Fresh Start
	It was a rather brisk Fall Saturday morning. The scent of pine trees was heavy in the air. While the morning sun made the colorful changing leaves of maples and oaks shimmer. There was a faint smell of smoke in the air, one most people had grown accustomed to. But not the newest resident.
	Sitting on the screened porch of a two story craftsman was a teenage otter. Quietly eating a bowl of oatmeal. Swinging lazily back and forth on the suspended bench. Though he was still trying to wake up. He was already thinking about how to spend his first free day in a week.
	It was thoughts that kept crossing his mind. A full week had passed since his family uprooted their entire life in New Orleans. Forced to relocate to a small town in North Dakota. 
	Cornus Mane was a town where most were trapped by it. Entire family lines one after the other ended up employed by the steel mill just south of town. While others ended up stuck employed by local businesses. It was rare that the dreamers and hopefuls ever got out for long, if ever.
	To the town's credit, because of this shared entrapment. There was a strong sense of community. Everyone seemed to like each other, the adults at least. While most felt proud to be the last town you passed through before ending up in a popular National Park.
	The otter had spent the past week being the only one unpacking boxes. Made to take care of some maintenance problems the old house had. His dad immediately began to work longer shifts. While his mother grew distant, disappearing into her soaps, as well as a knitting club.
	On Monday he'd be starting at the new high school. One week into the semester, not that being late mattered to him. His father had refused to let his son skip a grade. “You'll never get anywhere in life by taking shortcuts.” A mantra constantly stated by his father. So class work was always trivial.
	With his breakfast complete he went inside the empty home and washed his bowl. Slipping on his coat. He walked out the back of the house, hopping onto his bike. His mind couldn't seem to find something concrete to do. So perhaps a nice bike ride would clear him up.
	At least hoping the bike ride would distance him from the homesick feelings he was still struggling with. The otter only had two friends in New Orleans, but they'd been thick as thieves since kindergarten. Living without them nearby was a pill he was struggling to swallow.
	The bike ride that morning was quiet. Passing by all the homes on his block. Each one different from the last, but looking well lived in. The sort of homes that never went up for sale, just passed on through the generations. They gave the same feeling of being trapped like the mill did.
	Turning off the block he continued to follow a paved road. Following it several miles until the houses grew further apart. Separated by larger yards. The first real sign of life he came across that morning was at a four way intersection. The only place in town to have a stoplight.
	To his right was a large grocery store. The exterior is themed to look like classic German architecture. Plenty of cars were parked in the lot. To his left was a road that headed past a large campground, to the only entrance for the national park.
	He kept riding straight. Not long after the grocery store, he passed a popular drive in restaurant. IT looked rather nice, clearly it'd been there for many years. A large menu with a variety of items hung in a window that faced picnic tables.
	As he entered the heart of the town, he came to face a park. The heart of Cornus Mane surrounded the large grassy park. Several streets ran off in different directions. Each run off had only another two buildings that strayed from the square.
	The town square was awash with residents. Several banners strung up on poles advertising a festival coming at the end of the month. He hopped off his bike and walked on foot along the stores and offices. Rather surprised to see there was a decent variety to what the town could offer. A greasy spoon restaurant, doctors office, small hardware store, an art studio. As his eyes continued to wander, he stopped his gaze abruptly.

	What had caught his eyes, was on the opposite corner from him. A video rental store. Its lights were on and a neon sign flashed in the window indicating it was open. He walked the short distance over with a swiftness to his step. He locked the bike to a nearby bench and stared at the large window. It was plastered with movie posters, a few resident posted flyers, and a small help wanted sign.
	The sign above the door was rather large “Video Depot” the two words separated by a twist on a railroad crossing sign. The solid X lines were instead made of film roll. To say the otter was filled with joy was an understatement. He never would've believed a town like this would actually have a rental store.
	Hurriedly he pushed open the door, a bell mounted to it rang softly to announce the customer. Immediately he was hit with a wall of scents. The smell of fresh popcorn, wood paneled walls, and the lingering scent of tobacco. The interior would've seemed dingy if not for bright posters everywhere. Large colorful signs with a fun font hung above several aisles of movies. While candy bars and snacks lined the wire shelves attached to the checkout counter.
	The otter rather liked the look of it. Unassuming, unique. Vastly different from the standardized box store he frequented in New Orleans. “Good morning.” A deep voice called out. Behind the counter was a snow leopard, dressed in a flannel shirt that clung tightly to his large gut. The cat was going through a box of overnight returns.
