", "description_bbcode_parsed": "Raph and Leo make their way to the turtle tribe. ", "writing": "It was pouring rain so the small group of turtles stopped to find shelter. They parked the wagon under a tree in an attempt to keep their supplies dry and to keep the horses safe. They had been traveling for a week and there was no sign that they were being followed by the turtle hunter. Leonardo had spent the majority of that time mourning, keeping his distance from the others.\n\nTurtles loved the water. Most tribes lived near a river or a lake and rain was celebrated. The other turtles had all stripped off their clothes so that the cool rain could wash their parched bodies. Leonardo was reluctant at first, he was taught to keep his body covered at all times, but Raphael’s teasing soon had Leo casting off his inhibitions along with his clothes. \n\nThere was no thunder with the light rain so the turtles took full advantage, dancing and playing as it washed over their bodies. \n\nLeonardo learned that turtles usually danced in the rain and was taught a few traditional dances. He found himself genuinely laughing for the first time in years, despite his current pain. He danced and spun with the others, letting himself get caught up in the moment. The elderly one had even joined in the merriment. \n\nThe children were unable to keep up with the adults and were soon falling asleep on their feet. A small lean-to was constructed out of branches and large leaves for them to sleep under. The elder also decided to rest, sitting down next to the children with his back against the tree for support. Closing his eyes, he started to doze. Once the children were settled, the movements in the dancing changed. \n\nOne of the young adult males moved close to Leo to help him through some of his movements. His body pressed close to Leo’s and his plastron scrapped against Leo’s carapace. The resulting vibrations made Leo’s body tingle. One moment they were dancing and laughing and in the next they were kissing. For a moment it felt right, it felt natural and Leo found himself returning the kiss. But then he realized what was happening and he pulled away. He didn’t want to form any sort of bond with them.\n\nRaphael said something in the native language and laughed as Leo looked at the other turtle in shock. The other turtle said something and reached out his hand but Leo shook his head. Still a little stunned, Leonardo walked over to the wagon and sat down with his back against it. He was no longer in the mood for dancing. \n\nRaph continued to talk to the other turtles as he walked over to the wagon. After removing his jacket from the wagon, Raphael sat next to Leo and draped it over the two of them. “He just wanted to see. He meant no harm.”\n\nLeo kept himself turned away from Raph but did not move out from under the coat. “What was it that he wanted to see?”\n\n“He knows you hurt. Turtles love,” Raph explained. “We… are open with love. He was welcoming you into tribe. Wanted to make you feel good.”\n\n“We are not a tribe,” Leo scoffed. \n\n“No,” Raph agreed. “But they journey to join another. One by town we travel to. They want us to join them.”\n\n“I don’t want to be part of a tribe,” Leo said, resting his chin on his knees. “I want my farm back.”\n\n“Why not both?” Raph asked as he leaned in close. Leo could feel Raph’s hot breath on his neck and it caused a shiver to run down his spine. “Is good to be part of tribe.”\n\n“I have never been around other turtles before,” Leo admitted. “This is all strange to me and a little bit frightening. I don’t want to get attached to anyone again. Everyone I have ever loved is dead. I’m not going to risk it until I know I have beaten Saki.”\n\nRaph’s hand came up to caress Leo’s shoulder. “I understand.”\n\nLeo turned to look at Raph and could see the sadness in his eyes. “You loved that man you were with when you were captured.”\n\n“Yes,” Raph nodded. Placing his hand on his chest, Raph pointed to the bullet-hole scars. “Before Trax, was Casey. We were shot. I live, he died. Before that, I was only child when tribe was captured and killed. I was made slave. I could hear screams, every night, and I could do nothing. I too do not want to love again. But.” A slight smile spread across his beak. “We don’t need love to comfort. Yes? We live in moment and take joy from it. It may be our last.” \n\nUnderstanding the hidden meaning in Raph’s words, Leo felt his face heat up. He remembered Usagi saying something along the same lines. Why hold back when it could be your last chance to live? “As long as we don’t fall in love,” Leo agreed with a nod. \n\n“You want to have some real fun in rain?” Raph whispered in Leo’s ear. “We can join them.”\n\nLeo looked out at the others. Two of the three young adult turtles were lying down on their sides, in the mud. Leo had a clear view of their coupling and they didn’t seem to care that the others could see them. The scent of their arousal carried on the wind, fogging Leo’s mind. The third one joined in, rubbing the receiving turtle’s bobbing erection. \n\nRaph’s hand dipped between Leo’s legs as he nuzzled Leo’s neck. A churr sounded from Leo and the heat in his face intensified. “I don’t know if I’m ready… to… be with… more than one.”