#4 of Verve


September had passed, leaving October to take its place. Three weeks had passed since Drex and Jason had their first date. The weather was getting much colder as the days passed and the first flakes of snow began to fall gently over Braxton and Portworth University, quickly evaporating as they hit the ground.

Drex awoke to the sound of his digital alarm ringing its monotone, yet all too annoying sound. Reaching a paw to silence the annoyance, Drex looked at his calendar. It showed the date Saturday, October 16th circled, all the days before it marked with an X. The otter knew the importance of today, it was Jason's birthday. Because of this, the otter wanted to get up early and get to Jason's as soon as he could.

Drex couldn't wait to give the wolf his present. He looked over at the wrapped box and smiled a little. "I hope he likes these, the guy at the store said they were the best," Drex said to himself.

The otter slowly climbed out of bed. He stood up and stretched, extending his arms as far as they would go. He let out a yawn and lazily let his arms fall to his sides. He slowly walked out of his room and into the bathroom for a shower.

Now fully dressed and much more alert, the otter couldn't wait to head off to Jason's house. He looked over at the clock that read 9:23 AM. "I got til 10, I guess I will make something to eat," Drex said to himself.

"That sounds like a plan," Colin said making the otter Jump a little. "Sorry bout that dude," the tiger said with a laugh.

"Oh, hey Colin, you are up early, you were out pretty late," Drex said now that he had regained his nerves.

"I was out late, but I got to bed early, if you know what I mean," the tiger said with a broad grin.

"You and Sarah seem to be getting pretty serious. You hardly spend a day without her now." Drex said as he rummaged through the kitchen in search of food.

"Yeah, she is great. She's funny, smart, and damn sexy. You would do the same if Jason didn't have to work so much. By the way, today is his birthday right? Give this to him." The tiger went to a counter and grabbed a card that was sitting on it.

"You didn't have to..."

"We're friends," the tiger interrupted with a smile.

"Thanks," Drex said taking the card from Colin.

"So, about that breakfast," Colin said as his stomach rumbled.

The pair looked around for whatever looked enticing at the time. Drex settled with a bowl of cereal and Colin, a bowl of oatmeal. The pair ate and talked about their plans for the day.

"I got tickets to this art show that is going on at the museum. Jason said he wanted to go, but it was already sold out," Drex said as he quickly ate his cereal.

"So how did you get tickets than?" Colin asked curiously.

Turns out my teacher, Mr. Johnson, knows the director of the whole thing. He asked me a few days ago if I was interested in them. I think he knew all along that it was Jason's birthday this weekend. They have that sort of stuff on record, right?" Drex asked.

"Yeah, I guess they do. You think that teacher was setting you up on a date? I need more teachers like that," Colin said with a laugh.

"Yeah, he's cool, helps me out with a lot of things, especially involving Jason," the otter said as he took another spoonful of cereal and chewed it vigorously.

"Is he gay too?" Colin asked.

Drex looked at Colin for a moment and said, "Oh, yeah, I guess I hadn't told you yet. He has been with his boyfriend for years now."

"Oh, that's cool. Anyway, you better hurry up or you are gunna be late," the tiger said looking at the clock.

Drex was surprised to see that it was indeed getting close to 10:00 and he would have to leave very soon. He devoured the rest of his cereal faster than even he thought was possible and quickly got up, heading for the door.

"In a bit of a rush? Wouldn't want you to forget your present now would we?" Colin said with a grin.

"Oh, right!" Drex said as he hurried into his room grabbing the box along with Colin's card and rushing out the door with a quick goodbye to the tiger.

Drex drove along the roads leading to Jason's house. He was getting more and more excited the closer he got, but at the same time he was nervous. He wondered if the wolf would like his present.

It wasn't long before he pulled up to the house. Smoke bloomed out of the fireplace keeping the inside warm. Grabbing the wrapped box and card, Drex walked up to the door and knocked on it. It wasn't long before the door swung open. Jason walked out of the house taking the otter into a hug before he could even say a word.

