Chapter 46
With it being their final day in the forest, Aura and Prince began to pack their things shortly after having their breakfast. Dismantling their tent and dousing the glowing embers of their campfire with water, Aura double checked they weren't forgetting anything before they left, then triple checking again just to be extra sure nothing was being left behind.
"Alright, I think we're ready to head back now. Fire's put out, all our stuff is back in our bags, no litter lying around. All good." Hoisting his bag onto his shoulders and glancing at his phone for the time, Aura smirked to himself. "Packed and ready in only twenty minutes. And plenty of time to spare, too."
Prince folded one of his ears, never hearing this idiom before but generally grasping the meaning either way. "So what does that mean, Master Aura?"
"Means we don't have to rush and can take some time to admire to forest on our way back to the gate." As they were just about to leave the clearing behind, the bushes beside the trail shook wildly. Aura and Prince froze and Aura wasted no time summoning his blade in case whatever it was was planning to fight; however, to their surprise, the bushes parted as three small Shroomish scurried out with a familiar Breloom following closely behind them. Not wanting to give the wrong idea, and now aware there was no danger, Aura hastily dismissed his weapon and smiled kindly at the Pokemon.
"Oh! Sorry if we startled you." Breloom apologized. At least she wasn't scared off from him holding his sword to attack. Breloom herded her babies towards the duo, who both crouched down to speak closer to eye level.
"Don't worry about that. I'm just wondering why you're here?"
Breloom crossed her claws and bowed with a polite smile of gratitude. "I came to thank you once again for saving mine and my children's lives yesterday. My mate died while foraging for food before I laid our eggs, so I have trouble protecting myself and my children whenever someone attacks." She shyly clicked her claws together. "Of course I just barely managed to fend them off thanks to the little bit of training my mate would help me with before I was pregnant." Breloom grew silent for a moment, Aura thought she may be about to cry, but she just sighed and looked up with an oddly cheerful smile. "Sorry for talking about myself so much, I'm sure you're not that interested in my whole life story."
Aura shook his head, "No need to apologize for that. I know what it's like to go on a tangent when talking about certain things. I get worried they're tired of listening to me pretty frequently."
She kind of chuckled before resuming, "The reason I came to find you is to thank you again. What you did, I will take it to heart while raising my young. And although they might be too young to remember what happened like I do, I'll make sure they know what you did and never forget you."
Aura smiled warmly at Breloom and responded with a firm nod, "Well I'm glad we were able to help you, Breloom. And I'm flattered you think of us to highly for what we did, but there's no reason to treat me as some kind of saint." Looking down as one of the Shroomish waddled closer, Aura reached out and rubbed it's head. "We won't always be here to protect you, but I'm just glad we were able to save you this time around. Although, I can tell you that there is a ranger who watches over this area nearby. Perhaps you can stay near their lodge until you're ready to head out again."
Breloom tilted her head, "A ranger?" She asked. Aura quickly explained they were a human who's purpose was to protect the ecosystem and the Pokemon living there, shortly giving her details of what to look for and what direction to go based on his map. "Thank you, human." Hearing this, Aura suddenly remembered.
"I completely forgot, we've never actually introduced ourselves. My name is Aura, Aura Borealis. And this is my partner, Prince." Breloom looked at the Lucario as he sat cross legged with two of the Shroomish resting on his lap.
Breloom crossed her claws and bowed, "Well, thank you again Aura. Perhaps one day we may see each other again. I wish you the best of luck and a safe trip back to the city."
Prince and Aura nodded, "Likewise, we hope you and your young stay safe as well." The jackal responded.
"Maybe we'll come back some day if we get the chance." Aura told her with a light shrug. "Thanks for coming to see us, but we should be going now, our friend is expecting us to return in a few hours."
Breloom flinched and rubbed the back of her head, "Of course, as a trainer I'm sure you have lots to do and such." She clicked her claws and the Shroomish all looked to their mother, "Come along you three, we should head back to the den now and let them be on their way."
The Shroomish seemed a bit reluctant at first, but all three quickly returned to their mother's side and followed her back into the brush, a final wave of farewell from Breloom before the family disappeared from sight. Aura and Prince standing and resuming their trek down to meet Gurkinn and finally return to the city where their own family resided.
It took them far less time to traverse the mile long walk back to the gate than it did hiking from the gate to the campsite, the path back being far less overgrown certainly helping, even though they did accidentally take a wrong turn and ended up a quarter of a mile west along the chain link fence, they still managed to get there in less than an hour when it took almost three to find the camp in the first place.
Coincidentally, as they approached the gate they could see Gurkinn arriving just then as well. "Looks like we made it with perfect timing." Aura chuckled.
Gurkinn smirked and pulled the key from his pocket, "Looks like it. How was your training?" He inquired as he unlocked the padlock and removed the chain holding the gate securely shut.
The high pitched creak of the gate made Prince wince and fold his ears as they walked through and shut it again, "It was pretty well all things considered. Prince even managed to learn Fire Punch!" Aura excitedly informed the elder.
