Chapter Text
With a hunt successfully concluded, it became time for the hounds to locate and retrieve their bayed prey, most of them trained well enough to know not to let the smaller quarries come to harm within their strong maw.
That wasn't to say that each and every hunter shared the same methods and procedures when it came to claiming their day's bag, but they would unanimously share the same sentiment when it came to the way in which Alyosha handled this specific prey– Deeming it to be unorthodox and crude, if put lightly. Many, if not all of them, would even go as far as directly considering them outrageous and deranged.
With the barrel of his proudly modified mosin-nagant rifle resting snugly against a soft mound, its muzzle pressed into the tightly strung corset of the rabbit that lay pitifully sprawled on the frozen lake beneath Alyosha, shivering for many more reasons than just the biting cold gradually seeping through layers upon layers of clothing.
“What a shame.”, Alyosha mused with mock disappointment, floppy ears tousled in pale green hair perking up ever-so-slightly as the rifle pressed down harder against the flat stomach beneath it, drawing a muffled sound from the pitiful creature as its fluffed-up long ears trembled against the icy ground. “The rabbits I usually hunt around this time of the year are already plump with offspring… I'm afraid your tender meat won't even be enough to satisfy a small family of five.”
Whimpering feebly around the red scrap of fabric that completely stuffed out its small mouth, the rabbit clawed uselessly at the other hand that firmly pinned its slender wrists down, a fierce defiance in those vivid dual-tone eyes as it regarded the offending hound with the bitter realization that it was helplessly restrained and entirely at Alyosha's mercy.
“You know better than to fight back now, don't you?”, the hound warned while tapping a finger against the metallic trigger guard, the clinking noise an additional warning as the fidgety rabbit was reminded, “Prey that won't cease struggling is better put to mercy. Have I not shown you that already?”
Maybe it would have felt sickening to any sane person, but holding the long-eared creature's life under a mere pull of his finger brought a twisted satisfaction to the usually disciplined hound. The lack of established trust between them, not knowing how this rabbit had been emboldened enough to provoke and lure him into a game of chase in the first place, added a strange sense of arousal to it as well.
Matted in parts and scruffy in texture, following the last days of his stalk, the hound's puffy tail thumped lightly against the ground while his mouth curled into a pleased smile. Grinding the rifle's barrel into the soft mound of flesh beneath it, Alyosha watched eagerly as those supple thighs began to quiver without daring to snap close around the firearm, an almost imperceptible wetness seeping through the little rabbit's tight white pants while that scrap of fabric still reduced its small moans to naught but choked noises.
“I guess it is not too late yet to have you bred for the winter yet.”, Alyosha mused before the rifle slid back, muzzle catching on that flimsy white fabric before those tightly fit pants were carelessly torn through, a visible shudder running through the restrained rabbit underneath him as its most intimate parts were suddenly exposed to the biting cold.
“Quite daring of you, Vice Captain Lohen.”, an amused laugh fell from Alyosha's smiling lips as he ground the rifle's barrel down once more, directly rubbing its smooth surface against that glistening wet cunt, which had been covered by nothing but those flimsy pants. “Rabbits are always receptive to mating, after all.”
It wasn't the only flimsy part of his outfit, Alyosha noted as Lohen's frostnipped back arched off the frozen lake with a pained cry that somehow managed to slither out around the gag in his mouth while his long ears pulled flat against mint-teal hair. “Hurts, doesn't it?”, Alyosha asked with terribly obvious fake concern, breaking that façade not even a moment later as the rifle's muzzle forcefully pressed into the fluttering cunt, met with little resistance as it easily slid down to the barrel into the snug walls.
Another high cry sounded as Lohen's wide eyes regarded Alyosha incredulously, legs trembling by the hound's sides. “What are you giving me that look for? Almost makes it seem like you didn't anticipate this.”, Alyosha joked as his finger came to rest against the trigger, slowly sliding his rifle from and into the wet embrace while he added, “Better be a docile little rabbit for me now, don't want you getting hurt.”
With rare obedience, Lohen's taut limbs fell limp as he keenly watched the firearm fucking into him with intrigue and a reasonable sense of alarm. Toes curling slightly in his tight boots at the utter strangeness of the muzzle and magazine cap stretching his snug pussy open, Lohen now felt almost regretful that the front sight piece had been removed earlier.
Steadily forcing his trusty weapon deeper into the soft rabbit below him, Alyosha finally removed his grip from its slender wrists before he leaned back to undo his pants with a faint click. Long ears flicking up attentively, Lohen's gaze trailed past the firearm to glance at the front of Alyosha's pants instead.
That just wouldn't do. “Focus, bunny.”, Alyosha ordered lightly before he drove his rifle into the slicked up cunt with a particularly hard slide, firmly pressing down on the resistance it was met with before the dripping pussy convulsed around the barrel. A guttural groan left his poor little prey before a mind numbing climax forced through Lohen's already trembling body, drenching the front of Alyosha's pants in the warm fluid that spilled around his slim rifle.
Floppy ears twitching intrigued by the sight, Alyosha uncaringly pulled his rifle from the still twitching cunt, strong hands gripping the rabbit's slim waist before it was suddenly forced upright, weakened body falling limp against the hound's chest. “I'll get you round and full.”, Alyosha declared with an eager swish of his big and puffy tail, “Gonna let you have a proper litter once spring comes to your nation.”
Taking himself by the base of his eagerly twitching cock, Alyosha rubbed the already leaking slit teasingly against the rabbit's wet folds before he pushed into the still sensitive and awfully tight pussy, groaning breathlessly as it stretched and then immediately clenched around his considerable girth. Tears began to spill from Lohen's eyes at the forceful overstimulation, arms curling tightly around the hound's neck as he obediently waited for him to be fully sheathed inside of him.
“Feels so good, might just keep you as a trophy when I'm done.”, Alyosha whispered into one of Lohen's already trembling long ears, causing them to pull low on the rabbit's mint-teal hair as its hips were raised and forcefully driven back down on Alyosha's burning cock amid the biting cold that still pierced into Lohen's bare skin.
It almost sent Lohen right over the edge again, spent pussy weakly dripping around Alyosha's cock instead as the eager hound rutted into him at a steady pace, pressing on his sweet spot in scary precision with each strong thrust. Feeling another ounce of generosity, one of his hands rose to finally remove the drenched cloth from Lohen's already aching mouth, warm saliva running over Alyosha's hand as he gently massaged the rabbit's jaw.
“So gentle for a big and scary hound.”, were Lohen's first words– his first mocking complaint after his sore mouth was granted permission to speak, an alluring lilt in his light voice that fell sweetly against Alyosha's ear.
Amused, the hound chuckled as his fingers dug painfully into the rabbit's corseted slim waist, kindly taking the complaint his little prey had uttered into consideration as Alyosha drove into him with newfound urgency. Fingers burying into the pale green hair just behind the hound's floppy ears in response, Lohen could finally moan and whimper unbridledly when his chaffed thighs stung painfully from grinding against the coarse fabric of Alyosha's pants.
“Where has all that bite in you gone, bunny? Already so well-behaved from a little stimulation.”, Alyosha mused in light mockery as he chased his release in the snug heat, thumbs pressing into his prey's flat stomach before his lips quirked up slightly, “Are you asking to be kept? I wouldn't mind raising your kits as well…”
Breathing heavily against the hound's neck, Lohen's face twisted into an expression of confusion, mind too hazy from overstimulation and his already forming second climax to make out the meaning of the words that left this dog mouth of Alyosha's. It became unnecessary for Lohen to still figure them out when his thighs were suddenly held down with bruising force, the twitching cock burrowed deep inside of him instantly making him realize the impending doom it would bring.
Trembling fingers clasped around Alyosha's curled ears, tugging harshly at them as a pair of glaring pink eyes burned into him while the knight bit out a warning, “Don't you fucking da–nngh!”, a choked sob fell from Lohen's parted lips as he came apart on the swell of Alyosha's knot, acutely feeling the hot semen pouring into him beneath his freezing skin.
Vision blurry with his own tears, the usually vigilant knight wasn't even aware of the strong hand that sneakily curled around his neck, only startling once it had already begun pressing pointedly against the unblemished skin, sure to leave a nasty bruise as it forced Lohen's last feeble breath from him.
Cradling the now unconscious rabbit's cheek in his rough hand, Alyosha quickly wrapped his thick fuzzy cloak around Lohen’s lower body before he set off for their departure, lips pulling into a gentle smile as he decided, “Mm, I have been considering trying to domesticate a wild rabbit, after all.”
