Scales and Stingers

	The sun was setting when Markus walked out the front door of his bakery, turning and easily locking the entrance behind him. Taking a minute to stare at his reflection, the scorpion looked over himself with yellow eyes. His carapace was reddish-orange, coating most of his face except his jaw and working down his neck, which was a nice peach tone. His clothes were simple everyday attire of khaki shorts and white shirt, though a bit baggy to deal with his red chitin patches on his shoulders, elbows and knees. The apron was left in the store unless it was being washed and his shoes were a simple white style. Markus’ tail was neatly coiled in on itself to keep from pricking others accidentally. Grinning, the scorpion turned and ran down the street for the bus, wind whistling through his brown, shoulder-length hair caught around two chitin ‘ears’.
	The bus was already loading as Markus skid around the corner. Sprinting, he made it slightly winded, fumbling with his pocket to grab his pass and slipping it through the reader. Taking his seat near the front, the scorpion let out a sigh as he leaned back. Today had been rough between the party to make for and the rowdy crowd. Being a modest town, he wasn’t usually overly packed but Markus was frustrated with some of the customers. At least now he was going home to eat and shower and see Thane. A smile scratched itself on his muzzle thinking of his boyfriend. The cobra was handsome, black hair falling to his mid back and his hood parting the locks wonderfully. The green eyes above a neutral fanged muzzle, all dusty brown in color. The green-gray spots and purple rings broke up the brown, as did the plated purple underbelly. Markus bit his cheek and rubbed a foot on the other as he thought about his boyfriend’s black nipples and how the purple went all the way down. His mind drew a picture of the snake’s thick, full bush crowning that ebony shaft, which laid over a plated looking set of balls with a trail of hair between the orbs. Shifting his legs some, the scorpion tried to ease his growing arousal. It didn’t help that he saw Thane’s rear showing off now, his wide hips leading to such a wonderful ass. Seemed he was frustrated in more ways than one.
	It took quite a while longer for the bus to move on down, picking up and dropping off passengers. In the mean time, Markus did what he could to not think of his boyfriend’s thick dick and plump rump. It worked, a little. He did have to ‘sneakily’ hide his arousal a bit, though his baggy shorts did well in hiding it. Departure and walking took another while, the sun now mostly hidden by the roundness of the planet. Everything was lovely shades of orange and red and gray from the shadows. The stairs up to the apartment were taken two at a time, the scorpion impatient to seeing his cobra. Key in lock, door opened and shut, relocked, Markus leaned on the door and sighed. Kicking off his shoes, his pants dropped right after. Stretching, he showed his floppy cock over his balls which had a tuft of hair between the orbs. The thick bush at the base a crown for his shaft.
	Markus tried to creep through the apartment, leaving his undesired garments behind as he peeked around the corner to the living room. Lo and behold, Thane sat on the couch, one hand holding a book up to his face and the other lazing on the cat in his lap. The insect knew that Dexter was purring in his sleep, having been like that many times. But right now, his attention was on the snake, illicit thoughts passing his mind and a hand trailing over his length. He shivered before gripping the wood doorframe to keep from touching himself. Well, he’d be getting off tonight somehow.
	“Markus.”
	Caught, the scorpion moved around the frame and entered the room. The reptile looked up from his book, exhaling loudly through his nose at his lack of modesty. With how long they’ve been together, Markus would think Thane would be use to his antics by now.
	“Hey Cobra.” The insect flopped onto the couch next to his boyfriend, Dexter lazily lifting his head and yawning.
	“Stressed?”
	“Like you wouldn’t believe! Had a ridiculous amount of doughnut goers this morning, had to try and bribe some to get something else when I ran out. Then got a party to prep for with very specific instructions that I messed up when another horde came in for gluten free rye bread. Ended up having to take a bit longer on the party order just to fix that before getting yelled at since the party was at a certain time. At least it was quiet at the end.” Markus let out a sigh as he wiggled his toes in the carpet.
	“Frustrating.”
	“So much! Likely going to blow a load later.” The scorpion turned to the snake and grinned. “Care to help with that?”