\n\n“Just you and me,” Raph husked, before he started to suck on Leo’s neck at the pulse point. \n\nCoaxing Leo up on his knees, Raph pressed up close behind him. The hand between Leo’s legs found his tail and Raph slipped his fingers inside of Leo’s cloaca. Leo called out in ecstasy as the coat dropped to the ground. Some of the cold rain made its way through the branches to fall on Leo’s heated flesh, causing him to shiver from both the chill and anticipation. \n\nWith a yearning desire Leo pushed back against Raph, scraping his carapace against Raph’s plastron. The resulting vibrations caused Leo to churr. \n\nRaph coaxed Leo’s penis out, pumping it with one hand while the other continued to finger inside his tail. Needing to use the wagon for support, Leo called out again. Raph’s touch and scent were overwhelmingly arousing. All Leonardo wanted in that moment was to feel Raph. Nothing else mattered. \n\nIt wasn’t long before Leo got what he desired. Raph’s finger left Leo’s tail and was soon replaced with his hardening penis. With slow even thrusts, Raph pushed himself deeper into Leo. Willing himself to relax, Leo felt his body stretch to fit Raph’s girth. Leo was able to lose himself in the moment, allowing all of his worry, grief, and pain to melt away. \n\nRaphael continued to lavish Leonardo with attention, bringing him closer to the edge. Muscles clenched and moved on their own as Leo lost control over his body. Raph’s deep churrs vibrated through Leo’s carapace and Leo pressed back against him. \n\nThey moved together, grunting and trusting to achieve their release. Leo fell forward as his orgasm struck so he could grind his ass against Raph in an attempt to take him in deeper. Churring at the sudden increase in tightness, Raph thrust fast and hard into Leo. \n\nLeo could feel Raph swell and pulsate inside of him as the hot fluid filled him. The scent of their combined sex flooded his senses. It was intoxicating. He lay in a numb stupor, allowing the rush of endorphins to take their effect. He felt like a lead blanket had been draped over him. Part of him wished that it would last forever. \n\nRaph flopped to the ground next to Leo. His chest was heaving and his body radiated warmth. So much so that Leo swore that he could see steam. Or maybe it was the result of his sex addled mind and blurred vision. \n\nAfter a while, Leo pushed himself off the ground and stepped out into the rain to wash as much as he could from his body. It had been only a temporary reprieve from his pain. Once the high was gone and his mind cleared, it all came rushing back. \n\n“If the rain doesn’t let up soon, we will have to push through it,” Leo stated. \n\n“You know is stupid,” Raph argued. “Horses could get hurt. Then we have no way to pull wagon. We wait.”\n\n“Then you guys should at least get some sleep,” Leo said, making his way back over to the wagon to retrieve his gun. “I will keep watch, just in case.\"\n\n“I sit with you,” Raph offered as he stood and picked up his coat.\n\n“Stop being nice,” Leo warned and attempted to hide his smile. “I already told you that I don’t want to get attached.” He got up in the driver’s seat of the wagon and got himself comfortable. “We’ll travel together until we reach the tribe. After that, we part ways. I need to find a way to get a message to the county officials without Saki knowing I’m there.”\n\nRaph pointed at himself with his thumb. “I got… deal to… do… Saki too. I… fix mistake.” Raph tended to fumble over his words when he got riled up. “I go to town to take back….” He snapped his fingers as he thought of what he wanted to say. “Papers. I take back papers.”\n\n“So he’s got something that belongs to you?” Leo asked as he reached into the wagon for his hat. He didn’t mind the rain. He was simply getting tired of it hitting his face. \n\nShaking his head, Raph made his way up to sit next to Leo. “Casey,” Raph reminded Leo of who he was by touching the scars on his plastron, “went into town to find job. Saki gave him job to take papers. I helped. We gave Saki papers. He shoot us.”\n\n“To cover his tracks,” Leo nodded. “He couldn’t have you and Casey talking about the job. No one could know that the papers were stolen. It was the same with my parents. He made their deaths look like and accident. I’m sure he killed the men he hired to do it.”\n\n“I want to fix,” Raph insisted. “Get papers back.”\n\n“That’s gonna be hard to do,” Leo said, leaning back. “Saki’s place is going to be secure. How about instead, you wait for the county official with me. You can tell them that you stole the papers for Saki.”\n\nRaph scoffed, “They put me in cage.”\n\n“You’re right,” Leo sighed. “You would be arrested. And being a turtle you would not be treated fairly.”\n\n“So I take,” Raph said, leaning in and clinching his fist. “I can open…,” Raph turned his hand as he thought of the word. “The box with the thing that turns.”