Claws on my Heart
It was spring, the last of the winter's snow had melted and life began to come back to the land of Kor. I woke up steadily, enjoying the only slightly cold morning as sunlight drifted through the wooden boards that made up my room. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes I sat up, it was a humble sight my life was nothing overtly special looking at my thick and rough bedding on my bed of straw. Swinging my feet out of the bed they landed on the cold hard ground instantly shocking me awake as my skin cried for warmth. I got up and walked over to the broken mirror I had propped up against the wall, I always did like my own reflection. My dark brown hair had gotten long over the course of winter but I kept my beard trimmed short, soft brown eyes looking back at me. I considered myself above average for a human, my masculine features coming in nicely ever since I had turned 16, this year I would turn 17. Flexing a bit in the mirror I could see some muscle had come in, looking toned but really I just had no fat on my body. Smiling a bit as I touched my chest, finally having a few stray hairs coming in along my pectorals and a happy trail leading down to my crotch. I no longer saw the boy I was last winter, I saw the man I was finally turning into. I brushed my hair out with a simple comb I had placed on top of my dresser until it was relatively neat before tying it behind my head. Tossing on a clean set of clothes from my dresser, they were rough and had been mended a few times but I didn't mind. The white shirt and brown pants always brought out my best features. I pushed my way through the single doorway leading into the main room, my parents room on the opposite side of the house. It was a simple home, just three rooms was enough space for us all thankfully. I could see that both of my parents were already out as the kitchen fire was put out and some gruel was waiting in a wooden bowl for me. I never liked that we had to eat such simple and cheap food but it gets us through the winters. I hesitantly scoop the contents into my mouth with a spoon the bland flavor of preserved corn and whatever else we had hitting my palate. Opting to scarf it down quickly rather than savor the lack of taste I was ready to start the day. Slipping on a pair of sandals I close the door behind me and head outside. 
It was a beautiful sight like our springs always were, grasses and flowers had sprung up where only blankets of snow used to be. The trees regrew all of their leaves as rays of sunlight danced through the sight. I walked through the path that had been carved by our footsteps over the years, I took it upon myself to make it official a few years ago lining the path to town with rocks on both sides. It took me ages and my father told me I was an idiot for wasting my time with such a task but I did it for me. It just felt right to have a more official path than just dirt. 
It took me a few minutes to walk into town, I always loved walking through nature to get there. Through birdsong and a brisk breeze I finally saw it, the forge where my father worked the fires already hot as I heard him hammer away at another piece of equipment. Being the son of a blacksmith wasn't the worst, the profession was always in demand. While my father worked hard to make tools for the village and everything in between I aspired to be a weaponsmith. That is where the real gold was, not crafting tools for peasants but swords for kings. The hammer striking hot metal got louder as I walked inside, seeing my bear of a father hard at work making what looked to be farm tools. There was always someone that needed a replacement in exchange for food or coin, but it was usually food not many people had coin here. He was tall at around six feet and quite husky, working the forge had left his arms and chest thick with muscle. We shared the same dark brown hair and similar features, people said I was his spitting image. He looks at me with a tired expression "About time, you can hammer out some axes while I finish the spades." It was a small consolation that my father let me practice on something that could be considered a weapon even though they were all used to cut wood. 
"Sure thing old man, don't want you to hurt yourself." I took a chunk of raw iron and tossed it into the forge, billowing air until it was hot enough to work with. We didn't talk much in the forge considering we were always out of breath.
Morning turned into afternoon, which soon became dusk. We took several breaks and made a few deals with people coming by the forge, stopping to eat every now and then. By the end of day I had created two fine looking axes, affixed to wood I had carved during the wintertime. Not much to do when you're trapped by walls of snow, I had taken up whittling with a small knife, it felt good to be useful. My father picked them up and gave them each a swing to test them out, the balance and wight of them felt good to me and it looked like he agreed. "You're getting better, we will make you a weaponsmith yet. Maybe this year we can finally take that trip to Drakefall and get you to apprentice under Leo." 
Hearing this made me smile from ear to ear, I had never been to a city before and Drakefall was the capital. All sorts came through there for trade and travel, humans and non-humans alike. Truth be told I had only ever met a few, a wolfman who was a wandering trader from the far north and some type of feline that was just passing through. The wolfman stayed a while and was nice enough to tell me about the world, sharing stories of his homeland and distant shores alike. We didn't have much coin to trade with him so he didn't stay long, I just think he liked to have someone to talk to that didn't flinch at the sight of him. Seeing his brown fur, sharp canines, piercing gold eyes, and paws was a shock to the villagers as he spoke fluently with us. Must have been the first time meeting a wolfman for them, but I felt no fear only curiosity. I had learned that there were four main species in our land, the wolves of the north, humans to the south, felines to the west, and mustelids to the east. I didn't even know what a mustelid was, from what I remember they were long and furry creatures. He explained that long ago each race settled in the land where the climate was more favorable to them. Then the rest is history, races banded together, formed armies, drew territories, and arose the four kingdoms in the land of Kor. 
I had chatted with my father a bit more, bombarding him with questions about it, when are we leaving? How will we get there? What is Leo like? He waited for me to stop rambling before he replied. "Easy son, one thing at a time. Leo and I apprenticed together under the same man, but unlike me he never got married and moved to the countryside. Last I heard he was a weaponsmith in the city, makes a good living on it. As for getting there, I was thinking we could buy passage on a caravan and make things simple we have enough coin saved up for the journey I'm sure. Your mother and I know you have your heart set on it, and if you're any son of mine you'll make a fine smith no matter what you're hammering out." Hearing him say this filled me with joy, it was literally a dream come true. I decided to take my leave for the day and go wash up in the river, it was about that time of day anyway. 
It only takes a 10 minute walk to get to the river, it was rather calm for this time of year when all the snow had melted. As the sun is just starting to set I see Sam walking up behind me, we were friends since we were both kids and he'd never admit it, but I see him staring at how my body was changing. He was two years younger than me but I didn't mind, there wasn't really anyone else I got along with. He would saunter up just as I was taking off my soot stained shirt and washing it in the water, taking a minute to check out my slightly hairy chest. 
"Hey Daniel, another hard day at work? You sure smell like it."
I'd smile back at him "That's how it always is, and besides I got something to tell you but let's wash up first."
He was the son of a farmer destined to work his family's land for the rest of his life. It always tied a knot in my stomach knowing that he was expected to marry a woman and keep the family going, we'd probably never become romantic like that. But that didn't mean we couldn't have a little bit of fun on the side. 
"I got some good news Sam, but you gotta promise to keep it between us."
"When have I not kept it to myself? ... Well don't keep me waiting what is it?"
