A small prairie schooner, a wagon with a white canvas cover, is making its way through the loose sand dunes towards a deep chasm in the distance. Onboard are two souls; Arthur the driver, and Tao the travelling merchant. The latter is laying stretched out on top of some of his softer wares, protected from the burning sun by the white canvas cover above him. Tao can best be described as a feline humanoid influenced by the spirits of the earth, his head a pure blackness with only his mouth and red glowing eyes visible. The rest of his body is earthen coloured save for a grey tail ending in white. He wears shoes and socks, an open long hooded coat with braids on either side, and a red thong finishes his look as the rest of his body is laid bare for anyone to see. Where Tao is headed modesty is a non-existent concept anyway. The schooner wagon traverses the last few sand dunes to be met with the canyon that houses the tree ghost tribe he’s delivering supplies to. It is the ideal place to hide a community from the desert’s hostile environment. The shade feels refreshing when the guards let the duo through, a welcome reprieve from the unforgiving desert sun. Arthur guides the horse away to the drinking hole, not in the least bothered by the tribe’s nudity or forwardness as they welcome him, whilst Tao stays with the cart as he intends to unload his wares as soon as possible. The cat boy grabs a crate when suddenly he himself is grabbed from behind, a pair of hands placing themselves onto his soft stomach and grabbing the pouch of his thong, squeezing it gently. Immediately, a purr resonates through Tao’s chest as he feels the warmth of his unseen assailant press up against his back, a voice speaking softly in the local primitive dialect:”Tao was missed!” The cat boy turns his head slightly and sees the cheeky grin Angtu the tree spirit is wearing whilst still clutching Tao, fondling him out in the open as is perfectly normal in this tribe:”It’s only been a week, Angtu. You know I come back every week.” Tao turns around to face Angtu, the tree spirit’s fondling having not missed its effect as his erection stands up proudly in his red thong, the two boys now crossing swords as Angtu’s member is erect in excitement as well. Angtu’s body is completely grey being a tree spirit, with a wispy tail and faintly feline cat ears as well as a tuft on top of his head. He wears a wooden mask that frames is glowing yellow eyes, a toothy grin with fangs at the corners of his mouth, and his body is decorated with luminescent glowing markings. Finally, he wears crude golden bracelets around his ankles and vines curl around his arms and chest. Angtu seems to chirr in happiness, nuzzling Tao’s face whilst his uncut member frots against the cat boy’s red thong, a wet spot starting to appear in the fabric:”Angtu knows. But, tonight is special night! Angtu has surprise for Tao!” The two have always been close whenever Tao visited the tribe before, so the merchant could guess what kind of surprise the tree spirit had in mind, “That sounds great, Angtu. But first, let’s unload these crates. Before you sap all my strength prematurely!” Angtu has to chuckle at the suggestion, the boy having jumped Tao in the past before he could unload his wares before and leaving him exhausted before the task was completed. He and some other tribesmen start helping Tao to carry his cargo into a nearby storehouse hut, erections sprouting wherever the welcome outsider steps and hands fondle in casual greetings. Angtu is unable to keep his hands from himself or from Tao, gently masturbating whilst working the whole way through but seemingly holding back when he gets too close, which is somewhat odd for him to do. He usually finishes and has stamina enough to keep going. Eventually Tao’s schooner wagon is empty and the merchant is paid for his wares. Angtu insists Tao join him in the communal baths to wash away the grime and dust from travelling the road, the cat boy all too eager to comply but unable to shake the feeling something feels off about the tree spirit’s mannerisms. Something he can’t quite lay his finger on, but Angtu seems to vibrate with energy without letting it out like he usually does. And each time Tao reaches for his friend’s cock to try and take off the pressure, Angtu won’t allow him to do so to completion. Tao’s confused frown is met with a broad grin from the other boy and a nuzzle upon his nose, Angtu remaining mysteriously silent and apparently enjoys the enigma this causes for his friend. The two enjoy the cooling water of the natural pools, casually chatting and fondling whilst the tribesmen around them do the same. Tao closes his eyes as he lays back against Angtu and basks in his admiration, the tree spirit’s hands roaming the cat boy’s body and washing and teasing every nook and cranny tenderly and playfully. Tao has always enjoyed the free spirit and atmosphere of the tribe more than any of the ‘civilised’ cities, but what draws him back more than anything else is Angtu. From the first moments they met they were inseparable friends, and Tao’s heart always soars when they’re together. Tao gasps in surprise when Angtu grasps his cock a bit more firmly, the cat boy’s clothes discarded at the side of the pool, Angtu whispering huskily into his ear:”Angtu has missed Tao’s nice cock. Tao’s nice cock missed Angtu?” The cat boy is about to reply about how his whole being had missed his friend, but Angtu has already submerged himself in the waters, swimming