\n\n“A safe?” Leo ventured to guess. \n\n“Yes that,” Raph answered. “Casey show me.”\n\nLeo shook his head. “I don’t know. That’s not going to be easy. He’s a powerful man.”\n\n“We do together.” Raph nudged Leo with his hand. “Fate made you and me meet… for this. We help each other.”\n\n“Maybe.” Leo wiped the tears from his eyes as he thought over Raph’s words. “We will do what is right or die trying. Saki can’t be allowed to win. He will only hurt more people if he does.”\n\n“Good,” Raph smiled. \n\n….\n\nOnce the rain stopped they set out on their way again. Leo guided the horses as the others slept, making sure to keep an eye out for anything on the path that could hurt the horses. When he was too tired to continue Leo handed over the reins to one of the others. \n\nRaph sat in the wagon and watched Leo sleep. As much as he didn’t want to, he couldn’t help but feel a kinship with him. He believed that they were meant to meet. They had both suffered in life but had somehow managed to come through with a good heart. Lesser men would have become jaded and used their past as an excuse to hurt others. \n\n“He is still suffering the loss of the one he was with,” the elder turtle stated. “It was a traumatic death for him.”\n\nNodding his head in agreement, Raph replied, “He is suffering. His story is a sad one.”\n\n“Yours is equally sad,” the elder pointed out. “Yet you seem to be handling your grief better.”\n\nKeeping his eyes on Leo, Raph sighed and leaned back against the wagon. The sounds of the squeaking wheels on the gravely road filled the silence. He thought about how best to explain what he was going through. “Traximus was a man of fate, traveling the land to make amends for a lifetime of misdeeds. He often told me that death would be his final penance. He believed that he deserved to die for all he had done but that fate was giving him a chance to redeem himself and save his soul. I like to think that he had managed to repay his debt and that he has found peace. He was in my life for a reason and that was to teach me to be better. I cherish my time with him. I have done something that needs to be corrected before I can find my peace. It’s up to fate to decide if I live through it or not.”\n\n….\n\nAfter a month of traveling together, the small group of turtles reached their destination. The sun was setting, casting an orange hue over the western horizon that faded to a deep purple in the east. Small fires could be seen among the small huts the natives called home. Goats bleated in the distance and a horse whinnied, causing the ones pulling the cart to answer.\n\nLeonardo pulled the wagon to a halt on the outskirts of the village. By the time he stepped down from the driver’s seat, several of the tribes’ men came out to greet them. Raphael walked up to stand next to Leo and placed a hand on his shoulder in a gesture of comfort. Dressed in their settler styled clothing, Leo and Raph stood out among the tribes’ people.\n\nThe elder turtle stepped forward and started talking. Leo had no idea what was being said but he guessed it was a brief rundown of how they had gotten there. The tribe welcomed them and guided them through the village to sit near one of the fires while others took care of the horses and wagon. Leo was glad that he had pulled his bag from among the supplies. \n\nLeonardo sat in silence as the others spoke. Every so often he would hear his name come up as they spoke and members of the tribe would look at him with sorrow in their eyes. After a while Leo leaned close to Raph. “Did you tell them what I need to do?”\n\nWith a nod of his head, Raph answered, “Yeah. One of tribe lives in town. He comes in morning. You talk.”\n\n“I’m hoping that he knows the common language better than you,” Leo teased. \n\nRaph snorted out a laugh. “I speak good.”\n\nLeo could only chuckle in response.\n\nThey were given warm flat bread with goat cheese, vegetables, and seaweed wrapped fish to eat. Leo didn’t think that he would ever savor the taste of fish. He didn’t know what they did to it but it melted in his mouth. \n\nAs they finished eating, Leo noticed that there was a great deal of nodding going on. Several other members of the tribe had gathered around and some of them were being addressed. Once again Leo leaned in close to Raph. “What’s going on?”\n\nRaph looked at Leo and pointed to the gathering of turtles while he spoke through a mouth full of bread and cheese. “The... uh… they will… pick… mate now.”\n\n“Mate?” Leo asked and looked at the other turtles. \n\n“New blood,” Raph explained, indicating their small group. “Add to tribe.”\n\nLeo looked the tribe turtles over, tilting his head to the side. “Those are females?”\n\nRaph stopped mid chew and looked at Leo in shock. “Yeah.”\n\nCringing, Leo shrugged his shoulders and looked at Raph. “I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve been around turtles. I can’t see any difference.”\n\nRaph continued to chew his food and shook his head. “You learn.” Glancing up he pointed to the turtles who were now approaching. “Soon.”