	The otter always tended towards following his impulses. Being in a new town, feeling home sick, dreading being at a new school. He wanted to have something good on his mind, something to focus on. Perhaps a way to embrace this new phase in his life. “Good morning sir.” the otter replied politely, a southern, slightly french twang to his words.
	The leopard set a tape down and glanced more directly at the otter. “Say. I don't think I've seen you before. New in town?” Though the cats voice was deep, it had a rather pleasing calmness to it. “Yes sir. Just got here a week ago.” The otter stepped up to the counter. Eyes looking over the candy bare selection. “Well anything in particular you looking for?” The leopard grabbed a tape and slid it into a rewinding machine.
	“Um, yea actually. I was wondering about your help wanted sign. I think it'd be a good idea to start off on the right paw here.” The leopard moved over closer to the otter. Eyeing the otter up and down. “You know a lot about movies? Any experience working a register? What are your hobbies?”
	The otter was quick to respond to the questions in order. “Back in New Orleans I was part of a film club. We'd watch movies a lot. Plus I got this old Super 8 I film with sometimes. I haven't worked a register yet, but am good at math. For hobbies I enjoy drawing, and filming.” The otter smiled, hoping his answers were good ones.
	The answers caught the leopard's interest. “An artist you say? Tell you what. I never mind training a young mind. Especially one that is already a film enthusiast. But I'll need a little more out of you. If you want the job.” He paused to think on it for a moment “This week I'm running a horror movie special. 50% Discount on the rental fee for horror movies. If you draw me something to promote it in a fun way. You've got the job.” The leopard reached under the counter and grabbed a box of pastel chalks, offering it up. Then pointing to the blank chalkboard that could be propped outside.
	It didn't take long for the otter to come up with what he thought was a good idea. He set to work with the pastel chalks. Occasionally stepping back to observe his work before continuing. Now and then the bell on the door rang in as more customers came and went. At least when he felt satisfied with the work he stepped away from the board. He'd drawn an impressive, and intimidating image of Freddy Kruger. The fierce looking lion slashed the claws of his gloved hand, slashing the rental fee in half.
	He'd written a twist on the cryptic rhyme that could be heard in the movie. “One Two Freddy's Coming for you. Three Four Better Rent Some More.” The leopard's eyes fixated on a customer that approached the sign. “Horror movies are discounted? Awesome!” The man smiled. “Do you still have Nightmare on Elm Street in stock?”  The leopard spoke up from behind the counter. “Yes sir, we have several on the shelf in the horror section.” He motioned a paw to the back wall.
	“Not bad kid. Not bad at all. The name is Mike. Can you start now?” The leopard smiled, which the otter returned. “Cody. Yes, I'd be delighted to start now!” The snep spent the better part of the morning training the otter. Going over every detail of how to work the register, manage inventory, returns, and new memberships. “As an employee here you are entitled to one free rental a week. A 10% discount on snacks. I will also be giving you new releases to watch the day before we put them out.  So you can be better informed to handle customer questions.”
	Cody's first shift was going quite well. Loving compliments he got on his artwork. By mid-afternoon he was a natural for the job. Looking like he'd been doing it for years. As he went about shelving some movies, he was unaware someone outside had stopped dead in their tracks.
	A very large, well built sable furred wolf, with more black than gray to it, was staring through the window. Eyes watching the uniquely copper furred otter working away. Only in the wolf's eyes, the otter wasn't a teen. But far shorter, ten years old again. A memory flooding back to the wolf's mind. Both of them were skinny dipping in a summer camp lake, late one night.
	Fireflies were lighting up the night. While playful giggles and growls seemed to compliment the orchestra of crickets in the night. It was the most memorable night of the camp. Neither of them understood what they were doing to each other. Just that touching these new places felt good, and fun. The wolf never forgot that summer camp experience. 
	Coming back to his senses, the wolf hurried into the store. Making swiftly for the otter, unable to contain himself “Cody?! Is that you?” The wolf's voice was deeper now, but familiar. Cody stood up and turned around. Eyes going wide “Aldric?! Oh man it's so good to see you.” For a while after camp they'd been pen pals. But as the pressure and demands of school life increased for both of them, the letters had stopped.