Gurkinn turned and had a look of shock on his face, "Fire Punch you say?" Aura nodded, "That's quite impressive. Despite their ability to learn Thunder and Ice Punch, I've never heard of Lucario using Fire Punch before."
Aura couldn't think of what to say, so he just shrugged his shoulders and they kept walking, "Neither have I, but it would make sense they could probably use it considering they can use Blaze Kick sometimes."
The Lucario in question looked at his paw, "If I may interject, I had actually just used the same method for Blaze Kick to use Fire Punch; instead of flowing the energy towards my legs, I altered it's course to my paws like Force Palm or Aura Sphere. It was not too difficult to say the least."
Rubbing his chin with a hum, Gurkinn momentarily thought this over, "Honestly in all my years I never thought of that, granted you don't find Lucario who know Blaze Kick too often, but to think it's as simple as rerouting the energy flow like that."
Aura smiled about this, not only was his partner possibly the first ever Lucario to learn Fire Punch, but this had somehow stumped such a wise and experienced person such as the Mega Evolution Guru himself; he couldn't help but find this at least somewhat endearing.
With a shake of his head and a kind smile returning to his face, Gurkinn looked back at them before returning his gaze forward, "No matter, what we should really be focused on is getting you two back home before anything else. I'm sure you'd both like to take a break after this and you're friends and family are waiting for you." They finally reached the jeep parked in the small gravel lot and hopped inside.
"Thanks again for all your help, Gurkinn." Aura said as they started off down the road, receiving a nod from the driver as he leaned back in his seat. Aura looked towards the city and smiled, "Here I come, Diamond." He muttered to himself.
Lounging inside the Pokemon Center's lobby, an eager Delphox sat on her knees and gazed out the front window in desperation to hopefully see her beloved trainer soon. Looking down the road towards the forested mountains, Diamond gasped in excitement as she saw a jeep driving closer, and closer, and closer. She nearly jumped from the couch happily, but her ears drooped and her tail flopped down as the jeep simply drove past with only a single unfamiliar man inside.
She let out a sigh and turned around, resting her head in her paws and her elbows atop her knees. "It feels like we've been waiting hours for them." She said coldly.
Stan tilt his head and looked at a nearby clock, taking a moment to remember how to read the time, he then looked back to Diamond and shrugged, "We've only been here about twenty minutes though?" She didn't hear him.
Her eyes widened and she gripped the sides of her head, "What if they got hurt? Or what if they got lost and couldn't find there way back? Or what if-"
"Diamond!" Tia snapped. The fox looked at her friend who had a stern expression that quickly softened to a shy and apologetic glance. "Sorry for snapping, but you need to stop stressing yourself out over this. Aura and Prince will be here soon."
"But-"
Stan stepped up beside Tia and repeated her stern gaze with his own, yet his was far less intimidating as he wasn't one to actually act strict towards anyone, only doing so on rare occasions when others are feeling down.
"Tia's right though, Diamond." She looked up at Lee, who stood with his arms crossed and his back against the wall like he wanted to seem cooler by some standard. He kicked off the wall and looked at her seriously, "Being in a relationship myself, I can understand why you're worried about him, but my experience as a medical Pokemon can say that over stressing yourself like this can cause problems in the egg's development."
Diamond glanced at her belly and placed her paw over the rounded bulge that had grown significantly larger over the past week. "I'm trying not to worry, but I'm not used to Aura being gone so long, especially now that we'll be raising a kit together." She sighed deeply and covered her eyes, "I just wish he would be a bit more careful and try to keep himself from harm more. I know his responsibilities as the grand Guardian are extremely important, but…"
"But you know it's also very dangerous." Darlene added. "Hon, I understand your worry, I'm worried about him just as well, but it helps to know that Arceus is constantly looking out for his safety, and so long as she's able to, she wouldn't let anything bad happen to him or any of you." The troubled vixen looked at Darlene upon feeling her hand rest on her shoulder.
A smile found its way on to Diamond's muzzle and she leaned against Darlene's shoulder, receiving a warm, consoling embrace from the woman. "Thank you. That does make me feel a bit better."
"I think I can tell you something that would help even more!" Lilly happily squeaked. They looked at the rabbit who spun around with a large smile, she opened her mouth to speak when the electronic sound of the front doors sliding open interrupted her. They all looked over by instinct despite the assumption it was probably just a random stranger, but this was quickly disproven as none other than Aura and Prince walked through the entrance with their bags over their shoulders.
Diamond's ears and tail shot up in joy. She stood up as quick as she could, with some help from Darlene and Alice, and hurried towards her mate. "Aura!" She cried.
Recognizing that voice, Aura looked over to see his pregnant mate rushing over to him. With a glint of happiness in his eye he dropped his bag and approached Diamond, allowing her to run into his outstretched arms and bury her face in his chest while he let his chin rest between her ears. "I'm guess you were worried about me again?" He felt her nodding against his chest. "You've been doing alright without me? Any issues with our...you know." Diamond giggled while Aura just put on a fake scowl, though he couldn't hold it long as he soon began chuckling as well, "It's still strange knowing that I'm going to be a dad, especially at my age no less." He slid his hand between her ears and rubbed her fur softly.
