Chapter 9

Sonic glanced at the alarm clock on the nightstand before burying his face into the mattress. It has been about an hour or so since he ran off, butt naked and dripping in an attempt to keep the eyes of mystery man number one off of him.

"Chaos, what is going on with me?..." he muttered, the mattress muffling his whines. "It hasn't even been a day since i was scared someone would see my ass in that stupid dress and now i'm getting caught having sex in broad daylight with a guy i barely know by another guy i don't even know."

Sonic rolled over and stared at the ceiling.

"I'm becoming a slut... My mom would kill me..."

Sonic sighed before sitting up and sliding off the bed. His plan, which he came up with while breaking the sound barriar on the way to Shadow's room, was to shower, get dressed, and hide until the emabressment died down. Or until a  hole sprouted in the bedroom floor and swallowed him whole, which ever happened first. Unfortunately, the floor held no mercy for him and he knew from experience that the blush wasn't going to fade until that memory was completely wiped from his mind.

Which meant he was going to die with a blush on his face.

Once dressed in a second set of, borrowed, clothing, Sonic decided to grab the bull by the horns and made his way downstairs. He padded his way downstairs barefooted and peeked into Shadow's study. The hyper fox did stop by a few minutes after he ran off and told him he should wait there because Shadow had some business to take care of... It was so hard not to think that he just didn't want Sonic sneaking away before he was able to tell him straight how disgusted he was with him for acting in such ways. Shadow obviously wanted to tell him that he had changed his mind about spending the weekend together and that he'd call him a cab, but he had to go before he made him sick. Yep.

Sonic shook his head and tugged at his own ear. 

'Stop thinking that way Sonic. He can't get disgusted at you for something he started right? You already knew this wasn't gonna be permanent so take your lumps like the herm that you are. It's surprising enough that he slept with you twice, no need to get greedy and want more then some shamless sex'

Sonic nodded. His inner voice made sense but it didn't make him feel any better... Of course he knew it wasn't going to grow into anything more then that but that didn't stop him from hoping... Even though he was a closet romantic, even he had a hard time believing Shadow wouldn't get bored with him and move on once this weekend was over. Or even sooner for that matter. Sure the sex was amazing, but Shadow could have amazing sex with anyone he wanted at anytime so he really didn't need Sonic around.

Sonic rubbed under his nose with a slight sniffle before taking a deep breath and walking into the study, surprised to see Shadow back already. Whatever errand he had to do must not have taken that long....

Shadow looked up and stared at Sonic with those burning red eyes of his. The shirt was fine but the pants was too big everywhere except for his butt so his navel tend to play peek a boo every once in a while if he didn't pay enough attention. First time too.

Sonic tugged at the shirt collor nervously. He could feel Shadow's gaze on him and it made him incredibly figdety. Sonic coughed to clear his throat before speaking up.

"Thanks for the new clothes... I feel like i'm raiding the closet of every female you know..." And then it occured to Sonic exactly how many females Shadow would know and quickly changed the subject.

"Catching up on some paperwork?"

The sly smile on Shadow's face told him that his ploy was incredibly obvious, but he played along anyways.

"No, my manager ins in charge of the club for the weekend. This was just something to keep me busy until you decided to come back down"

Sonic looked away and scratched the back of his head with one hand while the other stuffed it self in the jeans pocket before pulling back out. Pushing down that particular garment would not be a very good idea, although, judging from Shadow's glowing eyes, it would seem he was all for the pants coming off. 

Of course.

"So, um, i'm dressed.... What next? I'm not really hungry for pizza, but we can go see a movie together... There was this new horror that just came out."

Shadow tapped his claws on the desk before standing up and taking his hand, tugging him away from the door and onto the sofa. Shadow sat next to him but didn't say anything which made Sonic nervous.

Ok more nervous. Extrememly nervous.

"Something... came up right?... And that's why your friend popped in..." The memory made him flinch. He really did think he was a slut.... "That's fine, i understand. You'll be busy and we have to reschedule. It's ok just call me when you're available and we meet up then. Let me just call myself a cab and-"

Before Sonic could even make it off the sofa, Shadow's hand closed around his arm and pulled him straight onto his lap. This time he held the smaller blue Breeder in place.

