Jake could not help but smile as he walked through the door after a long day of work to see his cat stretched out on one of his beds with a book in hand. When Jonah heard him, ears turning in his direction, he perked up and went over to greet Jake.

Jake put out a hand and carded his fingers through Jonah’s hair gently a few times before he moved forward in the apartment to put his stuff down.

This greeting had become their ritual every evening for the past six months. Jake had found him curled up in an alleyway next to a vent, trying to stay warm in the dead of winter behind the bakery Jake frequented after work. He could not let the poor creature freeze out there, so he scooped him up and brought him home.

He didn’t know what to expect then. He had never taken in a stray before, but this cat was only about 4 feet tall and quite slight so Jake wasn’t worried for his physical safety.

After the cat woke up, he dashed into one of the closets, and that’s where he stayed. Jake would leave food out for him that the cat only ate after Jake had left. Instead he talked to him from the other side of the closet, telling him stories about himself, in hopes that it would help the little thing not feel so frightened. Even though the cat felt the need to hide, he never ran away. Jake had kept expecting to come back to the apartment and find no trace of the cat. Instead, Jake would find his apartment more clean than it had been when he had left for work that morning.

A week later, Jake was talking to the cat through the closet door about his childhood, and his mother’s habit of singing a lullaby to him whenever he got injured. He started to sing that lullaby and halfway through the door slowly opened by just a few inches. Jake extended the song and kept singing until the cat had opened the door halfway and slid out to join him on the floor. Jonah never hid from him again.

In another few days, Jake tried petting the cat. He hadn’t done it before, but he had heard that was something owners and pets did. It was a little awkward at first and Jonah was surprised initially, but after the first few minutes it felt completely natural and relaxing. The next day, his cat greeted him at the door for the first time, asking for pets and every day after that.

This evening, Jake could hardly walk further into the apartment because his cat was all over him, rubbing up against him and insisting he sit down on the floor so Jonah could crawl into his lap. He rocked him back and forth and nestled his head against his cat’s. Jonah turned and rubbed his back against Jake’s chest making it clear he wanted even more affection, which Jake was happy to provide. He ran his hands up and down Jonah’s sides gently massaging him as he went. Then he cupped Jonah’s face and messaged the back of his neck. Jonah purred gently and nestled his head into Jake’s chest then rubbed his side against him.

Perhaps he was even more affectionate than usual because of his brand new red collar. He wanted to show Jake just how much he was liking it. Some would say this was spoiling- but Jonah had earned it. He has been so good from the start and has made Jake’s life better in hundreds of unexpected ways. Why not show a little gratitude with a silk collar for his tender neck. It was common for cats to wear collars- even strays, and the soft red line looked so charming on Jonah. It fit so well Jake could easily believe he was wearing it when he found him. So he held Jonah in his arms and hugged him as hard as he could to say he was there and wasn’t leaving because he was so glad Jonah was his. It was in moments like these, when Jake could feel Jonah’s arms not wrapping fully around his waist, and the feeling of him so light on his legs and so narrow between his shoulders that Jake appreciated just how small his cat was. It was a vulnerability Jake could not reciprocate but he was greatful for it. This little creature put his faith in him.

Their cuddling session extended for as long as Jake’s knees and back could take, but eventually he had to ask Jonah to get off of his lap.

“I know, I should have stretched more when I was your age.

It’s okay. I didn’t expect it to last all evening. But can you pet me more later too?”

“Of course. But not on the floor next time, alright.”

Yeah sure. It’s too bad there is more room on the floor than on the couch but the couch isn’t as comfortable. I prefer more cuddles though obviously. And I want you to be comfortable too by the way!”

Jake knew what the perfect solution would be, but suggesting his bed felt too well- suggestive.

“I know don’t worry. I’m glad you’ll bare the couch for the sake of my knees.” Jake laughed.

“I value you and your knees.” Jonah said before yawning and stretching, ears tucking forward.

Jake smiled. His cat was such a cat. He went to his bedroom to change out of his work clothing. When he came back out, he saw his little cat settle into the couch on top of his electric blanket. It made Jake happy to think about how cozy and warm he would be. He tried to create a welcoming space for him where he could be happy. A space Jonah would want to return to day after day. He wouldn’t need to wonder what else could be out there. That was his hope.

