Birthday Wish

By: Yahnkehy

Author's notes: Third installment of this four-parter. And, yes, it is already complete. I'll be updating in four days. Thank you so much for your comments and criticism. Concrit is love.

Rating: Such an M rating. But, then again, all of my stuff is... does that mean I'm a hentai? Oh, yeah, forgot about that little quirk to my nature. :P

Pairing: Uh, do you really need to know to enjoy this? Okay, okay, fine.Tasuki/Tama (as most should know seme first and uke follows.)

Disclaimer: Uh, yeah, I own it all right. But, uh, (shifty eyes)I sold it to Watase-sama.(nodnod) Yeah, I sold it, that's the ticket! Oh,wait, you mean REALLY. Oh, then no, sadly, these bishies are NOT mine. No matter how much I WISH Tasuki were mine. I own a Tasuki plushie... does that count?


The party was well underway before Tasuki got sick of shaking hands, night had fallen and the music was thumping, calling him out to drink and dance with the other drunken idiots that were gyrating around the clearing. "Hey, lets cut outta this. I think the rest are just people lookin' for free booze. Ya ain't got another present for almost an hour now."

Tamahome looked up, broken from his gaze at the area of grass that had become a dance floor. The alcohol had softened his nerves, but softened his defenses a bit, too. He was watching the dancing like a buffet. Tasuki's voice interrupted his thoughts and he blinked up at him. "You want to leave?" He tried to shout over the music. They were pretty close to the speakers.

"Nah, just wanna stop shakin' hands. I wanna go dance. Come on." Tasuki called back, tugging Tamahome's hand and pulling him towards the crowd of dancing drunks. There weren't very many women, so the impromptu dance floor was almost a mosh pit of guys with a girl here and there. Everyone was too drunk to care if they bumped or rubbed against another guy.

"Ya looked like ya wanted t'get out here and dance too, so you're gonna dance near me, okay?" Bottle of sake in one hand and Tamahome's hand in the other, he weaved his way to the center of the dancing and let himself enjoy the rhythm of the music flowing over him.

Tamahome eyed his dance partner with a sly grin. He wanted to dance with him all right, but vertically wasn't the way he was thinking. The burning urge was rising up in him. It nearly overflowed every time Tasuki was around. At the beginning of the night Tama had stayed away from it as much as possible, but now, with a few hours under his belt as well as a few drinks, Tama wasn't about to run.

He moved up beside him, taking a deep breath of the scent that had made him want to crack before. Tamahome wrapped his arm around Tasuki's waist. When he wasn't fighting the urge, it didn't seem so frightening, but it was certainly still demanding of him. His groin ached and his pulse refused to beat steady.

Under the booming music, Tamahome couldn't hear the soft crack of another one of his defenses weakening. The eyes that stared down at Tasuki's pretty head weren’t the same anymore. One now slit vertically, darker than it's normal slate gray and he licked his lips.

Tasuki was a little too tipsy to notice that Tamahome was standing a little closer than was necessary, his buzzing mind chalking it up to the crowded dancing area. He turned to face his best friend, a grin and a slight pink over his nose from the alcohol. Putting a hand to Tamahome's shoulder, he swiveled and bounced to the music, using Tamahome's shoulder as his prop so that he didn't fall. "Come on, dance with me, Tama!" He laughed and put his sake-bottled hand to Tamahome's hip, trying to move him to the music.

Tasuki's hand was on his shoulder and he was moving in a smooth way to the rhythm. He followed, what was a little dancing? Harmless. Tasuki's scent was strong and the pulsing beat drew Tasuki closer than he had ever really been before- minus, of course, the previous aborted attempt to mate. It made Tamahome bite his lip. He wanted him badly and...Tamahome's world stopped. His lip was bleeding.

Flinging a hand to his mouth, Tama felt for the fangs that he knew were there. Sharp teeth answered him. Tamahome panicked, patting down his head to make sure his ears weren't visible. Nothing yet, but oh god, they had never done this before. His eye caught the bracelet on his wrist, cracked beads... four of them. "I have to go!" Tama called out as he pushed through the bodies on the dance floor.

Tasuki slipped to the side, off balance as his prop ran for it unexpectedly. "Hey!" He called after Tamahome, following him out of the crowd. He wasn't so drunk that he couldn't tell that there was something wrong, but he was a little slow trying to force his way through the mass of bodies.

When he finally got free, he spied Tamahome and ran after him. "Hey! Come back! Tama!" Dropping his sake when he realized that Tama wasn't going to listen, he ran as fast as he could, worry taking over his tipsy state.

"No, no, no, no, Tasuki. You especially shouldn't follow me!" Tamahome turned around in his half-transformed state. "It's breaking and I need to be alone, just, go back or wrap things up or anything else but being here alone with me."

It seemed that as the beads cracked, the spell cast in the bracelet got weaker and the more easily they went. Tasuki and him were alone, the lighting was perfect, the setting wonderful, Tasuki's scent was driving him mad and Tasuki was running after him.