	The wolf realizing he was right, and recognized, couldn't resist. Pulling the short otter into an incredibly firm hug. The height difference between them planted Cody's muzzle right into the wolf's chest. Immediately the otter seemed to melt. His heart raced as he took slow deep breaths. The wolf smelt incredible, an earthy musk to him, with a hint of heat. He could hardly breathe, and didn't want the hug to stop. 
	He felt frozen in that moment, and could've happily stayed there forever. Securely held by the muscular wolf. “Dude, we have got so much catching up to do! I'm taking you to the drive-in after your shift. Not gonna give you a choice.” Aldric pulled away from the hug, smiling.
	Cody was also smiling, and trying to keep his legs pinned together. Attempting to keep his swollen sheath from causing him trouble. “That sounds wonderful. I've only got another hour.” They didn't chat much. Cody wanted to keep his new boss pleased. Though the final hour seemed to drag on and on.
	He finally realized why he'd recognized the name of this town. How could he forget? It was where he'd sent so many letters for Aldric. The fact the large wolf was still living there, put so many worrisome thoughts out of his head. Maybe life wouldn't be so bad here after all.
	“You did great today Cody. Better than I could've hoped for. Remember weekends you'll be working noon to closing. You've got Wednesday and Thursday off. Rest of the week you'll work five till closing.” The leopard patted the otter on the back. Handing him a copy of The Thing, and a Crunch bar. “See you tomorrow.”
	Cody had a large stupid smile on his face as he walked outside. Not only had he gotten a job at a video rental store. But now he was mere minutes away from being able to catch up with an old friend. Tucking the movie and candy bar into his bag, he climbed onto the bike.
	The ride couldn't happen fast enough, filled with joy in his heart he biked swifter than normal. It was just after six and the drive-in was already getting busy. Aldric was already there, sitting at one of the picnic tables. Talking to a rather fierce looking doberman. The wolf was dressed in his letterman jacket, and Cody couldn't help but stare.
	Getting the full view of the wolf now. He realized just how handsome the wolf was. One of the most attractive creatures Cody had ever seen in his life. It made his pants tighten again. With a deep breath he hopped off his bike and secured it to the rack. Walking over to his friend.

Just Like Old Times
	“Cody!” Aldric jumped out of his seat with a big toothy smile. “I want you to meet one of my friends. This is Devon.” The wolf motioned to the fierce looking doberman. The dog had a few piercings in his left ear, slick, shiny black fur, and deep brown eyes. If it wasn't for the pinstripe shirt and red apron uniform that offset the dobermans looks. It was the sort of person Cody might naturally cross the street to avoid. “It's nice to meet you.” Cody smiled awkwardly. 
	The doberman cocked a very toothy smile. “Heh, nice to meet you too. You just moved into the old Thompson place, right?” Devon took an order pad from his apron pocket. “Yea. Wanted to get out and about earlier. Dad's kept a short leash on me though.” Devon glanced at Aldric, trying to ignore an all too familiar smirk.
	“What? I didn't say anything.” The wolf spoke up, catching onto his friends mindset. “I'm not going near that house. It's creepy.” Devon spoke with a timid tone in his voice, quite contrary to what his looks would suggest. “Oh hush. It was only creepy cause it was empty. Now it's got people in it. Cody, you been there for a week. Heard any weird noises, seen weird stuff?” Cody's rounded ears perked a bit at the question.
	“Not really. Just the normal old house stuff. Kinda nice actually. Well, it will be once I get some furniture.” The otter replied with a soft smile. “Hah, told you Devon. Totally fine.” Aldric invited the otter to sit down.
	Aldric ordered for them both, getting himself a burger and fries. Ordering a basket of fried fish and chips for his otter friend. Devon wrote it all down and rolled away on his skates. “Don't mind Devon. He may look tough, but he's just a big softie.” The wolf's tail was swishing slowly back and forth.
	“So what brought your folks out here?” Aldric asked casually. “Dad got reassigned. He won't say, but we all know it was punishment for something he did.” The otter sighed a little. “Guess it's not so bad. Only got two years of school left. If I miss New Orleans and my friends there, I could try college there.” Cody glanced around at people milling about. 
	“What about you though? I know it's been a couple years since we talked. Anything exciting?” Cody noticeably nodded towards the jacket the wolf was wearing. “Oh yea. Made quarterback for the high school. We took state last year.” He beamed at admitting this, his tail wagging proudly. Now the otter understood why the wolf.
