Shadow spent some time recently working out. Especially after meeting a new lady. Apparently, Sonic found her when a bunch of Badniks attacked her village. They were able to drive them off, and there’s been a period of ease amongst her and Sonic. So, Sonic’s been using that time to introduce her to his friends. And among them… was Shadow.
	Shadow remembers how she appeared alongside Sonic one time. Shadow wasn’t usually the kind of person to make much notice of one’s appearance. She was a lemur with white fur and gray stripes, a thick tail behind her that was able to grab stuff. She wore a tight bodysuit, yellow vest, black and orange gloves, and yellow shoes, primed for running. This was Tangle. She was apparently a very skilled fighter, and a very athletic individual, and she enjoyed keeping herself in fighting form. So, she worked out.
	Shadow, meanwhile, didn’t take much interest in her. Sonic tends to show up with a new guy at a nearly constant basis, that after a while they blended together. He, meanwhile, has himself, and Rouge and Omega on occasion. He tried to rely on himself mostly, though. And part of relying on himself meant keeping up his cardio. So, in town, he’d run around the track, making several laps. A very normal routine for him.
	However, he’d find an addition to the routine. That Tangle girl’d apparently had a similar idea one day, and begun running around the road. They’d pass each other every now and again, but slowly Shadow found the two taking the same road more often than before. More, more, more they met up, and soon, they made a little competition out of it. Neither was sure who started it, but one of them felt the need to prove they could pass the other, which somehow the other would quickly pick up on.
	Shadow had to admire her strength and stamina. At least, as far as what she presented. One day, Shadow figured a thorough investigation would be needed. One day, Tangle was in the middle of the hometown, standing by the walkway that surrounded the town. This was usually the stomping ground of a certain blue hedgehog, but he’s free to share. Tangle stood by the track, and was stretching, extended her legs to and fro, making sure she was ready to move.
	Shadow approached from behind, spying her stretches. There, he could… take note of her taut muscles. Her bodysuit also made sure to show them off, clinging tightly to her body as she stretched out her legs. And, of course, following the legs led to her rear. Tangle typically had her tail covering her, which was, well, a shame. Those workouts did wonders for her backside…
	“Hey,” Shadow spoke up, getting Tangle’s attention. At that, the lemur paused her stretching, and looked over her shoulder, spying the black hedgehog. 
	“Oh! It’s you!” she said. At that, she brought her legs together, and stood straight up, flicking her tail back in place. She then pivoted around to face the distant hedgehog. “What brings you here?”
	“Well, I feel like we’ve gotten to know each other a bit lately,” Shadow said. “So, after competing with you a few times, I wanted to get in a proper race.”
	“Oh really?” Tangle said, a slight smirk. “Oh, a race sounds just fun! Sonic’s told me about how you kept up with him. I’d love to go up against someone that fast.”
	“You can certainly try,” Shadow said.
	“Oh? Is that confidence I hear?” Tangle asks.
	“I’m sure Sonic told you how fast I am.”
	“He also told me you were beatable.”
	“That was way back then.” With that, the two were finally next to each other on the road. They got into a low stance, preparing to break into a run. After a countdown from the two of them, they began running. And that would be the start of another rivalry in the Sonic world.
	Since then, Shadow and Tangle would continue racing each other. They would keep seeing who would win. Tangle would think she’d win, but Shadow would glide past her on his fancy shoes. At the same time, Tangle’s sheer stamina and power would allow her to pass the hedgehog occasionally. Still, Shadow had a fairly significant win-loss ratio. Tangle was positive that she’d get tough enough to simply run past him, but it’d take a lot of time. In the meantime… She decided that she’d have to be tactical about beating him. Unfortunately, it’d involve some tighter clothes…
	Tangle was in the same place as usual this morning. She fiddled with the backside of her suit, resisting the urge to pull at it. She needed to show off today, so she’d have to deal with this uncomfortable sensation. She had her tail down behind her protectively, so as to make sure it’s hidden from everyone except for the person she needs to see it. Speak of the devil, she could see Shadow approach the track.
