Morning Reflections

Evening Resolutions

Author's Note: Here is part three of Morning Reflections...I'm actually enjoying this! I thought it was kinda wierd at first, and I suppose it is, but it doesn't feel wierd anymore. Thank you for the nice reviews, and as promised, here is part three. Sorry it took so long to get it up, but I was having major computer problems. Please don't flame me, that's a waste of my time and yours, since I will delete all flames I recieve. Reviews make me happy. ^^ Now...on with the story.

When Brave Heart woke up, it was after eight o'clock at night. At first, he wasn't sure how he had ended up on the couch, but his throbbing ankle and an armful of Proud Heart Cat reminded him. Ah yes...He blushed as he remembered her intimate caresses, and how uninhibited he had been after his fears had been put to rest. What a wonderful girl she was...and not just because of what had happened. He knew he loved her for a reason. Yes, she was proud, and she was a bit of a "neat freak", but she was also warm and kind. He couldn't think of anyone else who would answer his questions as patiently and as matter-of-factly as she had...of course, he didn't want to think of it, because he wasn't romantically interested in any of the other females of the Care Bear Family. For some reason, though, he had been able to tell Proud Heart. With anyone else, he most likely would have clammed up until they had just left.

With Proud Heart, it was different. It had been hard, but he had been able to tell her about his little problem. Now that he thought back, it was the need for answers that had finally made him tell her. He had expected her to be disgusted, but she had comforted him, and told him it was all right. The wonderful things he had discovered! And he had a feeling that was only the beginning. What she had done earlier had blown his mind, but now he had to wonder...what else was there? Could they actually...

But he wasn't sure if he was ready for that yet. He had read about what went where, but he had never seen any sort of illustrations or demonstrations. He hadn't even seen animals mate at the zoo! Actually, he didn't like going to the zoo, and seeing "fellow creatures" in cages. So how would it be possible with Proud Heart? Supposing she had to show HIM what to do? How embarrassing...Would she even want to fully join with him? Would she become pregnant? Would he be done before she had even begun to enjoy it? Yes, he was worried...but he was curious too. What would it be like? Had she ever had sex before? If so, how would that change his views of her, if at all?

Brave Heart sighed. It didn't matter. He had her in his arms, and that was good enough for him tonight. She was asleep too, her head resting on his chest as she silently breathed in and out. His beautiful Proud Heart. His! She wanted HIM. It still seemed hard to believe. He smiled down at her, admiring the gentle points of her ears, and he absently traced the point of her right ear with his finger. The ear flicked twice, and she opened her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." he told her, still tracing her ear, which flicked a few more times.

"Tickles..." she mumbled, snuggling in closer.

Brave Heart felt himself stirring again, but he ignored it. That would make three in one day, something that to him seemed almost impossible. Since he was beneath the blanket and half curled up, Proud Heart didn't notice.

"Did you sleep well?" she asked.

"Yes...but I think you had something to do with that." he smirked a bit, and she gave him a playful swat. Laughing, he held her close.

She giggled a bit, and allowed him to hold her. "How's your ankle?"

He moved it a bit, and sucked his breath in through his teeth. "Still sore."

She made a noise of sympathy, and kissed his cheek. "That's too bad..."

Well maybe, he thought, but look what it got him. He rested his cheek on top of her head, marvelling at the softness of her fur. It was a pity he had never been able to experience it before, but he made up for it now, gently smoothing the fur on the back of her head with his paw. He smiled as she began to purr, and he began to purr in tandem with her, his purr much deeper and richer than hers. Proud Heart tilted her head back and kissed him, trailing little kisses up his jaw to his lips. He felt himself stiffen and stand up like a flagpole, but he didn't want to spoil the moment by mentioning it. He loved to kiss her.

They had been sitting in that loving embrace for about five minutes, the kiss getting more and more intense, when Proud Heart broke the kiss and seemed a bit out of breath. "Brave Heart..."

