Heat 13
John yawned as he climbed out of his car, it was an early morning and it was promising to be a long day for the human. He hated what he had to do today and right now he hated Eric for putting him in this position. Shaking his head he got rid of that thought. The wolf had signed up to the lapine navy a few weeks back. He'd explained to the human his reasons, mostly it was guilt. He had felt the need to rejoin the military so he could fight the dragos because of the massacre the fifth fleet had let happen.
Still it left him without a gunner as the wolf had gone off and, the last John had heard, was leading a squadron of mixed species pilots against the dragos. The lapine navy was seriously undermanned and anyone with combat pilot training was welcomed with open and desperate arms. A lot of felines and equines had signed up out of desire to help the war effort. The Feline and Equine Union's military technology was no match for the humans, canines, lapines and more worryingly the dragos. They had observed the reptiles from afar and many believed that should the dragos win their worlds would be next.
With the new racing season opening next week it left the human missing a vital part of his team. Worse still anyone with decent skills and experience had been snapped up by sponsors for other teams months ago. What he had to look forward to was a whole day of sifting through the people already deemed by other teams to be not good enough to race.
As he headed into his small office he reflected that any gunner he got could be trained up. Winning the championship this year was unlikely still a mid table performance this year and then hopefully Eric would be back for the next season and the two of them would blow through their opposition again. As he browsed through the profiles on his desk he heard a knock on his door. It was a good hour before his first applicant was due. He shouted for the knocker to enter assuming it was one of the pit crew to discuss something relating to the ship or the first race.
His jaw hit the desk as the door opened and in stepped a dragos. John recognised him instantly as Twenty, he was a racing pilot one of the top pilots out there. However, the human had never interacted with him before, his history with the dragos made the idea of talking to one unpalatable. Still there he stood, dark green scales glistening, head spikes fully erect with black spots dotted randomly. His reptile eyes seemed to be judging the human his huge mouth closed tightly.
Flustered the human stood up. "Yes, can I help you, Twenty right?"
"Yes, Twenty is me and it is Twenty who can help you." The dragos said stepping inside, his voice was heavily accented event though the translator. John was aware that Twenty's translator had been made only to translate dragos languages, and was being enhanced beyond its capacity to allow him to understand and speak with other species. He had also heard that the dragos installed their translators directly into their brains and that they cannot ever be replaced. "You need gunner, I am good gunner."
John grabbed the pile of applications in front of him. "You don't seem to be on my list."
For a moment John saw a flicker of doubt and worry cross the retiles face. Then he replied. "I gave application, no hear back. Hear of interviews and assume Twenty should come, that mistake was made."
Sitting down behind his desk the human nodded his understanding, wondering if it really was an administrative cock up. "Why do you want to join us, you were pilot on your own team?"
The dragos shrugged his shoulders. "Sponsor let Twenty go, say he bad for business. Twenty is good pilot, good gunner, good reflexes, good eyes. You need him, show me better in list of applicants."
"Well, you certainly have the experience, but I mean don't you want to be lead of your own team?" John argued, he couldn't see himself working with a dragos, he had lost so many friends in the first and now second dragos wars.
"All teams entered in races, this Twenty's only chance to race." The dragos implored him and for the first time John could see desperation in the reptile's face.
"Ok well I do not need to hear any more, I will consider you and let you know tomorrow." The human said waving a hand at the door.
"You do not wish to ask Twenty questions?" The reptile asked and then looked confused as the human burst into unexpected laughter.
"Sorry, twenty questions is a human game." John explained embarrassed at his lack of tact and control. "What would I gain from questions that racing against you all last season hasn't already answered?"
The reptile grinned a sharp toothy grin and nodded his understanding, the door opened to leave a lapine security officer was standing in the hall. The rabbit gave the dragos a harsh look. "I told you, your security pass is no longer valid now get out before I call the police and have you arrested."
"Twenty is going." The dragos replied more sheepishly than John had ever seen any dragos ever say anything. The reptile's shoulders slumped and his head bowed low as he walked. The human stared at the door replaying the incident in his mind as he tried to understand what had just happened. Eventually he returned to the list of applicants and forgot the incident.
It was a long day, thirty interviews and the candidates he had seen were mostly too young and inexperienced or too old and slow of reflexes to suit the position. When he finally got home he found Toby waiting for him. The brown bunny smiled warmly and welcomed him home with a hug and a kiss. Since the large windfall John had gotten last year Toby had been able to quit his job and he spent most of his time seeing to the human's needs and wants. This allowed the two of them to spend almost all their time together during the off racing season. The two of them had become inseparable and had married in a small private ceremony on a tropical island with only Eric in attendance as a guest.
"Did you find anyone suitable?" Toby asked as he prepared something to eat for them both. He had kept in contact with Benny and often got new recipes from the bear to try out. This was a new one a polar take on a lapine salad.
John slumped over the kitchen table. "Thirty applicants all useless, got one or two young guys I might be able to train up I guess. Oh you won't believe who actually barged in this morning, that dragos Twenty. Apparently his sponsor dropped him and now he has no team."
The rabbit tilted his head and furrowed his brow with honest curiosity. "He applied for the position?"
"Apparently, though he wasn't on the list for interview." The human responded getting up and snuggling up behind the rabbit as he chopped vegetables, stealing a crunchy stick of some root.
"Why not? I mean, he's a fantastic pilot, surely you couldn't hope for a better." The rabbit replied as he nuzzled back against the human, smacking his hand as he reached for more of the vegetables.
"Cause he's a dragos, I mean who would want to fly with one of those?" John asked kissing the rabbit's neck.
Toby froze as he heard those words, he pulled away from the human and turned around. "I know that you find it hard to be around dragos, you lost a lot of friends to them." Just a month ago they had heard that Larry had survived the dragos attack on John's frigate years earlier, only to be killed in a prison camp. "However, Twenty is a former slave, the only dragos ever to ever request asylum. Don't assume an entire species is evil because of the way their leaders act."
John had never seen that look on his mate's face before. "How do you know so much about him?"
The rabbit shrugged, "I read an article on him last year and he seemed like an ok guy. It's kinda sad that his sponsor dumped him just because of the war. I know you don't feel comfortable around him, but please try to at least be nice if you see him again."
The human smiled and reached out taking the rabbit's paws. "I love you so much you know, you have such a kind heart." Before Toby could reply the human pressed his lips tightly against the rabbit kissing him deeply. The rabbit's paws slipped around the human and they held each other tightly as they shared a deep passionate kiss. John pressed his tongue deep into the rabbit's muzzle his hands sliding down the Toby's back and onto his rear.
Toby broke the kiss with a giggle, "What about food?"
"I'm hungry for something else right now" John replied grabbing the rabbit's paw and pulling him out of the kitchen and leading him by the paw to the sofa in their livingroom. As soon as they got there he turned and kissed the rabbit desperately, his hands working to strip the rabbit of his clothes, first his apron then his pants, lastly his shirt breaking their kiss for a moment.
The rabbit's paws worked on the human's clothes in kind as their tongues danced and fought for supremacy inside their mouths. Soon the two were standing naked, their lithe bodies grinding against one another, fur caressing skin, skin stroking fur. Erect cocks rubbing against thighs, drops of pre being spread onto each other. Eventually John broke the kiss and spun the rabbit around, bending him over the back of the sofa.
He paused and admired the beautiful sight of his mate's buttocks, he ran his fingers through the soft fur of the rabbit's teardrop tail. Then stroked down both buttocks pulling them apart slightly, gaining a lustful moan from the rabbit. The human licked his lips and bend down leaning close and placing his face between those two soft furry cheeks. The fur of his Toby's ass tickled his cheeks and chin as his lips kissed the sensitive skin of his mate's pucker.
"I thought you weren't hungry anymore." The rabbit said with a giggle, the sofa was digging into his stomach a little uncomfortably, however, the feeling of his mate gently licking his pucker more than made up for any discomfort.
Pulling his tongue off the rabbit's ass he human replied. "Not for vegetables, I want to eat something warm, meaty and tangy, like your perfect ass." Then as he finished his reply he dove back into the ass, this time thrusting his tongue right into the pucker making Toby moan deeply in pleasure.
The human licked as deeply as he could, swirling his tongue around and then pulling the tongue back taking the divine flavour into his mouth. He thrust his tongue back into the rabbit's rear hungrily eating out Toby's ass, using his tongue to stretch and prepare him. As he worked he stroked his cock, which was sending him growing signals that it had wants and needs and all of them could be satisfied within the rabbit's sweet and now very moist rear.
With his job of preparing the rabbit completed, and his hunger for something more than just licking taking over, the human stood up. He pressed his needy cocktip to the rabbit's prepared rear. However, he knew that, even though he had licked the rabbit's rear into relaxing and that Toby was very used to being fucked, he would have to go gently as he had no lube to hand but his own spit. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt his love.
