They could make gentle love in the brightest part of the Light.
And they could fuck like beasts in the darkest depths of the Night.
Tracy screamed as the skies suddenly turned full black, and Everett roared as he pulled his cock out of her mouth and flipped her over like a ragdoll, his tremendous strength making her scream again.
He grabbed her from behind, raising her hips and smacking her upturned ass twice on each cheek, the slaps sounding like whipcracks, the sting of his hands on her flesh making her shriek. Again he spanked her bum, roaring like the animal he was as she howled and purred and moaned from the depths of the animal she was! In her mind’s eye she could see the marks his fingers were leaving on her broad buttocks, and she smiled as she realized he was marking her again, this time from the animal in him, the Darkness in him. It felt as pure and natural as when they’d lovingly tasted each other in the Light, lovingly marked each other in her safe place in the mountains, her feminine wetness coating his face, his masculine juice painting her body like a canvas.
Everett spanked her three more times on each cheek, and then grabbed her ass with both hands when he was done. He stretched her buttcheeks wide, holding them spread open as Tracy gasped at the feeling of his hot breath against her open rear hole.
“Dark and beautiful,” he whispered against her rear, kissing the inside curves of her buttocks. “So fucking beautiful.”
Tracy felt herself come just from his words, just from how his breath felt against her crack, just from how beautifully filthy it all felt. She groaned as her orgasm slowly wound its way through her like a snake, her pussy dripping as Everett’s tongue circled her rim until she knew she was shining with his wetness.
He licked her from behind as she came again, came from the inside, without him even touching her clit. Her climax was as mental as it was physical, and she understood how Dark and Light were finding their meeting place within her, within her body, within her soul, within her union with her mate.
Everett’s tongue slid into her rear just as Tracy’s climax hit its peak, and she almost cried with pleasure as he pushed his face so deep between her cheeks it was like he was trying to climb up inside her, enter her fully, consume her, possess her!
He pulled his face back after several long moments of the most divinely filthy licking, and then his fingers were inside her rear, two fingers, three, finally four!
“Oh, fuck, Everett!” she cried out, her mouth opening wide as he stretched her rear pucker, massaging that tight opening, spreading his fingers as he prepared her to take him. “Oh, please, Everett. Please!”
“Now you’re learning some manners, Eliza,” he growled devilishly against her back, the fingers of his other hand spreading her slit from below, entering her quickly and expertly, driving back and forth almost immediately.
Tracy just gurgled as her vision blurred and her head spun. She was being fingered in both holes at once, and it was all she could do to not pass out from the dark ecstasy that was making her blood throb in her veins like she was close to exploding. She came again as he fucked her with his fingers, and then just as she thought she couldn’t handle any more, with four fingers still deep in her anus, Everett held her slit open, let out a low, beastly grunt, and pushed his cock up into her pussy from behind, all the way deep, all the damned way.
“Bloody hell,” Tracy gurgled, her throat closing up as she felt the full girth of her mate spread her so wide, his length driving up into her with such force she thought he’d split her down the middle. “Oh, bloody hell.”
17
Bloody hell, Everett thought as he felt the skies darken behind him, felt the animal need in him come alive as Tracy sucked him to the point where he thought he’d explode. He’d lost himself in her after that, completely lost himself to her. She was bringing out parts of him he didn’t know existed, parts of his need that he understood came from the animal, from the darkest part of the animal.
“Dark and beautiful,” he’d heard himself whisper after spanking her big beautiful bum and spreading her shuddering asscheeks so wide he thought he might rip her apart. The sight of her rear pucker was almost too much for him, its clean circle shining with dark light that he was certain was magic, pure fucking magic.
She’d tasted divine, both from outside and inside. She’d smelled clean and warm, like a woman in need, like an animal in heat. And finally when he’d pushed his cock into her magnificent cunt, she’d tightened around his girth like she’d been made for him, just for him, all his, always his.
“You’re mine, Tracy,” he growled as he pumped into her, watching his long, glistening cock emerge from between her thighs before he rammed back into her again. “My bobcat. My woman. My mate.”