Lohen's body was on fire, not burning with the fever that should have ensued from his tossing and tousling on a frozen lake, but with an intense heat that festered in his core until it spread through his aching limbs. Forcing his heavy eyelids open with a shuddering breath, Lohen watched the flickering flames across from him as he tried to fight the lingering haziness in his mind. Long ears pulling low against his messy mint-teal hair, he willed himself to somehow stitch his torn memories back together.
It had been an arduous journey, Lohen could still clearly remember the relief he felt as they finally entered that border town, Sretomorozsk. A real mouthful of a name, he even had to repeat it a dozen times before Varka finally didn't sound like the drunkard he usually was while pronouncing it anymore.
Naturally, their first course of action wasn't to find a place of shelter, no, Varka had been far more eager to find some bar or pub in that place permeating with misery. Dragged along by the towering man, both their inquiries of shelter and a place for drinking were either ignored or rudely disregarded. Varka had suggested that they just camp out in the wild then, Lohen had called him a crazy dog with the build and natural heat reserved for a bear– Lohen would drag his tired feet all the way back to Nod Krai before he even considered sleeping in the icy cold.
They had parted ways after that snappy exchange. Varka's tall ears pulled flat in disappointment as he returned to the rest of their team after telling Lohen to keep trying his luck and find someone that would grant him shelter. It wasn't like he had no options, given the hungry gazes that lingered on him far longer than they should have, but there was no fun in something as simple as that. Having Lohen could never be as simple as opening the door of your house to invite the devil in– he had to be won over fair and square, if anything.
Lohen's sight had suddenly caught onto a bright glint in the distance, pleasantly surprised to stare right down the rifle's barrel, lips curled into his enticing signature smirk as he temptingly lured his newfound target into a little game of chase over the following days.
The hunt was exhilarating, especially so when Lohen brandished his icy spear against the little creatures native to the snezhnayan everwinter. They were all more intriguing than the last to him, only regretting that he didn't have the time to spare on dissecting and testing them more attentively with a trained hunting dog stalking after him.
It had been thrilling to be forced down against the biting ice, his lithe body being twisted in a way that allowed for the barrel to point down at him easily. It wasn't that thrilling to have some wild killer rabbit's dressing stuffed into his mouth, though– probably stained with all kinds of dirt and nasty fur. The disgust of it paired with the unique exchange that followed must have been what forced Lohen's memory intake to shut off, leaving only fragmented bits of shared passion behind.
Whatever followed then had at least led to Lohen sleeping in a warm and comfortable bed that night, achieving his goal with ease, as he always did. Although he might have shot a little way past it this time, considering the restraints that tightly bound his limp wrists to the wooden bed's headboard, along with that uncomfortably festering heat inside of him.
“... What exactly did you do to me?”, the rabbit finally asked as his sharp dual-tone eyes settled on the hound that had still been dutifully polishing the barrel of his rifle just now, floppy ears shifting after being called out to.
“You make it sound like an accusation.”, Alyosha mused as he finally set the pristine firearm aside, raising a small vial in his hold as he regarded the grumpy rabbit across from him with a faint smile, “I just kindly helped my little pet rabbit into heat so it can fully enjoy getting bred.” A humorless laugh fell between Lohen's dry lips as he glared at the vile thing that had been snatched from his very own pocket. At least he'd gained some confirmation that it wasn't anything that he should actually be worried about.
“And, pray tell, just who exactly do you think your little ‘pet rabbit’ is?”, the rabbit asked provocatively, his keenly observing gaze not leaving the hound as he rose from his chair and unhurriedly walked over to the bed, big puffy tail swishing calmly with his movements. There was a low hum in Alyosha's throat as he lifted the thick blanket from Lohen's nude body, rough hand sliding between the supple clenched thighs as he answered, “Slip of the tongue, you're not docile enough to be my pet yet. You're still just a wild thing.”
Heat rushing pointedly wherever that hand touched, Lohen simply couldn't prevent his legs from obediently falling apart after a mere nudge between his oddly sticky thighs, a notion which finally reminded of a seriously pressing matter that caused his long ears to pull back, “You came inside of me.”
“I'm about to now, as well.”, Alyosha replied casually as his fingers rubbed over the plump folds that twitched under his touch, drawing a sweet moan from the rabbit before it pressed on with a breathy voice, “Just who… Who do you think you are to decide that?”
Lips curling into an indulgent smile, Alyosha settled between Lohen's trembling thighs, hovering over him before the hound ground his clothed crotch against the sensitive cunt. Heavenly, Lohen found it, the friction burning wonderfully against the scalding heat that gradually focused there. “I'm your owner, naturally. Wasn't it you who sought me out to be hunted down?”, the hunter asked the twitching little rabbit below him, relishing in the breathy moans and pitiful glare it regarded him with in response.
“I sought you out for a quick fuck and a warm bed to sleep in for the night.”, Lohen rebutted fiercely, yet finding himself unable to hold back the quiet moans that fell from his parched lips. It was woefully pleasurable, the unnatural heat in Lohen's body responding fervently to each brush of fabric and lingering touch against his skin.
It wasn't refusal that fueled the rabbit's words, no, it was outright challenging the hound. Luring Alyosha in under the guise of being a harmless little thing, fearful in the gaze of its predator– all while carefully considering the best angle for its jumpy hind legs to kick at next.
“You took a gamble and you lost, that's your own fault.”, there was a helpless tone to his voice as Alyosha leaned back to undo his pants, keenly aware of the pitiful whimper that left the rabbit at the withdrawing contact. Having fallen fully at the hound's mercy, Lohen's lips still curled into a provocative smile as he declared boldly, “Have fun trying to tame me. I'm a wild thing that just loves to bite the hand that feeds it.”
“That so? Make sure to bite down fiercely, then. I prefer scars that remain deep.”, Alyosha retorted amusedly, giving no warning as he slid into the throbbing cunt, feeling it obediently stretch around the already familiar girth as the rabbit below him clenched around him with a low moan.
Frustration evident in his pitiful expression, Lohen continued to whine through small moans as the overwhelming heat that gathered in his already naturally sensitive pussy made his brain tingle uncomfortably. Already treading on the fine line between sober awareness and mindless ecstasy, Alyosha's restraint became torture for Lohen.
“Too much?”, Alyosha cooed as his hands settled on the faint bruises that still remained on the rabbit's slender waist, pressing on them as Lohen nodded his head through a pained mewl, the dull ache of his bruised skin now adding to everything that already overwhelmed him.
“Consider that your first punishment, then.”, the hound added cruelly before he pushed further into the snug heat, not relenting until he was fully bottomed out. It pushed a much louder, high moan from Lohen's parted lips as his tight muscles spasmed around the girth, startling his mind silly as the intrusion was all it took for him to already climax.
It even startled Alyosha as well, glancing at the thankfully still nearly full vial that remained on the table at the other side of the room, inwardly hoping that the knight still had more hidden in the countless hidden pockets of his uniform that he hadn't checked yet.
There was no patience in the way Alyosha immediately slid from the still convulsing hole, thrusting deeply into the overly sensitive pussy amid the rabbit's pleasured cries, unsuccessfully struggled against the bindings around his wrists as Lohen pitifully begged for Alyosha to “slow down, give me a moment to relax!”.
No matter how sweet his pleas were, they all failed on Alyosha, floppy ears pulled slightly up as he was relentlessly thrusting into the snug pussy that continued to clench and then loosen around his cock as if the little rabbit was desperately trying to milk it, driving Alyosha impossibly madder with arousal. Raising a hand from the rabbit's bruised waist to grab Lohen's jaw instead, Alyosha leaned in closely before he ordered in a breathy voice, “Open your mouth for me, please.”
Lohen had done a lot of things with his previous bed companions, all kinds of crazy things, even. The only thing that Lohen would never do, though, would always be kissing. No exceptions, not even a little smooching would be permitted.
It was— Not smooching when Alyosha's tongue forced into Lohen's small mouth, it was a deep hunger that demanded to be satiated, a desire to consume everything that Lohen had to give. It wasn't a kiss, it was a hunting dog's maw finally snapping shut around the frail neck of the trembling prey it had caught.
The little rabbit could only accept its fate helplessly as an awfully familiar metallic taste mixed into the saliva that swirled between their slotted mouths, obediently keeping its legs spread as its womb was bred for the winter, hot cum stuffing its little hole after the hound's final hard thrust.
There was a swell in his belly, Lohen swore that there was. Oh, he was going to get pregnant and give birth to a litter of kits… or pups? Whichever it was, it left Lohen eager with excitement as he climaxed once more around the knot that had formed right before Alyosha's semen spilled into him, purposely filling him with child.
