It’s a breezy autumn evening at Little Garden, an island town where I live. I’m Rauno, a wolf from Finland. I work as a hunter who fights daemons that attack other anthros. I take my training seriously, because I am committed to protecting the Animalands and my friends. More importantly, I want to have a happy future with my boyfriend, Einar. He’s a German shepard and the son of a business tycoon in the West Continent. Together, we fought and won many battles against our enemies.

We’re currently at the gym, finishing our high intensity work out. We had a full day of work, so the two of us made plans to work out after dinner. Not only am I a wrestler, but I’m also a bodybuilder. Ever since I was a teenager, I trained my body to get big and muscular. I love staying fit and getting bulkier, and I enjoy showing off my bulk to others. Einar shares the same passion for bodybuilding as I do, so we train together often. Thanks to his support, I’ve gotten stronger, and more confident in myself.

While he is doing a set of incline bench presses, I’m performing a set of weighted pull ups. I’m around 271 pounds, and I added an extra 25 pounds around my waist, so I am definitely giving my muscles a good work out. After pulling myself up to the bar 5 times, I let go and land safely on my feet. Untying a 25 pound plate around my waist, I set it down, and wiped sweat off my forehead. At the same time, Einar sets the barbell on the rack and sits up. He let out a sigh while getting up. “I think I’m good for the night.” He said.

“Me too. Do you want to shower here or at home?” I said while tossing him a water bottle.

He catches it, and takes a swig. “No one’s here, so let’s use their shower.”

We make our way to the shower room. Just as Einar said, no one was using it. We set our stuff down, undress, and turn on two shower heads. Setting the water to lukewarm, we go under them, and let the water run down our bodies while we wash the sweat off our fur. I let out a content sigh while letting the water hit my face. After that, I grab a bottle of shampoo, lather it onto my paws, and start scrubbing the foam all over my body. The room started to smell like pine, my favorite scent.

While I wash my abs, I glance at Einar, who’s washing his legs. He looked a little stiff while washing himself. Now that I think about it, this is the first time we’re showering together and alone. I don’t want to make him uncomfortable, so I look away and focus on washing myself. While I grasp the end of my tail and run my paw down to the tip, I hear Einar exhale after washing his face. “Did you get enough shampoo?”

“I did. Why? Need some?”

“No. Just making sure.” He looks away, getting the last bits of foam off his body before turning off the water. He gets down on all fours, and shakes the water off his body, like a wild dog looking like a torpedo while shaking. His fur puffs up a bit. I hide my giggle while he walks past me. “Rauno. Umm… Do you want to spend the night together?”

I freeze in place. I slowly crank my head towards him, my eyes widened from my surprise. “Just you and me?”

“Yeah? Who else?” He said in a blank tone.

“S-sure!” I got so excited that I kinda shouted that. I turn off the shower head, shake water off my body, and follow him to the room by the lockers that act as a giant blow dryer to dry fur. Little Garden has fantastic technology, so having this makes drying so quickly for furry anthros like us. After a 2 minute dry cycle, we use a brush to comb our fur, and walk out with towels around our waist. While Einar was grabbing his clothes out of his locker, I stared at myself in the mirror, flexing my arms and admiring myself. “Hello again, you handsome hunk of wolf muscle.” Einar had a soft smile on his face while staring at me with an unamused look. He grabs my pair of gray underwear and throws it at my face. I laugh while pulling it off my muzzle.

After we put on our clothes, we walk out of the gym and make our way to his house. The inside is very clean. The living room had a wide couch with a big screen tv in front of it, shelves and tables have decorations of clocks, house plants, and pictures lined up neatly, and there is a view of the open kitchen and dining room. Einar walks up to the fridge and reads a note on the side. “Vern is taking the night watch, so we basically got the place to ourselves.”

“Oh. Sweet.” I put my paws behind my head and walk to the couch. “Then, wanna chill with a movie before bed?”

Einar was silent for a moment, he slowly wandered the living room, awkwardly moving a wooden carving of a puma and setting it by the fish bowl. “Actually, there was something serious I wanted to talk to you about.”

Something serious? That’s usually not a good sign. I felt a pit form in my stomach. I get up and I follow him to his bedroom. He has it all neat and tidy. His desk has a computer with a set of books and notepads on the side, his shelves are lined with photos of him, his mom, and his friends, and his king sized bed has its blankets tucked in. He sits down, and pats the spot next to him. I sit next to him, and give him eye contact.

“What’s up, Einar?” I said while gently cuffing his wrist.

He lifts his free paw and sets it on top of mine, gently caressing it with his thumb. “Rauno. We’ve been together since Valentine's day of this year, and it’s been great.”

A soft smile formed on my muzzle. “It has been great.”

He tilts his head down and closes his eyes. “But… Lately there has been something weighing on my mind. And it’s… something that gets me pretty damn nervous.”

“What is it? You can tell me.”

Einar lifts his head and opens his eyes. “...Where do you stand on intimacy?”

My heart stops and my eyes widen. I look away and audibly gulp. “I… Oh crap. Did you notice my situation after seeing you looking buff and sexy after a swim in the pool?”

“I uhh, I did. You fled to the bathroom so fast.” He said while awkwardly looking away. We both let out a soft laugh, and then he looks back at me before continuing. “Anyways, ever since that day, I started wondering if you and I were ready to take our relationship to a more intimate level.”

