CAT'S TALE--Cat & Saphrine (NC17)

[easytanner]

Cat yielded to the man completely, no thought of struggle or defiance anywhere in his mind and body. Saphrine's strength and aura of danger were overwhelming, and the man's lips and hands set him afire. There was the risk of danger from fangs and claws, a thought that made him whimper and move against the strong body. Had he himself been physically stronger and far less frail, he might have been more physically responsive whether the man wanted his touch in return or not. So swept away was he by Saphrine's skillful touch that he barely was aware when his jeans were refastened.

“Shh, calm down now. You did very well, Cat,” the man said, and Cat shivered at the faint laugh, a shadow-smile on the expressive lips in response to the sound. Then, he was urged to finish his food, which he obeyed as best he could. “That wasn’t so bad now, was it? Don’t worry, tonight you’ll eat dinner as well, and for the next day.” Saphrine's way of helping him eat was quite effective, making him long for mealtime for the first time in his streetlife. To hear what came next caused him to voice a sound of protest: “If I have to do this again tonight in order to make you eat it then I will, but I don’t know if there is truly a need to, I’m positive that you understood everything quite well if I’m not mistaken.” His protest faded when Saphrine's tongue went to work on him. The boy wasn't certain what was happening between them, as he had never experienced such emotions, feelings and sensations. He was accustomed to all forms of sex with all types of men. Why this was different he was uncertain. Perhaps it was because Saphrine was something more, just as he was. They were beyond the norm, and he wondered, deep within, if they weren't intended to be together. Why else would he feel this way with the man?

“You’re gorgeous you know that?” Saphrine asked, and Easy curled in more closely, nestling against the man's body.

"Gorgeous?" he murmured, smiling like the warm, well-fed, satisfied kitten he was. He made a purring little giggle. "Been told that before," he told the man. "Beautiful. Sexy. Hot. Pretty." He purr-giggled again. "All of 'em are you, too," he informed the man. Suddenly brave, he once more threw his arms around the man's neck and drew them into a passionate, complete kiss, the most aggressive he had been since they had met. He would have to be peeled off to make this embrace end.

[night]

With Cat’s murmur Saphrine nodded, liking the smile he saw on his lover’s face, though Saphrine was amazed about his kitten’s sudden bravery as he found his mouth being preoccupied with Cat’s, and responding just as passionately. His tongue playing and plunging, a growl going through him as his hands wondered the body, he had to stop, he had to be careful, this was not the time to be starting another round of love making.

He needed Cat, wanted and desired the beautiful golden eyed boy and pulled him into an even tighter embrace, dominating the kiss easily enough, but that is what he loved about his kitten, Saphrine knew that Cat could put up a fight of sort against him if he really wanted to, but really it felt like they were the perfect match, the dominator meeting one who enjoyed being dominated and controlled, honestly Saphrine could be nothing else.

Anything else suggested weakness, it suggested that Saphrine was once more that helpless child that had been dominated and forced into acts that were confusing and hurtful, things that no child of five years should experience. He knew that others were so cruelly violated at such an age, the one in his arms not quite that young, but young enough.

Perhaps that was one of the reasons why he always tore apart his many partners, though Saphrine didn’t want to give anything like that any sort of thought with Cat in his arms, it would be far too risky for the younger male, he wasn’t yet used to his ability, and it would take time to control, so Saphrine kept that wall of thoughts safe from Cat, he was a master of it and nothing would leak out or enter his mind without him wanting it there.

Finally Saphrine released the passionate kiss, Cat had to breathe sometime, though still Saphrine didn’t want to, he wanted more of the male on his lap, but reluctantly he pulled away, trailing kisses down the slender neck once more, though when he got to the junction he simply held Cat enjoying the closeness of their bodies and closing his eyes, a vibrating growl running through his body as his hands touched the skin of Cat's back for the mere purpose of feeling the creamy pale skin beneath his fingers and know that this wasn’t some dream of his.

