A Boar, A Moose, And A Fox (Strade/Ren/Lawrence BTD Fic)

Going out with a bang for the July Ficfest! Here's a triple decker club sandwich, with a bit of meat from 3 wonderful men!

Contains: Strade, Lawrence, Ren, Threesome, Oral, Anal, Heat, Non-Con, Dub-Con, Stepping on, Necrophilia Mention, Torture Mention, asphyxiation

“Come into the basement, Ren! I got a new friend I want you to meet!” Strade had been super jovial. Which wasn’t a good sign, especially not when Ren was nearing the end of his heat.

Strade often liked to fuck with him and see what he could get him to do when he got like this. There wasn’t much Ren could say no to either, it was so easy to fall into his baser instincts and embrace his more animalistic side.

The man in the basement was quiet, avoiding eye contact.

“Say hello to Lawrence, Ren! I met him a few nights ago, isn’t he cute?” Ren couldn’t say he was. He had a gaunt appearance to him, and a weird sickly sweet smell, like fruit left out to rot in the sun. He nodded anyway, watching Strade pull up a chair.

Whatever had been expecting to happen down here, it was not being pulled into Strades lap. He gave a whine of indignity as Strade shucked his shorts down, beginning to palm the foxes crotch.

“S-Strade!” Ren yelped, his body lurching at the sudden heavy contact. Strade ignored him, resting his chin on Ren’s shoulder to look at Lawrence.

“This is Ren, Lawrence! I bet you're so happy to finally meet him after I talked so much about him.” Ren gave a soft mewl, as Strade wrapped a calloused hand around Ren’s growing erection, beginning to pump it. Lawrence just mumbled something that was barely audible, his face growing red as he refused to look at either of them.

“Truth be told though, Lawrence…” Ren snapped his hips upward into Strades hands, beginning to moan. “Ren’s always been a horny little pest. Insatiable, really. I was hoping you could help me out with him… I thought maybe you’d appreciate the chance to play with a warm body.”

Ren was breathless in Strades grasp, it had been a long time since Strade had offered him pleasure without pain. He was soaking it in as much as he could, but couldn’t help but pause. Play with a warm body? Did that mean…? A shudder ran up his spine, glancing back at Lawrence.

“Haha! Look at that Ren!” Strade stopped rubbing Ren, pointing now at Lawrence’s crotch. Sure enough, there was a bulge formed, with Lawrence now mumbling about how it wasn’t what it looked like.

“S-Strade…” Ren didn’t really want to get near someone who had fucked a dead body. He didn’t have much of a choice though as Strade pushed him off his lap, and he collapsed on the floor. A kick to his rear sent him crawling forwards, towards Lawrence, eyes trained on his clothed erection.

“Go ahead, Ren. You’ve got a really talented mouth, help him out a little.” Ren swallowed back his disgust, trying not to think of where this dick had been. Using his teeth, something he knew Strade liked, he got a grip on the band of the sweatpants, pulling them down.

He closed his eyes as Lawrence’s cock sprang forth, slapping him in the cheek. Christ, he was huge. A lot longer than Strade by far. Ren gave a small gag, he smelt incredibly… ripe. Almost like ammonia.

Closing his eyes, he ran his tongue over the length of Lawrence’s cock, listening as Lawrence’s breath hitched a little. He didn’t taste as bad as he smelt, but still a little funky. Wetting his lips, he took the head into his mouth, looking up at Lawrence.

Those blue eyes seemed to pierce into him, he was a bit startled. He hadn’t expected Lawrence to be making direct eye contact with him. He had his teeth grit, panting as Ren took more and more of his length into his mouth. Ren’s ears flicked as he heard Strade get up.

“Come on, Ren. You can do better than that.” Ren’s first and only warning as to what was to come was the sudden panic in Lawrence’s face. Then he felt the rough heel of Strades boot on the back of his head.

His yelp of pain was muffled as Strade applied pressure, forcing Ren to deep throat, burying his nose into Lawrence’s pubic bone.

