a terrible match for you."

This time Kaelin couldn't help but laugh, the sound echoing off the empty buildings.

The two continued to sit close to one another beneath the moonlight of the abandoned city, sharing their warmth as their paws quickly became more active. Neither said a word, but instead let their actions speak for them.

Kaelin, always the more adventurous of the pair, reached his paw over and wormed his digits up the bottom of Alexei's half-zipped hoodie, rolling his fingers through the soft fur of the lion's abs. He found a scar quickly, and gently scratched it with his claws.

"God damn," grunted Alexei, nearly forgetting what that felt like. For as much as he loved Jamie, only Kaelin had ever known just how to touch him. But of course, no one loved Alexei's scars quite as much as Kaelin did. The lion just growled softly as he felt the roo's fingers trace up the large scar across his belly, then eventually to his chest, though the hoodie constricted Kaelin's movements.

"W-We shouldn't," huffed the lion, flesh paw gripping Kaelin's wrist. "This is insane..."

Kaelin sighed heavily, retracting his paw and slumping forward, somewhat deflated. His paws were shaking slightly, but he cradled them together in an attempt to hide it. The roo shifted uncomfortably a few times, looking at the same crack in the pavement Alexei had been staring at before. At last he gave another small sigh, then glanced at the lion.

"You need to understand something first and foremost," Kaelin started, paws still shaking. "These powers and all the horrors inflicted upon you and this world, and the Commune attacks and your family; everything that you have had to endure, it isn't your fault, okay? And yes, I know it wasn't your fault that you killed me either, not truly... But I guess at the time, I thought our love would have been strong enough to break you from that spell, or whatever it was that held you. I thought that when our eyes met, you would overcome that great evil and we would survive."

Alexei looked ashamed, cheeks burning red. He turned away from his ex with ears flattened against his mane, and he remained deathly quiet. He could feel his heart pounding hard against his chest as if it was about to burst, fraught once more by the guilt of his past deeds and all the blood he'd shed and the pain he'd caused; he had tried to forget many times, but the memories were always seared in his mind. And yet most of all, Alexei still burned with the guilt of having killed his only truelove; somehow their love had not been enough, which tore at the lion mercilessly.

"Alexei... You scared me more than I've ever been scared, rattled my trust like you cannot believe. But...I'd be lying if I said you weren't in my thoughts every single day since I broke up with you, and I've had plenty of time to think on that. Xavier helped me through a lot of it, gave me some understanding into your powers. After we rescued you, even Alyster gave me something to think about on the shuttle home, and Connor helped too. And even though everything I thought we needed to make our love last had been torn apart...I'm ready to forgive you, Alexei, truly I am. I'm more than ready. But you need to forgive yourself, too."

Still with his ears drawn back, the lion finally glanced up at his ex, heart pounding. He wasn't sure what to say.

Yet Kaelin just smiled warmly at him, paw on his shoulder. His beautiful blue eyes were asking for a response, though he remained silent.

"I don't know," Alexei said at last, shaking his head.

"Well when I tried to call you in those weeks before the Commune subdued you, that was when I realized, despite being with Connor, I wasn't able to live my life without you. I had done a lot of thinking then, and I realized that I needed you with me, whether it was purely platonic or not. And that was really when I was able to start looking past what had happened, and eventually I was able to forgive you. I had been given lots of advice which helped reinforce my decision."

The lion glanced away for a moment, then sighed through his nose. "Sometimes it isn't easy to forgive someone for the things they've done, but I think it's even harder to forgive oneself," said Alexei solemnly, looking at his blood-stained paws again. "When I was taken again, all I could think of was you. I guess you gave me some sorta strength or something, like how you used to when we were in a tight spot. I still had something to live for, and though Jamie was still with me, you were the one I thought of most. Because the thought of living my life without you was unbearable. I'm not sure if I can forgive myself for what I did to you, but the fact you were able to makes me think...maybe I can. Eventually."

The two just sighed heavily in unison, sitting close together once more.

This time it was Alexei's turn to shift uncomfortably. "I..."

Kaelin glanced over.

"I still love you, Kaelin."

Kaelin smiled and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around the lion's waist and pulling himself in as much as he could. His paws travelled beneath Alexei's hoodie and he felt another scar beneath his pads. The roo moved his lips close to Alexei's ears and said very softly, "I still love you too."

A smile flickered onto the lion's face as he turned his head, and in moments the two found themselves nose-to-nose. Alexei's heart skipped a beat, but he refused to move and thankfully Kaelin did the same. He soon found some mysterious force drawing their lips together, until before he knew it they were sharing a very long, deeply satisfying kiss. Alexei made a slight noise as an excited chill ran up his spine, their tongues pressing together and showing no signs of stopping.

The lion tilted his head and leaned forward, pushing deeper into the kangaroo's maw whilst his metal paw held the roo by his cheek. The pair was quickly becoming more animated, and Alexei was already halfway to rock hard as his tongue went in again and slid against Kaelin's, feeling the hardness of the roo's tongue stud. He had always loved Kaelin's tongue stud.

Soon enough, though, the kiss ended, both furs blushing furiously. Alexei was breathing heavily, heart pounding away as he contemplated what had just happened. They had broken up long ago, and yet... Alexei knew Jamie would be waiting back at camp for him, and Connor for Kaelin. But he felt so deliriously good, his body was begging him to continue. Perhaps just one more kiss...

"Should we really be doing this?" huffed Kaelin, despite the fact he'd been tracing Alexei's scars earlier with his claws.

"I don't know," panted the lion, though he wanted it bad. His flesh paw quickly found its way up to Kaelin's leg, running up his inner thigh. Neither made a move to stop it. "I just know I've wanted this for a long time, Kaelin. All of this. All of you. Your piercings, your voice, your smell. Everything."