He wanted to stop, wanted to let him catch him and be pinned to the ground, but he couldn't. He couldn't let the demon inside of him do anything to the only person he cared about. Ping! The fifth one fissured. If he didn't have the bracelet after today, there was no way he could live in a normal way, he had to take it off. The magic wasn't strong enough to do anything anymore, and it was just wasting what it had left. But if he took it off, there would be no holding back.

His hair shifted and he felt his ears pop up. Dark gray, speckled with white and black. He covered them. "Please, Tasuki, you'll be sorry if you hang around."

Tasuki panted, leaning over and bracing his hands on his knees once he stopped. "No, you're-" He panted more, Tamahome was really fast when he wanted to be. "You're my best friend, I ain't leavin' ya when you're like this!"

He hadn't looked up yet, too winded to do so just yet. "I swore to ya that I'd never leave ya when ya needed me, damnit, now is when ya need me most. I'll help ya fight it back, I dunno how, but I will." He chanced looking up once he got enough breath back into his lungs only to stop breathing and stare in awe.

"Oh gods, you're so..." He bit off the rest of that sentence, not wanting to scare his already frightened friend. Dark colored ears peeking through Tamahome’s fingers and a scent that seemed a little familiar slammed into him and he could only stare. "Beautiful." He finished in a whisper, not realizing exactly what he'd said.

"Beautiful? No. I-" One more broke. Tamahome tore the bracelet off. There were only seven bone beads and he couldn't risk another. His tail fluffed out from his pants, both eyes turned dark slits and his claws came out. He was in control of how much more shifted, but this was as human as he could get without the magic of the monk's bracelet.

Tamahome looked up at Tasuki, shamed, but not caring anymore. Without the barrier, the urge devoured him. The low purring growl woke up again in his throat. On all fours, Tamahome crawled over to Tasuki. His tail twitched and a dark gleam in his newly strange eyes glittered in the moonlight.

The scent grew stronger, delving into Tasuki’s gut and petting him in places he really didn't think was such a good idea, but the sight of Tamahome crawling towards him knocked his common sense for a loop.

He dropped to his knees, staring back into the dark eyes that were holding him captive. One hand reached out to pet Tamahome's head, sliding along the furry ears wonderingly. The closer Tamahome came, though, the less innocent Tasuki’s intentions. Something about that scent was driving him insane.

He had to have more.

Tama gave another low growl in the back of his throat, pushing his head into the petting and turning his face so he could lick at the wrist that was touching him.

Tasuki’s petting hand curved around the back of Tamahome's head and pulled him closer, fitting his lips over Tamahome's in a hard kiss. His mind was yelling at him to stop taking advantage of his friend, but his body wasn't quite listening. It wasn't listening at all.

When Tasuki finally got the hint and pulled him in for a scorching kiss, his fangs pressed against their joined lips and met a similar pair on the other side. Tamahome bit down on the insistent lips, nibbling on Tasuki and urging him on. His claws clenched in the ground below him, making little furrows in the dirt.

Tasuki's lips parted and he deepened the kiss, prodded along by both the incredible scent and nibbling fangs. He groaned. Tamahome tasted as good as he smelled, better than that; fantastic. He smoothed his tongue along Tamahome's, his free hand grasping at his shoulder to pull him closer.

He raised up on his knees, pulling Tamahome to him by wrapping an arm around his hips. The feel of Tamahome pressed so close coupled with the amazing things that his mouth was doing and the seductive scent filling his nose pulled a growl from him and he tightened his grip possessively.

The corner of Tamahome's lips curled up, he instinctively knew that powerful grip and what it meant; Tasuki was his now. He wanted to say his name, but it seemed that the human words he knew fell away from him in that moment. All he could manage were mewls, whimpers and groans that pleaded with Tasuki for more.

His hips met his mate's and his pulse raced. Tasuki's body pressing against his thrilled him. Tasuki's scent was all around him now and he wanted it everywhere, to bathe in it, to spread it over his skin and hold it deep inside of him. Tamahome's tail wrapped around their hips, brushing the soft fur over the back of Tasuki's shirt. More was the only thing in Tamahome's mind.

Tasuki's hand slid down Tamahome's back, intending to find his ass but was stopped by the silken feel of fur at his fingertips. Rather than being sidetracked, he stroked the fur, dragging his nails through it gently before petting the fur back into place.

His fingers finally left Tamahome's tail alone and cupped his ass, grinding him against the arousal that strained at the front of his jeans. A gasp fell from his lips and he rested his forehead against Tamahome's neck. "Tell me now to stop or I swear your ass is mine." He growled out, his voice husky with desire.

