Lust

Arthur sat in his office going over some paperwork. Alfred was currently looking out the window at the sea out on the horizon. His legs were bouncing, almost like he was anxious to move. Arthur opened the drawer on his desk and pulled out paper.

"Alfred." Arthur called.

Alfred jumped a little before looking at the other in the room, "Yes?"

"Come see I have some questions for you."

Alfred got up and dragged his chair to the desk, "What so you want to know?"

"Just a few questions about your species, we are looking for some more insight."

"Alright lay them on me."

"How do you travel and what is the hierarchy?"

"We swim in pods. One pod roughly contains five to fifteen members. Dominates are the first tier. There is only one dominate male per pod, if there was more fighting would ensue. We are very territorial so dominates keep a medium sized area for their pod. It is his or her job to keep his pod safe no matter what, even if it cost him his life.

"Warriors are the second tier, basically second in command. They help protect the pod when their leader are not there. There can be up to four in a pod depending on the size. My pod had two, one if which is my half-brother Matthew. They carry weapons that can be used when we run into trouble.

"Scouts and uncategorized males are the last tier. Scouts are sent ahead to check for any danger. There is usually one or two per pod. Uncategorized males are males that do not fit into any of the positions. They will take on a scout or warrior position if there is a need of one. Having uncategorized males shows the pods strength in numbers. Even if they have no place themselves they help protect the pod in the face of danger.

"Females and calves have their own hierarchy system so I don't know much about it. I do know females love a dominate male that has an active role in the calves rising. Females hurt for fish with the help of dolphins. Calves play just like human children. A nanny, usually an older female who can't reproduce anymore, watches over them." Alfred stopped talking and looked out at the horizon again.

"Why does it sound like a complicated society?" Arthur said shaking his hand from writing so much.

"Well it's easy if you were born into it." Alfred shrugged.

"What is the difference between a male and a female?"

"A female's lower body looks like a female sharks. A male's does not…well you've seen it. A female has two pelvis fins while a male only has one at it is below everything. Males are generally larger and more aggressive than females."

A light blush covered Arthur's face, "How do you mate?"

Alfred noticed the blush and shifted in his seat a little, "Uh, kinda like what we did but not quite. How do I put it? You ever seen sharks mate?"

"One time in a video almost a year ago," Arthur said with a fidget.

"It's kind of like that but not exactly." Alfred rubbed his hip while looking away. "We have one like a human's but it just…uh…comes out."

"It's like a snake." Arthur said catching on to what Alfred meant.

"Yeah, kind of but it is also barbed. We…uh bite down on the other's neck…and….place our hands on their hips to keep them close." For some reason Alfred did not like talking about mating to Arthur after what happen last night, "The females have a…slit between their pelvic fins. A male's thing sort of…comes out and we can easily find the…slit. It's not what we did last night but we just…rock. The barbs on our…thing helps keep us attached. Once we are done with one of them if we have another we move on to the next or stay with that one."

Arthur gulped, he had noticed Alfred's nervousness, "You said you species has gay relationships before. How would that work since your bodies are not like ours?"

"I'm not exactly sure how it works but I heard stories about it. Dominate males take on smaller scouts and uncategorized males, who will help protect his females without trying to get to them. Well males have a…slit…kind of like their, uh…where I shoved mine into you when we…you know, it's just a slit but not like the females' because it doesn't have the pelvic fins on the side. It's in the front right below their thing so we can find it easily too. The male population easily outnumber the female population so they take on a female role to…satisfy their needs."

"Do you want children?"

"I was hoping to sire at least two from at least four females and a male."

Hearing that from Alfred panged a little jealousy, "How do you know if a female is pregnant?

"I heard that males will feel a pull towards the pregnant females. They would wait on them and make sure they are aright. The ones not carrying a child will swim off and hang in a group until it is time to leave."

"What does your pod consist of?'

"I'm at the head and one of the scouts. My half-brother Matthew is one of the two warriors. There are five females, three of which are able to bear children and three uncategorized males."

"What about the other two females?"

"One if fifty so she is the nanny and the other is ten so she is too young to have children."

"What are the mating ages?"

"It is eighteen for males and sixteen through thirty for females."

"Why so young for females."

Alfred shrugged, "Younger females produce healthier children."

"The sex talk was awkward, wasn't it?"

Alfred got up from his chair and brushed the other's lips, "Not as awkward as doing it."

Arthur pushed the larger blond away, "Not here, I'm at work."

"It's one round, what could hurt?"

"I'm not getting a quickie at work. It could hurt my job because I would not be able to move. Come on lets go see Cheri."

"Who's Cheri?"

"The dolphin you met yesterday. You can go play in the water again."

Alfred ran towards the door, "Whoop, let's go."

Arthur got up from his desk and had to run to keep up with Alfred. The merman pretty much knew the route to get back to the tank. When he reached the doors he pushed them open and walked into the warm air. Arthur was soon behind him catching his breath. Alfred started wiggling out his shirt, eager to get into the water.

'Wait!" Arthur called with outstretched hands.

"Why?" Alfred said finishing taking off his shirt.