"My dad finally agreed to take me to Drakefall and intoduce me to Leo, I can finally become a weaponsmith in the city. I'll be making swords for the king's men before you know it."
I see him become a bit crestfallen, I was worried he'd take it the wrong way. I was leaving this little slice land behind and moving on with my life, while he was chained to it. I got to chase my dreams, something that was rare in Kor. 
"That's great man, I'm happy for you. Wish I could visit the city someday will you at least send word with all that gold you'll be swimming in?" 
"Of course, maybe I'll send back an ornamental hoe just for you as well." Giving him a little wink, teasing of course. "Speaking of swimming, I do smell after a long and hard day." I place my shirt on a rock in the sunlight to dry as I take off my pants, standing completely nude in front of him before I get in the water, letting it wash away the day. He didn't say a word, just mesmerized by the body of the man I was becoming, I couldn't blame him for it, I did tease him on occasion. He just stood there and blushed, it was quite cute seeing him get all worked up. "You coming in to join me?"
Hearing that gave him a little shock, I saw him grip his own clothes rather tightly obviously struggling with the idea of liking men, when he was raised his whole life being told he was supposed to like women and eventually marry one to have a family. I watched him strip, his body was okay, not much meat on his bones like me, we usually got by not eating enough to build ourselves up. He wasn't a hairy beast like me either, no beard, no chest hair, not much of anything. I didn't mind, he jumped in with a splash not wanting to give me too much of a show. We idly washed ourselves, until I was free of soot and he was free of dirt. As the sun was starting to set I just looked at his cute face for a while in thought. It looked like I was weirding him out as he stared back. I took initiative, walking over to him as our lower halves were obscured by the water. Placing my hand gently on the back of his head as I stared into his eyes. 
"I can see you checking me out all the time Sam, I know you like what you see. I might be leaving soon, but I wanted to give you this before I left." 
He was frozen in place, a mix of emotions coursing through him. I pull his lips to mine and give him a passionate kiss. I can feel him immediately inhale sharply and tense up. I pull his body to mine and he relaxes, giving in and returning the affection. We stay like that for a while, just smacking our lips together and enjoying our pent-up desires. I can feel his cock hardening against my own, we start to hump them together instinctively. Before we can get to the really good part, he breaks the connection between us.
"Wow, well uh, I s-should be going. It's going to be dark soon."
I just give him a warm smile, figures that he would back out he was never the courageous type. I decided not to push it, just let him go at his own pace. We get out of the water as the excitement passes and we get dressed. I can tell he is still conflicted about how he feels, we barely say a word as we walk back to our separate homes, falling into our separate beds. How I wanted to change that word, separate. I knew it probably wouldn't be with Sam, but with another man at least. It was taboo for two males to be together, we had to keep the family line going after all. Darkness fell on another day as I drifted off to sleep thankful that I had someone to share my feelings with anyway. 
I woke up with a shock, I had heard something crack in the distance. Looking outside I was met with my worst nightmare. I could see smoke and fire coming from the direction of town. Getting up I ran into my parents' room; they were always heavy sleepers. I shook them awake and showed them what was going on. My mother covered her mouth in surprise, but my father was stoic as ever. He started to calmly pack our things into a few bags. Giving me and my mother orders to gather up what little valuable we had, we weren't sticking around to find out what was going on. 
As we are all standing in the main room of the house when we hear a hauntingly sharp song being whistled right outside our door. I can see through the cracks, it was a tall male feline. He was holding a bloody jagged sword, I can see the life leave my mother's eyes as my father picks up one of the axes I had forged the other day. He hands me the sack of coins we had saved up. "Take care of your mother."
Those were his last words to me as he charged the door, it was old and weak after so many years exposed to the elements. The thing easily splintered and shattered as the cat was taken by surprise being knocked down and pinned under what remained of our front door. I didn't waste any time, I grabbed my mother's arm and started to run towards the river. We could mask our scent and trail by the water if these bandits meant to pursue. Pursue they did, having heard the commotion we could see two more of them surround my father as he held up the axe ready for a fight. For the first time in my life I felt so panicked, fear, I didn't want to look back. I wanted to live. I hear another whistling sound through the air, followed by a sickening crunch as the arrow had found its mark. My mother wailed in pain as she was shot through the leg, she could run no longer. I looked at her with tears in my eyes as the realization set in, I would have to leave her behind too. She took a few deep breaths and mustered the courage to speak "Daniel, RUN."
I let go of her arm, the coward in me winning. What was I supposed to do against several armed opponents as a fairly scrawny human? I just started to run, as fast as I could. I could hear them shouting behind me. "One's getting away!" another replied, "Fuck him, we got enough for to sell for now." It felt like a rock had sunk in my stomach, they were slavers, and my community was now their property. Judging by the bloody blade, you either went willingly or you weren't worth the trouble and made an example of. I was panicked and out of breath, I came up to the burning ruins of the town as the fires still roared masking my scent and presence from the felines. I took a minute to catch my breath as I laid down behind some plant cover, I could make out a few voices over the chaos. "This is the one boss, saw this little cocksucker with a man in the river." I couldn't hear Sam, but I could see him. He looked scared for his life, panicked, tears stained his face. Punishment for gay males was always more severe and cruel, but the cats didn't seem to mind. 
I could overhear a deep gruff voice drown out all the others "Little cocksuckers always fetch a good price with the right buyer, such a young one is gonna make us rich boys! Where's the other one did you lot find him yet?" Fear starts to take me again, seeing them drag Sam away knowing that could be me tonight. Tears well up in my eyes, he doesn't deserve this. Would we all have been spared if we didn't have our make out session in the river? Adrenaline is still pumping through my veins, I don't care right now. I want to live, I don't want to be caught. I can feel the burning in my limbs calm down a bit, they were definitely going to look for me. I don't look back, I just start running again once I'm out of earshot. I find the river and cross it washing away my scent. I don't stop running, I keep going and going, where am I going? Just away I tell myself as I take a break every now and then, but just keep going without looking back. My legs burn, my lungs burn, I'm cold as I clutch what few belongings I have. I curiously count the coins my father handed me, there was a surprising amount of money. Five gold coins, 10 silver, and 27 copper. It would be more than enough, once I had calmed down I started to process what had just happened. I slumped down against a hollowed-out tree, taking shelter in its embrace as I started to cry myself to sleep. My best friend was being sold as a sex slave. While my father was probably dead and the rest of the town was sold off in a similar fashion. The tears welled up as they fell down my face, small sobs being lost in the night as my good life was turned upside down in the blink of an eye. I did not sleep well.
