Chapter 8: When You’re Away

Knuckles grumbled frustrated as he lay in bed. Shadow had been out surveying Angel Island for the past two weeks and wasn't due back for another 4 days. The red echidna was becoming restless as he longed for his partner's touch. Ever since they became a couple, they had limited their self pleasure to a minimum. Rather than simply rubbing one out when the other wasn't around, they preferred to save up for when they could be together making their orgasms much more intense. However, two weeks was now too long in between sessions and Knuckles couldn't hold back anymore. 

"Shit," he mumbled, sitting up and looking down at his groin. "I can't take it anymore." Pulling off his gloves he threw them across the room. With his left hand he reached down to his slit and began rubbing. Almost immediately his breathing increased and his flared echidna dick poked out from the fur covered opening. Grabbing the growing shaft with his right hand and desperately pumping it, he also fingered the tight edge of the slit with his left. Closing his eyes he thought of Shadow. He imagined that the black hedgehog's fingers were his own, violating his own forbidden zones. 

"Mmmm, yeah, Shadow." He stroked faster and faster while pushing two fingers deep into his slit. Despite the pleasure he was feeling, Knuckles could tell it wasn't quite enough. Even with adding a third finger into his slit's edge it didn't quite feel the same as with Shadow. There was something different about being touched by his lover, that he just couldn't replicate. At least not with his fingers alone. He pulled out of his slit and released his cock. Again frustrated he laid back on the bed. His now throbbing erection stood up. Leaking a few drops of precum down the length. 

"Dammit." He thought, clenching his teeth. "He's spoiled me. I can barely get going without wanting him to do it for me." He looked to his nightstand and squinted his eyes. "Unless I just need a little something extra." He sat up and opened the top drawer. Inside a thick red dildo rolled from the back to the front. Shadow didn't know, but shortly after their first time, Knuckles ordered it for just such an occasion. He hadn’t yet used it though, it was just waiting in his nightstand with a bottle of lube for the right moment. 

He reached into the drawer with both hands and pulled out the toy and lube. Setting the bottle on top of the nightstand, he closed the drawer and inspected the toy. It was about the same size as Shadow, but was much smoother on the shaft. It's tip tapered off to a point for easy insertion. He rubbed it a little, feeling the firmness of it. It wasn’t completely rigid though, there was a little bit of squish to it as well. 

With his left hand he squeezed out some lube, and rubbed it onto the toy. He ran his hand up and down on it as if masturbating it. Knuckles blushed as his own dick twitched, leaking out streams of precum. 
"That should be enough," he thought. Laying back and slathering the remaining lube on his hand to his tailhole. Holding the base of the toy, he positioned the tip at his entrance. Closing his eyes he took a deep breath and pushed it in. He winced as the 8 inch dildo penetrated all the way into his tailhole. Though the length was identical to Shadow's, it had still been some time since he took anything inside of himself. 

Once it was fully inserted, Knuckles readjusted his body so that he was laying on his side. With his free hand, he grabbed his cock and gently squeezed its tip. 
"Fuck yeah!" He moaned. "That's the spot." 

Getting a firm grip on the base of the toy. He began pumping it in and out while rubbing the tip of his flared echidna cock. He ran his fingers back and forth across the eight nubs around the bottom of his glans. The sensation of playing with those nubs shot spikes of pleasure through his lower body. As his tailhole loosened up, he began pumping the toy faster and harder. 
"Ah. Ah. Yeah," Knuckles grunted. "Fuck me… Shadow. Give me all you got!"

Releasing his dick, he rolled over onto his back and lifted his knees up to his chest. Then grabbing the toy with both hands, he forcefully pumped it in and out even faster than before. The red echidna was desperately fucking his tailhole with the dildo, and he loved every second of it. It might not be as warm as the real thing, but he couldn’t help but imagine his lover was the one inside of him. In and out it went. The sloppy sounds of his gaping, lubed up hole echoed throughout the room. His breathing was heavy and equally as loud. He just couldn't stop. 

"Breed me Shadow! Give me your whole cock! I need it all!" Knuckles was completely lost in his own fantasy. In his mind he wasn't alone anymore, and his lover was giving him everything he needed. The feeling of the toy stretching his tailhole was incredible. He loved how it rubbed perfectly against his prostate with each thrust inside. 

Knuckles' cock was now leaking loads of precum onto his chest and he was finally getting close to climax. As much as he was enjoying himself, he was also more than ready for release. In the last few seconds he sped up one more time. Going as fast as he could and building up heat from the friction. Knuckles forced the dildo as deep as he could, pleasuring every part of his tailhole. He clenched tightly around the toy, then with both hands he grabbed his cock just as he began to cum. 

