😌

Kato watched from across the room as his leader Rhage once again stood at the front of the Heal Tank. For the past few rotations this had become the daily routine once all of the meetings had been finished for the day.

Without fail, Rhage would come to watch Artemis. She was not yet conscious but he still came. His devotion was something he hadn't seen his leader express in anything else but the clan. Such a sight was still surprising, despite having lived with the human for a month and a half now. In that time he had discovered his own happiness, just as Rhage seemed to.

"Leader, I am retiring for the night cycle. You know how to contact me if an issue arises." Kato put his equipment away, his body feeling ready to return to his dwelling.

This rotation had been long and tiresome. Tomorrow there would be more work.

Rhage grunted, "Of course, Kato. You deserve the rest. May Paya bless you and your life-mate."

Kato nodded and left the medical center, the door closing with a whoosh behind him. Out in the hall, he quickened his pace. Many had already retired for the night cycle so the hall was fairly empty. All who he did see were guards.

He greeted one of them, Fang, as he passed by. The tall fully armored Yautja nodded respectfully. There was a familiarity he had with Fang, a former hunt brother of his, they understood each other much like he and his own mate. Together, they had fought together and lost brothers together. Death was frequent in their lives and eventually one grew numb to the feeling, until it was a friend.

Keeping a steady pace, Kato finally reached his dwelling. His dwelling wouldn't be as large as Rhage's, but it was quaint and enough for he and his life-mate to live comfortably. His large hand waved over the wall scanner and swiftly entered.

Inside, the space was a standard sized unit for those of his status. It was the size of a two-bedroom Earth apartment unit. Walking inside opened up to the living space where a large emerald green couch sat facing a large rectangular window on the left, a hallway leading to the sleeping quarters and cleansing room at the back of the wide rectangular shaped room to finally on the immediate right was the kitchen where a food processor was and a large meat locker.

Lounging on the couch was his mate, their long legs stretched out while they typed away on their computer unit.

Kato chirruped at his mate to get their attention as he prepared a stew with the food processor. He hadn't eaten in hours and his stomach rumbled. The happy clicking from his mate behind him had him prepare two steaming bowls. Both bowls in hand, he made his way to the couch and handed a bowl to his mate.

Together they ate in comfortable silence until his mate spoke, "How has the human's progress come along? I hope it is all positive?"

Kato set his now empty bowl on the armrest and gazed into the icy blue eyes of Tare, his life-mate. One of his claws trailed down Tare's thick bicep feeling the warm skin beneath his own.

"Sei'i. She is healing remarkably well. Rhage still keeps his nightly vigil by the Heal Tank watching her. It still is surprising to see him so...expressive. He has always been stoic and quiet." Kato pointed out, his fingers interlocking with Tare's.

He liked how Tare's dark speckled hide looked against his own grey and blue. The contrast was so different, wildly opposite, but he had always admired his mate's coloring. When they rutted, he liked to bite at his skin. Tare also had dreadlocs that fell to his chest with many white and silver bands decorating the locs.

"That is what weakness for another does to you, as you already know." Purred Tare, setting aside his own bowl and leaning into Kato's side.

Grunting in agreement, he nuzzled Tare's crest as the male snuggled into his side. Tare's smaller stature helped when they wanted to hold one another. His body warmth was comforting after a long day. Kato's soft purring also helped the two to relax.

Kato lied back on the couch and readjusted Tare to lie atop him, the male more than happy to. He wrapped his arms around the slimmer male atop him and trailed his claws down his back. His mate nipped at his chest gently, eliciting soft moans from Kato's throat.

"You tease me, my weakness." His toes curled as Tare continued his ministrations. He could feel himself harden within his cod-piece and unbuckled the latches where it fell to the floor unceremoniously.

Tare took his chance and moved to straddle Kato's wide hips. His loincloth was pulled away and his cock left bare to greet his mate.

"And you tempt me." A clawed hand wrapped around his cock and gave it a squeeze.

He bucked his hip upwards in an attempt to feel some friction. The blood in his veins boiled for more. Tare knew it, judging by the wicked gleam in his icy blue eyes and the rapid clicking in his throat. Looking up at his mate with an equally heated gaze, he growled with need when there was another teasing stroke.