	“Whoa you took state? No wonder you look so good.” Cody bit his tongue immediately, darting his eyes away from the conversation. “Well, the football helps. I like to take runs in the morning also. You could join me sometime. Could show you around.” Aldric was hot in the ears from the compliment. 
	“I'd really like that. Could get us in trouble though.” This made the wolf cock his head slightly. “Trouble?” He gave a nod to Devon who set food down between the two. “Well, yea. I tend to enjoy going places I'm not supposed to be. Usually more interesting stuff to see.” 
	Aldric was ecstatic at this. He and Cody had been thick as thieves at Summer camp. Easily remembering how frequently they would go off trail. Wander and do their own things. To know that it was still something the otter enjoyed, as much as he still enjoyed it, was exhilarating. “Heh. I think I can help you with that a lot. You can thank Misty for that.” Cody poured a little vinegar on his fried fish. “She's the other friend in our little circle. She's got this really great garage band she sings for.” Aldric paused to take a bite of his food.

	“She is always wanting to go behind locked doors, past the tallest fences. Helps her find inspiration for the songs she writes. Misty knows this town, the park, and the mill like the back of her paw. We should plan a little outing.” Aldric's tail was wagging happily back and forth. 
	“That sounds awesome. I could bring my camera!” The otter continued with his meal. “I'm not real good with it. But I have fun.” A thought suddenly crossed the otter's mind. “Say, my parents aren't going to be back until late tonight. My new boss gave me a movie to watch, you wanna come over?” Cody felt a lump in his throat as he asked the question. Hoping Aldric would agree.
	“Yea Cody. I'd love that. Something scary?” The otter nodded his head in a yes. As the two continued to eat their meals. They continued talking as if they'd just talked the day before. No gap in their time together. A natural flow of energy between them. “So you have a girlfriend back in New Orleans? I'd think the girls would be all over you. Just look how handsome you are” The wolf inquired, sipping down the last of his soda.
	Cody felt hot under the collar at the compliment.  “T-thanks.” he hurriedly sipped his drink trying to wash down his nerves. “No. I mean, girls would flirt with me a lot. Just, had my mind on other things I guess.” The otter tried to ignore the fact the things he had on his mind was guys. “What about you, got a girlfriend?” Cody took a slow sip of his drink. “Heh, nah. Girls ain't my thing.” Cody started choking on his drink over the response. Coughing harshly hiding his muzzle in a napkin. 
	Aldric so proudly confessing he was gay, caught the otter off guard. His eyes darted rapidly around, no one seemed to care. “That's not a problem is it?” Cody cocked his head again. “N-no!” The otter was quick to respond. “Just..little bit of culture shock I guess.” He dabbed his muzzle dry. “People in Louisiana don't exactly go around talking about...being gay out in the open like this.” Aldric nodded along with the words.
	“Well you don't have to worry 'bout that sort of bullshit here. Everyone here is really chill about stuff.” The wolf smiled reassuringly. Aldric paid the bill “See ya later Devon. When you see Misty tonight. Tell her to start planning a camping trip for next weekend.” Devon gave a nod “Oh man you're right. We gotta get a few more in before the chill really sets in. You gonna come along Cody?” The otter smiled at Devon's question, glad to be invited. “I'd love to!”
	Cody took his bike from the rack and smiled at the wolf. The pair walked casually along the road. Enjoying the night, and the sounds of crickets that took place of the sounds of the drive in. “My house isn't far from yours. If you're wondering.” Aldric broke the silence. “Just two streets over in fact.” Cody smiled, “Nice to know I have a friend living so close.” As they got closer to the home, a light rain began to fall from the sky. Just the occasional drop landing on them.
	As they walked Aldric's tail continued to wag. Softly beating against the otters back. Cody would never complain about it. He loved the contact, the feeling of that large bushy tail against him. As they walked up the short driveway to the two story craftsman. Cody leaned his bike against the side of the home. Inviting Aldric inside. “My rooms up the stairs, last door on the left. I'll make us some drinks if you wanna wait for me.” He smiled.  Aldric gave a nod and padded upstairs. Leaving Cody alone to mix up a pitcher of Tang.
A Rainy Night
	When Aldric walked into the otter's room. He couldn't keep himself from letting out a low, pleased growl. Breathing in deep the scent of his friend. Quietly he slipped his coat off, setting it on the back of a desk chair. Eyes wandering over a cork board with pictures pinned to it. One seemed to be the most recent. Cody was sandwiched between a fox, and a large gator. They all had a laughing expression, and two snow cones were planted thoroughly on the otters head. The picture brought a warm feeling to the wolf's heart.