"I guess seventeen is still pretty young for humans." Diamond remembered, "And no, I've been doing okay here with everyone else… but," Diamond tightened her grasp on Aura's shirt and subconsciously took in his scent with a sigh of relief, "It's feels so much better to have you back, Aura." The two continued to hold one another in each other's arms.
"So, how did the training go?" Aura looked up as the others walked over to greet him, Lilly rocking on her heels with a cheery smile.
He returned the happy expression and shrugged a bit, "It went all right. Prince and I had fought off a swarm of Ariados, took down a raging Salamence to save a Breloom and her family, and Prince even learned a new move." Aura chuckled, "You know, the usual stuff."
Diamond pushed out a groan and rolled her eyes, pushing away to look into his eyes, "Do you really need to joke about that stuff?" Aura blinked in shock from Diamond's sudden flip of emotion from joyful to annoyed. His smile quickly faded to a frown of concern. "I was worried something might happen to you out there, even if you can protect yourself, what if something bad happened to you?!"
"Diamond, I'm-"
"Sorry." Diamond cut him off. "I think I'm just having mood swings as Alice told me, I didn't mean to snap. I just worry about you so much." Her eyes began to water, "I don't want to lose you, especially now that we're having a kit together."
Aura pulled her against him to stop her from continuing on with her emotional ranting, "I'm sorry for taking the danger so lightly. You are right that it's nothing to really joke about and I should have known how you'd feel about it." He let go of her and grabbed his bag, then pulling her against his side with his arm wrapped around her shoulders, causing a slight blush to appear on Diamond's cheeks, "Let's head back up to the room now and have some lunch. I wanna hear about what you all did this weekend." He told her, pressing his cheek to hers in a loving manner before leading them all back to the suite. Diamond remained silent for the whole walk back to the suite, although upon entering, she quickly looked to Aura and then to the kitchen.
"I'll make us all some lunch!" Diamond adamantly proclaimed as she started towards the kitchen, grabbing her apron off it's hook by the fridge and quickly tying it around her waist. "You all rest for a while and I'll get started."
Aura looked at everyone else then back to Diamond as she took out a pot and some pans from the cupboard. "You sure, Diamond? I could give you a hand if you need it."
Diamond shook her head and set the pot in the sink, "I'm sure, Aura. You've been training out in the forest all weekend, so you deserve to have a break. Besides," she moved the now full pot of water to the stove and turned it on, "I want to show you what I learned from Alice and Darlene." Seeing Diamond turn around with a big smile on her face whilst holding a ladle in one paw and a spatula in the other, Aura quietly laughed under his breath from how adorable he found his mate to be.
"Well, I guess if you insist. I'm going to go take a shower and change into some cleaner clothes." He gave a side glance towards Prince and looked to the main bathroom, "You wanna take this bathroom and I'll take the one in my room?"
Prince nodded, "Of course, I should be able to manage the shower on my own this time." Without another word, the two retired to their respectful bathrooms to properly clean up. Meanwhile, Alice walked over to the kitchen just as Diamond was tying back the fur in her ears with a few hair ties.
"Are you positive you don't want my help with cooking?" She rubbed the back of her head whilst Diamond started to wash her paws, "You've gotten better at cooking but there's still a lot more to learn yet, I just want to make sure you don't accidentally hurt yourself in the process."
"Thank you, but I want to do this myself." She looked at the towel in her paws for a moment, "If I'm going to be a good mate, and mother, I should know how to do this kind of stuff; especially since Aura is already so busy with his duties, I want him to not have to worry about cooking and cleaning." Diamond hung the towel over the stove's handle and took a gander in the fridge to see what they had, only knowing a few recipes from both Alice and Darlene and from watching a few cooking shows. "I want to do this myself so I can show Aura what I learned and that I can be independent."
"I have an idea!" Both of them looked over the counter to see Lilly poking her head out with her paw raised and a smile on her face. "Why doesn't Alice just supervise? Diamond's been learning a lot so there shouldn't be any problems."
"Sorry to cut in like this," Kibbs said as she walked over from the couch, "but I couldn't help but overhear most of the conversation, having more sensitive hearing and such, and I wanted to mention that sure Diamond may have had trouble cooking in the past, but since she began learning, the worst that happened was a bit of burned food and a visit from concerned maintenance staff after the smoke alarm went off."
Diamond folded her ears back shyly. "I didn't even know what those things were, or how loud they could be. I still feel kind of bad for all the smoke though." She told them while rubbing her arm.
Alice waved her hand and scoffed, "Don't worry about that, it was just some smoke and nothing else, all we had to do was open a few windows and wait in the lobby for a bit. It's in the past either way." Diamond shrugged, "But considering you haven't made many mistakes lately, even with my help, I guess just supervising you would suffice, just in case you do need a hand."