"There are women here, you can't just strip."

"We'll turn around." One of the women said, "We set up a screen so he can change out of his clothes and stairs so he can get into the tank."

"Thank you." Alfred said.

The woman pointed to the screen on the side of the tank before turning around. Alfred walked behind the screen and peeled off of his clothes before climbing the stairs and jumping into the tank. Soon the sounds of dolphin clicks were heard. Everyone that turned around turned back to look at the playing pair in the tank. The sides of the tank were clear so people on ground level could see inside.

"She is still on the bottle but we hope to get her off of it in a few days." One of the women, Arthur remembered as Elizabeta said.

Elizabeta was a woman around twenty five who was Hungarian immigrant. She had long slightly curly brown hair and grass green eyes. Her body was all in proportions, maybe a little heavy on the top. She had a light accent from coming to America when she was eight. Currently she was wearing a wetsuit from being in the tank previously and her hair was tied up with a chip.

"Have you been able to feed her?" Arthur asked.

"Yes, we fed her this morning."

"That's nice to know. Can I leave him in your care Elizabeta while I finish my work for today?"

"Yes, that is not a problem. We just might need some fish to feed him lunch."

"I'll get someone to bring some."

"Thank you."

Arthur met Heracles in the parking lot. They both got into Arthur's car and drove off to a local restaurant. They talked about random things throughout dinner. Once their dirty dishes were taken away Arthur told the other man about what Alfred had told him.

"That's interesting." Heracles said with his head rested in his hands.

"I have the notes in my office. He just answered any question I asked him." Arthur said taking a sip of his drink.

"He seems to be attached to you."

Arthur blushed, "I don't know why though."

"You probably look like a good fuck to him?"

Arthur started choking on his drink, "Whot?"

Heracles shrugged, "You two are staying together in your house," he looked at his friend dead in the eye, "and you haven't done anything."

Arthur's blush got darker, "I don't know what you mean." He stuttered and averted his eyes.

Heracles's smile got wider, "You have done it haven't you."

"No we haven't!" Arthur protested, his blush rivaling a tomato.

"Your face says it all." Heracles said pointing at Arthur's face.

Arthur covered his face in his hands, "Because I'm recalling the memory. God and I like it to."

"Bottom, huh?"

"Yes, it's been a while since I had sex but damn it felt so good. The boy is going to be the end of me."

"Just got little while left before mating is over and the gestation period for the female's child to begin, so just put up with it for a little longer."

After a while Arthur got up from the table, "I have to go get some clothes for Alfred at Wal-Mart. You remember Sadiq size, because he is a size bigger."

"Let's run there before going back."

"Alright."

"Alfred let me cook supper first." Arthur moaned once he was in the door of his house.

The moment they were both in the door Alfred started attacking Arthur's neck. Alfred was currently leaning against the door after releasing Arthur. There was lust building up behind his ocean blue eyes. The look in Alfred's eyes was almost body melting. The heat filled gaze followed Arthur's body was he walked into the kitchen.

Once he was in the kitchen Arthur felt the heat filled eyes off of him. He pulled out the cookbook from the cabinet and opened to an easy, quick recipe. In twenty minutes the food was out the skillet and on the dining table. Alfred came from the front door and sat across from Arthur. Dinner was eaten with the sounds of silverware scraping against plate. When they both finished eating Alfred picked up the dirty dishes and placed them in the sink.

Arthur was relaxing on the couch when he spotted Alfred coming back from the kitchen. Alfred walked over and pushed the smaller man over. Arthur grunted as he was pushed down and straddled by the larger man. Soon their mouths connected and their tongues battled for dominance. Alfred won and Arthur allowed the merman to explore his mouth. When the other's tongue rubbed his palate Arthur moaned loud.

"Al…upstairs…bed," Arthur managed to get out.

Alfred stopped his kissing on the smaller blond and picked him up bridal style before practically running up the stairs. After Arthur was deposited on the bed Alfred resumed his previous actions. Arthur's back arched when Alfred's hand started rubbing over his chest, mainly his nipples that were hardening. Alfred tugged the now offensive article of clothing off the lithe body before traveling downward on his body. His head kept going lower until he came to Arthur's navel while his thumbs were rubbing the hardened buds. He started biting the skin around the navel before biting lower and lower until he came to the hem of the jeans.

His hands moved down Arthur's body slowly and over all his sensitive spots. He quickly unbuttoned the jeans and slid his hands inside. Arthur let out a shuddering moan was his hips were softly rubbed by calloused hands. Soon Alfred pushed his hands farther down Arthur's legs, pushing down his jeans and boxers in the process. Arthur was able to wiggle out of the clothing once it was low enough. He felt so valuable lying in front of the still clothed merman.

Arthur started pulling on Alfred clothing, "Come on, this is not fair."

Alfred pleased the human by quickly stripping off his shirt, "Where's the lube?"

Arthur took a little to catch his breath, "In the drawer on the nightstand."

Alfred crawled over to the edge of the bed, opened the drawer and pulled out the lubrication before crawling back, "How do you want this?" He shook the bottle.

