Erwer, Virta 5, 0229

    Among the worn mountains of Piter Range, the crisp cool air 
carried to my nostrils the scents of pine and ash and the spoor of 
animals, but more importantly it carried...

    Gotcha, ya little minx, I thought to myself.  I bet you thought 
you'd lost me last night.  Guess again.

    I resettled the heavy backpack I'd been carrying, checked the 
flag that I had to be wearing according to the rules, and settled 
into a comfortable hike.  She was still way ahead of me, and she 
might even be distancing me.  I had two more days, at this pace, 
before she crossed the border and was home free.  I had to get her.

    Capture the flag.  Whoever she was, she had managed to get 
freedom for her compatriots, and they had been let loose, flagless.  
By the rules, they had to walk back to their territory, and 
considering it's a ten-day walk back to their campsite, they 
weren't in for a lot of fun.  They had to go as a group, and would 
be fed and provided packs for the journey.  One catch, though... 
The breaker was not under the rules.  She had her flag, and had to 
make her way back home, while every member of my team that wasn't 
involved in infiltration and recon was after her.  And I had her.  
I had almost lost her last night.  But I could smell her in the 
woods.  She'd been forced back down off the treeline, and I might 
be able to get to her unseen.

    I knew that down that ridge, over to my left, there was a good 
facing to the small vale beyond the Piters.  I headed for it, 
climbing over rocks and fording a small stream.  I reached it.

    The view was magnificent but I ignored it.  Beyond was the vale 
that led to a crook, beyond which was a plain.  The plain was about 
a three-day hike across, but my prey might not know where the 
border was.  I looked with my binoculars, scanning the field before 
me.  No, she had not reached the plain, not yet at any rate.  She 
was still in the treeline.  But before dark she would break the 
treeline; After that I would be able to move only at night, because 
she would have an enormously free field of vision to see me in.  
Even that was risky.

    I ducked back spinward and began an easy run, trying to make up 
for lost time.  Last night I'd masked my scent by making my bed in 
a cave, and I knew that this Felinzi had lost me.  This morning, 
the winds had changed, and I was the beneficiary.  I could smell 
her, but not her me.  I smiled at the thought.  Sometime last night 
I'd disappeared.  She must have thought I'd gotten down through the 
aspin pass, which was a shorter route.  She would still be 
concerned that I would make the treeline and spot her before she 
did.  Or I could even be waiting, lying in the tall grass of the 
border plain.

    I made an easy path and careened past the evergreens and moss 
covered rocks and I reached the approximate edge of the forest 
about three hours before dark.  Damn.  She was going to make good 
head time.  I pulled out the binoculars and adjusted them.  The 
lenses are made up of oil suspended in forcefields; they can be 
computer-adjusted to any resolution, and are much finer than glass 
or plastic.  I looked out and adjusted the feed to I/R.  Gotcha.

    She was ahead by a distance.  About two hours, I'd say, and 
making way through the knee-high grass slowly, carefully.  That's 
it, I thought, take it careful; I might be hiding in the grass 
ahead of you.  Oh, by the way, paranoia will wear you out faster, 
sweetheart.

    I watched carefully, ducking behind the large rock I'd found 
only when she turned to scan my area with her binoculars.  I waited 
patiently, timing on my chrono for twenty minutes, then returning 
to look over the rock.  I was lucky; never once did she spot me, or 
so I hoped.

    Dark came, the shadow edge passing slowly, darkening the plain.  
Clouds approached, dark storm clouds that threatened heavy rains.  
As they approached, the temperature soared.  As soon as it was as 
dark as it could get, I started running again.  Her scent was easy 
to catch now that the only thing between her and I was the grass.  
At this point it was a race between her and I and exhaustion; I 
hoped I was up to it.  I grabbed some mixed grains out of a pouch 
on my pants and ate as I walked.

    The hours wore on.  I lost sight of her, but soon spotted 
something odd in the grass ahead; a somewhat horizontal slot in the 
pattern of grasses; she'd lain down and gone to sleep!  Silly girl, 
overconfidence will be your loss.  But I felt tired myself.  But 
not tired enough to make my way towards her.  The next half hour 
was long and careful, because I abandoned my backpack and anything 
else that might make noise and crept up on her silently in the 
light shoes I'd brought along just for this situation.  I stayed 
downwind of her, and the wind stayed my friend.  I approached 
within a hundred meters, fifty meters.  What if it's a fake, I 
suddenly thought?  I hadn't seen her on the plain for a while, but 
still...