Soft growling filled the otherwise quiet dwelling,

Tare's gentle strokes of his already swollen cock pushed him to whine in need. Trails of fluorescent green trailed down his mate's hips as he dug his claws into the dark scaled flesh.

"Kato..." He purred, his mandibles flaring. "Where is your control, mate?"

"If you did not play such dastardly games then I would have some."

Rumbling clicks of laughter drew his ire.

Momentarily he was distracted enough to miss Tare removing his loincloth to have his own cock greet Kato. His hips grinded his cock against Kato's, letting every inch of hardened flesh drag against the entire length.

Kato growled and wrapped his legs around Tare's waist to grind himself against his abs. Little quills smattering Tare's lower belly helped to give him some of the stimulation he required. It unfortunately...was not enough.

He needed more.

"Pauk, Tare." Kato groaned through panted breaths. "I will skin you if you do not..." his words trailed into nothing when he got what he wanted.

Both Yautja moaned when Tare fed all eleven inches of his meat into Kato's anus.

Kato looked up into the shining eyes of his mate taking in every slight difference in their features and admiring Tare's dreads that fell to his chest, the locs falling this way and that. Gods, he was a lucky male to have such an attractive mate. One who had dozens of impressive trophies, the amount rivaling his own collection.

The medic-in-training was impressively built, too, his body leaner than his own but still muscled and not an ounce of fat to be found, except for his ass. Tare's ass was meaty, albeit muscular, but the flesh was softer there. He couldn't help but grip the globes of slightly softer hide as Tare withdrew his cock before plunging back in.

Many rotations had passed since they had rutted, both of them deprived of one another's touch. Being on Saqqar had kept Kato busy and alert, ready for war if conflict arose.

It was one of many things Tare had told him he admired about him. His utter commitment to his job on the council and recently being a protector for Artemis when necessary. When focused on the current task at hand the world fell away in favor of what lied in front of him. Ever since he was a pup, he had been steadfast in his commitments.

Recently, he had formed a new one with Tare.

And by the gods he savored every moment with his life-mate. The only one who ever made him complete, whole, to indulge in emotions that were typically shunned in Yautja society. Displaying weakness for another was frowned upon, but when it came to Tare, he didn't give a pauk.

"Pauk them all, my weakness. My love." He had told Tare when revealing his long-held feelings for the male.

The sensation of Tare picking up the pace of his thrusts brought him back to the present. He would never tire of the fullness that he felt when his mate fed him his cock, their pelvises meeting in this carnal dance. To not have to fight to feel this was cathartic. Not even the most dangerous of hunts made his blood boil or his body sing like rutting with Tare.

He whined when Tare thrust a little deeper than before, the tip of his cock rubbing against a sensitive portion of flesh. His mandibles twitched and spread wide as he released a series of clicks and growls that was utter jibberish.

Tare leaned forward to press his front against Kato's, his long tongue lapping at his mate's bared neck while he took advantage of this newfound point of pleasure, making sure to thrust deep enough to hit it. Kato scratched and clawed at his back wildly, the male thrusting his own hips up to feed more of Tare's cock into his body. Both of them quickly devolved into animals and rutted each other viciously — no mercy, either. Their mingling growls and snarls, although loud, couldn't overpower the sound of wet flesh smacking erotically together.

Faster and rougher Tare thrusted. He pounded his cock as deep as he could go, moving so quickly that Kato was slid back and forth beneath him.

A low rumbling growl escaped Kato's throat as he felt his climax drawing near, his cock swelling as his body prepared to cum. He tossed his head side to side and sunk his claws into Tare's dark hide as the explosion of ecstasy continued to drive him closer. That peak was closer and closer. Looming larger as he whined through the sensations.

What sent him over the edge was the sight of his mate Tare lifting himself up, the palms of his hands flat on Kato's pectorals, and throwing his head back. He grunted at the sight of his mate's dark speckled hide shining in the low light of the moonlight casting through the shutters of the window and the way his long locs flew around his head. His mate was savagely beautiful. A hunter in his prime.

The sight was the last straw.

Kato growled and let loose a mighty roar as his body burst with sensation. His cock unleashed a torrent of cum, much of it spilling forth onto his pelvis and some splattering on Tare's lower belly.