	Cody walked into the room carrying two cups, and a pitcher of tang. Setting them down on his desk “These are your friends?” Aldric motioned to the picture. “Yea, the gator is Liam. Fox is Tobin. That was the afternoon before we left town.” He looked solemn for a moment, but soon perked back up.

	“And what about this? Who are these two handsome fellows?” Aldric motioned to another picture. It was of Cody and Aldric at Summer Camp, working their way along a ropes course. “Oh I don't know. Probably some losers.” Cody said with a chuckle, pouring them both a glass. He slipped the video tape into the VCR, and jiggled a wire that connected it to the small black and white TV.
	Aldric took a seat on the floor, patting an empty spot next to him with a smile. As Cody took a seat, there was a rumble of thunder outside. “Nice, we've got ourselves a genuine orchestra for maximum scares.” Aldric jokes. Cody couldn't help but laugh at the wisecrack. As the pair sat on the floor watching the movie, they seemed to naturally move closer together. Until they were side to side, enthralled by the gorey film. 
	A sudden and loud crack of thunder caused Cody to squeak. Tightening up nervously. Aldric didn't hesitate and wrapped an arm around his friend's back. Which caused the otter to relax. As the movie continued both seemed to say quiet. Just enjoying being near each other. Aldric continued his grip, and Cody had come to lay his head on the wolf's shoulder, nuzzled into its warmth.
	As the movie continued the storm seemed to get worse and worse. Rain beating down so hard, they could both hear it pummeling the roof. Frequent crashes of thunder, and strikes of lightning disturbing what had once been a peaceful evening.
	By the end of the movie Aldric had never let go, still holding Cody against his side. “Not a bad one. Don't think Devon could sit through it though.” The otter yawned softly, hesitant to pull away. 	
	Cody felt so safe at that moment. Both creatures realize just how swiftly and well they'd reconnected after all this time apart. “Say, if you never had a girlfriend...” Aldric paused “Does that mean, you're gay?” Cody felt flush at the question. He glanced in the direction of the door, silent for a moment. Listening to make sure his parents were still out.
	“I...well yea I guess.” Cody was nervous, and pushed himself closer against the wolf. “You don't have to be ashamed about it little lutra.” The wolf spoke with a smooth, comforting, yet strong voice. “Lutra” rolled off his tongue in a tantalizing way, it made Cody shiver with delight. “I'm not ashamed. Just, how it is where I come from. People aren't supposed to talk about it, let alone be that way.” The wolf nodded softly in understanding.
	“Well I won't tell nobody. That's your choice, ok?” Aldric stood from the floor, offering a paw to the otter. Cody grasped it, and let the wolf help him to his feet. Just as the otter finished adjusting his shirt, he heard the phone ringing down stairs. Leaving the room for a minute he made his way to the kitchen.
	“Laurent Residence.” The otter stiffened a little at the male voice on the line. “You're mother and I will be staying in the city tonight. Storm has gotten real bad. Don't wreck the place.” Cody's long rudder tail twitched. “Yes sir. I was just finishing my homework.” He lied. The father hung up without a “goodbye” or an “I love you.”
	Aldric had made his way downstairs, glancing out the window over the sink. “Man it's really coming down.” There was a sudden loud bang, all at once the lights in the house went out. Cody squeaked nervously. Swallowing his nerves back down, the otter spoke up “My parents said they're staying in the city tonight...” Cody fumbled around a little in the dark, finding his way to the kitchen junk drawer.
	“Oh?” The wolf spoke up with a bit of happiness in the question. “Yea. My pa still hasn't replaced the two bald tires. Would probably slide off the road. Ahah.” Cody grabbed a box of matches and moved to the kitchen sink. Reaching to the window sill he grabbed an oil lamp, removing the glass for a moment to light the wick.
	Immediately the pair were illuminated in the soft orange glow. Cody had a grin on his face “You could uh..stay the night, if you want.” His voice was sultry, softer than it had ever been. The southern twang to it, more present, and even more attractive. 

	Aldric picked up on the attempt at flirting immediately. Truth be told he'd been feeling attraction for the otter all day. Years had gone by, but nothing stuck with him quite like summer camp had. The wolf had been with a couple other guys sexually, but had yet to find someone he was attracted to romantically.