	“Took you long enough,” she teased as Shadow approached.
	“We don’t have to worry about taking too long on the track anyways,” Shadow said. 
	“Fair enough,” Tangle said as he got over on the track. Shadow followed, and soon stood beside her.
	“3…” he started.
	“2…” Tangle replied.
	“1!” both of them said, taking off at once. The two were running, Tangle’s long tail flowing behind her as she sped and Shadow skating with his fancy shoes. Tangle and Shadow seemed neck and neck, each ebbing over the other and alternating who led; which wasn’t the best for Tangle. She needed a decent gap between her and Shadow to put her plan into action! She pumped her legs as hard as she could, and could soon find herself gaining ground over Shadow! Though, she’d have to hope he wouldn’t be able to catch up fast enough.
	“Hey Shadow! Remember when you first approached me?” she asked, hoping the conversation would distract him.
	“Yeah, why?” Shadow asked.
	“Well, back then I couldn’t help but notice you were staring~”
	“Staring?”
	“Yeah, the way you came up behind me mid-stretch… most guys that do that aren’t doing that for innocent reasons~” Shadow felt the color come to his cheeks, and he narrowed his eyes.
	“What are you getting at?” he asked in frustration.
	“Well, after some consideration, I figured I’d give you an easier look!” With that, Tangle’s tail flicked upwards, removing the one protection between her foe and a rear view. And Shadow’s usually focused demeanor was put on sleep. Instead, Shadow was left looking at Tangle’s massive buttocks, her tight suit molding around the maximum gluteus maximus, really making it pop. And with each step, her backside shook, wobbling against the tight confines of her suit. An as she ran, she’d begun building up a sweat, a trail visibly gliding down her body and around one of her buttocks, the trail leaving a distinct glisten on her rump. Shadow’d almost thought he was looking at some adult comic rather than looking at his opponent.
	And then, she turned a corner. And at that, Shadow’s view was without his opponent’s tail end, and instead he was approaching the fence on the side of the road. Shadow’s eyes widened and he tried to turn, but it was too late. Tangle’s distraction’d forced him into a beeline towards the side of the road. And like that, he crashed through the fence (and someone could swear they could hear the jingle of rings spilling out across the field), and he was left tumbling, falling into a heap at the side of the road.
	Shadow lied there, dizzy from the sudden crash. He tried to get a grip on what he was looking at, but his vision was still spinning. He couldn’t possibly stand like this. He could only twitch and hope the pain in his head would go away. He decided to close his eyes for a moment, deciding he couldn’t run like this.
	…
	What a beautiful ass… While Shadow remained passed out, he could only think back to how he got in this position. It soon brought him back to the foe’s backside, shaking and wobbling before him. He felt the blood rush to his cheeks as he watched, his pupils following the shake of her rump. He didn’t register when his opponent tapped his collapsed form a little.
	“Shadow?” she asked. She tapped his back again. “Sha~dow? Are you alright? …Did you hit your head too hard?” Still, Shadow was knocked down. Tangle began scanning over his body, before taking one of his legs and looking at it. She held it aloft and looked over it. Though there were a couple of cuts and bruises, those legs didn’t look too bad. Speaking of not looking too bad… Tangle turned her head a little, following his legs up to below his belt area.
	Shadow’d ran a long time, even before meeting her, so of course he’d built up some leg muscle. Shadow’s legs felt nice and taut in her hands, prompting her to squeeze them. And as she did, she looked down at Shadow’s rear end. She licked her lips a little as she saw she observed his tight, muscular ass. And just past that is his balls and dick, each looking nice and grabbable. Tangle witnessed how her opponent was nice and vulnerable, exposed to any assault.