So he started gently, thrusting slowly, his cock prising the bunny's tail open slowly teasing him open with gentle thrusts and a gentle grinding. Toby moaned as he felt the human's cock gently but firmly prising his ring open. He loved how his human could be so tender and gentle, yet passionate and impulsive at the same time. He gasped as the human worked his cock deeper into his ass. He could feel himself stretching around the warm invading manhood. He pushed back a little to show the human that he was ready for more.
The human chuckled as he felt the rabbit pushing back, his cock was almost half into his mate's tight rear. "I love how you are always have to push back... mmm lets me know you are desperate for my cock."
Toby blushed a little and replied. "I love how you can't get enOOOOOHHH!" As he spoke the human suddenly slammed his hips home driving his cock in to the hilt. The rabbit could feel his husband's entire length as it throbbed inside him, so hot and hard. He arched his back as the human leant over him and began to kiss his neck and shoulders, the human's hands stroking over his chest and stomach.
"God you are so hot." The human moaned as he ground his hips against the rabbit feeling the rabbit's tight passage gripping him like only an ass can.
"Mmm... you are fucking sexy and sOOO!" As he replied again the human suddenly withdrew and then slammed his hips home as hard as he could. "Are you going to do that every tIIIIII!" The human thrust hard again and chuckled as the rabbit tried to talk.
"I like hearing your sexy squeals, they get the blood pumping to fun places." The human replied biting down on the rabbit's neck tenderly. His hips starting to thrust regularly but slowly, his bionic leg and hip giving his thrusts a little extra power, as he nuzzled into Toby's neck. The scent of his mate's aroused musk filling his senses as his hands slipped to the rabbit's nipples and tweaked them lightly.
"Oh.... Mmm you are so Ahhh... good at....mmmaking me...squeal" The rabbit replied between thrusts, he bucked back into each thrust, loving the feeling of the thick throbbing human cock as it reamed him. He panted his heart fluttering and he felt his lover caressing him and playing with his sensitive nubs. He couldn't believe he had managed to find such a passionate and yet tender offworlder to marry.
"That's because you squeal so good." The human responded and then began to thrust faster and faster, standing up again so he could look down and watch as his thick cock was swallowed by the hungry rabbit ass again and again. He slipped one paw under the rabbit, finding a hot drooling shaft fully erect under his mate he grabbed it and started to jerk the hot rabbit pole. He closed his eyes and basked in the sensations surrounding his cock, the warmth, the squeezing and massaging. He marvelled at how Toby's ass seemed to almost suck his cock back in with each thrust.
He thrust his hips harder and faster, reaming the rabbit's tight rear deeper and harder, his human nuts smacking off the rabbit's furry ones. A sensation that he could never describe to anyone, a wonderful sweet tickle that accented the smooth wonderful sensations of his mate's rear just perfectly. He closed his eyes losing himself to the pleasure that was dancing up his cock and filling his body. He couldn't talk, he could barely breath all he could do was pound into the rabbit. He was desperate to get deeper to become one with the rabbit he loved, who had brought him such joy and pleasure so many times.
"Oh...Toby...you feel...so good... I'm close." He gasped between breaths as he continued to plunge into the perfect rabbit ass. He could feel his balls tingling, his cock was throbbing so hard it was almost painful, he was so close to the edge and yet he was desperate to make the moment last.
He opened his eyes drinking in the scene before and around him. His home, his love beneath him, the sounds of bliss they were both making. The musky and funky scent of their passionate activities. The feel of his fur caressing against his skin and even the sound of his bionic leg as he pushed the machinery to its limits, mating the rabbit with breathtaking speed and strength.
However, as he worked to prolong the moment he felt the rabbit's cock pulse in his hand, his fingers were soaked with cum as his cock was massaged and squeezed in the most exquisite of ways. His cries joined the rabbit's as they both reached their orgasm, John could feel his cock throbbing as he flooded the rabbit with as much seed as he could.
The human slumped over the rabbit as they both gasped and panted for breath. Their bodies pressed together in their tender union. The human kissed Toby's neck and shoulders and moaned. "That... was awesome. You should...cook it more often." He said with a chuckle.
In a small nightclub just a few hundred meters from the spaceport, desperate and lonely people danced. Grinding up against each other, most looking for love and some looking to prey on those looking for love. It was called Teardrop and it was well named. It was also a good club for a rabbit to meet a lonely offworlder just waiting for their transport, looking for a few hours of fun before shipping out.
It was here that Twenty had sat night after night, letting horny rabbit's buy him drinks and snacks until he went home with them to spend the night. Still as the dragos war continued even among the notoriously xenophillic rabbits finding someone to go home with was getting more and more difficult.
The dragos had sat alone most of the night nursing a glass of water. It was only an hour until closing and just as he was about to leave a rabbit sat down opposite him. Twenty looked up with a friendly smile only for it to fade as he looked into a devious grin and malicious eyes. He recognised the power hungry look in the two dark green eyes that were looking him over.
"I've been watching you, coming in here night after night and trying to leave with a different guy. Always letting them buy drinks and always and I mean always asking for snacks." The rabbit said with a sneer on his face. "Interestingly I looked up a few things on you Twenty, your assets were frozen when the war started, cause you are a 'security risk'."
"So you have eyes and read news." The dragos replied calmly, he could feel anger rising inside him as the rabbit lorded his situation over him. He felt especially annoyed that he had been observed going home with so many different rabbits. He didn't like to admit to himself how dire his situation actually was since the war had started, he had lost his job, all his money was frozen and his landlord had kicked him out onto the streets.
"Oh yes I have eyes and ears too. I hear that you lost your apartment. So I figure you are pretty much using the only thing you have left to get by." The rabbit licked his lips eyeing up the dragos even more. "You know what that makes you. Now it looks like I'm your only choice tonight, me or the cold cold streets." The rabbit leaned across the table grinning and chuckling. "I'll buy you dinner and breakfast, let you stay a night or two. However, you will have to do everything I say understand? Now what do you say, me or the streets?"
Twenty looked down at his water contemplating the offer and then as his anger continued to rise he looked back up the remains of his pride showing as he snarled. "Twenty was hatched a slave, he was beaten, raped and forced to do many things he does not want to remember. He escaped life as a slave, steal a short range shuttle and fly until the hyperdrive dies, spend a month starving alone waiting for death. The cold streets of your world offer no fear to Twenty, submitting to the likes of you would mean going back to where Twenty started. You are a disgrace to your people, who have been so kind to me." The dragos flung the remains of his water into the startled and furious lapine's face and then stormed out of the club.
As the dragos stormed out he heard the rabbit call out. "Go on freeze, it's better than any of you murderous bastards deserve!"
He rushed out into the dark streets, the hour so late they were mostly empty. His breath turning to freezing mist as he panted in his fury. He clenched his three digit fists tightly and tried to prevent himself from hitting inanimate objects. The rabbit had made some hideous suggestions, however, there was something far worse bothering the dragos.
He wandered the streets for hours, running over his life in his mind. He found himself at a park which overlooked the city. He sat down on a bench and the sun began to peak over the horizon, like it was emerging newly former from the sea, which took on its golden glow. As the temperature slowly began to rise and he felt his body temperature rising with it he felt tears streaming down his face. He had considered it! Just for a moment he had considered submitting to that horrible male for a hot meal and a warm bed.
Using the determination which had allowed him to steal a short range shuttle and fly it out of dragos space, to keep running when all logic told him he would die. To stretch out the meagre rations he had to last a few more days until pure luck had led a lapine transport to answer his distress call. He wiped away his tears and set his mind, standing up he began to walk towards the racing spaceport. It was a new day and he still had hope and some dignity left.
As John returned, to the small office he had spent all of yesterday interviewing in, he was shocked to find it occupied. The occupant was instantly recognisable and quite a welcome sight. It was the Orca pilot, Thelen Salek, he had yet to take part in a racing season. However, John had participated in a few friendly training rounds with the large cetacean and knew he was a skilled pilot.
The orca was very tall and broad and with quite a belly on him. His shoulders were broad and muscular to match his chest. The white skin around his eyes giving him a cute face, it matched the white on his broad and firm chest. He had a long and broad tail which could be a bit of a hassle in the narrow corridors of buildings designed for the smaller slender rabbits.
Since the Cetacean Hegemony had made diplomatic contact with the rest of the known universe six months ago only a few had wandered this far. Thelen had been drawn to the lapine fight racing by the challenge it posed as a pilot. Like the human he had fallen in love with the lapine people, their warm and welcoming nature. John had actually introduced the orca to a rabbit, who had now become the orca's mate, three months back.
"Good morning Thelen, come to sign up as my tail gunner?" He asked partly in jest and partly in hope. Despite his size the orca had great skills and would be an asset as a partner.