"Fuck yeah!" He grunted, and he shot out a monstrous load of cum. The pleasure from his anal orgasm was overwhelming. His whole body tensed up as he shot stream after endless stream across his chest, neck, and face. Some of it even managed to land in his open mouth. He was in a state of pure ecstasy. His mind had gone blank. He could only lay on the bed as his balls were drained of every last drop of his cum. 

After a very long few seconds and at least 18 shots of his hot liquid, Knuckles' limbs finally went limp, and he let his tailhole relax. Slowly the toy worked itself out and flopped onto the bed. Knuckles was breathing heavily as his mind slowly came back online. Glancing down at his chest he noticed just how soaked he was. Running his fingers through the sticky liquid, he scooped some up and brought his hand to his face. Without hesitating he slowly licked the cum from his fingers, enjoying his own taste. When he finished, his arm fell to one side and he looked over to the clock on the wall. It was 10 PM. Knuckles sighed and closed his eyes.

"I still miss him," he said softly. "I hope he'll be able to get off at some point too." With that final thought he drifted off to sleep, letting thoughts of his lover fill his dreams.

… …

Shadow was reclining against the side of a tree, enjoying the warmth of his campfire. It was just past 10 and as he stared into the glowing red embers, he couldn't help but think of Knuckles. 
"Man, I hate to have left him alone for so long. He better not be trying to hold out until I get back," Shadow thought. He glanced down at his groin to see that his dick was peaking through his thick pubic fur ever so slightly. "I guess it's been a few days since my last release. I should probably take care of this before bed." 

Pulling off his right glove with his teeth, he tossed it beside himself. Reaching down to his slit, he pushed his growing member aside and plunged two fingers into himself. 
"Ah yeah, that's the spot," Shadow muttered. The black hedgehog gently thrust his fingers in and out of his slit getting them wet with his bodily fluids. The musky scent of his cock filled the air as it became fully erect. A quiet sloshing sound grew louder with each passing minute, as Shadow's slit produced more of his natural lubrication with every thrust in and out. 

Biting off his other glove, he tossed it aside as well and grabbed the pulsing length of his cock. A crackle of the fire and the wet sounds of his body echoed through the trees. Fingering and stroking himself, he let his mind wander and think about Knuckles. He imagined the red echidna as the one fingering his slit. He longed to feel the bony knuckles of the echidna's wrist grinding against his cock. He also thought of his partner's flared 7 inches, and how good it felt to have it inside of himself. 

Pulling his fingers out of his slit, Shadow slid down a little in order to expose his tailhole. With fingers well lubricated, he pushed them both inside at once. 
"Oh hell yeah Red! Fuck me with that echidna cock!" He exclaimed, not holding back his voice. Not that it seemed there was anyone around to hear him.

Unlike Knuckles, Shadow didn't need much more than that to build up to climax. He was an expert at self pleasure, and knew exactly how to work his fingers to achieve a fast orgasm. Flicking his fingers back and forth against his prostate, he paired the internal sensation with perfectly timed strokes and squeezes of his cock. 

Feeling the rising pleasure, Shadow pushed himself up to his knees and pointed himself toward the fire. With one last flick inside his tailhole he tensed up and released his cum into the flames. His toes curled tight inside of his shoes as he shot out 8 long streams. 

As he finished, he pulled his fingers out and fell back against the tree once more. The crackling fire glowed against his form and he smiled letting his member slowly disappear back beneath his fur. "Hope you had a good night yourself, Red," Shadow mumbled. "'Cuz I'm gonna plow you into next week when I get back." Fully satisfied he closed his eyes and let the sound of the slowly dying fire carry him off to sleep.

Little did he know however, he had a captive set of eyes looking on from the darkness. Psychically cloaked, Silver had seen and heard everything. Having found Shadow wandering around at night the grey hedgehog followed him the whole evening to be sure he was safe. He had thought of approaching his campsite for the evening,  but after witnessing his self pleasuring session and the vocal remarks about Knuckles, he decided to let him be. Silver did not want to get on Shadow's bad side, so he just stayed hidden and watched. Despite not really being into other guys, he couldn't help but be a little turned on watching the black hedgehog pleasure himself. As much as he didn't want to admit it, the thought of Shadow and Knuckles having sex wasn't new to him. In fact he had been expecting it for quite some time.
"So, Shadow and Knuckles are a thing now, huh. Seems the future is right on track as it should be." Silver smiled and turned around heading back through the trees. I should check to see if the others have finally hooked up as well. Just to be safe."
