Strength of Silence

Chapter 2

Sweat dripped down bulging, furred muscle in the large hot spring. Two massive beasts were side-by-side in the water; a huge, red arm was around a gray upper body that was resting beside it. It would be somewhat difficult to make out much more through the steam, but an obviously masculine scent could be taken in around the area, overpowering even the surrounding flowers and special salts used in the large pool.

The giant, red echidna held the gray-and-cream wolf close to him while they let the water soak into their fur and powerful muscles. While Tachi and Lorank were smaller as children, both of them erupted in size to adulthood. Where the wolf grew to over nine feet tall, Lorank grew far past that to near fifteen feet. Both of their muscles followed, never stopping their training when they got old enough to lift weights.

They often worked out together, through their teenage years and beyond, even after Lorank had went into the mountains to open up his hot spring. Tachi would make many visits up the trail to spend time with his childhood friend, whether it was just to relax in the pool or more sexual things. Lorank had a tremendous libido to go along with his gargantuan package and Tachi made sure that the huge echidna always had someone to rely on if things got too backed up.

Tachi flicked an ear as he listened to the slight rumble beneath the wide, bulging pecs of the red echidna while the wolf's paw trailed along that thick, hairy abdomen, squeezing at each abdominal muscle and sliding down against the huge, throbbing member beneath the surface of the steaming, heated water. A grin formed over his muzzle before he slowly brought himself up, letting Lorank's arm drop into the water, somewhat startling him.

Lorank looked inquisitively at Tachi, tilting his head. He was mute, so he didn't voice his question, but Tachi knew the huge man long enough to know exactly what his facial expressions and body language conveyed and easily communicated with the big beast. They didn't even need sign language, it seemed. A chuckle came from the big wolf as he slowly stepped out of the water, massive beachballs and semi-hard black cock hanging down.

"I think I want to take you to town tonight, big guy," the wolf started, grabbing a towel.

Lorank immediately blinked and grunted, shaking his head quickly.

"Now Lorank, I come up here to visit you so often and spend time with you a few times a week. I never get to take you to eat or drink or anything," Tachi murmured with a frown, bringing the cloth over his huge pecs, causing his muscles to ripple and bounce with the movements.

The echidna gave a snort, crossing his gigantic arms while he stared sternly at him.

Tachi smiled a bit and moved forward, bringing himself to the edge of the rocks and slid down to his wide knees, leaning over and trailing his muzzle along the beast's muzzle and cheek, kissing his lips lightly. He flicked his blond tail at the replying kiss and nuzzle, chuckling whenever he heard another grunt from Lorank afterward. When Tachi pulled back, he noticed Lorank was looking a bit nervous and almost sad. The expression made Tachi frown as well.

"C'mon, hun. I know you don't like going out there, but I promise I'll make it fun. I won't let anyone do anything to you if you don't want them to," the wolf murmured tenderly, bringing his big paw along the other's chin and sliding to those large dreads, kneading along one while his blue-green eyes glinted in the soft light around them.

Lorank's expression lightened somewhat whenever he stared into Tachi's face, seeming to be entranced for a few moments before he looked to the side, a red blush creeping into his cheeks afterward. He gave the motion of a sigh and then gave a slow, almost solemn nod while closing his eyes. He slowly stood up from the water and stepped out, muscles shifting and bulging while that huge, dark cock slapped near his calves, dripping heavily.

Delighted with his change of heart, Tachi grinned and brought a towel to the massive echidna, looking up at him while Lorank began to dry himself off. The wolf felt a slight bit of hesitation himself as he saw the big male's frowning muzzle, swiveling his ears after and then looking down with a sigh, himself.

"You don't have to, Lorank," Tachi murmured softly, not masking his disappointment. He continued toweling himself while he sighed again. He gave a slight start whenever he felt the huge, red hand on his shoulder, looking to it and then up at the beastly other.

The big echidna had a large smile on his face now, pulling the wolf close to him and squeezing him into that massive, hairy bulk, feeling those abs and pecs press over his face, feeling the heated flexing against his form. Tachi gave a soft moan while he nuzzled into the thick crevice of those red pecs, feeling the fur coat and move over his muzzle, drizzling him with lingering water. He smiled up at his best friend, rumbling at the sight of those eyes.