Pulling out a book, Jake settled on one of his big arm chairs to unwind.

But rather than reading, he kept looking over at his cat. Because if he was honest with himself he hadn’t exactly checked-in in a while. He hasn’t asked Jonah if he still wants to live here.

Jake was quite fond of Jonah though. Adjusting to life without him again would be a challenge. It would be sad. And lonely. He hadn’t known what he had been missing but it was a lot. He didn’t want to miss it again. And, to be fair, Jonah was not trapped here. He left every day and chose to come back.

He wasn’t like those owners who imprisoned their cats. Tied them up so they could do whatever sick things they wanted to them. But this was Jonah’s home. If he didn’t return here every day he would be out on the street again. So it’s still not that much of a choice.

Still, there was no need to bring it up. Or it could wait until next week. He could never mention it and just assume that it was fine. But what if it wasn’t fine. What if Jonah wanted out but had no means to do so. What if he rather not have Jake’s hands all over him every day. If he learned everything was out of obligation-

He had to ask. Leaping out of his chair, he went over to Jonah, who had fallen asleep curled up on top of the blanket. His shoulder was warm when he nudged it to gently wake him up.

Jake slid onto the couch next to Jonah, who yawned and stretched partly into Jake’s lap. “Are we cuddling again already?”

“I wanted to talk to you for a sec first.” Jake took both of Jonah’s hands in his own, pressing his thumbs lightly into their palms. “Do you like living here? Is there anything you wish was different about the apartment or- what about this city? Would you rather live somewhere else entirely? With someone else? Or maybe you would rather live with your own in a cat colony rather than- than with me.”

“Do you want me to find somewhere else to go?” Jonah looked taken aback, his eyebrows furrowed and his ears pointed downward.

“Absolutely not! I- I love you. You’re the best thing in my life. You are so delightful. But, if you want to live anywhere else just say so and I will help you find it. You don’t need to stay here just because you can’t find anywhere else to go.”

“Why would I want help going anywhere else? I’ve never been more happy than I have with you. I like seeing you every day and talking to you about your work or your memories. I always feel safe with you and I love that you get me things and pet me and hold me. I would be your cat forever so I can keep living life next to you.”

Thank god. “Oh sweetheart, I’m glad it’s so easy to make you happy so I can keep doing it. I’m so happy and grateful that you’re here.” Jake pulled Jonah to him and took him in his arms.

Jake nestled against Jonah’s head, smiling. Jonah then rolled over in his lap, rubbing his whole body on Jake and then leaned his neck back on Jake’s shoulder. He was always a better cuddler.

Then he turned so that he was still sitting in Jake’s lap but he was facing towards Jake. He slid his hands over Jake’s arms and landed on his biceps, curling around them and purring. It reminded Jake of what he did earlier. He was telling him that he was here and won’t chose to leave. He loved his cat.

“I’m glad you asked to talk about that. There’s something I’ve been wanting to talk about too. I like cuddling and petting. I love how you scratch behind my ears and give me so much attention. I don’t want to act like I don’t. But, I think I would like more too. More physical intimacy. If that is something you would enjoy as well.” Jonah was staring up at him with his big brown eyes. And he wanted to be here. Jake didn’t need to ask-

“Are you sure? I’ve always found you incredibly sexy but I didn’t want to put that expectation on you.”

“It’s not on me. It’s something I’ve wanted. Jonah was starting to blush an absolutely lovely shade of pink. “Haven’t you noticed I’ve gotten hard in your lap before?

“I still didn’t want to- if you’re interested then I’m interested. And I am, sweetheart. You look so hot right now blushing like that from telling me how hard you got. Are you hard right now?” Okay, he was letting himself do this.

Jonah nodded, looking away and blushing more deeply. Then he looked back and nodded again.

“Oh sweetheart, there’s no need to feel embarrassed. I think it’s amazing. Can I see? I’ve been wanting to see your body for months. Jonah smiled wide then stepped off of Jake. He quickly removed his clothing so he was only wearing his red collar and then he got back on Jake’s lap.