"No... I had something... I mean if you're not too busy... I could come back." The orca mumbled his white cheeks showing a tinge of pink embarrassment.
The human gave him a puzzled stare as he walked over to sit behind the desk. "I'm not too busy for you, do you need some help?"
"Yes... well no... I mean sort of. I kinda wanted to ask you about something." The orca mumbled unable to make eye contact. Then he looked around as if making sure no-one else had snuck into the room behind the human. "I... need to know... I mean have you heard of..."
The human gave the orca a warm reassuring smile. "Come on, spit it out."
Thelen's cheeks blushed even more and the large creature looked down at his huge sandal covered feet. "Have you heard of heat?" He whispered quietly
The human couldn't help but laugh, "So that's what this is about, it's Paul's time of year is it?"
The orca shushed the human glancing around panicked. "Keep it down, I don't want everyone to know. You've been through this before?"
John smiled and nodded leaning back and relaxing. "Yes, twice now. First time was kinda a tough situation, second time... was fun."
"You went through it with him?" The orca asked in shock finally lifting his huge head to look at the human.
"Of course, that's what boyfriends and husbands do on Lapros. You don't have to though, if you don't want to, it's not mandatory and Paul's not a jerk. So he's not going to force you, right?" The human leaned forward and lightly patted the orca's huge muscular bicep. "You'll be fine."
"Yeah he said it's my choice, I just don't know. I mean all those other males. I've never even thought of a threesome before." Thelen admitted shyly, now that the topic was broached he was finding it easier to talk and the human's friendly and understanding attitude was helping him relax.
"Neither had I, hell I hadn't even been with a male before then I got stuck in a tin can with a bunch of lapines. They went into heat and so did I. It was ok, I mean very fun. However, what was really nice, both times, was afterwards." John leaned forward a little getting closer as the two shared a moment, two offworlders talking about their lapine partners. "Your mind gets this sort of weird endorphine rush, it's kind of like a gentle high. You spend days and hours just laying together kissing, nuzzling and saying how much you love each other. It's a beautiful time, however you need to make the decision for yourself if you can go through with it. However, once you step foot in the relief room you will find yourself entering heat too and you won't feel self conscious, you will just want to enjoy every one of those willing males."
The orca took a deep breath. "Sounds kinda scary to be honest."
"It is, but worth it in my opinion. You have to make your own decision though." The human said giving the orca's arm a squeeze.
Thelen smiled and nodded. "Thank you for talking to me about it, I will give it some thought before I make my decision. Paul said I had a few weeks before he hits his heat." The orca looked around the office and his eye caught the pile of applications. "Did you find anyone yet?"
"Not really, I mean these guys all need a lot of work, they really don't have the skill to compete at our level yet. Well except for..." The human paused and thought again. "What do you know about Twenty?"
"The dragos? Not that much, I mean I've met him a couple of times, he seemed nice. I hear his sponsor dropped him just cause he's a dragos and you guys are at war with them. That's kinda fucked up." The cetacean leaned forward and added in a lower voice. "Some of the engineers told me the government froze his financial accounts too."
"Really? They froze his accounts just for being dragos, he's a refuge though." John said, he'd never thought of dragos as anything but the enemy. However, the guy he'd met yesterday hadn't seemed like his enemy. He seemed like a desperate man down on his luck hoping to catch a break. When he had been a freighter captain he had worn that look himself a few times when trying to find cargo to transport. "It doesn't seem right. I'll speak to Mr Fulmer and say I want Twenty on my team. Hell with his scores last season I might be back in with a chance at the title."
"Ha, don't count on it skinny, this year it's time for everyone to see what my people can do!" the orca said with a chuckle.
"Yes you can knock over pot plants with your tail, everyone knows this." The human replied with a laugh. "Besides, this is your first run, you should aim for a mid table finish, that would be good."
"Yeah, you mean like you did, last year was your first and you came second. I see no reason why I shouldn't try to go one better." Thelen replied and the jumped to his feet. "Either way I have to go and get some practice, you need to go get your gunner."
The human bade his friend goodbye and opened a comm channel to his sponsor Mr Fulmer. "Hello Sir, I've chosen my gunner."
The rabbit on the screen nodded. "Ah good, which one did you go for, one of the new young guys."
"No actually, Twenty's available so I figure our title shot is back on." The human said and then marked the disgruntled reaction of the rabbit.
"I thought we pulled his application, you can't hire him right now it's a financial nightmare! Our advertising revenue would plummet!" The rabbit replied firmly, his voice holding an edge that John had never heard before.
"He was let go for no good reason, he's a damn fine competitor and he deserves a chance." The human argued back just as firmly, he crossed his arms and tried to outstare the rabbit.
"Look, son, I don't disagree with your points, but none of those are a good reason to take on a racer who will turn your team from a nice little money maker into a financial black hole." Mr Fulmer responded, he had faced many boards, many CEO's and far more influential people, one angry celebrity was hardly a challenge. "Make me an offer that makes financial sense."
The human slumped back in his chair defeated, the like a phoenix rising from the ashes he brought Twenty's dead prospects back to life as inspiration struck. "What if nobody knows it's Twenty?"
The rabbit blinked and paused as his desire to end any talk of the dragos and his curiosity did battle in his mind. The latter won out and asked in its victory. "What do you mean, if nobody knows? How would we keep it a secret? Where would we make any money from him if nobody knows it's him?"
His plan was actually quite simple an all over flight suit to cover Twenty's body hands and tail. A large flight helmet to cover his head, nobody would know who or what he was. His tail could be a lutrai's, or a long tailed canos', or even a fake prosthetic. Twenty would arrive and leave in the suit and using a few simple tricks they could prevent the press from following him.
Only the three of them would know who his new gunner was. The mystery, of who the alien gunner was, would be enough to generate advertising revenue. Mr Fulmer had been on the fence until John said if he refused the human would walk out leaving him without a team just two days before the league started again.
It was then that John hit a real snag, getting in touch with Twenty proved to be near impossible. His comm account had been blocked, his landlord had thrown him out and none of his former team mates knew where he was. The human spent half the day calling everyone he knew. It was after another frustrating call that he got a comm message from Thelen.
It read simply, "Look out of the window, skinny." John frowned in confusion as he read it then turned to look out of the window. He could see the front gate to the spaceport and the security hut. Across the road leaning against one of the buildings was Twenty. As John wondered how long the dragos had been there he got another message from Thelen. "He's been there all day. You should have just asked me."
John couldn't help but laugh, he must have asked half the building. He never thought to ask the cetacean who had given him the final push to hire Twenty. He grabbed his coat and then made a dash for the door. He had another idea on his way out and headed to his car first driving it out he parked in front of the dragos and got out.
He could see the hopeful expression on the reptile's face and the restraint Twenty was using not to rush forward and ask. John had no intention of drawing this out so he just held out his hand. "Welcome aboard, if you still want in that is."
Twenty grabbed his hand like he was dangling of a cliff and it was the only way to save himself. "Oh yes, I definitely do, thank you I... thank you." The reptile could hardly control the emotions inside of him, the sensation of relief and elation were so powerful he couldn't stop himself grinning.
The human eventually pulled his hand back with a chuckle. He never thought he would ever shake hands with a dragos, let alone do so when they Human Republic was at war with the dragos. Still looking at the expression on Twenty's face he knew he had made the right decision.
"Ok why don't you hop in I can tell you the details on the way home. I'm afraid there are a few stipulations I need to update you on." John said as he got back into his car. It took Twenty a few seconds to shake himself out of his glee and get into the passenger seat.
As he drove John explained the deal he had worked out with his sponsor. Twenty wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of having to hide, however, he was intelligent enough not to say so. He thanked the human profusely for getting him onto his team. Then when he found out that John was going to let him stay at his place, until they could figure out a way to get the dragos cash flow unfrozen, he almost broke into tears.
Twenty insisted that he would pay backdated rent and food as soon as he got some actual cash. Realising how important it was to the dragos to not be a burden to anyone John didn't argue. They discussed tactics and racing strategies, it was weird to John how easy it was to speak to the dragos. For so long he had hated that race for all the friends he had lost, he never thought they could be good conversationalists.
The dragos was polite and friendly with Toby as well, who took the rather sudden appearance of a long term guest rather well. He whipped up something for them all to eat and the three of them discussed the races and the upcoming season. It was halfway through the meal that there was a knock at the door. Toby jumped up and headed to the door to answer it.
He opened the door to find a human woman standing their regarding him with a stern and unnerving expression. She was at least six foot tall, with long blonde hair pulled back into a neat bun. She wasn't wearing any makeup, yet had some natural good looks. Her eyes were green and there was something vaguely familiar about her face. She was dressed in a smart shirt and pants both with perfectly ironed creases.