A nod from Diamond showed her appreciation for the chance to show what she is capable of doing before returning to the refrigerator for ingredients, meanwhile Kibbs returned to Darlene's side, and Lilly made the decision to stay and observe her friend cook.
Diamond made quick work with getting out multiple vegetables from the fridge and a cutting board from the cupboard. She started to also remove a package of meat from the freezer, but a glance toward Lilly made her stop and return the meat to it's frozen containment, instead grabbing another package of meat and closing the door.
Lilly looked at her confused for a moment, why put one package of meat back in the freezer only to take another out anyways. Despite her curiosity, Lilly remained silent and just watched the Delphox remove the light red paper from the meat and set the individual slices on a plate to thaw whilst preparing the rest of the food.
Soon enough ten minutes had passed and Aura returned from his shower with a fresh, dull green t-shirt and some loose fitting shorts covering his still slightly damp skin. His hair glistened from the water remaining in it and the quiet pattering of his bare feet against the floor was just loud enough to catch Diamond's attention.
"Sorry I took so long in there," he said while poking his finger in his ear to clear out the water, "guess I had more dirt and sweat on my than I thought." He made a direct line towards Diamond and sniffed the air, "Whatever you're making smells pretty nice." He then planted a quick kiss on her cheek while Diamond stirred the contents of the pot. Taking a quick second to look at his arms, Aura turned his wrist to see one of the scabs he had acquired while training, this only being a small one of at least a dozen more bruises, scrapes, and cuts he sustained. None of these injuries were any more severe than a simple cut or skinned knee, but he knew how Diamond could get when it came to his well being. Of course, he didn't want Diamond to worry about them, so he was more than willing to bring them up now and save the trouble.
Just about to explain his minor wounds to avoid any issues they may cause, the main bathroom door opened with a very damp Lucario slowly walking out with much of his fur still dripping and a towel crudely wrapped around his waist. "Master Aura? Might I ask for your assistance for a moment?"
Aura wanted to groan a bit, but held his breath and looked to his canine friend, "Sure, I guess, what do you need?"
A few glances towards his wet body made him hesitate, moderately embarrassed from the inquiry he was about to bring up. "My apologies if this sounds a bit awkward, but could you help me fix and properly dry my fur? The hot water and steam are making it more difficult to do and I would rather not drag water throughout the suite."
Sighing through his nose, Aura walked to his partner and saw just how much water held on to his fur. "Yeesh, honestly I'd rather not have puddles everywhere either. I guess just wait for me in my bedroom and I'll see if Alice or my mom have a hair dryer I can borrow."
"Actually, you can just use mine if you need one." Diamond said from across the room.
Aura turned and stared at her, "When did you get a hair dryer? I couldn't see one in our bathroom when I went for my shower?"
She poked her chin, "That would probably be because I put it in my bag to keep it from getting wet and breaking, at least that's what Alice said could happen."
Alice shrugged, "Never seen it happen to be fair, but I do the same just in case it could." She clarified.
"Anyway, I picked it up when we went to the mall since I had trouble drying my fur too after a hot shower. And I think Stan's slipped on my puddles enough times already." This made both Diamond and Tia let out a quiet snicker as Stan grumbled with his head atop his paws. She apologized again to the feline.
Aura shook his head, "Well, we'll be right back then. Come on Prince." The two headed to the bedroom and Aura absentmindedly shut the door.
"Again, I apologize if this is uncomfortable at all, Master Aura." Prince said as he removed the towel and started drying off more while his trainer went to Diamond's side of the bed. He crouched down and started digging through the pink bag of Diamond's grooming supplies, pausing to read the labels of a few new bottles she must have gotten while he was gone. "Cinnamon scented Pokemon conditioner? Interesting… Wonder if she got it for the smell, or because it has a Fennekin and a Vulpix on the label." He chuckled and put it back in it's place before noticing two black cords poking out, digging both out to find the black hair dryer and a hair straightener. He put back the straightener and returned to Prince with the hair dryer. "Got it. So I guess just stand here by the outlet and I'll start drying you off."
Responding with a quick nod, Prince followed directions and stood next to Aura as he plugged in the device and turned it on. Immediately Prince could feel the hot air blowing against the back of his head paired with the very loud whirring of the fan inside. His ears rapidly twitched from the hot air being forced against them to the point he just decided to keep them folded back until Aura began lowering the blow dryer to his back. It took a while to completely dry all of the Pokemon's fur, the two sharing a slightly awkward moment when it came to Prince's groin, both deciding to just skip this area as the Lucario insisted he could just dry it with his towel, but eventually they finished up with the blow dryer and Aura allowed Prince to take an extra hairbrush into the bathroom to smooth out his fur, Aura and Prince finally returning to the main room of the suite to find supper was nearly ready.
