The Art of Study (Finbar/Aurelien)

[praiseofblood]

Aure rumbled, licking his mate and nuzzling him as he too drifted off to sleep.

[clementine]

Sometime during the nap, Fin shifted back into his normal self. He lay nude and prone atop Aure's big body, nuzzling against the male's pelt as he murmured in sleep.

[praiseofblood]

Aure opened his eyes as he felt a shift, He blinked a soft, tiny growl in his chest that arouse from his sleepy confusion.

[clementine]

As a rule, plush toys didn't generally growl at you. Fin blinked his sleepily open, rubbing his face against his stuffed cat only to pause. Wait. It was a lot more...solid than he remembered. Finally awake now, Fin swiveled his head and found himself look at a cat, no, a fucking HUGE cat.

That's when he started screaming.

[praiseofblood]

Aure blinked, rumbling comfortingly as he winced at the boy's screaming. It was Fin! The little male was his--?

[clementine]

That seemed to be the case, however, Finbar had no recollection of his tender moment with Aure. All he saw was FUCKING CAT and the panic set in. He screamed again, scrambling away from the beast, chest heaving as he wondered why the hell he was naked.

He didn't make it far, foot twisting beneath him so that he ended up face plowing into the dirt. Oh shit, this had to be a dream! He commanded himself desperately to wake up.

[praiseofblood]

Aure sat up and rolled over. Chuffing at the male and purring calmingly at him, padding over and gently rolling him over, licking his face and sitting on his haunches. He didn't want his mate to be afraid of him.

[clementine]

OhgodOhgodOhgodOhgod! Fin huddled where he was, whimpering pathetically. He didn't know how he'd gotten so far outside. This was so much worse than all the other times! And now there was a freaking monster cat as well.

The male was working himself up into a good cry, waiting to be eaten when a gentle nose nudged him to his back. Fin winced and then squeaked as he looked up at the feline feeling like...this was familiar. His trembling body stilled for a moment as he just looked.

[praiseofblood]

Aure purred soothingly, laying down to show that he wasn't going to hurt him. He released his pheromones, just looking at Aure gently.

[clementine]

Fin's dark eyes dilated until they were almost black as he breathed deeply of the intoxicating scent that was floating through the air. His breathing evened out and he sighed as he looked at the panther feeling...weird.

Totally relaxed by this point and not sure why, Fin lifted a hand up to touch the panther's furry cheek.

[praiseofblood]

Aure nuzzled the boy, licking his face and purring, nuzzling into that touch.

[clementine]

Fin wiggled at the licking, laughing lightly as he petted the thing. Okay, so maybe the big cat was and was from a zoo or something. The animals smelt so damn good though! Fin rolled to his knees and had his face pushed against the panther's corded neck, rubbing his face back and fourth in the fur.

[praiseofblood]

Aure purred, nuzzling his mate. Damn, the boy smelled amazing.

[clementine]

The cat's scent was seriously erotic and it sent shivers down Fin's spin. He moaned softly as he was nuzzled as he was helplessly getting turned on, nipples hardened to rosy little points. Fin's brain was in a muddled haze but there was nothing he could do about it as he lay against the panther, looking into the catlike eyes and panting slightly in open invitation.

[praiseofblood]

Aure purred. He loved the way the male was reacting to him. He licked Aure's shoulder where he would mark him. He wanted to shift so badly but didn't want to scare Fin.