	She blushed and prodded at either, poking either cheek, and gently rubbing his shaft with her index finger. And, sure enough, there was a little reaction~ However, a stirring throughout the rest of Shadow’s body told her to back off. The hedgehog set his knees on the ground, and began to lift himself up, rubbing his forehead.
	“Nnng… What happened?” Shadow asked. He turned around, and saw Tangle, standing behind him, blushing.
	“Well, first of all, I won,” she started. “Second, after I won I tried to find you, and found you crashed off the track.”
	“You won…?” Shadow questioned. “Now that doesn’t count, I fell off track.” Tangle then shrugged.
	“Well, something made you crash this time, and it certainly wasn’t me,” Tangle said. “Sounds like sloppy work on your part, which sounds like I performed better than you.” Shadow narrowed his gaze at Tangle. He remembered what she said on the track, but if he brought it up, he expected the argument to just continue. So, he shook his head.
	“Let’s rematch tomorrow,” he said. “I’ll be less likely to trip up then.” Tangle smirked at the proposition. 
	“Sounds like a plan,” she said. “Don’t leave me hanging~” With that, the two split, and Shadow was left thinking about how easily she was able to knock him off track just by lifting her tail. He’d have to hope she wouldn’t be so shameless next time…
…
	And so, the next day came. Tangle was by the track, picking at the back of her suit like yesterday. Her strategy worked before, so maybe it’ll work again. Hence, she’d felt a little more confident about the race. She even brought gum to keep herself busy. She fiddled with the wrapper with a thumb, opening it up and revealing the pink candy within. And as she opened it and popped it in her mouth, she noticed Shadow coming up.
	“Nice to see you again,” Tangle said. “This is when you fight well, right?”
	“That’s right,” Shadow answered. “No distraction this time.” Though that was worded like a promise, Shadow gave Tangle a look, as if commanding it. Tangle didn’t break eye contact as she simply blew up a bubble, before popping it and sucking it back in. The two set up, Tangle chewing her candy as Shadow started the countdown. Soon, the two finished their countdown, and they were off. And, unfortunately, the scenario was quite similar to last time. Only difference was that Tangle would blow her gum while running, soon popping it and rechewing it.
	This would repeat, Tangle chewing gum, her and Shadow racing, her distracting him, and him biting it. Tangle would later come to him and see how he is. And then, she’d note his nice form and exploit his moment of weakness. Shadow would wake, and then the process would repeat. However, after a while, Tangle couldn’t help but notice Shadow would spend more time vulnerable.
	Back before, she could get away with, at most, drawing her finger down his shaft before he’d spring up. But after a little bit, she could wrap two fingers around it and rub. And sometimes she’d even tickle between his cheeks. Sometimes she’d gear up for a spank, only for him to get up. In truth, after the first few flops, Shadow began waking up, and feeling the hands groping his most sacred parts. When it started out, if he had the strength he would’ve probably fought off the one touching him. But at the time he had to recuperate and hope it wouldn’t go too far.
	Eventually, however, he couldn’t help but admit how… nice it felt. As rude as  Tangle’s approach was, her fingers seemed to know just the right places to touch. As her fingers danced over his tail-side, each touch seemed to make a warm feeling course through him. And each made sure he was nice and hard. But he couldn’t let himself be finished out in some field like this. So, he’d usually cut the sessions short, and leave, hopeful he could find someplace private to, ahem, ease his tension.
	Eventually, Shadow decided that he couldn’t beat around the bush anymore. Maybe, he should confront Tangle about the stuff she’s doing. And maybe he should admit that he kind of liked it. Maybe if he were lucky, she could stop waving that in front of him. But first, he’d have to confront her. And he decided that he’d do it tomorrow…
…
	The next day came, Tangle hanging out by the same road, another packet of gum in her hand. As she did, Shadow predictably approached. Though, as he approached, Tangle noticed a distinct tension to the way he walked. There was a sort of looseness to his movement as he brought in close to race. However, he seemed stiff in his movements, his expression less of a relaxed yet pouty gaze, and more of a steely and contemplative look. Soon, he was in front of Tangle.