    No, it wasn't.  I could still smell her.  Twenty meters.  The 
wind now carried the sound of her breathing.  I crept up a little 
closer.  This was going to be too easy.  Ten meters.  Five.

    I crawled on hands and toes towards her, making my way.  She 
was still there, still asleep.  I tapped her on the shoulder.

    She awoke with a start and exploded in her sudden effort to 
escape.  I plunged my hand down into her sleeping bag and struggled 
with her.  She grabbed me, tried to shove me away, but I held tight 
with my right arm as the left sought for, found, and pulled away 
her flag.  She shoved, and I released her, falling backwards, the 
flag in hand; she went running, and I finally got a good look at 
her face.  "Hi, Tarrette."

    I whistled, and she stopped, turned, looked, saw the flag.  She 
threw her arms out in frustration and walked back towards me.  
"Gotcha," I said as she walked back.

    "How did you find me?" she said.

    "I've been behind you all the time."

    "But, I lost you last night.  There's no way..."

    "Slept in a cave, Tarr."

    She growled.  "I should have thought of that."

    "Hey, I almost lost you.  But the last few hours were pretty 
easy.  Makes up for that terrible day you gave me over Piter Pass."

    She smiled.  "I bet you just hated that."

    "It was cold, rocky, and annoying."

    "Ah, you skins are all alike."

    "And you furries can be annoying," I said, still smiling.  "But 
that's okay.  At least I got you.  Least I can do.  You released 
twelve people!"

    "Good.  By the time we get to your camp they'll be back at 
mine, preparing to wreak havoc.  By the way, we know where your 
flag is."

    "So what?  We know where yours is, too.  The tough part is 
getting it.  You know Irene stocked this game so that there's not 
enough people to both guard the flags and make offensives."

    She frowned.  "It's going to rain."

    "I know.  It helped me get closer; the cloud cover blocks light 
from the other sectors, making it much darker."

    "Well, now what?" She asked.

    "You're my prisoner, Tarr.  You and I walk back to grey camp 
and we put you into the stockade."

    "I mean, right now."

    "Right now, we get some sleep."  She wasn't about to walk away; 
there was a ruleskeeper drone above us, probably two, and they 
would disqualify her if she did.  She seemed infinitely frustrated 
by her new role as passive prisoner, but those were the rules.  
"Let's get your stuff together.  We've got a short walk back to my 
gear."

    "What about the weather?" she asked, annoyed.

    "If it rains, it rains.  It's warm, and right now I need 
sleep."

    She bit her lower lip and gathered up her backpack, grumbling 
all the while.  We walked back to where I'd dropped my pack, rolled 
out our two bags and went to sleep.  Luckily, it did not rain.

    The next day, well after dawn, we broke what little camp we 
had, packing up and moving out.  I kept her flag as a headband, 
enjoying the look on her face as I tied it on.  I knew very little 
about Tarrette.  She and P'nyssa had been lovers for several year, 
even raising a child together.  I knew that she tended to be 
short-fused.  She had been the first one to come to me and convince 
me to build Castle Rhysh.  She was, however, very pretty, with very 
big eyes set a little farther apart than average, and large ears 
for a Felinzi.  Her muzzle was short.  Most attractive, however, 
was her build, because she very deliberately muscular.

    We walked, she behind me, back towards the treeline, when 
finally the clouds broke.  I reached into my backpack and pulled 
out my floppy hat; she had no such accouterment and merely grumbled 
louder.  We walked on, but her grumbling was getting on my nerves.  
In the torrential rain vision was obscured and the ground became 
muddy.  It was a very warm rain, humid and cloying, and she could 
not have been enjoying it all against her fur.

    We reached the base of the mountain ridge and began the long, 
slow trek up it, along the path I'd taken earlier.  As dark fell we 
hadn't nearly made it to the cave I'd used before, or to anything 
else that might have been a shelter.  Neither of us carried tents; 
I had a waterproof sleeping bag with a miniature head-net, mostly 
for bugs but it would help with the rain.  We settled down under a 
large clump of heavier trees and hoped it would provide some sort 
of cover.

    "This has got to be the worst night of my life," she grumbled.

    "Look," I said, trying to be my usual, philosophical self and 
having a hard time of it, "This isn't going to get any easier.  Why 
don't you let up?"

    "And why don't you fuck off?" she said.

