Saving Jax

by L. M. Brown

  Cal continued to stroke one breast while sucking on the other.

  Jax took his hand from his cock and held it to Cal's head, keeping him in place. He ran his fingers through Cal's fur, causing him to purr and send wonderful vibrations through Jax's body, starting at the tip of the breast Cal drank from and spreading outward to every part of him.

  His cock ached for attention, but he didn't want Cal to stop what he was doing. He wished Ty had stayed in the cabin, but he knew that ensuring the safety of their family was far more important than his sexual needs.

  Cal sucked harder, before nipping him with his incisors. He wasn't deep enough to draw blood, but it was hard enough to send another wave of desire through Jax's body.

  "Ah, you like that, do you?" Cal bit him again.

  Jax moaned louder. "Again, Cal, again."

  He had never thought he'd enjoy being bitten. Even though Lyndon had often been rough with him, Jax hadn't really liked it when he had. He wondered why it aroused him so much now.

  Cal squeezed his other breast and pinched his nipple hard.

  Jax moaned and Cal did the same again. He understood in that moment what the difference was. Cal had Jax's pleasure at the forefront of his mind, while Lyndon had sought only his own.

  Cal didn't stop until his milk stopped flowing. He turned to the other one and gave it the same attention. Some milk had already spilt and Cal lapped it up before taking the nipple into his mouth.

  Jax scrambled back on the bed, pulling Cal away from his breasts and down with him. Cal's cock rubbed against the side of Jax's belly and Jax groaned as he spread his legs, eager for more.

  "Fuck me," Jax begged. "Please, before it's too late."

  "Too late?"

  "Once I've given birth you won't be able to take me this way without the risk of pregnancy. I need to feel you in me again while I still can."

  "You think there won't be another time once you've delivered your litter?"

  Jax hesitated. Do I want another litter after this one? He did. He wanted to carry Cal's babes as well as Ty's.

  Cal misread his hesitation. "If you don't want more babies after this litter, neither of us will force you."

  "I do, but perhaps not right away. I want to carry your litter or Ty's, or even both. It'll make a pleasant change to be carrying babes of felines who actually care for me and their young."

  "I'm glad to hear it, but if you change your mind, please don't be afraid to tell us."

  "I won't… change my mind, that is."

  "But if you do, you tell us."

  "I will. Now, let me feel you in me, please."

  Cal reached between Jax's legs and slid a finger into his slick, damp heat. Jax moaned and clenched around the digit. "More, Cal, please give me more."

  Two more fingers and it still wasn't enough.

  "Your cock, Cal. Give it to me. I need your cock in me. Please Cal, fuck me."

  Cal removed his fingers and replaced them with the hard length of his cock.

  "That's it," Jax encouraged as Cal eased his way inside. "Harder."

  "I don't want to hurt you," Cal said, "or the babes."

  Jax chuckled. "You won't, I promise. Even if you bury yourself in me as far as you can, you won't reach the litter. Now please, fuck me hard, Cal."

  "If you're sure?"

  "Yes, Cal, I'm so sure, now please!"

  Cal pushed all the way in and Jax wrapped his legs around Cal's back, holding him close. Jax's belly rose between them and Cal gently rubbed the mound, before reaching across to do the same to his breasts.

  Jax moaned and gripped the sheets.

  Cal drew back and took hold of Jax's hips, before entering him with one smooth thrust.

  Jax released the sheets and groped for his cock, taking himself in hand.

  "Let me handle that," Cal said as he took over. "I want to watch you touch your breasts."

  Jax released his cock to Cal's care. He fondled his breasts and whimpered in pleasure as he stroked them in time with Cal's thrusts.

  "That's it, Jax," Cal encouraged. "Let me see you pleasure yourself while I fuck you."

  "Not fuck," Jax whispered. "Make love to me."

  Cal smiled down at him. "I stand corrected. Let me make love to you, my beautiful mate."