	But now here they both were again. The universe reuniting the pair, in a way that was like they'd never been apart. “I'd like that very much, little lutra.” Cody trembled again, setting the oil lamp back in the window sill for the moment. When he turned around he found the wolf standing in front of him. 
	Aldric looked even more handsome in the lamp light, the flickering flame made silvery guard hairs in his fur shimmer. The wolf grasped the otter's hips, squeezing them gently. “You want me to sleep on the couch, or should we go upstairs?” Aldric let one paw move up, slipping under Cody's t-shirt, gently stroking over his friend's stomach. Letting his fingers run through the silken fur.
	Cody was trembling like a leaf, eyes rolling in his head from the dominant embrace. “Let's go upstairs.” the words were followed by a soft moan. Hurriedly he grabbed the oil lamp and led them back up to his room. Setting the lamp on his desk he turned to face Aldric.
	“I've never..” Cody was cut off suddenly, the wolf pinning the otter gently to a wall. Aldric lowered his head and loudly sniffed between the otter’s ears. Taking deep breaths, and exhaling just as hard. Huffing all over the otter's head, taking in the scent of his friend.
	The sensation of it was exhilarating. Loving the hot breath that was bathing him. Loving the way Aldric had a primal feral passion to his ways. “Never what little lutra?” Aldric asked when he stopped huffing, looking Cody in the eyes. 
	It took a second for the otter to collect his thoughts again. “Never been with anyone before....just the stuff we did at camp.” Aldric huffed again, ruffling the otters whiskers. “Well if it gets too much for you, just let me know.” 
	Before Cody could respond he found himself locking muzzles with Aldric. The wolf's head tilted sideways, muzzle agape enough to lock with the otter's shorter rounded muzzle. Much like his wild huffing, the kiss was just as feral. The thick, long, broad tongue licking with wild abandon. 
	Cody was on cloud nine, painfully erect in his pants. He tried his best to return the licking, but could hardly find the will to do it. Instead he let his paws wander, slipping under the wolf's shirt to feel along the fiercely toned gut. Letting his finger glide through the coarse fur. All the while happily letting the wolf assault his maw.
	Eventually Aldric broke from the kiss, a brief string of drool lingered, connecting the pair. Until it broke, and Aldric went back to his huffing. This time burying his nose into Cody's neck, bumping it firmly into the fur and against the flesh. With a real show of self control Aldric stepped back. Hurriedly slipping off his shirt, and pants. Standing there in just a jockstrap that was straining to control an engorged sheathe. The fabric damp with a copious amount of pre-seed
	Cody fumbled with his own, and slipped off his pants in a rush. His briefs hadn't done as good a  job at containing him. A firm three inches of otter cock was pushed past the elastic band. A drip of pre shimmering in the lamp light. 
	The sight of it elicited a loud, pleased growl from the wolf. They both made for the bed, and Aldric laid on his back. “Lay on top of me Cody. It's alright. I wanna see what you've been hiding from me.” He wriggled and slid off his own jock strap.  The otter slid his briefs down, which caused Aldric to growl again. Admiring the sight of those heavy otter orbs, they hung low and proud.
	Cody had his gaze transfixed on the wolf's loins. The black and gray sheath was impressively thick, thicker than his balled paw. Aldric's own balls were quite pronounced, heavy on his thighs. The pinkish red tapered tip was clearly peeking out.
	The otter moved onto the bed, climbing on top of Aldric. Unable to restrain himself he pressed his face against the wolf's sheathe. Taking in its deep, earthen, spicy scent. Aldric gasped at the feeling of it, it was electric.
	The wolf started huffing again. Nudging his maw swiftly, and wildly all over the otters sheathe and balls. Stopping only a few seconds here and there to take deep breaths. “Fuck, Cody, you smell amazing.” Aldric spoke with a snarl, wrapping his arms around Cody's back to keep them pinned together. 
	Cody was trying to replicate the way Aldric nosed around. Slowly finding his own confidence to explore in different ways. He let one paw cup the heavy wolf balls, just a single orb barely fit in one paw. The otter caressed the large orb gently, whining with excitement. “Good little lutra.” Aldric snarled delightfully once more.
	The otter couldn't hold back anymore. Shifting his weight a little he nuzzled against the peeking tip, his soft nose bumping against the sensitive flesh. Until he let his maw part, taking in the tapered tip, letting it rest on his tongue. Aldric snarled his loudest yet, claws playfully raking over Cody's back.