    I growled an unusually harsh slur in Uncia at her, my 
frustration between her complaining and the rain overcoming my 
usual good nature.  Apparently she caught it, because she replied 
with something equally vile.  That struck a nerve; I turned to face 
her.  "Tarrette," I said, "Ah tari."  Prepare to be attacked.

    She took the threat literally and in one coiled spring she 
leapt onto me.  We went skidding together in the mud.

    Her claws were out, and I barely avoided a nasty rake across my 
chest, rolling to my left and backwards, coming to my feet.  She 
leapt to hers just as fast.  "Come on, Ken, let's see what you've 
got," she hissed, waving one finger at me, an enormous, 
blood-thirsty smile on her face. 

    I charged her, the bloodlust coming onto me as I saw it did 
her, and as the rains poured down around us, I made a grab for her; 
she blocked. I slid to my knees and grabbed her thigh, hauling her 
down with me back into the mud.  She struggled again to get free, 
but I held tight onto her jumpsuit.

    There was a tearing sound, and she clawed her way out of her 
clothing, springing away and turning back towards me, roaring.  I 
rolled, miscalculating; she hit me, her full weight thudding 
against my shoulder, but most of the impact was absorbed by the 
mud.  Lightning flashed.

    "If you want me to be your prisoner," she hissed again as I 
rolled right again, trying to stand, "you'll have to MAKE me 
submit!"  Oh, ho, I realized.

    "Okay, Tarr," I said in low, Uncia growl, "if that's the way 
you want it, come and get it."  In the dark, I looked for her; 
instead, she found me, coming out of the darkness in a heated rush 
and raking my back with her claws.  Her claws never connected with 
my flesh, but I heard a loud ripping sound.  She vanished again.

    "Cute, girl.  Come on, you can do better than that," I said.  
She growled somewhere in the dark and the rain.  The lightning 
flashed again, but revealed nothing.  I suddenly realized what that 
attack had accomplished; in a single step I found my pants had lost 
structural integrity.  I started to stripped them off, and just as 
I had them free she attacked again, hitting me with a wrestling 
hold from the rear.  My response was to throw her over my shoulder.

    The exertion had gotten me as excited as she was, and I was 
sporting an erection that, had I been an outside observer, must 
have looked ridiculous.  But inside, I was hot, excited, burning, 
and I leapt upon her even as she shook her head to clear it from 
the throw.  With my legs I tried to pry hers apart, but she fought, 
kicking and hitting.

    I grabbed her arms and held them down, but her legs kicked at 
me while I thrust my hard cock against her cunt.  She looked up at 
me, a mixture of lust, anger and pain on her beautiful face, and 
she snarled "Do it.  Do it to me, you want it."  I obliged, 
thrusting into her with one hard, crashing thrust.  She howled.  I 
released her arms, and I began to fuck her without mercy.  She 
wrapped her arms and legs around my back, and as I pounded home my 
cock, she clawed her way across my back; the pain was a searing, 
white thing in my head, but I ignored it, screamed past it, and 
ravished her there, in the hot mud and rain, fucking her.  She 
screamed and fought, but escape was not her purpose.  We rolled in 
the mud, and I felt the dirt get into my wounds, and she wound up 
on top as I groaned.

    She held my cock inside her, and began to respond to it with 
the same force I had, coming down in sharp, powerful slams that 
forced my cock back against her cervix with every impact.  I 
groaned, and she hammered on, harder and more forceful, stroking 
me, snarling incoherently.  I reached up and grabbed her shoulders; 
she planted her hands into the ground and forced me to haul myself 
up to her.  I kissed her, and she wrapped her arms around my head, 
her tongue lunging into my mouth, fighting with mine.  I fell back 
into the mud, and with a single kick rolled us over, me on top, and 
picking myself up from her I kept on slamming home into her cunt, 
and her howls and screams were reaching a fever pitch as I did, and 
I felt her shoulder was under my snarling teeth, and I was going to 
come, and as I came I bit her, losing control and tasting blood.

    I subsided, raising myself off of her.  She blinked a few times 
as the rain continued with slightly less force than before.  "You 
okay?" she asked.

    I swallowed, pushed a few loose hairs away, nodded.  "You?" I 
said.

    She nodded.  I slid my shrinking erection out of her, 
shuddering with the delicious effort, and slowly rose to my feet.  
The effort made my head spin, but I shook and cleared my vision, 
and helped her up.  We located our soaking wet camp and she applied 
long strips of HN-gauze to the crisscross-crossed streaks across my 
back. "How bad is it?" I asked.