to Tao’s front and without hesitation uncovers the juicy spongy cock head from its foreskin before sucking down on it. Tao gasps in delight, waters splashing around as the mild attention of the surrounding tribesmen is drawn, many sympathetic smiles exchanged as they too are engaged in very soft and casual sexual activities. Some are mutually masturbating, others are just fondling or kissing, and there are a few performing all sorts of oral as well. Soft moans and groans echo through the communal baths as Tao’s hands land upon Angtu’s head, cradling him and guiding his speed as the tree spirit boy suckles the cat boy’s delicious cock with gusto. Occasionally, Angtu surfaces for air but before Tao can recover from his bliss, his friend has already dove down again to resume his oral assault. The need rises and Tao grinds his hips into Angtu’s face, clutching him tightly as he feels his climax approaching, when suddenly his friend stops and withdraws, just before the point of no return. Somewhat frustrated Tao gives the widely grinning Angtu a questioning look, but the tree spirit hugs his cat boy friend instead and chirrs happily as he nuzzles into him, “Not yet, beautiful Tao. Later tonight, Angtu is gonna make you feel good!” Tao grumbles a bit but accepts Angtu’s words, the two resorting to some more light fondling and cuddling in the baths for the remainder of the evening. Later that night the tribe has gathered around a large fire in a grand open space in the canyons near the watering hole. Tao’s horse is decorated with desert flowers as the little ones groom and pet it, whilst Arthur is lazily laying nearby engaged in a casual masturbation session with some of the locals. Food and drink are provided plentifully, and the tribesmen are performing a beautiful and sensual dance in front of the fire. Erections are displayed proudly as they bob into all directions, the dancers in synchronisation as their hands slide over each other’s bodies and fondle everywhere in rhythm with the music. It is an arousing sight that leaves no one unaffected. Tao sits with some of the locals at the tree logs surrounding the fire, laughing and chatting away as they casually grip each other’s penises, giving friendly little squeezes and tugs, completely comfortable with the public tokens of lust and affection. Then suddenly the music stops and Tao notices everyone looking at him and grinning, the cat boy suddenly feeling a lot more self-conscious as he has a feeling something is about to happen. A wreath of desert wildflowers is placed upon his head and a few markings are quickly drawn upon his body by handsome young tribesmen, Tao blushing like mad as he has a suspicion of what’s going on. Under loud musical escort, suddenly Angtu appears from the dancers in front of the flames, decorated richly with wildflowers and even more colourful markings as they glow in the dim light of the fire. Tao can already feel his dark cheeks start to blush as he has an inkling of what’s going on, his cock pushing the fabric of his red thong up lewdly for everyone to see as the hands of his previous companions withdraw and all eyes are now on the cat boy. Angtu starts to dance together with his fellow tribesmen, sensually placing the tree spirit in the foreground whilst the others provide background support. The tree spirit’s body contorts and twists in ways Tao has never seen before, the bioluminescent markings mesmerising him nearly into a hypnotic state. The world feels surreal and at the same time solely focused on the boy of Tao’s affections, the rest of the crowd and landscape blurring away in the background. Only their eyes and smiles exist now, one naughty and mischievous, the other full of surprise and wondrous admiration. Slowly, Angtu’s sensually moving body approaches Tao. The tree spirit boy grins from ear to ear, looking so radiant and happy as he performs for the boy he loves, circling Tao a few times and teasing him with the briefest and faintest of touches. Precum drips everywhere as Angtu’s uncut cock swipes through the air, its state and size suggesting the tree spirit may have hold off on ejaculating for quite a while now, maybe in preparation for tonight. Tao is squirming a little, not in embarrassment but simply because of the butterflies in his stomach. And the need rising within his loins through Angtu’s sensually lewd performance. Angtu slowly undresses Tao completely, touch by touch, until only the red thong remains. As the music suddenly rises in tension, Angtu then straddles Tao’s lap and reaches back and down, gently pulling the last piece of fabric aside to release the cat boy’s dripping stiff uncut cock, steering it under his tail. Under heavy drumroll, Angtu leans forwards and whispers a question to Tao with an unfamiliar nervous tremble in his voice:”Angtu loves Tao! Please become Angtu’s mate for life!?” Tao chuckles, also somewhat nervously, as he whispers back whilst his arms embrace Angtu and he firmly pulls him down onto his cock, piercing the tree spirit’s well-prepared hole:”Tao loves Angtu. Tao accepts.” There is loud cheering and an explosion of music when Tao penetrates Angtu, the tree spirit’s eyes thin slits as he nearly cries, sitting down onto his lover’s cock comfortably and excitedly grinding himself onto it out of sheer happiness. The whole tribe is cheering and encouraging the two lovers, dancing and masturbating or making love themselves in tribute to the newly formed mates. Angtu rides Tao swiftly and