Embers - [Patreon Exclusive]

The forest air was thick with twilight haze as I pressed deeper into the wilds, each step snapping twigs beneath my boots. Then came the sound, low and guttural, a growl that froze me mid-stride. Through a break in the trees, he appeared.

An Arcanine. Towering and radiant, his fur shimmered with firelight hues, casting embers into the shadows around him. Muscles rippled beneath his coat as he moved with a slow, deliberate grace. His amber eyes locked onto mine, fierce and unwavering, lit with something raw, something hungry. My heartbeat stuttered under the weight of that gaze.

The air grew hotter as he approached, his presence overwhelming. There was no mistaking the tension that charged between us, nor the bold sign of his arousal, impossible to ignore. My breath faltered. Curiosity warred with instinct, but I didn’t move. I couldn’t.

Drawn forward by a mix of fear and fascination, I reached out: tentative at first, fingers brushing the fur of his underside. The texture was coarse but warm, almost electrified. Then lower, I cupped the full weight of him in my palm, startled by the heat, the sheer heft of it. He let out a deep, throaty sound, not of warning, but approval. My touch, it seemed, was welcome.

Heart hammering, I let my hand trace upward, wrapping carefully around the thick base of him. The sensation was shocking: firm, hot, and alive with pulse. He tensed, his body responding as if every nerve was wired to mine. His gaze flared brighter, a silent command in molten gold. Embers danced from his tail, casting sparks into the dusk.

The air charged, like a storm about to break. He leaned closer, enveloping me in heat, his breath coming harder, more deliberate. A sound escaped him: half growl, half whine, low and full of yearning.

I'm lucky: there's an empty spot in my team~