\n\nLeo looked up as another turtle knelt down in front of him. She said something and Leo looked to Raph for a translation. Raph, however, was too busy looking up at the one who had approached him. A wide grin split his face as he accepted the other turtle’s hand. \n\nUnsure of what to do, Leo sat frozen in place as he watched Raph walk away. The other turtle grabbed hold of Leo’s hand. “I am Venus De Milo,” she said with a thick accent.\n\nLeo’s heart was pounding and he had to swallow hard before he could speak. “You know the common language?”\n\n“A little,” Venus answered and then shrugged. “Enough. My mate teach me.”\n\n“You… have… a mate?” Leo stammered out. \n\nVenus nodded. “One.” She then smiled and pulled on Leo’s hand. “Now two.”\n\nLeo looked around to see that the other turtles from his group were being led away, including the elder. With his heart in his throat, Leo allowed Venus to help him stand. She led him to a hut and ushered him inside. Following him inside, Venus wasted no time undressing. \n\n“I’ve never…” Leo started before his throat closed up. \n\nTilting her head to the side, Venus considered Leo. “You never mate?”\n\n“I’ve been with males,” Leo admitted. “But only on the receiving end.”\n\nStepping closer to Leo, Venus chuckled. “We change that. You give me baby.”\n\nLive in the moment, Leo told himself while he removed his coat and hat. Venus started to help him with the rest of his clothes but paused for a moment to look at his gun. Following her line of sight, Leo remembered that turtles didn’t like violence. “It’s for protection only. I’ve never killed anyone with it. I don’t like the idea of taking someone else’s life. I just want to be a simple farmer.”\n\nShe pulled her hands back from the gun belt. “You take off.” It was obvious to Leo that she was uncomfortable with the gun and didn’t want to touch it. He didn’t blame her. One wrong move and she could hurt herself or him or worse.\n\nRemoving his belt, Leo gently placed it on the ground away from where they were. He then removed the rest of his clothes and tossed them to the side. \n\nHer scent was alluring; different than the allure of the males. Letting instinct take over, Leo pulled Venus close and started kissing her neck. With a gentle moan, Venus tilted her head back. \n\nVenus smiled as she pulled away and led Leo to the pallet on the floor. His breath hitched as Venus made her way onto the pile of wool and lifted her tail. It was a beautiful sight. Joining her on the bed, Leo knelt down behind her and ran his fingers along the underside of her tail. His fingers found her cloaca, causing a full body shiver to overtake Venus. \n\nHer natural lubricant dripped onto his finger and he brought it up to take a taste. As the salty substance touched his tongue, his penis throbbed with desire. Leonardo brought his tail forward as he pressed in closer. His tail curled around hers as he sought to line up their cloacas and was grateful when Venus helped to guide him. \n\nLube dripped from his vent as his penis slipped out and into hers. The soft warmth of her inner walls had him churring. She pressed back against him, encouraging him to go in deeper and he was more than happy to continue his inward journey. \n\nHer body opened up for him, accepting all that he had. It was better than anything he had experienced before and it took all of his will to keep from losing it. With each thrust his body shook and a churr bubbled from deep within his chest. \n\nHe was finally starting to get used to the feeling and he no longer feared losing control. Venus hummed, gripping the bedding as her body rhythmically pulsed around him. At least she seemed to be enjoying it. He didn’t want her time with him to be bad. For him, he didn’t think that it could get any better. That was until Venus let out a deep moan and her muscles tightened. It was more than Leo could handle. He managed a few more quick thrusts before he left his seed inside her. \n\nThe orgasm was better than any of its predecessors. To think that a little over a month ago he was still a virgin, experiencing sex for the first time. It had been a mind-blowing experience and each time after that had only gotten better. It left him wondering how good it would have been, if he had been with more than just Raph, on that rainy day. He made a mental note to experience it anytime the opportunity presented itself. No more holding back. He might not want to let himself love but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t find pleasure. \n\nWith a satisfied sigh, Leo pulled out and lied down next to Venus. He waited for her to settle down before asking, “Are you okay?”\n\n“Yeah,” Venus hummed. “For first time, you did good.”\n\nLeo trailed his fingers down her bridges and rested his hand on her thigh. “Would you be up to going again? I might be better the second time.”\n\n“Yes,” she husked, pulling him down into a kiss. \n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "It was pouring rain so the small group of turtles stopped to find shelter.