With a pat to the wolf's rump, Lorank drew himself back to slip on his kilt, hooking it around his broad waist. That seemed to be all he needed for going out and looked at Tachi expectantly, giving a motion of his paw toward the wolf's clothing.

Tachi's grin grew back as well, quickly moving toward his garments to put them on after he had dried off. Putting on his speedo, pants, and buttoning up his shirt, the wolf was quickly ready to descend the large amount of stairs with Lorank to enjoy a night of fun.

It took them a while to reach the bottom of the steps, but they arrived at the red gate and passed through into a forest. The passages were well-hidden within the wooded area and it was difficult to find unless one knew where they were going. It would take them nearly an hour to get from the hot spring to the city, but they enjoyed the walk while pressed close to each other, huge arm around the wolf's shoulder while the wolf's arm gripped the echidna's waist.

As time passed, they began to see a few cottages and houses along the road that they had gotten onto, which turned into a cement street that led into the large city. They got further in and began to see a few people walking along the streets as the sun was setting. Each one began to stare and look at Lorank as they passed, making the huge male clench slightly harder around Tachi's shoulders, pulling him a bit closer as the echidna stared back.

Tachi gave a slight chuckle as he felt the clench around him, patting that big, meaty rump that was covered by the kilt, looking up at the other.

"Shh, they're just admiring your physique," he whispered, hearing a slight grunt in reply.

A few blocks down, there was a neon sign blinking into the dusky sky, reading "Mushroom Cloud Bar". Inside were a few patrons along the many seating areas, along the bar, and dancing in the open room on the side. Behind the large bar was a rather massive, red-mohawked Rottweiler, giving a deep grunt and tilt of his head whenever he saw the huge red echidna, but smiled whenever Tachi came in. The massive man knew both of them and was confused that Lorank came in, but the wolf being there made more sense.

"Well, hey there Mr. Derabus," the huge Rottweiler murmured, "and you too, big Lorank. What brings ya here tonight? 'm pretty surprised to see the big lug out and about."

"Ah, just here to have some fun tonight, Toby. Convince Lorank to come along to get out and about some," the wolf murmured with a nudge to the huge side of his friend.

Lorank gave a light wave to Tobias, the large-bellied male that had often been around Tachi's fathers, considering that he ran the bar in Tu'Hahra's casino. He had a business off to the side, with permission of the platinum jackal, to run his own bar in his own home. He only had to make sure that he didn't take customers away from the casino, which was simple enough with his own ability.

"So, what c'n I get fer you boys," the huge Rottweiler asked, starting to look for his bigger-than-normal mugs. After all, with the size of both Tachi and Lorank, he had to get something suitable.

"Ah, just some beer to start off with, I suppose. Mix mine with orange, you know how I like it," he murmured before he nudged Lorank again as he sat on one of the enforced stools, "beer for him too, I suppose. He'd like some, I bet."

"On the house, boys. Gotta treat my boss's boy right, after all," the rottie murmured. Almost a few seconds later, the huge rottie set a gigantic, five-gallon mug of plastic in front of Lorank, and Tachi had a gallon set in front of him.

"Aw, you don't have to do that, Toby. I can pay," the wolf murmured.

"Oh please, Tachi. Your pops pays me good enough. You can drink the bar dry if ya want," Tobias grunted in reply.

"Well, don't think you're getting away without payment. I'll find a way," he murmured, bringing his large mug up and began to swallow a few mouthfuls down.

Lorank, in the meantime, looked down at the giant container that was set in front of him. It was big enough to look like the perfect size for someone of his massive musculature and height. He picked it up slowly and began to take a few swallows down, blinking at the taste. It didn't have the yeasty taste of regular beer and had quite a bit of flavor in it, as if it were a mixed drink. Delighted, the echidna took another heavy swig, swallowing down nearly a quarter of the jug.

"Mmm, that's it, big guy. Let loose, take as much as you want!" Tachi murmured with a pat to the other's huge arm near his own, grinning as he took a few more drinks from his own. It didn't take long for either of them to finish their mugs of beer, but it seems like they weren't even close to finishing. Sensing this, their mugs were refilled by the big canine bartender.

