A DREAM OF FREEDOM LOST
Chapter 3: The Bonding
Inside the chamber...
They lay exhausted and breathing hard. T-Bone had disengaged from Feral to get some much needed rest.
Feral lay inert and unresponsive when T-Bone gently caressed the distressed tom a little while later. Sighing, he was at a loss at what to do now. His sense of smell told him this wasn't over yet as did Feral's still faintly glowing body and he dearly wished it was for Feral's sake.
He shook his head at that thought. He couldn't believe how quickly he had changed his feelings about the annoying Chief Enforcer. To have kept that much pain and grief so bottled up inside it was no wonder the Commander always seemed so tense and unhappy. It just wasn't healthy and Feral was now emotionally sick from its forced outpouring.
Sighing again, T-Bone began a soothing massage. He gently pushed the Sabren onto his belly and started rubbing and digging into taut muscles to loosen them. There was no response but he persevered.
By the time T-Bone had reached Feral's buttocks, the big tom shuddered and sighed.
"How are you doing big guy?" T-Bone asked quietly working his way down one of the powerful legs.
Feral turned his head a little to see the tiger tom, "Why are you doing this?"
"Because you are too tense and uncomfortable and I had nothing better to do." T-Bone said simply.
Feral blinked then turned back forward again unable to come up with a response.
"Just relax and let me finish your back then I'll have you roll over and I'll do your front." T-Bone told him. "Would you like some water before I continue."
"Yes, please!" He answered softly.
T-Bone padded across the room to the cleansing station and grabbed two bottles and paused to get a washcloth wet with warm water.
Returning to the bed, he gently washed Feral's face to the big tom's surprise then handed him a bottle of water. T-Bone drank his quickly and returned to his massage. Feral sipped his water while T-Bone gently worked on him.
Some minutes later he gently pushed at Feral to roll over. The Commander did so and stared at the ceiling, his distress still visible on his face.
"Hey, I'm sorry this is soo hard for you, Commander. You really should have talked to someone before it got to be so overwhelming." T-Bone said trying to be casual and get Feral to open up more.
"No one I trust enough to speak to." Feral said flatly.
"So you held it in and its now tearing you to ribbons. It shouldn't but it does bother me a lot to see you in this kind of pain and know there is nothing I can really do for you." T-Bone said honestly as he began massaging one of Feral's feet.
"Why should you care at all? You've always hated me!" Feral hissed still staring at the ceiling.
"Look!" T-Bone said stopping the massage and leaning over Feral so the tom had to look at him. "At this moment, I'm not your enemy. I'm your mate. As much as we both may hate that idea it's nonetheless true. I've been forced to accept it so I have to care about how you feel and try to do my best to help you." Finished, T-Bone lowered himself back at the big tom's feet once more and began to massage again.
Feral just lay there stunned at T-Bone's declaration. He never really knew T-Bone that well but he did know he was a decent kat and what he had said proved it. Feral swallowed a hard lump of more emotional pain. This was why he kept himself distant from others. It hurt too damn much.
T-Bone worked his way up Feral's torso avoiding his genitals for now. Feral had relaxed enough to be nearly asleep by the time the tabby had reached his chest. After doing each arm and each finger, he began a slow seduction. First by pinching each nipple gently and rolling them between his fingers. Feral sighed and twitched.
Next, he lowered his face to the Sabren's and licked his facial fur causing him to shiver and crack a sleepy eye open to stare at T-Bone. Grinning wickedly, T-Bone continued his grooming of Feral's face then moved slowly back down the dark brown body, licking a path toward a hard nipple. Flicking his tongue against it made the big tom moan.
Moving further down the Commander's body, the tabby began laving the genitals. Feral's groans grew louder and his hips moved restlessly. As Feral's cock emerged and slowly hardened, T-Bone licked it like an ice cream cone while at the same time using his fingers to gently caress Feral's clitoris.
Feral gasped and gripped the sheets with his paws. What T-Bone was doing was indescribably wonderful. He began to mew and plead for the torment to stop but T-Bone just grinned and continued to show the Commander just how good he was at driving a lover out of their mind.
As Feral got wet and slick, the tiger tom slipped his fingers into the hot channel and began to thrust slowly while still sucking and licking the huge cock. Feral's cries increased as did his body's energy levels. He writhed and wailed for release.
Figuring he better not take a risk of getting Feral's energy levels too high, T-Bone raised up from his delicious task, lined himself up and sank in slowly. Crying out again, Feral raised his hips to deepen T-Bone's plunge.
Pleasure instead of pain washed through Feral's body as well as an energy surge that only enhanced the purely blissful sensations.
Laying down on Feral, T-Bone plundered the tom's mouth with his tongue driving the already crazy in lust Sabren over the edge. Feral clenched around T-Bone's shaft and shouted his climax into the SWAT Kat's mouth. T-Bone pulled his lips away and growled his own climax. Rippling waves of tingling pleasure washed through both toms for several long seconds.
When it finally ran its course they both collapsed and panted. T-Bone laid his head on the big tom's chest and heard the fast drumming of his heart.
"That was much better!" T-Bone grunted in satisfaction.
"I agree! Surprisingly!" Feral said totally limp and sated.
"Never had a complaint yet." Said the cocky tiger tom smirking.
Feral rolled his eyes at the confident tom even though it was deserved. Some of his anguish had been eased by T-Bone's persistent efforts. He was a bit stunned by that sudden revelation.
'Well idiot! That's why he's compatible with you!' He chastised himself.
Outside the chamber...
"Well that one was not as strong as the first two. Looks like they are still okay despite the obvious intense start." Razor said thoughtfully.
"How long do you think they'll be in there?" Callie asked looking at her watch.