"You're not going anywhere," Shadow purred out and Sonic could see his eyes were doing that glowy thing again. "We're going to be busy this weekend. I am no where near done with you yet"

Sonic stared at the other with wide eyes as he thought about the ache between his legs...

"We've got a lot to talk about, so you're gonna get the sort condensed version. Listen carefully"

Was the disappointment he felt once Shadow clarified that when he said 'we're not done yet' he actually meant talking rather then sex? Well if more sex did arouse him, he'd be a masochist because walking was already becoming an interesting challenge. However, his dominate female hormones dictate that the thought of sex with your dream man must arouse you at least a little bit.

"Alright.. But do i have to be on your lap?"

Shadow grip on him tightened a bit. "Yes. Now you ran off before you got to hear anything of what Mephiles had to tell me-"

Sonic blinked before frowning and crossing his arms, as the blush made its way back onto his face. "I don't wanna talk about that"

Shadow looked confused. "Why not?"

Sonic really wished he lived in the same world as his Lycan lover.... He looked down at the leather sofa with a baleful glare.

"Because i find it embaressing to remember being caught completely naked in the hallway after just having sex with a man i just officially met by another man i've never met" Sonic  paused and directed his glare towards him. "But maybe i'm just funny like that"

Shadow's chuckle made his eye twitch and a hand fly towards his face but he caught his wrist before he could get that satisfying smack on him. "Oh, i see"

He took Sonic's fingers into his mouth and sucked on them a bit which only made the blue hedgehog angrier. How dare he get him horny while that embaressment was still in his head.

"Ah, you're not being funny, just a mortal," Shadow said with a grin. "I'm sorry, i keep forgetting that quirk of yours"

"Quirk?"

Shadow ignored the growl and released his hand to pull at the shirt collar a bit and look over the bite mark. Sonic cleaned it off when he was changing only to notice that the bite had barely broken his skin. It looked worse then it actually was.

"Mhm, quirk" Shadow hummed, rubbing a thumb on his shoulder and base of his neck, getting a slight shiver out of the blue one. "It's so easy for me to foget you're mortal when you smell so good... But then you get all upset and embaressed over natural things like sex and nudity and it all rushes back to me. You people are so weird about that"

"Weird??"

"Weird," Shadow repeated then leaned forward and ran his tongue over the small bruise, making Sonic tense in his grip. "Lycans aren't embaressed by our bodies. We do come into this world naked after all. The only reason we were clothes is because it can get pretty cold at certain parts of the year if we don't plan on staying in our wolf forms the whole time"

"Their are laws as well"

"Yes but those laws don't apply for the males now do they?"

Sonic huffed through his nose as Shadow smirked.

"As for the sex, it's silly to be embaressed about that. It's natural, healthy and oh so much fun. Everyone does it at one point or another. If they didn't then how would the species survive? When you think about it that way, its so hard to see the reasoning behind the inhibitions you mortals like to wrap yourselves in"

"I'm not wrapped in inhibitions...." Sonic protested as he squirmed and tried to keep hold of what little dignity he had left. Shadow figured out all his spots way too quickly and, of course, was using this knowledge for evil. "I'm not shamed of sex. But that doesn't mean i some guy i don't know to come face to face with the fact that i've been doing it"

Shadow grinned against his neck and slipped a hand into his jeans, running his fingers over his furry slit before they slipped between his labia and pressed against the moist treasure hidden there. 

Sonic stiffened.

"That's alright sweety~ I don't mind being private with you~ In fact, i quite like the idea of having you all to myself..." he purred licking at his shoulder and nuzzling up to Sonic's twitchy ear.

The obvious possessive tone in Shadow's voice sent shivers down his spine. Didn't he say they needed to talk though? Because there was no way he'd be able to consentrate on what he was saying with his hand there!

Sonic looked at the hand between his legs stiffly before grabbing his wrist and trying to pull it out to no avail.

'Fuckfuckfuckfuck'

"Now now, just relax..." he cooed as he slipped his finger in deep being mindful to be careful of his claws. He was so warm and wet and his scent.... "Let me touch you... It's been too long since i touched you"

Sonic  bit his lower lip to stop his moans. Too long? It's only been about 2 hours... If that was too long for him then he was gonna end up killing him with exhaustion by the end of the day.

