Egaran Stars - 74. Epilogue/Aedan's Aid

“I think I’m ready…”

Aedan held the door open for Galen, the tiger taking a deep breath as he looked at the Cervidas.

“For?” the deer prompted gently.

Three years of dancing around the subject. Three years of missing him, of missing the comfort he had provided. Galen had been with others; he was an Egaro after all. It wasn’t even his first time sleeping with Aedan for the camera. Everyone wanted to see the big strong tiger taking the deer, and he made sure to work that angle for the camera just as much as he worked up a submissive top for Iason.

But it had been three years, and he knew that being a top alone couldn’t work any more. He missed the connection he’d felt when Reinard had been in him, the love that had poured between them in their last coupling. And Aedan had offered that to him, when he was ready. The deer could give that to him, but not until the tiger asked for it himself.

And he was ready… or as ready as he felt he could ever be. No longer did it feel like he was betraying the Faro by having sex. His heart still ached for the fox who had entered his life like a hurricane, but Reinard was gone, and it was long past time for him to realize that.

“I want you to take me for this video,” the tiger said quietly.

Aedan followed him into the room, nodding to Ryan as the human set up the camera. He got a sly grin in return; the human always enjoyed watching Galen breed the deer, but it seemed it would be the other way around today.

“Galen, I can’t replace him. And I’m not going to try. You’re asking for me to fuck you, and I’ll do it gladly, but it will be a Cervidas fucking you, not a Faro,” the deer warned quietly.

Galen gritted his teeth, nodding slowly.

“I know. I know he’s gone. You don’t have to keep reminding me. Just… I need to get past this. I need to be taken. I don’t care if you want to dominate me, we can figure something out. But I need to give myself up. And you’re the only one I trust not to hurt me here.”

“Then as long as you understand what you’re getting, it will be my honour to serve you Galen,” the Cervidas smiled.

It didn’t take long to set up the bed, Ryan’s eye raising as Aedan lifted Galen’s tail. The Egaro hissed quietly at the unfamiliar sensation of lube running over his tailhole, and he clenched instinctively, despite an effort to remain loose for the deer.

“Massage first,” Aedan decided, motioning toward Ryan to get the camera going.

His fingers dug into the tiger’s back, slowly working the tension out of Galen’s body, helping him to relax. The deer’s long length rubbed over Galen’s cheek as he worked, the tiger groaning softly as the deer started up a quiet dialogue for their viewers.

“You just lay there and let the Cervidas pleasure you… I know just what you need to relax, to get away from your stress…”

Soft kisses ran down the tiger’s back, a heavy layer of deer covering him briefly like a tight warm hug. Strength poured into Galen, his emotions calming slowly as Aedan worked on calming him down.

Slowly, the Cervidas pulled away, his length slipping between the tiger’s cheeks to tease along his tailhole. Galen tensed again, then relaxed as hands gently kneaded into him, relaxing him slowly, until he felt like puddy under the deer’s touch.

The tip of Aedan’s rod slowly pressed into him, the tapered end gently spreading his hole open for the rest of the length, and Galen let out a sigh, silent tears running down his face as he gave himself up completely. What was once sacred to his bonded was free once more. His heart ached, and he knew it always would, but as the deer slid deeper into him, the tiger knew that he had started to move on, that he had opened himself to finding another partner.

And as the deer bottomed out, his warmth spreading into the tiger with every twitch of his spasming rod, Galen let a piece of himself go, let the loneliness he had carried with him escape. Aedan’s seed sprayed into him not a minute later, the deer rutting against him slowly, with heavy pants, and the tiger felt a smile slowly spread across his face. It was painful; surviving always was. But he didn’t have to do it alone anymore. For the first time in years, Galen was free.
