\par Standing silently and imposing with his arms crossed over his chest as his green eyes watched the hologram of the human home world, Earth spinning slowly from the holotable of his command bridge of his ship. The imposing and tall old Sangheili male figure
 was none other }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 than}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
, Rtas 'Vadum the Fleet Master of Retribution and Shipmaster of the Shadow Of Intent. The Sangheili in white assault harness combat armor with noticeably large shoulder pads and combat helmet, stood tall at an impressive 7'11'' inches ta
ll making him a couple inches taller than the Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, and weighing a 323 pounds, he was a few years younger than Thel 'Vadam, and the most memorable feature of Rtas was his two left missing mandibles. The Fleet Master was definitely a great a
nd impressive Sangheili male for sure.
\par Rtas heard the sound of }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 footsteps}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
 near him, causing him to slightly lift his head and look towards the sound coming near him. Turning around on the spot, Rtas saw what the sound }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 was;}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 
\f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  it was his mate and husband Arbit
er Thel 'Vadam. The silver armor of his mate shined brightly and nicely in this light as Thel's armored mandibles twitched upwards in a small smile, his husband of many years stood next to him now and it caused Rtas's right mandibles to grin upwards at th
e
 sight of his beloved mate. Thel 'Vadam was truly a true and strong Sangheili male as well, he stood at an impressive height of 7'9" feet tall just a few inches shorter than him, weighing a 319 pounds, strong muscles in his arms, chest, and legs, amber ey
es, and two years older }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 than}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  him. All in all, Thel 'Vadam was }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733 
very imposing, strong, and }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 handsome. The Fleet Master then broke the silence between him and his mate, Thel.\~
\par "Things look different without the Prophets' lies clouding my vision."\~
\par Rtas leaned his head in slightly closer to Thel's and continued speaking clearly, "I would like to see our own world - to know that it is safe."\~
\par Thel leaned his head into Rtas's and nuzzled his lover's right armored mandibles with his own armored ones as he li
fted his right hand and placed it gently onto the Fleet Master's left shoulder pad and gave it a soft squeeze of his hand as he leaned his head away from his husband's and looked at him with a kind and tired look as he spoke in his deep sounding voice, "F
ear not."\~
\par Thel removed his right hand from Rtas's left shoulder pad and turned around as he walked towards the ship's command chair as he spoke some more, "For we have made it so."\~
\par Rtas 'Vadum tiredly grinned and brought up his right hand to his chest and silhouetted his mate and slightly lowered his head downward, "By your word, Arbiter."\~
\par Thel 'Vadam made to the command chair of the ship and sit in it, as the chair and him turned around he gave out his command to the bridge crew, "Take us home."\~
\par Wit
h the command given to the bridge crew, the ship rumbled to life and started moving upwards. As the ship moved upward, the tall white Sangheili that stood still by the holotable, looked towards the command chair where Thel 'Vadam was sitting in and couldn
'
t help but smirk as he walked towards his mate. Rtas was now directly behind the command chair and Thel, he quickly wrapped his arms around the older Sangheili's neck and leaned his head downward right next to Thel's left ear and whispered hotly into his 
}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 husband\rquote s}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  left ear hole, which sent warm shavers down Thel's body.\~
\par "You know Thel, a sudden thought just crossed my mind."
\par Those words of Rtas's got Thel rather curious now, "Oh, and what might that be love?"\~
\par Rtas 'Vadam just smirked lewdly now, "You getting a great reward of sex and mating from your dearly beloved husband here, Thel 'Vadam."\~
\par Those warm and sexually words from Rtas sent more warm and arousing feelings through Thel's entire body right now, and
 it made both of his hearts beat fast with warmth and love. After all, he and Rtas hadn't any time together intimately since he become the Arbiter and when High Charity was still around, but now that the war was over for them and everyone else now. He and
 
