They quickly found a rhythm, Jason withdrawing from Anthony before pushing himself back in and moaning at the amazing feelings of pleasure that rushed through his body. He gripped Anthony’s hips harder, thrusting in and out with more force making Anthony shudder and whimper with more urgency. Jason knew they were both still sensitive from the orgasms that had wracked their bodies a short while ago, but that didn’t stop him from moving faster and faster as the feral heat began to overwhelm him. Everything Anthony did egged him on and made him want more. Every sound Anthony made, be it a moan, gasp or grunt, it all seemed to reach into his brain and make him hunger for more. He was aware of his own sounds the growls, and churrs that slipped past his mouth as he sped up thrusting in and out of Anthony’s body. All the while Anthony’s inner muscles clenched and unclenching sending even stronger waves of pleasure through Jason's body. It felt incredible.
Anthony was tighter and warmer than anything girl he’d ever fucked before. It was almost mind numbing how amazing it felt to be buried up to his hilt inside Anthony’s quivering twitching body. He grunted gripping Anthony’s hips harder, as he drew closer and closer to his limit. The heat was inside his body now, making him pound in and out of Anthony like a wild animal. He panted, gripping Anthony’s hips so tightly that he had no doubt they would bruise. Under him Anthony moaned and groaned, showing no signs of discomfort or pain from the rough treatment he was getting; something that egged Jason on even further.
He let himself go; pounding in and out of Anthony with a kind of desperation he rarely felt. “So good.”
Underneath him he felt Anthony shudder, a ripple running through his entire body as he buried his face against the pillows and blankets; a ragged and echoing moan escaping his mouth. Instantly his inner muscles tightened; making Jason grunt and shudder for a moment before his own orgasm slammed into him; again he buried himself as deep in Anthony’s body as he could get. His head snapped back and a mixture of a feral growl and a chur left his mouth as he emptied himself into Anthony’s body.
His heart hammered in his chest, while his arms shook slightly from how tightly he was holding onto Anthony’s hips. Every muscle in his body was tight and hot, each of them screaming out as wave after wave of numbing pleasure rushed through him. This orgasm didn’t last as long as the first one and soon enough Jason felt fatigue grip his body and pull at him. He groaned, leaning forward to bury his face against Anthony’s shell for a moment as he slowly withdrew from Anthony’s body. A moment later they both collapsed into a sweating, shuddering heap on the bed. For several minutes they lay like this, tangled in each other’s limbs trying to catch their breath.
Jason's head swam. ‘did I really just……….fuck Anthony…….and like it?’
He blinked, slowly looking over at Anthony whose eyes were closed as he gasped for breath, his face still resting against the blankets and pillows of the bed. After several moments Anthony spoke without opening his eyes. “That……was……….amazing.”
Jason groaned slowly moving so his arms and legs were no longer tangled up in Anthony’s. “Y…yeah.”
He smiled sheepishly at Anthony, unsure of how he was supposed to act right now. He watched as Anthony shifted, turning on his side so he could look at Jason. After several moments of silence Jason spoke. “So…….now what?”
Anthony shrugged. “Whatever you want. We could go again, we could rest……you could freak out and run away. It’s all up to you.”
Jason bit his lip, struggling with the complex wave of emotions that washed through him. On one hand he was freaking out. He’d fucked a guy; but not just any guy, his brother’s therapist. On the other hand though……he’d loved it. He bit his lip trying to make up his mind. He flinched as he felt Anthony touch his hand. “Hey……if you want……while you make up your mind……you could sleep here tonight.”
He looked at Anthony who wore a gentle and concerned look on his face. “it’s really late……and……….just until you make up your mind about what you want to do?”
he slowly nodded, watching as Anthony got up off the bed before motioning for Jason to do the same. He watched as Anthony pulled the first blanket, the covered in their sum and sweat, off the bed before tossing it into the corner. “Ok.”