Tamahome's frisky grin widened. He wound his arms around Tasuki's neck and leaned back, devilish smirk in his eyes and his tongue caught between his teeth playfully. His tail twitched and twined around Tasuki's waist, the scent inside the fur fluffing up to Tasuki's nose more readily. Tamahome shook his head. He couldn't speak even if he wanted to. The kitsune in him owned him completely and his desires were running loose. Sharp little nails clawed lightly at Tasuki's back and he licked Tasuki's lips in answer.

Tasuki groaned and lay Tamahome back in the grass, his lips catching that teasing little tongue and sucking it into his mouth as his fingers eagerly tugged and yanked at buttons that did not want to release Tamahome from the shirt he was wearing. A demanding growl ripped from his lips as he tore open the buttons, the scent driving away his usual laid back attitude and forcing him to answer the call of desire. His back arching into the careful scrape of claws, he growled Tamahome's name into the night.

Lips played along the newly exposed flesh, nipping and devouring every inch of perfect skin that had danced just out of his reach for so long. Tongue flickered over pert nipples as fingers delved into tight jeans and tore them open. The first touch of heated velvet to his fingertips dragged a gasp from him and he abandoned Tamahome's chest in favor of stripping Tamahome naked. He sat back, looking at Tamahome with a possessive gleam in his eyes as his hands worked open his own jeans.

A pleased smirk lit Tamahome's features. The fox was happy now that it was going to get what it needed in it's mating year. He tilted his head and let his mate take him in. His hands curled like paws up to his chest and his tail curved around himself in shy opposition to the sly and dark eyes that begged for more.

His tongue flicked over his lips, licking at the lingering taste of Tasuki. He sat back up and helped with the removal of Tasuki's pants, making a feast of the exposed skin of his mate's lower belly. Taking the zipper in his mouth, Tamahome pulled it down and nudged away the flaps with his nose, licking his lips one more time at the anticipation. He barked once in nervous excitement and tugged at the lose fabric barring him from his prize.

Tasuki's eyes rolled back in his head at the sight of Tamahome's mouth so close to his arousal, one hand petting back the fuzzy ears while his other tried to hurry and push his pants down.

The scent of Tamahome's arousal and the pheromones that were delving into his belly blew away whatever modesty he had, allowing him to ignore the usual embarrassment that should have come at baring himself to Tamahome's gaze. He licked his lips and pulled his shirt off over his head, tossing it aside and forgetting about it as soon as it left his hand. His pants were a bit more of a problem, so he kicked his shoes off and shimmied out of them as best he could, but they caught on one ankle. His mind was whirling around everything he wanted to do, caught up in the scent and sight of Tamahome too much to care if he wasn't exactly naked when he pulled Tamahome back to him. "How?" He panted out, busily smoothing his hands over preternaturally soft skin until his fingers found Tamahome's arousal. Fingers closed around it and stroked slowly, "How do ya want this?" He clarified, barely managing to ask rather than just taking what he wanted.

Tamahome growled and panted, yipping and nipping Tasuki's flesh as he eagerly crawled back on to his lover. His claws dug in to Tasuki's chest with growing need. His hips rocked on their own, wanting more than was being given. Why was he talking? Tamahome didn't get the question until it was clarified and it just made him whine. Talking was difficult, but if he wasn't going to get what he needed until he spoke, he needed to try.

A snarl cocked his lip up on one side, frustrated at trying to eke words out.

Tamahome dipped down, being separated from the taste of Tasuki's skin was painful. His tongue graced the peeked nipples, dragging the tips of his fangs just around their hardened edge. Another whine purred from him and his thighs tightened around Tasuki's hips. His fingers were shaking as he licked a trail to Tasuki's ear and nibbled. "Nnnnnow!" He growled out. It was barely his voice, laden with an animalistic timbre and drenched in passion.

Tasuki gave in at that growled demand. Fitting his lips over Tamahome's as he reached down and pressed his fingers against the tight entrance, only to find it slick and waiting. His breath hitched and he adjusted himself, praying that he wouldn't hurt Tamahome, and pushed inside slowly.

His eyes rolled back and he thrust in hard, a groan of defeat falling from his lips as he gave in to the demands of his body and his lover. He gripped Tamahome's hips, pulling him in to each thrust.

Tamahome gasped in turn, his lip quivered as his needs were filled. A soft whimper pulled from his smiling lips. His fingers clenched on Tasuki's shoulders and steadied himself as Tasuki thrust into him. A shiver ran up his spine and spread out through his whole body. Tasuki was inside of him. Something quiet wanted to revel in the moment, but it was drowned out by the grunting urge for more. Tasuki felt fantastic. Tamahome could feel every inch as he slid inside, his body was riding him and he couldn't think in more than short moans.

Tasuki panted, adjusting his knees so that he could push in further. Tamahome felt like a dream wrapped tightly around him, the blazing heat inside Tamahome’s body dragging out hitched growls as his hips dared to move faster.