“All yours, Everett,” she gurgled from beneath him, her voice lilting from the way he was pounding her body with his powerful hips. Her ass was spread wide before him, his fingers firmly pushed inside her rear like he was holding her in place. He could feel her sex dripping down his cock, coating his balls, flowing down his goddamn thighs. When he glanced down he could see their combined juices gleaming on the invisible ground like black diamonds, and he roared as he felt his tiger’s frenzy in the background, sensed Tracy’s bobcat mewling as its human was taken.
Taken by the tiger.
And then suddenly Everett came, his balls seizing up as he pushed his cock so far inside her that his hips were jammed between her spread buttocks. He knew that Tracy had been climaxing for a while, but he felt her pussy clench around him as he blasted the first of his load into her warm depths, her body tightening as another orgasm slammed into her like a freight train.
Everett shouted as he poured his load into her, his cock feeling like a fireman’s hose gone wild, his balls serving up so much semen he thought he’d fill up his woman until she overflowed! One look down and Everett shouted again when he saw that hell, she was overflowing, her pussy oozing his thick semen even as she milked more out of him!
He felt Tracy reach beneath herself and clutch his balls, massaging them with her soft palms, coaxing more and more out of him. He wasn’t sure if he was dreaming, but it felt like he could come forever. Perhaps he would come forever! An endless orgasm!
He looked down at his quivering mate, taking in her strong hourglass shape spread before him in the darkness of their magical bed amongst the stars. Then he pulled out of her, spanked her buttocks once more, and without hesitation slid his still-spurting cock deep into her asshole!
“Oh, shit!” she howled, turning her head halfway, her eyes going wide with the shock of his entry. Then her shoulders hunched up, her hair hung down, and she just braced herself as Everett started pumping, somehow sustaining that orgasm, his balls swinging like heavy bags against her underside as he unloaded into her rear canal until she was once again overflowing!
They fucked like animals for what seemed like hours, months, perhaps years, and finally Everett pulled out of her, watching in amazement as his cock spurted one last load all over her smooth lower back before he collapsed on top of her.
They lay in silence, Everett covering his mate like a blanket, his cock pressed between them, still heavy like a log. At first there was no sound except for their heavy breathing.
But then he heard it.
Their hearts.
Their hearts, beating as one, in perfect rhythm, with perfect synchronicity, a rhythm in tune with the thrum of the universe.
“I love you, Tracy,” Everett whispered into her hair even as he felt the skies lighten like a new day was dawning.
“I love you too,” she said, her voice trembling before she returned to that peaceful silence of their heartbeats. Then a moment later she grunted, like she’d just realized she was leaking all over! “Damn right, you love me! I’m overflowing with your seed, you beast,” she said. She tried to turn her head, but Everett was too exhausted to move off her.
Finally Everett looked down between them, glancing at her ass and grunting. “Yes, you are overflowing. I might have to wait a few minutes before going again.” He grunted again as she giggled. “And you took an awfully long time to say you love me back, by the way. Very romantic. I shoulda known better than to pick an American as a mate.”
“First of all,” Tracy said, wriggling beneath him and finally managing to turn, “you didn’t pick me as a mate. And second of all, shoulda is not a word in the English language.”
“I shoulda filled your mouth too,” Everett muttered, raising an eyebrow. Then he shrugged. “You know, maybe I will!”
“Ohmygod, you will not!” Tracy squealed as Everett straddled her and grasped his cock with both hands, jerking himself back up to full hardness. “Get that thing away from my face, you . . . you animal!”
And as she said it her bobcat burst forth in an explosion of energy, and Tracy roared like the mountain lion she was, her sleek animal breaking away from Everett and racing away in playful glee!
“Oh no, you don’t!” roared Everett, calling his Tiger, which came forth with delight, its massive body bursting through the man, its muscular haunches flexing as it pushed off and gave chase, ready to chase its mate across the universe, the universe which was now their playground!