One of the young adult males moved close to Leo to help him through some of his movements. His body pressed close to Leo’s and his plastron scrapped against Leo’s carapace. The resulting vibrations made Leo’s body tingle. One moment they were dancing and laughing and in the next they were kissing. For a moment it felt right, it felt natural and Leo found himself returning the kiss. But then he realized what was happening and he pulled away. He didn’t want to form any sort of bond with them.

Raphael said something in the native language and laughed as Leo looked at the other turtle in shock. The other turtle said something and reached out his hand but Leo shook his head. Still a little stunned, Leonardo walked over to the wagon and sat down with his back against it. He was no longer in the mood for dancing.

Raph continued to talk to the other turtles as he walked over to the wagon. After removing his jacket from the wagon, Raphael sat next to Leo and draped it over the two of them. “He just wanted to see. He meant no harm.”

Leo kept himself turned away from Raph but did not move out from under the coat. “What was it that he wanted to see?”

“He knows you hurt. Turtles love,” Raph explained. “We… are open with love. He was welcoming you into tribe. Wanted to make you feel good.”

“We are not a tribe,” Leo scoffed.

“No,” Raph agreed. “But they journey to join another. One by town we travel to. They want us to join them.”

“I don’t want to be part of a tribe,” Leo said, resting his chin on his knees. “I want my farm back.”

“Why not both?” Raph asked as he leaned in close. Leo could feel Raph’s hot breath on his neck and it caused a shiver to run down his spine. “Is good to be part of tribe.”

“I have never been around other turtles before,” Leo admitted. “This is all strange to me and a little bit frightening. I don’t want to get attached to anyone again. Everyone I have ever loved is dead. I’m not going to risk it until I know I have beaten Saki.”

Raph’s hand came up to caress Leo’s shoulder. “I understand.”

Leo turned to look at Raph and could see the sadness in his eyes. “You loved that man you were with when you were captured.”

“Yes,” Raph nodded. Placing his hand on his chest, Raph pointed to the bullet-hole scars. “Before Trax,   was Casey. We were shot. I live, he died. Before that, I was only child when tribe was captured and killed. I was made slave. I could hear screams, every night, and I could do nothing. I too do not want to love again. But.” A slight smile spread across his beak. “We don’t need love to comfort. Yes? We live in moment and take joy from it. It may be our last.”

Understanding the hidden meaning in Raph’s words, Leo felt his face heat up. He remembered Usagi saying something along the same lines. Why hold back when it could be your last chance to live? “As long as we don’t fall in love,” Leo agreed with a nod.

“You want to have some real fun in rain?” Raph whispered in Leo’s ear. “We can join them.”

Leo looked out at the others. Two of the three young adult turtles were lying down on their sides, in the mud. Leo had a clear view of their coupling and they didn’t seem to care that the others could see them. The scent of their arousal carried on the wind, fogging Leo’s mind. The third one joined in, rubbing the receiving turtle’s bobbing erection.

Raph’s hand dipped between Leo’s legs as he nuzzled Leo’s neck. A churr sounded from Leo and the heat in his face intensified. “I don’t know if I’m ready… to… be with… more than one.”