It took them a few full mugs, but they both seemed to be getting somewhat tipsy. Tachi brought his paw upward and gripped around Lorank's arm, pulling it around his shoulders as he normally did. He gave a slurring "hrrr", reaching along and gripping one of those big mounds that were the huge echidna's pectoral muscles, tweaking a nipple in the meantime.

Lorank's face was a bit reddened, though gave a grunt as he felt Tachi's paws. His arm tensed, flaring out and bulking a bit larger as he gripped tightly to the wolf, pinning him further against that side and causing the wolf to gasp and grunt a bit. At the wolf's squirms, Lorank smirked slightly and brought him tighter, causing a few pops to be heard out, leaving Tachi to whine.

Tachi squirmed and pulled away from that huge body, huffing out and grunting at him. That is what the huge echidna usually did to keep Tachi from letting his hands grope too much. Lorank didn't seem to want to be felt up at the moment, still aware of eyes of the patrons on him. The echidna looked around and snorted before he took a few more mugs down.

It wasn't long before Tachi tried again, this time more insistent while he gripped that huge mound of chest flesh, squeezing it and tweaking a fat nipple, causing Lorank to let out a silent moan, lifting his head back. His arm tensed again, but he hadn't pinned Tachi. The muscles flared, pressing out against the wolf's face while that paw reached down, trailing along that massive sequoia-like thigh. After a few more moments, Lorank would grunt again as the wolf sank his paw into that massive bulge beneath the kilt.

Lorank's face was redder than before, panting and huffing, looking down at Tachi while he brought his beer to his muzzle. Some of it slopped down his front, dribbling down his chin and over his huge, flexing chest. Those pecs rolled to the wolf's muzzle while he lapped at them; Tachi brought his beer to his own muzzle, doing quite similarly to Lorank, spilling some down his front with a slurp. He chuckled with a slight "hrhr".

The groping and stroking continued, causing that kilt to rise and bulge up somewhat. The red echidna seemed to try to push away a bit, giving another slight grunt. He was unsuccessful, however, as Tachi only became more persistent. Those paws rolled the swelling, throbbing bulge beneath that kilt as it continued pressing upward. The throbs grew louder, causing the big echidna to moan out a bit.

Tachi smirked a bit, his own pants bulging while he slurped down more of his beer messily, though slowly got up off his stool and leaned into Lorank. He pressed up beneath that huge arm, sliding beneath it and gave a firm nuzzle to the thick, hairy pit that he was near, snorting and slurping into it as that arm grinded down and pinned his head in, leaving Lorank to tense and shudder. The big, red hand came down, squeezing and gripping at Tachi's massive, rippling pecs.

This caused the wolf to moan deeply beneath that huge arm as that musk permeated against his face and into his fur, squirming a bit harder before he pressed his head up and through that pit, past that bicep and against that chest. He dripped with a bit of sweat from that thick hair, moaning and lapping up that mound, trailing a strand of saliva over it.

The sheer size of the huge echida became more obvious now that Tachi was climbing over him. The huge, red beast was bulging with masculinity. His back was broad, almost causing him to hunch with the tremendous amounts of muscle packed, sliding against his head with those traps, and shoulders that were difficult to get through doorways. Those pecs were always nearly pushing against his chin, rippling and moving with each arm movement.

They were working against Tachi's ministrations, bulging out and pressing his head back so easily, pinning him between the gargantuan pumpkin-like bicep against the gigantic pectoral, pulsing with the massive heart beneath it. There was thick hair all over, between those pecs and beneath those arms, even trailing down between the massive abs to the musky groin hidden by that kilt. The musk was beginning to grow more apparent as sweat dripped down both beasts' bodies.

Tachi was massive, but the sheer size of Lorank made him look like a young child to a father. The wolf towered over most, but Lorank was almost twice his size in both height and weight. The muscles would overpower the wolf in an instant, and they were doing just that. Lorank drew the wolf forward, sliding him up around and into his lap, sending their huge packages together, sliding against one another.

The wolf wasted no time and lifted his head upward, pressing his muzzle against Lorank's and drawing him into a deep, lustful kiss. Thick, heavy slurps were heard, schlorps of tongue against tongue sounding out while the wolf reached up, holding to those massive traps, as he couldn't get his huge arms around that gigantic neck. He rolled his hips into Lorank's, his pants creaking and straining with the bulging groin that began to moisten from his growing arousal.

