Better Than This

Chapter 23

Consummation

Humphrey bounded across the night shaded area with Kate, they weren't searching for Age and Hayley, they were headed home. The Moonlight Howl wasn't over, in fact it had only begun and the only real thing they'd done so far was say they'd be each other's forever. Humphrey was tingling with delight and anticipation, as everyone wolf in the pack knew that monogamy and consummation were traditions in Jasper. The idea of mating with Kate made Humphrey nervous, for he wanted their first time to be special, and yet he was excited as he was about to make love to his lifelong love. Kate always liked Humphrey, but she never really loved him until after she saw how she had missed it after their trip to Idaho. She wanted Humphrey all to herself, and she figured that, since the night was still young, the Howl wasn't over just yet, and Age was nowhere to be found with his new mate, the two would pass the time and get their marital tradition out of the way, this way they could show physical passion afterwards as many times as they wanted without the strain of making a good first impression.

They walked into their new cave den that Humphrey discovered, and Kate was still taken aback by the beauty and size of their new home. The best part was that it was out of the way of all the other dens, good for…well, you know. Kate took a deep breath and turned to Humphrey, he meekly grinned, for he knew what was coming, he just didn't know how to prepare for it. "It's okay Humphrey, why don't we just be direct this first time, and then we can have all the fun we want later? After all, the first time is the most stressful, and I wouldn't want you feeling…burdened."

"I know Kate…I agree. We'll just…get straight to it, and then…well, we'll…uh…" He felt shy about saying it.

Kate giggled at his face and then walked past him, brushing her tail under his chin, trying to seduce him into thinking he had nothing to worry about. Kate's body began producing hormones for the occasion, and once Humphrey caught wind of them, his tongue fell out of his mouth and his eyes did their own thing. It wasn't long before Kate's scent trail made Humphrey move towards her, to which she only walked back further into the cave, in case someone should come by, they'd be able to stop and hide. With enough light to see, Kate stopped moving and lifted up her tail to get it out of Humphrey's way, and then she just stood her ground and stood tall, standing completely straight and waiting for Humphrey to mount her. As Humphrey stopped walking as well and took in a deep whiff of her, he somehow snapped back into reality and saw that Kate had exposed herself to him. Only one thought broke Humphrey of his former trance.

Not like this…I won't make love to Kate as a mindless, scent engulfed zombie. It was clearly enough to work, as he regained his focus and picked his front half up and grabbed Kate's hips, reaching his paws around and making the tips of his paws touch her inner thighs. He adjusted himself to assure he had a good grip and felt his manhood throb, showing that it was ready, but Humphrey kept asking himself if he was. "Kate…?" And she turned her head back to face him without moving her body. "Are we doing this to have pups?" The thought puzzled Kate, she hadn't thought about that, but when mating, you either go all the way or not at all. She thought it over for a moment, and arrived at the perfect answer.

"We're doing this because we love each other Humphrey…whatever happens…happens…"

And she turned back around and faced away from him. That answer was enough for Humphrey, for she was right. When mating, impregnation is always a possibility, but the conception would only lead to a greater thing than the sensation itself, family. Satisfied, and confident, Humphrey moved his paws on the ground closer to Kate's back feet so he could close the space between them, and once he began to lean on her back, still gripping her hips and inner thighs, he slowly moved forward, feeling around for the correct entrance. It didn't take long for the proper place to be found, and the sensitive tip Humphrey possessed sent a shockwave through him as he made contact. But he knew if he backed out now their first time would be ruined, so he closed his eyes and slowly pushed himself into his lover. Kate's womanhood took all of Humphrey in, as he was a perfect size, and it caused a long moan to be released from Kate's lungs. Once all the way in, Humphrey opened his eyes and saw the reality of the position he was in, and it was more than he could ever ask for. He was here, in a cave on a very romantic night, about to continue mating with his love, Kate. Humphrey knew his first push didn't hurt Kate at all, so he pulled out a little and pushed back in, doing so again, and again, and again. He made sure to push all the way in every time as to maximize the pleasure they felt, but he remembered the purpose for why they were doing this. Yes, they loved one another and would have a family someday, but both of them just wanted their first time to be out of the way.