Being inside Tamahome this way, the scent, the purring growls and kneading claws were consuming him, strangling him, binding him to his best friend in a way he had only ever dreamed of. He couldn’t think beyond the clenching tightness of strong thighs circling his hips and the molten heat he plunged into. His brain –what little was functioning –was caught up in how Tamahome looked riding him and arching into the thrusts, but whispering that it was only an illusion that would fade with the coming of dawn. That thought spurred him onward, increasing his pace until he was all but ramming into that glorious heat, etching every moment of it into his memory so that when it was over, he’d have something to cherish –even if Tamahome was mortified about it.

He yelped and howled in pleasure, curling his tail around and wringing it to his chest to keep from exploding in ecstasy. His body clenched around Tasuki, drawing him in deeper. His hips jerking faster in their back and forth movement. Tasuki was pounding against the spot inside him that made him see stars repeatedly. It was all too much, the pleasure thrilled through him, hugging his spine and lungs so tight he couldn't breath. He was close to his completion, but he couldn't form words to warn his mate.

Tamahome panted into the redoubled thrusts, purring at the strength and desperation behind them. Tasuki felt better than he could have ever imagined. He had dreamed in secret of this moment for so long, but Tamahome was lost. The desire taking on physical form and binding him to the thick heat that penetrated him deeply.

Tasuki's breathing hitched, one hand moving from Tamahome's hip to curl around and stroke Tamahome's arousal. His lips found their mate, parting them and spearing his tongue inside to taste his lover as his end raced up to meet him. His fingers dug into Tamahome's hip, leaving small bruises as the desperate urge to finish and pleasure his lover rose up.

His hips jerked once, warning of the end that was rapidly approaching, and his arm wound around Tamahome tightly, clutching him close, pulling him into each thrust, stroking the weeping erection in his palm faster. "T-Taa-" His voice broke and he fit his lips over Tamahome's neck, sucking hard to stave off his orgasm long enough for Tamahome to cum first.

Tama's world exploded. His mind whirled, his lips parted and his eyes squeezed shut. In a crying moan, Tamahome closed his eyes and rolled his head to the side. Orgasm flooded over him as Tasuki's teeth sunk in, claiming him as his own. Tama's ass clenched, his lip bled from his own fangs digging in deeply. His breath caught and his half-breed seed spilled out over Tasuki's fist and on to his belly.

Tasuki whined as passion flooded him; starbursts flashing behind his eyes as his teeth bore down into Tamahome's neck. Hips thrust upward and held, pushing Tamahome's ass down further onto him as ecstasy blinded him and he gave in to the clenching heat. Tasuki panted, licking Tamahome's neck in apology for biting down so hard.

As the scent of desire faded from Tamahome's skin and the rush of passion ebbed, Tasuki shivered and wrapped his arms around Tamahome. He silently apologized for taking what he should have never touched, but guiltily grateful for every moment of it.

He didn't dare move, afraid that Tamahome would wake from the desirous daze and push him away, shut him out or be ashamed of the most magical moments of Tasuki’s life.

Tamahome purred and nuzzled into Tasuki's neck, pawing at Tasuki's chest as a second wave of subtle orgasm rolled through him. His hips were slowing, but still moving in their rhythmic dance. "Mmmm, more." Tama cooed as he nipped at Tasuki's ear, his tail waving lazily in the air.

Tasuki sighed tiredly but smirked. "Dunno if I can go again." He smoothed his hand over Tamahome's back, dipping down until he found soft fur and stroking it with one hand while the other resumed a languorous sort of petting to a rather wet and sticky erection. "I can try, though."

Tama cuddled into Tasuki's neck. His ears twitched as stray strands of red hair tickled them and he smiled, mumbling something low and incoherent. His hips wiggled and a little moan peeled from his lips as he let his eyes slip closed.

Tasuki's hand slowly stroking him and petting his fur brought the hot fire to a boil in his blood again, but his body was worn from fighting with the animal inside him.

Tasuki closed his eyes, the wriggling and rocking of Tamahome's hips was keeping him from relaxing fully. He released Tamahome's erection and tail, then wrapped his arms around Tama's hips, stilling him as well as situating him more fully into his lap. Knees aching, he shifted and got to his feet with Tamahome still wrapped around him. "Hey," he whispered gently into one fuzzy triangle. "How about we go back to the room and I get ya cleaned up?"

How to remove his friend –lover from his arms long enough to get them both dressed and back to his car, he had no idea. There was no way in hell he could take the chance of leaving Tamahome while he ran the fifty or so feet to the car and grabbed the blanket. There was no telling if he would go and look for another to mate with. Tamahome hadn't given him many details beyond just turning into a sex-starved kitsune.

Tama's ears perked up and he lifted his head. He was nodding as rigorously as his sleepy state would let him. More. Going back to a room and cleaning up. That would mean more, and he liked that idea. Tamahome let his grip loosen and his legs unwind, but he was reluctant to leave his mate. With his wrists resting on Tasuki's shoulders, Tama leaned back to look into Tasuki's eyes with a pout.

