=========
Deep in the Ancient Forest, under the boughs of that shady demesne, Zack sought his mate.
He had wandered far from the Gongaga jungles in search of a suitable lover, but no one had met his designs. He didn’t consider himself to be picky, but there was a feeling he was waiting to experience. He had felt it once before in his youth, when his father had taken him and his family to a large gathering of the clans. Zack had gotten bored with the HOURS of introductions between the clans, and had wandered off into the forest. It was there he had ran into another youth, and the two had spent the day together, playing hide and seek.
He didn’t know the youth’s name, nor did Zack know if it had been a boy or girl, both of them being too young to easily distinguish such things. He hadn’t been able to even see his friend through the rest of the gathering. However, those things didn’t matter. What mattered, was the feeling Zack had possessed being around his friend. A tender fluttering of his heart, and complete enjoyment of what they were doing as long as they were together. It was a thrilling feel, and if he couldn’t get it with someone else, then he didn’t want to be with them.

It was late in the evening. Moonlight passing through the over hanging boughs making an odd labyrinth of light and shadow that Zack was strangely enjoying. Back in his youth, he used to sneak away from his parents on nights like this and go running through the jungle. He would stalk through the vines and leafs enjoying the way night cloaked the jungle, hiding some things and revealing others. Sometimes he would imagine himself hunting in the shadows…or perhaps, being hunted.
He had been wandering aimlessly, enjoying the evening for some time, when something filtered up his nasal cavities.
What was that smell? Something cinnamon, spicy and entrancing. He paused for a moment, wondering what it was that he had just caught a whiff of. What was it… *SNIFFF*.
Umm….that smelled really goooooddd.
Where was that coming from? Ahead of him something shifted through the bushes. Zack paused in surprise.
As he stood there taking a moment to process what was happening, that spicy cinnamon scent came wafting by again.
Hehehe, Zack’s mouth opened in a grin, Oh. I get it. I’d LOOOOVVEE to play…

Zack, still grinning, crouched lower to the grown and began creeping around the trees the other had passed behind. Keeping his ears alert, he was just able to hear the sounds of a light rustling as someone moved over the dry leaves of the forest. The smell was gaining in intensity. It was close. Zack’s toes twitched in anticipation, the sound of movement stopped.
Just a little more, Zack thought to himself. Planting his feet firmly planted, he braced himself then jumped around the tree and directly in front of his visitor. “HA!”
…
He stood there for a moment blinking like an owl, before it fully dawned on him that indeed there was nothing in front of him except the trunk of the ancient tree. A trunk most obviously devoid of any other occupants. Zack blinked a few times in confusion, he was sure that someone was here. Maybe it was a chameleon? But, hmmmm….that smell was still in the air. Wait, in the air…Zack craned his had higher just as a thin and agile form launched itself from the over head branches down into the shadows several trees away.
All Zack could see was the tufts of moon-washed gold as the other’s head passed through a moonbeam. He had seen enough, it was one of his kind, and it wanted to play. Zack sped off in pursuit, the cinnamon spice of the other racing in his veins. Where was it, where? Zack found himself giggling under is breath, caught up in a sudden fevered excitement.
There! A hint of pale gold disappearing behind a tree. Zack followed, but just a second too late. His prey was fast, and taunting.
He lost the golden one several times, but always was he drawn back by that irrefutable scent. He would sneak around the hiding spot of his prey, but always when he got there it was to see the hint of pale gold disappearing once more into the bushes. The sounds of the Golden one’s laughter teased him, and fresh plumes of that enticing scent whispered to Zack, ‘Come find me. You want me.’.

