  "description": "Minor spoilers for book 3. Marle and Max get together. They each have some past baggage they need to work out. Here is a modified and edited scene (to remove plot spoilers) from the future book 3 of Legend of Ahya which was inspired by this image and ultimately included in the final text. Enjoy this scene of these two together.\n----\n“Max?”\n\n“I’m here.” His voice was off to the side.\n\n“Where? I can’t see?” The darkness from her past was clouding her vision. She fell back onto the bed and groped around for him, feeling like she had lost him.\n\n“I’m beside you.” She could feel the weight of his tiny body climb up onto the bed with her.\n\nHis face came into view and she could see his eyes. They were looking up at her horns as they normally did. It seemed he couldn’t focus well on her eyes alone. She tried to get a good look at those irises, they were a lovely shade of green. It was calming to her to get lost in those pools of color - like she knew she would be safe with him.\nHe was already naked. He had stripped already while she was adrift in the haze. “Marle, you’ll need to undress too or this isn’t going to work.”\n\nHer mind became clear for a brief moment. “Right. Of course.” Her hooves seemed to move on their own. Each article separated from her body and landed somewhere she knew not where. She didn’t care. She needed Max right now. “I’m ready.”\n\nShe lay back with legs spread, waiting for him to take her. She shut her eyes tightly as the evil whispers came back to taunt her, to remind her how badly this would hurt. The eyes of those surrounding to watch, they would laugh at her brays. They weren’t real. They weren’t here. Only Max was. He could make them go away. She opened her eyes again and was relieved to see just him once more.\n\nHe was hesitant too. He always did this. It was a hurdle for him to overcome. He did not like to be touched, but he needed to touch to get this done. He furtively reached out to feel her thighs, his fingers retracting for the briefest of moments. On second try, he let out a ragged sigh, forcing himself to lay both paws fully onto her legs. Closing his eyes, he left them there as he rubbed them softly back and forth. He was getting used to the touch and internalizing the feeling so he could tolerate it. He had explained this to her after their first time.\n\nShe saw his visual consideration was now given to her breasts while he helped spread her legs further while he maneuvered into position. Staring at her chest, he employed a breathing exercise to calm himself for what was to come next. He hadn’t even entered her yet, but Marle’s mind was already rebuilding itself as she watched him. They had done this enough times now it seemed to know what was coming next and that it would help, so it had already begun the process of returning the focus to her.\n\nThe entry was strong for them both. They shared a collective moan. He began his rhythm as she did her best to curl her long legs around him. She wanted to be ever closer to him, but her large body just would not allow it. She had to settle for this – watching him from a distance as he worked the magic that patched her thoughts back into coherency. The abhorrent voices disappeared into nothing and thoughts of her past were forgotten. She was free again.\n\n“That feels so good, Max. I feared it would be like fire, but it isn’t anymore. It won’t ever be again. Not with you.” She sat back relaxed, feeling more in tune with all her faculties.\n\n“I’m glad.” He stopped and pulled out.\n\n“Wait…! What are you doing? You’re not done!” She reached out for his arm, but he shied away.\n\n“But you are.” He pointed out, attempting to scoot off the bed.\n\n“Am I that repulsive to you that you find doing this with me disgusting? Is that why you’ve turned cold and distant to me?” That thought actually hurt her heart. Was she just some chore to be done and then forgotten about a moment later?\n\nHe didn’t hop off the bed yet, but left his legs dangling over the side. He didn’t turn to face her. “I realized very early on that you only needed the sex to ‘become normal’ again. I figured I was just a vessel to give you that. Nothing more. It’s just business now so we can move on.”\n\n“You make it sound like you didn’t have a choice. You seemed more eager for it when we started. You aren’t anymore. What changed?” She did not move forward, fearing he’d hop off and that’d be the end of it.\n\n“Because I began to feel used, Marle.” He turned his head slightly towards her. “I don’t like being touched or hugged, yet I was being asked to do a lot more than that for the sake of the group and our mission. At first, it was business and it was a means of helping you out. I felt you could use someone who cared and understood the trauma you went through.”\n\n“And I did.”\n\n“Don’t interrupt. I just… have a hard time thinking of what to say if I’m interrupted.” He took a deep breath and held it before releasing. Marle let him have this moment. “It was very hard then just as it is now, but I overcame my issues to help you. However, it changed because you made me comfortable with this part of myself. There’s not many people I can say that about. I don’t even like hugging my own siblings and yet here I am having sex with you. That made an impact on me.” He shifted to look more directly at her neck. “You had an impact on me.”\n\nMarle hadn’t realized tears had formed in her eyes and were trailing down her face. “Max… you made an impact on me too. You weren’t like other lovers. You were delicate, loving, caring and passionate. You poured your whole heart into it. I could see and feel it every time. Most guys I had done didn’t care and just plowed on like they were on the clock for a race. They didn’t care about me, just the end goal of nutting off. I’m sorry if I brought that mentality to our bed.”\n\n“Our bed?” His sounded confused.\n\n“It can be, if you want.” \n\nHer heart swelled. It was in that moment she realized something about Max: he never hid behind a façade. He expressed his emotions and thoughts clearly and without ulterior motive. His passion for her was genuine. She could learn to love this raccoon, quirks and all.\n\n“What are you implying? That you want to be with me… as in more than friends?” There was a glimmer in his eyes she couldn’t identify.