Tasuki cocked his head to the side, not understanding the pout. His hand raised and brushed through Tamahome's hair, petting the adorable little ears. "Just long enough for us t'get at least our pants on, then you c'n sit in my lap the whole way home and into bed, okay?" He found himself saying; not entirely sure why he'd said it, only that it felt like the right thing to say.

A big smile lit Tamahome's fox-features and he licked at Tasuki's lips. The verbal communication was still difficult for the animal spirit, so it stuck to what it knew best. Slipping from around his mate and placing his feet on the ground again, Tama winced at the loss, but obediently scuttled for his pants. He picked them up and quickly pulled them up and over his hips. After his task was finished, he loped back to Tasuki's side.

Tasuki had barely gotten his pants back on when Tamahome moved back to his side, but he easily lifted Tamahome into his arms and started his trek to the car. He kept to the edges of the party, keeping to the shadows as much as possible so that no one saw Tamahome without the protection of the bracelet... much less the fact that they were both red from exertion and missing their shirts. He knew there was a chance that Tamahome might reject what they had done, so he wanted as few people to see them together that way as possible.

He set Tamahome on the seat of the car then ran around to get the blanket out of the trunk and back before sliding in beside him, slipping an arm over his shoulders to hold him close. He was going to need the blanket to get Tamahome back into the dorms without letting his secret out.

Tama let his mate and new partner carry him, resting easily on his shoulder as he placed him in the car and turned on the engine. The post-mating daze that hung over him blurred his thoughts and made him completely forget the important piece of jewelry he had torn away in a fit of frustration. His ears and tail happily flicked as he curled up to Tasuki's lap and nuzzled into the warm cradle of his neck.

Tasuki sighed, happy to have Tamahome so close but starting to worry about what they had done. Oh, he'd enjoyed every second of being clenched inside Tamahome's body, but now that he was released from the clawing hunger he was more than a little ashamed of himself for taking advantage of Tamahome the way he had.

With no more time to think about what he should have done over what he did, Tasuki parked and wrapped the blanket around Tamahome before climbing out of the car and carrying him back to their room.

He nodded and called back to friends who stopped him, shrugging aside their curiosity at why he was carrying Tamahome with a grin and a comment or two about birthday boys drinking too much. All the while, he prayed that Tamahome would stay interested in his neck and not fling back the blanket and reveal himself.

Tamahome cooed and pawed at Tasuki as they made their way back to the room. His over cuddly nature coupled with him sleepily curled in Tasuki's arms made the drunken excuse perfectly believable. He was vaguely aware of other people around them. He heard the security guard talking, heard the beep of Tasuki's swipe card ID and listened as the door clicked softly shut behind them. He licked at Tasuki's neck and gave him a little nip on the chin. "Ready? More?" He asked with large eyes.

Tasuki looked down into those big grey eyes and felt his heart melt. "Let me clean ya up first, then we'll see if you're awake enough for more." He replied, pressing a soft kiss to Tamahome's lips before setting him down on the lower bunk.

The blanket slipped from Tamahome's shoulders and Tasuki's breath caught as he finally got a look at the bite mark on Tamahome's neck. He winced and brushed his fingers over the darkening bruise, "I bit you really hard. Are ya sure ya want to take the chance that I'll bite you again?" He kneeled on the floor between Tamahome's knees, resting his head on his lap. "I didn't mean to bite ya that hard, ya just... ya felt so good, ya know?"

Tamahome grinned proudly, his strength and wits –what primitive level they were right now –coming back slowly. "You can bite me." He said with a coy shift of his eyes. The Tamahome with all his mental capacity knew there should be more explanation to that, he knew there was more to the bite, but as he was now, he didn't have enough brain power to focus on anything other that the once-more rising heat in his groin.

Tasuki's mouth was close. Tamahome ran his fingers through Tasuki's hair, tugging a little. The sly grin rose to his lips again. "More?" he asked again, unable to hold back the blooming need in his belly.

Tasuki shifted his head against the knot in the blanket, but when the firm rise pressed against his cheek was not just denim, he realized that Tamahome wasn't joking about his requests for more. He looked up in surprise, the same scent from the lake seeping into his nose once more. It wasn't the same intensity as before, but more than enough to dig a response out of him. "Yeah, more, Tama." He whispered, swallowing hard.

Last time he'd been dragged into it by desire that was so strong that there was no escape, now he had a rational mind and knew exactly what he was doing. Even though it might cause a little bit of a problem in the morning when Tamahome woke up, he couldn't deny the request.

He raised his head and kissed Tamahome's chest, the semi-dry splatters of semen on his belly brushing against his chin. The sight of it when he pulled back reminded him of exactly what they had been doing and where he had been buried when it happened. "Slow this time, is that okay? I wanna make love to ya slow."