	Thane stared at the insect for a bit, blinking once. “Think about it.”
	WHOOOOO! That meant Thane would at least get nude for Markus. Already a pulse was felt through his dick from the idea. A finger from the reptile was held up though.
	“Dinner.”
	Ah, right. And shower later. With an exaggerated groan, he stood back up and offered a hand to the snake. Taking it, the insect helped his boyfriend stand up and held the hand as he led the way to the kitchen.
	“Sandwich good?”
	A non-committal hum was taken as a yes as the scorpion went over to the fridge. Opening it, he bent down at his waist, tail laying on his back as he wiggled his hips. A cheeky grin was on his face as his gaze ran over the items. He knew exactly what he was doing, and even though Thane had very little interest, he had hope it would be enticing a bit for the reptile. Reaching around, he grabbed a few condiments, ham and cheese before straightening up. Turning to face the snake, Markus was almost certain he saw a slight flush in the other’s cheeks. Or maybe it was all a trick as Thane easily took the items and spread them on the counter.
	The scorpion was up first, being the baker and all. Taking the bread, he easily sliced into it for four slices of bread, the perfect thickness. While he was cutting the cheese, the reptile was spreading their condiments on both sides of the bread. Slapping down the cheese, the meat followed soon after and placing both halves together made a great ham and cheese sandwich. Grinning, tail wagging a little, the insect took the two meals to the table while his boyfriend grabbed drinks.
	The meal was relatively quiet, Markus asking about Thane’s day and activities. Needless to say, the reptile was very untalkative. Not rudely, just didn’t like to talk. Sometimes the scorpion wondered why they were together, reflecting a bit on their relationship. He always shrugged it off, content with his decisions to be with the snake. All too soon, dinner was done and they went about cleaning the kitchen up some. Though at a point, Thane pointed out the door towards the back of the apartment. Easy message to shower, so the insect wandered that way, slipping off his shirt as he went and casually tossing it aside. He shivered in the cooler air, his red-orange nipples perking up. Half tempted to rub over them, he shook himself from his lustfilled desires and stepped into the bathroom.
	It was the average fair, and having been there so long, Markus glanced past most of it as he went for the shower. He turned on the water to a warm setting, waiting out the little time it took to heat before stepping within. Routine kicked in, shampoo for his hair and his bush tonight and special soap for his carapace and chitin. Once he got to his cock, though, he took some extra time to clean it and feel it stiffen in his grasp. The scorpion was half tempted to just rub one out but he knew he’d be better rewarded if he waited so he proceeded to wash himself. Ever the needy insect, he did grope his own rump and considered maybe prepping for bottoming. He decided against it, preferring when Thane said yes so he would know if it was happening or not.
	Water off, towel grabbed, Markus made sure to dry himself as thoroughly as possible. Didn’t want any water on the bed. Or seed, he pondered, going to grab a few towels from where he put the linens. Moving into the bedroom doorway, the insect nearly dropped the towels he’d grabbed, though his jaw did fall open. Sitting on the bed was the snake, legs spread open. One hand was lightly playing with a black nipple while the other was languidly stroking the shaft between those legs. The reptile was so much more beautiful than he had imagined earlier. Thane stopped with one hand to beckon Markus to come join him. Internally, the scorpion was screaming for joy that he was going to have sex tonight!
	The insect easily moved into the room, dropping the linens on the bed as he leaned down and kissed Thane. It was both a passionate and loving one, desire laced in it but held back enough to show he was trying to force it. When one of the reptile’s fingers started to touch his shaft, it was easy to shudder and grow harder from it until he was fully erect. When they pulled apart, saliva was snaking between them before it flopped down, both breathing hard. The snake slowly slid himself back up the bed, spreading himself out for the scorpion to feast his eyes on his lover. Markus did take a moment to appreciate the body before him before he slowly crawled his way up his boyfriend’s body, When he was face to face with Thane, he lowered his body down, chest to chest, dick and balls laying on dick and balls. He’d make sure this was as gay as he could make it.