Kaelin laughed. He had lost count of the number of piercings now, but of course he remembered Alexei loved every one of them.

"How many is it now?" asked the lion anyway. "I see you have two in your lip now, one in your nose. Three in each eyebrow and five...what are those called again?"

"Industrials," blushed the roo.

"Oh right. And I see you still have those rainbow ones in your right ear. Are the two on the other side new?"

"Relatively. I don't suppose you've gotten one yet, have you?"

Alexei shook his head, then with his right paw he moved up past Kaelin's crotch and rubbed softly at his navel, feeling the metal stud therein. "You still have that, I see," smiled Alexei. Then his paw continued upward, gently rubbing Kaelin's right nipple. He blushed when the roo moaned quietly, then a bit more when he felt the ring. His paw quickly moved to the other, brushing the flesh gently but giving the left ring a firm tug. "Right where I remember these two being."

"There are a couple more you don't yet know about," said the roo with a devious smile. He took the lion's paw and slowly led it downward, past his navel and to his belt. "But you may have to go exploring for them first."

Alexei was rock solid by that point, lust strong in his eyes. He was breathing heavily and wanted the roo more than ever. It had been far too long since they had last fucked, and by now no force in the galaxy was going to stop this. He took the roo by the wrist suddenly and stood up.

"C'mon," said the lion, pulling Kaelin from the fountain. His hard sheath was noticeable from beneath his baggy pants.

"Seriously?" Kaelin giggled, leaping up with a warm blush smeared across his face.

Alexei nodded with a small smile and led Kaelin across the street toward the old mall. Though the doors were all locked, the glass had long since shattered and the pair got through easily. They padded quickly through the quiet, empty mall, passing by dozens of stores and shops that had been raided long ago. Almost none of them were familiar to Alexei, but then again he hadn't stepped into a mall since before he met Kaelin.

Eventually the two found themselves in some department store at the opposite end of the mall, laughing as they pushed their way through racks of old clothes, both trying to kiss each other as they moved. They stumbled and tripped over each other and banged into things as their maws locked and they made love in men's apparel, until eventually one of them lost their footing and the pair fell with a loud thud to the carpeted floor.

Both were laughing heartily now and breathing heavily, Kaelin on top of Alexei. Surrounded by the fashion of three years ago, their eyes met and slowly their lips came together. Alexei's tail stopped flicking as their tongues met once more, the lion groaning softly. When their kiss broke, his tail resumed its flicking and both were still breathing quite hard. A powerful lust filled their eyes and they kissed again, slower and deeper this time.

Alexei moaned quietly as he tilted his head to accommodate his ex-boyfriend's maw, tongue smeared against the roo's. Again and again he felt that hard tongue stud, something he would never tire of. Perhaps he could convince Jamie to get one...

Suddenly a sharp moan from Kaelin broke the kiss prematurely, but he just huffed and went in again, paw stroking at Alexei's cheek as his shaft threatened to tear a new hole in his pants. He was blushing heavily, something he hadn't done in a while, and had to stop himself from simply tearing off the lion's clothes. Both wanted this so badly, but they had to savour it, they knew.

"Ungh, fuck," groaned Alexei, both paws around Kaelin's shoulders. He was blushing as much as Kaelin, and was probably just as hard. It took all his amazing powers and abilities to not turn the roo around and do what he wanted to do. Instead he pushed his hips up into Kaelin's, moaning as the hard lumps in their pants collided. Together they ground their bits together, huffing and puffing and groaning whilst they kissed each other some more.

Alexei rolled his paws down off Kaelin's shoulders as they made love, grazing them along the roo's fit and slender sides until he found the edge of his shirt. With deft paws, the lion managed to crawl his fingers under and begin to pull the loose tank top upward, all while still making out with his ex and making a hell of a muffled noise in the process. His fingers gently caressed the kangaroo's fur as he slowly worked the shirt off, until eventually the two stopped kissing and Kaelin removed the tank entirely, tossing it aside.

"You know you could probably find a new one somewhere in here," Alexei remarked, glancing at the filthy, hole-ridden garment. It looked at least a year old now, and had seen much wear and even greater tear.

Kaelin just scoffed, nose bumping into Alexei's. "Speak for yourself. At least it fits me properly."

Alexei ignored that and just let his paws roam back up Kaelin's body, taking in every curve and bump as the roo's dirty fur flicked through his fingers. A thought flashed through the lion's mind, a sudden urge to have a swim with his ex. But it seemed doubtful there was a clean pool nearby, much less a lake or a pond. This department store would have to do.

"Mmm," groaned Kaelin, holding a paw to Alexei's metal claw. "I never knew how much I would miss the touch of this thing."

Alexei was never particularly fond of his mechanical prosthetic, though he had learned to live with it many years ago. Kaelin had always seemed to like it though, despite it was always cold and frankly, about as ugly as prosthetics get.

Without saying anything, the lion just smiled softly and ran his metal, three-fingered paw up over Kaelin's abs and to his chest, running his fingers through his fur. As Kaelin blushed and released the paw, Alexei flicked the tips at the kangaroo's nipples, which he seemed to enjoy immensely. Alexei lightly pinched and twisted and otherwise felt up the small, now hard pieces of flesh, rubbing them carefully afterward.

"God damn it, Alexei," Kaelin moaned, grinding his hips subtly. This savouring wasn't going to last much longer.