"It's good to see you too," Drex said with a bit of a laugh hugging the wolf back with his free paw.

"Come in, it's freezing out here," Jason said moving aside so Drex could enter the house.

Drex entered the house and was greeted with a burst of warm air. Sammy sat on the couch watching TV and turned when Drex came in.

"Hey Drex!" The young wolf said with a smile.

"Hey Sammy, what's up?" Drex replied.

"Nothin, just watching some TV. What's in the box?" Sammy asked.

Drex had forgotten about the box he was holding. "Oh, it is a present for Jason," Drex said handing the present to the wolf. "Happy birthday," he said with a smile.

Jason's eyes lit up and said, "You remembered? Thanks!" He took the otter into another hug. Drex felt a bit uncomfortable with Sammy watching but hugged the wolf back.

"What ya get Jason?" Sammy asked excitedly.

"There is a card on top. It is from Colin? Wow, he didn't have to. I need to thank him the next time I see him," Jason said with a wide grin. With that he tore open the envelope that held the card and when he opened it a small item fell out. The wolf picked it up and inspected it. "Oh wow, it's a gift card to that music store down the street. Man, Colin is a really good guy," Jason said almost looking like he might tear up a little.

Drex was nervous as he watched the wolf look over at the other gift. He set the card aside and began to unwrap it. Drex's hear pounded and hoped the guy at the store knew what he was talking about.

When he saw the wolf's expression of absolute joy, Drex's doubts were removed. Jason held the box of now unwrapped art supplies in his paw. "Oh...wow...this is really nice." The wolf sounded speechless as he examined the box. If Jason looked like he would tear up earlier, it was nothing compared to now. The wolf smiled and Drex was surprised to see that Jason actually was crying.

Jason quickly went over to the otter and took him in a tight hug. He looked up at Drex and gave him a quick kiss.

"Get a room," Sammy said giggling.

The pair ignored the young wolf and just held each other. Jason's mom walked into the room and saw them. She just smiled and said, "Hello Drex. Jason, what's that?" she asked looking at the box in his paw.

Jason sniffled a little and wiped his eyes before pulling away from Drex and showing him mom the gift he had just received. Jason explained what each item was and how nice they were.

"That was very nice of you Drex," Ms. Brigam said with a warm smile.

Drex blushed a little and said, "It's no problem. I hope you like it."

"I love it. This is probably the best gift I have ever gotten," the wolf said, the happiness obvious on his face. He walked back to Drex and hugged him again. He said in a slightly lower tone, "And I love you too."

Drex was a little uncomfortable saying the words in front of the two pairs of eyes that were fixed on them. "I...I love you too," he managed to say. He wasn't sure why it was so hard to say it. He knew the family was happy with them being together, but it was still hard.

"So what do you boys have planed today?" Ms. Brigam asked.

"I dunno, we could go watch a movie or something," Jason said to his mom and Drex.

Drex remembered the tickets to the art show and said, "Oh, I forgot about one other present." He pulled out the pair of tickets and handed them to the wolf.

"These are...How did you get tickets for this?" Jason asked amazed.

He remembered what his teacher told him when he handed Drex the tickets. "Top Secret," the otter said with a grin on his face.

"Is that so," the wolf said with a smile of his own.

"It starts at noon, so you should probably get ready," Drex said seeing that Jason was still wearing his usual night attire.

"Alright, I won't be long, why don't you watch some TV or something," Jason said as he hurried off to his room.

Drex did just that, sitting next to Sammy on the couch in front of the TV. The young wolf was watching a Saturday morning cartoon, his brown eyes fixed intently on the screen.

Drex continued to watch the show, not really paying much attention to it. He heard Jason's door open and turned around to see the wolf now fully dressed.

"Ready!" Jason said excitedly.

"Alright, we should get going than," Drex replied.

After saying goodbye to Jason's family the couple left the house. They got into Drex's car and began to head for the museum.

"Man, it looks like it is gunna snow any minute," Jason said looking at the monochromatic gray sky.

"I hope it does soon, I like the snow," Drex said trying to keep his eyes on the road.