“Is this what you’ve been wanting?” Jonah teased. But yes. Damn yes. How could someone so small be so sexy. His arms and legs had those lithe muscles that clung tightly to the body. His nipples were a dark shade of red and both pointing out as hard as could be. His bare ass felt round and plush on Jake’s straining cock. Jake had never before but he slid his hands under Jonah’s ass and dug his fingers into the soft flesh.

“Is this what you’ve been wanting” Jake retorted. Jonah’s dick twitched against his chest in response and he gave a small happy yelp. His dick was as small and cute as the rest of him and such a lovely shade of dusty pink.

Jonah moved closer, leaning on Jake and pressing himself up so they were face to face, lips so close. Jake smiled and leaned forward to accept the offer. They kissed once quickly but Jonah presented himself for another and then another again. His lips were so soft and wet and it felt so natural, they could have kissed a hundred times before. But Jake would have remembered the purring intermixed with the little gasps that were coming from Jonah’s lips. And the way he leaned into every kiss like it was a present.

After the next kiss, Jonah faltered, swaying a little to the side. “Please I can’t-

“I know, sweetheart. I want to do what you want. No need to ask for it” Jake wrapped his hand around Jonah’s dick and Jonah sighed in heavy relief. Jake pet Jonah’s firm little dick until his pet was moaning and purring with deep pleasure.

“Thank you.” Jonah said then repeated as Jake started to get faster, insistent on pleasing his pet to completion. Jonah gripped him tightly around the shoulders, grounding himself against Jake’s body.

Dipping down and kissing Jonah on the neck, Jake worked all around his collar, then stuck his tongue underneath the delicate silk to feel Jonah’s soft protected skin.

Jonah shuttered, body tightening in Jake’s hold. “That’s it, my love. You look so gorgeous half to coming for me.” And that was it. Jonah came in delicate ribbons and gentle moans. Afterwards, his ears, which had been straight up, drooped slightly to the side.

Since he didn’t sit still in Jake’s lap, Jake was half way to coming himself from Jonah’s round little bottom grinding on him purely by happenstance. But Jake was not sure if they would get to that today. They had done a lot more than usual already.

But at least one more thing: Jake held out his cum covered hand to Jonah. Without a word he started licking with his gentle tongue until there wasn’t a trace left. Cats did prefer to clean after themselves so Jake figured he would want to take care of this too.

“Hmmm yummy. I always like the taste of my own cum.” Since when was his little cat so lewd? To think of the filthy things he was doing in private that Jake could have partaken in.

“You always clean up after yourself with your tongue, dear?”

“Yes, right here on the couch, or on the electric blanket, or another cat bed you’ve left out for me. Sometimes during the day and sometimes at night after you have gone to sleep. I always wondered what would happen if you walked in on me.”

“I think we both know what would have happened now. I would have taken care of my pet.” Jake rocked back, letting his legs out and shifting Jonah’s wait more onto his chest, holding him close. Jonah nestled his head into Jake’s shoulder and purred gently.

In a soft voice he said “That’s not all I’ve done. I put my fingers in myself and imagined it was you. It wasn’t perfect because you’re so much bigger than me, but I wanted to guess at what it would be like.”

“Can we- Jonah looked away despite having said such naughty things already. “Can we go to your bedroom and-“

“It’s alright, dear. You don’t have to ask. You can just have it. Jake shifted, and Jonah got off of him so he could stand up. He then scooped Jonah into his arms and took him to the bedroom then gently placed him in the middle of the bed with a kiss on the lips.

Jonah was hard again and straining so Jake quickly got undressed and climbed onto the bed. They kissed again, slower but more deep. More wet. Jake slid his tongue over Jonah’s then down into his mouth. It felt so natural and perfect. Like his pet was always meant to be his and end up here in his bed under him.

While they continued to kiss, Jake moved his hands to Jonah’s thighs, massaging the soft skin, before pushing them further open. Jonah didn’t need more of a que. He spread his legs out, letting Jake curve his hand around him and find his opening.

He felt around it gently. Despite Jonah's persistent efforts, he still felt quite tight. He would need some work before he was ready. Jake stopped kissing Jonah so he could hold out his fingers for him again.
“Can you make my fingers as wet as you do for yourself?”

Jonah smiled then took Jake’s fingers into his mouth and sucked on them slowly, covering them in plenty of wetness. Jake could just leave his fingers in Jonah’s mouth like this and enjoy the picture of his cheeks hollowing out and lips pursing around him.