Coming down from his own high, Alyosha finally parted their lips with a wet noise. Watching their combined saliva spill uselessly from the rabbit's mouth, that pair of glossy dual-tone eyes crinkled as they now regarded Alyosha with an underlying need in them, long ears lay relaxed against Lohen's tousled mint-teal hair.
“You still in there, Vice Captain?”, Alyosha asked tentatively, caressing the knight's cheek while the latter just leaned into his touch without any response. “... Bunny?”, the hunter tried instead, receiving an eager hum in response as his prey rubbed its cheek against his palm, round eyes regarding him without even the slightest hint of that usual guardedness he had already become familiar with.
Stunned by this revelation, Alyosha looked into those entrancing eyes that seemed to offer him full control over the rabbit's fate, adam's apple rolling uncomfortably in his throat. He really had not expected to fuck the fierce knight into subspace, it probably would not even have been a possibility to him if it hadn't actually happened.
That sickening satisfaction roared inside of him again, relishing in the fact that Alyosha had such unrestricted control over another person's life. From the moment he first recognised these vile urges inside of him all those years ago, Alyosha had carefully built a cage around them, containing them in the darkest corner of his mind, not knowing that the key to unleashing it without any resistance would be held in the little paw of a faraway country's knight.
Fingers twitching, Alyosha pulled himself ever so slightly from the messy cunt, startling the little rabbit into crying out weakly, legs curling around the hound's middle before he was yanked closer, forcefully filling the already plenty full pussy to the brim again. A shuddering groan fell from Alyosha's lips, gripping into the little rabbit’s bruised waist tightly again as he forcefully held it down. “I'm not pulling out, be good.”, Alyosha ordered gently before he ground into the spent pussy as much as his knot would allow, recapturing the lips that pouted adorably at him with wet kisses.
Alyosha had always had a surplus of stamina, but those few curious drops from the small vial he had tried for himself really were pulling their weight on this night. Focused entirely on chasing his own release to fill his little rabbit up, Alyosha watched amusedly as the latter came apart on his knot over and over again from just his thrusts and a few messy kisses.
With a final hard snap of his hips, Alyosha released into the swollen, plump cunt for the nth time that night– or that next day, he honestly wouldn't know anymore, lost in pleasure beyond any semblance of reasonability as he was.
A pained cry came from the little rabbit below him, bitten and bruised lips falling open amid shaky gasps as its entire body twitched and trembled. “Can't– Can't cum!”, Lohen cried pitifully, tight walls convulsing nonetheless around the twitching cock and surplus of cum inside of him before a dry orgasm split his already thoroughly sillied mind apart, knocking himself out as the tight muscles kept spasming through the climax with no release.
Finally letting out a relieved sigh, Alyosha settled comfortably between the rabbit's legs, making no effort to pull out of the messy hole as he began to gently massage the meaty thighs in his hold. It would be too troublesome if Lohen came back to while still in his subspace, only to realize that Alyosha had pulled out of his little rabbit, he already had to pacify Lohen plenty of times by now.
It was unbelievably cute the first, and the second, time to watch that fierce knight he'd come to know across the past week now tearfully ordering Alyosha not to pull out, a desperate plea in Lohen's glazed eyes. But there was only so much more their bodies could endure once the aphrodisiac had finally worn off.
Thankfully, it seemed like Lohen wasn't lacking in stamina either, only passed out for a little under an hour before he stirred awake with a low groan, long ears raised in alert as his bleary eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, his mind slowly molding itself back into something proper again.
“... How are you feeling?”, Alyosha asked carefully, already expecting the snarky reply before Lohen had even bit it out through gritted teeth, “Get. Off. Right now.”
Alyosha complied with no hesitation, carefully sliding his still somewhat erect cock from the fluttering cunt before they both startled at the sheer amount of milky fluid that spilled from the, bordering abused, hole. Gross noises accompanying the mess as Lohen horrifyingly had to press some of it out on his own, given the absurd volume of it.
“Insanity, fuck, what even are you? Some kind of celibate mountain beast?”, Lohen snapped between breathy moans, bristling as he caught the hound’s eyes still keenly observing his spilling hole, “Stop looking already! WHAT is wrong with you?!”
“Many things, apparently.”, Alyosha muttered, floppy ears pulled low in embarrassed at himself while he tucked the excitedly twitching length back into his stained pants, only to be met with another incredulous quip, “You kept your pants on while fucking me until sunrise? Seriously?” Bringing a hand to his aching head, Alyosha struck down harshly on the rabbit's meaty thigh, succeeding in getting it startled into silence and allowing Alyosha to let out a mocking huff of his own at the little splatter of clear liquid it forced from the exerted cunt.
“... Shall I run you a warm bath?”, Alyosha asked a moment of silence later, finally tearing his eyes from the alluring body splayed before him as he rose from the bed. “What's this now? Aftercare for the captive?”, Lohen retorted mockingly as he watched the hound’s puffy tail bristle at his words.
Alyosha wasn't a good person, he had stopped considering himself an even decent person long ago, but even he would never stoop so low as keeping something captive if he knew that it was truly against its will. “It's taking care of my pet. As I should be.”, the hunter replied before he glanced back at the disheveled rabbit, a tired look mirrored in both their eyes.
Gaze lowering, the rage Lohen had worked himself into gradually mellowing out before he finally answered in a calm voice, “I would like a warm bath now, just don't let it be so hot that it scalds my skin.” Responding with a faint hum, Alyosha left Lohen still bound to the bed as he went to prepare a lukewarm bath for the always complaining rabbit. There was no worry in him that it would attempt to escape in his absence, a voice in the back of his mind kept lulling him into believing that Lohen had been left just as satisfied as himself.
“Hey,... you.”, Lohen called out once Alyosha returned from preparing the bath, still lying obediently on the bed as he had been expected to be, “What's your name, anyway?” Lowering himself to undo the bindings around the rabbit's wrists, Alyosha's warm golden-yellow eyes met those teasing dual-tone ones as he answered in a light voice, “Alexei.”
Faced with the misplaced warmth in those gentle eyes, Lohen's freed hands tingled uncomfortably as he pressed a thumb into the freckled skin just beneath Alyosha's eye, exerting steady pressure as the digit inched upward until the hound's thick brows furrowed in discomfort. “Don't think I’m already warming up to you now, Arschloch.”, Lohen spat before he put a reasonable distance between their faces.
“Do you actually dislike me?”, Alyosha asked helplessly as his arms wrapped around Lohen’s lithe body, carrying the limp rabbit to the bathroom as it replied teasingly in his hold, “Why would I? Your dick is really great, you know.”
“That so? Keep tempting me and you'll be on cockwarming duty when we get back to bed.”, the hunter huffed, a faint layer of pink dusting his freckled cheeks before he lowered Lohen into the bath, about to step back when slender fingers curled around his wrist. Those beautiful dual-tone eyes glanced at Alyosha through mint-teal bangs, a sly smile on the rabbit's bitten lips as Lohen purred tantalisingly, “Whatever shall you do, this little pet of yours can't even wash itself.”
Without sparing any thought, Alyosha rid himself of his stained pants and slid into the small tub, strong arms wrapping around Lohen's slim waist from behind as the hound's lips pressed against the soft skin of his nape. “I was worried you'd just tell me to scram, honestly.”, Alyosha admitted between light kisses that trailed from Lohen's neck to his round shoulder, rough hands impossibly gentle as they rubbed against Lohen’s bruised sides and taut stomach.
Deep exhaustion in his body and mind, paired with the faint steam exuded from their warm bath, led Lohen to lean into the hound's embrace with a deep exhale as he responded truthfully with his long ears now resting on Alyosha's shoulder, “I probably should have, this whole gentle act is making me sick already. It's probably helping you feel better about your kind-hearted persona or whatever though. I'll generously let you have this moment.”
Something in the Lohen's words twisted wryly at Alyosha's gut, holding that lithe body in his arms impossibly tighter as his bared teeth hung loosely against the slender neck in his sight, ultimately thinking better of it and merely pressing his closed mouth against the rabbit's soft skin once more.
There really was something terribly wrong with him. Something which this foreign knight had probably picked up on from the moment the hunter's rifle had been pointed at that fair, slender neck from afar. Whatever it was, it had been guarded by himself so diligently for decades, only to be unleashed by some deceptive little rabbit. Why should he not force him to take responsibility for something Lohen brought upon them? Merely keeping him confined by his side was already the greatest mercy that Alyosha could possibly grant him.
Lohen had, as he was warned, indeed been put on cockwarming duty once they had returned to bed. Having only himself to blame after he interrupted Alyosha from dutifully digging the remainder of his cum out of him after their bath, just to wilfully fuck himself on the hound's rough fingers instead. Really, he only had himself to blame for being reduced to a whimpering mess in his sleep as Alyosha's hips ground carefully into Lohen's soaking wet cunt.