Slowly Anthony moved, climbing in under the remaining blankets; watching as Jason slowly did the same. As Jason covered himself in the blankets he moved to Anthony, intending to wrap his arms around the purple turtle’s shoulders only to stop as Anthony spoke. “D...Don’t.”
he blinked at Anthony confused. “Don’t…..don’t what?”
he watched as Anthony took a small breath. “Don’t……don't hold me while we sleep.”
Jason felt his heart clench. Did Anthony regret what they had just done? “W…why not?”
he watched as Anthony took another breath his sides shaking slightly. “Because….. if you do then I won’t be able to let you go. I……I won’t be able to come back from that.”
Jason bit his lip but nodded, moving back over to his side of the bed while Anthony curled up into a small ball under the blankets. “G…goodnight Anthony.”
A moment later Anthony responded. “Goodnight Jason.”
A moment later the light flicked out bathing the room in darkness. Jason shifted trying to get comfortable. He laid on his left side, his back, his stomach, his right side, nothing felt comfortable to him; they were all too……empty. He bit his lip; he wanted to hold something to feel something against his chest. Yet he had to respect Anthony’s wishes. Groaning to him Jason tried again to get comfortable only to open his eyes as Anthony spoke. “H…here.”
He felt Anthony give him something; a pillow. Clutching the pillow against his chest Jason spoke. “Th….thanks.”
Anthony didn’t respond, only letting out a muffled sound before going silent. Clutching the pillow against his chest Jason closed his eyes and willed himself to sleep. In the back of his mind however he could not help but wish that it was Anthony who was against his chest and not this pillow.
CHAPTER 8
Breakfast was an odd affair. All around them patrons of the diner eat and chatting; seemingly without a care in the world. In front of him Alex watched as Leo stirred his oatmeal absentmindedly. He’d been doing that for several minutes now, pushing the slushy grains around without actually eating any of them. Alex himself had practically inhaled the waffle, eggs, and hashbrowns that he had ordered. Now he sat watching as Leo continued to stir his food, a look of reserved fear flickering across his face. “Leo…..”
Alex kept his voice soft so as not to startle Leo; but also so as not to let anyone else here him. Leo looked up at him, his eyes that of someone who was scared and confused. “I’m……..I’m not hungry.”
Leo pushed the bowl away from him before sighing and draining the cup of coffee he’d gotten with his food. Alex sighed; wishing he could reach across the table and hug Leo without drawing the attention of everyone in the diner. As it was all he was able to do was to move his foot so it rested against Leo’s; who smiled weakly at him. “Come on…….let’s get this over with.”
Paying the bill Alex and Leo left the diner, before getting into their car and driving away. Driving down the road Alex could not help but watch as Leo drove. Leo’s jaw was set, a kind of sternness had settled over his body making him ridged and tense. Alex could practically feel the nervous energy running off of Leo in waves. He wanted to say something, something to cheer Leo up. Yet try and se might he could not think of anything to say that would make Leo smile or be happy.
They drove for several minutes in silence, which ended as they turned into the hospital parking lot. As they pulled into a parking space Leo shifted; reaching over to touch Alex’s hand gently. “Alex…….I…….I need to say something to you.” Alex bit his lip, watching as Leo took several deep breaths before speaking. “I need you to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt. No matter what……no matter what happens or is said in there……I love you.” As he spoke L
eo squeezed Alex’s hand. He watched as Leo took several more breaths. “I love you so much Alex. But…….but my father……he has a way of….making me flip out. And I…….I don't want you to get scared if…..if I do. So………” Again Leo squeezed his hand. “I need you to do something for me.”
Alex nodded. “Anything Leo. Anything.”
Leo smiled weakly at him. “If I tell you to leave, you have to go. Don't argue or ask me what’s wrong just……just come back here to the car and wait for me. Ok?”
Alex nodded. “Ok. But……but only if you understand something.”
Leo bit his lip but nodded as Alex spoke. “I’m your boyfriend. And I will always stand by your side. Ok?”
Leo’s response was to lean over and kiss him gently. When they broke apart Leo rested his forehead against Alex’s, gently stroking his cheek with his thumb. “I love you so much Alex. But…….but I’m scared of what you’ll do when you see this…….this darkness that is in my family.”