“W-Wait!” Ren could hear Lawrence beginning to protest. Ren could only choke and gag, doing his best to get himself used to the giant cock stuffed into his gullet.

He-Ah… He can’t breathe, he's going to-nng.” Lawrence’s protests were interrupted by him moaning, clearly he was feeling just as conflicted, because he was thrusting his hips up as best he could from his tied up position. Strade was letting out a guffaw, grinding his boot into Ren's skull. It hurt, it was a miracle Ren had managed to keep himself from biting down.

“I thought you liked them better when they weren't breathing, Law…” Strade purred, as Ren’s vision began to spot. His chest was beginning to ache, his lungs screaming for fresh air.

“It- It was a misunderstanding.” Lawrence gasped. Ren began trying to pull his head up. Strade had to let him up, he needed to breathe. There were lights dancing in his vision as his stomach began to jerk and cramp, his heartbeat going out of control.

The weight on his head vanished, and he yanked his mouth off of Lawrence’s cock, coughing and choking as he inhaled.

“Holding up there, buddy?” Strade asked, grabbing Ren by his scruff and shaking him a bit.

“S-Strade, let me go back upstairs, please…” He knew begging was useless. But it was all he could think to do. He just wanted to hide in his bed, clean himself up.

“Are you sure about that, Buddy?” Strade said, his voice sounding empathetic. “You’re still hard as a rock, shouldn’t we take care of that before we end this visit?”

Ren looked down at himself, sure enough, Strade was right. Despite what he’d just been through, he was harder than ever. His cock ached, and he found himself wishing he were back in Strades lap, having it carelessly jerked off by those big warm hands.

“Don’t look so somber, buddy.” Ren looked up as Strade clapped a hand on his shoulder, before beginning to wedge his hands under Ren’s armpits. “I got an idea that will satisfy…. All of us.” he grinned, before tossing Ren back.

Ren flinched and Lawrence let out a wheeze as the fox landed half haphazardly in Lawrence’s lap. Ren quickly scrambled to find a better position, staring down at the intimidating length between his thighs.

“Since you got Lawrence all nice and slicked up, he can have your ass. I’ll take that pretty little mouth of yours now.” Ren watched, feeling Lawrence panting against him as Strade unbuckled his pants, pushing them down lazily before pulling his own cock out. He was already beginning to leak precum from the tip, he’d definitely been hard for a while.

Ren felt a little hazy. The air was thick with the smell of sex, and he groaned, pressing himself back against Lawrence. He glanced back at the much taller man, who looked like he was both just as desperate for some touch, and also would much rather be anywhere else.

Planting his knees on the ground and straddling Lawrence in an awkward reverse cowgirl, Ren lined himself up with Lawrence. He wasn’t as thick as Strade, and slipped in a lot easier. But god, lowering himself further, his length was still something to reckon with.

“That’s it, Ren… Go on, fuck yourself on his cock.” Strade encouraged him, lazily jerking himself off. Ren nodded, trying to let Strade know he was following his instructions. Lawrence was letting out moans again, moans he was doing his best to muffle and bite back.

After a few moments, Ren gave a small groan and planted himself down all the way. His mouth opened wide, panting. He was so deep inside of him, his stomach felt hot, like he was being filled with a warm drink.

Strade took advantage of his open mouth, slapping the tip of his cock on Ren’s exposed tongue. Dutifully, Ren closed his mouth around Strades cock, beginning to bob his head forward. It took him a moment, trying to find a good rhythm between bouncing on Lawrence’s dick and swallowing Strades cock.

The moans of the two men fucking him were filling the basement though, the scent of sweat and cum were all Ren could smell, it felt like all his senses were being assaulted by them both.

“Are you enjoying my fox, Lawrence?” Strade was talking again, he was almost always talking. “I usually don’t share him much, but I figured maybe I’d let you take a spin.”

“H-He’s warm…” Lawrence sounded like he was completely lost, and also close. Strade began to laugh, digging his fingers into Ren’s hair.