That sharp set of teeth finally burying deeply into the soft flesh of his slender neck also was Lohen's own fault, somehow. Alyosha hadn't thought of a reasonable excuse to blame it on the little rabbit yet, too busy with hungrily lapping up the blood that spilled from the broken skin as Lohen came around the cock inside of him, moaning breathily as the soon ensuing knot stretched him wonderfully before his breaths evened out again.
Curling a hand around that slender neck, the hound's grip tightened around a previous bruise of his own doing, deepening the traces of himself that marked his rabbit's beautifully marked skin as Alyosha continued to grind his knot into the snug heat.
It took a different form of pressure, hours upon hours later, to finally stir Lohen awake again. Sluggishly trying to raise his body only to find his already dizzy head yanked forward from the motion of pushing himself upright on his arms.
Long ears raised in alertness, the rabbit cracked its stinging eyes open to the sight of thick leather cuffs around its slender wrists, forcefully restraining them to not even an arm's length from Lohen's chest.
Another tug of his bound hands confirmed the bad premonition that already crept on his mind. They indeed were connected to the tightness around his neck– a goddamn dog collar, as Lohen could make out from feeling around the shape of it.
“Anything too tight?”, a concerned question fell from above him, Lohen’s angry dual-tone eyes shooting upward to glare incredulously at those painfully fake warm golden-yellow eyes that watched his restrained wrists with undisguised interest.
“Does that seem like the issue to you?”, Lohen snarked, a small hiss forcing through his lips as the leather collar around his neck rubbed uncomfortably against an inexplicable stinging pain on his nape. “Do I look like some mutt to you?”
“They don't make rabbit collars around these parts, especially not ones your size. Appreciate what you are given.”, was the hound's ruthless response as his hands fiddled with the thick collar, something clicking into place at the front of it before Lohen's body was forcefully yanked upright, pushing a startled cry from his lungs as the collar tightened impossibly closer around his neck accompanied by a quiet jingle. Right next to the leash's attachment point, Lohen only realized now that he actually focused on it, hung a small bell that rang from the harsh movement.
Rough fingers held Lohen's chin high as a light order came from the hound before him, “Open up.” and Lohen did, awfully obediently so, before a tongue was forced into his mouth. Ravaging the warm cavern, those warm eyes remained firmly staring into Lohen's trembling ones. Satisfied once he's gotten his fill, the hound parted from the plush lips, drawing a small whimper from the rabbit. Amused by this, Alyosha's hand gently caressed the Lohen's cheek as he praised, “Good boy, already listening so well to me.”
Mouth gaping, a deep flush crept across the rabbit's fair face as Lohen retorted incredulously, “You really are just deranged.”
“You just have this certain effect on people.”, the hound chuckled before he wrapped the durable leash around his fist, gradually shortening the distance to the thick leather collar it was snapped to as he mused in false concern, “I'm a terribly awful owner, already leaving you alone the day after bringing you home. Can you bear to be separated from me until tonight, bunny?”
A mocking laugh left Lohen's mouth before he smiled sweetly at his supposed new ‘owner’, leaning in closer until his hands were placed firmly against Alyosha's chest before he purred sweetly, “I wouldn't love anything more than you staying gone even throughout the night.”
“I'll be terribly missed, it seems.”, Alyosha replied with remaining amusement before his hand combed through mint-teal hair, rubbing along the soft fur of the rabbit's long ears before a sharp snap sounded in Lohen's ear as the familiar weight left his ear. “... What are you up to now?”, he demanded to know, not even caring about the other end of the leash being strung to an elevated spot that was impossible for Lohen to reach with his restrained arms anyway, only watching irritably as his precious earring was carefully pinned around the rifle's trigger guard.
“Putting up a trophy, maybe a lucky charm, even.”, putting his thick fuzzy cloak on, Alyosha mused before he glanced back at the nude man on the bed once more. Raising the rifle to his face, Alyosha's lips pressed against the glinting earring before he left the confined rabbit locked behind the aged cabin door.
Sretomorozsk was still covered in its usual gloom. Its people only perked up slightly at the sight of Alyosha, greeting the known hunter politely before they walked off with disgruntled complaints about “those foreign knights kicking up a fuss”. Effortlessly gathering all the intel he needed in this simple manner, Alyosha placed his knuckles to his mouth in a low whistle as he left the border town, watching an excited Tugarin rush towards him before the well-trained husky rounded him once and sat down obediently in front of him.
Teasingly holding out a small package of dog treats, the hunter's lips curled as he instructed the husky he had personally and painstakingly trained, “You go find that bunch of knights for me and these are all yours, deal?” Reasonably worried that the dog wouldn't actually understand his words, their similar ears and tails not helping with their still vastly different species, Alyosha lowered his rifle before Tugarin's snout instead, letting him sniff at the dangling earring before the hunter let his hunting dog lead him through the icy outskirts.
Some stray tents eventually came into view. Giving Tugarin a signal to lay low for now, the hunter sneakily made his way behind the most prominent tent, acutely avoiding the sight of various anxious knights on the way.
“... But, Grand Master–”, a voice came through the tent's thin fabric as Alyosha leaned against it, hearing the person be firmly shot down by a strong voice, “Stop worrying already, he's just throwing a fit again. This isn't the first time he's run off after an argument.” Unconvinced, they still tried to raise concern again, “His clothes, though–”
“What about them? Maybe that's why he hasn't come back yet. He's probably trying to find some new pants that are to his liking.”, the strong voice shot them down firmly again before a rustling sound came from their side of the tent. Having heard enough, Alyosha was about to make a swift escape when a loud voice called out behind him, “I'm sure it's rude to be going around eavesdropping, even by snezhnayan customs.”, a towering man loomed a fair bit behind the hunter who was already contemplating a quick excuse before a loud bark broke the stagnant silence.
Excitedly rubbing its wet snout against the large man's fingers, Tugarin offered himself as a distraction and excuse for the hunter, something deep inside of Alyosha souring at the sight before he explained himself politely to the considerably older man, “I was hunting… rabbits, in the area, when he bolted toward your camp. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, please don't misunderstand.”
Laughing heartily as his large hands tousled the lively husky's fur, the older man's tall ears relaxed visibly atop his head before he shook it in apology, “I'm sorry if I came off a bit too gruff there, there's just been some trouble around here since yesterday. Please go on ahead, I'm relieved that you two reunited so quickly.”
Apologizing again and thanked the man of clear superior position in front of him for his understanding, Alyosha turned to leave again before the older man's eyes caught a glint of metal that was strung to the hunter's rifle, “Hey! You… That thing on your firearm–”
“Oh, that? It's just a charm my little pet rabbit carried home.”, the hunter answered with a small smile as he kept his rifle out of the older man's scrutinizing gaze, calling out for Tugarin to follow him as they departed from the knights’ camp.
Tossing treats into the husky's eager mouth along their way back, Alyosha's gaze kept involuntarily shifting to the dangling earring on his rifle, ears pulling flat against his pale green hair and expression souring as he mumbled irritably, “Got his scent all over his fingers, huh? Good. Very good.”
Door slamming into the small cabinet beside it as the weathered wood was forcefully thrown open, Lohen startled from his light nap to a familiar rifle's barrel pointing down at him, nudging against his lower lip before his mouth fell open obediently and allowed the muzzle to weigh heavily against his tongue.
A click fell, then another. Two empty rounds fired into the rabbit's throat while it remained completely unmoving. Eyebrows drawing together in confusion, those fierce dual-tone eyes merely gazed at the hunter quizzically, forcing a shuddering breath from Alyosha as his tense nerves finally relaxed from the strangely grounding response he was presented with.
“You're quite close to that Grand Master of yours, aren't you? Probably had his hands all over your body, too.”, Alyosha mused, uncharacteristically spiteful, as he pulled the rifle from the rabbit's mouth.
Suddenly moving forward to rub his cheek, almost affectionately so, against the hound's abdomen, Lohen's lips stretched into a sly smile as he felt Alyosha freeze beneath his touch. “That's what all this is about? You're seriously throwing a jealous fit? That's pathetic, you know it is.”, Lohen purred mockingly before one of Alyosha's hands quickly buried into his mint-teal hair, yanking Lohen's head backward and glaring down into those amused eyes as the hound snapped back with a crude retort, “That's rich, coming from a whore.”
Lips curling into an even more bewitching smile, Lohen hummed lightly while his hands worked open the hunter's pants unscrupulously, wrapping his slender fingers around the twitching length as he mused aloud, “I was a whore when you had me on that frozen lake and fucked me apart for an entire night, I was a whore when you used me as a cockwarmer in my sleep– A whore is what you need me to be, Alexei. Don't start using it like an accusation against me because of some ridiculous jealousy.”