“Just you and me,” Raph husked, before he started to suck on Leo’s neck at the pulse point.

Coaxing Leo up on his knees, Raph pressed up close behind him. The hand between Leo’s legs found his tail and Raph slipped his fingers inside of Leo’s cloaca. Leo called out in ecstasy as the coat dropped to the ground. Some of the cold rain made its way through the branches to fall on Leo’s heated flesh, causing him to shiver from both the chill and anticipation.

With a yearning desire Leo pushed back against Raph, scraping his carapace against Raph’s plastron. The resulting vibrations caused Leo to churr.

Raph coaxed Leo’s penis out, pumping it with one hand while the other continued to finger inside his tail. Needing to use the wagon for support, Leo called out again. Raph’s touch and scent were overwhelmingly arousing. All Leonardo wanted in that moment was to feel Raph. Nothing else mattered.

It wasn’t long before Leo got what he desired. Raph’s finger left Leo’s tail and was soon replaced with his hardening penis. With slow even thrusts, Raph pushed himself deeper into Leo. Willing himself to relax, Leo felt his body stretch to fit Raph’s girth. Leo was able to lose himself in the moment, allowing all of his worry, grief, and pain to melt away.

Raphael continued to lavish Leonardo with attention, bringing him closer to the edge. Muscles clenched and moved on their own as Leo lost control over his body. Raph’s deep churrs vibrated through Leo’s carapace and Leo pressed back against him.

They moved together, grunting and trusting to achieve their release. Leo fell forward as his orgasm struck so he could grind his ass against Raph in an attempt to take him in deeper. Churring at the sudden increase in tightness, Raph thrust fast and hard into Leo.

Leo could feel Raph swell and pulsate inside of him as the hot fluid filled him. The scent of their combined sex flooded his senses. It was intoxicating. He lay in a numb stupor, allowing the rush of endorphins to take their effect. He felt like a lead blanket had been draped over him. Part of him wished that it would last forever.

Raph flopped to the ground next to Leo. His chest was heaving and his body radiated warmth. So much so that Leo swore that he could see steam. Or maybe it was the result of his sex addled mind and blurred vision.

After a while, Leo pushed himself off the ground and stepped out into the rain to wash as much as he could from his body. It had been only a temporary reprieve from his pain. Once the high was gone and his mind cleared, it all came rushing back.

“If the rain doesn’t let up soon, we will have to push through it,” Leo stated.

“You know is stupid,” Raph argued. “Horses could get hurt. Then we have no way to pull wagon. We wait.”

“Then you guys should at least get some sleep,” Leo said, making his way back over to the wagon to retrieve his gun. “I will keep watch, just in case."

“I sit with you,” Raph offered as he stood and picked up his coat.

“Stop being nice,” Leo warned and attempted to hide his smile. “I already told you that I don’t want to get attached.” He got up in the driver’s seat of the wagon and got himself comfortable. “We’ll travel together until we reach the tribe. After that, we part ways. I need to find a way to get a message to the county officials without Saki knowing I’m there.”

Raph pointed at himself with his thumb. “I got… deal to… do… Saki too. I… fix mistake.” Raph tended to fumble over his words when he got riled up. “I go to town to take back….” He snapped his fingers as he thought of what he wanted to say. “Papers. I take back papers.”

“So he’s got something that belongs to you?” Leo asked as he reached into the wagon for his hat. He didn’t mind the rain. He was simply getting tired of it hitting his face.

Shaking his head, Raph made his way up to sit next to Leo. “Casey,” Raph reminded Leo of who he was by touching the scars on his plastron, “went into town to find job. Saki gave him job to take papers. I helped. We gave Saki papers. He shoot us.”

“To cover his tracks,” Leo nodded. “He couldn’t have you and Casey talking about the job. No one could know that the papers were stolen. It was the same with my parents. He made their deaths look like and accident. I’m sure he killed the men he hired to do it.”

“I want to fix,” Raph insisted. “Get papers back.”

“That’s gonna be hard to do,” Leo said, leaning back. “Saki’s place is going to be secure. How about instead, you wait for the county official with me. You can tell them that you stole the papers for Saki.”

Raph scoffed, “They put me in cage.”

“You’re right,” Leo sighed. “You would be arrested. And being a turtle you would not be treated fairly.”