Tamahome pouted out his lip and tilted his head to the side in a shrug. He didn't really care how he got it. All he knew was that his body was calling and he needed to answer. "More." he whispered into Tasuki's ear, nibbling the lobe and dipping his tongue behind the hollow. It was really the only word he could get past his lips. His tail twitched and wagged merrily behind him and he tugged Tasuki closer.

A shiver raced down his spine at the whispered demand and he closed his eyes in an attempt to calm himself. He'd said slow and, damnit, he meant it. "Lie down." He smirked, putting a hand to Tamahome's chest and pushing him back as he got to his feet and stripped out of his pants.

Tamahome obeyed. He wanted it badly enough that he could taste it, but even if that weren't the case, he would have gladly done anything Tasuki asked of him. A playful gleam lit his cat-slit eyes and he smirked back, keeping Tasuki's gaze as he lay down.

Tasuki crawled up on the bed, a blush on his face at what he was doing and with whom but he was asked and was more than willing to deliver. He licked the splattered cum from Tamahome's belly, a deep growl of approval rumbling in his chest as his fingers worked open the button of Tamahome's pants. "We made a mess, Tama. Tisk, tisk. We have to clean that up." He licked and nibbled Tamahome's lower belly, clearing away the evidence of their previous romp as he slid lower towards the erection that his fingers were playing with.

The soft whimpers were back, building to moans and growls as Tasuki's lips worked their way lower. "More!" Tama demanded; his mind stuck on that one word.

Tasuki's tongue worked wonders. Tama's skin responded to every pass of the slick kisses. His hips rocked forward into unseen hands and his lower lip quivered.

Tasuki chuckled against Tamahome's belly, then gave in and pulled Tama's jeans down around his hips. "Yes, more." He grinned then glanced down at Tamahome's twitching erection and licked the tip experimentally. He debated barely a second over the taste before going back for a second, longer lick which progressed to a kiss and ended in sucking the weeping tip into his mouth.

"Uh-Nnn" Tama gripped the bed sheets tightly and tensed at the first flicker of Tasuki’s tongue.

The velvety heat encased him and the desire fully blossomed inside him. His beast was back. The tail curled around Tasuki's head, gently brushing at his mate's neck, but Tamahome's hands curled ferociously in Tasuki's hair and pulled him down. "More, MORE!" he cried out between yelps.

Tasuki gripped the base of Tamahome's cock to keep from choking, his other hand busily teasing Tama's slicked entrance. The scent was stronger now, ripping away his desire to go slowly and replacing it with the need to take and ravish as he had before.

Two fingers slipped inside, pressing deep and searching for the bundle of nerves that had heightened Tamahome's arousal earlier. He growled around Tamahome's erection, pressing in a third finger to aid the search.

"Aah!" Tamahome screamed as the insistent fingers found what they were looking for. His head rolled back and his grip loosened a bit now that Tasuki had answered his pleas. A smile curled his lips and a purr rolled in his throat. He had made a good choice in his mate. The blood fever could last days if a mate wasn't found. The scent helped, but the burning would more than likely drive him mad if he had not found a willing partner. Tasuki was far more than fulfilling, lasting longer than other mates could have and Tama was going to keep him for as long as he could.

Tasuki grinned slightly as Tamahome's fingers loosened their grip but the scent grew stronger and tightened around him further with each second, his control slipping and then vanishing completely.

"Now." He growled –sounding similar to Tamahome –as he sat up and pulled Tamahome's pants the rest of the way off. He gripped Tamahome's hip and rolled him onto his belly. "Now you get more." Raising Tamahome's hips and then sinking into the welcoming heat.

"Mmnn –Yess.... Mmmm MORE!" Tama half-purred, half-screamed.

His claws caught in the sheets below him and he dug in to the mattress, stabilizing himself against the hard thrusts. His tail fluffed to the side and curled around his thigh, keeping out of the way. Tasuki's scent was powerful and compelling. Tamahome leaned his hips up into Tasuki, pushing back against his mate's hips to fit him more fully inside.

Those words and the sight of Tamahome pushing back, bracing himself against the pounding thrusts sent Tasuki's mind and body into over drive. His eyes narrowed and his grip tightened, jerking Tamahome back harder into his hips and a low steady growl rumbled in his chest. His own brand of fangs bared by clenched teeth.

Tamahome was seeing starbursts across his vision, the pounding thrusts blinding him to anything else but his partner. Tasuki's length dragged along his prostate in soul maddening rhythm. The mattress below him was tearing under his claws, white cotton padding fluffed up from the gashes. And still he cried out for more. He was coming. He didn't care; he wasn't going to stop until he was spent dry. Tamahome was howling again. The small room echoed with it.

Tasuki wrapped one arm around Tamahome's belly and drew him up to press against his chest then his hand drifted down and gripped Tamahome's cock, stroking in time with his thrusts. He growled, moving his free hand up to grip Tamahome's shoulder and force him down harder onto his arousal. He bit Tamahome's neck, directly over the earlier mark, claiming him, marking him as his own before raising his voice in a howl that twined around Tamahome's and seeped out into the hall.

