Kiss of Death: Malik's Story

Kiss of Death: Malik's Story

"Malik? Are you even listening to me?" My mind strayed from my thoughts. I was sitting here, a month into dating this guy, and I began to feel like I wanted this forever! I just had secrets I knew he would leave me for!

"Yeah! I'm sorry! I guess I got lost in thought! What were you saying again?" He continued on with his conversation as we drove to our destination! It had been my turn to drive, overall we had a long trip left ahead of us!

"I was saying, I thought it would be cool of us to maybe take our relationship a step further! I mean...it's been almost a month, and I really like you!" My hands clenched at the steering wheel traffic began to loosen up as we got on our home stretch! I sat in silence again as he spoke! I was scared, I tuned out the world around me and drove! Every time he spoke of touching me, I dissociated from the situation! I wanted to stay in a moment where I didn't have to reply! I just enjoyed the time I had known him before he grew more curious about me! "You're doing it again!"

"I'm sorry! We're almost there! Can we have this discussion when we get to the hotel? I think...I think it's time for me to tell you something!" He began to say something before settling in his seat. The rest of the ride was silent, the music drowned out the awkwardness of the moment. The palms of my webbed hands grew sweaty. I was nervous as the fox sat there. His tail would flick on the floorboard every so often.

Finally, we arrived at the hotel, we had crossed three states to get here. The arid desert climate greeted us when we got out of the car! It was an entirely new atmosphere for me, but he had called this desert side home once! I went to check in, and he avoided any more questions as we gathered our things and made our way to our room. I didn't want the entire vacation to be weird, so I broke the tension when we settled our stuff in.

"You are an amazing man, maybe the best man I have ever met in my entire life!" I was short, so my feet had a good distance from the floor when I sat in the bed! "I never do anything I do to make you feel any type of way! I just...don't want anything we have to be ruined! I love what we have!" He sat next to me in the bed, careful not to touch me as always.

"Wouldn't you enjoy it more though? Why can't I touch you? I feel a need to be closer and closer to you, and you deny me!" I balled my fists up in my lap, I went to look at him but instantly regretted it! He wanted to comfort me, but he fought himself.

"You have no idea...but I don't want to hurt you! I just...want you to be okay with a relationship like this!" I danced around the truth, I didn't want to scare him away!

"Why? Why not just tell me what's so wrong about me touching you? Just let me in please!" So I said it! I blurted it out like poison in my mouth.

"I almost killed my last boyfriend...I never...experienced touch because I hurt people when they touch me! I hurt them and I will hurt you! I just want to enjoy what we have without you running in fear!" Instinct kicked in for him and he touched my hand. I panicked as he pulled it away quickly!

"I'm sorry! It's a habit! I'm sorry!" It was the first time he had ever touched my skin, and normally others would have gotten sick already. He looked at me confused, "Does it happen immediately?" He stared at the fur on his hand as if it would fall off any second.

"Yes..." I looked down at my hands questioning everything my life had been. Why was he not sick?

"May I try again?" I snapped my gaze to him.

"Why? What if it was a one-time thing?"

"And what if it wasn't?" He caught me with his words. I was tongue-tied, so I extended my hand out for him. His paw felt warm, the fur against my cold-blooded skin was comforting. Seconds become minutes, and soon we just sit there. He never got sick like the others! We stared at each other until the space between us closed. I was kissing him deeply! This was not my first kiss, but it was my best kiss! "I'm still not sick! Were you playing with me?"

"I...wish I was...you must be immune! Only my parents were ever immune to me! I don't know what it is about you!" I was confused, but I lived in a world where everyday people had all sorts of abilities! I was an idiot to be surprised that one person could be immune to my abilities too!

"Well, we can take this further and enjoy the moment if you would like?" He kissed my cheek softly as I blushed!

"I...you...would be my first partner...." I nervously got the words to tumble from my lips. I had never imagined getting to be this close to a person! I had no idea where to start! He was tender with his touches, guiding my body into a lying position on the bed. It was electrifying how his touch felt to my skin! I couldn't help but close my eyes and allow him to take over.

"I promise I will be gentle," I was eager, the rush of feelings in my body were a tsunami! I was falling into this ocean of a new experience! Our clothes were falling to the ground and it was hard! Much harder than watching porn ever got me! I had no idea how to go about things, but my body moved as if naturally it knew what it craved!

His mouth felt incredible! My eyes rolled back as I gripped at the bedding! He was taking all of me deep down his throat. I could have busted right then at the overwhelming sensation of finally getting to experience the touch of another. His ear laid back against his head, his tail swishing. He seemed careful to not use his teeth! Before I knew it, he was positioning himself to slide my cock deep inside of him!

"T-This feels so good!" My words fell as a moan from my lips! I was edging at best! Forcing my body to keep the momentum going! He was tight, gripping me in ways I had never felt! His confidence leaked into me! I was a mess!

"I didn't expect you to be so big!" He chuckled as he kissed me, his hips rocking against me. It was a warm feeling!

"I feel close!" I blushed as I said this, gripping onto his back. I couldn't last any longer!

"Then cum for me!" His words were my undoing! I was filling deep inside of him until I felt drained! I was a panting mess as he pulled off of me. He was a dripping mess as we cuddled there! Soon, my body relaxed in a new way! I was completely comfortable around him! His fur felt soft on my hands as I pet his back! I was content, so I found myself drifting off to sleep! We had a long road trip ahead of us still, I was ready for the adventures we had in store along the way!