Kaelin's paws now rested upon Alexei's chest as he ground his rear into the lion's crotch, mouth agape as small noises that possibly resembled groans squeezed out. He gripped at Alexei's hoodie and moaned a bit harder, the lion still playing mercilessly with his nipples. This had always been a big turn on for the roo, and Alexei had always known how to do it just right. Kaelin wasn't sure how much longer he could last, especially since all Alexei seemed to be using was that damnable metal paw, cold and hard and somehow incredibly sexy.

Soon enough, Kaelin found his paws fiddling with the zipper of Alexei's hoodie. He didn't realize until zipping it half way down, he had no idea how Alexei had gotten his tops on, as this metal appendage was a permanent fixture upon his body. Nevertheless, he unzipped the hoodie all the way and ran his paws up under the horizontally-striped shirt beneath. Even it was at least a size too big for the lion, and unlike the hoodie it was long-sleeved.

Alexei groaned hard as the roo's paws ran up his stomach and chest, and he couldn't help but push his hips up into Kaelin's rear. He hadn't had sex like this in a while, so passionate and strong. But like the roo, he had to control himself; he wanted this to last as long as possible, the whole night if he could. It was dangerous, he knew, especially with their respective boyfriends somewhere around camp, but not even he could stop this now.

"Okay, Alexei," Kaelin groaned, letting out a long, horny breath. "You've got to explain how the hell you got your clothes on with that ugly metal arm still attached to you."

Alexei suddenly realized, Kaelin had left Lumar's space station only days after Alyster's operation. In fact, the roo hadn't even told the lion he was leaving, which they had fought about shortly after the lion's arrival back on Earth. He blushed a little as his paw reached over and felt at where his fleshy arm turned into metal. "I guess Alsyter didn't tell you."

"Tell me what..?" Kaelin cocked his head.

The lion felt around his bicep, around where the flesh and steel began to intertwine. There was an artificial nerve there that he hadn't quite gotten used to triggering on his own. So for now Alexei pressed into it and with a hard snap, his body released the metal arm. His nerves and muscles buzzed as the prosthetic slid off, and once it was released the lion let out a long sigh, letting the arm drop. He smiled as Kaelin gazed in awe of this seemingly new ability.

"Holy shit," the kangaroo said, staring at the dead, metal arm. The stump left behind on Alexei had only a few small pins sticking out and many holes for the arm to slide into, and its around edge was covered by fur. Kaelin couldn't help but feel Alexei's half bicep and metallic cap. "When did this happen?"

"Shortly before you left," blushed the lion. "Alyster had been working on it for a long time, after the Aknar mothership was docked there long before their arrival on Earth. Had I known they planned to attack, they never would have left Lumar's system."

"You had no way of knowing, Alexei."

The lion knew this, and yet he still felt ashamed.

"That's amazing," Kaelin said, still fingering the end of Alexei's arm. He smiled and returned his gaze to the lion's deep red eyes and the scar upon his face. He gently ran a finger down the scar and kissed Alexei deeply.

Alexei held his flesh paw to Kaelin's hip, while his left arm made the motions as if the prosthetic was still there. He moaned softly and felt up the roo's ribs, then down again as his hips once more ground up into Kaelin's rear, and their tongues met eagerly.

Kaelin, sitting upon the lion, couldn't help but lift his tail and push down onto the hard lump gnashing into him. His paws cupped Alexei's face as they kissed, deeper and deeper and more passionately, their heads tilted and both made a substantial amount of moans and groans, and even a few growls.

Alexei was as hard as ever, claws protracted into Kaelin's flesh as he pushed upward even harder. He ran his claws up and down the kangaroo's sides, which caused the roo to moan hoarsely and push his tongue forward again. Their tongues danced together, maws locked in rapture.

As they made love, Kaelin slowly and somewhat awkwardly began to remove Alexei's dark, short-sleeved hoodie, and the lion did what he could to worm out of it. Though the kiss had to break several times, eventually the large garment was removed and thrown to the side, and once more the roo felt up Alexei's abs.

The lion flexed as he felt Kaelin's rough paws upon his belly, groaning hard in the moment their maws were separate, but soon they were locked together again. The roo twisted his hips downward as his claws traced the large scars, moaning as his tongue connected with Alexei's. The pair, though somewhat awkward at first, now made love as if the breakup had never happened, both lost in the throes of ecstasy.

Though Kaelin loved touching Alexei's scars, soon enough he began to work the lion out of his striped top, a ragged thing still too large for him. Nevertheless, Alexei leaned upward and with a long moan-like sigh, he removed the top and for now leaned back on his paw, both furs completely topless. Kaelin couldn't help but trace his forefinger up Alexei's chest, up the enormous decade-old scar. Then he noticed the red pendant dangling from a leather string around Alexei's neck.

"You still wear this?" asked the roo, fingering the red stone.

The lion nodded. "Yes, of course I do. It's probably the only thing I own that's closest to my heart."

Kaelin smiled. "I would have thought you'd have gotten rid of it by now. I gave it to you what, ten years ago?"

Alexei nodded again, looking down at it with a smile. He leaned up a bit and held Kaelin's paw. "I could never get rid of it. It...reminds me of you. Reminds me that once, I was deliriously happy if even for a moment. Makes me think maybe I can be again."

Kaelin laughed quietly, using his free paw to idly trace up a few scars on Alexei's belly. "Did I ever tell you where I got that thing?"

The lion shook his head.

A brief smile flickered onto Kaelin's face. "It was years before you and I met, I was in some small town northwest of the city. There was some street peddler, part of an annual town bazaar or some such thing. Though come to think of it, I'm not sure he was officially part of the bazaar, more like some homeless guy selling junk that looked as close to valuable as garbage can get. Either way, the pendant caught my eye immediately as I was walking past, and five bucks later it was mine. He was going on about good luck charms and this and that, but I just thought it was pretty. As it happens, I spent the last of my food money on it, but not an hour after stringing it around my neck I was sharing a pizza with a stranger."