It was amazing to him how much he was enjoying this. It was what he was looking for, there could be no doubt. The golden one knew it too, and was relishing it as much as Zack was. It wanted to be caught though, Zack could feel it in his veins every time that spice flew his way. This was the feeling he had been waiting for, the joy and excitement. The complete enjoyment of being with this stranger. Now, Zack also knew there was something else he needed. He had felt after that first whiff, a strange and sudden tenseness in his groin. It wasn’t unpleasant, but it was awkward and distracting. A building need, that there was only one way to release.
They had been circling around through the forest for some time. Each enjoying the chase knowing that when it ended, there was something they both wanted more, when suddenly it happened.
The Golden one had hidden in a tree again, but this time as it attempted to leap free, Zack jumped up with a mighty leap, anticipating the golden one’s movements. He tackled the other in mid air, grappling with it to the ground, where they landed with a loud thump. Zack had lost his balance after the collision and turned quickly to locate his prey. There it was, another from the clans, just like himself. Only this one was smaller than Zack, more streamlined, a bit less muscle. They stood there for a moment, pale gold and ebon shadow, before the other started laughing.
“What?”
The golden one looked at Zack with amusement flickering through its sapphire orbs.
“Took you long enough.”
Zack smiled again in spite of himself, then squinted hard at his companion.
“You’re a boy.”
The other looked him up and down.
“Indeed, and so are you. Does that bother you?”
Zack paused, he knew his father had always told him he would take his journey to find a female mate, and indeed that had been his intent. But… A whiff of cinnamon and spice came from the golden one as he shifted, and Zack felt an answering stirring in his loins.
“No. No it doesn’t matter to me.”
The golden one laughed again.
“I should say not.” He said staring pointedly down at Zack’s crotch.
Zack looked down to, and then turned away a little embarrassed. He hadn’t realized he was THAT excited.
Because Zack was looking away, he wasn’t expecting it when he felt a warm and moist line of pleasure arc from the base of his erection and up to the tip.
He shuddered in sudden unexpected sensation and looked down to see the golden one lifting his head from the ebony shadow’s loins.
Sapphire eye’s looked into his, over the tip of his straining erection.
“I never said it was a bad thing.”
Zack’s eyes followed sapphire down the length of the golden one’s body where an answering erection shown.
“Nor did I say I was disinterested.” He said before his mouth opened and a long red tongue slid out to run it’s length once more along Zack’s manhood.
“Unnhhhh….” Zack moaned before he could stop himself. “Are you always this friendly?”
The other snorted, “No.”
“Wha… What’s your name?” He said, regaining his composure.
“My given name is Strife, but my true name is Cloud.”
“Yo… your only su…supposed to tell that to your mate…” Zack stammered.
Cloud stared hard into the eyes of his Ebon lover. “I just did.”
It was a surprising amount of pride, gratitude and adoration that welled up inside of him. He had done it!
“ZACK! My true name is Zack.”
Cloud gave a loving look to the ebon shadow, repeating Zack’s name as if savoring it.
“Zack….I have been waiting for you, for a long time.”
Cloud slid away from Zack, never losing eye contact, with a look that most certainly wasn’t demure or coy but caused an intense throbbing within his member.
“I want you Zack”
Zack gulped.
With a faint panting Cloud turned away and kneeled on the grass, raising his hips up into the air he turned his head around to look back at his ebony lover.
“I need you, Zack. I need you in me.”
Zack felt his jaw drop even as his swollen erection did a happy dance in his lap.
Cloud stared into Zack’s eyes, pleading.
“It’s been so long Zack, and I have been so horny waiting for you. Please don’t keep me waiting.
Please…”
As he spoke, Cloud’s hips undulated back and forth, his pelvis thrusting softly in expectation.

Zack’s mouth had gone dry. He tottered unsteadily to his feet. There was a big difference between knowing what you wanted and having it happen to you, he had discovered. Cloud’s passion laden confession was the most arousing thing he had ever experienced, and staring at the golden creature before him, he wanted nothing more than to take him up on his offer, and he would be damned if he was going to keep his mate waiting.
There was a slight gasp from Cloud as Zack slid up against him. Zack’s swollen member pressing full between the cleft of Cloud’s open invitation, butting up against his golden tail feathers.
Cloud pushed backwards, grinding against the resistance, moaning from the friction. An electric shiver ran through his body before he whispered softly, “Please…”
Zack, bent his knees, and slid his hips back till he felt the tip of his erection resting on the lip of Cloud’s entrance. Hot with anticipation, his blood dancing in the air from Cloud’s musk, Zack slid inside.

Zack moaned and at the sudden unexpected intensity, as a hot wetness enclosed the entire length of his shaft. Tight! It was like a hand squeezing his entire length.
Underneath him, Cloud gasped in sudden pain, squirming, his talon’s digging funnels into the earth as he shifted his feet.
“Sorry.” Zack cried then tried to back away.
“NO!” Cloud squawked. “No… don’t leave. Just slowly, slowly…” He settled himself closer to the ground raising his rear higher for Zack’s ease. “Slowly..”
Taking his time, the ebon shadow slid back carefully from Cloud. The moonlight glittered over the moisture on his member as most of the length came free.
Cloud whimpered a little bit, feeling his lover’s withdraw. But that quickly became a low moan of satisfaction as he felt the return. A warm sword piercing to the heart of his pleasure center. It was a bit uncomfortable, but as he felt Zack’s warmth filling him up inside a warm tingling seemed to radiate outward through his body that was making the discomfort go away, and robbing him of breath.