They reached the museum just before noon and headed for the door. There was a man greeting people outside and a small line forming in front of him. He was checking people's tickets allowing in the ones in that had them and telling anyone else that the museum was closed for the day. The man took the tickets from Drex, looked at them for a moment and said, "Enjoy your visit."

The pair walked inside to see that there was quite a crowd of people. They began to look around at the pictures on display on the walls. Jason was excited as he moved from one piece to another. Marveling over them excitedly and telling Drex what he liked and didn't like about them.

"Wow, this one is really cool. The color really makes it stand out. It really makes the piece come to life," Jason said.

Drex wasn't that great an artist, but he could see what Jason saw in them. "Yeah, I really like how he drew the expressions of the character in this one."

As they continued on they came across a piece called "Forbidden Passion". It was a picture of a nude male fox shackled to the ground reaching out to the shadow of another figure. As the pair looked at the shadowed figure, they started to think that it may have been a male as well.

"You think this is some sort of gay rights struggle?" Jason asked with a low tone as he looked over the piece.

"It sort of looks that way doesn't it," Drex said wondering what the artist was thinking as he made this.

Suddenly a voice from behind the pair said, "More of an internal struggle for freedom from the bonds of fear." The pair jumped not realizing someone had been close enough to hear their conversation. "Oh, sorry to have startled you both. I am Jerard Phinx, pleasure to meet you both."

The pair turned around and was greeted with a warm smile of a middle aged fox. He was about as tall as Drex with a skinny build. His red and white fur shined brilliantly in the ample light of the museum. He looked at the pair with his deep green eyes waiting for a response.

"Oh, I am Drex, this is Jason, good to meet you too sir," Drex said with a bit of a forced smile.

"Wait, Jerard Phinx?" Jason looked over at the painting than back at the fox than back to the painting. "You are the artist that made this," Jason said with a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Indeed I am. Jason was it? I couldn't help but notice you two admiring this piece. It is one that is held very dear to me in my heart. I was so worried about asking a good friend of mine on a date that he found someone else before I had the chance," the fox said with a smile.

The pair was surprised by the bluntness of the fox. He seemed to not care at all that anyone over heard that he was gay.

"I still keep in contact with him though. We are quite good friends to this day. Anyway, I best be going and make sure everything is running as intended. It was nice meeting you both." With that the fox waved at the pair and walked away.

"So he drew that picture?" Drex asked Jason.

"Not just that one, there is at least ten pictures here that he has done. He is the director of this whole show," Jason said, his excitement obvious in his voice and on his face.

Drex remembered that Mr. Johnson said he was friends with the director of this show. Maybe the shadow in the picture is actually his teacher, the otter thought.

"Lets go over here," Jason said, snapping Drex out of his thoughts.

They spent most of the day at the museum looking at art work and talking with the other people in the museum. The found out that most of them were aspiring artists just like Jason.

They viewed all the pieces, enjoying the time they could spend together. Jason would, on occasion, grab Drex's had for a moment, but not to long. He knew the otter was uncomfortable with public signs of affection, so Jason tried to keep them subtle.

"Ten minutes until the museum closes, please make sure to take all your personal belongings with you as you leave," announced a black bear security guard.

"We better get going, wouldn't want to be locked in here all night," Drex said jokingly.

"With you and all this art here, I wouldn't mind that one bit," the wolf said with a grin.

They went to the door to see that it was actually surprisingly dark. Drex looked at his watch which read 5:00 PM. The days were getting shorter as winter came. The chill hit their faces as they exited the building and they quickly headed for Drex's car. Once inside they quickly started it and turned the heater on.

"So, what do you want to do now, birthday boy?" Drex asked with a smile.

Jason blushed a little and said, "I dunno about you, but I am starving. We could go to that burger place down the street."

"Oh no, we gotta go somewhere nicer than that to celebrate. It isn't every day you turn 20 you know," the otter said.

"Really, anywhere is fine, we don't have..."