Getting that self-mocking outburst off his chest, Lohen eagerly took the flushed cock before him into his small mouth, dual-tone eyes peeking seductively at the hound through his mint-teal bangs as a deep, shuddering breath fell from Alyosha's lips.
All the heaviness that had weighed him down was taken off Alyosha's shoulders just like that, grip on the rabbit's hair remaining firm as he guided him further down his length, watching Lohen obediently take him all the way to the back of his throat with the exhilarating realization that he seemed to not even have a gag reflex. Shelving that knowledge for future purposes, Alyosha rutted further down the rabbit's mouth until its pliant throat granted him entry, Lohen's nose pressing uncomfortably into coarse hair when he finally took it all the way to the base.
“It doesn't matter who had you before.”, raising his other hand to gently wipe away the knight's unshed tears, Alyosha rocked his hips at a steady pace while his lips slowly pulled into a contented smile, “I'm the one who caught you in the end, you belong to me now.”
Eyes crinkling into crescents in response, Lohen hummed around Alyosha's cock while lazily pressing his tongue flat against the underside of it, simply letting himself be used however the latter pleased. A shudder ran down Alyosha's spine at the absolute control he was given once again, groaning in satisfaction and chasing his release amid sharp teeth teasing his sensitive flesh.
It was easier to look past the rabbit's clear experience now, the idea of it becoming digestible once Alyosha gave himself an advantage to it. There wasn't really an issue with it in the first place, he'd never been the kind of person to shame or view someone differently for their sexual history, it just felt a bit… wrong to think of this little rabbit offering itself so wholly to anyone other than the hunter that had caught it.
Maybe it was possessiveness, maybe it was really just some pathetic jealousy, but neither mattered when he finally released into that warm throat, those cunning dual-tone eyes gazing at him through mint-teal bangs as Lohen swallowed around him. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Alyosha pulled the rabbit's head back carefully before his knot could fully take in its small mouth, then reaching a hand down to gently rub against Lohen's strained throat while he muttered helplessly, “... You didn't have to swallow that.”
Craning his neck in Alyosha's caress, Lohen's lips pushed out into an aggrieved pout before he snapped back with a slightly hoarse voice, “Want me to throw it up, then?” Getting used to the snarky rabbit's moodiness might take him some time, Alyosha thought while a light smile stretched across his lips, “Just rinse your mouth properly, I caught us dinner on the way back.”
There was a twitch in the rabbit's eyes, annoyance forming in his expression as Lohen tugged at the thick collar that sat heavily around his neck, causing the little bell attached to it to jingle awkwardly as the adjacent leash pulled taut from what little leeway it had been left with.
“So, untie me then, my dear oh-so-kind owner. I've had to take a piss since you left, asshole.”, Lohen remarked snarkily, lips curling as he watched the hound’s face take on a deep flush as Alyosha's floppy ears twitched feebly. Swift hands silently undoing the leash from where it had been tied to, Alyosha watching Lohen rush to the bathroom with a few more crude insults falling from his just cum-coated tongue.
Maybe, had Alyosha been in a little less flustered state, he could have used the knight's urgency to put him a bit into place. A shame that some of the restraints he had placed on himself still remained.
⏲
Flashing across the snow-coated scenery, an intricately curved dagger pierced through the jumpy rabbit's skull with trained precision, red dying the pure ground below after it plummeted down heavily. Moving away from the slain mammal, the barrel’s focus shifted to slender legs clad in thigh-high boots instead, keenly tracing their unhurried steps until a familiar coat slid lower down the sliver of bare thighs as Lohen bent his waist to pick the fluffy thing up.
With a grimace flitting across his slightly flushed face, Lohen held the spoils of his hunt up proudly, disregarding the discomfort in his frostbitten skin and the crusted snow burning into his fluffy long ears as he crossed the empty clearing with an excited exclamation, “I'm pretty good at this, aren't I? Probably much better than you are by now.”
Receiving only a lackluster hum in response, Lohen merely rolled his eyes before he let a pair of strong hands press into the back of his meaty thighs and pull him in closer, glancing down amusedly as Alyosha's chin came to rest against his abdomen.
Tossing the little rabbit onto a startling pile of many more right next to where Alyosha sat, Lohen looked into gentle golden-yellow eyes as he asked the actual hunter between them, “How many were that now?” By this point Alyosha truly didn't know anymore, he had already stopped counting somewhere around the twentieth rabbit carcass, so he just replied humorously, “Their entire population, that last one there was already their messiah.”
“Hah.”, Lohen let out a light snort as he pushed away the hunter's thick fuzzy hood to card his fingers through pale green hair and teasingly pet that pair of floppy ears, “You really are getting funnier by the day, Alyosha.” Warmth spread from the hound's chest to the back of his nape as the recently grown familiar nickname fell, holding the rabbit impossibly closer as his lips pressed against the thick coat that he had insisted for Lohen to put on if he wanted them to go out for some ‘enrichment’.
Weeks had already passed since their first abstract encounter, a little over two months now– nearing almost three, but Alyosha still remained wary of this free-spirited little rabbit attempting to hop its way out of the warm little cage he painstakingly had built for it.
Thus, with a quick flick of his wrist, Alyosha clicked the loose end of Lohen's collared leash back to the cuff strapped just below his own hand before he finally exhaled a relieved breath. It had looked impossibly cute trailing after Lohen while he rushed across the snow-coated clearing and chased those fearful little rabbits, but it had also been an incredibly risky thing, it gave Lohen the chance for an opportunity which Alyosha probably would not let him have again anytime soon.
Twirling a few strands of the hound's soft hair around his fingers, Lohen gave them a light tug to force Alyosha's gaze back to his own face before he questioned in a whiny tone, “What are you fretting about this time? If I had wanted to leave I would already be over all hills and far away by now.” Giving the pale green hair another tug, a startled gasp was pushed from Lohen's lungs when he was suddenly dragged down to straddle Alyosha's lap, strong arms curling around the small of his back.
Burying his face into the rabbit's neck, Alyosha began to trail light kisses right above and below the tightly adjusted collar that made another quiet jingle as his nose nudged it lightly, voice barely above a murmur as he answered, “How can I not be worried that you will try to hop away while I'm gone? With this… job I might be away for weeks this time, bunny.”
“I've survived on my own in the wild far longer than that. Do you really think I would give up my cozy life under your care so easily?”, Lohen retorted amusedly while craning his neck to give the hound easier access, sighing contentedly as Alyosha began to gently nip at his already marked skin. “Besides, I'm sure you have already arranged for someone to keep watch over me in your absence again, isn't that right? You're such a careful and responsible owner, after all.”
Pressing his flushed face further into the curve of Lohen's slender neck, Alyosha sucked harshly on a particularly sensitive spot that he had long grown keenly aware of, not relenting until a shuddering moan fell from his little rabbit’s lips as it tugged harshly on his hair. Bucking his hips upward, Alyosha was rewarded with another deep moan that turned into a confused cry when he let himself drop backward off the short stump he had sat on, forcing the pitifully startled rabbit into hovering right over his chest.
“Lohen.”, Alyosha breathed heavily as his hands gripped his rabbit's supple thighs, pulling Lohen in closer until his crotch was mere inches above the greedy hound's face. “Let me taste you tonight, please, it will be too long until the next time I can have you again.”
Knowing very well by now just how insatiable the hound could be during the nights before they were about to depart for an unspecified amount of time, Lohen adjusted his boot-clad knees on the snow-covered ground before he lowered himself on Alyosha's face, moaning breathily as his thin layer of underwear was eagerly lapped at amid the chilly air.
To wear the hound's ridiculously thick coat meant to forego wearing any pants; that had been the compromise Lohen had insisted on earlier that day, masochistically anticipating the frostbitten skin he was sure to be left with by the end of it. Working in his favor, as expected, it now felt wonderful under the burning touch of Alyosha's hands and tongue.
“Alyosha”, Lohen called out the name with a sweet lilt in his voice, tangling his fingers in that pale green hair as he ground against the drag of the hound's hot tongue, “I could just suffocate you like this, right now. All I need to do is squeeze my thighs a liiittle bit and just sit… Wanna find out how long you could endure that?”
Grip tightening to the point of bruising, Alyosha's fingers dug painfully into the soft flesh of Lohen's thighs as his teeth caught on the soaked fabric, groaning and regarding the evil rabbit above him with an upset furrow of his brows in response. Forced into halting his movements, Lohen chuckled lightly as he glanced down to meet Alyosha's disapproving expression, “Mmh, not in the mood for that? Next time, then.”