Alex reached up cupping the hand that was stroking his cheek. “I’ll face it with you. That’s what I’ll do. I’ll stay with you until you tell me not to. Ok?”
They kissed again, breaking apart only when they moved to get out of the car and walk up the steps to the hospital. The lobby was moderately busy. All around them family of patients sat in small chairs waiting to be called back or given information about their loved one’s condition. Dozens of doctors and nurses moved through the lobby, some of them sitting with families explaining what was happening, while others led families in an out of the lobby.
Moving up the front desk Leo smiled weakly at the female deer who sat on the other side. “My name is Leo Baker. I’m here to see my father.”
The deer smiled and nodded at him. “Ok. Can I see your ID?”
Leo nodded and dug out his wallet before handing his driver’s license over to the deer who checked it against the hospital’s files before handing it back to him and smiling again. “A nurse will be with you in a moment to take you to your father.”
Leo again smiled weakly at her. “Thank you.”
Taking a seat in one of the chairs Leo took several deep breaths, smiling weakly as Alex who shifted to hold his hand. “Just be brave Leo.”
Leo chuckled. “I’m trying Alex. I’m try-”
but his words were cut off as a nurse; a small female human walked up to them and spoke. “Mr. Leo if you’ll follow me I’ll take you to your father. Who…..is this?”
she sounded a little confused as he eyes fell on Alex who shifted slightly uncomfortable with the suspicious look he was getting. Deciding on a small lie Leo spoke. “This is my son, Alex. He’ll be following us. I want him to meet his grandfather before……..before it’s too late.”
Instantly the human’s expression changed from suspicious to compassion. “Oh….ok. If you’ll both follow me I’ll take you to him.”
Following the nurse out of the lobby Leo and Alex allowed themselves to be led through the maze of while hallways and corridors while all around them doctors, nurses, patients, and patient’s family members went about their own business. After several moments of moving through the spider web of corridors they came to a stop in front of a room with a small window that looked out into the hallway and a plain wooden door. The human turned to them and spoke “good luck.”
Before either of them could respond she was gone, fading into the crowd of other nurses and doctors. Alex shifted, taking Leo’s hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. “Are you…….are you ready for this?”
Leo bit his lip, closing his eyes for a moment and he readied himself. “I guess we’ll find out.”
When he spoke there was a firm and slightly angry tone in his voice. “I’m going to tell him exactly what I think of him and then we’re going to get as far away from this town as we can.”
He didn’t wait for Alex’s response instead he moved forward gripping the door handle and pausing just long enough to take a deep breath before turning the knob and speaking as the door swung open. “Hello dad it’s been a long…….”
But Leo’s words trailed away into nothing as his eyes took in the scene in front of him. In front of him lying in the hospital bed was his father; yet at the same time it was not the man he remembered being his father. When he’d left home his father had been almost 400 pounds of reptilian muscle all wrapped up in blue skin, which towered almost 2 feet taller than Leo. But the man who now lay in the bed was a frail and weak man. Despite the anger he felt towards his father Leo felt his breath hitch in his chest as his eyes roved over his father’s thin arms, waxy skin and emaciated body. “D….dad?”
his voice shook as he spoke. There had to be a mistake, some kind of mix up. This man couldn't be his father. His father looked nothing like this person. His father was huge, taller and stronger too then Leo had ever been. And yet as he stood there in the doorway he somehow knew this was not a mistake, that the lizard lying in the bed in front of him was in fact his father. Behind him Alex spoke softly. “He’s…..not a turtle?”
Alex’s voice shook Leo from his thoughts, making him turn to Alex and shake his head. “No…..he’s a blue lizard.”
Alex looked at him a little confused. “But…..why are you green…..and a turtle? Wouldn’t you be some kind of hybrid?”