Drex interrupted him saying, "Yes we do, and I will not take no for an answer wolfy." The otter had a mischievous grin. He knew Jason hated it when he called him that. "I know the perfect place." With that Drex left the museum parking lot and began to drive toward the restaurant.

"Remind me to punch you later," Jason said but couldn't hold back the smile.

"Noted!" Drex replied happy to have won the small victory.

They pulled up to a nice sit down restaurant and got out of the car. The sign above the restaurant read "Finnegan's" and had a picture of an old bear in a rain jacket and fishing pole. They walked to the door and were greeted by a female otter. "Well, hello there, welcome to Finnegan's, table for two?"

"Yes please, could we possibly get a booth?" Drex asked the waitress.

"Of course, right this way," she said and led them to a booth in the corner of the restaurant. "Jessie will be your server this evening, enjoy." With that the otter walked away leaving the two alone.

"Are you sure we should eat here, it looks expensive," Jason said looking at the menu.

"Don't worry about things like that on your birthday. It is all on me, just get whatever you want," Drex replied.

Jason relaxed a little and said, "Well, if you are sure."

Not long after ordering, their meals came to the table. Drex looked at his medium-well steak and Jason's lobster tail. The food looked delicious and when they started to eat it, they were happy to find it tasted as good as it looked.

They enjoyed their meal as they talked about the previous week. How their classes at school had been and how Jason's job was working out. Occasionally they would rub feet together under the table or hold hands for a moment.

"Work is really boring some days, others I can't find a moment of free time. My boss is really cool though, a real nice guy. I just wish I could help him out more, but with school, I just have to stay part time. My parents would kill me if I tried to get a full time job," Jason said as he took a bite of his lobster.

Drex thought about this for a moment. His parents hadn't told him he couldn't get a job, he just never needed one. In a way, Drex knew he was pretty spoiled. His parents just sent him a check every week for anything he needed. He didn't have to do anything at all for it.

"I think it's cool you help your family out with your job. Your family is really nice. They're always are looking out for each other. They always make me feel welcome too, like I am part of the family myself," Drex said.

"I am sure your family is the same way. You should really try to come out to them. We should go up there some time and just tell them flat out," Jason said with a slightly serious yet slightly joking tone.

Drex got really nervous at this idea. "I don't think I am ready for something like that. I...just...I don't want them to hate me," Drex said hoping the subject would be dropped.

"How could they hate you? You are their son. They will love you no matter what, you'll see," Jason said trying to cheer up the otter.

"You don't know what it is like. My parents expect me to be perfect in every way. They don't want me to try to be perfect, they expect it. If I told them something like that, I really think they would disown me," Drex sounded really worried.

Jason noticed his tone and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you upset. Let's just change the subject."

After a bit more talking, Drex started to relax a little and the subject was dropped like it had never came up.

The waitress came to the table and said, "Would you like anything else tonight?"

As Jason was about to say no, Drex said, "It is my friend's birthday today," he motioned at Jason, "I am sure he would like a cake to celebrate." Drex looked over at the wolf who was blushing intensely.

"Oh, well in that case, I will be right back," the waitress said with a smile.

"Oh god, I hate it when people bring up my birthday at places like this," Jason said with his head in his paw.

Drex laughed and said, "Come on, it isn't that bad."

The sound of clapping began to fill the room as five of the restaurant employees came toward their table holding a little cake with a single candle on it. The approached the table and sang a song congratulating Jason on his birthday. The wolf just kept looking down at the table too embarrassed to look up.

When the group had left, Jason looked at Drex with a bitter-sweet expression and said, "Forget punching you, remind me to kill you later." Still, the wolf couldn't hide the smile and Drex knew he was happy, even if he wouldn't admit it.

After they had finished eating they decided to leave the restaurant, getting into Drex's car.

"Hey, thanks for today, this has probably been the best birthday I have ever had. I am so lucky to have found a guy as nice as you," Jason said as he looked at Drex.

"Aww, well, no problem, I am the lucky one to have a wolf as cute as you. It is still sort of early. You want to come over to my place for a little while?" Drex asked.