Alexei had to laugh, glancing at the red stone once again.

Kaelin shrugged and laughed quietly through his nose. "The stranger - never caught his name - told me to head to the city, to check out the shops and the restaurants and all the little villages therein. He said a traveller owes it to himself to see the big city at least once in his lifetime. Even told me to check out the subway, that no other mass transit system in the world runs as smoothly or as beautifully as it does. I thanked him for the pizza and left town the next day, heading north away from the city and the emptiness I was sure it would offer. It wasn't until a heartbreak and a few years that I found myself feeling strangely homesick, and I gravitated back toward home, and consequently toward the city. The first subway train I had ever stepped on...had the most handsome lion I've ever seen on it."

"So which train had me on it?" laughed the lion, but he just got an eye roll and a kiss as a response.

"You're very funny," said Kaelin sarcastically. His fingers continued to trail up and down the lion's body, feeling up the dozens of small and large scars as they went. They then travelled over toward Alexei's left ribs where one of his oldest scars sat, and the roo touched it gently. This one was at around twenty years old now.

"Mm, Alexei... I've missed these scars, you know."

The lion blushed and smiled, more so as Kaelin's fingers trailed upward and twisted Alexei's hard nipple. As revenge for earlier, the roo gave both a small twist at the same time, then again a little harder. Alexei groaned, left arm moving as if to stop the roo, but there was no arm there to do it with. Instead he just closed his eyes and embraced Kaelin's paws, and his claws as they ran all over his body and his face, feeling up every scar and every muscle they passed over. He listened to his own heartbeat and the sound of Kaelin's breath, gentle moans as it pushed through his maw. His ex was enjoying himself entirely too much, but Alexei didn't mind. In fact, he was glad for it.

For a long time it seemed as though nothing Alexei could do would make Kaelin happy, despite appearances. Alexei made Jamie happy of course, but it wasn't hard to do. Just being near Jamie seemed to make the shepherd happy. Not that he had tried very hard for Kaelin, but at last it seemed they had moved beyond whatever was holding them back, and a flicker of happiness now began to grow inside the lion as well. He gave his ex a softer kiss, pulling the roo down with his right paw which surprised him.

Kaelin began to blush. "What was that for?" he asked after, despite all the times they had been kissing beforehand.

"I love you, is all."

Kaelin smiled and responded with his own kiss, holding both paws on Alexei's cheeks. He kissed again, then again, then simply rested his head next to Alexei's. The lion put his arm around the roo and the two shared a long, loving embrace. But soon it ended, the lust and desire still burning in their eyes. Kaelin glanced over at the dead prosthetic next to the lion and picked it up.

"May I?" he asked, gesturing toward Alexei's stump.

Leaning back on his flesh paw, he nodded with a smile and pointed his left arm toward his ex.

Kaelin held the arm clumsily, the prosthetic many times heavier than he had expected, but he angled it as best he could and tried anyway. It didn't go in, nor a third time. The two just laughed and Alexei helped guide it, until eventually it snapped noisily into place.

As the prosthetic connected to his body, a sharp pain quickly shot up Alexei's arm and up his neck, lasting only a moment. He then began to move his arm comfortably, never realizing until now how much he appreciated having this horrible metal thing attached to him.

Kaelin smiled and held the metal paw with both of his. He kissed it gently with eyes locked onto Alexei's and pressed the three-fingered paw into his chest, moaning quietly. His gentle moans became somewhat louder as Alexei's fingers became animated, scratching lightly at the roo's chest and slowly roaming down.

Very quickly Alexei found Kaelin's belt, and without much thought he immediately began to work it off. In no time at all he had it undone, and with slightly more force than he intended, he whipped the belt off and threw it aside. It wasn't until he undid the button on Kaelin's pants that Alexei realized he was breathing more heavily now, and with the zipper down it only became heavier.

Kaelin quickly and dutifully lifted his rear end and wormed his pants down, a great bulge suddenly springing outward, still trapped beneath his filthy boxers. The roo moaned softly and very awkwardly removed his pants down to his knees, nearly falling over as he slid them down to his ankles and slid them off. Straddling the lion, Kaelin was quick to work off Alexei's belt, finding the button fly only a mild irritant, until at last he was able to rip the baggy pants off and gaze down upon the almost-nude lion, his excitement clear beneath his underwear.

In seconds, Kaelin's paw pushed down into Alexei's crotch and began to stroke his full, hot sheath from outside his boxers, which caused the lion to moan very loudly. He squirmed beneath the roo and let go of any inhibitions, growling throatily and smacking his metal paw against the carpeted floor of men's apparel. As he stroked, Alexei's fingers dug at the carpet and he let out very loud cries and moans, having not felt so unbelievably turned on for a very long time.

Eventually the roo, who already had a wet spot upon his boxers, dug into Alexei's shorts and at last found the lion's spiny, rock-hard pride, only half revealed. Much to Alexei's delight, Kaelin pushed back his sheath and began to stroke at the length entirely, causing the lion to moan even louder than before, becoming equally as animated as well.

Eventually Alexei pushed off his boxers altogether and with both paws, urged Kaelin to do the same. Quickly the roo disrobed, and together they sat as naked as the days they were born inside the old department store. When Alexei glanced at Kaelin's hard shaft, he immediately saw one of the roo's newest piercings, a metal ring hanging off the tip of his cock.

"Shit," said the lion surprised. "This your new one?"

Kaelin blushed. "Yeah. Other one's, um...behind my balls."