“That was very aggressive of you my dear little kitten” Saphrine’s fangs brushed along the junction of shoulder and neck, nipping lightly and growling possessively, his hands wondering beneath the pants in the back, resting there and just liking the way Easy fit on his lap, and especially the way the skin moved beneath his fingers, he couldn’t wait to officially claim the male as his, but that would be after he got a nice steak dinner into that too thin body, and he idly wondered when he should break the news of what their official claiming of each other would mean.

When the kiss ended, Cat moaned, wanting so much more even though he realized that, in his weakened state, what he most desired might be far too much for his frail body. Saphrine was like no other lover he had ever had, and he was certain that the man's demands could not be met at this time. The thought was exciting, arousing and fascinating. He pressed near the strong body as if they could become melded, inseparable, spending their lives in ecstasy. Whimpering, he moved against the man holding him, like a bedraggled kitten seeking comforting touch. He had longed to be possessed throughout so much of his brief life yet never believed it could happen--till now. His heart sped as he listened to, as well as felt, the growl that reverberated through Saphrine's body into his.

“That was very aggressive of you, my dear little kitten,” he was told, and he smiled faintly, realizing that his bold act had not displeased the man, quivering as he felt the touch of fangs and hands as the man continued his sensory assault on his all-too-willing body. With others, he might have been resisting, pushing to be toyed with, even struck. Why was he so certain that he had found exactly what he had been seeking? His father had done things to him and made him want them, but their union brought a feeling of such guilt that he could never accept Strat Tanner as that master he longed for. With Saphrine, there would be no guilt--only acceptance.

Resting in the man's arms, he managed to open his eyes to look up into Saphrine's face, as beautiful in its own right as his own was.

"If I eat, we can be together? Can I--um--have pizza?" he asked tremulously, as if suggesting something forbidden. "And cheeseburgers?" Those seemed to be the ultimate in culinary delights to the youth. "And Cokes? I like Coke," he confessed, as if it would be found a shameful addiction. "I'll try, Saphrine." With his wide eyes and tremulous look, he seemed more of a child than a teenager edging toward manhood--though backpedaling as hard as he could. Aging was his enemy, and he felt a pang of fear that Saphrine might not want him as a lover when he began looking older. How was he to keep his promise to eat while battling to remain a boychick? Yet, he would not voice his fears to the man, at least not yet.

[night]

Saphrine was loving Cat’s movement, Saphrine’s own body responding to it, wrapping himself around his lover, hands hips and arms never stopping in their movement to cover the beautiful male as best he could in the chair. Cat was unlike any he had encountered, he was so addicting and he had yet to draw a blood meal from his lover. Oh the blood would taste positively divine, and it was because of this foreknowledge that Saphrine wanted to make absolutely sure that Cat was healthy.

Saphrine sensed a change in his little lover as he began talking, and though Cat might not speak of any fear that came to mind, Saphrine could smell it, could feel it through the pulse of his gorgeous lover, and he wasn’t too happy with it. He’ll be the first to admit that those golden orbs of his lover were stirring something in him as he looked into the wide beautiful eyes. His hand once more cupped the soft cheek, the long nails combing through the locks of silk and bringing the talkative mouth to his again, despite the gentle actions the kiss was anything but gentle. The tongue separating the lips to dip and aggressively explore the wet cavern of the delicious mouth while the hands pressed the slim body ever closer to his and roamed the terrain of Cat’s back. The feeling of scars on the thin layering of skin over bone not lost on Saphrine, and he idly wondered if Cat would be able to distinguish his own scars one day. The scars wanted Saphrine to slash the skin in his own pattern, showing Cat that he belonged to Saphrine and Saphrine alone. That would not happen though for perhaps a few years depending on the speed in which Cat recovered his health, which would undoubtedly be shorter for him than most humans.