	Snout to snout, the insect started to grind, gyrating his hips to run his length along the other. The reptile hissed lowly, a cute sound of desire that Markus was able to drag up from the other. It was rare for Thane to lower his defenses to enjoy things like this but he seemed a little needy. Evidenced by the arms already around his shoulders and pre leaking between the both of them. It made frotting a little easier as they made out again. As they pulled apart again, the scorpion said, “I love you Thane.”
	A noncommittal hum again. There was the snake’s cold shoulder again. Oh well, the insect wasn’t surprised by the lack of response. “Want to suck each other’s dicks?”
	It took some thinking form the reptile before he nodded. Score. Markus eagerly turned himself around, his snout almost touching the throbbing wet head of his boyfriend’s cock. Grabbing the base and enjoying the forest his hand rested upon, he took the tip in his mouth and suckled on it. He was about to apply tongue when his eyes went wide, popping off the shaft with a gasp and shudder. Thane had just taken his entire length into his maw and closed down on it, sucking. God damn snakes and their ability to not gag on much. The scorpion could remember the first time getting head from the reptile, disbelieving in the aforementioned virgin muzzle taking an entire dick. The insect was brought back to the present as said lover started to slip his lips up and down the length. Shivering, Markus eyed the one-eyed snake before opening his own muzzle and taking half of it in a go. He was still cautious, even as he took his boyfriend to the root. His tongue lapped around the sides as he slid back up.
	The two went at it, Markus applying all the things he could think of with his muzzle and tongue to get more from the snake. His hands were busy too, jerking the base when he was at the top and the other rolling the plated sack around. The reptile needed a little extra effort to enjoy this sort of thing. Meanwhile, Thane practically did bare minimal, sucking and sliding up and down. Sometimes he’d twist his head but for the most part, it seemed like he was just a warm, wet hole to fuck. At least, that’s what the scorpion assumed. He should talk to Thane about his oral skills. Knowing what that tongue was like, he did sort of want a little more from him. Which he did do at times, mostly when he was focusing on just Markus’s need. With a slurp, the snake pulled off of the insect’s length, making him groan a little. Then the reptile asked, “Breed?”
	The scorpion gagged on the cock in his mouth, pulling off with a pop and gasp, staring between their bodies at his boyfriend. Holy fuck, did Thane just ask for sex?! This had to be one of his needier days if he was doing that! Markus bit his lip as his gaze slipped back to the dick. He hadn’t prepped but to hell with that! He rolled off the reptile and sat up, rummaging in a drawer for a few moments before grabbing out the bottle of lube. It was mostly full, thankfully, as the insect popped the cap and poured some on his hand. The bottle was placed down next to Thane as the scorpion moved back into position, along his belly sideways. He reached out and grabbed the pulsing cock, cool gel meeting hot flesh. A hiss from the snake gave Markus a shiver as he stroked the length, flushing hotter at what was to come. Taking a moment, he moved and poured lube in his other hand too, kneeling to jerk off his boyfriend while his free hand moved underneath his balls to lightly tease at his hidden entrance. He poked and prodded his tail hole, slipping the tip of a finger in before he placed two at the hole. With a hiss, the scorpion sunk them in deep, face hinting at displeasure at the forceful entry but he had no time to waste! He was getting dick tonight, a true rarity! Sure he had dildos but his boyfriend’s cock? Rare.
	With his fingers in, he spread and touched parts of himself with the grease to help ease the impending passage, his other hand still stroking the gel onto the reptile. Biting his cheek, the insect brought both hands away from their activities to straddle Thane’s middle. Both were panting, but the snake held a soft grin. He knew how much Markus cherished these moments. And he did that, with all of his heart. Beyond just the sexual satisfaction for him, being able to have his lover be willing to do this despite not enjoying it like most was a true gift. But he’d dwell on that later, sliding his rump back to sandwich the shaft between his cheeks and slowly rising up it. When the head slipped along his hole, he stopped and shuddered, pre leaking and dripping onto the forest on the snake’s belly. Reaching back, the insect grabbed the arousal and held it firmly as he pushed against his entrance until, with a squench, it popped in.