Somehow that really surprised Alexei. "You're crazy," he said with a smile, taking another look at Kaelin's shaft. He tried to imagine what that would feel like inside him, but wasn't sure he wanted to know.

The roo shrugged as response, eyeing the lion's meat now. Before Alexei could make any sort of move, sitting up now, Kaelin quickly resumed stroking his meat, which caused the lion to cry out heartily.

Kaelin just smiled as he worked the lion's shaft, tongue sliding across his lips and blush heavy upon his face. The lion knew what was coming, knew what to expect and it only made him twice as excited. Jamie was good at this sort of thing, but somehow Kaelin was the best he'd had. He didn't know what it was or how he did it, but he knew it was going to be amazing.

And sure enough, the roo lowered his head and in moments, wrapped his lips around the spiny end of the lion's shaft and went down, taking in the entire length with ease.

Alexei shivered and gripped at the carpet as he embraced the warmth and wetness of Kaelin's maw, metal paw upon the roo's head as he bobbed slowly. The lion had to resist pushing him down, instead letting it rest there as if to tell the roo he wasn't going anywhere. The lion groaned, then moaned sharply as a sudden spike of pleasure struck his nethers. He had no idea how Kaelin was doing that, but each time he pulled out he must have done something with his tongue, or so the lion imagined. Of course it didn't matter much either way, Alexei could do nothing but enjoy it.

Kaelin worked diligently on Alexei's shaft, making subtle noises as his head bobbed up and down. Moving fluidly, he pushed his lips down to push back as much of Alexei's sheath as he could, sucking hard as he pulled out again. The spines scratched at Kaelin's throat, which made it sore having grown somewhat unused to it, but the roo persisted and quickly became accustomed. He very much enjoyed the taste of the lion's vaguely salty precum, noticing immediately the difference between his and Connor's.

Letting out moan after moan, Alexei gripped tightly at Kaelin's head but still didn't force him down. He squirmed and moved and growled loudly, his breathing heavier than before. He wasn't sure how long he was going to last, but he certainly didn't want this to end too soon.

"Aaah, fuck," the lion groaned, pushing his head back and still leaning on his right paw. "God damn," he growled, flashing his teeth a few times as the pleasure mounted.

Kaelin giggled, however suppressed it was, and continued a bit faster. For now his paw joined right below his lips as he bobbed, squeezing a bit tighter. His tongue and stud pressed sensually into the lion's shaft, and every time his lips came to the spiny tip, he would suck just a little harder. Kaelin could tell Alexei enjoyed this, evidenced by the lion's sharp cries, and somehow he knew the lion would blow soon. But the roo was intent on extending this for as long as possible; with every five or so quick, hard bobs, Kaelin would immediately slow down for at least ten or so more.

"You're...so cruel to me," huffed Alexei, scratching Kaelin's head.

Kaelin laughed a little more as his lips were at Alexei's tip, going down once more. He squeezed tighter and sucked harder, sending the lion to places he hadn't been to in ages. Alexei smacked his metal paw again against the floor, throwing his head back and growling almost pathetically now. His hips pushed upward with every bob, cock tensed and ready to cum, and yet Kaelin insisted on going incessantly slow, then torturously fast, then horribly slow once again. He did this for a good long while, long enough for the lion to scratch up the carpet beyond repair. Alexei was at the roo's mercy.

With another pitiful moan from Alexei, Kaelin couldn't help but laugh again. Except this time, he didn't go back down. Instead he gave the shaft a few quick licks and held the lion by his metal wrist.

"Wha..? What is it?" The lion groaned, flushed and eyes begging for more.

Kaelin glared at Alexei with a hungry smile, then forced Alexei's paw up and pushed the arm to Alexei's right, twisting the lion around. Fortunately Alexei got the hint and let himself spin around further until his back was to the roo. Kaelin ran his paws along the dozens of scars along Alexei's back, his own long, smooth shaft twitching with horny anticipation.

Admittedly, Alexei was a little disappointed the roo hadn't finished him off, but he also knew how mercilessly cruel Kaelin could be when he was incredibly horny. And certainly, this qualified as "incredibly horny." So rather than beg or resist, the lion went with it. As Kaelin's paw rubbed a warm, slick substance around his eager tailhole - probably the roo's own precum, which had oozed out copiously - Alexei was reminded of the first time they'd met.

Alexei was a virgin then, not new to love but certainly new to sex. He was nervous as hell that day, not sure what to expect and definitely not sure what he was doing. But he did know that was what he wanted, despite reservations, and that was who he wanted it with. No one else in the world he wanted to give his virginity to, no one else he wanted to share his life with. Of course the lion had no idea his life would have turned out the way it had, but it seemed after over a decade, the pair was still immensely attracted to one another.

"Don't know how easy I'm going to go on you this time," Kaelin panted. It seemed he was on the same train of thought Alexei was.

The lion smiled. "I can handle anything you throw at me," he growled, pushing his bum back a bit and lifting his tail. At least now he could feel what that ring would be like.

Wasting no time, the roo held Alexei by the hips and without much warning, poked his shaft in and pushed forward steadily. Both furs let out long moans in unison, Alexei pushing back into the roo. Kaelin gripped tight and simply thrust forward as much as he would go, his cock much thicker at its base. As with their very first encounter, the roo got himself as inside the lion's body as he could physically go, and let himself rest there for a moment.

Alexei, far more used to this than he had been as a virgin, arched his back and got onto his elbows, grinding his rear into Kaelin's hips. He felt the ring as it pushed through his tailhole, but after that he didn't feel it much at all, aside from the roo's thick, tapering shaft. His raspy moans let Kaelin know just how badly he wanted this and how amazingly good it felt. He was still panting a bit, basking in their sexual musk for a while before Kaelin finally continued.