Pulling away one of his hands that had still remained in the hound's soft hair, Lohen reached between his spread thighs to kindly tug aside his panties– an intricately designed thin lace fabric with an almost obnoxious little heart ornament at the top, a rare splurge that Alyosha had gifted Lohen recently. It wasn't hard to picture how that purchase must have went; the usually stingy and frugal hunter's freckled face dusted with a layer of pink as he exchanged a considerable amount of mora for just some erotic underwear. A shame that Lohen hadn't been present to witness that sight.
Imagining that scene again sent a shiver through Lohen's already frosty body. Lips curling into a meaningful smirk as he pressed his now bare cunt against Alyosha's still outstretched tongue, Lohen urged the latter on with a shuddering moan, “Have at it, pup. Consider this a consolation prize for being outperformed by a mere knight.”
At it, Alyosha went, eagerly driving his tongue into the rabbit's drenched pussy with the fervor of a man that hadn't been sheathed in it just the previous night. (Or the one before, for that matter.) Dragging the rabbit impossibly closer by his quivering thighs, Alyosha's tongue pushed into the tightness with a satisfied groan. Tugging harshly at the hound's pale green hair in response, Lohen arched his back uselessly against the strong hold on him, grinding in tandem against the wet muscle inside of him and thumbing at his tender clit while deep moans slipped from his lips.
“Not enough.”, Lohen complained with a low whine, in spite of his dripping juices steadily drenching Alyosha's cheeks and jaw, forcing himself down dangerously low on the hunter's face until the grip on one of his thighs left him. With a twist of the firm leash, Lohen's throat constricted suddenly as Alyosha yanked his head back with a harsh tug on the knight's tight collar.
Startled by the abruptness of it, Lohen only managed to force out a choked noise before his legs shook violently on the sides of Alyosha's head, constricting around the hound's tongue as a heavy climax wrecked through his body. Unrelentingly, Alyosha continued to push against the flood, greedily swallowing whatever he could catch despite Lohen's feeble attempts of yanking him away by the hair.
“Enough– Enough!”, the rabbit cried out in frustration before it managed to finally lift off the insatiable mouth beneath, forcing himself upright on soft legs as Lohen glared fiercely at the unabashed hound that still had the audacity to lick up the remainder of Lohen's fluid from the corner of his mouth. “Will you ever learn when to sto–uhhn?!”
Vision spinning, still bleary from his release to begin with, Lohen felt his body sway before strong arms curled around the back of his thighs. Suppressing a sudden burst of nausea, Lohen stared dumbfoundedly at the shifting ground below him as he was carried away by Alyosha without warning.
Warmth embraced his frostnipped bare lower body as they stepped through the threshold of the cabin, pulling a soft mewl from Lohen's lips before his back fell onto soft bedding, followed by the quiet click of the leash coming off the cuff on Alyosha's wrist. Lifting himself upright on his elbows, Lohen keenly observed Alyosha's movements as the hound hurriedly got undressed by the table, reaching for a certain small container when Lohen's harsh words fell across the room, “Absolutely fucking not. Don't even dream of it, Alexei.”
The pair of floppy dog ears atop Alyosha's head pulled flat pitifully at the denial and cold drop of his name. “Just this once– It'll be the last time, I promise.”, Alyosha tried weakly, not daring to face the exasperated rabbit on the bed. “It'll be the last time because it's gonna be empty afterwards!”, Lohen retorted incredulously, clamping his trembling thighs together instinctively as he exclaimed, “You're addicted– Addicted to fucking me stupid! I'm not taking another single drop of that ever again.”
Making his way over to the bed with the nearly empty vial in hand regardless, Alyosha sheepishly tried to convince the jumpy rabbit once more, “That's why I swear this will be the last time. Do me this one last favor before I'll have to part from you indefinitely, please.”
“You are so manipulative sometimes.”, Lohen complained with a ridiculing grin across his lips, yet still allowing the hound to take him by the chin and tilt his head back before Alyosha's thumb pried the rabbit's lips apart with a gentle press to the plush skin. “You’re just too agreeable with me, sometimes.”, Alyosha mused with a contented smile before he tipped the small vial against Lohen's bottom lip, watching the dark liquid slowly drip down his throat with eager anticipation.
What followed happened too quickly for Alyosha to react, Lohen's eyes curling mischievously before he grabbed a fistful of that pale green hair and forced their lips into a firm kiss. Biting down harshly on Alyosha's bottom lip, satisfied at the deep groan that left his desperate dog of an owner, Lohen rubbed the residual liquid from his own tongue off on Alyosha's before he cruelly yanked the hound's head away.
“There'd be no fun in me being wholly compliant. But if that's really what you want, go ahead.”, Lohen purred while ridding himself excruciatingly slowly of the thick coat and sweater he had worn, still boot-clad legs curling around the back of the hound's bare legs before the leash's end was bound tightly around Alyosha's own neck, “You can try to train me like one of your mutts.”
Twitching embarrassingly between his legs just from the slight pressure against his neck, Alyosha could have sworn that the drug had already taken effect– despite the unremarkably small amount he had received. Not to mention that its onset of action would usually take quite a bit longer. Unsurprisingly, Alyosha simply couldn't deny to himself that the idea of ‘training’ his little rabbit, in a manner reserved for the hunting dogs that he had raised, was unimaginably appealing to him.
“Lohen, please.”, Alyosha whined, not even knowing what he was pleading for when a tug on the leash around his neck forced him to lower himself until he was on eye level with the grinning rabbit. “Please what? Speak in proper sentences, this little rabbit of yours can't read minds.”, Lohen teased mockingly while a faint layer of pink slowly crept across his cheeks, actually facing the effects of his proper dose much sooner than the hound would.
“Lohen, please.”, Alyosha repeated stubbornly as he pressed the little rabbit flat on its back, climbing on the bed and hovering over Lohen’s thin frame before his hands grabbed that slender waist firmly, “Please, let me claim every inch of your body tonight. Let me mark you properly before I leave.”
A shudder spread from the touch against Lohen's hips, traveling to the growing heat between his legs as he gasped softly. Placing his hands over the leash around the hound's neck, Lohen pulled him closer until his lips could brush against the fur of Alyosha's gradually warming ear. “Then I'll be yours tonight, Alyosha. Use me however you please.”
What would only ever remain in bed between them was Lohen's desire to let the feebly pretending to be strong hound have full control over him, having long become aware of how Alyosha reveled in the illusion of being in control as he took charge of the way their bodies would be fitted together.
Sharp pain shot through Lohen's neck, crying out with a high moan as Alyosha's teeth suddenly sunk into the tender skin right under the thick collar that the rabbit grew accustomed to wearing day and night, adding just another deep bruise that would be impossible to cover for a while around it. “Damn that dog mouth of yours!”, Lohen cursed in a whiny tone before he pulled a leg toward his chest, the steeled tip of his boot pressing cruelly into the soft flesh just below the head of Alyosha's flushed cock while the push of his knee forced some distance between them.
Alyosha's expression twisted in pain, dazed eyes settling on the rabbit's freshly injured neck while his bloodied lips parted around a pained groan. “You gave me permission.”, Alyosha insisted around a pitiful whine, trying to shift away from the cruel material against his sensitive flesh, only for the pressure to grow more intense instead. Choking around another pained noise, the collar around Lohen’s neck tightened as Alyosha's trembling hand adjusted it an entire size smaller with just a strong tug– still breathable, barely.
“Be good for me. I deserve this after taking you outside today.”, Alyosha urged pleadingly, hips stuttering involuntarily against the boot's drag along the underside of his cock while Lohen retorted breathlessly after his long ears had drooped flat against mint-teal hair, “I am being good. Aren't you enjoying it?”
Hanging his head shamefully, Alyosha began to rut against the curve of Lohen's boot-clad foot as he leaned down once more, lips ghosting from the rabbit's neck to his chest as he left a trail of light kisses. “You're such an evil thing.”, teeth grazed those sensitive nipples, receiving a shuddering moan in response. “Never just listen to me, always trying to play mind games.”, Alyosha's mouth closed around one of the perky pink buds, sucking lightly amid the urgently quickening pace of his hips.
“Alyosha.”, Lohen called his name around a soft moan before Alyosha's head was yanked back with a tight clutch of his hair, whimpering quietly as his hips were stilled by the force of Lohen's boot pressing up against his painfully throbbing cock. Chest flushed just as deeply as his face was by now, Lohen's lips curled into a wry smile as he spoke breathily through gritted teeth, “Stop being so awfully gentle with me. If you want it, take it properly.”