“So I take,” Raph said, leaning in and clinching his fist. “I can open…,” Raph turned his hand as he thought of the word. “The box with the thing that turns.”

“A safe?” Leo ventured to guess.

“Yes that,” Raph answered. “Casey show me.”

Leo shook his head. “I don’t know. That’s not going to be easy. He’s a powerful man.”

“We do together.” Raph nudged Leo with his hand. “Fate made you and me meet… for this. We help each other.”

“Maybe.” Leo wiped the tears from his eyes as he thought over Raph’s words. “We will do what is right or die trying. Saki can’t be allowed to win. He will only hurt more people if he does.”

“Good,” Raph smiled.

….

Once the rain stopped they set out on their way again. Leo guided the horses as the others slept, making sure to keep an eye out for anything on the path that could hurt the horses. When he was too tired to continue Leo handed over the reins to one of the others.

Raph sat in the wagon and watched Leo sleep. As much as he didn’t want to, he couldn’t help but feel a kinship with him. He believed that they were meant to meet. They had both suffered in life but had somehow managed to come through with a good heart. Lesser men would have become jaded and used their past as an excuse to hurt others.

“He is still suffering the loss of the one he was with,” the elder turtle stated. “It was a traumatic death for him.”

Nodding his head in agreement, Raph replied, “He is suffering. His story is a sad one.”

“Yours is equally sad,” the elder pointed out. “Yet you seem to be handling your grief better.”

Keeping his eyes on Leo, Raph sighed and leaned back against the wagon. The sounds of the squeaking wheels on the gravely road filled the silence. He thought about how best to explain what he was going through. “Traximus was a man of fate, traveling the land to make amends for a lifetime of misdeeds. He often told me that death would be his final penance. He believed that he deserved to die for all he had done but that fate was giving him a chance to redeem himself and save his soul. I like to think that he had managed to repay his debt and that he has found peace. He was in my life for a reason and that was to teach me to be better. I cherish my time with him. I have done something that needs to be corrected before I can find my peace. It’s up to fate to decide if I live through it or not.”

….

After a month of traveling together, the small group of turtles reached their destination. The sun was setting, casting an orange hue over the western horizon that faded to a deep purple in the east. Small fires could be seen among the small huts the natives called home. Goats bleated in the distance and a horse whinnied, causing the ones pulling the cart to answer.

Leonardo pulled the wagon to a halt on the outskirts of the village. By the time he stepped down from the driver’s seat, several of the tribes’ men came out to greet them. Raphael walked up to stand next to Leo and placed a hand on his shoulder in a gesture of comfort. Dressed in their settler styled clothing, Leo and Raph stood out among the tribes’ people.

The elder turtle stepped forward and started talking. Leo had no idea what was being said but he guessed it was a brief rundown of how they had gotten there. The tribe welcomed them and guided them through the village to sit near one of the fires while others took care of the horses and wagon. Leo was glad that he had pulled his bag from among the supplies.

Leonardo sat in silence as the others spoke. Every so often he would hear his name come up as they spoke and members of the tribe would look at him with sorrow in their eyes. After a while Leo leaned close to Raph. “Did you tell them what I need to do?”

With a nod of his head, Raph answered, “Yeah. One of tribe lives in town. He comes in morning. You talk.”

“I’m hoping that he knows the common language better than you,” Leo teased.

Raph snorted out a laugh. “I speak good.”

Leo could only chuckle in response.

They were given warm flat bread with goat cheese, vegetables, and seaweed wrapped fish to eat. Leo didn’t think that he would ever savor the taste of fish. He didn’t know what they did to it but it melted in his mouth.

As they finished eating, Leo noticed that there was a great deal of nodding going on. Several other members of the tribe had gathered around and some of them were being addressed. Once again Leo leaned in close to Raph. “What’s going on?”

Raph looked at Leo and pointed to the gathering of turtles while he spoke through a mouth full of bread and cheese. “The... uh… they will… pick… mate now.”

“Mate?” Leo asked and looked at the other turtles.

“New blood,” Raph explained, indicating their small group. “Add to tribe.”

Leo looked the tribe turtles over, tilting his head to the side. “Those are females?”

Raph stopped mid chew and looked at Leo in shock. “Yeah.”

Cringing, Leo shrugged his shoulders and looked at Raph. “I don’t know. This is the first time I’ve been around turtles. I can’t see any difference.”