The roo felt up and down Alexei's scarred legs, one paw reaching around to tease the lion. Alexei gasped as Kaelin's paw stroked his wet shaft, flicking at the spines with his thumb at each pass. The roo smiled and stroked several times, slow and purposeful, enjoying both the warmth of Alexei's body and the sounds the lion made. He continued to stroke for a while longer, feeling Alexei shudder beneath him, his breathing fast and moans hard.

"Ah, fuck!" snarled Alexei. With Kaelin's thick shaft grinding into his prostate, every stroke felt like ecstasy. He tried not to sound too pathetic as he moaned, but it seemed he didn't have much choice. And so like a kitten losing his virginity, Alexei cried out as the roo stroked his shaft painfully slow. He growled and begged for Kaelin to go faster, just that extra little bit to let him cum, but the damned kangaroo wouldn't let him. Instead the mean roo just laughed, and though he couldn't really tell, Alexei thought he may have even slowed down a little.

But then suddenly, Kaelin sped up. Alexei gasped and let out a hard breath, moaning pitifully. This was it, the sweet release he'd been waiting for. His cock ached painfully for it, begged for it like a child wanting candy, and at last he felt deep within the intense buildup. Breathing very hard, Alexei closed his eyes and gasped with every quick breath. It was there, right before him just inches away. The lion's climax was right there, a second from release, and that was when Kaelin let go.

"Ah-aaah!" snarled the poor lion, eyes shooting open. "Fuck!" He shook his head and growled deep and squirmed as his cock squeezed extremely tightly and tensed hard, begging painfully for relief. His paws clenched into fists and he let out a very unsatisfied roar, pushing back into the roo as if it would help. He growled again, panting heavily and almost shaking.

"You son of a bitch," growled the lion, face totally flushed and cock in mild pain. He should have expected something like this.

Kaelin just laughed at his ex, until at last he put his paws on Alexei's hips and with a quiet sigh, began to pull out.

"You'll be okay," huffed the kangaroo with a satisfied smile on his face. He gave Alexei's hip several good smacks, rubbing the spot kindly.

Alexei just grumbled incoherently to himself, wincing as Kaelin stopped pulling out. It was a different sensation at first, having grown accustomed to the strange shape of a dog's penis, but after Kaelin pushed back in somewhat forcefully, Alexei quickly remembered this familiar shape. Mouth open again, Alexei let out a long series of moans, growls and groans, and many variations thereof as the roo began pumping his shaft inside him harder and faster. He could tell already, this was going to be rough.

Kaelin was trying to control himself, but it had already been a while since being with Connor, so his desire was incredible. In fact that was likely why he felt compelled to tease the poor lion like that. Somehow though, he was able to pace himself, digging his claws into his ex and pulling the lion back with every thrust, letting out a hearty grunt every time. He wanted to bask in Alexei's warmth for as long as possible, but knew if he didn't show a little self-control, it would be over faster than it started. And so with several deep breaths and loud grunts, Kaelin worked the lion's body more slowly, but still rammed in hard. He couldn't go that easy on him.

Alexei snarled each time Kaelin pounded forward, feeling precum squirt out at each pass. His pride begged woefully for release again, and each time Kaelin pushed in, grinding at his poor prostate, it only made him beg harder. He closed his eyes and let out long, undulating cries as the roo sped up, pushing back as the two began to work more harmoniously together, just as they had dozens of times before this, years ago.

The roo grabbed onto Alexei's tail and with a short growl, pulled the lion back into his powerful thrusts, grunting as he hilted him. He was surprised at the tightness of Alexei's rear, figuring having had a dog cock inside there he would be somewhat looser, and yet he was as tight as the roo remembered. Certainly it would take some effort to make this night last. Nevertheless, Kaelin pounded the lion's hole as hard as ever, his breaths becoming more rapid and shallow the faster he went, urged on by Alexei's moaning.

"Ah, aah!" cried the roo, his climax close. His slick shaft pushed harder and harder into Alexei's body, sending him and the lion to a place of pure pleasure. "Ooh, god," he moaned unintentionally, slamming his hips forward again and again. Alexei's body was so warm, hot even, and wet from his own precum. The first time they had mated he needed lubricant, but now it seemed Kaelin was creating more than enough for the two of them.

As before, Alexei was in complete rapture. His tailhole burned incredibly as Kaelin's smooth shaft slammed forward, hammering his hard prostate without mercy. The lion wasn't even sure some of the noises he was making were actually coming out of him, but he didn't much care either way. His cock, harder than ever, bounced with the rhythm of their bodies' movements while copious amounts of precum squirted almost constantly onto the floor. His nethers felt as if they were in the midst of climax, and yet he knew he wasn't quite there yet. And at the rate Kaelin was going, he wasn't sure he'd ever reach it.

But even still, it seemed as if Kaelin was going to climax long before he would let Alexei. He tried desperately to hold it back, but he definitely felt it in there, just around the corner and waiting for the right moment. His body moved with Alexei's like a finely tuned machine, pumping in as he pushed back, and pulled away along with the lion. He pounded hard, growling every time as if he was trying to hurt the lion, but he knew Alexei could take it. He'd taken it before.

Alexei clenched his hole in some vain attempt to tease his ex, as if to goad him into an early climax and stop just before he reached it. Not sure if he was being particularly successful, he enjoyed the ride immensely all the same, letting out cry after constant cry. He wondered how long Kaelin intended to prolong this for, hoping it would be for hours more but figured the roo had to be close by now. But he pushed such thoughts aside, just as a particularly sharp thrust caused him to yelp like a dog, though it came out more as a snarl.