Morning came which made me aware I was still alive and alone. It was a small mercy as I stretched my cold stiff limbs hearing the joints crack. The only thought that came into my head in that moment was the plan, make it to Drakefall, find Leo, make him take me in as his apprentice. It was the only path I had at the moment, hopefully showing up there without dad wouldn't be an issue. Passing on the bad news wasn't going to be pleasant either.
But where am I? I looked around and saw nothing but trees, hearing the roaring water in the distance. I head back down to the river and remember a map I once saw, Drakefall was far downstream closer to the ocean as the river grows wider and more violent. It was my only option at the moment, I'd have to forage for food until I found someone to trade with. I walked for what felt like an eternity, just me and my thoughts of the previous night. It felt like a bag of rocks was tied around each ankle as each step got harder, until I collapsed on the ground to take a break.
I didn't want to keep walking, it felt so hard as the guilt weighed on me. The thoughts in my head wouldn't stop racing "Your fault, abandoned your mother, coward, should have fought." I lay there for what feels like forever as the sun shifts in the sky. I get over it soon enough, getting back on my feet and keep on walking. Taking the main road would be much easier than traversing the wilderness, but I had no idea where it was. If there was a god he was smiling down upon me that day, I saw a bridge in the distance and a caravan crossing it at that very moment three carriages pulled by horses. I broke off into a sprint, this meant an opportunity for food, transportation, shelter, safety.
I come up to one of the carriages as a human guard looks at me with a stern expression, just another stray in his eyes not even worth drawing the sword he held at his side. He calls out to the woman driving the caravan out front "Got a kid here Maria, you want him gone?" my heart sank into my stomach, hopes being dashed just as soon as they came before I heard her reply. 
"Don't be so heartless Marcus, we haven't encountered a bad soul on this road for ages. Come on up to the front boy let me get a look at you."
I walk past the guard at a brisk pace, his intimidating features urging me onwards. The woman driving the caravan is an older woman with messy black hair all tied behind her head in a ponytail, she looked to be in her 50s at least. She looks me up and down, my ragged clothes, probably messy face and distraught expression.
"Good god son, what happened to you?"
I just keep pace with the caravan to have our conversation. I consider pouring my heart out in that very moment, to get the pain off of my chest, to cry about my woes. But I had a goal, nobody wants to travel with a crybaby wailing in the back. I gather myself as I prepare to give her the abridged version of events.
"Last night, feline slavers came to my town, Red Grove. They killed people who resisted, enslaved the rest, but I just ran, and ran, until ... well here I am." I leave out mostly everything, she didn't need to know the details.
"Damn those cats, the king really needs to do something about our border with them they get bolder every year, we'll have to deliver news of this, but I'll be honest they're going to be long gone by the time we even reach Drakefall. Now don't take my generosity for granted but you're more than welcome to join us on the journey there. You don't look like you got anything of value on you besides that pretty face, you got a profession?"
I nod in reply, keeping the money I had on me a secret, it was better this way.
"My father trained me as a blacksmith, I can forge most tools people use, and I can make a mighty fine axe. I'm actually hoping to get to Drakefall, there's someone that might take me in as his apprentice. I want to forge weapons one day, good enough to be worthy of a king."
She looks at me with renewed interest "A smith's son eh, not a bad profession, always work for a smith these days. Good to have a goal in mind, give yourself something to work toward. If you don't mind me askin, who are you planning to meet?"
I don't hold back, she seems nice and genuinely willing to help "His name's Leo and he works as a weaponsmith in Drakefall, that's all I got from my dad before..." I trail off, bleak images playing out in my mind of how he might have died that night. 
"You don't have to talk about it, nasty business that lot of cats. But you're in luck I actually know Leo, he maintains the gear for our guards a good man. Why don't you hop on the back of my carriage your legs must be tired. We're about two days away from Drakefall at this pace."
I look at her with a smile on my face, a wave of relief and comfort washing over me knowing there were still good people in the world. I hopped on the back, and the rocking of the carriage lulling me back to sleep, I didn't realize how tired I was. 
Those two days passed relatively quickly, the caravan was made up of all humans, as it usually was in these parts. I told them only a few more details of that night, it was unheard of for felines to be preying on people across the border, slavery was common in their kingdom but not ours. They fed me and in exchange I mended a few iron implements they had, it was a fair enough trade. 
Coming up to the grand gates of Drakefall made my jaw drop, the stone walls stood tall and proud towering at least 30ft into the air lined by patrols of guards, even managing to catch glimpse of one wolfman. The city was sprawling out in all directions, buildings as far as the eye could see, and a gleaming jewel of achievement in the distance. The king's castle rose tall over everything, built on top of a natural hill with its back to a cliff. I had a brief conversation with Maria as we got inside the city gates. 
"This is your first time in the city isn't it, its written all over your face. But don't you worry about that nasty business with those cats, can't change the past and I'll make sure the right people know what happened. We got some business to take care of here so I can't hold your hand but you seem strong you'll be fine. Leo's forge is in the eastern section of town just follow the smoke.
I look up in the sky to the east and sure enough I can see a long black streak of smoke trailing off into the sky, with several others in different directions. 
"Thank you Maria, I don't think I would have made it if I didn't run into you, you're truly kind. I hope to repay you for it one day."
She shakes her head "Oh no, don't be like that I just did what everyone should do when they see a soul in need. Just promise me to pay it forward some day and we'll call it even."
I give her a firm nod "That sounds good to me, hopefully I'll see you again some day." I start walking off in the direction of Leo's forge, waving goodbye to the kind woman.
I take in the sights and smells of the city, it was somehow worse than I imagined. It stank like dirty people, things looked grubby in general some of the houses having been there for many years. The ground beneath my feet was paved with stones saving me from getting covered in mud as I made my way down one of the streets. I seemed to blend in with the populace, people wearing cheap and rough clothes with not much to their name. I was just carrying my worldly possessions, clothes, a few tools from home, and the coin my father gave me. Everyone looked down and dejected in general save for a few squealing children playing in the street who seemed genuinely happy. Before I knew it I there I was, having reached my destination I can hear the familiar striking of a hammer down upon hot metal, smell the burning forge inside as I walk in half expecting to find my father there staring back at me. Instead, I see a well built man, his blonde hair stained with streaks of black as his muscular arms and chest ripple with each strike of his hammer. He had to be atleast twice my size, and a good foot of height on me. He turned to look at me, his rugged features catching my eye along with his blue eyes. He spoke in a deep gruff voice "Who're you and whaddya want?"
I didn't really know where to start, but I suppose if he knew my father that was a good place as any. 
"My name is Daniel you don't know me, but you knew my father. His name was Droki he said you apprenticed together."