"If you're careful we can do it like this." Arthur said blushing at his own words.

Alfred cracked a huge smile, "If that is what you want."

Alfred threw one of Arthur's legs over his shoulder. He grabbed the bottle of lubrication that was lying beside the smaller male and squeezed a generous amount on his fingers. Carefully he stuck two fingers into the others entrance. Arthur grunted a little before getting use to the intrusion in his backside. Every time Alfred curled his fingers he was looking for the other's prostate. Soon enough he realized he found it when Arthur's back arched and he was grasping the sheets.

The merman added another and started thrusting them in and out. Arthur moaned at the movement. Alfred grunted when he felt the passageway around his fingers constrict. When Alfred thought Arthur was prepared enough he withdrew his fingers. The smaller of the two gave a whine when the fingers were removed. He watched as Alfred's hands went to work unbuttoning his jeans and licked his lips when he saw the other's erection escape from the confines of the jeans. Alfred kicked his jeans off.

Alfred sighed and covered Arthur's body with his, "Ready?"

As soon as Arthur nodded the blunt stab of an engorged member was felt at his entrance. Above him the merman sighed when he slid into the tight warm heat. Noises escaped Arthur's mouth as Alfred slid all the way into the hilt without stopping. Once he was fully sheathed he allowed Arthur to get use to his size but started moving when Arthur rolled his hips only a few seconds later. He started out slow but with the coaxing from Arthur he went faster and harder. Arthur gripped the merman's upper arms for purchase.

The room was filled with the noise of skin slapping against skin and the noises escaping from duo. Arthur felt the heat pooling in his belly as Alfred went faster. The large hands keeping him in place were gripping his hips tightly. He was sure he is going to bruises there after this. Alfred could feel the heat in his gut getting hotter and hotter with each thrust. Instinctively Alfred leaned down nipped on Arthur's neck. The nipping turned into pure pleasure.

To Arthur the pleasure from being nipped and his prostate being rammed was enough to bring him to completion. He moaned very loudly, spilling his seed and painted both their stomachs white. Alfred hissed when his sensitive member was squeezed pleasurably hard. After a few more thrust he emptied himself inside the body below him. Both men were panting hard after the round while looking at each other in the eyes, basking in the afterglow of their orgasm. There was lust still in Alfred's eyes but Arthur paid it no mind. Alfred pulled out and flipped Arthur on his stomach.

"Al what are…you ah" Arthur yelled as Alfred's still hardened member plunged back inside of him.

"What you didn't know Artie," Alfred huskily said into Arthur's ear making him shiver, "I can keep going for hours." He stated thrusting slowly.

"Ah Alfred...stop." Arthur moaned.

Alfred's hands slid down from the smaller man's shoulders to his hips. Arthur felt the slight pressure on his hips as the large hands gripped his body. He slowly rose himself up on his hands and knees. Alfred's thrusts were slow and dragging. Whenever the movement would pass over Arthur's prostate it would feel like the pleasure would just drag on for the longest time. To Arthur it seems like he was doing it on purpose.

"Damn it Alfred, go faster." Arthur yelled.

Alfred licked the shell of Arthur's ear, "Whatever you want babe."

Alfred's thrust stated to get faster by the second. Arthur could feel the cum from the previous round get pushed out with each thrust. The pleasure coming from being rammed made him hard again in a matter of seconds. Once he got to a steady pace Alfred found his prostate once again. The force coming from Alfred made Arthur fall from his lower arms so his chest was on the bed. Saliva was leaking from the corners of his mouth. The sound of wet skin slapping against wet skin and Arthur's moans were bouncing around the room.

Arthur could feel he was on the brink of pleasure. After a few more hits to his prostate he released on the blankets below him. His body went limp and wanted to fall but Alfred's hands kept his hips in the air. In a few more thrusts Alfred came with a low growl. Arthur felt Alfred's hands release his hips and he fell to the bed. He laid there trying to catch his breath.

"No…more," Arthur wheezed out.

Alfred ran his hand over the back of Arthur's thigh and licked his lips, "I still wanna go."

"My body can only handle so much Al. Isn't your duty to make sure your mate is happy and taken care of?"

"Fine I'll stop for the night." Alfred huffed.

Alfred flopped beside Arthur on the bed. He pulled the sheets from below them and held them up for Arthur. Arthur grabbed the sheet on top and wiped off the wet cum from his stomach while grumbling something about how he was lucky to have an extra sheet on top of his blanket. After he was done he crawled under the sheet and got close to Alfred.

"Do all humans sleep like this?" Alfred questioned.

"Couples usually do but also I'm kind of clingy." Arthur said hiding his face into Alfred's neck. "Why?"

"It feels weird to me. We don't usually do this."

"Well it's your job to make me happy so I say we stay like this."

Alfred turned on his side and wrapped his hands around the smaller's waist, "Yeah, yeah, yeah I know. I don't want you getting on my case."

"I'm going to bed, you bastard." Arthur said snugging into Alfred chest.

Alfred closed his eyes. This is going to be a long week.

How much longer? Arthur thought before finally giving into the blackness of unconsciousness.