With not much else to do while they wait, Prince and Aura joined the others on the couch to watch whatever was playing on the TV, seeing it was some kind of comedy show without many Pokemon (which was actually rather uncommon to see nowadays), but everyone seemed to be enjoying it nonetheless as Stan occasionally burst into fits of laughter at many of the jokes, even Tia found herself snorting by accident from trying to contain her laughter.
"It's all ready everyone!" Diamond announced. "I hope you all enjoy it."
"Whew! It feels so good to have a proper meal after all that training." Aura exclaimed, patting his satisfied stomach.
Diamond blushed, "I hope you all liked it."
"It was delicious!" Lilly chirped, licking her bowl clean.
Darlene laughed and pet the rabbit between her ears, "You really are a cheery one. Reminds me of a normal child in a way."
Lilly looked at her and puffed out her cheeks, "I'm not that young." She pouted.
"Sorry. Never said you were, but I've seen you training and it's amazing someone as adorable as you packs that much power." She sipped her tea and smiled. This confused the young rabbit Pokemon more than anything, though knowing Darlene it must have been a compliment. Clinking dishes drew Lilly's attention to Diamond standing up and stacking the plates and bowls from supper. "Whoa there, what do you think you're doing?" Darlene suddenly said.
Diamond looked at her and furrowed her brow, "I'm cleaning up the dishes?"
Darlene shook her head, "No you're not. You took the time to cook us this lovely meal, so you deserve to relax now." She stood up began clearing the table, "I'll deal with the dishes, you just relax and spend time with Aura, you haven't seen him for three days and barely spoke to him since he got back."
Diamond recoiled and looked away, feeling slightly ashamed of herself for ignoring her mate. "I mean, I wanted to show him what I learned. That's all."
"You don't need to prove anything to me, Diamond."
"Huh?" She looked at Aura who had his usual smile plastered on his face.
"I don't know what you were intending to prove to me by cooking supper other than giving me more reasons to love being with you, but no matter what I'll be proud of you for just being you. Not to mention putting up with me all the time, hehe." Diamond smirked and lightly pushed against his shoulder. "Besides, I've been missing the feeling of you beside me when I fall asleep. Sorta became like a blanket of comfort for me over the months just to feel your warmth against me." He held her paw tightly causing Diamond to flush bright red in the face. "Honestly, I wouldn't mind just spending some quiet time with you in bed. I actually wanna tell you a few things that happened up in the forest."
"Well if that's the case, why not call it an early night." Kibbs suggested, "Even if it's only eight in the evening, I'm sure Aura and Prince could go with sleeping on proper beds, or I guess chairs in Prince's case." She noted, looking at the jackal whom has taken to sleeping on the plush chair in the living area. "Meanwhile the rest of us could just sit and maybe watch a movie before we go to bed ourselves."
Aura loudly yawned, "If Diamond is fine with coming to bed early then I'm okay with that, but it's fine if she wants to stay up a bit longer." He paused and looked to the empty room Dan was staying in before he returned to Lumios, "And maybe Prince could sleep in a bed after all, maybe this would be a good chance for not only him, but Tia, Stan, and Lilly to actually sleep on a proper bed. Dan's old bed should be able to fit all four of them if need be, granted if they would be fine sharing a bed anyway."
Lilly raised her paw, "I wouldn't mind sleeping in a bed. Even if it is with a boy, we all slept on the couch together so it's not much different." This comment actually made Prince awkwardly blush faintly, though he managed to steel his nerves before anyone could notice.
"And even if there is enough room, I'm fine sleeping out here anyway," Tia affirmed, the big windows let in a lot of moonlight so it feels more calm out here for me."
"Well I won't let you sleep out here alone, so I'll stay on the couch too." Stan offered with a large smile.
"Alright then, I'll see you all in the morning." Aura announced, yawning again as him and Diamond headed off to their room. "Night everyone."
A collective "Good night" rang through the room before Aura shut the door.
Aura turned to see Diamond sitting on the edge of the bed. "So what did you want to tell me about your training?" She asked.
"Well, don't take this the wrong way, Diamond, but I know how you can be sometimes." He pulled off his shirt and made one of the biggest scrapes he got from training visible, "I just don't want you to start having a panic attack from me being covered in scrapes and bruises. I already disinfected them and made sure they weren't serious, but I'd rather not just keep them from you."
Diamond stood and began examining his wounds, seeing many had scabbed over with no signs of infection. Diamond could feel worry begin to ball up in her chest, however it never took form as she felt happy Aura at least told her, finding they were tended to just as he had said. "I'm glad you at least admitted to getting hurt, but I can't believe I missed some of these when you got back." She said, referring to a larger scab on Aura's elbow.
"Hey now, it's alright. You were probably just to excited for me to be back that you overlooked them, unlike how I noticed you got your fur done differently while I was away." He slyly remarked with a grin.
The flush of bright red glowing through Diamond's white cheeks was beyond adorable Aura though, laughing from the situation he found them in. "D-do you like it?" Diamond suddenly asked.
She squeaked as Aura grabbed her hips and stared directly into her eyes, feeling his calm and warm breath against her snout as he responded with "Of course, Diamond. I love every part of you." He stood merely centimeters from her, holding her body close to his and gazing into her scarlet red eyes.