I see his eyes light up at the mention of my father's name. "Ah, so that old fool really did it then. Married that girl and whisked her away to the country away from here. You his son I take it? Where's that man I wouldn't mind seeing him again after all this time."
My face goes pale and I can see he immediately knows something is wrong. He puts down his hammer and cools the piece of equipment he was working on, placing it on the anvil for later. 
"What happened?" his question was simple yet loaded at the same time, a conversation I was dreading this whole time. If I couldn't stay here, where would I go?
"Slavers took most of Red Grove. My father fought a few of them off so I could escape, I just kept on running and running, until I got here." Just ripping the bandage quickly was best, no need to get into grizzly details. 
His expression got dark, like a man falling into despair. The news must have hit him hard, I didn't realize my dad used to be so close with this man, almost as if ... no it was different from me and Sam. But people do say I was his spitting image so its not impossible. I decide to ask anyway.
"Were you two close? I'm sorry but I think I was the only one who made it."
He nods "Aye, you could say that we were. I had hoped to repay him one day, so what brings his son to my doorstep?"
"Before the attack he would tell me about you sometimes, how you stayed in Drakefall forging weapons to make a living, and I wanted to become a weaponsmith too. He said he would take me to see you this year and see about an apprenticeship, but I had to make the journey alone. I didn't really have any idea of where else to go.
He stand there in thought for a minute, rubbing his forehead as he contemplates what to do. "Listen, you look like a strong young man but I don't really see myself taking in an amateur I got orders to fill and work to do, no time to be wasting."
I steel myself, not letting it go this way "Let me show you what I can do, my father trained me well. Please, I know I was meant to forge just like you two were just give me a chance, and if you don't like my work.... I'd be open to suggestions of where else to go."
He lets out a heavy sigh while looking at my stern expression, I puff my chest out to show him what I was made of which was not much admittedly. He nods his head and grabs a chunk of raw iron from the pile in a corner tossing it my way.
"Show me what you can do."
I don't smile I just take that hunk of iron and get to work. I spend the rest of the day and my energy forging the blade of an axe. Folding the metal again and again, forcing it into a crescent shape. By the time the sun starts to set it is a hefty blade as I take it to the grinder sharpening it to a point as it sparkles in the firelight. I have it attached to a crude handle made from what was around, presenting my work to Leo. He handles the blade with care, looking at the edges, feeling the metal and how it was holding up. 
"Not bad at all he did train you well, but I make more than just axes here, you know how to forge any other weapons?" I shake my head, axes and farm tools was all I knew.
I see a little light go off in his head "Well you got a real fine foundation I'll give you that. I guess I could let you watch me work, give you a chance to practice when the orders stop flowing in like a raging river."
With that a huge weight was lifted off of my chest. I spent the next two years in the forge with that man, having a hammer to swing let me take my mind off of my loss and I just focused on improving my craft. 
It was my 19th birthday, life in Drakefall was nothing to write home about if I had a home to write back to. I worked hard, Leo was a good man he made sure I was fed enough and my body started filling out, my chest and arms getting bigger and stronger every year. I still kept my hair somewhat long and beard trimmed short, my chest never put on much more hair. I had met many new people, including foreign species. I was never fond of cats, but I got along well enough with the wolfmen and mustelids. Having learned my lesson I made sure to keep my sexual preferences a secret, although it made people wonder when I would turn down pretty young ladies.
Leo was kind enough to introduce me to drinking, my first taste being some cheap wine. It didn't taste great, but I loved how it made me feel. Really made me forget the past and be able to enjoy the present. We were in just another one of the local taverns, filled with people shouting and laughing as they got roaring drunk. I had to admit I felt right at home in that moment. Leo gets up saying he had enough and tells me to come back to the forge when I finish my drink. I watch him go, seeing that ass walk away gets me thinking. I push those thoughts to the side, it wasn't proper in the city to be like me. As I'm throwing back the last bit of cheap wine I see quite a large wolfman walk in, his fur was black as midnight, he towered over everyone else in here. He must have been at least 7ft tall with a long black cloak which covered most of his body. His large footpaws splayed out on the ground as he walks up to the counter, everyone has gone silent now as he orders something and goes to sit in a corner. I can't help but to keep looking at him, I see his long point ears, that swishing bushy tail, but most of all the impressive spear he carried on his back. I see a pair of golden piercing eyes look back at me, but it doesn't frighten me, he looks so handsome. I smile at him and wave in his direction trying to be friendly. Some of the other patrons pick up on this and get other ideas, drunk people aren't the most rational. 
Some drunkard yells "Oi, you tryna screw that pooch over there?" everyone but me and the wolf would laugh and point. It was such an absurd notion in this society that two males, let alone two males of a different species be together. 
The wolfman does not like the attention, I can see him scowling out of the corner of my eye as a barmaid brings him a plate of cooked meat which he tears into hungrily. 
I decide I've had enough and get up to go home, stumbling clumsily outside as I walk down the street. Behind me I can hear a few men catch up with me and assault my ears with more stupid questions "Oi, me and my buds r-really wanna know. The way you were lookin at that dog seemd like you wanted to fuck im, so do ya? Cause we don't need people like YOU around." 
They stop infront of me blocking my path, I drunkenly slur out a few words "Nah uh, I was just bein nice, aint notin wrong wit bein nice." I move to go around them and they move with me to block the way. 
"Ya see, tha sounds like something some cock sukin fag would say wouldn't you agree boys?" they all look at me with murder in their eyes. I feel myself being backed into a corner, was this really happening? Behind them I see a large looming figure with a hood pulled over his face, snout poking out as his wet nose glistens in the night the wolfman from the corner. He speaks in a surprisingly suave voice "Aint nodoby fukin me tonight."
All of them spin around, he has his spear drawn and slams it down on the ground for emphasis. "Nothing wrong with bein nice is there?"
They all look at each other, nobody really knows what to say as they just drunkenly shuffle away as one calls out "I knew it, you'll get whats comin to ye!" 
I wait for them to be out of earshot as I speak up "Thanks for the save, I'm not much of a fighter." I look up to meet his gaze, he seems intrigued that I'm not running for my life too. 
"Don't mention it." He starts taking long strikes to walk away, I stumble forward and manage to keep pace with him. 
I do my best not to make a drunken fool of myself as I stumble along side him "Thanks again uhm, my names Daniel and you saved me tonight."
He replies in that deep suave voice again "Yeah, you're welcome Daniel. Why don't you go home you're drunk."
I don't really get the message "So what's your name?"
I can see him looking me up and down thinking for a minute before he replies as we walk together through the night. "Just call me wolf." He likes to keep his replies short and simple.