When she spoke her voice held a strong accent and her tone dripped with distain. "Ah, I assume you are my brother's housekeeper. Is he home?" She asked her tone indicating that no was not an acceptable answer.
The rabbit gulped softly, in their time together John had never mentioned having a sister. He never spoke of his family except to say that his parents were dead. "I... he's insides, but I'm..."
"Perfect, I will go see him then." She cut across sharply and half barged the rabbit out of the way as she strode purposefully into his home. As she strode through their home casting disapproving glances everywhere. When she spotted the dragos she paused in her tracks, her hand instinctively grabbing at a none existent holster. Then she recovered and as John spotted her his jaw dropped.
She stepped smartly over to the table saying. "Dear brother, what have you come to? It's bad enough you live here, but really you even you should have better tastes in your friends."
"Hello Emma, I didn't know you were coming." John said through gritted teeth as he stood up, indicating to Twenty to stay where he was. "This is my houseguest Twenty and that is my husband Toby."
"Husband! Oh good grief I knew your standards were low but seriously I never thought you'd stoop quite this low." The female human exclaimed waving at the two aliens. "You're not entirely ugly and you have some minor skills as a pilot, I'm sure you could have found some human desperate enough."
"You are my sister and in a way I care for you, but if you insult my husband again and I will knock out your front teeth... again." John snarled as he stepped closer to his sister. "Now, I assume this wasn't a friendly visit, because you don't know how to be friendly so just say what you've got to say and then go. Hopefully it'll be another ten years before I see you again dear sister."
Emma smiled and folded her arms as she retorted. "How like you, dear brother, to resort to physical threats because you can't think of a proper response. Unfortunately for you we are going to be seeing a lot more of each other. Well I'll be seeing you a lot... briefly... when I shoot you out of each race."
"You're flying in the dogfight races!" John exclaimed in disbelief. "Why? You hate aliens, love the navy and there's a war on."
"Yes, I was rather enjoying the challenge." The woman replied her voice holding the faintest hint of sadness. "Although challenge is a bit of a stretch, dragos pilots are highly predictable and really only a threat in numbers." She continued her eyes watching Twenty's reaction closely.
When the dragos gave no reaction she continued. "However, I'm thirty six now and you know what that means. They took me out of the cockpit." This time she couldn't hide the hurt in her tone. "Seventeen years behind the stick and they ask me to put it down. I refused a desk job or a command and they terminated my service."
"At least you have all your limbs intact." Her brother said for the first time he felt some compassion. The military had kicked him out when he lost his leg. "Still seventeen years and all you get is a pat on the back and a kick in the ass."
"Yes, still dear brother their loss is your loss." She replied her tone returning to the same measured one she had used throughout. "There is no civilian job as challenging as fighter pilot. I did consider joining the lapine navy as an alien volunteer, still it's bad enough working with these... people." She spat the word with distain her eyes glaring at Toby making the rabbit shrink back. "I couldn't take orders from one. Besides, I hear last year you came second that can only mean the competition here is rather pitiful. I will enjoy making you all look like the amateurs you are."
"Well dear sister I think you might find the races more of a challenge than you assume." John replied spitting the word sister with equal distain.
"Oh please don't make me laugh, you could never match me and you know it." His sister replied with an infuriating smirk.
"Did you seriously just come by to say hi and I'm going to win the title?" The human asked in exasperation.
Emma smirk grew more smug if that was possible. "Oh what were you expecting? Hugs, kisses and then we'd all go out for tea and cupcakes, your little zoo in tow I suppose." She scoffed waving her hand at the two mute aliens.
"I wasn't expecting anything, now you've said what you had to say. Really spoiled a nice evening, now piss off." Trembling in his rage, John had taken all he could of his sister and if she didn't leave soon Twenty and Toby would have to pull him off her.
"Oh very well, I mean the shine has worn off this reunion and there is that odd smell of old boots and lucky rabbits feet in here." She replied turning and walking quickly to the front door. "See you in the dogfight, oh so briefly I imagine. Goodbye."
As the door closed behind her John found himself still trembling in his pure indignation, he turned to Twenty and snarled. "I don't care if we finish second last, so long as we come above that bitch!"
"We are married, how come I didn't know you had a sister?" Toby asked his quite voice suddenly deafening as the room filled with silence.
The screech of chair on tiles made both the human and rabbit turn back to the dragos as he stooped. "Twenty go unpack." The reptile said as he fled the room. He had no belongings to unpack and they all knew it. Still any excuse would do to be out of the way of a couple about to argue.
John sighed and shook his head. "My sister and I... we never got on. I mean our parents weren't exactly the most xeno friendly people. I got raised on a steady mixture honour and glory vitriol and human superiority zealousness." He stepped forward and took the rabbit's paws in his, enjoying the warm sensation as he squeezed. "I didn't know how to say, 'hey my family are all bigoted bastards and will never accept you' in a nice way. Plus I haven't seen or had any contact with my sister in about ten years."
"She seemed..."Toby started and then found himself unable to finish the sentence.
"Horrible? Arrogant? As bigoted as they come? She really is not a pleasant person." John said with a smile as he slipped his arms around the rabbit. "Sorry I never told you about her, now you can see why I rarely talk about my past. I'm ashamed for the most part. My parents were great pilots and brave people there is much I am proud of them for. They gave their lives selflessly in the line of duty. When they died I was still quite young. Emma and I... we didn't have any other family to fall back on. She was just old enough to join the navy. She had a choice, stay with me as my guardian or sign up and follow in my parents footprints."
The human sat himself down at the table, still holding the rabbit's paw his hand trembling slightly. It was amazing how hard it was to think back on those days. He could feel the tears welling behind his eyes. "She chose the navy. I ended up in foster care, passed from family to family until I turned sixteen and I was able to sign up myself."
Toby put his arms around the human and hugged him tightly. "I knew you hated talking about your past, I can see why."
Sniffing slightly John shrugged. "She was young too, I can understand why she ran away. I met her a few times in the service, she...always had to compare our service records, prove herself better. I think she feels guilty about leaving me and she always feels the need to show just how much she has done for our people, as a sort of validation of her choice. Of course now she can't do that anymore so..."
"She comes here to find validation by beating you in your new life?" The rabbit sighed as he squeezed the human. "Seems a bit far fetched and desperate."
"Oh definitely and I could be wrong, but my sister took my parents opinions about aliens to heart. I really can't think of another reason she would come here to live with the 'lesser races' other than to make herself feel better." The human admitted.
"Maybe she found herself out of the military for the first time and came looking for family." Toby suggested quietly.
John laughed softly standing up. "I love you and you're so sweet. However, don't go thinking my sister is like any other sentient being. Underneath that cold exterior is a ball of ice, not a heart. She's here to prove she's still better than me and make herself feel superior. That's it and I have no intention of letting her."
The two sat in silence for a few minutes before John stood up and tenderly kissed the rabbit saying. "So am I forgiven for keeping my past secret?"
"Yes, as long as you have no other family members coming to surprise us." Toby agreed and returned the kiss and hug warmly.
"No just the one crazy sister and me, that's all that's left of my family." John replied with a chuckle.
"And one husband." Toby added with a chuckle as they kissed again.
As agreed Twenty arrived for the races fully covered, not even the fighter engineering crew had been told who he was. One engineer who was particularly interested was Corin; he was a light grey bunny, with a black patch over his right eye and eatip, along with a few black spots on his face. The spots and patches appeared across most of his body. He often felt slightly embarrassed by them as he felt they were unattractive.
He was wearing a grey coverall, which was covered in the stains you get when working on fighter craft engines all day every day. Still his mind was a curious one and the idea of a mystery pilot was already eating at him. However, for that pilot to be in the fighter he was working on was just pure torment to the curious rabbit. He found himself staring at the pilot from the second Twenty appeared in full flight suit and tinted helmet.
The tail seemed to Corin to indicate that the pilot was a lutrai. However, the news reports had been full of theories, some hinting that the flight-suit covered tail could be a deliberate attempt to make people think that very thing. When what was inside could be a wolf, or a human, or anything! It was maddening and the poor rabbit couldn't wait to find out who was under the helmet.
Sadly he found out that the plans were not to reveal the identity of the pilot until after the full racing season. It was distracting him from his work and from the conversation, he was a silent partner to, with a fellow engineer. He was suddenly acutely aware that the blonde rabbit was staring at him expectantly with an increasing frown.
"Sorry what was that?" He asked rather lamely as he failed to meet Paul's frustrated gaze.
"You haven't been listening to a word I said, you've just been staring at the new pilot?" Paul asked his paws resting on his hips as he glared at his friend. "Pity cause if you'd been listening you'd have heard that Thelen is sure he knows who it is?"
Corin's ears shot up and his attention was finally wrenched away from the pilot. "He does? Who is it?" He asked his words so rapid that the questions were barely understandable.