	Aldric let his strength and height difference work in his favor. Adjusting the otters form, Aldric moved his head between his friends legs. Immediately setting to work taking in the virgin scent of the soft otter tailhole.
	The wolf was growing harder by the second, inch after inch burying further into the willing otter muzzle. Cody was gently bobbing his head, letting the thick shaft drag back and forth along the length of his tongue. The way Aldric tasted and smelled was blindingly delightful. It made his entire body melt, relaxing completely to Aldric's whims. 
	Aldric was having a hard time focusing on his current interest in the virgin tail. Cody's inexperience was somehow becoming the best blowjob the wolf had ever known. Sending electric shocks of pleasure through his entire being.  With a snorting huff, he made himself focus.
	He bumped his muzzle gently between the plush cheeks of the otter's ass. Letting his tongue dart out, probing against the virgin ring. Cody gasped, which caused Aldric to instinctively buck his hips at the fully open muzzle. Burying seven inches into the otters muzzle, three of which slipped into Cody's throat. The otter gagged for only a minute, which made his hole clench. 
	But Cody quickly adjusted, suckling on the massive cock he was now gladly deep throating. Aldrics tongue kept prodding, lapping, and pushing. It didn't take him long to find just the right rhythm that was relaxing his friend even further. Enough that he could finally push his tongue past the virgin rim. 
	The otter's whine of bliss was almost entirely muffled by the cock in his maw.  Immediately pushing his rump back into the penetrating tongue. This action made Aldric's heart race. The pair of them were in sync with each other's needs and desires. Aldric continued to lap inside the virgin hole, while Cody bobbed his head faster than ever.
	Aldric stopped suddenly and snarled dominantly. “You ready little lutra?” Carefully Aldric rolled the otter off of him, and laid Cody on his back. Cody whined defiantly now that his maw was empty. “Y-yes Aldric. Please, take me.” Aldric smiled, looking down at the otter. Admiring the fully erect six inch cock, it had a horse like appearance with a significant and alluring curve to it.
	“I'll go slow at first. It only hurts for a moment.” The wolf spoke, and helped Cody roll onto his stomach. Aldric straddled his friend's legs, gently curling the long rudder tail to one side. His cock was considerably larger and thicker at ten inches. There was a subtle taper to the first few inches of it.
	The wolf carefully lined himself up, whimpering rather loudly when he felt the tip hit just the right spot. “Your ass is so hot, little lutra. It's incredible.” He snarled. Cody was quivering with anticipation. Carefully Aldric applied a little pressure, it made Cody tense up. A paw gripping one of the blankets for comfort. Whining with discomfort “Shhh, it's ok. Just the first little bit, then it's amazing.” Aldrics words were calming, smooth, and Cody trusted them completely.
	The wolf applied a little more pressure, and gasped as he finally pushed past the resistant virgin ring. It elicited a startled squeak from the otter, who clenched his paw tighter. “Easy, try and breathe. It'll help you relax.” Aldric let a paw wander over the otters back. Gently stroking it to soothe his friend.
	Cody started taking slow and deep breaths. All while Aldric showed impressive restraint against his urge to breed such a willing bitch. The otter's body began to relax, his hole easing its clench on the intruding cock. “That's it, slow breaths.” Aldric snarled, continuing to guide his friend safely through this first encounter.
	When the otter had relaxed almost completely, Aldric murred softly. Gently easing his member further in. This time with much less resistance. His tail began to wag when he heard Cody elicit a rather loud moan. Inch by inch the wolf allowed himself to go deeper, led on by the encouraging moans and groans of the otter beneath him. 
	When his unswollen knot pressed against the soft ring, he was laid completely on the otter’s back. All his weight bearing down on Cody.  Head flopped over Cody's left shoulder, nuzzling gently against the side of the otter's moaning face. “Rrrrr, you ready little lutra?” Aldric huffed over his friend's face. “Oh yes Aldric, please.” he whispered submissively.
	The wolf smiled and kept his entire weight on the otter, just lifting his hips back, only removing half his length from the otter's willing ass. Though he'd be gentle getting to this point, Aldric trusted how in tune he felt with the otter beneath him. He bucked his hips hard, burying his length back inside. Cody whined with bliss, and pushed his hips back, wanting it again.