Releasing that mouth once more Saphrine stared at his lover, waiting for the golden gaze once more, one hand going up the back to a shoulder and following it down to the scared wrist, bringing the hand to his lips and kissing the palm, his tongue licking at the lifeline on the slightly more rough skin. Then the tongue ran up a finger, the fangs lightly brushing along the skin before a soft kiss was placed at the top of the appendages. Then he lowered the kissed hand of Cat’s to be placed on his left breast, right over the steady beat of the ancient heart.

“Cat once I have officially claimed you my heart will only beat for you, you will no longer have to fear of anything for it won’t matter what you look like, you will be mine and I shall forever be yours.” Saphrine’s voice was low, the growl that worked it’s way through his throat enhancing his words of complete dominance of each other in their relationship. Though there were still many things that he had to tell Cat, and it wouldn’t be easy,

“Yes you can have all those things, but I will get you into a more nutritious diet, we wouldn’t want any complications for our children now would we?” Saphrine said, it was cruel to smirk he knew, but reactions were priceless and he idly wondered what sort of reaction he would get out of Cat, though perhaps that was the reason why he had held tighter to the male, to make sure he would not escape.

“There is no need to fear love, for I will not ask such a task from you so soon, and I merely wanted to let you know that this was what I wished to talk to you about before our relationship got too far, I’m certain that neither of your parents told you about this correct?” Saphrine asked, looking at Cat and hoping he had not just made a mistake, it wouldn’t matter if he did though, Cat was his without the official claiming, and it would be all too easy for him to hunt Cat down and claim him then.

[easytanner]

Cat felt as if he was drowning in desire--his own and Saphrine's--as the man returned kiss for kiss, touch for touch, their caresses a ballet of movements as they intensified their bonding. As a particularly fierce kiss ended, he found himself looking up into Saphrine's eyes, seeing so much there--desire of course, yet something more, something he had seen in no other man's eyes.

Then, when Saphrine began pressing his lips to the palm of his hand, he wanted to pull away in order to hide his pitifully scarred wrist and arm. At the show of such gentleness, the boy shattered, sobbing, breaking into body-wracking tears from the tenderness and acceptance of those caresses. The evidence of his attempts to kill himself had been a constant reminder of his failure to be strong, to stand up for himself, to be brave enough to face life. They were a disfigurement he hid as much as possible, yet they obviously did not repulse the man in whose arms he rested. Here was Saphrine, facing the raised scars, acting as though every part of him was desirable. Then, the kissed hand was placed upon Saphrine's chest, and Cat smiled tremulously as he felt the pulse from within the strong body that was bringing him such pleasure and promising far more. The beat brought peace to him, and the tears ceased, just as a mother's heartbeat can soothe a fretting infant. He wiped away the remnants of tears with his free hand, all the better to see his new master more clearly.

“Cat, once I have officially claimed you my heart will only beat for you, you will no longer have to fear of anything for it won’t matter what you look like, you will be mine and I shall forever be yours.” The boy quivered at the promise and the threat, nearly delirious with the realization that he had found what he had sought on the streets: the lover, the master, the owner he had dreamed of. The man continued to speak in that deep, vibrant voice. “Yes you can have all those things, but I will get you into a more nutritious diet, we wouldn’t want any complications for our children now would we?"

In the state he was in, the youth did not register those pivotal words in connection with his new relationship: our children. Why should his dazed mind accept such words since he knew nothing of what a bond with this man would mean for him? Such a concept was completely and understandably alien to him, raised as he was by a "mixed" couple on this backwater world. Easy Tanner had been raised ignorant of why he was different and how different his life might become someday.

Saphrine continued: “There is no need to fear love, for I will not ask such a task from you so soon, and I merely wanted to let you know that this was what I wished to talk to you about before our relationship got too far, I’m certain that neither of your parents told you about this correct?”

Mystified, Cat studied the man holding him, confused, perplexed, and uncertain of what was being said. The tawny eyes were wide and questioning. "I--I don't understand, Saphrine. What you mean? What should Strat and Phaedra have told me? Don't understand. W-why'd you say that--'our children'? I don't get it. You want to take care of more kids? I--I'm not enough for you? Why did you say 'our'?"