	A gasp came from Markus as Thane let out a small moan. The penetration was rough, a fact well known to the scorpion as he grit his teeth and started to lower himself. At about the halfway point, he stopped, the discomfort too much as he moved his hands to rest on the reptile’s chest. Eyes stared at one another, hot breath passing between them as a question burned in the snake’s eyes. The insect just grinned and nodded some, showing he’d be ok as he sunk a little more into his underprepared ass. He didn’t stop on his third pass, fighting for the inches he needed until his balls were cradled in his boyfriend’s pubes, ass clenching on an entire dick. His tail had uncurled at some point, now laying dismally between their legs.
	Thane reached up to grip Markus’s arm while the other he held out. A small chuckle came from the scorpion as he willed his tail to curl again, this time around his body so the snake could hold it. A unique obsession but the insect was more than willing to comply with the reptile if he was able to do this. Markus leaned back up, hissing in his own pleasure at being stretched out, lightly squeezing the length buried in his tail end. He did reach back to fondle the plated sake of Thane as he adjusted, amusement dancing on his muzzle at seeing his boyfriend squirm a little. Sure, he used toys but nothing beat having a living creature under you.
	Not long after, the scorpion began his assault. He slowly rose from the base to the tip, biting his tongue to keep from whining at the empty feeling before sliding his lover back into his ass. It was a slow start, something to ease his passage. Even though he wanted to savor this, Markus wasn’t able to hold himself back as on the next rise, he dropped himself fast onto the snake’s dick. Balls plopping on the bush, he arched his back and moaned, registering a cute hiss from Thane before he pushed himself back up to the tip and repeated the process. Such a grand pleasure, his eyes slipping shut before opening to watch Thane lightly stroking his tail. It was cute, the huffing insect thought, as he always did.
	It was time for more now though, as Markus picked up his pace, slipping up and down on the reptile’s dick. Grunts and groans came from the scorpion and he even heard his boyfriend issue low moans of his own. He brought his hand up to stroke over his chest and down his stomach, brushing through the pubes and grabbing his own length. He couldn’t deny himself any more as he tugged in time to his bounces, inciting a fire in his gut. Grinding, he shifted himself to once more hold himself up Thane’s chest with one hand, the other shifting upon his shaft. He shoved himself back and forth his boyfriend’s length, his orbs dragging along on the trail and belly as he did so. Leaning forward a bit more, he kissed his lover, slipping his tongue into the snake’s panting maw.
	Their tongues did a light dance together, wet and sloppy. Markus hoped it conveyed both his lust and love to the snake. He felt his tail be let go, as it lightly flopped back onto the bed as the reptile’s hands grabbed his rump. About to ponder why, the scorpion gasped into the muzzle he was connected to as Thane thrusted into his rear, balls smacking lightly. Shivering, the insect broke their kiss to stare into the lidded eyes of his boyfriend. His body moved on its own accord, sawing back and forth into the soft pumping of his lover’s hips. Markus could feel his balls rising, the fire consuming but he held back to let his partner go first. He even slowed his hand to concentrate on pleasing Thane, milking the best he could.
	The scorpion was rewarded as the snake did one last thrust before hilting, gasping and hissing as the insect felt the cock pulsing in his rump. At last he felt the hot liquid splashing into his rear, soaking and making him groan. His eyes fluttered as he redoubled his own stroking, the feeling of being filled with seed too much for him. With a soft cry, Markus hit his peak, cum spurting out in long, pearly ropes onto his boyfriend’s chest, balls bouncing with every throb. It was a bit of a blur after that, the two panting and enjoying the afterglow.
	Arms wrapped around his back as he was pulled downward. The scorpion opened his shut eyes from orgasm to see Thane’s weary face in front of him. Once more they kissed, this time much more gently while the insect wound his arms about the reptile. A hugging kiss sort of thing as they just panted and nosed and licked and kissed. Enjoying each other, this rare moment of true intimacy. Markus grinned lightly at the snake.
	“I love you Thane.”
	“You too.”
	Sure, they still had to clean later. But right now, it was just a snake and his scorpion.