“See? I told you you’d like a warm body once you were able to try one!” he laughed, his cock twitching in Ren’s mouth. Ren was doing his best to ignore the topic Strade was trying to turn the conversation towards. All he was focusing on now was getting himself to cum, riding Lawrence as fervently as he could as his own cock bounced, slapping against his stomach, smearing pre-cum across his navel.

Around Strade’s own cock, Ren was groaning, letting out those odd yips and barks he usually did during sex. He was just so close, just a little more-

His moans were no longer muffled as Strade pulled out of his mouth, groaning as he jerked himself once, twice. Knowing what was coming, Ren closed his eyes, opening his mouth, feeling Strades cum splatter across his face, clinging to his eyelashes and sticking to his tongue.

Salty, Bitter, he swallowed it as best he could, before hilting Lawrence’s cock fully inside of himself, his knot inflating as he let out a fox-like scream, finally cumming.

He was exhausted, and could only sit there, twitching, moaning as he felt Lawrence’s seed spill inside him, Lawrence letting out a long drawn out whimper as he did.

“That feel good, buddy?” Ren didn’t know who the question was directed at, so he just nodded, pulling himself off of the quickly softening cock.

“... I’ve never…” Lawrence began to speak, but stopped himself. Ren and Strade both already knew he’d never fucked a living person before.

“I’m glad you enjoyed yourselves. Now, Ren, I need your help for something else… Lawrence here is really bad at making decisions so… Hammer, or Drill?”

Ren swallowed, recognizing those words all too well. He glanced back at Lawrence, then at Strade, then towards the rack of tools at the back of the room. Seems like Strade wasn’t done playing with them both just yet.

Prompt-oween Day 3

@occreatorexchange

Prompt: “I’m not watching horror movies just so you can hold me under the pretense of protecting me from the movie. If you want to cuddle, all you have to do is ask.”

Fandom: The Karate Kid/Cobra Kai

Characters: Julie Lawrence (OC), Jimmy

Rating: T

Summary: Julie was expecting something more when Jimmy invited her over to watch some horror movies.

Notes: Takes place in between currently unpublished chapters of my fic, Is This Love?

Sorry that this fic is a day late. I didn't have much time to work on it last night, it kept getting longer and started to diverge from its original ending.

Julie runs over to pick up the phone. “Hello?”

“Hey, Jules.”

The sound of his voice leaves her nearly breathless. She wasn’t expecting Jimmy to call. She hasn’t seen or spoken to him in days. Their respective friends have kept them apart. Not that their friends had found out about them yet, which Julie was thankful for.

“Hey, yourself,” Julie replies. She twirls the phone cord around her finger, hoping she doesn’t sound like a total dork. Flirting was not her forte. “What’s up?”

“I’m free this weekend. Do you want to come over? Assuming that you’re free, too, of course.”

Her throat goes dry. She bites her lip. “What do you have in mind?”

Julie isn’t sure what she’d do or say if he says that it’s time for them to sleep together. She still wants to, of course. That was the deal. But he’s been keeping them on the slow path. Frankly, she’s been enjoying it. But time is running out. She’ll be heading to Berkeley soon.

“I was hoping you might like to join me for a movie marathon.”

Julie blinks. That’s not exactly what she was expecting him to say. But she’s not sure if she’s disappointed or not. Julie has always loved movies, but Jimmy was kinda a geek about them. And it was definitely a turn on. That in itself has her leaning toward saying yes, but that hopefulness in his voice is sending her over the edge. And maybe, just maybe, he was too polite to ask over the phone if she was ready and willing to have sex.

“Okay. But you’re sure there is no chance of the guys springing something on you?”

“I’m sure. Dutch wanted to go to some car show or race. Tommy’s going with him. Bobby is at some church retreat for the whole weekend. And your brother will be working.”

“Good,” Julie sighs in relief. “Do we want to do this on Friday or Saturday?”

“Well,” Jimmy begins. “I was thinking we could start on Friday night and continue on Saturday. And that you would spend the night.”

Hearing that has her heart beating so rapidly that she thought it would beat out of her chest. She twists the cord anxiously. “You want me to spend the night.” She’s not sure if that was a statement or a question.