"Oh no, you didn't listen to me when I was talking about how awesome Thelen has been about my heat. You don't get to hear the rest of his news." Paul said adjusting his glasses and taking his paws off his hips as he turned to leave. "Besides it's just a really stupid marketing gimmick. I mean who cares who it really is?"
"I care!" They grey rabbit half shouted. "It could be anyone, anything. Who could resist such a mystery, I mean where's your curiosity?"
"Well since Thelen told me... I don't need to be curious." Paul replied with a chuckle petting Corin on the shoulder as he smiled smugly. "Now I am off, Thelen's taking me for a meal after today's race."
"Really? He agreed to go through heat with you, I thought he was all against it?" The grey rabbit asked smiling a little, he knew Paul had been really worried how the orca would take to the facts of heat. He was glad to see his friend happy, although he was also hoping that if he showed an interest now his friend might forgive him and give him the name of the pilot.
"Yeah, he changed his mind. Said he talked it through with a friend and he's gonna go through with it." Paul said and then leaned close putting his muzzle by Corin's ear whispering. "You want to know who it is?"
"YES!" Corin practically squealed his reply.
"Then you should have listened when I told you earlier." The blonde rabbit whispered and then walked off chuckling to himself. Leaving a rather disgruntled grey rabbit in his wake. He was woken from his fuming by Jose, head engineer on his team. She demanded to know why he wasn't helping with the pre race checks. He mumbled an apology and got back to work trying to ignore the nagging sense of curiosity.
The race was a bit of a mixed bag for John and Twenty. The dragos found out that Emma's sponsor was his old sponsor and she was partnered with his tiger gunner. He was able to use his knowledge of his gunner to give John a few tips on how to fly up on his sister. The two had been feeling pretty confident going into the race.
The first racing stage had gone well, they cleared the course and reached the dogfights well clear of the second place. However, the dogfight had not gone well. Emma nailed them cleanly early on, using some manoeuvres he didn't even know the lapine fighters could pull. That set the scene for how the rest of the day went, John's knowledge of racing clearly outmatched his sister's, however, Emma's dogflighting skills made her almost untouchable in the fighting sections. Fortunately Twenty had managed to score a hit on her in the third and final dogfight. While not a killing blow it had given them an extra point and that gave them the win, by the narrowest margin possible.
Still John was in a good mood after the race, he showered quickly and then dashed off to the pilot's bar for a drink. He told Twenty he wouldn't be long and himself that he was just going to say hi to the other racers. However, he was secretly hoping to see his sister so he could rub her nose in second place.
The bar was busy with pilots unwinding after the race, he looked around for his sister but failed to spot her. He did spot Kyle, her tiger gunner. The well built feline was having a drink with some of the VIP spectators. All of whom were lapine and had paid a fortune to get VIP tickets to get access to the racers bar. John had been hit on quite a lot in the bar and unless Toby was with him tended to avoid it.
However, the highly sexual feline tended to pick a lapine or two and have some fun with them as a way to relax after the race. The human smiled a little as he remembered Eric doing the same, he felt slightly guilty that today had been the first race and he hadn't missed his old wolf partner until just then.
Kyle looked in his direction and gave him a grin and waved him over, leaving a couple of disappointed lapines as he wandered to meet him halfway. "Wow, what a race, huh? You guys are gonna have to do something to catch up to us, you can't always reply on a lucky hit." The tiger crowed as he approached the human, placing a large paw on the human's upper arm in a friendly gesture.
"Bah, I was just going say that my sister really needs to up her game in the racing section if you guys are going to stand a chance. Middle of the pack isn't going to keep you in contention." The human replied with a chuckle. "You two getting along ok?"
"Yeah, she's great!" The tiger exclaimed. "I mean, I miss Twenty, but man your sister can out dogfight anyone. She's easy on the eyes too." John jumped a little at the tiger's last words. He could never think of his sister like that.
The tiger lowered his voice and leaned closer. "I know you humans can be a bit funny about sex, so I want to ask now before I go for it. You'd be ok if me and your sister...you know?"
John practically choked on the breath he was taking as his mind rejected the question. "I don't think you're her type." He said as soon as he finished coughing. "I mean she's speciest, she'd never go with a non human."
"Oh you mean all the 'humans are best, aren't I amazing' crap she puts on. Please boy that's an act. I know the type inside you sister is a scared lonely little girl." The tiger said sadly and then added. "And I want to bang her! Your sister that is, not a little girl."
The human's brain simply wasn't able to process the conversation he was having. "I... ok, I mean she's a grown woman and god knows I don't have anything to do with her life or her decisions. If you want to go get slapped by my sister have at it."
Kyle laughed loudly and then smirked. "Oh 'have at it'? Damn you sure you're not part tiger that's the attitude we have regarding friends nailing our family?" The tiger suddenly hugged the human. "Well then I'm off to 'have at it'. Wish me luck."
"Good luck." John muttered in confusion, then realised he'd just wished a rather slutty guy good luck in screwing his sister. This was not how he thought today would go.
Corin felt extremely conspicuous as he lurked outside the racers locker room. He'd seen the human leave a few minutes earlier and had yet to see the mystery gunner emerge. He guessed they were in the shower... undressed and exposed to anyone who just so happened to wander in. Innocently to...ah fix a locker door, change a lightbulb or something.
Yes the lockers could stick really badly sometimes, he should really go and grease the hinges. If he managed to catch a glimpse at the mystery racer, that's not his fault. Besides Paul and Thelen knew and it wasn't fair that they wouldn't tell him. Just a sneak peek and then he'd be gone, no harm to anyone, he'd keep his mouth shut. Besides as a member of the racing team, as junior engineer, he had right to know who was flying the ship he maintained.
All of this passed through his mind in less than two seconds and he found himself wandering over to the locker room. He swiped is keycard through the lock and was a little surprised when the door opened. With a quick glance up the corridor to make sure no-one saw him, he slipped inside shutting the door as quietly as he could.
He could hear the sound of water running and realised the racer must be in the shower. Perfect, he could get a sneak peek and then be gone. He snuck up to the shower entrance trying to keep his breathing calm as his heart went crazy in his chest. He knew he would probably be fired if he was caught. Mr Fulmer had been very clear about wanting to keep the identity of the racer a secret until after the season.
Still he had to know and if he was quick the racer wouldn't know and he could just enjoy being in on the secret. Taking a deep breath he pressed against the wall of the shower and then with barely contained excitement he stuck his head around the wall and practically headbutted Twenty who was just leaving the shower.
The engineer stared open mouthed, his eyes wandering over every detail of the naked and startled reptile. The spots covering his body reminded him of his own, yet on the reptile somehow they were hot, he found himself wanting to lick them. He couldn't help but note how the spots near his hands and feet joined together into a series of stripes. His eyes glancing down slightly disappointed to find the reptile's genitals were stored inside his genital slit, leaving just a thin line on his crotch.
"What you doing here?" Twenty asked in shock. "You not supposed to know who I am!"
"I... I..." Corin squeaked as he tried to think back to the excuses he had prepared. "I'm here to grease your lightbulb!"
"What?" The dragos asked in confusion.
"I... I just had to know, I'm sorry. Please don't tell anyone, I'll get fired. I'll do anything!" The rabbit cried out in desperation. "Please, I won't tell anyone, I promise."
The dragos paused as the rabbit pleaded with him, he found the sympathy inside him growing. "Anything?" He asked with a smile as an idea came to his mind.
"Yes, yes. Anything you want?" Corin said, he looked nervously at the reptile's smile.
Twenty leaned forward and said quietly. "Twenty wants you..." Corin's heart leapt into his mouth and then crashed back down again as the dragos continued. "... to talk to him. He is to hide away from his friends so they don't find out he is secret gunner. So that leaves just John and his husband to talk to."
"Sure, I can talk, what do you want to talk about. The race, the weather, the war..." Corin stopped himself a moment to late, he winced at his own lack of tact.
"The race or the weather is fine." Twenty replied as he grabbed a towel and began to dry himself.
"Yes, well congratulations on that last shot I mean you guys had a tough run but you came out on top. I don't know where you guys learned to fly, but I don't think I could ever hope to match those manoeuvres." The rabbit was gibbering and he knew it but the mixture of fear and relief was heady and he knew his mind was unlikely to work properly for a while, so let his tongue go on auto pilot.
"Twenty's last master teach him to fly. He want chauffer but not willing to hire one, so he teach his slave." The dragos said quietly as he finished drying himself.
"You... you were a slave?" The rabbit asked in shock.
"Yes, from day I hatched. Too small to be free only, worth as a slave." Twenty confirmed as he pulled on his flight suit again. It was rather uncomfortable, but he couldn't complain as it was in a strange way his liberation. "I am lucky if I was any smaller then not be worth a slave, then snap!" The dragos snapped his fingers as he spoke. "Neck broken and into the compost heap. There was just one percent body weight between my slavery and death."