  They rocked together for immeasurable moments, each thrust sending waves of pleasure through Jax. Cal continued to stroke his cock for as long as he could, but as his movements became more frantic his hand faltered. Jax too, began to lose control. His breasts ached almost as much as his cock. So many sensations coursed through his body at once, and the whole time Cal maintained their connection, the heat of his cock, buried in Jax's vagina became the centre of his world.

  Jax moaned and encouraged Cal with both words and caresses. Their feline tails tangled together, a sign of ultimate trust between the two of them. Only when two felines were completely comfortable with each other, would they entwine their tails. It was with that knowledge at the forefront of his mind that Jax let go of the last of his doubts and accepted that Cal desired him, female parts as well as male.

  Cal stilled a moment later and Jax felt the heat of his release inside him. He own orgasm followed, and the moment he touched his cock he climaxed a second time, spilling over them both.

  "Claim me," Jax begged.

  Cal pulled out of him and fisted his cock, pumping frantically until he spilled over Jax's chest.

  "That's it," Jax encouraged as Cal rubbed his cream over his chest. Jax reached out and gathered his own cream to do the same to Cal. "Now ride me."

  Cal fingered his own arse in preparation. When he was ready he lowered himself onto Jax's still hard cock. "So good, Jax."

  Jax cried out as Cal impaled himself on his cock. "So tight."

  "Fill me," Cal said. "Claim me, Jax. I'm yours so do it. When we reach that spaceport I don't want anyone to doubt who I belong to."

  "They won't," Jax promised. "Everyone with a nose will know you're mine, and that I'm yours."

  "Ty too," Cal whispered. "We'll need to claim him too, and him us, before we start hiking."

  "I'm sure he won't have a problem with that."

  Cal laughed. "No, he won't."

  Jax climaxed again, filling Cal with his cream and sealing their bond once more.

  As they lay on the bed, Jax rubbed his belly, feeling the new life moving within him. He was glad Cal had claimed him in this manner today. Once he'd birthed his litter it would be a while before Cal or Ty could do so again. He would enjoy it while he could.

  Chapter Eleven

  Ty checked the cabin one last time before they departed, just in case they had left something important behind.

  "Do we have the holo-projector?" Jax asked. "Was there any more news from Furyne this morning?"

  "Cal has it, and no, but that's not surprising. Even big news takes a little time to reach other planets. The sooner we get off Lupalia the better."

  "Do you have any idea where we're going to go?"

  "No. I think we should do the same as we did last time. We get to a spaceport, find out what ships are going where, and make our decision then."

  Ty checked a couple of drawers, and once he was sure they had everything, he nudged Jax ahead of him and back on deck. "I think I'm going to miss our home on the water."

  Jax snorted. "I won't miss the water, but I did like our cosy little cabin."

  Ty helped Jax down the ramp and onto dry land. "You do realise that we're going to have to get in water to remove the dye again?"

  "I'm trying not to think about that."

  Ty chuckled. "Are you sure you got enough rest last night? You'll make sure to tell us if you're feeling tired?"

  "I had plenty of sleep, though at this stage in the pregnancy it seems I can never get enough. It was the same last time too. But I can manage."

  "Just make sure you don't overdo it. If you want to take a break, you tell us right away."

  "You do remember you're pregnant too?"

&
nbsp; "Yes, but I'm not as far along as you."

  "No, but you're still in the morning sickness stage. That can be just as draining."

  Ty hooked his arm through Jax's. "Let's both agree to be sensible and not over-exert ourselves."

  "Agreed."

  Cal sat by their luggage. They hadn't acquired much on Lupalia, having stayed away from most settlements and only purchasing necessities. Still, with all they had bought at the spaceport, it was a lot for Cal to carry on his own. Ty picked up one of the packs and Jax did the same.

  "What do you think you're doing with that?" Ty asked.

  "It's very light." Jax eased it over his shoulder. "Far lighter than when I'm going to be carrying a cycle-old babe in my arms."

  Cal grabbed his own pack and the bulk of their luggage. "I'm sure Jax knows what he can handle."

  "Thank you, Cal," Jax replied. "Now, are we ready?"