The two pushed together softly for a tender kiss, locking their lips and Aura poking his tongue against her opening, slipping past her lips and pressing into her sharp canid fangs, asking for entry into her warm maw. Oddly enough this had begun to feel completely natural to him, the sharp teeth of the vixen were nothing like that of a human, and the heat from her breath brought an inexplainable sense of comfort to him as their tongues fought for dominance while coated in a mixture of his and her saliva. The high temperature of her drool bathed his fleshy muscle, in his mind comparing it to drinking a warm beverage.
After finally pulling apart for air, Aura swished his tongue around and feigned a puzzled expression, "Do I taste cinnamon?" He asked.
"I picked up some cinnamon toothpaste yesterday. Hope you don't mind." Diamond confirmed.
Again he couldn't help but coyly smirk at her, making her wonder what could be going through his mind with an expression like that. She suddenly let out a squeak as she felt Aura purposely pinch the flesh of her hip, slowly gliding his hand towards her rump as he leaned into her ear, "You taste delicious." He teased, exhaling a little by her ear which instantly sent a shiver up the fox's spine.
A giddy smile wavered along Diamond's lips as she seemingly melted in her mate's grasp, a warmth making itself known between her thighs. Then she remembered, "I actually have something else to show you." Pulling away from him, she hurried to her bedside table and opened the drawer, pulling out a plastic bag and taking it into the bathroom, shutting the door without another word.
As he waited curiously for Diamond's surprise, Aura sat down on the bed and looked to the bathroom door. He had no clue how long it would take Diamond in there, so instead of doing nothing, he decided to begin undressing for bed (despite realizing he had become hard from their intimate teasing and foreplay).
Now sitting in just his boxers, Aura wondered what was taking Diamond so long. Just as he was considering going to see if she needed help, he stopped as the bathroom door creaked open. "Sorry I took so long, the hair-ties wouldn't stay in." She apologized, stepping out to reveal herself wearing her new bikini, its hot pink colour practically glowing against her yellow and white fur, a bit of the bottom piece visible from the wide gap in her dress going down her right leg. Swallowing, Diamond made an attempt to walk toward her mate with a seductive sway in her hips, eyeing him down with a hungering gaze of lust. She stopped in front of Aura while doing her best to hold onto her bold and lustful composure, teasingly rotating her body to give her lover a full view of her body. Despite still being covered, the feeling of Aura's gaze made her feel more exposed than ever. "Do you like it?" She asked in a shaky tone, still doing her best to hide her nervousness.
He looked all across her beautiful form, taking in every curve of his lover and admiring them thoroughly. "If I were to give my honest opinion, I think you look like the sexiest woman I've ever seen." He told her confidently.
Aura's words struck her deep, causing intense arousal to course through her every nerve, with Diamond already aroused greatly from the moment Aura returned, she could no longer hold her composure from the overflowing hormones and allowing her sexual juices to quickly soak her bikini bottom between her shivering thighs.
She couldn't hold out any longer. "I need you, Aura. I miss the feeling of you inside me." Her pupils dilated slightly as she slowly lowered to her knees, a faint purple glow coming from her eyes which forced Aura's knees apart to expose the large tent in his boxers. Diamond lowered her face near his crotch and inhaled deeply, "I miss your scent, and you taste." She muttered, for a brief moment her feral instincts taking over as Diamond tore his boxers apart effortlessly. She blinked, "S-sorry."
Aura held back a laugh, "It's fine. I have more than just one pair anyways."
She nodded and let the guilt instantly fade, her sexual desires overpowering her thoughts as she graciously pressed the tip of her muzzle against his shaft. He could feel her breaths as she took in his musk, urging more of her juices to generously flow from her sex, creating a puddle below her which only continued to grow. Diamond reached out and lightly gripped Aura's shaft, watching as a bead of clear liquid formed at it's tip. He groaned as Diamond's soft paws began to slowly stroke his member, Diamond's hot breath triggering him to twitch excitedly.
Losing patience, Diamond finally opened her grasp on Aura to allow her tongue to press against his base and slowly glide upward. She could feel every pulsing movement from his manhood as the steaming saliva from Diamond's canine tongue coated his erect member.
"Mmh, yeah. Your tongue feels so fucking good, Diamond." He moaned, Diamond only replying with a moan of her own and a muffled giggle as she refused to cease her rhythmic movements. Allowing her instincts to guide her, she lifted her left paw up to Aura's sack whilst her right massaged the base of his cock. A light and gentle squeeze made him grunt as he could feel the ever soft movements of her grip ever now and then tugging gently against his most sensitive organ.
Before long, Diamond had coaxed out plenty more of Aura's pre-cum and would lap it up at the end of each one of her long and tedious licks along his shaft. She couldn't remember the last time Aura had been this tense, if he ever was at all, but she fully understood that under normal circumstances she wouldn't hesitate to relieve this tension as soon as she could: this wasn't one of those circumstances.