Corin sat and listened in horror as Twenty told him of growing up as a slave. However, as he listened he found a deeper respect for the reptile, he'd been given a terrible lot in life, yet he'd not let it break him. He had an inner strength of character that the rabbit couldn't hope to match. Eventually John returned, and after Twenty explained it was ok for Corin to know who he was, he took the lizard away.
The weeks passed and the races continued, each one was a close run thing. Emma gained a better grasp on the racing aspect and John raised his game in the dogfighting. They weren't the only ones to improve most of the pilots in the game were highly competitive beings and seeing the human brother and sister dominating the races was not something they were going to sit back and take.
Still the brother sister rivalry turned out to be highly entertaining and the media loved it. The mystery gunner angle fell away significantly. Twenty often found himself spending hours waiting to leave, while John was giving interviews. This would have been tedious if not for the company of Corin.
The engineer sat with the dragos every spare moment he could and the two talked and shared the details of their lives. They grew very close in those few weeks and the time he got to spend with the rabbit, post race, soon became the high point in the reptile's week. Twenty was troubled by some of the feelings growing inside him and he decided to talk to the rabbit about it. He did this after a particularly bad race where Emma had finally managed to knock him and John off the top spot.
Corin was sitting waiting as the dragos arrived still fully clad in his flightsuit and helmet. He had grown to hate the outfit so much, it felt more like a prison each time he wore it. He dropped the helmet on a bench and stripped out of the suit saying. "Someday Twenty will not have to wear this silly outfit. I look forward to this day greatly."
"Oh I don't know, I kinda like how it shows off your thick hips." The rabbit said with a chuckled. He knew that in a moment the dragos would jump into the shower and he, as the gentlerabbit he was, would not peek, well not more than a couple of times.
However, Twenty had other plans and instead he sat down next to the rabbit and took hold of his paw. Enjoying the feel of the soft fur on his sensitive scales as he squeezed it and tried to remember hat he had to say. "When Twenty first arrive on Lapros he saw the most wonderful thing. A father playing with his children while waiting in spaceport."
Corin looked a little confused as the dragos continued with his story. "Twenty had never seen such a thing, he could see a bond between them. Twenty did not have word for this bond. He knew nothing of this, no dragos did, we do not learn or experience such things. It was such a beautiful thing Twenty learned what it was called. Love, so simple a word for such a wonderful thing. Twenty learn later that there are many forms of love."
The dragos paused and looked up at the rabbit. "In the Imperium dragos learn to be strong, independent, fierce and proud. We do not teach each other of this love, we do not know of it. I thought this bond was something that my species was not capable of." Twenty focused on the rabbit paw in his three fingered hands he found himself incapable of looking up into the eyes of the rabbit.
"Twenty knows that this is wrong, that though we never learn of this bond we can find it." The dragos squeezed the rabbit's paw lightly. "Twenty feels this bond growing with Corin and wonders if Corin might feel it too."
The rabbit gasped deeply at the reptile's words. "A... are you saying you love me?"
Twenty nodded his head still unable to look the rabbit in the eye as he waited to hear his response.
The rabbit squeezed the lizard's hand gently and whispered. "I feel the bond too."
Twenty slowly lifted his large reptilian head until he was finally looking into Corin's eyes. The two slowly leaned forward until their lips met and the kissed for the first time. Clumsily and hesitantly at first and then with growing confidence and passion. The dragos caressed the rabbit's cheeks holding his head as they kissed until with a happy sigh their lips parted.
Twenty found himself breathless and even more nervous as he stood up. "Twenty need to shower." He paused for a second and then held out a hand. "Join him?"
Corin couldn't stop himself grinning as he took the reptile's paw. The two quickly headed to the showers, Corin took a few seconds to strip out of his greasy coveralls then they both headed in.
The rabbit turned on all the shower heads turning them to aim at the centre of the room. The two stood in the centre, hot water raining down on them from all angles steam filling the room. The rabbit returned to Twenty his paws sliding around the lizard, their lips meeting again. They kissed, as their wet naked bodies slid against each other.
Corin gasped as his erect cock slid up Twenty's inner thigh the slight friction of the tiny dragos scales teased his cock in the most delightful way. He moaned as he felt Twenty's own erection pressing into his thigh in return. He reached down, his fingers exploring the erect reptile cock. Its surface was covered in the most fine scales, giving it a wonderfully stimulating texture. With a slight bend in the middle and ridges running on the underside and further down on the top, the rabbit was desperate to find out what they felt like inside him.
Twenty reached down, wrapping his thick fingers around the rabbit's cock and stroking it slowly and tenderly. Corin blushed and lay his head on the dragos' shoulder with a sigh. "I... it's not much." He whispered in embarrassment as he felt the wonderful scaled fingers stroking his cock. He had never felt himself to be big enough down there. He was slightly smaller than the average lapine, just five inches long and only a few thick.
The dragos smiled and looked down at the cock in his hand. "It's beautiful, all of you is beautiful." The rabbit moaned loudly as the dragos squeezed his cocktip as he spoke, then ran his huge thumb over the sensitive head of his cock.
"No, you're the beautiful one." Corin moaned softly as he bit down on the dragos' shoulder.
They stood together, caressing and exploring each others bodies. Sharing sweet kisses and sweeter words. Until eventually Corin could take no more, he had a need that he could not resist. The rabbit turned around pressing himself back up against Twenty, he wriggled his tail against the dragos' erect cock wantonly hoping the dragos would get the message.
Twenty put his arm around the lapine's stomach holding himself to that wonderful warm body. His cock slipped between the rabbit's thighs and as he felt the rabbit pushing back against him he knew what Corin wanted. He nibbled on the rabbit's shoulders as he felt Corin reach up to stroke his neck. He moaned lustfully into the rabbit's ears.
It was strange to him to have someone wanting him to fuck them. As a slave he had been violated often. On Lapros he had refrained from any sexual activity until his recent financial plight had lead to several sexual encounters born out of desperation. In all of those he had played the subordinate role and not the dominant role. He was unsure what he should do, however, he loved the rabbit all the more for giving him the dominant role.
He remembered the times he had been taken, the pain of that entrance, the needs of the person on top being all that mattered. He had no desire to cause any pain to the rabbit and so he found himself reluctant to do anything. However, Corin was not willing to take no for an answer, the rabbit reached behind himself and took the erect throbbing reptilian shaft and guided it to his quivering pucker.
Even with his cock pressed to the rabbit's pucker, sending wonderful needful signals through his body, the reptile could not bring himself to actually thrust. Corin sensed the hesitation and whispered. "Is everything ok?"
"Twenty is worried. He not want to hurt sweet Corin." The dragos admitted nuzzling into the rabbit's neck and kissing the fur there.
Realisation hit home hard with the rabbit and he reached up caressing the sweet lizard's face as he replied. "You won't hurt me, my heat was only a month ago. I want this, I want you and I am ready. I promise if it hurts I will let you know."
"Ok". Twenty whispered and then began to thrust forward. He found that his pointed cocktip slipped easily into the warm depths of the rabbit.
The dragos moaned out loudly as he felt his meat engulfed in the hot and tight confines of the mammal. The rabbit's body temperature was several degrees higher than his own and the heat surrounding his cock was too much to resist he could not stop himself from thrusting in further until he felt his hips resting against the rabbit's
For Corin the entry was gentle and slow the thick meat spreading him slowly in tender and very gentle thrusts, as the dragos had pushed himself into him. His last heat being so recent his pucker was still slightly stretched and more than able to receive without pain. In fact as he felt the scaly hips press against his, the dragos' cock touched something wonderful inside and he moaned out loud.
Twenty stopped holding himself inside the rabbit the sensations of the hot ass proving almost too much he almost came right there. Still as he held still he felt the potential orgasm fading and the need to thrust growing. He ignored all of this and whispered. "Corin is ok?"
The rabbit moaned softly wriggling his ass and getting a deep moan from Twenty in response. "Corin is more than ok, I am wonderful, happy and aroused. I want you to mate me, I need you to mate me."
The reassurance was all Twenty needed, the dragos began to thrust in and out slowly and gently. The rabbit's pleasured moans giving him confidence he began to speed up his thrusting, the warmth and tightness of the rabbit surrounding him was just too wonderful. He could already feel the need to orgasm growing inside him.
Corin could not believe the sensations the dragos cock was bringing to him, the ridges tickled his inside, sending ripples of pleasure through him. The bend in his cock seemed to allow the reptile to hit his prostate perfectly with each thrust. He pushed back wantonly into Twenty and whispered reassuringly. "Oh, this feels so good. I love you."