As he drifted back to earth, he licked Tamahome's neck and tightened his grip, easing them both down to lie on the bed without breaking the connection they had made. He nuzzled Tamahome's neck and sighed, "Mine."

Tamahome's body was still spasming from the intense orgasm, ravaging his body of any response until he had caught his breath. The burning urge was sated for the moment and he smiled, panting in his recovering gasps. Tamahome nodded, unable to form words again.

Tasuki curled happily around Tamahome, his eyes sliding shut in exhaustion.

A harsh banging on the door jerked him out of his contented state and he sat bolt upright. "Campus security! We were informed of a disturbance! Open up."

Tasuki's eyes flew to Tamahome, taking in the tail and ears worriedly. "Uh, just a minute!" He called back nervously. He shook Tamahome's shoulder, whispering to him quietly. "Tama you gotta stay here, under the blankets. You can't let 'em see ya. Just stay here."

"Open the door now, we have a right to search the premises for damage." The guard called back, banging on the door again.

Tamahome peeked open one sleepy eye, snarling and snapping at the hand that disturbed him from his happy afterglow. He wasn't going anywhere, he curled up, fluffing his tail around his nose, sneezed once, then settled on the bed. He didn't care about noise, and what the shouts meant was somewhere beyond his recognition, but they seemed to peek his interest, he kept one wary eye on the shouting, ready to protect his home if need be.

A low growl hummed in the back of his throat, completely different than the pleased ones that had rumbled through him. This one sent a low warning to whatever it was at the door to stay away.

Tasuki crawled out of bed and pulled his pants back on, then took a deep breath and opened the door, praying that the guards didn't hear the low growl coming from the bed. "What's the problem?" He asked, filling the doorway with his body to keep them from seeing inside.

"We got a few reports of wild animal noises coming from this room. We need to investigate. Animals aren't allowed into the dorms." The short, skinny man said, trying to lean around to get a look inside.

"No, no animals. Just uh, me and my... partner getting a little... loud. If ya know what I mean." He blushed darkly, hating to have to explain himself.

Tamahome's fox-eyes narrowed, his ears pulled back against his skull and he shifted his weight into an offensive coil. His tail flipped under the sheet, slowly back and fourth as he assessed the situation.

"This isn't a co-ed dorm, son. Girls aren't allowed up here." The second guard piped up in an annoying little cocky swag as he pulled out a write-up slip pad. "You two are in some deep trouble."

Tasuki frowned. "Fuck you, I didn't say nothin' about havin' a girl in here. If I meant a girl, I'd have said a fuckin' girl. I said partner, fuckwad. Get outta my room." He slammed the door; irritated enough with the superior smirks they had worn to shrug off the lapse in conduct code.

The guards beat on the door a few more times, demanding to be let in, but Tasuki told them to fuck off and went back to the bed.

Tamahome sniffed at Tasuki as he came back. The guards didn't lay a hand on him, but he came back angry and that ticked Tama off. He tilted his head at Tasuki, "Ok?" he asked with a frown.

The banging at the door stopped and Tasuki’s tense shoulders relaxed, nodding at Tamahome’s query. “Yeah, I’m okay. Sleepy?” He asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed with a tired sigh. His hips and thighs were starting to ache from such vigorous exercise; he couldn’t imagine how Tamahome’s back and bottom must feel after the last few hours. Then again, he seriously doubted he’d be able to say no if Tamahome gave him that determined grin and asked for more again. He was going to be a dead man if it kept up, but at least he’d die happy. A yawn caused his jaw to pop and he rubbed his eyes, scooting into the bed and curling around Tamahome with a satisfied sigh.

Tamahome nodded. The hair on the back of his neck relaxing again as the noise stopped. He wrinkled his nose at the door and turned his attention back to Tasuki. He was curling up sleepily, so he figured he should do something similar. The burning was just a low hum, low enough to be ignored and pushed aside for sleep. He needed his energy, as did his mate. The blood fire would continue and not be so lenient again soon enough. Licking Tasuki's face and nuzzling in next to him, Tama curled his bushy tail around them both and fell into a light sleep.

Tasuki sighed and settled into sleep, tucking an arm around Tamahome's hips to keep him close. Sleep pulled him in quickly, a contented smile on his lips that completely ignored the guilty pinch at the back of his mind.

The last thing that crossed his mind before sleep claimed him was curiosity as to how long Tamahome would continue to ask for more and when he might wake up to a naked, mortified friend.

It was a good hour before Tamahome's sharp eyes opened, shining in the dark and looking again for his mate. He stirred a little, wiggling uncomfortably under the fire in his blood. He poked the sleeping man next to him, nudging him with his nose and whining soft and high in his ear.