When Jonah was done, he pulled back and guided Jake’s hand back down to his waiting opening.

Jake started with one finger, sliding it in easily into that warmth. Jonah took long slow breaths, body easing up and going more limp. Jake pet Jonah behind the ear with his free hand as he put a second finger in.

Jonah gasped low but it didn’t sound pained. Good. The last thing he would want is to hurt his cat. Jake kept scratching behind Jonah’s ear or stroking his nose or carding through his hair to distract him from the intensity. It worked, and Jonah did not flinch or clench as Jake pulled his fingers apart to spread out Jonah’s opening further. As he did, he was treated to these delicate mews of pleasure and drawn-out soft purrs.

“You feel so good, Darling. I like how quickly you can go limp for me. I’m glad you trust me enough for this.” It was an honor. Cat’s don’t trust easily. But today Jonah went to him and asked to be fucked like this.

“I feel so happy right now. This is everything I’ve been wanting. I love getting touched like this.” Getting pet and fucked with Jake’s fingers at the same time. It was a pleasure for him as well. He smiled wide at his cat as he kept touching him just like that. Adding in a third finger and working Jonah open even more.

God the look of him. How has Jake’s dick not burst from just this seight alone? Jake was a big guy. Well built and tall. So he never felt tiny, but next to Jonah, he was huge. His hands always looked absurdly large on Jonah’s shoulders, and Jonah always looked so small spread over Jake’s large muscular thighs. But this- the sight of Jake’s thick fingers working their way in and out of Jonah’s ass was something he was not used to. It made his head spin.

After a few more minutes of fully getting Jonah prepped, they were both ready for what was next. Still, he paused and looked up at Jonah after he removed his fingers and put his hand back on Jonah’s inner thigh. Jonah smiled and nodded at him. Jake grinned back.

Then Jake lined himself up and entered Jonah slowly until he was completely inside him. He was not going to come from just that but he could. He hadn’t realized how much he had truly wanted this. To be trusted completely by another. To be pulled in and held. To have no line of separation between him and his beutiful pet. Jonah was fully and entirely his. Body and mind and soul. Jonah has chosen him.

He rocked back and then forward again. Back into his love. He was soft at first to make sure Jonah had fully adjusted before he picked up his pace. Jake was substantially, almost absurdly bigger than Jonah, so it was important to give him time even with their preparation.

It was worth the wait, because he heard no sign of pain from his cat. Only louder and louder meows of pleasure blended with deep long purrs.

“This is everything. Will you fuck me again after this? Can you fuck me every day. I love you so much and I don’t want us to ever end.”

“We won’t, darling. You know how I like to spoil you. I’ll give you everything you want. If you want me to fuck you every day then all you have to do is ask. No, all you have to do is look at me and want it. It’s yours. If you want me to spend hours sucking on your little dick until you can’t possibly come again for another week, it’s yours. If you want to nestle your body against my hard dick just to see how much of it can touch you all at once without letting me come then it’s yours. Whatever you want. You can have it.

To further demonstrate his point, he wrapped his hand around Jonah’s petite delicate dick and started pumping as quickly as he was fucking him.

Jonah looked so sweetly up at him and his smile was so pure and kind. “I love you too. I’m going to be good for you forever. I’m so glad you are my owner.”

It was amazing how coherent they both were given the pleasure that was pounding through them. But Jake felt a calm pleasure. He was home. He felt it more in this moment than he had in his entire life.
Jonah came first from getting both fucked and jerked off at the same time. It must have been too perfectly intense for his little cat. He could not hold on forever and there was no need to. They could do this for the rest of their lives.

Then for Jake, it was seeing Jonah. It was the sight of his small body tensing and his ears standing on end. It was feeling how tightly his arms were held onto. It was seeing Jonah’s orgasm burst out of him as he called out in immense overwhelming pleasure which ended in a long deep sigh, body easing completely. That was it for Jake.

He released into Jonah while holding onto him, wrapping his arms around him in a hug. Then they were both silent for a few moments, breathing deeply and holding on to one another. Jake pulled out but did not let go just yet. He wasn’t quite ready. Instead he moved his head down so his lips were right against Jonah’s ear.

“I have you.”

“You have me.”