"Hmm, that sounds like an interesting proposition," the wolf said with a grin.

Drex started up the engine and began to drive back to the dorm. Once there, they entered Drex's dorm room to find it empty. Colin probably knew we would come here tonight, Drex though.

They went inside and sat on the couch. Drex flipped on the TV, but it wasn't what he was interested in. He looked over at the wolf who smiled back at him. The otter leaned over and gave Jason a passionate kiss.

They began to kiss much more intimately, moving their hands around, exploring each other's bodies. Drex rubbed one paw on the back of the wolf's head, stroking his ear. Jason on the other hand was rubbing Drex's thigh with his paw.

Drex began to rub Jason's crotch as they kissed making the wolf moan. He could feel the wolf's length begin to stir under his pants. Jason reached a paw to Drex's crotch to give the same treatment. As he sensually massaged the otter's shaft, he felt it getting harder.

They both continued to kiss one another slowly and passionately. They were taking their time, not wanting to rush the experience. Drex moaned as his pants grew tighter under the wolf's treatment. Jason slowly unbuttoned the otter's pants to allow his member some room. The wolf reached in between the otter's pants and boxers, rubbing his fully erect shaft just on the other side of the thin cloth.

Drex was not far behind, unbuttoning the wolf's pants and slipped his paw under the wolf's boxers rubbing his shaft delicately. The otter could feel pre forming on the wolf's tip and rubbed it between his paw and the shaft. The shaft was slick now as the otter rubbed the sensitive tip of Jason's length. The wolf let out an audible moan of pleasure as they continued to kiss.

Jason had put his paw in the hole in the otter's boxers, rubbing his erection through the opening. He reached down and cupped the otter's balls with his paw gently massaging them causing the otter to shiver and let out a lust filled grunt.

Jason took his free paw and began to take off Drex's shirt. Once it had been removed, he began to move down the otter's neck, kissing it as he went. He moved down the otter's chest and stopped at his nipple. The wolf gave it a bit of a lick, still rubbing the otter's balls. He sensually licked and sucked on the Drex's nipple sending wave after wave of pleasure pulsing through the otter's body.

Drex still continued to rub the wolf's shaft causing Jason to let out little moans as he did so. Drex looked at the wolf's member as he rubbed it, and took his free paw to pull down the wolf's pants and boxers enough to let the shaft hang freely.

Jason pulled Drex's erection through the hole in his boxers allowing for some room as he stroked the shaft still licking the otter's nipple. Drex was in heaven, he had never felt such pleasure in his whole life as he did at this moment. He wished it would never end as the wolf continued to send wave after wave of pleasure through the otter's body.

Jason pulled away from Drex, to the otter's disappointment. The wolf said, "Let's get a bit more comfortable." He looked over at Drex's room, and the otter quickly agreed. They went into the bedroom, closing the door.

As soon as the door was shut Jason pulled Drex's pants off of him and slowly lowered the otter's boxers as well.

Drex grabbed Jason's shirt and lifted it off the wolf while Jason dropped his own pants to the floor. He stood in only his boxers, but Drex quickly pulled them down leaving the pair naked.

Jason gave Drex a little push that sent him to the bed, the wolf following after. Jason continued where he left off, rubbing the otter's balls with one paw while sensually licking the otter's nipple.

The wolf's paw didn't stay on the shaft for long as he slowly lowered it below the otter's balls to rub Drex's tail hole. Drex was surprised by the sudden change in placement but allowed it.

The wolf's paw, now well slicked with pre, began to rub the hole sliding a finger back and forth over the entrance. He slowly pushed a finger into the otter making Drex gasp slightly. The wolf looked up at the otter and kissed him as he pushed his finger in and out of the tail hole.

Drex let out a gasp as the wolf pushed in and out of his hole. He continued to kiss the wolf while sliding a paw up and down the wolf's shaft. The otter quickly turned the tables on Jason, pushing him to the side and moving his own head quickly down to the wolf's length. Jason was surprised but let the otter do as he pleased with him. The otter's face was inches away from the shaft and the otter took in the scent of the wolf. The smell was intoxicating. A blend of smells hit the otter's nose and made him want the wolf even more.