"O-oh R-really?... H-has it?...."

"Mhm... You were so tight for me Sonic... I'm afriad i might hurt you unless i keep you nice and relaxed and opened for me" Shadow nibbled on his ear as he moved his finger in and out slowly, rubbing along his inner walls.

Sonic panted and twitched and fidgeted on Shadow's lap. Each stroke was torture, he felt like his vagina was on fire... And then he felt 2 more fingers join the one, three fingers stretching him out and pumping in and out of him.

'Shiiiit....'

Sonic could feel himself tighten around the intruding fingers. "No no, i said you have to stay relaxed" Shadow mumbled against his ear as his free hand ran up his shirt and massaged his chest. "Just let yourself go. I'll take good care of you~"

Sonic gasped and turned his head away. Dear lord it felt painfully good. He was still sore but it the stinging added to the pleasure. He really was gonna lose it. "Shadow...!"

His fingers continued to move against him as Sonic whined and whimpered in Shadow's lap. His tongue ran over the small bite mark he left on his shoulder earier that day, and his voice... so sultry and hot, it was like hearing the voice of temptation himself.

"I'll always be here to take care of you beautiful... I'll make sure you're always safe and happy and so wonderfully wet"

Sonic's ears twitched at his words. Honestly, he was barely registering them. All he knew at the moment is that he was so close.... And the pants rubbing against his dick felt... odd. "Shadow..." he whined, trying to press himself against the fingers more.

"Oh my dear sweet Sonic..." he purred against him lightly before that purr trned into a growl. A possessive growl. "You had no idea what you were in for the moment you left home did you"

Tears started to prick the corner of his eyes. This was torture. Torture he never wanted to stop. It was confusing and arousing and just made him dizzy with want and pleasure.

"Once a werebeast gets their claws on someone they want they never let go..." Shadow's fingers moved and arched inside him, making him let out a startled gasp. His legs shook and his eyes closed tightly, ears folding submissively.

"A werebeast never shares. Only i am allowed to see you like this. To touch you like this. I'll kill anyone else who tries" he snarled then moved his hands from his chest to his chin and held his face steady. "Would you like to know why?" 

Sonic opened one eye slightly. He saw the intensity in Shadow's glowing red eyes and felt Shadow press his lips against his own. "That's because you. Are. My. Mate!"

One final thrust of the fingers and Sonic feel apart with a yell that got swallowed by Shadows hungry kiss. His legs twitched and trumbled as his orgasm washed him away, his hands gripping on Shadow's shirt and thigh for dear life.

That was pretty intense...

Shadow pulled his fingers out before breaking the kiss and thing line a saliva connecting them until Shadow licked his own lips then his fingers. Sonic panted and swayed a bit on his lap. Shadow pulled him close to his chest and stroked at his ear with his clean hand.

It took a few moments but once Sonic was able to get the lust fog out and his brain working again....

"Wait a minute. I'm your what?"

Sonic's head shot up so fast, he hit Shadow square in the face with his head.

"Oof, my mate- Hey calm down, before you actually manga to hurt me" he said holding Sonic still before he tried scrambling away again. Shadow frowned. "Anyways as i was saying-"

"Woah there buddy! I don't want you saying anything else unless you decide to start actually making sense! Now let me-!"

Shadow interrupted him this time by shaking him gently. "I'm trying to explain myself here but you need to calm down behave and let me talk"

Sonic shut his trap but he was still glaring daggers.

"Now then, if you had let me explain what Mephiles came to tell me-"

"Let you explain?? Excuse me?! Who stuck who's hand down whos pants asshole!"

Shadow clamped a hand over his mouth and gave him a look. "Anyways," he continued, making sure to cup his hand to avoid small sharp hedgehog fangs, "Mephiles has been tell me about a particular someone who's been stirring up trouble within the clan. Now normally, i wouldn't bother telling you any of this but seeing how i have no idea what may happen next, i feel i should give you some warning so you won't be caught off guard"

Sonic blinked. Caught off guard. He's supposed to be on guard? He just raised an eyeridge and perked his ears forward to show he was listening.