Humphrey's grip on her grew increasingly tighter with every push into her, and Kate felt like her hips were in a vice. She was tempted to tell Humphrey to loosen up a bit, but she figured he was as nervous as she was, which is why he was holding her so close. Understanding and accepting, Kate kept her mouth closed and moved her back legs slightly as to start a rocking motion, promoting Humphrey to speed up with his pushes. The signal wasn't subtle, Kate wanted him to go faster and bit harder, Humphrey understood that; so he stopped pushing in and out and took himself mostly out of her and repositioned himself even closer, and then shoved himself back in with more force and speed, repeating this motion over and over again. Kate let out a cry on the first shove, but it wasn't a cry of pain, more so surprise and delight than anything else. Kate shut her eyes tightly and gritted her teeth together, also tightening her paws on the ground until they looked like furry balls on the ground. The dirt had been dug up a little by her claws from curling up her paws so tight, but Kate was doing her best to center the pleasure into one area, the one area that matter.

Over the next few minutes, Humphrey began to grow tried, his legs were beginning to shake and his grip was fading on her hips. It was true he had become calmer and more relax from constantly putting his manhood in and out of her, but this task was more physically demanding than he thought it would be, and his Omega body wasn't trained for endurance. Kate felt his member begin to twitch, and his crotch area shutter, it was a sign that he was growing restless, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong. She looked back at Humphrey without moving her body like she had done before, though it was hard as all her energy was being focused on standing up with Humphrey leaning on her like this, and she noticed his eyes looked compacted shut, and he was panting with his tongue hanging out. She also noticed some sweat on his nose and forehead, the answer was then clear to Kate, her Humphrey was exhausted.

"Humphrey…?" And her voice made the gray wolf open his eyes and look at her. "You're pushing yourself too hard, if we need to stop, we can." Kate didn't want to trade a stratifying first mating session with Humphrey for the male she was mating with herself pulling a muscle or passing out from fatigue.

"No…" His answer stunned Kate, she actually expect him to accept her offer. "I have to do this, if not for you, for myself. I know I'm not trained for this, but I still must finish what I started, I can't let my lack of physical fitness ruin our first time." The small, yet also brief conversation acted almost as a motivator, for suddenly, Humphrey felt a surge of energy flow through his body, and he started thrusting harder and faster than before, causing pre-leakage from himself and his mate.

Kate was forced to return her head to the way it had been, and now she was the one who was having trouble standing up. Humphrey was forcing himself back and forth with such strength and power than she felt like she was about collapse, and sure enough, she felt her back legs starting to give out, and her muscles begged her to give them a rest. Her front legs were shaking violently, and Humphrey couldn't see as he was too determined to finish what he started. Not a moment after Kate's lungs gave way, her front half fell to the ground while her rear remained in the air, being completely held up by Humphrey, who had just about reached his end. With all of his final thrusts solid and strong, he pulled her rear closer to his and completely drilled into her one finally time and it felt like his manhood had split in two. Humphrey held firm as he felt his seed drain out of him and make his love's womb swell from too much, but he couldn't think about it, the feeling was too extraordinary, and he fell to his side, still holding Kate's rear, and his manhood still inside her. Kate on the other paw was almost screaming with the new sensation being pumped into her body from the one she loved. Her mate had set out to give her a good first time, and without a doubt it was. Kate had been pulled up against Humphrey chest so her back was resting up against him; and with his member still emptying all his reproductive fluid, Humphrey laid there, and pulled Kate up next to him and wrapped his fore limb around her chest and pulled her close. Kate gasped and pulled in all the air she could as her legs has been released from Humphrey's grip and muscles rested. It was the same for Humphrey.

"Best…first time…ever…you're ama…zing Humphrey…" Kate said in-between breaths.

Humphrey felt as though he'd accomplished something even Alphas had trouble doing, and it was another good feeling sweeping through him. "I'm glad you…enjoyed it…I guess that means…we're finished…for now anyway…"

"For now…"

And Kate and Humphrey snuggled back into the position they were in, only Kate flipped over and took Humphrey into her arms while he did the same. Pulling each other close, and nuzzling noses while waiting for Humphrey to be able to pull himself out, they knew the night still wasn't over yet, and they both still had a whole lot of howling left in them, they'd just need a while to recover, then they'd be out back at Howling Rock, howling with their friends and family and awaited to see what would happen inside Kate. They needn't to say they love one another, as they already knew, and both were out of breath. There'd be a time for that, but for the moment, all they did was wait.

Only one chapter left…? Feels like only yesterday I started on this story, I'm going to miss it when it's all done and finalized. I guess all great things come to an end. I use a lot of euphemism if you didn't notice, that's because I like my lemons like I like my house, clean as possible but still satisfying and refreshing. Only the Moonlight Howl left, it's gonna be awesome!
