Secrets of the Enslaved

Over the next couple months, the other three Nekos settled into their new home under the “rule” of their new Master fairly well. Nikki was actually a bit surprised at how well they settled in, considering their pasts, especially Jinxx’s, but was glad nonetheless. Other than when he’d first found Andy and the Neko he considered his own son started getting so close to him, he hadn’t seen a being of their species so happy.

Jinxx’s pregnancy was also progressing nicely and, thanks to an OB/GYN who specialized in dealing with Neko fertiles, they’d found out he was now almost four months along. He had a nice-sized baby bump for the stage of pregnancy he’d reached, and his morning sickness had finally slacked off. Instead of losing just about everything he tried to eat, he was only randomly feeling nauseous, but not actually getting sick from it. He was obviously feeling a lot better, even if he was more tired from carrying his and Jake’s kitten, and that made everybody in the household happy.

While most of the household was focused on the mated Nekos and preparing for their little one’s arrival, on top of having additions made to the house so there were more bedrooms, they didn’t really pay as much attention to the oldest and youngest Nekos. Andy and Ash had finally realized, after having to be separated when the latter went into heat and didn’t want to risk getting pregnant himself just yet, that they were, indeed, mates. They’d already gone through their mating ceremony when they finally told their Master what they’d figured out, and were growing closer still by the day. Still, there was too much to be done with the additions, both to the house and their little family, to really pay much attention.

However, that made them happier than they’d thought it would. No one really noticed when they snuck off to their room to cuddle, which usually led to other things. Andy was just glad that he’d found his other half, that they were joined in their own way for the rest of their breathing days. Besides, as a Dom, he wouldn’t have been able to disrespect, neglect, or harm the fertile; it just wasn’t in his blood to do such a thing. And thankfully, they had Jake and CC around to help with his protection.

“Mmm,” Ash murmured softly as he woke up one morning. He cracked open his eyes to see the long, black tresses of his mate from where his head rested on his chest.

“Mmm. Morning, Ashes,” the younger Neko murmured, cracking his own eyes open.

“Morning, Ands,” he answered, yawning softly. His ears tucked themselves back against his head as his jaw widened, then stood up again as he closed his mouth.

“You sleep good last night?” Andy asked, gently scratching behind his mate’s ears.

“Mmm hmm,” he murmured, purring softly. “I always sleep good in your arms.”

“Mmm. I’m glad to hear it,” the younger Neko purred in response, nuzzling his temple.

Since it was the period of day known as false dawn and the sun hadn’t yet begun its daily ascent, the two of them crawled out of bed and got ready to head downstairs. As always, they only pulled on boxers and pajama pants, seeing as how they were both nudists at heart and hated clothes. Once they were dressed about as well as they planned to be for the moment, they laced their fingers together and wrapped their tails around one another’s before heading down to the back deck.

Already there and seated in their usual manner were Jake, Jinxx, and CC, the other fertile curled up in his mate’s lap. They both had their hands on his growing belly in a loving, protective manner, the last Dom of their group having his tail curled up with the younger fertile’s. It showed just how close they were to one another, and brought smiles to their friends’ faces.

The small group greeted one another as Andy took a seat in a free patio chair, gently patting his lap as he beckoned his sweetheart to sit down. With his smile turning into a full-on grin, the older fertile sat down on his lap, purring softly once again as he snuggled up to him. The youngest Dom wrapped his arms protectively around him, gently resting his cheek against the top of his head. This made his mate purr even louder, which drew soft chuckles from their friends, but they were all glad to see them so happy together. It meant the chances of their relationship going South were slim to none, not that relationships did that very often after a pair realized they were mates, anyway.

Not long after, the sky began to lighten and turn various shades of purple, pink, and orange as the sun began its ascent over the horizon at last. All five pairs of eyes were glued to the sky as this happened, their smiles widening as the day began. Other than when they got to sit outside and watch the full moon traipse across the sky, this was their favorite time to be outside, especially with all of them together. None of them wanted their bonds to dissolve and cost them their friendships, or in Jake’s, Jinxx’s, Andy’s, and Ash’s cases, their mates.

“All right. Sun’s up, and a certain little one’s bugging me for food,” Jinxx chuckled once the sun was completely over the horizon.

“You should’ve said something already, sweetheart,” Jake scolded him halfheartedly.

“I wasn’t starving, and besides, I wasn’t really hungry till a couple minutes ago, Jakey,” the younger fertile laughed.

“You sure about that, Jinxxy?” he asked uncertainly. “I can’t have you and our kitten going hungry.”

“I’m sure,” he answered, his grayish-blue eyes sparkling with laughter.

The quintet headed inside to see that their Master’d already gotten up and made their breakfast while they were watching the sunrise, which was their norm. Andy’s and CC’s tuna and chicken salad were waiting for their arrival at their usual spots, as were Ash’s and Jake’s hickory-smoked turkey and grilled chicken sandwiches. However, despite having considered grilled salmon his favorite breakfast food before conceiving, Jinxx had a little bit of everything from the food pyramid waiting on his plate.

He had a bit of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast, but a pear and a few baby carrots waiting for him on his plate. The Doms, and even the older fertile, were a bit surprised when he started preferring what most full-blooded humans would for breakfast, but chalked it up to pregnancy cravings. They were actually lucky that he wasn’t craving anything worse than that, so long as he and the kitten were healthy.