The complaint shifted something in Alyosha's mind, pushing forth the reminder to his hazy mind that his little rabbit truly still disliked any and all of his gentle advances. It tore sharply at something deep inside of Alyosha's burning chest, reminiscent of the knight's most favored dagger's twisted blade cutting into him, both things being something that Alyosha had long stopped being a stranger to.
An odd noise pushed from Alyosha's chest, something strangely animalistic, eerily similar to a growl he'd realize embarrassingly. “Would it genuinely kill you if you didn't complain or act bossy the whole time for once?”, Alyosha grunted, fist curling tightly around Lohen’s ankle before the rabbit's knee was forcefully pressed toward its chest instead, the other leg folded in the same manner as the hound readjusted his position.
“Why, it always gets me what I wan–”, a strong hand clamped around the chatty rabbit's mouth, muting its voice as Alyosha glared down at Lohen with a slight furrow in his brows. “You'll get what you want, alright, you just need to stay in place and hold your tongue for once.”, the foreign gruffness in his own voice would have bothered Alyosha in any other moment, but it became somewhat agreeable when it seemed to be just what his disobedient rabbit needed to do what it was told for a change.
Hands sliding between the soft press of flesh on the underside of his knees, Lohen's eyes curled with that familiar allure as he went so far as to keep the flexible limbs parted just a tad further, watching Alyosha swallow hard as the hound's eyes trailed lower on his body. Lohen then teasingly ran his tongue against the rough skin of Alyosha's palm, forcing the hound's gaze to settle back on the rabbit's face before his lips pulled into a small pout, “... You're just as insufferable as you are irresistible.”
Trailing his free hand along the faintly flushed skin of those supple thighs, it came to rest on top of the mound eagerly burning between Lohen's legs, teasing the plush folds before Alyosha dipped his pair of fingers inside. A strong shudder ran through Lohen's body, the effects of that cursed vial unimaginably intensifying his sensitivity at the slightest intrusion.
Sharp teeth bit into the moist skin of Alyosha's palm, drawing a hiss from the hound before he finally removed his hand to rest it around Lohen’s neck instead, pressing his thumb right under the collar's edge as the knight's quiet moans could finally be heard again. “There's only tonight left.”, Lohen pointed out around a breathy moan as Alyosha's fingers suddenly curled deeper into him, lips twisting into a wry smile before he regarded the hound's face contorted in irritation and urged him on, “Will you stop wasting what little time you have with me?”
Brows furrowing tighter, Alyosha made a disgruntled noise before he drew his fingers from Lohen's tight embrace, huffing lightly at the choked whine their departure drew from the provoking rabbit. Alyosha hated the way those words sounded, loathed the way Lohen spoke as if they wouldn't have each other again after this night. It was something which became truly unbearable to his already fuzzying mind.
“Bunny.”, Alyosha voiced the new nickname affectionately, gazing into Lohen's wide eyes while his grip tightened around the rabbit's slender neck. “If tonight is the last of my time with you, then at least let it be kind.”, almost pleadingly, Alyosha asked of the deceptively soft little rabbit before he leaned down to press their lips together, using Lohen's lips parting around a startled cry to push his tongue into that mouth prone to spewing only cruelty as their hips snapped together in a single forceful slide.
Body wrecked by the intense shudder of his climax, Lohen wrapped his flailing arms tightly around Alyosha's neck as his boot-clad legs circled the hound's strong waist, whining softly against the territorial muscle invading his mouth before Alyosha finally pulled them apart again. Lowering his eyes from Lohen's flushed face and teary eyes, Alyosha's lips tugged upward as he regarded the fluid dripping between their connected bodies with a thoughtless remark, “Getting inside of you still is all it takes to get you off…”
Gritting his teeth against another shaky moan that almost dared to slip from him, Lohen’s legs locked tighter around the hound as he tugged the end of the leash taut around Alyosha's throat, mewling at the sudden buck of his hips before Lohen's voice rose to a sweet lilt, “You like that, mmh? Still making me cum so easily must make you so happy.” Lohen's body shifted, positioning himself comfortably before his hips ground against the base of Alyosha's cock while he bared his neck submissively under the hound's grasp.
A deep moan fell from his lips as Lohen faced the hunter with a hint of genuine gentleness in his fierce eyes for the first time since the end of that barrel had first pointed his way. “Go ahead pup, I'll be good for you tonight.”, Lohen promised, dragging Alyosha even lower by the leash until he was nosing into the crook of the knight's fair neck.
It was really just an order feebly disguised as submission. Daring Alyosha to push beyond his own boundaries, to let those vile urges inside of him fully take control. They should have saved the rest of that vial, Alyosha would regret having overindulged in it once the effects eventually wore off. But until then, it couldn't stop the hound from tossing and turning his little rabbit however he pleased, from nightfall to when the first rays of morning light shone feebly through the cloudy winterland sky.
“Lohen…”, breathing lightly against his rabbit's sweat-soaked hair, Alyosha eventually called out quietly, receiving only a few more tearful moans in response before his fingers worked the messy and disheveled rabbit in his hold into a final dry release, Lohen's overexerted body finally falling limp as Alyosha's thrusts stuttered between his chaffed thighs.
“Lohen.”, Alyosha repeated, the name now firmer on his tongue as he relaxed against the rabbit's back and held it closely to his chest. Drawing the blanket haphazardly around their filthy bodies, his lips pressed gently against Lohen's once fair neck– now marred beyond recognition with marks and bruises left by Alyosha's very own teeth and hands.
“Can't you just tell me how?”, a pitiful whimper fell from Alyosha's lips as they sucked another mark into the last sliver of unblemished skin until he finally released it again with a trembling breath. Lohen's body twisted ever so slightly in his sleep, a light noise leaving him as the movement made Alyosha's palm shift against his stomach while the other rose to carefully stroke the rabbit's furry long ears. An unmentionable emotion filled Alyosha's chest, nuzzling into the crook of Lohen's neck as the big hound wondered pitifully, “How can I keep you by my side?”
A choked sob stuck in Alyosha's throat when a warm palm rested atop his own, hearing a quiet noise leaving the little rabbit in his hold. Lohen actually purred, in that toothy way rabbits do once they felt content and relaxed in their safe and warm burrows. Alyosha was safe. Alyosha was safe and Lohen was content in Alyosha's hold. “Lohen, I…”, Alyosha attempted to whisper as the first tears fell, wetting the warm neck before him, “lo–” Lohen's legs shifted, pressing against the knot Alyosha had already forgotten about before this movement pushed a low groan from him.
It was a welcome disruption, saving Alyosha from losing whatever last shred of grace he even had left. Breathing against the rabbit's neck while nosing deeper into it, Alyosha's body slowly relaxed as his tired mind finally came to rest. Grinding his slightly protruding clattering teeth down firmly, a shaky sigh fell from Lohen's lips as his exhausted gaze fixed on the nearly fizzled out flame of the cabin's fireplace, allowing the strangely relatable sight to lull him into a deep sleep.
Lohen woke up to the sound of shuffling, cracking a tired eye open to the welcome sight of the hound's bare backside. A satisfied hum rolled off the rabbit's tongue as it took in the deep red scratches lining the firm muscles of Alyosha's back. Floppy ears perking up attentively at the quiet sound, Alyosha's puffy tail swished with the movement of him turning around before his finally sober mind startled abruptly as he truly took in his rabbit's thoroughly bruised and marked skin from just the chest upward.
“I'm sorry, I–”, averting his gaze with a deep flush across his freckled face, Alyosha's tongue twisted and tied itself up as guilt mixed with the bound of arousal that couldn't be suppressed after the sight of what he himself had caused the previous night. “Whatever are you apologizing for now?”, voice still groggy with sleep, Lohen asked impatiently while he slowly rose to lift his aching body from the bed. Barely having lifted his back off the stained bedsheet, a jingling noise rang loudly in Lohen's throbbing head as it was forced back down against the pillow.
Willing down the sudden nausea brought by the strong pull and the swirling vision it temporarily caused him, Lohen's lips parted around an uncharacteristically pathetic noise when his long ears twitched against the cold touch of metal. Attached to the collar around his neck was not the leather leash that Lohen was familiar with. Instead of it, he could feel a new sliver of metal at the very back of his collar, trembling hands feeling along the tightly strung metal chain that connected it to the bed's headboard.
“Alexei.”, the name left Lohen in stead of an unmentionable curse, not feeling much different in Alyosha's drawn down ears as the hound vehemently refused to face the latter again. “You dumb fucking mutt.”, Lohen still cursed in the end as he failed to remove the heavy chain from either the back of his collar or the headrest, angry dual-tone eyes burning into the side of Alyosha's face while he demanded, “At least look at me, you sick dog.”