Lorank replied into the kiss, although somewhat hesitantly. He was still slightly aware of many of the patrons now looking at them, but he leaned into Tachi and let his fat, thick tongue fill the wolf's maw. It curled around and slid about inside of those lips as he brought one of his giant arms around the wolf's waist, gripping his rump and sending that waist deeper against his own. He thrusts upward, causing Tachi to arch back, moaning loudly while his pants creaked, their clothing brushing hard against each other.

The alcohol was continuing to affect them, their slurping and smooching growing deeper and more lustful for one another. Thick slurps and slorps sounded out, saliva trickling down their chin while they both sweat, brine running down their brows while Lorank used his powerful hand to grip Tachi's shirt. Almost in an instant, the wolf's shirt was ripped off, exposing his massive chest and big muscled belly, nipples throbbing and fat on his perked pecs.

"Nngh.. my big Lorank.." he whispered into the other's lips while his bare chest grinded against Lorank's, meshing beer and drool through their fur, causing Tachi to hump harder down into the covered package of his huge companion.

A grunt followed in reply while his huge hand rubbed over Tachi's broad back, pinning his smaller body to his much, much larger one. Those muscles rippled, veins pushing to the surface while he squeezed the wolf to him possessively. The kilt lifted further as thick, heavy plops of precum splattered down onto the ground, starting to slide against the bar below. The musk was almost penetrable now while many of the patrons covered their muzzles, some of them getting up to leave, and some getting more into it.

Tachi's paws stroked over those mountainous chest mounds, squeezing them and rolling them, sinking in and then moaning deeply as he worshipped along the echidna's body. He squeezed downward, gripping the fat nipples that overfilled his paws, parting the kiss so he could lower his head and dig his muzzle along that thick, heavy hair, sweat sliding along his face as he breathed in.

Starting to enjoy the attention, the huge red male slowly lifted his massive arms behind his head, biceps pressing out against him while his pecs flared, shoving out and bulking with inches of mass, seeming to inflate right before Tachi's eyes. They pressed the wolf back, almost engulfing his head while he was pinned to the bar. The wolf squeezed along those arms and then slowly drew his head back, licking up along one of those bulging triceps while Lorank panted.

The wolf drew the massive five-gallon tankard up and pressed it to Lorank's lips again, suddenly making him down it quite heavily. He didn't let up, making the echidna swallow mouthful after mouthful while quite a bit of it slopped down his chest, some splashing over Tachi's head and face. He grinned, watching that throat ripple and pull, Lorank eagerly drinking down the tasty alcohol while he slurped. That entire tankard was emptied after a minute; Tachi pulled it away and set it down.

That did the trick.

Lorank gripped Tachi's pants, ripping them as soon as the wolf's huge, black cock ripped through the front, causing those giant beach balls to slap between his thighs, free-hanging black cock slapping up against Lorank's chest. Precum gushed while the wolf moved forward, locking lips with the echidna once more, this time deeper and much more lust-filled. Their mouths met, tongues slapped, and thick slurps sounded out with heavy lip sucking.

Reaching down, the huge echidna drew his massive, dark cock upward, letting that dribbling head press against Tachi's ass, shoving upward and sliding against those cheeks while he rolled himself upward, grinding forward and spreading them bit by bit. It pressed the wolf forward into the echidna, making their kiss all the deeper while the huge head wedged further, causing the wolf to arch and shove back to lock himself down over it.

The head popped in, causing Tachi to let out a yelp of pleasure before he kissed deeply into that maw all the more, tilting his head and gripping those huge pecs. He humped back and forth to slide his own massive dick along those wide, hairy abdominal muscles and against that wide, hip-spreading dick that was steadily pushing inch by inch up the wolf's backside.

Lorank gripped around Tachi's broad waist, causing the wolf to squirm while the echidna leaned forward, using his gigantic torso to pin the other to the counter, panting hotly while he spread his massive thighs. Those fat, low-hanging balls gave a deep, throbbing gurgle while the dark cock slid along the wolf's rump, sinking deeper and sliding further. Lorank watched in delight as his wide cockhead pushed along the belly of the wolf, shaping it with its size.