"No cmon everyone has a name, your name can't just be wolf, like my name can't just be human." I stumble forward and catch myself, picking up the pace to catch up to him.
He chuckles to himself as he watches me make a fool of myself. "You probably won't remember me in the morning, but fine my name's Killian." 
I say it again and again in my head, I like the sound of it. "Mmm, well thanks for coming to my rescue tonight Killian. Just so you know, I wasn't trying to sleep wit ya, you just looked so handsome sitting in the corner I couldn't look away." I catch myself saying more than I intended looking up at him for an angry face, but all I'm met with is a warm toothy grin as she shows of his sharp canines. 
"I could tell. Most humans are too scared to look me in the eye, you just went for it drunk or not." It took me a second to register what just happened, he didn't give me a negative answer.
"You live here or just passing through?" I just blurt out questions, wanting to get to know this mysterious man more and more with every second. 
He points to the long impressive spear on his back, shining with a kind of luster I have never seen before. "I'm a merc, figured I'd stay here and make some coin with the felines poking their damn noses where they don't belong." I can hear a twinge of emotion in his words but can't quite place it.
"Makes sense, you're huge, and I really like your spear. I work as a weaponsmith and I've never seen a weapon quite like yours before." Before I know it I'm looking at a wall where we have come to a stop.
He doesn't answer and just looks at me expectantly, like he wasn't planning on me tagging along this long. There is an awkward silence between us as I start to think a bit before blurting out another stupid question. "Do you, not have a place ta sleep?" He stares at me a bit as he looks around and gives up. "No."
I give him a big confident smile as I reach for one of his big furry paws, taking it in my hand. His fur was soft, and I can feel the power in his paw. "The least I can do is put a roof over your head tonight, come back with me. It won't be much but its better than an alley." 
He grumbles and mumbles under his breath before coming to a decision "Fine." As he pulls his paw free of my hand, realizing what I had done I apologize profusely. I can see him roll his eyes at this and gets me to lead the way back across to the other side of town. 
"So, I'm still curious, your spear looks ... special." Staring at the impressive work of art he carried.
He nods in response "Yeah, it's special."
Dragging information out of him was tough, so I give up. We walk the rest of the way in relative silence as I start to sober up, no longer stumbling around able to keep pace with him easily now.
"Sorry if I made a fool of myself, tonight is my 19th birthday and I went a little too hard for my first time drinking." He raises and what I assume is an eyebrow as he looks me up and down.
"Only 19? You look good for a human your age, well built not scrawny or fat." I can feel myself start to blush beet red at the compliment, it was the first one I had gotten from someone I had feelings toward. It was easy for Killian to pick up on this.
"Mm, whats the matter Daniel so you do want to ... get to know me better?" I can feel his strong warm paw on my shoulder as we round the corner, the forge and my home in sight. He squeezes down, it feels good as his fingers dig into the muscle. I try my best to control myself as I breathe in deep to calm myself. 
"I guess you could say that, yeah I want to get to know you better. I've never seen a wolfman with such dark fur wielding a spear, you must be pretty deadly with that weapon." I see his eyes light up with mischief as he's looking down at me. 
"So interested in my spear, although I can't help but wonder, what else are you interested in?" I see him hook a finger under his waistband and give it a playful tug.
I stammer and look up at him, was this really happening? My face went all hot again as my heart started pounding out of my chest, I swear he could feel the vibrations through his hand on my shoulder. It's painfully obvious that I'm interested in more than just his metal rod. I swoon as he grins down at me, never been in this position before, I was usually the big strong man towering over my quarry. I liked the way he made me feel in his presence, small, safe, accepted, wanted. 
He has mercy and breaks the silence "But I've traveled all day, and spent most of my coin on that pile of meat, I'm tired lets just sleep."
I let out a sigh of disappointment, or maybe relief? I take him to the small room I had built in the past two years for myself. The bed was pitifully small for him, I can see why he would sleep outside no human accommodations would hold a man of his stature. He grumbles in disappointment "Too small." He just looks at me expectantly. 
I take him back outside, lining the outside of the forge are piles of hay we use to light fires. I spread out the clumps into an evenly spaced bed long enough to hold the massive wolfman. I can hear him audibly sigh, but smiles at me anyway. "Thanks Daniel, this is better than being exposed on the street and at least my fur won't get dirty."
I can breathe out a sigh of relief as he lays down getting situated. "I'm sorry it's not much, but it's all I have really. Goodnight Killian, will you be here in the morning?"
He cracks open an eye and yawns "Mmm, not likely."
With that we say goodnight and I head off to bed, praying that I would see that beautiful wolfman again. 
Morning soon came and with it a wave of disappointment, seeing that Killian was true to his word and the spot where he slept was now empty. I grumble angrily at myself, convinced that it was all my fault for being a drunken fool and how the most handsome wolfman I had ever seen was gone forever. I had a massive headache as I stumbled into the forge to be met with Leo's cheery attitude. 
"Ah there he is, have a good birthday? Not everyday a man comes of age sorry it wasn't a huge party but we make do with what we got."
I nod sleepily as I start to wake up "Drinking is fun I can see why people get addicted. Ran into a little trouble but a wolfman came to my rescue." I realize my slip up a little too late, the rosy memory of Killian still fresh in my mind as Leo gives me a long stare.
"And how did pray tell, did a wolfman come to your rescue walking home princess?"
I can tell he's teasing me but I don't put much thought into it "Just a couple of drunks looking for a fight, aint no fighting him he was huge with midnight black fur, very intimidating."
I can tell Leo is surprised by this as well "Tall, black fur, wearing a cloak and carrying spear?" 
My eyes are now fully open and I shoot awake instantly "Yes that sounds about right."
"Figures, found im taking a nap out back, that your doing I suppose? Try not to make it a habit people might start talking." He gives me a stern glare, I get the message.
We take up the rest of the day filling orders, I have grown as a smith since coming here Leo trusts me with more and more responsibilities. He's not my father, but he sure acts like it sometimes. As each order is filled it seems like someone else comes in to place one. As tensions rise between the kingdoms of feline and human more people are commissioning weapons to protect themselves on the roads as the king barely lifts a finger to police his own territory. Seeing no issues as long as his cup and plate are stacked high with delicacies.
Like out of a dream, that big black wolfman pokes his head in the doorway. He speaks up suddenly giving us both a scare. "Hello, you guys taking orders?"
Before Leo even has a chance to register what's happening I speak up "Yeah of course we're taking orders, what do you need?" I can see the look in Leo's eyes he knows for sure, we never talk about it openly but he's supportive of me being homosexual but nobody every talks about being with another species, it's just unheard of.