Tail tugged between his legs, Alyosha trudged toward the bed with his head hanging low before he fell to his knees to be at eye level with Lohen. Crack. A sharp slap fell across Alyosha's freckled cheek, following it a faint line of red slowly appeared on the skin that had been sliced by the silver ring on Lohen's pointer finger. “Explain yourself before I really get mad.”, yanking the hound's head back by gripping a fistful of that pale green hair, Lohen warned as Alyosha's dazed eyes regarded him tremblingly.
“I'm sorr–”, the attempt of an apology was cut short by an equally harsh slap to Alyosha's other cheek this time, whining pitifully as tears stung in his desperate eyes. “Explain yourself.”, Lohen repeated more firmly before the fingers of his free hand dug into the hound's freshly injured skin.
“Don't want you to leave. Can't let you leave.”, Alyosha finally answered around a pained cry while Lohen's nails scratched down the swell of his bruised cheek. “Please. Stay here, bunny, with me. I've been so good to you, treated you so well–”, a loud sob left Alyosha as both of Lohen's hands parted from him, desperately clamoring for the rabbit's slender wrist before he struck Lohen's open palm against his own cheek once more.
Pain had never been something that Alyosha would willingly have inflicted on him, he had actually been scared a reasonable amount of getting injured before he met Lohen. It wasn't that Alyosha enjoyed having pain inflicted on him now, what he truly enjoyed had been the look of exhilaration and sheer bliss on his rabbit's face whenever it harshly brought those warm paws down on his body, sometimes even opting for its treasured and intricately curved dagger instead of dirtying those pristine paws.
“I'll let you hit me as much as you want, I'll let you do anything you want to me.”, Alyosha continued pleadingly, the unconcealed disgust in Lohen's eyes more painful than the stinging sensation of his skin as he brought the rabbit's reddened palm down on his already swollen face again. Tasting copper on his tongue, Alyosha's grip finally loosened slightly around the rabbit's wrist. Bringing it to his face, Alyosha covered the imprint of his fingers around it with wet kisses and bloodied licks as he reiterated tremblingly, “I can't let you leave.”
The tear-glazed gaze of those beautiful golden-yellow eyes remained unwaveringly on Lohen, even when the battered hound before him extended the messy worship of his wrist further up his arm. “Does it hurt?”, Lohen casually changed the topic once the hound's lips had traveled just past the bend of his elbow. “It doesn't” almost came Alyosha's immediate response, but he quickly realized that the rabbit's gaze seemed to trail far lower than just his bruised face.
Daring to follow those vivid dual-tone eyes, Alyoshs let out a strangled choke at the sight of his weeping cock and the small puddle of precum that had already dripped from it. It hurt, it really did. And the hound hadn't even been aware of his own predicament, too lost in the sensation of striking himself with the rabbit's soft palm to realize how it affected the aching length between his own legs. “Hurts.”, was all which Alyosha managed to croak out as an answer instead.
“It's unbearable, isn't it?”, Lohen cooed pityingly, watching the hound nod his head continuously in response before his fingers danced over the cold metal of the chain that bound him. “Want me to take care of it, pup? You just have to get this off of me and I will.”, almost having him right where he wanted, Lohen's eyes twitched irritably as Alyosha's nodding suddenly turned into fervently shaking his head, floppy ears swinging stupidly among stray strands of pale green hair.
“Not taking it off. You will try to leave.”, Alyosha insisted stubbornly before his body rose from the ground. Another insult hung ready on the back of Lohen's tongue before the mattress suddenly sunk under the hound's weight as Alyosha's somewhat bigger frame hovered above the startled rabbit. Drawing the blanket from the rabbit's slim body before his rough hands caressed the underside of its fleshy thighs, Lohen finally startled from his stupor as a breathy moan left him from the touch against his still sensitive bruised and bitten skin.
“What are you doi–nnhgh?!”, a startled cry fell from Lohen's lips as his legs were suddenly raised from the hound's firm grip on the bend of his knees, watching in astonishment as his thighs squeezed snugly around Alyosha's flushed and already slickened cock. “Making you take care of it.”, was the breathy answer to Lohen's unfinished question before Alyosha's hips snapped harshly against the back of his supple thighs, aggravating the chaffed skin that still remained from the previous night's ordeal.
Pain and pleasure mixed for both of them. Alyosha's cut cheek pressed against the soft skin of Lohen's calf while he keenly observed how the rabbit's wet cunt squeezed and spasmed around nothing, the drag of Alyosha's cock just shy of caressing those glistening folds. It was irresistibly tantalizing, almost winning against Alyosha's resolve before he willed himself to not give in to the inviting heat he was sure to be met with.
A loud sob broke through the unceasing moans that spilled from Lohen's parted lips, clawing for the hound's arms as he felt the swell of Alyosha's knot begin to form as it dragged through his tightly clenched limbs. It just wasn't right, it wasn't inside. If Alyosha's next thrust didn't enter his ready cunt, he wouldn't— Warmth coated his abdomen, wasted cum spilling from the knot which had fully formed between Lohen's thighs as his own arousal dissipated and left him with naught but the emptiness inside of him that still begged to be filled.
“I'm sorry.”, a faint apology sounded somewhere in Lohen's dull mind, feeling the hound's fingers ghost across his sticky abdomen before the mess was crudely smeared against his aching cunt. “This way, you'll… You'll wait obediently for me to fill you up properly when I return. You will.”, Alyosha convinced himself as he carefully parted from his aggrieved rabbit. Anger filled Lohen's chest before the initial hurt could fully settle in it, fueling Lohen as he refused to look at the offensive mutt even once more while Alyosha dejectedly got prepared for his departure.
With one hand already on the door, Alyosha finally glanced back. Burning the image of his rabbit's body covered wholly in traces of himself to the front of his mind, Alyosha's lips quivered around words which should have been spoken before he thought better of it and resolutely stepped into the biting cold. Alyosha would just tell Lohen everything once he returned.
Low creaking accompanied her entrance as Vodyanitsa pushed open the worn cabin door with familiarity, more stunned at the sight of a fully dressed Lohen standing across from her than the fact that he was free of any restraints. The knight was an experienced master of deception and manipulation, she had long learned that much about him.
“Are you actually leaving this time?”, the fair mermaid asked as she casually took a seat by the table, not oblivious to the rabbit's bristling as his long ears pulled back against his head, before Lohen tried to play it off with a loud scoff. “Or else? Shall I just stay and wait for that mad dog, to see what other crazy shit he will pull on me?”
Glancing at the messy bed across the room, Vodyanitsa really truly wished that she hadn't, but at least she could find some meaningful answer in the frosted metal that lay shattered on the pillow. It wasn't like she could blame him– Who knows how long she could have endured in his position? Had it been her, ‘escaping’ would have been the immediate choice from the first time she'd been asked to check up on the new “pet” which her hunter friend had been keeping.
It was a sight that she still hadn't even fully recovered from, not that the knight wasn't objectively attractive. But had that very knight had any decency to cover himself before her announced arrival, she would have been able to happily go on with the rest of her life without knowing all the nooks and crannies that bites and bruises like those were even possible in.
“You know that I won't stop you. Nor will I let Alyosha know that you left, for the sake of his mission. But…”, the mermaid's clear eyes lowered as she watched the knight fiddling with the corset of his now rarely worn uniform before her gaze rose back to the familiar cloak that was strewn across his shoulders. “Are you sure that you can stay apart from him?”
Giving up on the final string of his ill-fitting corset, the knight shot her an irritated glance before Lohen retorted mockingly, “We've known each other for less than the quarter of a year. I've gotten over guys I spent years fooling around with by just finding another one to fill that hole. Figuratively and literally.”
Nose scrunching at the distasteful remark, the mermaid's ear fins shuddered before she simply tossed her face away from the knight with a haughty huff. “Safe travels, then. Don't let your words come back to bite you later.”
“I'm not letting anything bite me for the next couple of years, I think.”, Lohen remarked as an imperceptible shudder brushed across his clothed skin. Pulling something from whatever pocket Vodyanitsa wasn't able to even see, she eyed the two items that were placed before her quizzically before Lohen offered somewhat of an explanation, “Be a darling and give these to him when he returns. It's my oh-so-kind and generous parting gift to him, got it?”
Lifting the cloak's eared hood over his head, Lohen bid the mermaid farewell with a dramatic knightly bow. Departing from the cabin that had been his “home” for the past couple of months without looking back. Vodyanitsa continued to watch as Lohen lazily tossed a dagger in the air until the frosty fog completely swallowed his silhouette.
Regarding the suspiciously poison-looking vial and the, already stretched from wear, leather choker in front of her? Vodyanitsa was a firm believer in the saying that some things are better left unsaid, just as some questions are better left unanswered.