"Yeah?" he asked, wondering why she had stopped.

"Have you ever given any thought to...to making love?" she asked, slightly breathless, and his eyes widened a bit.

"Uh...some..." he replied, blushing.

"With who?" she asked.

He gulped, and looked away. How should he answer that? He had only wanted her, but if he said that, would she think he was just telling her what she wanted to hear? He looked back at her, and saw that her pupils were wide, and her eyes half-lidded with passion. He couldn't believe it...he had made her feel this way! He felt a surge of pride, and he smiled. "Well...with...with you. But I never said anything because..."

"You were afraid." she finished for him, and he didn't confirm or deny it. He simply kissed her. She stopped him again, and said, "Why don't you let me help you to your room?"

"Huh? Why?" he asked.

"Your ankle..." she answered him. That was only part of the reason. She didn't want him to hurt his ankle any worse if things got out of hand, and she wanted to be in a more comfortable setting. He nodded, and let her help him up, then he realized...he was still as hard as a baseball bat! He tried to quickly cover himself, but she had already seen. She merely smiled knowingly, and helped him limp to his bedroom, the journey made all the more difficult by his condition.

Brave Heart blushed crimson the entire way, and when she helped him sit on the edge of his bed, he wouldn't meet her eyes. "Sorry..." he mumbled.

She smiled, and turned his head towards her. "Brave Heart...don't apologize. Remember, I've seen it before."

"Well, yeah..." he nodded, still covering himself. He was nervous, she realized. He was obviously still a virgin...but then again, so was she. She put her arm around his shoulders, and kissed his cheek until he turned towards her again and let her kiss him properly. The fact that they were in his bedroom wasn't lost on him, and he knew why she had brought him here. He had allowed it, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid. He knew where all the books said he had to put his penis, but he didn't really KNOW the mechanics of it. But not being able to put it anywhere was making him very uncomfortable.

Sensing his fear, she sat back and said, "We don't have to do this, you know..."

"I know..." he said...and he kissed her again! They continued to kiss and hold each other, stroking each others' backs, nuzzling each others' necks. Somehow they ended up reclining on the bed, but it didn't go any further than that. Proud Heart soon realized why. He didn't know how!

The cat gently stroked his muzzle and kissed the side of it, his whiskers tickling her, and she whispered in his ear, "Would you like to look at me?"

He was puzzled. "But I am looking at you..."

She smiled, and shook her head. "No, I mean...well...down there."

Brave Heart's heartbeat tripled in speed, and he found himself suddenly dry-mouthed. He opened his mouth to say yes, but all that came out was a little, adolescent-sounding squeak.

"You don't have to..." she told him, but he shook his head. He wanted to. He just didn't know what he'd find. He sat up, and she continued to lay back; she opened her legs just a bit to enable him to explore her body.

And explore he did. He ran his paw down the hill of her belly, stroking the heart-in-star symbol; the fur of her symbol seemed a bit warmer than the rest of her. He stroked her tummy for a moment, then continued his way down. His paw encountered the juncture between her legs; he had yet to see what was down there, but what he felt was what seemed like a closed pair of lips, covered in soft, downy fur. She opened her legs wider at his touch, and he was a bit surprised to find that beneath those lips was a warm, slightly damp place. His curiosity got the better of him, and he scooted down on the bed to look. At first he raised an eyebrow, and he wasn't sure what he thought of the sight before him. Beneath those outer lips was a pair of inner lips, and at the top of that, a little nub of some sort. He touched it, and he noticed that her reaction was similar to his had been when she was touching his penis. He rubbed his thumb experimentally over it to guage her reactions, and she arched her back and gasped quietly, obviously trying her best not to moan. He allowed himself a smile, but he didn't see how that nub would make the sex act any easier. He got a bit closer, and after some further touching and gentle poking he came across an opening. This must be it...it was this or nothing. He inserted a finger, and she gave a little yelp of pain. He quickly stopped what he was doing.