The dragos groaned happily hearing those words he continued to thrust faster and harder. He couldn't control himself as he bred the rabbit's rear giving his all to Corin. The sensations being driven into his cock were greater than anything he had ever imagined, he felt his need to orgasm growing and didn't know how to fight it. He cried out softly as his body trembled his hips pounding harder into the rabbit, as his cock throbbed and he sent thick ropes of dragos seed into his lover.
Twenty held himself to the rabbit panting softly and feeling slightly embarrassed at how long he had lasted. He reached down and grasped the rabbit's cock jerking it quickly. The rabbit moaned lustfully bucking a little against his paw but then pushed back wanting to keep the hot dragos length inside him.
The rabbit moaned and gasped as the dragos stroked him faster and faster. He loved the feel of the body behind him pressing close. He had enjoyed the fucking and understood that it was Twenty's first time topping, he was impressed as the dragos had gone for longer than he did his first time, longer than his first few boyfriends had. Mostly he didn't think about it he thought about; the dragos and how much he cared for him, how much the reptile seemed to enjoy his presence and how great his strong hand felt.
It wasn't long before the rabbit cried out in pleasure his jets of cum getting instantly washed away by the torrents of water cascading down on them. His cock throbbed and pulsed in the lizard's hand as he emptied himself into the moment. Their bodies and cocks spent the two just stood there holding each other, nuzzling and kissing. Whispering the tender words of love until with the greatest reluctance they finished their shower. Knowing that soon John would turn up to take Twenty away again.
They dried each other and dressed, then awaited the human wrapped in each others arms. They talked, kissed and just enjoyed the presence of their love.
John groaned as the last reporter was escorted out. Racing was great, all the smiling and talking about it afterwards to journalists seemed so fake it was hard to keep it up week after week. It wasn't helpful that their interest in his rivalry with his sister had lead to so much digging in his past. He was sick of repeating himself that he held no ill feelings towards his sister for abandoning him.
He hadn't realised, until Toby mentioned it to him one night, but the press were chasing him because of the way he said it. He was accusing his sister each time of abandoning him and that was clear evidence to anyone that he wasn't over it. He found himself watching his sister's interviews. She seemed far more composed than he was and shot down any references to her past with cool deference.
However, when he saw a journalist ask how she felt abandoning her brother, just for a moment he saw a flicker of something on her face. He wasn't sure if it was; doubt, sadness or regret, but he knew that it was something she didn't like to think about. He thought about going to see her, but he hadn't been able to make himself. Then the next couple of races had driven it out of his mind as the rivalry really took off.
This time when asked about his sister, he replied that she had made her decision and he understood it. It wasn't exactly the truth, he never understood his sister or how she could walk out on him like that. However, Toby was right and the press had backed off on the subject.
He took a deep breath and wandered out of the interview rooms. He wandered to the pilots' bar where he thought Toby would be waiting for him. As he entered he spotted her, sitting at the bar looking prim and proper as always. Her clothes perfectly ironed and folding a little too perfectly as he sat on a stood. On one side she had Kyle and on the other Thelen, she didn't look comfortable and she was definitely leaning away from the tiger.
The human jumped as he felt a paw on his shoulder, turning to see Toby smiling at him. "Hey, how are you doing? The press run you through the gauntlet again?"
John nodded and turned to hug his husband. "It wasn't so bad, though getting reminded time and again how I got knocked off the top spot by my sister wasn't fun. I see she's here for the first time."
"Oh yes, she came over to say hello to her brother's 'little bunny toy'. I actually quite like that, after all you get to play with me whenever you want." The rabbit said with a chuckle and a sneaky squeeze on the human's rear.
"I guess I should go over and congratulate her, show that I can be gracious in defeat." John said as he gave Toby a kiss on the cheek and the headed over.
Emma smiled a vicious smile as she spotted him approaching. "Well dear brother you put up quite the fight but in the end the result was inevitable, I win."
"You are a mere two points up with three quarters of the season left to race, don't count me out just yet." John said and remembering the brief look of doubt he had once seen he added an olive branch. "Still it was a good race and that little move you pulled in the second fight was brilliant."
"To you maybe, but then you always lacked creativity in your flying." She replied with a smug sneer.
"Can't give an inch can you?" Jon asked with a sad smile.
"No and it really shouldn't surprise you after all this time." She replied taking a sip on her cocktail.
"Oh it doesn't. I guess I was just hoping that now you were winning you could be a gracious winner." He replied giving Thelen and Kyle a nod, both of whom had sensed the strange vibe from the two human's and kept their mouths shut.
"I'm going to kick all your asses next year and make you kiss mine." Kyle said with a chuckle. "That's what you said after coming second last year."
"I was drunk, really really drunk. Hell I think I stuck my tongue down your throat that night." The human replied waving his hands for emphasis.
"Well you used tongue, but not down my throat." The tiger replied sticking out his tongue for emphasis.
"Ok, I really don't want to know any more." Emma jumped in rather quickly.
"I licked salt off his neck before doing a shot, ok? Nothing more sordid than that." John explained a little too quickly and loudly.
"It was totally sordid, you boyfriend licked salt off the other side and you were both groping me. It doesn't get more sordid." Kyle responded with an evil chuckle and a wink in the direction of Toby who was clearly within earshot now. "Well ok, it could have got a lot more sordid if you two weren't such prudes. Just like your sister." The tiger said and then stood up giving Thelen a wink. "You and your boyfriend ever want to find out what these three missed out on give me a call, I like big guys too, they are... comfy."
The huge orca blushed heavily and looked away in embarrassment. John reached out and gave him a friendly pat saying. "He's not that bad, just a typical tiger when it comes to his attitude towards sex."
"I'm ok, just on my world nobody would offer that sort of thing so openly." Thelen replied shyly.
"I wouldn't worry about it love, it just mean's your people have a lot more class than his." To John's shock it was Emma who said this, it was hard to believe his sister not only trying to comfort someone but an alien as well. Then she turned to Thelen and said. "Now you were asking about that little turn I did on the second fight. It's called an Olivera turn, I'll be practicing tomorrow if you want I can show you how to pull it off. You'll probably not be able to do it correctly, but you might get close."
"Why dear sister, that was almost nice of you. Are you drunk?" John asked before Thelen could reply.
"Oh I am, drunk on your defeat." She replied draining her glass and giving Thelen a nod. "Tomorrow o nine hundred hours." She said as she left the bar.
"Wow a few weeks on this planet and my sister is almost able to be nice to someone." The human said staring after his sister, then turned to Thelen and Toby. "Must be something in the water on lapros, makes everyone nicer."
The orca looked a little puzzled. "She's been pretty nice to me since after the first race. I wouldn't be sitting in fifth place if she hadn't helped."
"Nice? Are you sure you're talking about my sister?" The human asked jumping onto the stool next to the orca while Toby came to stand between them forming a little conversation triangle.
"Yeah, she has helped me learn a few things and I taught her a couple of racing tips. Plus she's funny too." The orca replied and then chuckled. "Yesterday we got into discussions on how human's are actually the species second most likely to try mating with an alien. When Kyle said 'does that mean I got a chance with you' and she replied 'I said we mate with other races, not with other racers'!" The orca began to laugh a huge belly laugh while the other two looked at him and blinked in disbelief. The orca eventually stopped and muttered in embarrassment. "You had to be there."
"Seriously, my sister? Human, was sitting right here, rod up her ass so huge it could be used as a giant's toothpick?" John asked in utter disbelief, his sister making a joke, even a bad one, that wasn't entirely self serving or derisive was something new. Hearing that she could be nice, help others and be friendly, it was just too much to believe.
"Yes, I like her, she's nice." The orca concluded frowning slightly. "Why, do you have a problem with that?"
"No, it's just my sister's a bitch. I mean the first time I saw her in ten years and she; came to my home insulted me, my husband, my house guest and told me she would beat me to the championship, then left." John replied as he signalled the bartender for a drink.
"Oh, have you asked her why she did that?" Thelen asked as he took a swig from his drink, the conversation was making him feel uncomfortable. However, he liked both the humans and was never someone who could let an insult to a friend, even a new friend, go unchallenged.
"No, she's always been a bitch to me!" The human replied a little louder and angrier than even he realised he was. He felt the need to justify his issues further and so added. "Hell, she abandoned me when I was ten and my parents died. She could have looked after me but instead I was pushed into care while she swanned off to sign up for the navy. Leaving me to bounce through eight different foster families before I was old enough to follow her!"
The entire bar was looking at the enraged human as he his speech had gone on he had gotten louder and louder until he was practically shouting at the embarrassed orca. Thelen was smart enough to know that he had touched some deep raw nerves inside his friend and the best thing he could do now was shut up.
It was Toby who broke the silence reaching out he took the human's hand. "Come on sweety, let's go." John had just enough sense of mind left to let the rabbit lead him away.