The patrons continued to watch, quite a few leaving at the sight of the huge males beginning to fuck. Some of the whispered their offense to each other as they walked out, though a few stuck around to watch the beasts move and grind against each other. They watched muscle on muscle, red overtaking gray and cream, and listened to the heavy grunts and moans sounding out into the bar.

Now ignoring them, the huge echidna drew his pecs to shove against the wolf's face, pressing him back further against the counter and almost crawling onto it while he pushed up. His waist finally met the wolf's huge rump, feeling those wet, warm inner muscles rippling over his huge dick while he gasped and drooled, massive tongue lolling out and dripping drool over Tachi's broad mounds and over his face.

Tachi winced and bit his lower lip as he lifted his head back, pressing back against the bar counter while he moaned and shuddered, drawing his broad thighs around that waist, unable to get a little more than halfway around that wall of red, rippling muscle. The heat pulsed into his form from the bigger one, causing his fur to mat down with sweat that dripped down his brow and over his chest, rising and falling with his growing pants.

"C'mon, Lorank... nnngh! Take your big wolf!" the wolf snarled out, deep voice causing the counter to rumble while creaking with the combined weight.

Lorank leaned his head down again and began to slurp and kiss into Tachi's maw, shoving his fat, drooling appendage into those lips. That maw was forced to spread widely, bulging those cheeks with echidna tongue while saliva coursed down his chin and neck. The wolf was completely vulnerable to the lust of the red beast holding him down, feeling every pulse and dribble of that huge dick inside of him.

It didn't take much longer for the wolf to nearly howl out as Lorank's muscles flared, thighs bulking out while he drew backward. Foot after foot of that giant man meat appeared once more before slowly sinking back in, causing Tachi to spasm and grip his claws into the counter. That bulge was seen moving along that waist and back up to his belly, almost pushing up to his chest. A spasm sent Tachi's arm to knock over the large tankards they had, splashing their wide muscles with the tasty liquid.

Lorank continued making out with his wolf, gripping his tremendous arms around that waist, pumping back and forth in the matter of a few seconds. Feet of meat were once against appearing from the wolf's bubble cheeks, causing Tachi to squirm and grip more tightly to Lorank's huge pecs. Those fingers sank into the red flesh, rolling the mounds before they tensed to grip the wolf, hardening up to drive harder.

Like a gigantic piston, Lorank slammed himself and worked into a rhythm of fucking the muscled wolf, precum gushing and already flooding the lupine's wide belly. With another flex of those pecs, the red male shoved them over Tachi's face, nearly engulfing his entire head into the musky, hairy crevice, coating him with sweat and more of that beer that slopped down earlier in their drinking. Those arms further wrapped around the wolf, almost hiding him completely in massive, red bulk.

Musk emitted around the bar with their steady lusts, knocking down a few other cups that were still on the counter. A few patrons moved forward for a closer look, one of them even reaching out to rub along one of the slick, sweat mound of muscle before him. The otter kneaded and squeezed along the massive thigh that rippled with strength, being pressed back as it seemed to only get a bit larger. It was as if the gigantic echidna was getting wider!

Tachi knew what was happening before the gasps of the patron signaled that something was strange. The heavy throbs of that huge echidna dick pushed that member bigger, starting to stretch the wolf's rump apart more and more. He snarled and gripped harder into Lorank's pecs, squeezing them and feeling them spreading his thick fingers while those pulsed bigger as well. Inches were adding onto every part of the echidna's body.

It happened nearly every time he and Tachi played around with each other. Lorank's body would get so heated and tense so much during lustful intercourse that he would simply bulk up. His body would grow bigger and bigger, unstopping until he would be relieved of whatever was exciting him. Lorank enjoyed every bit of it, too. There was more than one occasion that Tachi would prolong the big echinda's orgasm just to watch him become the size of a house, or more.

Another customer grew more interested in the growing brute and began to rub Lorank's gargantuan thighs, kneading them and rubbing them down, considering that was almost all he could reach. The German shepherd would move up to the gigantic lats of the monstrous, red male, soon trailing his muzzle along the deep pit of the huge arm that rose above him. He sniffed deeply into that thick, musky fur, moaning out from the sheer masculinity the beast had.