  Ty nodded, and with one last longing glance at the boat, he led the way down the path and into the woods. "The port is this way. We should reach it today, or tomorrow at the latest."

  "I'd rather get there today than camp out overnight," Jax said. "This is an unfamiliar planet and we don't know who might be in the area."

  "I agree," Cal replied. "We stay safe."

  "Let's hope that the port doesn't have anyone watching out for us there."

  "I'm hoping they'll just monitor the major spaceports, or even just the nearest one. They might not even be watching them at all. After all, the news report seemed to indicate that they thought we'd been abducted by canines, and if they're tracing the holo-player the canines took from us, they'll be headed there first. That may give us enough time to get off-world."

  They headed away from the river at a leisurely pace, stopping for many short breaks. Ty's morning sickness seemed to last all day, but he battled on with the hike, insisting the others go ahead without him. He would then catch them up and they would continue their journey.

  The sun was just beginning to dip over the horizon when they arrived at their destination.

  "It doesn't look like a spaceport," Cal said. "Where are all the ships?"

  "I don't know." Ty scanned the large clearing, seeing only one building at the far side of it.

  "There's one." Jax pointed at the building, where a ship appeared to be exiting from the large doors.

  "I can't see any public terminal," Ty said. "Let's go check the building."

  "Maybe I should go?" Cal suggested. "In case there's someone there looking for you two."

  Ty didn't like the idea of splitting up, but he could see Cal's point. "Let's go to the building together, but we'll wait outside while you go in."

  It wasn't ideal, but it was a compromise Ty could live with.

  Jax sat on the wheeled trunk Cal had been pulling up the hill while Ty paced impatiently.

  Cal returned in a few minutes. "The place is empty. No terminal or departure list or anything."

  Jax peered around the corner at the ship that had exited the building a short while ago. "If that ship is the only one here, maybe we should ask for passage on it, before it leaves."

  Cal nodded and hurried towards the ship, leaving Jax and Ty to follow.

  "Hello!" Cal shouted, waving at the front of the craft.

  "You're trespassing on private property."

  Ty jumped as the voice came through an external speaker on the ship. "The map says this is a spaceport. We're looking for passage."

  "It's a private spaceport. The nearest public one is east of here, but you've got a long walk ahead of you."

  "We're in a hurry," Cal called. "We need to get our expectant father home before he gives birth. As you can see, we don't have much time."

  "Not my problem," the voice said.

  "We can pay you," Cal shouted.

  The hatch to the ship opened. "What have you got to offer?" the canine who stepped onto the ramp, asked.

  "We have nearly two hundred credits." It was all they had left after they'd been swindled at the tollgate. Even though Ty had access to a fortune, to do so would lead his parents directly to him.

  The canine laughed, though not with much humour. "Two hundred credits. Are you trying to be amusing?"

  "It's all we have on us."

  "Then I guess you aren't flying with me."

  Cal growled. "The price of passage to the nearest spaceport can't be more than fifty credits each, even on the regular ships."

  "Then I suggest you go find a regular ship to travel on. This is a commercial flight and each of you would be taking up precious cargo space. And I assure you, my cargo is worth a lot more than your credits."

  "Ty!"

  The panic in Jax's voice, and the fact he had used his name in the presence of a stranger, alarmed Ty and he spun to his mate. "What is it?"

  "My waters have just broken."

  Ty glanced down and saw Jax was correct, not that he doubted his word. "Where's the nearest bed?" he asked the pilot. "Cal, get the medi-pack out the luggage?"

  The pilot stood immobile on the ramp.

  "He needs a bed?" Ty snapped. "Don't just stand there, help us."

  The pilot swore and waved behind him. "My cabin has a bed."

  "Perfect." Ty guided Jax up the ramp and followed the pilot to his quarters. Cal followed with their luggage and the medical kit. Ty wasn't sure why the pilot was suddenly being so accommodating, but he wasn't going to question it while Jax was in labour. Perhaps he was sympathetic to Jax's situation. His initial attitude made it seem unlikely, but Ty didn't have time to worry about it. Jax needed him and his mate was his first priority.