"Mephiles has been  keeping me up to date on what one of the lesser members of the clan has been upto. Unfortunately, said member is my cousin Scourge."

Scourge? Sonic frowned and furrowed his eyebrows before nodding at him to continue.

"Scourge thinks he'd make a better Alpha then me."

Sonic snorted and Shaodw just smirked.

"I know right? Anyways, our clan in particular opperates a lot like wolf packs... We don't elect a new alpha or anything like that. The Alpha is chosen by being the strongest and if anyone wants to become the new Alpha, they would have to beat the old one in a fight to prove their worthiness. Even though my father decided to retire, i still had to fight him to prove my strength. And theres no way Scourge could beat me in a fight, fair or foul, and he knows this"

Sonic rolled his eyes at Shadow's cocky behavior. Though a small part of him believed that was definitely true....

"So like the coward that he is," Shadow continued, "He's been trying to use manipulation and treachery instead of just a good ol' fashion challenge. It seems lately he's been trying to get the clan to turn on me in hopes of having me kicked off the position. If I were to get ousted by a popular uprising, there would be a massive power vaccum in which any male with more balls then brains would attack anything that moved for the position"

Sonic grimnaced. That didn't sound good.... 

Shadow saw his expression and nodded. "It would be a mess. not to metion that kin dof infighting would just drain time, resources and energy we should be using to focus on the Revealing with the other Supernatural folks"

'Revealing?'

"The Revealing is a turm used to refer to the public announcement of who we really are to the mortals" Shadow explained noticing Sonic's confused expression. "A lot of us think its only a matter of time before it happens. And i am one of them... We can't hide forever and i see no reason why we should in this day and age. At the very least, if we reveal ourselves to the mortals we'd be the ones in control of what happens next"

Sonic nodded. True true... He understood where he was getting at... but he was getting tired of not being able to talk. He muttered something but was ignored.

"Mephiles came over to tell me that Scourge had went and gatehered up 3 of the most well respected elders in the clan. I supposed his intentions were to show me that he had the elders on his side and therefore, the entirety of the clan. It didn't go the way he wanted it to mind you but i can assume thats what he was planning... And he wasn't too keen on the fact that his plan ended in failure. Unfortunately, because of his plot i had to give some new a bit prematurely..." Shadow frowned. "And this is where you come in...."

Sonic's ears perked "?"

"Theres this very old tradition saying how only a Lycan with a mate can be Alpha. My cousin thought he could use the fact that i'm mateless against me. Finding a mate and having pups is incredibly important to our culture. If he played his cards right, he could've been able to win enough support and make my life so misreable i'd almost want to step down"

"Pfft"

"I said almost. But yeah, he brought this up in front of the elders and made it basically impossible for me to keep the news to myself any longer..." Shadow stared at Sonic with intense red eyes that made his stomach to a flip.

Where was he going with this...

"I didn't want to announce it so soon. I knew you would need more time to swallow the news yourself.. But it just kinda slipped out so i don't have much a choice anymore. Besides time can't change the truth"

What the hell was he going on about??

"the truth being, the news was a huge blow to Scourge and his plans. I probably pissed him off a bit too and i don't want you getting caught in a crossfire. You need to be prepared, chances are the news has already spread through the clan and i want you to hear this directly from me"

If he didn't stop talking like this he was gonna take a huge bite out of his fucking hand...

"WHAT NEWS?!?!" he yelled though most of it was muffled by Shadow's hand

"His old reasons to want me booted no longer applies becuase i do have a mate. I have you."

Sonic stared with an unreadable expression for what seemed like ages before the hedgehog teeth buried themselves into the palm of his hand. Hard.
"Fuck!" Shadow pulled his hand back reflexively and started at the little blood he managed to draw, surprised more then anything. "What the hell was that for you little savage?"

Sonic jumped off his lap and stood over him, arms crossed and tiny fangs bared. 

"I'M the savage?!? You're calling me the savage when you basically just whacked me over the head and dragged me into your cave of lust and sin?!?" Figuratively of course. "Since when do you "have" me?? Did i miss the part where i get to say who's "mate" i get to be??"

Shadow licked at the wound on his hand and gave Sonic an impassive look which just made his temper worse.

