Chapter 7.

Finn's mind was whirling and clouding at the same time. Noni's mouth was soft and warm - and when Finn gasped, the feline's tongue surged in. It was a little rough, but it felt good twining around Finn's.

He sighed, lost in a sea of sensations. His hand eased into Noni's silky hair, brushing over his satiny ears, and smoothing down the fur on his spine.

The feline's cock was taut and hot against his pelvis, and Noni's hips started pressing and rolling. 

Noni's purr rumbled through them and the vibration ran through Finn's body in a rush of heat. The world tilted, and his back pressed into soft blankets, and Noni's slim shape settled above him.

Their mouths continued to work slickly against each other - tongues dancing in a delicious rhythm in time with their grinding hips.

Finn felt lightheaded with passion and his skin grew damp with arousal. Noni wrapped his hand around their cocks and pulled in firm, steady tugs. 

Finn's dick throbbed in those clawed fingers and he tore his mouth away to gasp in huge gulps of air.

Noni's rough tongue lapped down Finn's neck and tingling pleasure burst through him. He came with a choked cry and felt the feline shudder against him.

Hot slick spurted onto his skin and Noni relaxed on top of him, smearing the spend on their bellies. 

Finn kissed the feline's damp temple and felt his heart surge with happiness. Noni's head turned and their lips met; the exploration now soft and gentle. 

"I want you to stroke your face against mine." Noni murmured against Finn's mouth, sooty lashes brushing the Human's cheek as he blinked.

Finn simply turned his head and smoothed his cheek against Noni's silky one.

The feline gave a delighted purr and his arms tightened.

"Again." He demanded and the Human obliged him.

"Do it often." Noni whispered against the corner of Finn's mouth, making him shiver. 

He tilted his head and kissed Noni's full pink lips again, glorifying in the fact that he could, and ran his hands over the smaller boy's velvety fur.

Noni's hands, that had been stroking leisurely, suddenly shifted and caught Finn's wrists, pressing them into the blanket on either side of his head.

Finn pulled back just enough to meet Noni's eyes with a questioning look. The feline smiled down at him and his tail swished.

"Just let me." Noni breathed and kissed down Finn's neck. 

The Human closed his eyes and let his body go soft and pliant.

"That's it." Noni's tongue laved over Finn's collarbone, and it was tempting to simply drift in pleasure, but there was one thought nagging at him.

"What changed?" Finn whispered.

Noni lifted a fraction to watch him through heavy lidded eyes. 

"I wasn't myself back there." He murmured. "I was like a cub wanting only affection and attention. The idea of sex or power held no appeal. But now." Noni's thumbs stroked over Finn's wrists. "Now I want to mark. To claim. You're so wonderful Finn. So loving." Noni kissed him deeply and pressed their softening shafts together. 

"When I first saw you I wanted your gentleness. Your kindness. Now I want all of you." Noni nipped Finn's neck and breathed hard against the tight area where Liler had bitten. Finn shuddered and not entirely with pleasure.

"Noni..." He breathed and a growl rumbled through the feline.

"I can smell him on you." Noni muttered against his throat.

"Don't..." Finn protested, but Noni mouthed his neck harder, sharp teeth teasing the skin.

"Noni...you're scaring me." Finn whispered and drew in a sharp breath as those teeth bit down lightly.

A fine trembling started throughout Finn's body and his eyes filled.

"S...stop!" A sob caught in his throat and Noni silenced him with a single hard kiss, before returning to his throat. 

"I said stop! Noni don't!" He cried, breaths coming fast as tears ran down his face. Dark memories swamped him and his neck and backside ached with the reminder.

Shame. 

Fear. 

Agony. 

Noni bit down hard and the Human screamed.

Within a few beats the door banged open. Lord Ferrer took one glance at them and bellowed his son's name.

Iadin appeared by his side almost instantly.

"Control your pets!" Ferrer ordered and Iadin took in the scene before groaning. 

Noni lifted his head from a sobbing Finn and glanced over his shoulder, lips bloody and teeth bared in a snarl.

Iadin surged forward and grabbed Noni by the scruff of his neck.

Noni yowled and twisted in the larger alien's grip, swiping with his sharp claws.

Iadin yelped as Noni tore four bloody lines down his thigh, before the feline's arms were snagged tight.

Iadin glared at Finn, as the boy curled in on himself, then turned to his father.

"I'm getting rid of the Human!" He spat.

Ferrer folded his arms and stared his son down.

"You will do no such thing. How can I expect you to rule after me, if you can't manage three unruly pets?"