With a mischievous and wicked grin, Diamond decided to have a little more fun than she'd normally be comfortable with, slowly pulling her tongue away every second just to tease her lover's sensitive penis. Upon reaching his pink tip for the third time with the end of her tongue, Diamond finally pulled away with drool spilling over her lips. Aura was about to ask why she stopped when he was interrupted by her suddenly thrusting her tongue against his sack, deeply breathing as she massaged his balls with her tongue and bathing them in hot saliva.
Aura's unit twitched as Diamond worked on giving tender licks and kisses to his lower privates, slowly working her snout under his hanging pouch and taking in the sweaty musk of her lover's scrotum, the scent making her even more horny than a bitch in heat. As this went on, Diamond had moved her left paw to grasp Aura's throbbing cock while her right paw slithered its way down into her panties and began pleasuring her sopping wet hole.
Starting to feel Aura's testicles pulsating against the base of her muzzle, Diamond proceeded to the next phase of her sexual teasing. Pulling back from Aura's crotch, Diamond quickly wrapped her lips around the entirety of his hairy sack and sucked hard, eliciting another moan from Aura as she coiled her tongue around him.
Rotating between each testicle, Diamond would suck one into her mouth at a time, with her teeth lightly grazing their surface and causing them to twitch from the sensation. Both lovers moaned from the sexual pleasure that arised, each moan from Diamond would send vibrations through Aura's genitals and make them retract ever so slightly. Without realizing it, Diamond's other paw had made its way to her modest bust and had slipped under her top, subconsciously massaging her breast and pinching her erect nipple. Eventually her toying had managed to coax out a few drops of milk from her swollen breasts, dampening the inside of her top with the creamy liquid.
Among the stray pubic hairs that brushed the insides of her maw, Diamond could feel Aura's pouch pulsing against her tongue and the skin retracting sporadically. He was nearing his limit. And so was she. With one final hard suck, Diamond yanked her head back quickly so Aura's sack roughly popped out from between her lips. This finally drove him to his first orgasm of the night whilst Diamond's followed immediately after.
Aura let out a long grunt as his erect member shot his hot spunk into the air. Diamond hungrily opened her mouth wide in hopes of catching her mate's cum, her own fluids drenching the hardwood floor below as Aura's white ropes splattered into her face. As the two rode out their climaxes together, Aura's seed landed all over Diamond while some still landed on his groin. Most of his cum caught Diamond in the face with her having to close one eye as one of the ropes lay across her eyelid, another portion falling onto Diamond's exposed boobs while even more had found its way into her ear fur and all across her muzzle and her outstretched tongue.
Aura sighed loudly and fell back against the bed. "Fuck… You were amazing, Diamond." He panted.
Diamond remained on her knees as she savoured the taste of Aura's seed, letting it coat the insides of her mouth before swallowing whatever was left, not even bothered from the strands of pubic hair that remained. She gasped as the thick liquids slugged down her throat. After this, Diamond wiped away the thick spunk from her eyes, not noticing Aura sit up as she licked it off her fingers, then scooping the lines of cum off her chest, staring at her fingers for a moment before moving the fabric away from her breasts and seductively rubbing Aura's semen over her nipples, matting the fur around them more than they already were from being drenched in her breast milk.
During all this, Aura silently watched with his cock rising once more. With cum covered lips, Diamond looked at her mate and stood, "I'm ready, Aura." She told him, sliding her panties off and stepping forward. As she crawled on to the bed over Aura, he matched her pace and backed up towards the headboard, finally stopping once his head rested on the pillow and finally allowing Diamond to straddle his pelvis. Her warm juices completely coated Aura's manhood as her lower lips glided over his shaft. This went on for a while until Diamond could feel Aura's dick throbbing and his hips weakly bucking upward, she finally stopped and lifted her hips, taking his member and positioning it so the tip lightly pressed into her opening.
Once she knew it wouldn't slip out, Diamond put both hands against Aura's scarred chest and bit her lip in anticipation as Aura's hands moved up to her hips. At last, Diamond let herself slide down until her crotch was pressed against Aura's, his entire length was buried deep within her warm crevice, her fluids mixed with her saliva still on his privates into a sticky concoction. Diamond let out a long breath she didn't know she was withholding, feeling a sense of relief from the familiar sense of fullness she felt inside her burning sex, a feeling she had been earning for for weeks, and it was amazing.
Diamond could feel every inch of his member within her, spreading her walls so delicately that it made her shiver. "Fuck yes~." She cooed as Aura's tip bumped against the tiny, fleshy wall of her cervix.
"Start whenever you're ready." Aura told her as he squeezed her thighs.
Nothing more was spoken as Diamond lifted herself up and could feel her walls return to their original position as Aura's meat left their grasp, at least until Diamond slammed down and stuffed her pussy with his cock, unleashing a loud moan of pleasure from her lips while a grunt escaped from Aura's.