"I'm a Lycan. It's not like being the mate of a werehog is up for vote"

"Yeah, that right there. I am NOT the mate of a werehog. I don't remember being anything of the sort" Sonic growled.

Shadow relaxed on the couch and his lips twitched into a sly smile. "I can easily remind you if you don't mind ruining another outfit..."

"Asshole," Sonic clenched his teeth. "That was sex. The way you're discribe it sounds like its a lot more then that. You're getting all.... noun-y with it"

Shadow raised an eyeridge and threw one arm over the back of the couch. "What's your point"

"MY POINT," Sonic ran a hand through his own quills. "My point is you can't just announce i'm your mate. That's like just out right saying that we're married. You are supposed to ask first"

Shadow actually the nerve to look confused. "Ask?... What? That has absolutely nothing to do with a mate-bond. No Lycan asks to be someones mate, it just happens"

How dare he be confused while he himself was angry.

"Well seeing how you may have forgotten this little fact, I am NOT A LYCAN" Sonic glared and stood up as tall as he could. "Where i come from, wanting to spend your entire life with one person is a 2 way street buddy! Don't treat me like one of your groupies, i don't take orders from men who can't even respect me enough to ask me about these things before they happen!"

"Groupies?...." Shadow blinked confused then shook his head. "Look, im trying to say your opinion doesn't matter," he held his hand up before Sonic went off again, "But neither does mine. We're mates. It's just a fact. Its not something we can negotiate or back out of"

Sonic's eye twitched. 

"Look. You seem to be forgetting something very important here. Again. You're telling me how things work in your world. I am not apart of that world. You may have to follow these traditions but i don't. I could just leave and you'd never see me again. I'd just pretned these last few hours didn't happen"

Shadow frowned and his lip curled back into a snarl.

"Is that so..." he rumbled, his tone dangerously dark and filled with anger. "You think i'd just sit back and let you leave knowing that you're my mate? You're not that dumb Sonic"

His tone made his fur stand on end but he ignored it and glared. "I think that you're insane if you think a few hours of sex makes us mates! Because i sure as hell dont!"

Shadow's expression changed instantly from anger to surprise. "Is that what this is about?"

The genuine shock made Sonic's anger dull a bit, his arms falling to his sides. "What?"

Shadow chuckled and pulled him onto the couch. "You think this is only about sex"

Sonic blinked then pouted. "Am i wrong? I mean everytime we're together you're basically trying to get into my pants." Or tear through them. "I don't know you that well, we might as well be strangers. I don't even know if you have a family or anything"

Shadow's amused smile turned into a grin, the kind that made Sonic almost forget why he was upset in the first place.

"My parents are retired. I have 2 brothers, an older brother and a younger brother. My older brother is a traveler with his mate, they never stay in one place for long and my younger brother is living with my parents. A few aunts, uncles and cousins..." He wrapped his arms around the blue hedgehog and pulled him close, pressing his muzzle against Sonic's then caught his green eyes with his own. "And one very sexy mate"

Shadow pressed his lips against Sonic's, it was amazing how their lips tend to meld together like a puzzle peice but then Sonic pulled away suddenly and shook his head.

"Uh uh, don't try to turn this into more sex" He doubt he could handle it at the moment anyways.

Shadow gave him a comical pout. "Aww but i only have about 36 more hours before you have to leave... We shouldn't waste it~"

"How is 36 more hours of sex supposed to convince me that this isn't all about sex" Sonic grumbled

The next pout wasn't as comical. "I don't know how many times you want me to say that it isn't. You're not just a body for me to play with, you're my mate. We're fated to be together... Not like i have ID cards or anything so how am i supposed to convince you? Want me to take a lie detector test?"

Sonic gave him an unsympathetic look. "How about you start by telling me how you came to the conclusion that I, of all people, amy your mate based on knowing me me for about.... 13 hours" he said glancing at a clock near by

Shadow let him go and slumped back on the couch before giving the breeder a soft glare. "I just know. It's a Lycan thing"

"And i wouldn't understand?" Sonic dry tone made Shadow frown.

He started to tap his fingers against the leather couch cusion impatiently. "I didn't say that... But you might not believe me if i told you"

Sonic put a hand on his own waist then poked Shadow's chest, eyes locked on his. "You won't know til you try me"