	“You feeling alright?” Tangle asked.
	“So you noticed,” Shadow said, clearly trying to appear tough despite his posture suggesting less than complete control of the situation. And then, silence… The two just stayed there and looked at each other, waiting for the other to speak. Eventually, Shadow decided to talk. Maybe if he initiated, he could maintain some kind of control? “I know what you’ve been doing when I’m out cold.”
	“What do you mean?” Tangle asked, almost too quickly.
	“A few of those times, I was awake,” Shadow said. Tangle’s relaxed eyes suddenly went wide with a horrific realization. “You’d touch me and rub me when I couldn’t fight back. You’ve been indulging yourself for a while now.” Tangle seemed more and more uncomfortable with the way Shadow spoke. “I would be rather upset…”
	“Would be?” Tangle repeated confused.
	“If…you weren’t good at it.” At that, Tangle’s uncomfortable pose relaxed. “And, I’ve decided on a compromise…”
	“Can we talk about this somewhere more private?” Tangle requested. Shadow shrugged, and the two stepped away from the track, deciding to head over to Tangle’s home. The two stepped in, and Shadow could see a few weights around the place, as well as a few bars one could use to do chin-ups. Tangle appeared to be a bit of a workout junkie. “Ok, you mentioned a compromise?”
	“Well, I think it’s fairly simple,” Shadow said. “I could always stop racing. No more of your teasing, no more getting distracted, no more me getting vulnerable for a touching. However, I could let you do whatever you want to me, if…” Tangle’s eyes widened as he spoke. Him stopping their race? That’d be awful! Hopefully this’ll be doable. “If… you let me feel your backside.” Tangle blinked a little in confusion.
	“My backside?” she repeated. 
	“We both know you’ve been flaunting it,” Shadow said. “Don’t act surp-!” Shadow was quickly cut off when Tangle came in, her hands wrapping around his shoulders while she wrapped a leg behind both of his. 
	“Well why didn’t you just say so~?” she cooed. Though Shadow attempted a more in power position with his demands, his poise had fallen once Tangle wrapped around him. And by the purr of her voice, he soon realized this was far from his deal anymore. And then, with a light shove, Tangle kicked his feet out from under him, tossing him onto his back while she came down with him. He was dazed from the collision, and looked through his blurry vision, only spying blackness. Eventually, he regained his bearings in time to see… Tangle’s suit-covered rump looming just overhead.
	Shadow felt an uncharacteristic blush form on his face as he realized that lemur was looming overhead. Meanwhile, above him, Tangle was pulling off her vest, before slinging it towards one of those bars. With it out of the way, she stretched a little, her tail also extending above her.
	“You asked for this, big boy~” she purred. “Whatever I want to you… And I want you to help me with exercise~” Faster than Shadow could protest, Tangle put all her weight behind her, sending her cascading towards Shadow’s face. His body physically rocked from the blow, as if Tangle had just sat on a seesaw. Shadow’s lower half crashed back down, and he let out a few grunts, them muffled by the face-full of booty he was thrust under.
	He wriggled about underneath her, but Tangle’s butt was more than enough to keep him pinned. That crude lemur even rubbed her booty on top of him, taunting the helpless hedgehog. And as she did, her hands gripped his trunk, squeezing around his abs as she shook on top of him. She bit her lips as she felt Shadow writhe and squirm against her. She couldn’t help but feel powerful, being able to stop any fight from Shadow with just her butt.
	And then, exercise began. She rose her butt a little, giving Shadow a moment of reprieve. However, it was short lived, as it came down again, her contracting her legs to do so. 