My paws slightly quivered, so I took a deep breath to calm myself. “I’ll admit, I think about it too. I want to get physical with you, but I also don’t want to overstep any boundaries. I love you, and I don’t want to scare you.”

“I had a feeling you did. It’s hard for me. I had to hide my interest in guys from my Dad, because he didn’t approve of same gender relationships. I never had the time, or the chance to try dating, or understand my preferences.” He pauses while holding my paw tighter. “That said, I have been thinking about you more, Rauno. You’ve been impressing me with your muscles lately, and I get those desires to get physical with you.”

“So if you feel the same way I feel, then tonight you…” I pause for a moment. I can feel my heart beat faster. “You want to be intimate?”

Einar leans forward, setting his paw on my shoulder. “I do. I’m nervous, but… I love you, and I want to show you how much I love you.”

I’m definitely getting excited. My tail is slapping the bed multiple times. I smile and nod. “Okay, Einar. I’ll make sure that we do this in a way that’s comfortable for both of us.” I get up, close the door, dim the lights, and then turn to face Einar. “You can lead. Show me how you want to be intimate, and then you tell me what you want.”

Einar takes off his clothes, revealing his lean, muscular build. He uses magic to light a couple of candles, and then walks towards me. “Let me undress you.” I breathe through my nose and raise my arms, signaling my consent. “I always get a little aroused when I see men undress.” He says softly.

“Go right ahead.” First he grabs the bottom of my shirt, and slowly pulls it up. I raise my arms, feeling my shirt ride up until it reaches my paws, Einar pulls them off my body, and sets it on the floor. Then, he puts his paws on my chest, and gives them a gentle squeeze. I flex them, doing a brief pec dance while he stares at them. I can hear him gulp. Then, his paws wander around my upper body. His left paw goes down my arm, and his right arm wraps around my waist. He nuzzles his cheek against my chest. I reciprocate by wrapping my large arms around his body.

“I can get behind muscle worship. It’s hot.” I said softly. The bodybuilder in me really wanted to show off, so I lifted my free arm and flexed. My forearm and bicep bulge and grow slightly in mass.

He stays quiet. I let him go so he can feel my arm muscles. He let out a huff, and then walked around to stand behind me. He puts his paws on my broad back. He runs them down to the side of my lats, and squeezes them. I can hear him let out a pant. “Lift your arms. Show me how wide they get.” He said. I put my paws behind my head and flex my back, making them go as wide as possible. He let out a slow grunt.

He stays quiet. I let him go so he can walk around and stand behind me. He puts his paws on my broad back. He runs them down to the side of my lats, and squeezes them. I can hear him let out a pant. “Lift your arms. Show me how wide they get.” He said. I put my paws behind my head and flex my back, making them go as wide as possible. He let out a slow grunt.

“By the way, you have my permission to give me a love bite or two.”

Right as I say this, he went straight for a bite at my left lat muscle. I let out a grunt, and then a satisfied sigh. I feel his arm around my waist. He unbuttons my pants and pulse them down, revealing my large thighs and calves. A laugh escapes my lips while I lift my legs and kick my pants aside. Now this is getting fun. I spread my legs a bit, do a small squat, and flex my legs. Einar runs his paw down my right leg, he nods approvingly. “You inspire me, Rauno.”

“I’m flattered, babe.” I said teasingly. “Umm. As much as I enjoy this, can I give your muscles a feel now?”

He stands up, and backs up. He nodded, giving consent, so I approached him. I need to be aware of his boundaries. I’ll keep it simple and start with a hug. I wrap my arms around him, and he hugs back. I nuzzle my face into his neck fluff, and he presses his muzzle against mine. I give him a kiss on the cheek. “How’s this?”

“I like it. Thank you. You can do more than that.”

More huh? If he’s allowing it, then I’ll give him more. I licked his neck a few times. I can hear him go ‘mmm’, so I take that as a sign of approval. I couch a bit, and shove my face between his pecs. I feel his paw running down the back of my head. Then, much to my surprise, he pulls me down to the bed. Now I was on top of him. I lift my body up and stare into his eyes. “Was that accidental?”

He shakes his head. “It’s intentional. I’m… having fun.” He said with a soft smile.

“G-great!” I said before giving him a kiss on the lips. “I can be bottom if you want.

“Next time. You can be top first.” He lifts his head forward, puts his paw on my cheek, and kisses me on the lips. Then, he lays back down. Both our bodies were getting warmer, and I could hear him breathing. We’re definitely riled up. I sit on his legs, look at him with a smile, and run my paw gently down his buff chest and abs. I’m so happy that we’re doing this. I lay on top of him, press his lips into mine, and rub my body against his. He wraps his arm around my back and squeezes my back muscles.

“You handsome hunk of dog muscle.” I said softly before kissing him again. Our intimate night went on for a few more minutes. A loud yawn escapes me after we finish kissing. A laugh passed Einars lips while he lay on his side. I lay right next to him, staring lovingly into his eyes. “How was that?”

“It was fun. I appreciate you communicating with me through all of that. I’d like for this to happen again sometime.” He said while gently ruffling my cheek.

“Me too. For now though, I’m getting sleepy.” We pull the covers over us, and use our magic to blow the candles out. The room gets darker, the light from the moon and stars light the bedroom. We snuggle up close, and close our eyes. “I love you, Einar.”

“Love you too, Rauno. Goodnight.”

The end!