"God damn," moaned Kaelin, eyes closed. Though he tried his best, he knew he couldn't keep this going. His only options were to climax at last, or to stop entirely. And no force on the planet was going to make him stop. And so he just pushed himself in faster, harder, paws gripping tightly on both of Alexei's hips.

Alexei felt it too, that subtle change in their mechanics. He felt the roo grip tighter, and his noises became slightly different, unnoticeable to the untrained observer but the lion sensed it. Unsure if this was his doing, he knew the kangaroo was close. And the lion found his motions, too, had changed. He squeezed his tailhole that much tighter, ground backward that much harder and moaned much more sharply.

Kaelin pounded his ex-boyfriend fiercely, letting out some loud growls he hadn't made in a very long time. The pair worked together quickly, both well-attuned to this moment. Kaelin closed his eyes and hammered harder, harder until he was sure he was at his peak. With Alexei's smooth, silky body totally enveloping his slick hard shaft, the roo knew it was too late to turn back, and certainly too late to stop it.

With quick, sharp breaths, Kaelin hammered once, twice, three times as his orgasm crept around the corner. It was there, waiting and waiting until four, five, six more thrusts and it finally made its move. In seconds the roo's orgasm hit him like a freight train, and he gave one last, powerful thrust into the lion's body and let out the loudest, most uninhibited cry he had given in years. Claws digging into Alexei's hips, he pushed in again and again as his body clenched and shuddered and seized, and wave after wave of extreme, painful pleasure sent spewing his hot seed deep into Alexei's bowels.

Breathing heavily, Kaelin's orgasm slowly faded and the musk of kangaroo spunk filled the men's apparel department. He left himself inside the lion, who was panting equally as hard. Kaelin was blushing heavily, and finally released his grip on Alexei's hips and for now just rubbed him gently.

"Holy shit," panted the roo, petting the lion's lower back and at the base of his tail. "That was fucking amazing..."

"My belly feels full now," the lion remarked, flesh paw taking a moment to rub around his navel. He felt amazingly warm and blushed as much as the roo. He hadn't taken even Jamie's cock in a long time, and never knew how much he missed being the bottom until just now. He had nearly forgotten the warmth of another's seed inside him, like hot cocoa in winter.

"C'mere," urged the roo, pulling a bit on Alexei's mane.

With a quiet groan, Alexei pushed himself back with his paws and stood up on his knees with the roo, his back pressed against Kaelin's chest. He moaned softly as Kaelin's arms wrapped around him and he held onto his ex's paws. For now the two relaxed within the soft, musky afterglow of sex, though a constant pleasure in both his rear and his front reminded Alexei only half the job had been finished.

And Kaelin knew this well.

With his cock remaining inside his ex, Kaelin's paws travelled downward over Alexei's muscular chest and over his scarred, well-defined abs, stopping around Alexei's pelvis. For now his claws just scratched lightly at the lion's fur, then the darker pubic fur around Alexei's sheath.

Alexei groaned quietly, spiny shaft twitching and still begging. The entire length was covered in precum, slick and smooth and ready. But Kaelin yet made no move for it, instead rubbing his fingers through Alexei's fur, steadily getting lower which made the lion shiver.

"God damn you," huffed Alexei, though he loved every second. He was breathing steadily for now, but as the roo's paw tickled closer to his inner thigh and his knuckle scraped the side of his right ball, Alexei took in a sharp breath and let it out with a sigh. Then a second gasp when Kaelin turned his paw around and lightly gripped the lion's hot, full, fuzzy balls, giving a horrible tug and smiling as he did it.

Alexei growled quietly, pushing his head back into his ex. His maw opened as his over-sensitive orbs were juggled and massaged, and the lion made the softest, most pitiful moans he'd made all night. Not feeling like much of a lion, Alexei embraced this all the same and let the roo do what he wanted, much to his delight.

Kaelin, who had always loved taking control of the powerful lion, gave Alexei's bum a quiet jostling which caused the lion to moan again. He laughed quietly to himself and pushed forward once more, just to remind Alexei who was on top. Nevertheless, the mostly-hard roo continued to toy with Alexei's balls, enjoying their warmth.

"Aah, Kaelin... Haven't you tortured me enough?" Alexei was extremely horny, to the point where it was painful. His body begged for release and his nethers ached more than ever. The longer Kaelin played with him, the more pathetic Alexei's cries and whimpers and moans became. He was breathing a bit more heavily now, lost in the slow, agonizing pleasure that his ex wrought upon him.

"Maybe I have," said Kaelin throatily, nipping at the lion's ear. "But maybe this is payback for earlier."

The lion flattened his ears, knowing Kaelin didn't actually mean it but he thought there could have been some truth to it. As a response he just whined painfully, then more sharply as Kaelin gave his balls a firm tug. Then he groaned and squirmed and groaned again, more precum oozing out as his spiny length tensed sorely.

But at last it seemed Kaelin was feeling merciful. The lion cried out much more loudly than he meant to when the roo suddenly grabbed onto his cock and stroked it at least ten times very quickly. Alexei tensed his whole body and held his breath for a moment as his orgasm resurfaced, but just as it did Kaelin slowed down. Alexei cursed under his exasperated breath, whining now. And as anticipated, Kaelin stroked him again very quickly, just enough to make the lion edge but careful not to let him climax. Alexei would have cursed at his ex if it didn't feel so unbelievably good.

Then without warning, Kaelin pulled himself from Alexei's rear and in a very fluid, forceful motion he twisted and pushed the lion down so he was now on his bum. Alexei gazed up at Kaelin with half an angry face, half confused, and fully erect, leaning up on both paws. But the roo's intentions became very clear as he shuffled forward, cock dripping with cum as he pushed the lion's legs down and straddled the scarred beast.