	“First, a few squats!” she declared as she lowered upon Shadow. Up and down, up and down, she repeated her squats upon Shadow. Shadow winced at first, each time her ass came crashing down.  His body shook at each blow. But after a while, he began to realize how… plush it was. It was painless against him! Instead of being beaten up, Shadow could lie there and… appreciate her backside. It was soft yet firm, a lot of muscle having clearly been built up there. And it seemed big enough to draw in the majority of his face, most of it disappearing into the abyss between her cheeks. After a while, he’d soon find himself leaning towards the butt as it rose up.
	After many squats, Tangle began to feel her sweat pouring. It wrapped around her curvy body, slid down her back, and either around her cheeks or down her crack. Shadow could feel small beads drip past or on his head. It began making her booty slicker and shinier as the light hit her drenched backside. As she bounced, she decided to keep herself busy, and pulled up a packet of gum from her pocket to munch. Eventually, she stopped her squats, and seemed content to just sit on Shadow for a short bit.  
	“And break!” she declared. “Ha~ You’re nice and sturdy, Shadow~” She gave another taunting wiggle upon him, at which Shadow let out a muffled moan. Curiously, she peeked down his body, and saw his pervy little friend rise from all the attention she was giving him. “Mmm~ And you come with benefits too~” She leaned forwards a little, her fingers dancing a little, before reaching forwards and wrapping around the base of his shaft. At that, Shadow’s legs went straight, before they spasmed about at her grip. Tangle giggled.
	“Oh-ho, my~ What a reaction from a simple grip~!” she teased. “But, I want a little more. Something more, rigid~” With that, she stroked up and down his shaft. Shadow was starting to see double, his eyes nice and wide in response to her touch. He downright screamed into her ass as she tended to his cock. Her fingers delicately danced along his length, holding tightly as she went up, before tickling his tip at the top. Down it’d go, then up and down, her other hand delicately playing with his balls. Sure enough, in little time, Shadow was rigid, a small dribble of pre leaking out.
	Tangle smiled predatorily, before lifting off of him. And at that, Shadow took in a sharp gasp of breath, having been robbed of it for a short while. And then, she sat upon his midsection, her hands upon his shoulders. And at that, Shadow seemed to visibly shrink under her predatory gaze. She began to scoot back, and Shadow could feel her rubbery behind gently brush against his cock. His whole form shook at that touch, and his face’d devolved into a dumb pleasure. 
	“Mmm~ You’ve been making me real hungry for you, Shadow~” Tangle said. And then, she lifted her bottom a little. “And I’ll squeeze out everything you can offer me!” And with that, she brought her ass down, sandwiching Shadow’s dick between his stomach and her booty. Shadow gasped sharply, his chest heaving from the sit down. And Tangle road back and forth on top of him. At that, Shadow was practically growling like an animal. He thrashed about, thrusting against her butt as she ground down on top of him.
	Tangle’s teasing was a little too much for Mr. Dark and Brooding. He probably would’ve survived extended periods under her butt like this, but her earlier coaxing ensured his end was near. And Tangle was certain she could tell she was about to get what she wanted. After a while, she was through with drawing it out. She bounced and bounced, scooting over his cock. She’d press down tightly as she rubbed towards his tip, before easing up on the trip to the base. It was like she were trying to squeeze a tube of toothpaste empty. And she would soon work.
	With a few more strokes, Shadow brought up his hands, gripping her hips as his eyes rolled into the back of his head. With a few final bucks, she could feel the rush of excitement burst out of him. Up the crevice betwixt her buttocks and onto Shadow’s stomach, he came. His belly got drenched in his own seed, and Shadow’s tongue’d lulled out past his lips as his vision was filled with an intense flurry of colors. His body was rigid as he’d emptied himself under that lemur’s booty, until he collapsed under her, having more than spent himself against her.
	Tangle sighed, sliding her finger between her cheeks to get some of the cum, before she licked it.
	“Mmm~” she sighed. She smiled and looked down at Shadow, who was too weak to stand. “Hm… Guess I win again~” And then, she blew up the bubblegum in her mouth, up until it popped.