Tasuki’s eyes drifted open slowly only to fall closed again. He muttered something unintelligible and sleepily pulled the warmth that hovered over him to his chest with a happy sigh. His half-asleep brain realized that he wasn’t hugging a blanket and his eyes snapped open in surprise. It took a second or two for his sleepy mind to realize that the body he was holding was Tamahome, and remember what had happened before they fell asleep.

He pulled back a little bit, looking into Tamahome’s eyes and searching for the spark of recognition or even something that would tell him if Tamahome had returned to himself. All he found were dark, cat-like eyes that burned into him. “Tama?” He asked, trying to get verbal confirmation as to which part he was talking to: the fox or the man.

Tamahome's eyes flashed, his fanged grin catching the low light in the room. "More?" he asked with wide eyes, his tail bushed and wagging. He licked Tasuki's lips, nibbling on the lower one playfully.

Tasuki's curious look broke and became a wry grin. "Yeah, okay." He replied, stretching a bit to wake up before pulling Tamahome to rest against his chest. "You're not hurtin' or nothin', right?" A hand slid down Tamahome's back, feathering over his backside, silently indicating where the pain might be.

Tama just cocked his head to the side at the question and wiggled happily when his mate began to touch him where he wanted. His cat-eyes slid shut and Tamahome covered Tasuki's mouth in a series of butterfly kisses, a small whimpering sounding from the back of his throat.

Tasuki grinned and returned the teasing kisses all the while his fingers were searching and pressing inside the tight heat that he recalled vividly. How Tamahome was still slick and ready confused him, but Tasuki wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Though he was still tired, the molten heat clenching around his fingers awoke his desire and he leaned up to capture Tamahome's lips in an open-mouthed kiss.

The teasing stopped as soon as his mate gave in. Tamahome wrapped his arms around Tasuki's neck and surrendered to the kiss. His tail flipped happily behind him, the inquisitive fingers making his heart race and his own heat stir more rapidly. Tamahome knew he was wet and it fueled his fire. He could feel his partner's slick seed coating him. Excited with no where else to turn, Tama bit Tasuki's ear whining louder. "Now." he growled at his mate.

Tasuki growled back, the sharp nip at his ear driving heat into his belly and he shifted his pants down just enough so that he could give what was demanded of him. He pulled Tamahome closer, arranging Tamahome's thighs to rest on either side of his hips. Tasuki blindly found and pressed into the tight heat. A growl rumbled in his chest and he gripped Tamahome's hips, rocking in slow measured thrusts.

Tasuki's passion rose higher, the sight of Tamahome riding him caused little chills to roll over his skin. He gazed up at Tamahome with eyes darkened passionately and something a little more lurking in the golden depths, "Tamahome." He growled softly, hips moving unhurriedly.

Tama purred in response, a half-dazed grin already capturing his lips. His body clenched and rocked over Tasuki's erection. He was amazing. The steady heat pounded inside him, filling him up and running shivers down his spine. Tamahome whimpered as he clutched tightly to Tasuki's shoulders. He licked and nibbled but dared not bite his mate; Tasuki had already claimed dominance.

His hips rocked in desperately increasing strokes, not getting enough of what he wanted. "Mmmm more." Tama whined in Tasuki's ear, clawing at his shoulders.

Tasuki gripped Tamahome's hips tighter, coaching them into a more steady rhythm. He cocked his head to the side, a soft purring noise showing his appreciation of the attention to his neck.

Pinpricks of blood welled on his shoulders under the razor sharp claws, but he ignored the sting and pulled Tamahome to lay against his chest, then rolled them over so that he was lying on top of Tamahome. "I'll give ya more, but ya gotta let me sleep, too." He grinned, a wince of pleasure tightening his smirk as his hips began to move a little faster. He pressed deep, a passionate groan slipping from his lips to sound directly in Tamahome's ear.

Tamahome didn't want to hear it. Sleep? No. Sleeping meant time spent not inside him and he wouldn't have it. "Mmmm more." he purred, pulling Tasuki tighter, demanding more from him and refusing his request to let him off easy.

Tasuki grit his teeth and increased his pace, hooking Tamahome's legs over his arms as he drove in harder. After two previous rounds with hardly a gap between them, Tasuki was amazed that he could still feel the burning ache that demanded he give in to the clawing hunger. His end was creeping up on him faster now, but it was no less intense than the times before. Tamahome was tight and hot around him, sucking him in, and driving him crazy with the yelping cries and desperate claws kneading his shoulders and back. Desire blazed up his spine and he whimpered in warning before crying out Tamahome's name as he spent himself.

He panted, looking down at Tamahome's face, trying to will him to see what stayed hidden and unspoken in his heart but knowing that it would remain hidden. He'd put up too many barriers around his feelings for a simple look to give him away.

The night progressed, often broken with mewls for more and Tasuki gave in. Nearing dawn, Tamahome finally seemed to calm down and allowed them both to sleep.