    "You don't want to know."

    "Oh, come on, Tarr, I've been clawed during sex before.  Ember 
does it to me all the time."

    "Not like this.  I'm sorry, Ken, but I've never seen marks like 
this before- I've certainly never made marks like this before.  Are 
you sure you can use both arms?"  That worried me.

    I windmilled both arms through a full 360 degrees.  It hurt 
like hell, and I could feel muscles moving the wrong way over other 
muscle sheathes as I used the left arm.  "Tarr?  Sling my left 
arm."

    "I thought so.  Will you be okay?"

    "I'm full of nanobiotics, I should be okay, health-wise.  But 
from a structural point of view, I'm mess."

    She nodded.  "I thought so."  We cast about for our clothes, 
put on spare sets and used the remainder to fashion me a sling.

    "How's your shoulder?" I asked.  There was a lot of blood caked 
at the crux of her throat.

    "Hurts, a lot," she said, with a smile.  "But I've had worse.  
Your timing was good, though."

    "Was it?" I asked.

    "Third climax," she said, with a cheery smile in the rain.  
"But I'll be okay.  I've put nb's on it and bandaged it as well as 
possible.  Nothing we can do until we get to your camp, and that's 
at least two days away."

    "Yeah."  I stopped for a moment, and then said, "Tarr, what led 
you to that?"

    "To what?"

    "Fighting like that.  The aggression."

    She shrugged.  "Dunno.  But once we started, I just got... 
aroused,   you know?  Besides, I wanted to see if P'nyssa's opinion 
that you were 'good' was right."

    I was curious.  "Well?"

    "Eh," she said.  "You're good enough," she said with a smile.

    "Have to do it again, sometime," I said.

    Her eyes widened, and she said, "You're kidding, right?"

    "Not on your life."

              -               -              -

    The next day brought a clearing of the weather, and wearily we 
trudged up the side of Piter's ridge.  She grumbled less this time, 
and we talked cheerfully.  My arm was useless slung as it was, and 
I needed her help.  I was fortunate that she'd torn up my left arm 
since I'm mostly right handed, although if I'd been flying I 
usually pilot with my left hand, since it's the one that's most 
dexterous.  We passed my cave and headed for the last peak in the 
ridge, up into the cold heights.  The ridge is not very big, but 
the temperature change can be dramatic.

    That night we stopped and made camp.  This time, with the cold 
and the drier weather, we made a substantial fire, trying to warm 
up.

    "Did you and Nyss get along?" I asked.

    She shrugged.  "Yes and no.  She's more het than you are, I 
think.  She really prefers your company anyway.  Besides, sometimes 
I'm just a little too butch for her."

    "After last night, I can't imagine why."

    She chuckled.  She has magnificent eyes.

    A short while later, she walked around and slowly peeled off my 
shirt.  "Your wounds didn't bleed, thanks to the nb's.  But that 
repair should still be corrected by a healer when you get to your 
campsite."  Her fingers were delicate and gentle against my ravaged 
back, and I cooed with the pleasure of her gentler touch.

    "Like that?" she said with an amused voice.

    "Very much.  I'm very ticklish on my back."

    Her response was to slowly wrap her arms around me from behind, 
taking my nipples in between her fingers and slowly twisting them.  
My response was instantaneous; I groaned aloud and closed my eyes, 
feeling the small electric jabs that that does to me course between 
them.  My erection swelled to it's full length, and one of her paws 
slid down to stroke it through the material of my jeans.  I leaned 
back against her, very aware of my tender back, but enjoying what 
she was doing far too much to give a damn.

    She laughed quietly and said, "You're very excitable."

    "Very," I whispered.

    She laughed again, and said "Give me your hand."

    I gave her my right hand, and she looked at it closely.  I 
looked over my shoulder at her, and she said, "Stay right here."  
She rose and walked out of the immediate firelight to her backpack, 
retrieved something from a small pouch, and returned.  She sat to 
my immediate right and took my hand again.  She produced a nail 
clipper and a file, and proceeded to give me a manicure.  I guessed 
what she had in mind, and chuckled.  "You really want to do what 
I'm thinking?"

    She said, "You had yours last night."

    "And you didn't enjoy it?"

    "I didn't say that."  She released my hand and said, "You know 
what I want."