Over and over, Diamond bounced on her lover's privates, every time their groins made contact an audible smack could be heard from the hot liquids between them. The base of her tail would twitch whenever his cock would collide with the deepest depths of her vagina, kissing her cervix each time she slammed down to his base. With his dick stuffed balls deep into her hot vixen pussy, his eyes would rotate between the view of her drooling sex slapping against him, to the luscious sight of her rapidly bouncing bosom, eventually his eyes locking to her milk filled tits as he became entranced by their movements, his eyes following her nipples as they trailed around in a circle.
Just the sounds of pleasure Diamond made aroused Aura even more, her cute and high pitched gasps and grunts paired with the adorable and sexy look of ecstasy on her face driving him closer to his second climax, though he held out in hopes of finishing alongside Diamond. Thankfully she looked well on her way as well.
"Aura," Diamond panted, her paws now groping her boobs and massaging them like before, "I want you to milk me." She didn't even wait for a reply from him, leaning forward with her paws now flat on the bed on either side of Aura, her small breasts hanging down and continuing to bounce as she resumed pumping her hips and feeding her lustful desires with Aura's manhood, her soft rear smacking into his sack with every forceful hump.
Completely enthralled in the sexually charged moment of passionate love-making, Aura complied with Diamond's demand and lifted his hands up to grasp her mounds of milk-filled flesh that hung above his face. Diamond released a loud squeak and moaned as she felt Aura's mouth latch on to her left nipple, suckling her teat until he began extracting the white, creamy nectar from within.
She could barely make a sound as her mouth hung wide open and her tongue lolled from her lips, Aura sensually licking her hardened pink nub as more drops of her breast milk squirted into his mouth. It tasted odd with the flavour being impossible to describe in that moment; however, for some bizarre reason, he found himself not minding the strange taste and couldn't bring himself to stop. Diamond bit her lip hard as she felt Aura's teeth clamp around her nipple, Diamond having to quickly take a lock of her ear fluff in her mouth to prevent screaming and risking the others walking in on them.
After what seemed like hours, Aura had begun to spasticly thrust up into Diamond, his hips meeting hers consistently as both of them were fastly nearing their ends. And after just a few more moments of euphoric bliss, Aura pulled Diamond down and locked his lips with hers as she unleashed muffled screams of pure ecstasy and pleasure into his lips. Both of them had immediately ceased their movements as Diamond could feel Aura's member throbbing inside her, with every spurt of his hot seed that entered her womb she tightened her grip on the bedsheets and flicked her tail wildly, eventually feeling his cum overflowing her sex and spilling out over his manhood.
Even after it was all over, neither of them moved, too exhausted and caught up in their sexual high to properly function until their hearts would finally settle and their minds were no longer lost in an infinite haze.
Diamond slowly pulled herself off of Aura, allowing even more of his cum to spill out and stream down her thighs as she flopped to her side. The warmth she felt inside was amazing.
For another few minutes there was nothing but silence between the two, their panting in unison as they laid there, staring into each others eyes. Aura finally laughed under his breath with Diamond twitching an ear and looking at her mate confused, "What's so funny?" She said between breaths.
He smiled at her and found his eyes momentarily trail down to her cum-soaked groin, "Nothing, it's just been too long since we've actually had sex. You were pretty adamant about it this time, too."
She giggled, looking down at the small pool of semen that had drifted from her hole onto the sheets. Diamond couldn't think of any words to respond with for a while, still too focused on how full she felt, and how much she missed it. "I guess, I just missed being this close to you. I know we still get to cuddle every night, and you grab my butt when you think I'm asleep," this made Aura blush and awkwardly avert his gaze, "but that doesn't mean I don't like it." She affirmed.
Another moment of silence fell between them as Diamond reached down and scooped up some of Aura's seed with two fingers, sniffing it before licking it off happily. "Be careful there, you don't want me to fill you up again, do you?" The crude joke caught Diamond off guard and forced her to unintentionally snort as she stifled her laughter. "Even full of my cum you're as cute as ever." He rolled onto his side and suddenly grabbed Diamond's butt, making her squeak and push his chest.
"Stop that." She chortled, Aura making another attempt to grope her only to be met with a joking smack to his hand. The two lovers laughed happily for a while, but eventually it came to a halt as Diamond loudly yawned.
"I guess having sex kinda wears you out, huh." She nodded and shimmied closer to Aura, neither of them caring about the mixture of sweat and spunk that coated the bedsheet. "We'll have to get up early to shower then, not to mention clean the sheets." Diamond remained silent as Aura yawned. "I love you, Diamond. Sweet dreams."
Diamond fluttered her eyes open for just long enough to repeat Aura's words, telling him she loved him too, before quickly blacking out into a deep slumber. Aura smiling all the while as he joined her and fell deep into a slumber of his own.
So, originally I didn't actually plan for them to have sex during this chapter, but I decided I may as well just to make sure I was still able to write lemons. Of course I probably still need some practice but hopefully this time it wasn't too bad.
Hopefully you all enjoyed this chapter and hope to see more in the future.