expertly, the tree spirit’s need apparent as his stiff cock bounces up and down in front of the cat boy’s face dripping precum everywhere. Tao muses bemusedly:”So that’s why he’s so pent up. He saved himself for me, for tonight. A feat in such a sexual environment and with him being the horndog he is.” Their lips find each other, plucking away teasingly and tenderly at first, but soon after locked into a passionate fiery kiss. Their tongues swirl around each other as Angtu and Tao close their eyes, the cheering and encouraging words of the tribe around them coaxing them to ever higher heights of lust and love. Hands, tongues, lips, teeth, dripping cocks, … all find their way onto the two lovers’ bodies and massage, tease, and coax them further on in their love making. Droplets of precum as well as full-blown cum land onto their bodies, pearling down their forms whilst they shimmer like diamonds in the light of the bonfire. The scent of male love and sex is in their air, intoxicating the both of them as Angtu’s ass cheeks smack down wetly into Tao’s lap, the natural lubricants of the other tribesmen aiding their union. Tao dislodges his lips from Angtu’s, the tree spirit’s eyes full of lust and need, their tongues remaining sticking out as a strand of saliva continues to connect them. The cat boy then grips both of the tree spirit’s breasts, giving the pecs a squeeze which causes the tribal boy to moan out and tighten his passage around Tao’s member, squeezing out some more precum. Tao grins naughtily as he leans up and places one of Angtu’s nipples between his lips, playfully nibbling and sucking on it whilst his hands now cup the boy’s ass, guiding him up and down his length. Foreskins are withdrawn and intricate symbols of fertility are drawn onto both Angtu and Tao’s bodies, using the tribesmen’s cocks as brushes with the spongy warm cock heads oozing the pleasantly warm precum as paint onto the newly formed mates. Both cat boy and tree spirit partake eagerly of the bounty of passion offered to them by the tribe as they fuck, Angtu riding Tao, both wanting to prolong the wonderful moment for as long as they can but feeling they can’t hold off much longer. Angtu leans down, hugging Tao’s head close to his chest:”Angtu… Angtu’s gonna cum!” Tao mumbles around the tree spirit’s nipple, biting down onto it a little harder to push his new mate over the edge:”Tao’s gonna cum too. Together. One… two…” An eruption of seed, cheers, and roars of ecstasy springs forth from the crowd and from the two lovers in the centre, Tao gripping Angtu’s ass and firmly pressing it down onto his crotch as his hot liquid love starts to pump deeply into his new mate’s insides. Angtu shrieks and chirrs somewhat higher-pitched, clutching Tao’s head as his cock erupts semen all over the cat boy’s chest, neck and face, showering his new mate in all the love he had been saving up for a week. Dozens upon dozens of virile men of all ages stand around them, pumping away on their cocks and cheering as volley after volley of tribal semen lands onto both Angtu and Tao. The scent of cum and sweat hangs dense in the air, both lovers coated in the love of the tribesmen as they continue to ride out their orgasms, grinding against each other like horny teenagers. Later on they lie together in Angtu’s small hut, the primitive bed a little cramped but the two lovers don’t give it any mind. The festivities are still going on without them present, tomorrow they’d spent an entire day of more celebrations with the tribe still. They had both orgasmed at least a dozen times, Angtu even more since he’d gone so long without ejaculation in preparation for the ceremony. Friends, family, neighbours, even Arthur the carriage driver, all had participated in congratulating the newly formed mates with a healthy dose of their strength. Strength being transferred by means of seed in the tribe. Eventually the two lovers had wanted some time alone, and with all blessings from the tribesmen received both inside and out, the two had freshened up at the communal pools before retiring to Angtu’s hut. Tao looks a little troubled as Angtu rests in his arms, the tree spirit noticing and drawing up an eyebrow as he asks:”Beautiful Tao look like old man. Wrinkles of thought. Something wrong?” Tao draws Angtu a little closer and relaxes his expression a bit, pecking a kiss on top of the tree spirit’s forehead:”No, Angtu. Tao is just thinking of the future. Of what Tao will do with the merchant business and the wagon trips.” Angtu is quiet for a few moments, then offers:”Angtu won’t stop Tao from making dreams come true. Maybe Angtu can travel with Tao sometimes? And Tao can stay with Angtu in tribe sometimes?” Tao chuckles and offers Angtu another nuzzle and kiss, their eyes closing as they lose themselves again for just a moment. The cat boy then withdraws and offers one of the most beautiful smiles he’s ever worn to the boy he loves:”No need to figure it all out right now. We’ll be happy whatever the future holds. Of that I’m sure!” Angtu grins and nods in response, regaining the mischievous glint in his eyes. He scoots up a little and then straddles Tao’s hips again, gently grinding back and forth onto his naked mate as both their members start to wake up from the friction:”Angtu knows! Angtu make love to Tao unto Tao too tired to leave. Every day! Problem solved!” Tao chuckles and grips Angtu’s hips, giving him an equally mischievous smile:”Sounds like a good plan. Let’s start tonight!”