Shortly after, Tare ceased his thrusting and pumped Kato full of his own cum. He tried to thrust through his ejaculation but Kato's inner muscles clenched his cock with enough grip to hold him still. The smaller male threw his head back even further, his neck fully bare to the open air, mandibles wide.

When both were finally empty, Tare fell forward to lie on top of Kato and purr in contentment. He gently withdrew his cock from Kato's body after a few moments.

Kato lied there, catching his breath as his arms once again wound around Tare. His yellow eyes watched as the smaller male cleaned his claws of Kato's release, the sight almost enough to make want another round. It was too bad he was utterly exhausted.

After the long day and the rutting with his mate, he was about done for. Simply lying here with his weakness in his arms was nearly enough to send him off to sleep.

"You can no longer skin me, my love." Tare chittered softly as he laughed, the rapid clicks drawing his attention.

He scoffed, "I will get my chance one day, Tare. You best be on good behavior. One day I will get my chance to punish you for your teasing."

Tare moved to rest upon his arms on Kato's chest so their eyes could meet, his icy blue orbs full of love and mirth. A claw trailed gently over the blue smattering of different sized spots upon the grey flesh of his mate. Kato shivered at the touch. He could feel his body preparing for round two.

"I doubt it. You are only dominant when it comes to females, or, when you weren't with me."

He hated to admit it, but Tare was right. He much preferred his mate taking control, as frustrating as it could be to get that release he craved.

"Sei'i. With females you constantly have to fight to rut. I find it...not pleasing. They are a wild sex. It is preferable to not take charge for once." His tusks clicked together as he watched Tare stare back at him, sprawled out on his wide chest and hips.

Tare nodded, his locs falling to rest against Kato's heated flesh. "I agree. They are meddlesome." His eyes narrowed slightly, "You do have to admit you enjoy my teasing." He purred, dragging his tongue across Kato's chest and cleaning a few stray drops of cum.

With a grunt he did just that; agreed.

"I do. No other can do what you do, mate. I love you all the more for it."

Playfully, Tare snarled and shook his locs about, knowing full well what it did to Kato upon seeing it. His mandibles stretched into a smirk as Kato reacted just on que.

Purring softly and reaching to caress the black tendrils, Kato petted his mate's mane. There were no words needed between the two as Kato gently tugged a few locs in his quest to make Tare a purring mess upon his chest. The smaller male relinquished control just this once.

"I love you, too, Kato." His mate whispered.

Kato felt their sticky releases grow cold on his skin but he didn't care. He wanted to return the favor to the light of his life. Having his mane petted and played with was one of Tare's weaknesses, one he liked the exploit as much as possible. Despite being much larger in size, he still tried to keep that balance in their relationship of Tare taking charge in sexual manners. It felt right and natural somehow.

It also gave him the opportunity to let his mate — his locs being his favorite feature, apart from his dark hide of course.

Tare purred like a great feline and turned his head to rest his concave cheek against the rigid muscles of Kato's chest, nuzzling him affectionately. His toes curled and he balled his clawed hands as he fully relaxed. Kato's gentle purring eventually lulled him to slumber, letting the gentle rumble and heat of his mate take him under. The smaller male slumbered peacefully as Kato ceased his petting.

He had noticed the gentle and even breathing of his life-mate slumbering atop him, both of his legs resting on the sides of his body. Tare had stretched out so his crest rested against Kato's lower mandibles.

Kato would never tire of his weakness. That was for sure. Even as he once again held his mate in his arms, he felt at peace. The male resting so peacefully in his hold was a bountiful gift from the gods.

Perhaps his devotion to the clan and making himself stronger throughout the centuries had finally paid off.

It sure felt like it.

Once again that sticky coldness between the two bothered him, but he didn't want to ruin this. Tare slumbered so soundly. By the gods, he loved the sight.

With a sigh, he decided a cleansing would be due upon sunrise. For now he would just lie here and get some rest as well. Slumbering with Tare, snuggled against his warm body, bested everything else in life.

Kato stretched his legs out and covertly maneuvered his body before getting comfortable and letting his body finally be taken by sleep.