    I did at that.  I leaned over to her and unzipped the denim 
jumpsuit she wore down to her groin.  She smiled as her furry belly 
was exposed, and I pulled aside the material to expose her small, 
soft breasts.  I bent down and took her nipple between my teeth, 
biting down gently, then a little sharper.  Her body went rigid, 
little mewls escaping her.  My smile went to a full leer.

    I pulled the suit off of her shoulders, then down.  She raised 
her hips... I paused for a second, ran back and got my sleeping 
bag, opened it and placed it next to the fire.  She scooted onto 
it, wiped her palms together to clear off the sand, and I helped 
her shimmy the rest of the way out of her jumpsuit.  Naked, she was 
gorgeous; her thick golden fur barely obscured those well-defined 
muscles.  Her legs were striking, like bands of wire cable, 
powered-armor cabling, sliding and rippling under fur.  I placed my 
backpack and her bag behind her, and she leaned back, her legs 
spread.

    I sat cross-legged between her legs and began to gently tickle 
her belly, and she mewled again in pleasure.  "Want it straight," I 
said, almost a question.

    "Mm, hmm..." she said with an almost answering tone of 
acknowledgment.  I felt my smile return as I trailed my fingers 
down to her cunt, her lips full and pouting.  I laughed, running my 
thumb down her slit, parting her lips.  She was wet, anticipating.  
I touched her with my weak left hand to maintain contact; her eyes 
were closed, and my style says never let them think you've gone 
unless you mean it.  So I stayed in touch with her while I brought 
my right hand to her muzzle and slid my index finger into her 
mouth.  "Lick it," I said,

    She did.  "Get it wet, kittykat," I urged.  When she had done a 
good job, I placed my right hand back between her thighs and slid 
my finger into her cunt.  She groaned aloud again as I stroked my 
finger in and out.  I pulled out all the way and slid a second 
finger.

    Her juices were flowing freely and that was one of the reasons 
I'd chosen my sleeping bag;  I wanted the scent of her juices 
imbedded in the cloth to keep me warm at night.  I slid in a third 
finger.

    Three fingers make an opening.  With a few simple flexes I made 
room for my pinky.  She groaned as I fucked her slowly with all 
four fingers, her vagina opening up and sometimes trying to suck me 
in, and the crux of my palm was next, the widest part of my hand 
until my thumb.

    I rocked my hand back and forth, going deeper, and with one 
surprisingly gentle push my palm slid in up to the thumb.  She 
shuddered, a loud growl escaping her.  Her chest rose and fell with 
huge, deep, relaxing breaths as I slid my hand back out and folded 
the thumb against the palm.  I began to fuck her gently again, 
feeling her flesh expand around my hand.

    Each push got another millimeter in, another millimeter wet, 
and once I felt the cool wetness on the back of my hand, I had it, 
and I slid my entire hand into her cunt, folding my finger back as 
I did so, canting the wrist so that the thumb led.  I rotated it 
gently around the nubbin I felt to be her cervix, and she groaned.  
I held my fist there, inside her;  the sight of my wrist leading 
into her body fascinated me.

    "Ken," she said.  "Fuck me."  I began to pump slightly, and her 
fingers sought her clit as I fucked her, caressing her vagina with 
my fingers, exploring every expanded nook, roiling about inside her 
body.  Her fingers twisted and tortured her clit, and I leaned over 
and took a nipple between my teeth.  The two of us worked to take 
her teetering to the edge of ecstasy, my fist rocking back and 
forth inside her, my tongue and teeth abusing her nipples as she 
did gentle violence to her clitoris, and I knew she had finally 
come when she let out a howl that must have scared off every bit of 
wildlife in a hundred klicks.

    She turned on her side and slid off of my hand.  I raised my 
hand to my lips and began to lick it quietly.  She watched me with 
an intent expression as I cleaned my hand off, tasting her sweet 
cunt juices that had inundated me and my bedding.  Halfway through, 
she took my hand by the wrist and pulled it away from me, towards 
her.  We shared and the feeling of our two tongues roaming over my 
hand tickled.  I laughed.

    There's wasn't anything else to say.  Tomorrow we would return 
to the my side's gamesite and she would be put in the stocks until 
the game ended or one side won.  I encouraged the fire to burn 
hotter, quicker, rearranging the wood to encourage more airflow.  
After a while, she sat next to me and said "Thanks."

    I shrugged with a grin on my face.  "I liked it."

    She nodded.  After a while the fire had fallen low enough I 
felt safe going to sleep with it, and we cuddled together under our 
blankets.  Although I could smell her sex all night long, her 
presence kept me warm enough.