"What?" he asked, sounding a bit panicky, "What's the matter?" He was back at her side before you could blink. He was obviously terrified that he had inadvertantly harmed her, but she shook her head and kissed him.

"No, it's okay...It's just because I've never...Well, I'm a virgin." she said, as if that explained everything. At his confused look, she said, "Virgins are people who have never had sex, Brave Heart...and for a girl, the first time is painful."

Brave Heart looked disappointed. "But I don't WANT to hurt you.."

Proud Heart put her arms around him and held him gently. "I heard it only hurts for a moment, then it gets much better...I know you don't want to hurt me...but if I wasn't prepared to let you inside me, I wouldn't have let things get this far."

Inside her?! Brave Heart gulped again. Wow...

"It's not too late to stop..." she told him, and indeed he wasn't hard anymore...but he pressed his lips against her neck, and gently sucked and licked the flesh he found there. He didn't want to disappoint her...and he wanted to know what all the fuss was about. If it was anything like the feelings he had gotten when she had rubbed him to the point of bliss, he wanted to try it. Besides, he wanted to give her the same pleasure she had given him. He reached down between her legs, and managed to find that nub again. Very, very gently, he began to rub it. She arched her back again, but he was moving up and down, up and down...she preferred it a different way. She gently put her paw over his, and corrected the movements so that he was rubbing gently in a circle on her tender bud. He did as she had shown him, and he was very gratified with the results. He kissed her as before, but he was paying more attention to his paw. He experimented with different speeds, moving faster now, then slower. She was tossing her head on the pillow, purring, making little whimpering noises and moving her hips a bit.

"Just like that..." she told him quietly, kissing him, and allowing him to learn how to bring her to completion. He happily obliged her; though he had found her female place a little strange at first, he was learning to like it. He enjoyed the way he could make her writhe and moan if he touched her a certain way, and he was becoming increasingly horny as he continued to pleasure her. His penis was out of its sheath again, and it lay against her leg; he began to rotate his hips, rubbing himself against the side of her leg in his desperation to be stimulated. Proud Heart was thrown into a new height of arousal when he did this, knowing how much he wanted her. She didn't want to finish like this, though, and she made him stop. "Brave Heart...I want to do something for YOU now..." she told him, and she sat up and scooted downwards. He looked confused, and she looked up at him. "Now, don't be shocked by this...if what I heard is true, you'll like this a lot..."

"But what..."

He was cut off as she lowered her head and licked the crown of his penis. "Unh!" It was like a jolt of electricity! She contemplated the taste of him. Sort of salty, but in a mild sort of way. She licked him a few times, getting accustomed to the taste of him, then took him into her mouth entirely. It was better than he had ever imagined it would be! It took everything he had not to thrust into her mouth and choke her. He found it especially pleasureable when she licked up the underside of his member and flicked the tip of her tongue just beneath the head. Where had she learned how to do that? Who cared! She kept this up for a minute or two, listening to his moans of pleasure as he inarticulately praised her, but she was getting too antsy to keep it up for long. She wanted him. She stopped sucking his penis and kissed him, and he was surprised to taste himself on her. He reflected that it wasn't a bad taste, just unexpected.

Proud Heart put her mouth near his ear again, and said, "Will you make love to me, Brave Heart?"

Without a word, he gently laid her down and kissed her, positioning himself over her; his penis bobbed as he got the angle right, his movements were awkward because of his ankle. He looked up at her, as if he needed further permission, and she nodded. He hoped he wouldn't hurt her too much...he didn't want to hurt her at all, but if it was only this one time...He had to use his paw to find her opening again, since he didn't know how to find it with the tip just by moving his hips, and he gently pushed himself inside her. She hissed like a cat at the vet's office, wrapping her legs around him to keep him from pulling back in a panic, which he did try to do. She kissed him to take her own mind off the sharp, searing pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." he told her, kissing her back and genuinely remorseful, even though he knew it wasn't his fault.