Andy and Jake held their mates’ chairs out for them, making them smile their thanks at them as they blushed furiously for being treated like princesses. CC merely took his seat as he chuckled, causing their faces to flush an even deeper red as the other two Doms took their seats, as well. They all knew the laughter and teasing was all in good nature, so none of them were upset by it, especially the hormonal Jinxx. They’d just laugh off anything one of their friends said after feigning anger for a few moments, dig into their food again, and act like nothing had ever happened at all.

* * *

Over the course of that day after they’d finished breakfast, Ash had a bit unknowingly distanced himself from his mate and the others. He knew based on how horny he’d been since waking up that morning that he was fertile, and unless his Dom wanted the possibility of a kitten of their own to arise, he knew he had to keep his distance. Jake and CC had already commented on the pheromones they could sense wafting off him, so he knew that Andy could, too. Even Jinxx had been giving him a funny look from time to time, and he suspected even he could sense the pheromones due to his pregnancy-heightened senses.

Wanting to get away from their concern and knowing that it’d probably be for the best, the oldest Neko headed up to the room he now shared with his mate earlier than he normally would. He wanted to get himself locked away before he found himself in Jinxx’s place, not that he didn’t want kittens. No, he’d love to have at least one, but he wanted to be older than what he currently was before conceiving, much less giving birth.

However, he didn’t think his mate would take note of his absence as quick as he did, so Ash didn’t get their bedroom door locked and barricaded quick enough. He gasped when he felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his waist from behind, especially when he looked up in the mirror of his vanity table and into the icy-blue eyes of his mate. Andy’s eyes screamed that he was concerned about him, but he could also see a spark of lust there that, even without the prominent erection being pressed against his ass, scared the daylights out of him. He was a virgin in every sense of the word, despite having such a perverted dad and uncles, and while he’d like to take that next step with his Dom, he was too scared.

The young Dom gently nuzzled his temple, letting a soft purr rumble up from the back of his throat as he enjoyed the scent of his hair. It was obvious that he was doing his best to put Ash—and his mind—at ease, let him know he wouldn’t force him into anything he didn’t want, and it was working. The older Neko slowly relaxed into his embrace, purring when he felt his hands roaming over his torso in silent exploration. He gasped softly when he nuzzled a spot beneath his ear, then nipped it gently in a way that made him throb harder.

“Wh-what are y-you d-doing to m-me?” the older fertile stuttered, so aroused that he was losing control of his tongue.

“Nothing you don’t want,” Andy promised. “As much as I’ll hate to, if you tell me to stop, I will. I’m not gonna force you into something you don’t want.”

Ash turned and buried his face in his mate’s neck, inhaling the sweet cinnamon-and-vanilla scent that wafted around him.

“Do you want this, Ashley?” he asked, groaning as he nuzzled a particularly sensitive spot just beneath his jaw. “It should be pretty obvious that I do, but like I said, I’m not gonna force you to do something you’re not ready for.”

The older Neko took a moment to think about what his options were, his face remaining right next to his mate’s sweet spot. He could kick him out of their room and suffer the heat-induced arousal on his own, as he always did, simply because he was a virgin and terrified of being hurt. Or he could let him stay and very well give him his virginity this night, which might result in a kitten in just a few short months, and get at least a little relief from this biological torture.

“Yes, I want this,” he answered after mulling it over for a moment. “I’ve gone through this torture so many times since I started puberty that I can’t take it again.”

“You do realize that you could very well end up in Jinxx’s place if we go through with this, right?” the younger Neko asked.

“Of course. And while I’d like to be older than I am before conceiving, having a kitten with you might not be as bad as we could lead ourselves to think,” Ash said, grinning up at him.

“All right, Ashes. You asked for it.”

Before he could ask what he meant, Andy scooped him up bridal-style and carried him over to their bed, where he gently deposited him. He watched and waited patiently as he walked back over to their door, intending on locking the solid mahogany portal so they’d have no interruptions. Thankfully, Nikki’d had all the bedrooms soundproofed, so they didn’t have to worry about keeping their noise level down.

On his way back over to the bed, the youngest Dom shed his shirt and threw it on the floor next to their bed. Normally they weren’t messy in the least and their clothes went straight into the hamper as soon as they took them off, but in the throes of passion, they could care less; they’d take care of it the next morning. Ash was mesmerized by the soft, porcelain flesh that met his gaze as his mate crawled onto their bed. He didn’t get to see it for long, although he did get to run his hands up and down it as he caressed him, trying not to let his claws out so he wouldn’t hurt him.

Their make-out session quickly escalated and before long, they were both panting for breath and aroused beyond coherent thought. Andy paused before even attempting to stretch his sweetheart out, making damn sure that this was what he wanted before he actually did anything. The older fertile assured him that it was, that he needed this itch scratched before it damn near drove him insane once again. Nodding, he coated his fingers in a generous amount of lube before beginning to tease him in a whole new way.

Soft moans and groans interspersed with mewls and purrs bubbled up from Ash’s throat, letting his mate know that he was enjoying what he did to him. Even if the sounds he made didn’t clue him in, the fact that he grew even harder right in front of his eyes did. By the time he managed to get three fingers in him, Andy knew that it was likely safe to try something else, although he knew he’d still have to go slow. He asked his sweetheart if he was ready, waiting patiently for his nod before rubbing more lube on his erection. As gently as he possibly could, he took his love’s virginity once he’d lined himself up, although the tears of pain that welled up in his chocolate-brown eyes still broke his heart.

“I love you so much, Ands,” the older fertile whispered in his ear before he began to move. “Forever and always.”

“I love you just as much, Ashes,” he answered softly, giving him a sweet kiss before attempting to move. “Always and forever.”