Killian speaks up a bit louder this time as he comes inside "I got a job, going to need some daggers for delicate work." He looks down at me, then to Leo realizing the situation. "I would appreciate it if someone was to deliver them to me personally, at this location." He handed me a piece of parchment, with a map of Drakefall. There was a path drawn out leading fairly deep into the wilderness ending at what appeared to be a small spring of some sort. My ears couldn't mistake the jingling of coins in his pouch either as he plopped them down on a nearby table. "Need three short blades, one dagger, two knives. Is this enough to cover them and the delivery fee?" I pick up the pouch, opening it up it was filled with silver, more than enough for such a request. 
"This is more than enough sir, I can probably have them ready by the end of the day, but as for the delivery. I would have to show up late at night this is a ways away." He shoots me a little wink out of the corner of his eye making my heart skip a beat, it was ... far. Nobody would see us out there. Leo is surprisingly silent during the exchange as I shake Killian's hand and get back to work as he leaves.
It does not take him long to speak up again "Careful, you're playing a dangerous game lad. That wolfman is a big fellow he could snap you in two if he wanted to. But I can see that you two like each other enough, and who am I to deny you. Who knows the next time you'll get an opportunity like this that actually pays. Make sure that dagger and knives are perfect if you want to make a good impression."
Hearing his pep talk was all I needed, my chest was filled with excitement and heat. I'd make him the best damn blades he had ever seen, apart from his own I suppose. The rest of the day went as expected and by the end we had finished several orders and pushed some to the next day so I could go meet my mysterious suitor out in the woods. I decided to go all out, taking a bath to make myself presentable. I smelled like soap instead of sweat and soot, a big improvement. 
The time had come, I wrapped up Killian's order. I had made the best damn blades of my life, according to Leo. The metal was hard but not brittle, the edges sharp, deadly sharp. I had fitted them into handles that I had carved myself, even taking some time to shape them to fit his paws. I still remember how they felt that night. 
The path he had drawn out for me was easy enough to follow with very obvious landmarks along the way, it helped that I knew the area somewhat as well. As the moon was high in the sky I come across his camp, he had set up next to a natural hot spring. I saw equipment, and a very long bedroll laid out to the side. I thought he didn't have anywhere to sleep. Liar just wanted to spend time with me too, sneaky wolf. Come to think of it, he did have a lot of coin to pay for the blades, what else was he hiding. A large furred paw coming down on my shoulder shocked me out of my train of thought making me jump in place as I look to see Killian right behind me. I didn't hear a single sound as he snuck up on me. 
"Holy... you almost made me jump out of my skin." I panted and stared up at his big beautiful golden eyes as they glowed in the moonlight.
"I might be big, but I know how to be quiet. Unlike you, could hear you stomping through the woods a mile away." He gives me a reassuring smile as he sees the shipment that I have wrapped up and slung across my back. "So, you got something nice to show me?"
I can see what he was trying to do "Of course, you did pay generously for them after all." I take out the three blades he had commissioned and he holds them up in the light, inspecting them. I see him take a few experimental swings and stabs, even throwing one of the knives as it slides all the way to the hilt in a nearby tree giving me chills. 
"Mmm, these are good, and you even managed to adjust the grip to fit my paws. Not many people take the time and care to cater to other species needs." I can see a little smile across his muzzle as he shows me a fang. "That's business concluded, but it would be such a shame for you to come all the way out here and not take a dip in this hotspring I found." As he pointed to the very warm looking pool behind him.
I look back at him with what I can only assume is lust in my eyes as my pants suddenly start to feel tight. "That does seem like it would be a shame, will you be joining me by any chance?"
I can see I have set a fire in his eyes as his gaze fixates on me with a deep rumble in his chest. "It's been a long time since I have had another man to accompany me like this." I can't help but breathe out a sigh upon hearing him say that. I'm still a virgin things with Sam never went far, but Killian seemed like he knew what he was doing and I could trust him to have a good time. I couldn't lie that I was curious what a wolfman looked like between the legs, I had heard rumors but I wanted to see for myself. 
I nervously speak up after finding the courage to tell him. "Listen uh, I've never actually done anything like this. You'd be my first time with anyone."
I can hear him growl hungrily as he licks his lips "Perfect." Something about the way he says it, I can feel his desire emanating off of his fur. He takes off his cloak revealing the chainmail he was wearing underneath and leather armor under that. From what I assume would be to soften any blows to his flesh after his chainmail is struck. I can see his body somewhat for the first time. I can see he has a very well built chest and massive arms, Leo was right he could break me in half. His abs were well hidden under his midnight black fur, a short mane coming around his neck and falling down his back. He can see me check him out as he slips out of his armor putting everything on full display as he stood there in his pants. "First time huh, like what you see?"
I nod furiously "Oh yes, very much. You're breathtaking Killian." 
I'm rewarded with another low growl from his chest at the compliment. "My body is much different than yours, but I'll let you figure that out for yourself." I blush a deep red as he says that, walking closer to close the gap between us. My mind races to what that could mean, there was only one way to find out. I found my position reversed from all those years ago, now I was the young boy standing in front of a tall furry man. It felt good, really good like it was where I needed to be this entire time. Before I knew what was happening, his paw firmly grabbed my chin, lifting my lips up to his as he pressed forward insistently. It felt weird and different but in a good way, his wet nose pressed against my own as his hot breath brushed over my face. I could feel his furred muzzle tickle my face as I tensed up and leaned into the kiss. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close against his chest. It was heaven, he was warm and I could feel all those strong muscles holding me in place. My heart was basically a cannon as it thumped hard against his chest. He started flicking his tongue against my lips and I couldn't resist his advances, they parted on their own. I was a bit shocked feeling his long rough tongue push its way inside my mouth, letting him explore me. He tasted sweet as he kissed me, and I couldn't resist the temptation as he withdrew his tongue, I pushed mine into his muzzle. I felt his sharp teeth, almost cutting my tongue on one as he wrestled with me for a minute. After what felt like ages he pulled back, my face hot as coals and my cock straining against my pants harder than it ever had before. He looked down and smiled at this giving me a single order "Strip."
I was unable to say no to anything he wanted, I needed him badly. I took off my shirt and tossed it to the side, one of his paws started to roam across my frame testing the muscles in my arms and chest, groping them. One of his clawed fingers came to rest on my nipple, starting to play with it. I let out a little moan like a whore, I felt embarrassed "I didn't know that could feel good." I say looking down at his paw playing with me.
"Don't worry, there's a lot you don't know, but I'll show you."