Drex licked the drop of pre that had formed on the wolf's tip causing Jason to shiver in pleasure and let out a moan. Drex took the shaft into his mouth and moved his tongue around the length. Drex moved his tongue up to the tip and give it a lick before moving down the shaft.

He continued this motion as the wolf moaned audibly at the sensations. Drex rubbed the wolf's balls with one paw while he sucked the Jason's shaft. The otter took the shaft as deep as his mouth would allow bobbing up and down on it while Jason moaned.

He stopped suddenly and looked at the wolf, who looked back at him with a puzzled look. "You want to try?" Drex asked pointing to his tail hole.

"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you," Jason said concerned.

"I promise I will stop if it hurts," Drex insisted.

"Well, if you are sure, I don't want you to feel rushed just because of earlier," Jason said recalling the fingering he had just given the otter.

"It's alright, I want to try it." With that, Drex reached into his night stand next to his bed and pulled out a tube of lube. He put a decent amount into his paw and began to rub it on his tail hole. He let the wolf enjoy the show as he slowly rubbed the liquid onto his hole, letting out a moan of pleasure.

Jason just sat back and watched as the otter put on the show. After Drex had finished lubing his hole, he set to work on Jason's shaft. He put more of the liquid into his paw and slowly rubbed the wolf's shaft causing him to gasp at the sensations.

Drex put the tube aside and pushed the wolf onto his back. "I will handle everything, just sit back birthday boy," Drex said with a smile. With that, he threw one leg over Jason's body, straddling the wolf.

The otter positioned his tail hole over the pulsing shaft and slowly began to lower himself onto it. Jason let out a moan while Drex produced a grunt as he pushed the wolf's tip into his hole.

"Are you ok?" the wolf asked concerned.

"Yeah, just give me a minute," Drex said. After the otter adjusted, he slowly pushed the shaft further causing them both to moan as he did so. Inch by inch, he pushed the shaft in until he was sitting on the wolf's lap.

"Ready?" Drex asked. The wolf just nodded.

Drex slowly picked himself up and lowered himself back down. There was some pain at first as the otter slowly lifted and lowered himself. That quickly turned to pleasure as he got use to the pole inside him.

The otter picked up the pace slightly and Jason moaned in ecstasy. The tight warmth that enveloped the wolf's shaft was sending waves of pleasure through Jason the likes of which he had never experience before. He was panting and moaning as the otter moved up and down the shaft.

Drex continued to move up the shaft which would occasionally hit his prostate causing bursts of sensual pleasure throughout the otter's body.

"Mph...I...don't think I can last m...much longer," Jason said in between moans and panting. Drex didn't stop. He wanted the wolf inside him. He wanted his seed in him.

Jason felt the building of orgasm filling inside his body. He began to pant harder and moan louder as he gradually reached his climax. Suddenly he grabbed the sheets of the bed as he thrust up into the otter moaning loudly sending wave after wave of seed into his lover's hole.

Drex felt Jason's release and couldn't hold back any longer as he released his seed all over the wolf's chest and face. Moaning and panting as he did so. The moment seemed to last for an eternity and yet was over in an instant.

Finally the wolf stopped thrusting and the otter lifted himself off the shaft slowly lying next to his lover. They were both utterly exhausted as they lay next to each other panting.

"I think that was probably better than our first time," Jason said in between breaths.

"Yeah, quite a bit," the otter replied. "Sorry, I got you a little messy."

The wolf laughed and licked at the cum that was on his cheek. "Don't worry about it."

"You missed a spot," the otter said licking the wolf's cheek tasting his own cum for the first time in his life. "Hmm, not quite what I expected," the otter said with an odd look on his face.

"It's an acquired taste," the wolf said grinning.

The pair lay side by side holding each other close.

"Happy birthday," the otter said kissing Jason's cheek.

The wolf looked over at Drex and they kissed each other passionately. They held each other in their arms as they fell asleep.