The golden creature lay underneath Zack panting low and husky. His hips butted up against Zack’s, as Cloud pressed back against him. Each impact driving a low moan from his lover.
He couldn’t believe it! Zack had never felt something this GOOD!
He was having serious difficulty keeping it slow. The hot spice in his nose was firing through his blood stream, and the sweet sounds of pleasure coming from his mate made him want to clamp down on Cloud’s neck and really pound out some music from him!
He could feel the Golden beauty beneath him loosening up, what an amazing creature he was, the delicate golden feathers, and the long supple neck. He seemed fragile, and Zack was trying struggling valiantly to restrain himself from going to hard and breaking him. Cloud however had other plans.
“Harder. Oh please! HARDER!”
“I can’t!..I don’t …want to …break you.”
With surprising flexibility Cloud’s swept his head around and bit Zack’s wing with surprising pressure.
“OW!!!”
Cloud growled between the feathers, “You fuck me now you bastard, or I will run again, and THIS time you WONT find me!!”
Well, Zack considered himself a fairly intelligent male, and his father had always said to listen to your mate. If Cloud thought he could take it, what kind of mate would he be not give his lover the best sex of his life?

It was great before. He could feel every one of Zack’s slow thrusts rising into him, sending waves of overlapping pleasure through him. It wasn’t painful anymore. He could feel his ebon lover’s member sliding with ease, but as Zack obeyed Cloud‘s command all of that changed.
Zack grunted softly as Cloud stopped biting his wing. Then there was an odd grunt and the sound of Zack’s feet shuffling. The next thing Cloud knew Zack was slamming up against him so hard that he was crushing Cloud’s chest into the ground. Above him, Zack began to pound the his lover like a rabid animal breathless with intensity, focused only on going as deep, as hard, and as fast as he could.
Cloud’s toes gouged into the earth, as his legs threatened to buckle under Zack‘s assault, and Cloud was reduced to a panting pile of feather’s barely able to participate.
“Hol…”
*SLAM!*
“…y,”
*SLAM*
“GODS!”
Cloud cried out in ecstasy as Zack lost it. The larger Ebon shadow pounding into his golden lover like hammer. Berserk unto the need to posses and feel every fiber of his lover, to fill him with his love in the most intimate of ways.
Cloud stopped even trying to think, it was to intense. It was like Zack had found the pleasure button inside him, and was pushing the thing as hard and as fast as he could. He didn’t care about being quiet. He didn’t care if someone heard him. He simply couldn’t contain the pressure that was building within him.
“GODS YES! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEEEEAAASSSEEE!!!!…
Cloud’s body suddenly snapped as stiff as a board, as all of his muscles locked against the flood of heat that washed through him.

Zack had been trying to hold back for some time. It had felt as if Cloud’s whole body was sucking on him, and demanding a release, but he wouldn’t listen. It wasn’t until Cloud came that he let loose. With a cry of his own the ebon shadow felt his knees giving out beneath him, as a terrible trembling took over his body. Liquid warmth ran through his him shooting down the length of his shaft and erupting into his golden lover. With a sigh of release Zack collapsed on top of Cloud, and the two toppled over into the leaves and grass, panting in the wake of their exertions.
Still gasping air Zack craned his neck so that he could rub his beak against the golden one’s. In their nestled embrace he could feel the faint twitching of his lover’s feet as they scratched the earth, the slight rustling of his wings and the gentle sound of moans escaping as after shocks washed over Cloud’s form.
Oh yeah, Zack was very pleased with himself.
“That was amazing…”
Cloud open his mouth in a smile, “I thought ‘you’ were pretty amazing.”
Zack tilted his head to rub his beak against Cloud’s. “It was my first time, you know.”
Cloud made a deep ummmmhhh noise in his throat before looking sincerely at Zack, “You are my only one. I have waited for you for so long.”
Zack’s eyes narrowed. “You said that before. What do you mean?”
Cloud stared at Zack a minute, dumfounded. Then sapphire eye’s winked mischievously in the moonlight. “You really don’t remember do you? We met so long ago, at the gathering of the clans.”
“Wait, I only met…” Zack’s mind thought back, the pale yellow plumage of his youthful friend could have darkened into…, “Yo..YOU!”
“…me.” Cloud giggled looking surprisingly satisfied.
“But…but I never even knew your name.”
“Nor I yours, but I never forgot you, and when I was old enough I set out looking for you. You’ve changed, but I recognized you in an instant.”
Zack turned his head to the side, hiding his face.
“What is it?”
“I…It’s just, when I left my clan looking for a mate, I kept thinking how I wanted those same feelings I had had long ago with the youth in the forest.”
The golden one just chuckled as he curled up next to his shadow. “Just think about how much fun we can have now…”
Zack’s head suddenly snapped to attention, and his eyes got bright and sparkly.
“Hey Cloud…”
“Hmm…” Came a contented query from his lover.
“You want to go again…”