"K-Kaelin," blushed Alexei, moving his legs. He noticed the roo's tail was lifted and before either could say any more, Kaelin pushed Alexei onto his back and immediately pressed his tight tailhole onto the lion's shaft.

Alexei moaned softly as he felt Kaelin's silken hole. When he went to move a bit, Kaelin immediately put his paws around the lion's wrists and held him there, gazing down with heavy desire in his eyes. Alexei growled and smiled, and the two shared a deep, passionate kiss. Then Kaelin made his descent.

Almost immediately after penetrating the roo's tailhole, Alexei broke the kiss with a very loud, very sharp moan, but was muffled by the kiss again. Instead he made his noises into the kangaroo's maw, their tongues mashing together and in seconds, the lion hilted the roo.

With barely moving, save the motions of the kiss, Kaelin immediately began to pump his rear on Alexei's shaft, now finding himself unable to hold back a few sounds. Eventually the kiss broke for good, but their maws stayed very close together, their hot heavy breath mixing together.

Alexei made small thrusts, but even so Kaelin was still in complete control. His shaft in seconds lit up with intense pleasure, encased by the roo's soft, silky and extremely hot insides, massaging his poor tortured penis with the utmost delicacy. His body soon went limp, powerless against the roo but instead he enjoyed the moment. Alexei huffed and puffed heavily as once more his orgasm crept up upon him, and he could only beg this was the final time.

"Ooohh," cried Alexei, just as pathetic as before. Though instinctively he tried to move his arms, he was thoroughly pinned and when he did try, he received a hearty nip from Kaelin. Blushing and panting, the lion couldn't help but laugh, which only seemed to earn him another hard bite. Then another until he was certain he wasn't doing a thing to cause it. But he sure didn't mind.

Kaelin let out a few growls and groans as his bum pushed down onto Alexei's hips, knowing this wouldn't take long. He gripped the lion's wrists tighter and bit him again, smiling every time Alexei yelped or yipped or moaned like a child. He gave his tailhole a squeeze, adding more pressure to the lion's shaft as he worked it hard, enjoying the ride immensely. He knew he was going to be sore later on, due in part to the lion's barbs, but he would savour it for as long as it lasted.

Suddenly, Alexei's eyes opened and he tried his wrists again. Though the first attempt got him a nice bite on his lip, the lion couldn't help but snarl and Kaelin knew to release him. Instead Alexei's paws turned and gripped onto the roo's so they were clasped pad-to-pad. The lion held onto his ex-boyfriend furiously, pushing upward with his hips as Kaelin pushed down, and seconds later it finally began to hit him.

After three, four more pumps, Alexei's breathing became extremely sharp and very shallow. He closed his eyes tightly and cried out to his ex as he gave one final push upward, begging Kaelin to push down hard. And as they did, Alexei's nether regions were suddenly slammed violently with the worst, most painful orgasm he had ever experienced, reaching all the way up into his gut as his hot, smelly lion-seed fired into Kaelin's bowels like a cannonball. The lion roared ferociously and extremely loud as pleasure finally began to mix with the extraordinary pain that still wracked his balls and his cock and his prostate, until the final wave washed away and it was all over. The only thing left behind was the lingering pain of Alexei's most intense orgasm ever, and the powerful musk of a tired lion.

"F-Fuck..." muttered Alexei, finally going limp. Still beneath Kaelin, his shaft remained buried within the roo for a good long while, the pair panting heavily together. Men's apparel now reeked of two sweaty, spunky males, both of them tired and extremely satisfied.

After a moment, their paws reconnected and Kaelin, tailhole very sore now, let go of Alexei's shaft and lay beside the panting lion, pressing himself as close to his body as physics would allow. A bit of the lion's seed ran down the back of his leg, but it was easily stopped.

"That was really...incredible," huffed Kaelin, blush splashed across his face. "And for the record, I think I'm fuller than you are now."

Alexei just laughed and turned his head, giving his ex-boyfriend a long, loving kiss. Though their paws disconnected, Alexei still put his arms around the roo so he was now partially lying on top, their legs intertwined. The lion felt very warm in their soft afterglow, the pain inside his nethers mostly gone now. It was instead replaced by a soothing pleasure that seemed to linger.

"So what do we do now?" Alexei asked, running his left, metallic paw slowly up and down Kaelin's naked side, up his ribs mostly. He wasn't sure if he was referring to their next move, or how they would handle their respective boyfriends afterward.

Kaelin just shook his head. "I don't know."

Alexei sighed. "We've got to go back eventually."

Now Kaelin sighed, snuggling closer to the lion. "Let's just...lie here for a bit longer."

Perfectly fine with that, Alexei hugged Kaelin tightly, giving the roo another soft, tender kiss on the lips, and for the time being the two just relaxed as close to one another as they could get. Soon the two felt themselves drifting to sleep, so warm and content in their embrace.

Eventually, though, before sleep had taken them completely, they decided at last they had to get up and head back to camp. Despite being in the men's apparel department, both just wore their ratty old clothes that had long since become "worn out." They giggled as they watched each other slip their clothes back on, and couldn't help but hold paws as they waded through the sea of old clothes and racking, and at one point hundreds of dusty old brassieres.

Not long after leaving the mall and finding the campfires, they were greeted warmly by the others, and sat with their respective boyfriends around the dying flames with little to say between them. Soon it would be bedtime for the camp - most had already fallen asleep - and when at last the fires grew dim, Alexei and Kaelin lay with their boyfriends beneath the stars. Though warm and comforted by Jamie and Connor, the lion and kangaroo couldn't help but relax and dream of the day when they could make the sweetest, most fantastic love to each other once again.