The pulsing, growing Lorank panted heavily, seeming to pause in his thrusts while he gripped tighter to the squirming wolf before him. With his bulging arms, he turned the wolf's body bit by bit, making Tachi howl out in sheer pleasure as those ridges and fat, throbbing veins rubbed deeply inside of his walls until his back was pulled against the tensing mountains of pectoral muscles behind him, feeling them throbbing out further, pressing against the back of the wolf's head.

With another surprising move, Lorank gave a deep, heavy grunt while pulling himself from the bar counter, turning and slamming the wolf over one of the nearby tables, shoving that large body down with his huge form. The red body tensed and rippled, still flaring larger to where the gigantic, throbbing cock of the echidna was showing through Tachi's belly, visibly bulging with the gouts of precum that splattered inside.

Tachi clawed into the table as he gasped, gripping the sides of it, unaware of the few pairs of eyes staring at him. Everything he felt was overtaking his mind, feeling that giant piece of meat moving back and forth through his insides. His slick, gripping walls rippled over Lorank's cock to pull it deeper and press it back out at the same time. His body flexed to squeeze around that dick all the more, but he was soon surrounded by hot, sweaty arms again, muscles engulfing over him as that cock began to tense as well.

Those huge, red balls that were slapping against the backs of the wolf's thighs were gurgling now. They were sounding almost as if they were boiling with all of that seed ready to be erupted. Feeling his orgasm coming closer, Lorank tightened his body further, causing him to grow what seemed like a foot of height to add to the hundreds of pounds of muscle that packed onto that already-gigantic frame. The thrusts caused the table to creak, on the verge of breaking beneath the massive monsters.

All of the musk, sweat, and rippling muscle was too much for Tachi. The wolf gave a few spasms while his body locked up, muscles flaring and pressing Lorank back a bit before his huge, black cock throbbed beneath, suddenly exploding with waves of hot, white cum. The first wave rushed over the table and splattered to the floor, while the next hit the far wall, seeming to paint it while the room began to take the effects of their intimacy.

Tachi's howls shook the walls, making the staring bar-goers wince, all of them stroking themselves if they weren't stroking Lorank. Gush after gush erupted from the wolf, beach balls unloading themselves all over while Lorank slammed deeper inside. The lupine's pleasure caused his body to squeeze tighter around that cock, roughly rippling through that orgasm, and that was all it took for the huge, red beast behind him.

With a silent roar, Lorank threw his head back with his maw spread, balls pulling up to unload tens of gallons of cum into the wolf. That belly flared out to gargantuan portions while it spread over the black cock of the wolf and over the table. The red beast never stopped his slamming, only trying to sink himself deeper into the wolf he was fucking. He watched through thinned eyes at the wolf bloating fatter with the liquid, bulging him bigger and bigger.

Lorank leaned over Tachi's body, gripping that swelling gut as the gushing continued. Some of it spilled out around the member before he took a few moments, taking himself back to pull the gigantic pillar out. The wolf's back was suddenly painted with hard, heavy cascades of white wash, coating him thoroughly while the echidna held his cock, letting the stream hit the ceiling and walls as well. It slopped down onto them, bathing down everything around.

Tachi squirmed and pressed back, letting his rump press against the huge trash bag-sized balls down below while he felt that tremendous cock throb and gush against his back. He lifted his head back, panting and moaning to the echidna while he lifted his head, locking lips with him to kiss and slurp deeply into that maw.

Through his orgasm, Lorank eagerly returned the sloppy kiss, mixed with cum and saliva trickling down their chins and chests. Tachi felt the other turning him with ease again, pulling him up into his massive arms and surrounding him once again in hot, throbbing muscle while that cock continued hosing down everything, including the nearby patrons.

It seemed like an hour had passed before Lorank's orgasm had finally waned. The room was completely flooded around them, lapping against his ankles while he held Tachi close to his massive, hairy body. The wolf trailed his fingers through that fur and leaned into the huge beast, smiling softly through his drunken stupor, rumbling against those rising and falling mountains of meat of Lorank's chest.

There was another bar just around the corner--Lorank licked his lips as he carried Tachi out.