I continue to get naked for him, slipping off my pants as my cock strains against my underwear. I look up at him nervously as his paw trails down, dragging a finger through the hair on my belly leading down to my crotch as he hooks his claw under the waistband, giving it a firm tug and letting it fall between my legs. My cock was hard as a rock, standing at full attention of around 7 inches. I saw him lick his lips and let out another satisfied grumble. "Daniel, don't take this the wrong way but, I want to eat up every inch of you. You handsome man." 
I was beyond flustered, the words just felt right coming from his lips. Our clothes making a small pile around us as I looked between his legs, my curiosity getting the better of me.
"Curious?" he says with a toothy grin. I watch as he slips off of his pants now just standing in front of me in his simple underwear. His legs are massive and digitigrade, I can practically feel the power in them as I reach out a hand and stroke his thigh. "Go on, don't be shy." I couldn't resist his encouragement. Hooking a finger under his waistband as he did me, and being met with a new sight. He had a jet black sheath complete with big balls hanging between his legs, I had no idea what I was looking at. I look up at him for guidance and he gets the message, taking one of my hands in his paw and placing it on the furry sheath. Then it hits me, his scent. It was strong and masculine unlike any human. It didn't stink like sweat, it smelled natural and heavy and I wanted more. He sees it hit me and can't help but let out another pleased growl. "Stroke it."
I obey, my fingers wrapping around his furred sheath and starting to stroke it. I can feel something hard and big come up inside of it, the red tip of his cock poking through the opening. It's new and exciting, I don't stop. I hear him panting above me as I play with him. Soon it looks like about half of it is exposed, throbbing and hard as he leaks pre onto the ground. One of his paws comes to rest on my shoulder, pushing me to my knees. "Please me, use your mouth."
I bite my lip, this was it. I was going to taste such a virile and powerful male for the first time. I hold his hard red member in my hands as I angle the tapered tip to my mouth, he was huge. It looked to be about 6 inches of thick dick and he wasn't fully hard yet. I was so nervous as I leaned forward to lick him experimentally, as my tongue hit the underside of his tip I could hear him tense up and moan. It really must have been a long time. He didn't taste bad, but the smell was stronger it made my head dizzy and my cock throb needily between my legs. I took his tip into my mouth and started to suck gently, hoping I was doing it right. Feeling a firm paw come to the back of my head and push me back and forth gently along it was reassuring, he was loving it. I can barely fit half of him in my mouth as a novice so I stroke the rest of his member with both of my hands. I can see something else coming up through his sheath, it was large and very thick. I touch it with both hands making him buck his hips forward and let out a hiss. It slips out of his sheath and I'm looking at a massive bulb of flesh, impossibly thick and hard. I take his cock out of my mouth in shock and just look at it. I hear him chuckle above me "Mhm, yeah you like that wolf dick don't you. That's called a knot, it locks me with my partner so they can't get away while I flood their guts with cum." I can see he takes great pride in how his massive body dwarfs mine in every way, it makes me feel small and vulnerable to this huge predator, and I love it.
"W-well you're not gonna... put it in me, are you? You're... massive there's no way that's going to fit." I can see a devilish smile spread across his face.
"I would love nothing more than to cram my knot in your ass and break you in two, it would feel fantastic. But since it's your first time I'll go easy on you, don't worry it will fit ... one day." He says that last part possessively, and I find it incredibly hot. 
I nod as he reassures me and his firm paw pushes me onto my back, I relax and lay down for what he has in mind. I see his large looming figure come down to plant another kiss on my lips, then he works his way down. Feeling his rough tongue on my nipples is pure bliss as he drags it slowly across them. Planting kisses down my belly until he reaches my aching cock, pre already leaking down the side of my shaft as his warm furry paw grips my balls and I can't help it but moan like a whore and buck up against him. This pleases him greatly as I watch him lick my shaft up and down, that tongue hitting all the right places as he takes me into his muzzle. I watch his wet nose go all the way down, my dick feeling like its in a wet warm velvety tunnel of pleasure as he sucks my dick. I close my eyes in ecstasy as I realize this is what a blowjob feels like, from a wolfman anyway. He only goes up and down a few times before I pop out of his muzzle. I look up at him with a confused expression, why did he stop? He straddles my hips and his big red cock flops down on my belly, showing just how big he is as the tip rests between my pecs. His hand grips my dick firmly as I feel him nuzzling it between his cheeks.
I lose control for a moment "Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck." Biting my lip in anticipation as he sits back down, I can feel my tip press against his tight pucker and slide inside. I swear I see stars, his ass is better than his mouth. I only last a few moments before I'm bucking up into him as I cum harder than I ever have before. My cock throbs hard and I give him every drop of seed I have in my body. After the most powerful orgasm I have ever had I feel myself slide out of him. His big red cock is still rock hard in front of me.
"What do you want me to do?" I look up at him as I sit up and kiss the tip of his shaft.
He grabs a handful of my ass and gives it a firm squeeze "Ass."
I know why he wants it, it feels incredible, and I want to return the favor, he can see the nervous apprehension on my face. "Don't worry I'll prepare you, it won't hurt. I'll make sure it feels good, really good." He growls into my ear making me swoon.
I get on all fours and present myself to him, arching my back and exposing my virgin hole to the wolfman. I'm panting like a bitch in heat at this point as I feel his presence loom behind me, those furry paws grabbing one of my cheeks in each one and groping them spreading them. Then I feel his hot breath against my tight pucker, surely he wasn't going to... then I feel it his rough tongue licking me back there. I grip my hair in both my hands and let out a long satisfied moan. His tongue touches each never just the right way as his furred muzzle tickles the surrounding area. His paws hold me steady as he spreads my cheeks and dives right in, lapping at my ass hungrily. I just let him do what he wants, he was right it does feel good, really good. He starts to push it inside, gently at first, then needily, and forcefully finally penetrating me with that longue tongue. It doesn't hurt, it feels incredible. I can feel him exploring my insides, it feels weird but good at the same time. He's the first person to be inside me and I want more, I want it deeper. As if he heard my thoughts he takes his tongue out of my now lubed and loosened ass. His weight shifts, his paws grip my hips firmly pulling me back against him. I can feel his warm fur brush against my backside and it sends shivers up my spine, he flops his big cock between my cheeks as he grinds it there for a second. I hear that suave voice call out to me again. "Ready pup?"
I reply like the slut I am "Oh gods, fuck me Killian please." I was basically trembling in his grip as he holds me steady. 
"Yeah, that's a good boy."