"It's okay..." she told him, her voice a bit strained, "Just hold still...I'll be all right in a minute."

And so, Brave Heart Lion held VERY still. She was so warm, so tight, it was very hard indeed to keep still as she had requested, but somehow he managed it. Proud Heart lay there beneath him, wondering if he had made her bleed, and wondering how he had managed to get it in there in the first place; the size of him had intimidated her a bit, but she had wanted him inside her nevertheless. But the pain was lessening. Little by little she stretched to welcome him in, and little by little she ceased to hurt at all. She nodded to him, and he cautiously moved his hips, pulling out all the way, and frowning as he realized he had made a mistake. He found his way in again, and pushed in to the base. She sighed, closing her eyes as she began to feel some pleasure again. He moved back, this time not quite as far, then moved forward again. Out and in. Out and in. Slowly at first, then as he found a rhythm, faster and faster. He couldn't believe it! He had thought he didn't know what to do, and here he was, doing it. And very well, too, if Proud Heart's moans were anything to go by.

It was wonderful! The contrast of warmth and coolness on his penis as he continued to thrust in and out, the way she wrapped her legs around him and pressed with her heels to urge him on, the way she clasped him to her with her arms and kissed him. He could feel her heartbeat, and she could feel his. Oh, how he loved her! He slowed down to savor it, knowing he wouldn't last long if he continued at this speed, and she mewled in disappointment and bucked her hips against him. He kissed her, and said, "I need to slow down for a minute..."

Proud Heart nodded, understanding, and pressed her mouth urgently against his. Slowly, tenderly, Brave Heart moved in and out of his love, leaning on his elbows and stroking her head with his palm as he kissed her. He thanked the powers that be for allowing him to be here with her tonight.

The cat was getting impatient, and Brave Heart moved a little faster. Remembering that sensitive bud that had brought her so much pleasure, he maneuvered his tail between them and used it to caress her to new heights of pleasure. She growled low in her throat as a small climax gripped her, and he "oohed" once as she tightened around him. But they weren't done yet. She could feel an even bigger climax building, not far off, and he wasn't quite there yet. Proud Heart moved her own tail sinuously, caressing his balls, and causing him to jerk with surprise and delight. He had never imagined such utter sweetness! He was moaning louder now, thrusting deeper and with more energy than before. He moved closer on his knees, and pressed in all the way, his balls pressing against her so that her caressing tail had to double back on itself. Brave Heart rubbed her frantically with his tail, needing to bring her to ecstasy before he lost control of himself.

Proud Heart felt the pressure building, building...she reached down with her paws and clutched at his buttocks, pushing him inside, and crying out. "Oh, Brave Heart!" she gasped, "Yes, yes, yeeesssss..." White stars exploded on the backs of her closed eyes as she came, not once, not twice, but three times in succession!

The constant squeezing and contracting of her femalehood around his member, coupled with her moans and cries of rapture, were too much for Brave Heart to handle. He raised his voice in an inarticulate roar, bucking his hips wildly as he gushed forth within her. "Ohhhhhh..." he sighed as his penis twitched feebly, softening. "Ohh..."

Proud Heart had her eyes clenched shut, her face a mask of what seemed to be agony. Tears trickled down her cheeks and wet the pillow, and Brave Heart gently kissed them away.

"I didn't hurt you, did I?" he asked anxiously, still buried within her. She shook her head and smiled, kissing him as he rolled off of her and pulled her close.

"It just...felt so good..." she whispered, nuzzling against his chest and sighing. "I love you so much, Brave Heart...I'm so sorry I ever..."

Brave Heart "shhhhed" her. "It doesn't matter...we're here, together. That's all that matters to me now."

Proud Heart closed her eyes. "Me too..."

And so they slept.

The End (for real this time)