Noni snapped his teeth and Iadin's mouth tightened. 

"Can I at least have some Etional?" He whined.

Ferrer raised one disdainful brow in clear refusal and left the room.

Iadin huffed in annoyance, held a hissing Noni at arms length, and rushed down the hall.

Finn remained on the floor. His sobs were quieting and he stared blankly at the wall, feeling distant and cold. Blood trickled from his throat with each breath and his teeth chattered.

He heard footsteps and whimpered when Iadin's gold painted feet reappeared before him. The alien crouched down and scowled. 

"Stop crying!" Iadin ordered and a fresh well of tears immediately poured down Finn's cheeks.

Iadin pressed two fingers between his eyes, and scrunched his brow, as he took several deep breaths. His hand lowered and he stared at Finn with a calmer expression.

"Let's see to that bite." The alien said and Finn flinched as he was lifted.

His head was pressed against Iadin's chest, a gold piercing digging into his cheek, and he felt about as safe as a glass in a toddler's hands.

Iadin walked into an adjoining room and Finn had a brief impression of blue and gold mosaics surrounding a pool, before he was placed on a warm stone ledge.

Iadin turned, letting Finn's legs dangle precariously over the edge, while he opened a cupboard and pulled out supplies.

A large hand grasped the Human's head and the blood was wiped from his neck. Finn winced with each swipe and kept his eyes fixed on the pale yellow shoulder in front of him. A mist was sprayed over the wound and it began to itch. His head twitched and Iadin stilled the movement.

"Leave it." The alien said quietly. 

For all his brashness Iadin's touch was gentle when he smoothed a bandage into place. Finn's heart rate eased a little.

"What about here?"

Finn's trembling immediately started again as a deft hand parted his legs. Iadin snorted at the drying cum on the boy's stomach and Finn whimpered when fingers brushed over his rim.

"No tearing. It can't have been all bad." Iadin cocked a wry brow and wiped his hands.

Finn hunched his shoulders and shielded his crotch pathetically.

"Stop that." Iadin said irritably, moving the smaller boy's arms effortlessly and lifting him from the ledge.

Finn felt his throat constrict at the arms closing firmly around him and his breaths became ragged.

Iadin grumbled as he waded into the pool and sat in the water, carting his fingers through the Human's hair.

Finn's gasps were fast becoming sobs and Iadin sighed loudly. The arms around him gentled and warm lips pressed against his temple.

"Shhh." Iadin soothed, long fingers kneading down Finn's back and up again. "You're safe. All is well."

Finn continued sobbing, muscles tight and unyielding. Iadin simply kept stroking and massaging, heartbeat steady beneath Finn's ear. 

Gold oil lamps sweetened the air and the warm water was silky against his skin. After a long while the tautness in his shoulders eased and his head lolled forwards.

"Good boy." Iadin whispered and a kiss brushed over Finn's brow.

Iadin stepped out of the pool and moved onto a drying crate, similar to the ones in Keafule. Finn sighed, feeling his swollen eyes sting and turned his face into the long neck beside him.

The alien smelled faintly of spices - a strange blend Finn vaguely compared to vanilla and cloves. Iadin hummed softly and his hand stroked over Finn's spine. 

"Are you done in there?" Acitu screeched from the adjoining room and Finn gasped, jolting hard.

Iadin cursed and stepped off the crate, glaring daggers at his sister.

She folded her arms and glared right back.

"Your Ytra are making a racket next to my room!" She snapped.

Finn's trembling started again and Iadin scowled.

"My hands are full. Deal with them yourself!" He retorted, striding past her. She followed close at his heels, talking fast.

"You need to learn to multitask. You can't just abandon one task for another!"

"You acquire three charges and let's see how you deal with it!" Iadin snarled.

"They're your pets! How are you ever going to be head of Kontor, if you can't even handle a couple of..." Her words cut off as Iadin gestured sharply and she flew towards the open door. 

Acitu caught herself on the door-frame and stared at her brother, glowing eyes wide.

"You're not allowed to use forces on me! Not outside the training courts!" She yelled.

"Oh, shut up!" With a second wave the door slammed shut in her face, narrowly missing her fingers.

Iadin took a deep breath and collapsed back against a large bed with plum colored sheets and gold patterns. Finn sniffled and Iadin arranged the Human more comfortably against his chest. Finn's face was pressed into a fragrant neck and the alien's hand resumed stroking his back in that soothing rhythm. 

"Sleep now." Iadin murmured. 

The larger boy was wonderfully warm and Finn's frayed nerves finally reached a peak of exhaustion and his eyes slid shut.