[night]

The tears were new to Saphrine, he wasn’t used to the salty residue, but he wasn’t the one crying, though it felt that way. His heart jerked slightly, as if to get the cobwebs off and release the dust from where they were as his emotions picked up Cat’s, the bond that signified them belonging to each other was growing stronger the more they touched and shared things without words. Speaking of the annoying communication method Saphrine had to explain himself to the other male still about the children statement, this would not be easy, especially since his parents were mixed.

Saphrine had to think of a way of putting this that wouldn’t be a complete shock to the other, though he was told, and from what he saw and heard from Cat’s scattered memories, the other had no concept of males giving birth, which was going to make this difficult no matter how Saphrine put it.

Though it seemed that the information was already too much for Cat to truly absorb as the questions spilled from the soft perfect lips and Saphrine’s hand rose, gently laying a finger on the admirable and talented skin, keeping eye contact as the finger trailed lower, down the chin, tracing some shoulder before laying his hand on the rapidly beating heart, tightening his hold on the slim waist as he brought the body so close to his,

“First you will calm, for what I am about to say will be difficult to comprehend for their neglect of teaching the basic laws of normal reproduction” Saphrine said, closing his eyes and thinking about where to go from there, opening them again he made sure that sapphire met gold, what a curious mix their kits would be, smirking deviously Saphrine wound his arms around Cat and began to kiss down the pale slender neck, sensing the emotions from the younger male better now that he was connected to the other,

“You’ve always been different haven’t you Easy Tanner?” Saphrine asked, more of a statement then a question, pressing his lips to the bite wound that had healed completely,

“Besides healing quickly you also have the ability to pick up on certain things.” Saphrine said keeping the kisses light as he ran his lips across the bare chest, not caring if Cat wanted for him to stop or even if the younger struggled, he had told Cat that he would dominate the other completely, and he would make his word good, even if he didn’t actually speak those words.

“You can pick up on a person’s aura can’t you, can even get pictures and words that aren’t guarded which is how you have been surviving.” Gently he allowed his fangs to touch the skin, controlling the urge to put pressure on and dig into the fair skin, it was too close to the heart for a normal feeding anyway, not that Saphrine would ever draw the life fluid at such a dangerous spot from Cat, but that he knew from experience how quickly he could kill someone, and even with their death being quick it was gruesome to the worst degree, his first victim being his “father”. He wouldn’t elaborate the thought, knowing that it could be sensed if he did.

He raised his head from the delicious chest, his hand going to the back of Cat’s head, long nails gliding into position as he looked to Cat,

“You sensed something with me, felt the death that surrounded my very being, but you could tell something else” Saphrine’s lips moved ever closer to Cat’s until he finally said it,

“child, I am not of this world” and with that he pressed his lips to Cat’s, allowing their minds a connection that he controlled, the scenery going from pitch black and gently fading into the Jeskarian scenery. Tall trees of the dangerous forest and some villages, as well as some aristocratic homes, one seeming to outdo the other’s in all areas, not too far from it a smaller castle, not as large, for only about 6 people lived their, Saphrine and five less than pleasant to look at males.

“this” Saphrine said, voice interrupting the scene, “is my home on Jeskara, a place that I will take you after I have claimed you, for it would be far too dangerous for our hunt to commence in the forests of my home” Saphrine said

“It will be our home kitten, but this is not why I have brought you to see this” Saphrine held onto Cat as he continued with the lip lock, positive that Cat could feel his arms around him even in the dreamlike landscape,

“You belong of this world Cat, and it is a rare thing to have a mixed breeding of male and female like your parents were, for it is more common for two males to procreate and have kits” Saphrine said, letting it settle slightly and gently brought Cat back from the scene, taking his lips off of his kitten’s for a moment, waiting for the stunning eyes to open for his reaction.