	Aldric snarled with delight and no longer restrained himself. Faster each time he withdrew, and then buried himself back inside the otters wonderfully hot ass. “Oh fuck yes. Rrrr I won't last long.” He huffed, bathing the otters head once more in hot wolf breathe.
	The wolfs hips were becoming a blur. The springs of the cheap boxspring whined for mercy, while the head board steadily rocked against the wall. Cody was moaning to the heavens, loving every second of Aldric breeding him.
	Aldric was growling dominantly, breathing hard as he kept up the rapid pace. With whatever last bit of clarity he could manage, he wormed an arm under the otter. Grasping the hidden and fully erect otter cock. Every thrust into the otters ass, was a thrust of otter cock through clenched wolf paw. “Oh fuck, oh fuck.” Cody spoke, panting as this added touch was quickly bringing him towards a climax.
	He didn't even consciously feel the discomfort that came with a knot pounding against his ass. Each time getting just that little bit more in. Until with one final hard press, the wolfs knot buried inside the otters rump. Swelling almost immediately, but the humping didn't stop. Instead Aldric kept rocking his hips wildly. Knot fucking the otter beneath him. “Hnnnng” Cody cried out, whining with delight. “I want your puppies” the otter cooed, which caused Aldric to huff with delight.
	Unable to control himself he bit down rather firmly on the otters shoulder. Not breaking flesh, but it was a very controlling grip. This sent Cody over the edge at last, shooting rope after rope into the wolfs gripping paw. Aldric snarled as he kept the mating bite locked on the otters shoulder. His hips came to a slow as he too began to climax. His heft orbs noticeably twitching with every jet of cum burying deep inside the otter.
	Both of their climaxes seemed to go on for a good ten seconds or more. Completely draining what felt like the first load they'd ever shot in their life. Pent up for years until the two managed to bring it out of each other.
	When Cody shot his last little spurt, Aldric carefully rolled both of them to their side. Still tied to his friend’s, no longer virgin ass. The wolf released his bite, and gently lapped over the shoulder. Affectionately grooming the now tender area. Breathing heavily, all the while he was still squirting into his friend.
	Cody was slowly catching his breath, happily laying there tied to his friend. Basking in the afterglow of losing his virginity. All the while Aldric continued to lap his tongue over the tender shoulder, sweetly caring for his bitch. 

	“Did I hurt you Cody?” Aldric the first to break the silence. Cody wiggled his hips a little, teasing the swollen knotted cock inside of him. “No.” he giggled a little. “Think getting bit was one of the best parts.” The otter commented, which drew the wolfs attention. “Who am I kidding, all of it was the best part.”
	Aldric huffed, “Little lutra likes loving bites hmm?” Aldric playfully nipped the otters scruff, drawing out another squeak. Cody smiled stupidly, “They're wonderful, just like you.” Aldric huffed at the compliment, and quietly went about grooming his friends neck. Occasionally slipping in a nip to excite his friend.
	“We'll be stuck like this for a while.” Aldric wrapped an arm over the otter. “I wouldn't want it any other way.” Cody said sleepily, nuzzling into a pillow. Aldric lowered his head, resting the underside of his maw atop Cody's head. They both slowly drifted off to the best sleep in their life. Even when Aldric eventually softened and slipped out of his friends, they never turned away. Just embracing each other deeply in that peaceful sleep.
	At six am the alarm clock began to ring, and Cody slowly opened his eyes. Turning over slowly to see that Aldric was already awake. The wolf had been admiring his friend, yet again. “Good morning little lutra.” He grinned, playfully lapping at the otters muzzle. Bringing them both into another, though much shorter kiss. “I've got a long shift at the grocery store today. So I'll see you at school tomorrow, alright?” Aldric gently nipped the otters throat, loving the squeaks the nips always elicited.
	“Ok Aldric.” After a few minutes more of cuddling, Aldric stood. Stretching his arms, bending over to start collecting his clothes. Cody watched from the bed, admiring the naked wolf. “Thank you for last night.” Aldric commented as he got dressed. “Don't think I've felt that happy in a long time.”
	Cody smiled “I'm glad my first was with you. I don't think I would've wanted it any other way.” Aldric huffed, beaming at the compliment. “See you later little lutra.” Aldric left, leaving Cody to bask lazily in bed.
	At least until he realized his linens smelled heavily of cum. Hurriedly he took them off the bed and got them loaded into the washer downstairs. By eight he'd made the bed up again, showered, and was out the door to work. With a litter of wolf pups still deep inside of him.
