Excerpt:
In full form, Shaun lazed in the backyard near the pond Ashley had
built. Though his master had stocked it with fish, Shaun had a very
hard time trying not to get the golden fish as they swam by the paw he
dangled in the water.
Knowing he would probably get in trouble if Ashley came home from work
and found him with wet paws, Shaun backed up slowly, trying to ignore
the lure of the flashes dancing beneath the surface. Sometimes he
became antsy within the confines of the house and spent time prowling
and pacing the back yard. The large, surrounding fence insured their
privacy from the homes behind theirs. Instead of ignoring the fish as
he should, their mesmerizing darts across the pond had Shaun fixated on
them.
"I counted those fish when I put them in, Kitten."
Shaun's whiskers twitched in reaction to his master's voice. Ashley had
named every blasted one of them as well. A fact Shaun couldn't figure
out at all. Why give your food names? Settling back on his haunches, he
chuffed his disagreement to his master.
One corner of Ashley's mouth twitched slightly. He stepped off the back
porch and walked over to the pond. After making a show of counting each
and every of the twenty-two fish, he reached out to scratch Shaun's
head.
Lifting his paw, Shaun lazily licked the incriminating wetness away,
giving his master a bland, harmless 'I'm not guilty of anything' look.
A quick dart of his eyes back at the pond had the cat plotting each of
those twenty-two fishes' demises. He let his body shift to his half
form since his master seemed to prefer it the most when he took Shaun
out for walks.
"Can we go for a run before dinner?"
Ashley turned to face him and pulled Shaun close. "Once I have my kiss."
A rolling purr rumbled from Shaun's throat as he lifted his face to
Ashley's. This was their daily ritual, as familiar to Shaun as his own
name. One teasing lick against his master's lips encouraged one of the
lingering passionate kisses Shaun loved. Arms sliding around Shaun,
Ashley opened to him, humming happily as their tongues met. The kiss
was leisurely, playful, full of promises. When Ashley broke the kiss
slowly, he smiled and stroked Shaun's cheek.
"Love you, Kitten. Ready to go play for a while?"
Shaun knew very well about the promises that would come later, and it
made him reluctant to end the kiss. Still purring, he leaned forward to
nuzzle against Ashley's throat. "In a minute."
Ashley's chuckle faded into a low moan, his head tilting to give Shaun
more room. "Kitten." The name was whispered, Ashley's fingers threading
through Shaun's hair.
Light nips of his teeth grazed Ashley's skin, tasting the unique flavor
Shaun adored. The tilt of his head pressed against his master's hand as
he pulled his head back. "I put a roast in the oven, and it should be
done by the time we get back from the park."
"That sounds wonderful." Ashley smiled and took his hand. "Come on, Kitten. Let's get dinner started and then we'll play."
"Just need to put the potatoes and carrots in before we go." Shaun
wrinkled his nose at the thought of the vegetables. He just fixed them
because Ashley liked them. Tugging at Ashley's hand, he pulled him back
into the house and towards the kitchen.
Ashley laughed and shook his head. "Don't you know vegetables can be fun, Kitten?"
Giving Ashley a doubtful look, Shaun let go of his hand to get the
roast from the oven. There was already a bowl of peeled potatoes and
carrots soaking in water on the counter, and Shaun set the covered pan
next to it.
Leaning back against the counter, Ashley plucked a carrot from the
water. He watched Shaun as he flicked his tongue over the end of the
vegetable. Then he pushed the carrot slowly into his mouth, teeth
barely grazing the orange flesh.
Picking up a pot holder, Shaun took the lid off the roast and tried his
best to ignore his master. Unfortunately, he wasn't clothed and his
arousal was more than apparent as his cock started to harden. Casting a
side glance at Ashley, Shaun's tongue darted out and wet his own lips.
He simply couldn't bite back the small, pained sound that escaped him.
Determinedly, he began scooping out the potatoes and carrots and
dumping them in the pot.
Ashley lowered a hand to the front of his slacks and kneaded his cock
through the thin, khaki fabric. "What's wrong, Kitten?" He swirled his
tongue around the end of the carrot and let out a soft groan, pushing
his palm harder against his pants.
Shaun's sex drive had become ever present since his master had awoken
it in him. Something Shaun found nearly impossible to disregard. His
body wanted what it wanted, and it wanted to be possessed by his
master. Dropping his gaze to Ashley's hand, he watched its movement,
fascinated. Not daring to touch his own cock or his master's, Shaun
eyes lifted back to Ashley, silently begging both in look and the
unconscious arch of his body towards Ashley.
Carrot forgotten, Ashley tossed the vegetable into the sink and dropped
to his knees. Wrapping a hand around Shaun's cock, he flicked the tip
with his tongue, licking away the clear drops before sucking the head
into his mouth. His other hand curled around Shaun's hip, encouraging
Shaun to take what he needed.
The instinctive need for the heat and feel of Ashley's mouth edged at
Shaun's senses, and his hips reacted instantly with a forward push.
Pulses of sound bubbled up from Shaun, interspersed with purrs of deep
pleasure. Each slow thrust into Ashley's mouth set Shaun's nerves on a
fine trembling edge. He had no vocalizations for this other than the
sounds spilling from his throat.
Ashley's eyes rolled up and pinned Shaun with an intent gaze. "Come for me, Kitten. Let me taste you."