“If that’s okay.” Julie can hear something in his voice. Is it hope or fear?

“Yes.” Did I say that? Okay, yes, I’m going to commit to this, she thinks to herself. “Would five o’clock be too early?”

“It’s a date,” Jimmy confirms.

Her heartbeat spikes again.

“Well, not a date, but…”

“Yeah. I know what you mean.”

As she sets the phone back on the cradle, Julie bites her lip. Is it too soon to start packing? What does she need to bring? What does she wear?

***

Julie knocks on Jimmy’s door fifteen minutes early. He opens the door, grinning.

“You know, you could have let yourself in. It was unlocked. And I did give you a key, which you’ve used a few times before if I recall.”

She smiles back shyly. “True.”

Jimmy slips an arm around her waist, ushering her inside. “Come on in. I hope that pizza is okay. It should be here in about ten minutes.”

“No, it’s fine. I can’t expect a gourmet meal every time I see you.”

Jimmy laughs. “It’s been a long week and I’m treating myself. And by that, I mean not having to worry about washing dishes. Did you have any problems with Sid about staying out?”

She shakes her head, dropping her backpack by the couch. “No. He bought the cover story. And he’s got some business dinner at the club. Nicky’s got my back in case he does call.”

Julie spots a collection of movies sitting on the coffee table, some in the typical cardboard cases and others that came from Blockbuster. A bowl of popcorn sits in the center of the table. She looks up at Jimmy. “So, you weren’t kidding about a movie marathon.”

He cocks his head, frowning slightly. “No. I know you like movies just as much as I do. And I thought we could spend some time together.”

“Yeah, I get that,” she says quietly. “But you also said you wanted me to spend the night.”

Then the realization hits him. “Oh. You thought we were going to…”

“Yeah,” Julie finishes the thought for him. Realizing that she was wrong, it’s hard to look him in the eyes. She wraps her arms around herself to keep still, and maybe as an act of comfort. “I mean, the last time we were here together, things got a bit hot and heavy before we got rudely interrupted. I just thought we were going to pick up where we left off. And that the movie marathon was just a nice ploy to get me here. Now, I feel like an idiot.”

Jimmy closes the distance between them, one hand at the small of her back and the other cupping her cheek. He leans down to kiss her. “Don’t,” he murmurs as his lips touch hers. Julie uncrosses her arms, letting her hands roam up and grip Jimmy’s blue cotton shirt. She is taken by surprise as he licks her lips, begging for entrance. Julie has no problem complying. She grows weak in the knees and the only thing holding her up is Jimmy’s strong arms.

There’s a knock at the door. Reluctantly, Jimmy pulls away. “That’ll be the pizza,” he says out of breath.

“Damn it,” Julie groans, sitting on the arm of the couch. “Why are we constantly getting interrupted?”

Jimmy laughs, wiping his mouth, as he walks over to the door. “Maybe our timing is off.”

***

While Jimmy deals with the delivery guy, Julie goes to the kitchen, to get paper plates, napkins, and two cans of soda.

Jimmy had moved the stacks of movies to one corner of the table to set the pizza boxes down. The bowl of popcorn moves to the opposite side of the table.

“So, you never said what we’re watching,” Julie comments as she hands Jimmy a plate.

He looks up at her as he pulls apart two slices of pizza. “What, you didn’t look over them?”

She stares him down as she accepts the slice he puts on her plate. “I think we’ve established that my mind was on other things.”

Jimmy grins. “I thought we could watch some horror movies.” He wipes his hands on a napkin before putting one of the tapes into the VCR. “I thought we might start with Dolls.”

They settle themselves on the couch as the opening credits play. Julie turns to him with a raised eyebrow. “I’m not watching horror movies just so you can hold me under the pretense of protecting me from the movie. You know me. Movies don’t scare me easily. If you want to cuddle, all you have to do is ask.”

Jimmy smiles big, his face all lit up. “Consider this me asking,” he replies playfully.

Julie scoots closer to him, nearly sitting on his lap.