Leo smiled weakly at Alex. “I’m going to guess you fell asleep in health class when they were explaining how reproduction works. Anthros like you and me; people who aren’t human, we don't get 50% of our DNA from both parents. We get 25% from our fathers and 75% from our mothers. Because of this children are almost always the same species as the mother. My mom was a turtle; your mom was probably a turtle.”
Alex nodded, shifting his eyes back to Leo’s father. Slowly they moved into the room, the door closing behind them. Alex bit his lip, watching as Leo slowly moved across the room to the side of the bed. “Leo……?”
Leo didn’t seem to hear him as his eyes raked his father’s skinny and frail form. “D…..dad?”
his voice shook against his will as he spoke. He’d expected to march into the room, to shout, yell and curse his father’s existence, but now……he bit his lip as his eyes roved over his father’s skin. Before the blue skin had been shiny and slick, almost like it was covered in oil. Now though his father’s skin was a dull blue color, the shine almost completely gone. Next to the bed a series of small machines beeped and quipped, showing that his father was still alive but very weak. While another machine helped his father to breath; each breath making his father’s body shake slightly. He bit his lip, unsure of what to say or do.
He’d expected his father to yell at him, to demand to know why he was there or yell at him to get out. Somehow the silence was louder than any shout or yell his father could have made. He opened his mouth but closed it a moment later. He didn’t know what to say. He didn’t know what to do. He slowly looked up at Alex who was watching him from the other side of the bed. “He……..he……”
Leo felt his throat tighten as he tried to voice the mix of emotions that rushed through his body. “He’s……..so……..small.”
he choked out the words, barely able to speak them. Across from him Alex opened his mouth to speak only to be cut off as the door to the room opened. A moment later a cold female voice spoke. “What are you doing here?”
Leo bit his lip, willing himself to remain calm as he turned and looked at the female lizard who had stepped into the room. “Hello……….Minerva. It’s been a while.”
Minerva pursed her lips together before stepping into the room. Her voice was colder when she spoke, and also contained an air of sharpness to it. “I asked you what you were doing here.”
Leo’s eyes narrowed slightly as he found Minerva’s tone to be a little too cold. He was making an effort to be polite, why couldn't Minerva do the same. “The hospital called me, and told me I might not have much time left.”
Minerva raised an eyebrow. “Still doesn’t explain why you’re here.”
&n
bsp; Closing his eyes for a moment Leo spoke. “There are things I want to say to him.”
Minerva raised an eyebrow. “Really? Is it to confess what a bastard son you’ve been? To beg his forgiveness for the hell you put him through. For embarrassing and humiliating him with your lifestyle?”
Leo bit his lip harder, his hands clenching into fists and he felt flares of anger ripple through him. “That is between me and him. It’s none of your business.”
Minerva’s posture stiffened. “None of my business? NONE OF MY BUSINESS? He’s my son. He worked so hard to raise you properly. To provide for you after your mother died. And all you did was hate and despise him.”
again Leo bit his lip. He knew Minerva was baiting him, but at the same time he couldn't stop himself from responding. “Really? Is that what he did? Cause I seem to remember him drinking until he could barely stand.”
Minerva’s eyes flashed in anger. “He drank because he was upset. And who could blame him? You made his life hell, always sneaking out in the middle of the night to drink and party. You were a bastard child, and all he ever did was try to bring you back to the proper path.”
This time Leo snarled. He felt anger ripple through his body making his voice louder then he’d meant it to be. “I WASN'T SNEAKING OUT TO PARTY AND DRINK. I WAS BEING MOLESTED BY MY TEACHER!”
across the room Minerva rolled her eyes. “Stop lying Leo. We both know you just said that so people would pay attention to you. You made the whole thing up.”
Leo could taste blood in his mouth as he felt his sides begin to shake in anger. “I DID NOT MAKE IT UP! I WAS BEING MOLESTED AND YOUR SON, MY FATHER BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF ME WHEN I TRIED TO GET HIS HELP TO MAKE IT STOP!”
Minerva again rolled her eyes. “Sometimes a person needs a good beating to help them tell the truth. I seem to recall you stopped lying to everyone after that.”