  The cabin was small and cramped, but Ty made Jax as comfortable as he could. "Remember your breathing exercises," he encouraged.

  Jax hissed at him.

  "Time his contractions," Ty told Cal as he set up the holo-projector and loaded up the instructions he had studied and saved for feline births. "Everything is going to be fine, Jax."

  "I know," Jax replied with a somewhat forced smile. "I trust you."

  "How long is this going to take?" the pilot asked from the doorway. "I need to depart if I'm going to make my rendezvous."

  "I don't know," Ty replied without turning round.

  "My first litter was delivered quite quickly," Jax said.

  "How quickly?" the pilot asked. "Are you going to be done in the next hour?"

  "It's not likely," Jax admitted.

  The pilot glared at the three of them in turn. "Then I guess you'll have to come with me after all."

  "At least we aren't taking up cargo space in here," Cal commented.

  "No, you're just taking over my living quarters. Hang on tight, we'll be breaking atmosphere shortly." He disappeared out the room without another word.

  "He didn't even tell us his name," Jax said.

  "Delta," the canine called back.

  "Do you trust him?" Cal whispered in Ty's ear.

  "Not really," Ty murmured back. "But as long as he gets us off-world we don't have to stay with him for long. Cal, did you bring everything on board?"

  "Yes, it's just outside the door."

  Satisfied that they were putting some distance between themselves and the planet, Ty concentrated on Jax, making sure he was doing his breathing, and that the birth went as smoothly as possible. Each time a contraction hit him, Ty tried hard not to remember that in a few months' time it would be his turn.

  The craft lifted off and Ty made sure Jax was safe on the bed as they increased speed and broke free of the atmosphere.

  "Cal, can you go find some hot water?" Ty asked.

  Cal nodded and hurried to do his bidding.

  Delta didn't seem as if he wanted interrupting, but it was his ship and Cal had no idea where to find hot water—or anything else-on it.

  "Where's the galley?" Cal asked.

  "Are you expecting me to feed you free of charge too?"

  "We said we'd pay for our passage. We need hot water, though."

  Delta pointed behind
them. "Take a left and go down the ladder on the right. Try not to spill the water and don't touch anything you don't have to."

  With directions in hand, Cal went in search of water and returned to Ty and Jax as quickly as he could. Despite their reluctant host's warning, Cal found some spare blankets and grabbed those too. He might not have been an expert on births, but he was pretty sure they were messy.

  "How are you doing, baby?" Cal asked as he kissed Jax on the forehead.

  "I'm good," Jax replied. "Now, both of you, stop worrying so much. I wasn't even as panicked as you two when I had my first litter."

  "You had a healer last time," Ty pointed out.

  "I'm not panicked," Cal added.

  Jax chuckled. "Just relax and we'll be fine." He rested his hand on his stomach. "All of us."

  Cal patted his shoulder and perched on the edge of the bed. In the meantime, Ty studied the instructions on the holo-projector and re-checked the medi-pack in case they were missing something they would need.

  Jax shifted a little, clearly trying to find a more comfortable position. Cal helped him with the pillows and held his hand as they waited for the next contraction.

  Cal glanced out of the porthole at the head of the bed. Behind them Lupalia grew smaller as they left the canine territories.

  *****

  By the time they arrived at the spaceport, some five days later, Jax had safely delivered his litter. The three babies were healthy, though Ty insisted they and Jax should be checked over by a healer once they docked.

  They had two sons and a daughter. The males were plain white and took after Jax. The female, however, had Lyndon's black and white patches.

  Jax adored them all and wouldn't let them out of his sight. He even appeared reluctant to go to sleep, irrationally afraid that he would wake to find them stolen from him too.

  "I'll stay awake while you sleep," Ty assured him.

  "You need your rest too," Jax reminded him.

  "I'm not tired," Cal said. "You two sleep and I'll keep watch."

  "Not exactly trusting, are you?" Delta commented as he appeared in the door. "Whichever of you plan on getting some sleep, I'd suggest doing it quickly. We're queued for docking. Time estimate is two hours."