When the rabbit got the human into one of the smaller private officers he turned and hugged him tightly. Tears had begun to flow as he was led out of the bar as the rabbit hugged him, John found himself breaking down completely. He cried for a few minutes and then pulled himself together enough to talk.
"I thought I was over all this crap, you know? I just... didn't expect it to turn up on my doorstep." He said feeling more than a little embarrassed.
"That's ok, I love you and I'm here for you, if you want to talk." Toby replied soothingly, his paws rubbing the human's shoulders and upper back lightly.
John wiped his eyes clean and sighed. "I used to idolise her, you know? She was my big sister and she looked out for me. I followed her everywhere, the guys on the base used to say I was her wingman. I did everything she did, I really loved her. Then my parents died and she just... left me. My world fell apart and my big sister just ran away and left me all alone." The tears began to flow again. "I didn't know what I'd done wrong, she didn't reply to my comm messages. I was so lost, I acted out pretty bad. No foster family could take me for long. It was easier you know, reject them before they reject me since I was obviously broken."
The rabbit leaned close holding the human and nuzzling his neck lovingly, just letting him talk. "I remember the first time we met afterwards. We were both in the navy, I expected her to... I don't know apologise, beg my forgiveness or something. Instead she barely acknowledged me, just called me dear brother and insulted my flight skills, then swanned off with her friends. I hated her for that, I think I still hate her for what she did."
"Not as much as she hated herself." Toby and John's head's snapped round to the far corner of the room where Emma was suddenly standing adjusting her clothes. "What did you expect me to say? Sorry, for leaving you? I was sixteen, my parents were dead and yes I ran away. It was hard for me too, I wasn't ready to be a parent, I was still a child! It doesn't mean I didn't feel like shit about it, it doesn't mean that I didn't think about you." For the first time since his parents had died John could hear emotion in his sister's voice, it was trembling and higher. In the poor light he couldn't tell but she might have been crying too.
There was a slight shuffling from behind the desk and a shadowy figure got up and snuck around to the door. Kyle gave a nod to Toby who was staring open mouthed in shock. Then reached passed him, opened the door and grabbing the rabbit by the arm he dragged him out. "Shit, that was awkward." The tiger took a deep breath as he reached down to tuck his cock away and fasten up his pants. "Seriously dude, next time check the room first!"
Toby couldn't respond his mind was too jammed with mixed emotions as the tiger patted him on the shoulder. "I think those two need some time to talk wanna grab a beer or something?"
The talk John had with his sister, didn't solve all problems or hurt feelings. It certainly didn't bring them instantly into a deep and meaningful brother and sister relationship. However, he got to tell her his feelings and understand hers. He did learn a lot about her that he never knew. How scared she had been when their parents died, how guilty she had felt. It was just possible now that someday they may actually have a decent relationship.
He also found out she wasn't nearly as xenophobic as she let on to him. She actually had just finished a long term relationship with a husky canos called Scott. Kyle was fun and with her military career over she wanted to have some fun. That was actually why she came to join the races. She hadn't known he was here until after she signed a five year contract.
She had gone to his house that day to say hello and try to start to build a bridge. However, her defences had been up and she hadn't been able to do anything but make the rift wider. It was weird and there was still a lot of hurt between them, but for the first time, since his parents died, John could see his sister as a person.
Twenty and Corin were messaging each other constantly through Toby's account and things seemed to be going really well between the two of them. They made plans for what they could do during their one afternoon a week they could hide together. John had agreed to hang around in the spaceport for five or six hours after each race to give the two time together.
Things went very smoothly for the next few weeks. Then the news vids announced that the Dragos Imperium had requested peace talks. The day after Mr Fulmer turned up at John's house to talk to them both in person. He said that the mystery racer angle wasn't really selling and with the peace process underway he wanted to announce that Twenty was the racer and start making profit off having a two alien racing team again.
Twenty was delighted to hear that he would no longer have to hide in the flight suit. He agreed to speak and then he insisted that they should do it immediately, not wait for peace to be declared. John was a little shocked by how insistent the dragos was that he needed to do the press conference so soon. However, he assumed that Twenty wanted to be out of the damn silly flight outfit and be able to spend more time with Corin. So he said nothing about it when the date was set for a press conference the next day.
The rest of that day the dragos locked himself in his room and was constantly messaging with Corin. Toby commented how sweet he thought it was and John couldn't help but agree.
The press conference wasn't that well attended a testament to how unpopular the idea had been. However, there was a couple of news channels and a handful of reporters present, enough that hopefully the surprise reveal of the dragos would be a reasonable splash in the news.
Mr Fulmer gave a rather long winded and very lame speech and then Twenty came out in full flight gear still with helmet on and then as Mr Fulmer gave the signal he pulled his helmet off. Watching in the wings, John had to admit there was quite a bit of a shock reaction and certainly a lot of questions were being shouted out.
Twenty reached out and grabbed the mic, he turned and whispered a confusing apology to Mr Fulmer. Then he turned and began to speak to the press. "Please, Twenty will answer questions after. First he must speak of his people. You all have been at war with dragos for long time. Many have died, many are injured, Twenty is sorry. With peace so near Twenty understands to you this is a time to rejoice, but he cannot."
The dragos paused for a moment trying to remember what he was going to say. "Twenty was hatched a slave, he was raised without care, mercy, hope or love." John stared wide eyed his ears finding it hard to listen, he could see Mr Fulmer looking aghast beside the lizard. "Twenty was beaten, worked to near death, sold, bought, raped and many other things before he escape. Twenty was lucky, he was able to escape, to find this place where he has friends, where he could learn of good things like hope and love."
The entire room was so silent as Twenty turned the page on his notes that John was sure he could hear Mr Fulmer breathing heavily as he panicked. Then Twenty continued. "For slaves like Twenty in the Imperium there are no rights, no hope. We toil and we die, no one morns us, no one protects us and no one cares. Worse still for dragos children hatched below the minimum weight, their necks are snapped and they are thrown aside. Hatched not worthy to live! No chance given, no tears for their tiny bodies."
Twenty took a sip of water his voice had started to tremble and he had tears on his cheeks. "These helpless being have no voice. So as you consider peace I ask you to fight on. To bring hope and justice to those who have none. To teach dragos of mercy, hope and love. To protect the defenceless. To save those who cannot save themselves. Please, Twenty begs you, fight on."
Pausing to take a deep breath the dragos continued. "If not for dragos fight on for yourselves. People who snap the necks of children, who keep slaves, these are not people who will stay at peace. The Imperium will come back again, stronger, better prepared. Fight on, because next time you might not win. Twenty has said all he wanted, questions?"
A heartbeat later every journalist in the room was shouting, a thousand different questions. Twenty was as good as his word sitting patiently and answering questions for hours. Eventually he was ushered out by security and into a small dressing room where John and Mr Fulmer waited for him.
The reptile gave a conciliatory look at the tubby rabbit. "Twenty understand if you fire him. He had to speak while he could."
The rabbit shock his head. "No, I'm not going to fire you. I can't say I'm happy to be ambushed like that but I understand you spoke from the heart. I ain't so callous that I could fire someone for trying to protect the innocent. Besides, you turned the rather damp squib of a media event into a total circus. I got security brining a car around to get you out, half the media people in the planet are heading here right now. I have arranged someplace secure and secret for you John, Toby and Corin was it?" The human and the dragos both gasped as neither had mentioned a thing about Twenty's relationship with the engineer. "I ain't blind or stupid boys. Anyway next few days we have someplace safe and private. However, I assume you would be willing to do some interviews about that little speech you just gave?"
"Yes Mr Fulmer, thank you." The dragos replied with a bow, as the rabbit left he collapsed into a chair, emotionally and physically drained.
John sat down next to him. "I, use to hate you, dragos that is. Dragos killed lots of my friends, tortured a good few of them too. Then I got to know you and suddenly I don't hate dragos anymore. I just want to help them. What I'm trying to say is... you've really fucked me up, and I was already severely fucked up."
They both burst out in nervous laughter at the human's rather poor joke. As it died down Twenty asked the question that was burning bright in his brain. "Will they listen?"
"I honestly don't know, I hope so." John replied honestly. The two were swept away shortly afterwards. They were secreted away someplace private and actually very nice. Toby and Corin were both there before them and the two couples had a few pleasant days together. Twenty gave a half dozen interviews a day all remotely. However, it looked like his message had gotten out. The humans who already had a long history with the dragos were first to call for a continuation of the war. The polar and the canines followed shortly afterwards. The rabbits were the last to agree, however in the end they too rejected the dragos calls for peace.
Two months later a combined alliance fleet pushed into dragos space for the first time. The war was far from over, however, as they pushed further into dragos territory and thousands of slaves were liberated the stories began to flow and it wasn't long before the true plight of slaves in the Dragos Imperium was known. The alliance forces were galvanised against their enemy and the dragos forces began to crumble.