"I've seen some couples take as long as four hours, Ms. Briggs." The facility manager said shrugging his shoulders. "There is just no telling. It takes as long as it takes."
"Well, I've got to get back to city hall. Please let me know when they do finish." She said.
"Of course, Ms. Briggs." He nodded and returned to his instruments.
"I think I'll leave as well. I'll leave a cyclotron for T-Bone." Razor sighed. "There's really nothing more I can do here. Can I give you a lift to city hall, Ms Briggs?" He asked politely.
"That would be great, Razor, thanks." Callie smiled and they both headed for the exit.
Back inside the chamber...
"Hmm, I feel a little hot." Feral sighed in dismay"It seems to be taking a long time to shake my heat cycle."
"It usually takes quite a few hours for females. I guess you aren't that much different. It's alright I can take care of it. Your energy seems to make me very hard easily." T-Bone shrugged easily and rolled toward Feral and began to caress his body while holding him close.
"This feels soo weird being held by you and enjoying it." Feral mused as he let T-Bone take liberties with him that he'd never allowed any other male to do. He found himself sinking into the kiss T-Bone pressed on him, melting into the embrace and moving his hips restlessly.
Smiling to himself, T-Bone awakened Feral's buried sensuality with many erotic touches and passionate kisses. Feral began to react hotly and more urgently, pressing his body for more contact and relief from the growing ache between his legs. T-Bone could feel the big tom's readiness and slid into the hot sheath. Feral panted and moaned frantically as he moved his hips to match T-Bone's rhythm, demanding deeper thrusts. T-Bone obliged by pulling Feral's legs up to his waist and changing the angle. He leaned down to trade passionate kisses as they raced toward a fast climax together.
'Gods! This felt soo good.' He groaned, writhing in his mate's grip. His body was on fire and T-Bone was sending it higher and higher. It had never felt this way before and though it still was slavery to his mind, his master was at least very sexually accomplished and cared how he felt. He would just have to accept that his freedom was lost.
A tingling sensation rose from his toes to his head and his body tightened with his energy flowing through his body he felt like he was flying as he soared higher and higher until finally it burst like fireworks. He trembled and shuddered in waves of sensual pleasure and cried out again when he felt T-Bone fill him with his hot seed.
The next few hours went by in a blur of soaring pleasure. At the end, Feral could barely stand and felt incredibly sated. T-Bone lay on his back in languid exhaustion. He didn't blame the SWAT Kat, if there was a choice he'd just lay here too but this wasn't home and that's where he'd rather be. He was hungry too.
"Come on you! We need to get dressed and leave this place. Besides I'm starving as well as sore. I want to take a bath." Feral rumbled as he shook T-Bone's shoulder. A groan greeted his efforts. Smiling in amusement, Feral climbed stiffly off the bed to the cleansing station to clean up enough to put his clothes back on. He heard T-Bone groan again as he too made his stiff way over to his side.
"Crud! What a workout! Don't recall being this sore." He groused. "I'm hungry too!" As if to make a point his stomach chose that moment to rumble.
"Well we aren't going to be able to eat until you pull yourself together and dress." Feral said unsympathically.
"Yeah, yeah! Don't get your tail in a knot!" T-Bone snorted companionably as he quickly cleaned up and then dressed.
When they were both presentable, Feral reached for the button to signal the door to be opened. Before he could reach it, though, T-Bone caught his paw. Surprised, he looked at the SWAT Kat in confusion.
T-Bone said nothing as he suddenly pulled Feral toward him for a deep kiss. Not resisting, Feral leaned into it warmly. Then T-Bone released him gently and pulled back.
"I wanted to make sure you didn't try to write off what just happened. We may not be what each other wanted but we no longer have a choice and I don't want the rest of my life to be full of regrets and what ifs. This is what it is. From what I've learned there is no changing it. So that being said, how do you feel?" T-Bone asked seriously.
He stared at the SWAT Kat for a long moment trying to digest the tiger tom's firm declaration.
"I still feel like a slave but for a master, I could have done worse. No matter our differences, you were able to get past them and treat me as a lover rather than a stranger. I am very grateful. I can't ignore my feelings about my freedom being gone and how much that hurts. Give me time to accept my loss is all I ask." He answered with heartfelt sincerity.
"Of course! I'm not able to understand how it is for you to feel this way but I'll be there when you need me and help you cope and maybe you can help me understand you better. That's the best I can offer." T-Bone agreed quietly and hugged the Sabren.
Comforted, Feral returned the hug then turned to press the button. Moments later the door opened. They were met by the facility staff. The manager approached.
"Congratulations on your new bond!" He said warmly. "Razor went home and said he left the cyclotron for you, T-Bone. Ms. Briggs wanted to be notified when you emerged and I've done that already. She relayed that she wished to speak to you in the morning, Commander. Did you find the room satisfactory?" He asked politely.
"Yes, thank you. How much energy did you capture?" Feral asked curious.
Smiling broadly the manager said, "You are truly amazing, Commander. The power you generated will provide the city with enough electricity for at least two years!"
Feral's eyes widened at that. T-Bone just gaped then recovered quickly and slapped Feral on the back.
"Wow! Now that's doing your civic duty Commander." He smiled proudly.
"Uh right!" Feral muttered still a little overwhelmed. "I want to go home now but I came here aboard the Turbokat."
"No problem. Come on! The cyclotron can seat us both, though it will be a bit snug!" He smirked.
Feeling himself blush, Feral quickly hurried toward the door to the outside. Chuckling to himself, T-Bone followed after him.
Handing Feral a second helmet, T-Bone climbed aboard his cycle and felt Feral squeeze on behind him. Still smiling, he started the cycle and they were soon on their way to Feral's apartment.