18
It’s a magical playground, Tracy thought as she felt her bobcat run like the wind, its energy overflowing, its joy boundless from the frenzied coupling of its human with its mate. She’d been so overwhelmed with the joy of her cat that at first she hadn’t noticed that the scenery had changed, that the darkness had given way to dawn, that she was now running on soft ground, along the banks of a raging river, the smell of wet mud filling her senses, the sound of the rapids like nature’s music!
She raced around a set of rocks, following the river downhill, feeling her tiger hot on her heels, sensing the big beast’s joy and playfulness. She knew Everett’s tiger could catch her anytime he wanted. It could run her down in a flash, overpower her in an instant, do with her what it wanted. But all it wanted to do right now was play, she understood. The sexual energy had smoothly transformed into the simple energy of animals at play, and she howled in delight as Everett swatted her with a mighty paw, sending her bobcat rolling head over heels but in a perfectly controlled way!
The two cats played like they didn’t have a care in the world, barreling their way through bushes that sprung up out of nowhere, climbing up low-rising trees and leaping off branches onto the soft grass. Soon Tracy realized they were creating their surroundings as they played, and when she saw her beautiful mountains in the distance even as Everett chased her through the yellow-gold elephant grass of his beloved Savannah, she understood that they were creating this reality together.
Finally they tumbled over each other at the edge of a clearing, the two cats panting in excitement as they lay on their bellies, nuzzling against one another, licking each other’s snouts, both of them with big, dopey grins as a love pure and simple flowed through them like that distant river.
“We really can travel through Light and Dark together!” Tracy said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “And it’s all beautiful, isn’t it? It’s all perfect!”
“It is perfect,” said Everett, his tiger’s eyes beaming as he surveyed the surroundings and then settled his gaze on her. “A perfect ending.”
“A perfect ending,” Tracy repeated, her voice coming out as a murmur. She blinked as a flickering image of her sister came to her mind. But she knew Lacy was happy. Lacy was back in the world of flesh and blood, joined forever with her mate Darius. Hell, she was probably giving birth to their kittens right now!
The thought of kittens sparked something in Tracy, and before she could blink again she realized she’d Changed back to the woman. She looked down at herself, and when she looked back up, she saw that Everett had Changed back too, once he’d seen her Change.
“What?” he said. “Did I say something? I didn’t mean this is the end. It’s just as accurate to say that it’s the beginning! The beginning of our forever!”
“No, it’s not that,” Tracy muttered, drawing her knees up to her body and hugging herself. It took some effort to actually hug herself, and Tracy frowned again as she wondered if she’d somehow gotten fatter even though she didn’t remember eating anything in the afterlife. “Um, do my boobs look bigger to you?” she said as she stared down at herself.
“Is that a trick question?” said Everett with a grin.
“No, I’m serious, you oaf!” said Tracy straightening up and gasping when she felt how heavy her boobs were. Heavy and full. “Here, feel them! They’re heavy, Everett!”
“If this is a trick, then I’m falling for it,” growled Everett, leaning close and grasping her breasts, one in each hand. Slowly he squeezed, groaning softly as his cock stood straight up. He played with her nipples a bit, pinching harder and harder until he was roughly plucking and pulling at her stiff nubs.
And then it happened. Her nipples tightened, and she squirted a shot of white milk directly up into Everett’s face!
“Ow!” Everett roared, turning his face away and then looking at her in shock. He licked his lips, and then broke into a surprised smile. “I mean, wow!”
“It can’t be,” Tracy muttered, shaking her head as she looked down at her boobs and realized they were heavy with milk! Breast milk! Mommy’s milk! “Ohmygod, Everett! Look!”
They both looked down past her oozing breasts, and Tracy gasped when she saw how distended her belly had gotten! She’d always had a gut, but this was different. This was . . . she was . . .
“Pregnant?” she whispered as that vision of her seven unborn kittens came back to her like they were mewling out loud! She’d had that vision earlier, but although it had seemed real, she’d decided that it had to be imagination. After all, they were both dead, weren’t they? They hadn’t had intercourse before they died. Could she actually have gotten pregnant in the afterlife? Could she give birth here?