He lines his tip up with my lubed hole and presses forward, I try to relax but he really is thick. Eventually he eases it in, slipping inside I hear him let out a satisfied moan. "Oooooohhh yeah, that's real nice." He starts slow, just inching his shaft into me as he fucks me. Each time it gets a bit uncomfortable making me flinch he pulls back and eases it back in. Eventually I feel the thickest part around the mid section of his shaft slide inside, and the rest follows sliding in all the way up to his knot. I must have about 12 inches of wolf cock stuffed up my ass, with that knot still menacingly hard and throbbing against my hole. "It took a while, but I got myself inside you, how's it feel Daniel, you like it?"
I can't help but beg for more, his shaft is pressing against places I didn't even know I had, the way my hole tightens and closes around him feels good. Just being inside me is making my legs tremble. It helps that his firm grip keeps my hips right where he wants them, and it's making me feel good. "Y-yeah.. you were right it feels good, like really good."
He starts panting upon hearing that "You have no idea how happy I am to hear that." I can feel him pull his cock nearly all the way out, my hole stretching around his thick shaft before he shoves it all back inside, pressing against all the right places inside me. He does it again and again, for what feels like hours of him just plowing my ass in the night. His dick is leaking copious amounts of pre making everything nice and slick of us both, it feels amazing. My cock is swinging beneath my legs having gotten hard again as it flings pre against my chest and belly. He's going faster now, and I can feel the power in his thrusts his knot is always slamming against my hole begging for entry. It gives me cause for concern, I like what he's doing so far, but I'm still not ready for that thing. 
"Killian, n-no knot please..." he hears me beg. 
"Shut up." His response takes me by surprise, surely he wouldn't, it feels good so surely he can cum without it couldn't he? I start to get a little nervous at this point, I can feel his claws digging into my sides as he loses himself in the pleasure. Then it comes, I feel him start to press that thick bulb of flesh against my ass but it won't go in of course.
"Killian! Please I-I can't it won't fit." I hear him growl angrily above me now.
He brings his chest down onto my back pushing me flat against the ground, one of his long arms wraps around my neck as he puts me into a headlock. "J-just take it okay. I need this. You can scream and beg if you want to nobody can hear you all the way out here." He starts humping away at my ass with renewed vigor, each time pressing his knot firmly against my hole.
I start to struggle weakly against him, he's just so much bigger and stronger than me there was no hope. "Killian this isn't funny, you're gonna hurt me with that thing." I keep wriggling trying to get out from under the wolfman. He was not messing around he was serious when he said that.
I can feel the growl in his chest as it comes out next to my ear. "Mmm fuck yes. I love it when the virgin boys struggle keep going that shit really gets me going." Each time he brings his hips down on mine it makes me wince in pain, he was really trying to force his knot in my ass.
I didn't want to give in but I struggle harder anyway, straining as hard as I could but no matter how hard I pushed with me arms, flailed with my legs or shook my head I wasn't budging from that spot. I felt one of his paws loosen a bit, then wrap itself around my throat as he started to choke me. I gasped for breath as he squeezed just hard enough to make it difficult to breathe but not impossible. 
Tears are in my eyes as I feel my ass giving way, Killian feels it too and it sends him into a frenzy, I'm getting hot being pinned under him for so long as he breeds me. He gets his knot in about halfway before he has to pull back and try again. I just accept it at this point that he's going to break me. The rest of his cock in my ass still feels tantalizingly wonderful as my body betrays me, my cock is still nice and hard pinned between my furry belly and the ground it's uncomfortable but it's not my cock that's being pleasured. With one final powerful thrust, sending shockwaves through my body he slams his knot inside. I'm shocked at first as he slips inside, stretching me to the point of being painful. His knot is pressing right against that sweet spot I felt earlier, and in my shame I paint the ground and myself with another load of cum. With a loud and deep sound somewhere between a moan and a growl I can hear Killian's climax too. He's panting hard and fast as his cock is throbbing violently in my ass as he has an orgasm, I can feel my belly grow warmer, he was cumming in me. He holds me in that position for what feels like ages before releasing the headlock and sitting back up, his dick still firmly stuck in my ass. Out of breath and panting he speaks first as I roll over to face him "Holy fuck, that was amazing. I see you liked it too little whore." Dragging his finger across the cumstain I had left on the ground, making him smile like the bastard he was.
I don't really know what to say as I wipe the tears from my face, looking back at his majestic form glued to me. "You're an ass." Not really wanting to test my luck against him too much.
That just makes him smile more "Mhm, and you fucking loved it, admit it. You were born to be beneath someone like me, I saw how you acted, the more aggressive I got, the more you moaned like a bitch in heat. It's your fault really, I couldn't help myself."
I don't really know what to say to that, he did make me cum twice and while it was hard to admit, the warm fuzzy feeling in my chest and stomach wasn't going away. It did feel good to be with him, he smelled... different and alluring. His touch was strong and unyielding, I wanted more of him. Not only that, he was the first male I have come across in two years that showed any interest in me at all, no way was I going to give it up. "Fine, you win. Yeah the sex was mind blowing and incredible." Even as I wince, his knot tugging against my stretched and abused hole.
"Mm, that's a good boy, now let's take a dip in the spring we're all dirty. Don't worry about the knot it will go down during our bath." He picks me up and carries me with him still attached to the warm pools, dipping us both in the water. I let out a sigh of relief, it feels amazing and refreshing after what just happened. He starts to show me a different side of him, he grabs a cloth that was resting on a nearby rock and starts to wash my body, even sniffing me to scrub certain areas he thought were dirty. It felt nice to be attended to, nobody had shown me this kind of affection either. He moved onto himself when he was done and then we chatted a while waiting for his knot to shrink. 
"So, maybe now you can tell me about your spear, what's it made out of?"
He pets my head with one of his big paws as he thinks for a moment. "As long as you can keep a secret."
"Of course I can keep a secret, nobody knew I liked men until an irresistible handsome wolf walked into town." This makes him chuckle a bit before he continues.
"We call it Mithril, it's a rare metal only found in the northernmost reaches of this land. The metal is light, harder than iron, stronger than anything else man or anyone can make."
"That sounds valuable, so how the hell did you get enough to make a spear out of it?"
"A story for another time." And with that he gives my ass a firm tug and his knot pops out, sending a shiver throughout my entire body as his shaft slides out along with it. I can feel myself leaking his cum and it makes me blush. "That's a good sight right there, real good." He can't help himself as he spreads my cheeks to get a look at my ruined hole. "it's late, why don't we retire to bed after we dry off?" he points to his singular bedroll off to the side.
It is late, I am tired, but most of all I want him. We get out and dry off, it took him ages longer than me but we got him there. I look to the horizon as we lay down together, his big furry body cradling mine against his chest. It felt wonderful, I was safe with this man and nothing could get me here. The sun started to rise as I drifted off to sleep. "Oh, fuck it." And I closed my eyes.