\n\n“I’m saying that if you’ll have me, I don’t want any other in my bed. You satisfy me, Max.” She caught him in a small smile.\n\n“That’s a nice thought, Marle.”\n\nShe moved forward, and respecting his space only put a hoof by his leg and not on it. “Let’s continue on, but this time not to help me focus. Let’s do it just for us… for each other.”\n\nMax’s eyes were just as watery as hers as he seemed to mull things over. He looked down at her hoof and with a purposeful movement, set his own paw over it. “Then I want it to always be for us. You’re the only person in years I’ve ever been this intimate with. I’ve always had a hard time separating my emotions when it comes to this. I fell hard for each person I’ve made love to. Yes, love. For one of them it was just a quick fling, but it meant something more to me and it hurt when I found out I was nothing but a fix.”\n\n“Is that… is that what you felt was happening with me?” He gave a brief nod. Her heart broke at the implications she was giving him unknowingly this entire time. “I understand now. I’m sorry for what I’ve done to you.”\n\nMax shrugged. “I’ve been through worse. Now you know how I feel. I can recall every person I’ve ever been with. They remain with me long after they’re gone, because they still hold onto a piece of my heart and they don’t even realize it. My mom used to say that’s how my mind works and how I’m different from everyone else. This is why I never open myself up to anyone much sexually anymore, it’s too painful. I get too attached after even one night. I want it all or nothing. My mind and heart won’t accept anything less.”\n\n“Then accept me.” She shifted on the bed to place a leg on either side of him, scooting her rump up to his backside so she could place her arms around his small frame. He leaned back into her. “I’ll have you, Max Wolford. You can give your heart to me. You can have mine.”\n\nMax reached up and held onto her arms with his tiny paws. “Thank you, Marle.”\n\nThey stayed like that for a time. Neither could say how long it was. “Make love to me, Max.” She asked softly, whispering into his ears as they flicked at her breath.\n\nHe gave her arms a squeeze and turned to face her. He guided her onto her side as he straddled one leg. Nudging forward to be closer to her soft opening, he motioned for her to help him lift her other leg. He leaned into it, using it as support before entering into her once more. Gripping the backside of her raised knee, she leaned forward for a kiss. It was difficult to curl that far to reach him, but it was worth it.\n\nIt took him a moment to realize what she wanted, he paused his strokes and moved in to kiss her. They shared the briefest of licks, circling around each other’s tongues. He pulled back to examine her posture. “Aren’t you uncomfortable? That doesn’t look very therapeutic for your spine.”\n\nKeeping herself balanced with one arm, she held her ground. “I don’t care. I want to be close to you and if this is what I got to do to be intimate with you, I want to do it.”\nMax made a few pumping motions. “Aren’t we being intimate now?” He grinned.\n\n“Yes and no.” Marle knew her heart was lost. It was forever in the paws of this raccoon. “That’s just physical. I want to be close emotionally. Let the world spin outside those doors. Let’s enjoy this moment together.”\n\nHe resumed his movement and shifted his paw to be atop hers behind the knee as she pulled herself forward again for another kiss. This one more passionate than the first. His other paw began to rove about her stomach, rising tentatively towards a breast, then the other. She allowed him this freedom to explore. She was his and he was hers. This was their bed.\n\nMax Thrash character licensed to me by: Drummermax64\n\nArt Done by: Amarihel - FurAffinity Account: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/amarihel",
  "description_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>Minor spoilers for book 3. Marle and Max get together. They each have some past baggage they need to work out. Here is a modified and edited scene (to remove plot spoilers) from the future book 3 of Legend of Ahya which was inspired by this image and ultimately included in the final text. Enjoy this scene of these two together.<br />----<br />&ldquo;Max?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m here.&rdquo; His voice was off to the side.<br /><br />&ldquo;Where? I can&rsquo;t see?&rdquo; The darkness from her past was clouding her vision. She fell back onto the bed and groped around for him, feeling like she had lost him.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m beside you.&rdquo; She could feel the weight of his tiny body climb up onto the bed with her.<br /><br />His face came into view and she could see his eyes. They were looking up at her horns as they normally did. It seemed he couldn&rsquo;t focus well on her eyes alone. She tried to get a good look at those irises, they were a lovely shade of green. It was calming to her to get lost in those pools of color - like she knew she would be safe with him.<br />He was already naked. He had stripped already while she was adrift in the haze. &ldquo;Marle, you&rsquo;ll need to undress too or this isn&rsquo;t going to work.&rdquo;<br /><br />Her mind became clear for a brief moment. &ldquo;Right. Of course.&rdquo; Her hooves seemed to move on their own. Each article separated from her body and landed somewhere she knew not where. She didn&rsquo;t care. She needed Max right now. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m ready.&rdquo;<br /><br />She lay back with legs spread, waiting for him to take her. She shut her eyes tightly as the evil whispers came back to taunt her, to remind her how badly this would hurt. The eyes of those surrounding to watch, they would laugh at her brays. They weren&rsquo;t real. They weren&rsquo;t here. Only Max was. He could make them go away. She opened her eyes again and was relieved to see just him once more.<br /><br />He was hesitant too. He always did this. It was a hurdle for him to overcome. He did not like to be touched, but he needed to touch to get this done. He furtively reached out to feel her thighs, his fingers retracting for the briefest of moments. On second try, he let out a ragged sigh, forcing himself to lay both paws fully onto her legs.