Both joy and panic whipped through her at once as Everett pulled her close and held her. She knew he was experiencing the same confusion, the same happiness, the same feeling of WTF?!
“Yes,” Everett finally said, his eyes shining as he cupped her face in his big hands and gave a her warm, wet kiss. “Why not! We’re both body and spirit out here, aren’t we? We can travel between Darkness and Light. We’re bonded mates. Why can’t we have babies in this place? Your sister was pregnant while she was here with us, wasn’t she?”
“Yeah, but Lacy had gotten knocked up before she and Darius killed themselves to come find us,” Tracy said, frowning as she tried to put her finger on what seemed wrong about this whole situation.
Nothing is wrong, whispered her bobcat from inside her, its voice coming out like a snarl. You’re about to give birth to our kittens. Now lean back, spread your legs, and push. Push, dammit! PUSH!
19
PUSH!
Everett was startled to hear his tiger growl out the word. Then he realized his tiger was trying to talk directly to Tracy even though Everett was in human form! The animal was yearning to see its kittens pop out of Tracy, and Everett had to grit his teeth to force his tiger to the background again!
You can’t stop it, his tiger growled. It’s too late. Our kittens are coming, and we will raise them here, in this realm where the tiger rules supreme.
“What the hell are you talking about?” whispered Everett to his animal as he watched Tracy lean back and scream like she was going into labor. “Tracy! Hold on! I’m here, baby! I’m here!”
We’re all here, whispered his tiger. And we’ll always be here. Once our kittens are born, there’ll be no going back. They will be of this world, this greater world, born with the ability to travel between Light and Darkness, the ability to treat the cosmos as their playground. They will be gods. Cat gods.
E
verett’s mind raced as he cradled his screaming mate against his chest and tried to figure out what was happening. He understood that time worked differently in this place, that even though it seemed like only a few days had passed, it could have been years in Earth time! After all, Tracy’s sister had to return to the world in time to give birth, nine months passing in just a few hours! So yes, time meant nothing out here!
He listened to his tiger go on and on about the tiger’s destiny, the tiger’s powers, and as Everett thought back to the volumes of mythology he’d read as a graduate student, something stuck out to him:
“In Asian mythology the Tiger is the only beast that can rival the Dragon,” he muttered aloud, petting Tracy’s hair, dabbing the sweat off her forehead as she began to hyperventilate. “The only beast that can kill a dragon!”
The moment he voiced the thought, a bloodcurdling screech filled the air, and suddenly Everett realized that the sky was gone, the sun was gone, the light was gone! Was he back in the Darkness? So what if he was? The Darkness was no threat now that they were bonded!
But then the screech came again, and when Everett managed to get his tiger under enough control to use its night-vision, he roared out loud when he saw the glistening walls of Sinesta’s dragon-belly pulsating around them!
“We’re still inside the dragon!” he shouted, shaking Tracy back to her senses. But she was still hyperventilating, her legs spread wide as if she was about to give birth! “Of course we’re still inside the dragon’s belly,” Everett growled, shaking his head, furious at himself. “If we’d really been coughed out, we’d have found ourselves back in the world of flesh and blood, not prancing about the universe like carefree kittens! Everything we experienced was real, but also an illusion. We thought we could live here in this greater reality, and in our ecstasy we forgot that the Shifter’s place is on Earth, that it can only find everlasting balance in the world of flesh and blood.” Again he looked down at his mate, cradling her face and leaning close. “You can’t give birth here, Tracy. If you do, our kittens will be born having never experienced life in flesh and blood! They won’t be true Shifters! Ignore whatever your animal is saying, Tracy! It’s blind to the greater purpose of the Shifter spirit. It senses that its kittens are close, and that’s all it cares about. It doesn’t understand what it means in the long run. We have to go back to the world, Tracy. We have to go back to the physical. For us. For our children. And perhaps for the world itself. We have to go back!”