Raph continued to chew his food and shook his head. “You learn.” Glancing up he pointed to the turtles who were now approaching. “Soon.”

Leo looked up as another turtle knelt down in front of him. She said something and Leo looked to Raph for a translation. Raph, however, was too busy looking up at the one who had approached him. A wide grin split his face as he accepted the other turtle’s hand.

Unsure of what to do, Leo sat frozen in place as he watched Raph walk away. The other turtle grabbed hold of Leo’s hand. “I am Venus De Milo,” she said with a thick accent.

Leo’s heart was pounding and he had to swallow hard before he could speak. “You know the common language?”

“A little,” Venus answered and then shrugged. “Enough. My mate teach me.”

“You… have… a mate?” Leo stammered out.

Venus nodded. “One.” She then smiled and pulled on Leo’s hand. “Now two.”

Leo looked around to see that the other turtles from his group were being led away, including the elder. With his heart in his throat, Leo allowed Venus to help him stand. She led him to a hut and ushered him inside. Following him inside, Venus wasted no time undressing.

“I’ve never…” Leo started before his throat closed up.

Tilting her head to the side, Venus considered Leo. “You never mate?”

“I’ve been with males,” Leo admitted. “But only on the receiving end.”

Stepping closer to Leo, Venus chuckled. “We change that. You give me baby.”

Live in the moment, Leo told himself while he removed his coat and hat. Venus started to help him with the rest of his clothes but paused for a moment to look at his gun. Following her line of sight, Leo remembered that turtles didn’t like violence. “It’s for protection only. I’ve never killed anyone with it. I don’t like the idea of taking someone else’s life. I just want to be a simple farmer.”

She pulled her hands back from the gun belt. “You take off.” It was obvious to Leo that she was uncomfortable with the gun and didn’t want to touch it. He didn’t blame her. One wrong move and she could hurt herself or him or worse.

Removing his belt, Leo gently placed it on the ground away from where they were. He then removed the rest of his clothes and tossed them to the side.

Her scent was alluring; different than the allure of the males. Letting instinct take over, Leo pulled Venus close and started kissing her neck. With a gentle moan, Venus tilted her head back.

Venus smiled as she pulled away and led Leo to the pallet on the floor. His breath hitched as Venus made her way onto the pile of wool and lifted her tail. It was a beautiful sight. Joining her on the bed, Leo knelt down behind her and ran his fingers along the underside of her tail. His fingers found her cloaca, causing a full body shiver to overtake Venus.

Her natural lubricant dripped onto his finger and he brought it up to take a taste. As the salty substance touched his tongue, his penis throbbed with desire. Leonardo brought his tail forward as he pressed in closer. His tail curled around hers as he sought to line up their cloacas and was grateful when Venus helped to guide him.

Lube dripped from his vent as his penis slipped out and into hers. The soft warmth of her inner walls had him churring. She pressed back against him, encouraging him to go in deeper and he was more than happy to continue his inward journey.

Her body opened up for him, accepting all that he had. It was better than anything he had experienced before and it took all of his will to keep from losing it. With each thrust his body shook and a churr bubbled from deep within his chest.

He was finally starting to get used to the feeling and he no longer feared losing control. Venus hummed, gripping the bedding as her body rhythmically pulsed around him. At least she seemed to be enjoying it. He didn’t want her time with him to be bad. For him, he didn’t think that it could get any better. That was until Venus let out a deep moan and her muscles tightened. It was more than Leo could handle. He managed a few more quick thrusts before he left his seed inside her.

The orgasm was better than any of its predecessors. To think that a little over a month ago he was still a virgin, experiencing sex for the first time. It had been a mind-blowing experience and each time after that had only gotten better. It left him wondering how good it would have been, if he had been with more than just Raph, on that rainy day. He made a mental note to experience it anytime the opportunity presented itself. No more holding back. He might not want to let himself love but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t find pleasure.

With a satisfied sigh, Leo pulled out and lied down next to Venus. He waited for her to settle down before asking, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” Venus hummed. “For first time, you did good.”

Leo trailed his fingers down her bridges and rested his hand on her thigh. “Would you be up to going again? I might be better the second time.”

“Yes,” she husked, pulling him down into a kiss.