Rtas now could be intimate any time they wanted, day or night. He certainly wasn't going to deny Rtas 'Vadam's claim of wanting to mate with him. So, Thel leaned his head and left mandibles into Rtas's right side of his head and lovingly nuzzled his husba
nd as the tall Sangheili male returned it back as well. As they both nuzzled, Thel broke the silence and placed his right hand onto Rtas's own hands and squeezed them gently.\~
\par "You know what, Rtas. That sounds like a great idea. Want to head to your room now or wait?" Thel answered with his deep voice.\~
\par Rtas stopped his nuzzling of his mate and slightly turned his head left and looked at Thel with his right green eye, "It's our room, Thel. But yes, now would be a good time now."\~
\par Thel nodded, "Alright, sounds like a plan."\~
\par Rtas 'Vadam seperated himself from Thel and moved a few steps behind him as he crossed his arms over his chest and waited for his husband. Thel got up from the command chair and walked behind it till he himself was by Rtas's side. As R
tas and Thel side by side now, the older Sangheili looked at his tall mate and nodded his head backwards towards the bridge crew as he spoke softly to his husband now.\~
\par "What about the bridge crew? You want to give them orders or should I?"\~
\par Rtas looked back at Thel 'Vadam and grinned, "Na, I'll give the order this time love."
\par Rtas 'Vadam with his arms still crossed and standing tall and noble as any Sangheili warrior looked towards his bridge crew of Sangheili warriors and brothers, and spoke out his orders to the bridge.\~
\par "Warriors and brothers, I and Arbiter need to rest for a long while. So, for the remained of time }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 you\rquote re}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733

Once both Sangheili males entered their room together with the door behind them closing and locking, both Thel and Rtas hugged each other and started nuzzling together as both whispered words of love and understanding between them. After all the mates had
n't been together intimately since Thel became the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714\charrsid16010733 Arbiter}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  and that was }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0

\f1\insrsid9315714\charrsid16010733 bodies}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  and little bites here and there. They continued their actions
 for five more minutes, but once the tall Sangheili male felt Thel move his right hand downward and grab his ass. He decided it was time to move on too more of the intimate side of love. The sex and mating part of it. Rtas 'Vadam felt Thel squeeze his but
t once more causing him to let out a low moan which made Thel smirk at the action.\~
\par "Seems to me somebody's ready to mate?" Rtas smirked sexually.\~
\par Thel 'Vadam just grinned, "Oh, you have no idea Rtas my dear."\~
\par Rtas felt the other male move his hands ov
er to his chest armor and started to pull on it, which told him that Thel wanted him now. But before that could happen, Rtas placed his right hand on the center of Thel's armored chest and stopped him, causing the other Sangheili male to look at him with 
question and confusion right now.\~
\par "Something wrong Rtas, my love?" Thel asked.\~
\par Rtas 'Vadam shook his head as a light purple blush graced his face, "No nothing's wrong, love. I want this more than anything really."
\par }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714 "But?" Thel asked}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733  his mate.\~
\par Rtas's blush became more visible now, "I want to prepare myself for you before we mate."
\par Thel 'Vadam just smiled and let out a small huff of breath now, he removed himself from his mate and walked towards the restroom of the bedroom before stopping midway causing 
Rtas to look his way. Thel looked over his right shoulder and looked back at his husband as he spoke, "Well, as you prepare yourself for me then I shall too get ready as well. So, you best be getting ready for what's to come Rtas 'Vadam, my loving husband
."\~
\par Rtas only nodded as his blush became more visible and seen now, seeing this happen caused Thel to chuckle as he walked towards the restroom and enter it as the door behind him close shut. The tall white armored Sangheili male stood still for a few }{
\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714\charrsid16010733 seconds;}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
 he looked around his and Thel's room. The bedroom wasn't really anything special, the large king sized bed with gray with grey bed sheets and pillows was to the side of him, a desk and chair to the left side of the room near the entrance of the room, 
bathroom was just a few feet away from him, and off to right side of the room was a couple of Sangheili made chairs with a wooden small table stuck in between them. The room was nice enough for sure, but Rtas 'Vadam still loved his and his mate's bedroom 
at their home in the state of 'Vadam on Sangheilios though.\~
\par Rtas 'Vadam shook his head from his thoughts and he started moving frantically around the bedroom now. Setting up the bed, turning a few lights on, and most importantly of all taking his armor of
f. Rtas sat himself on the edge of the bed and started taking his armor off piece by piece. He started with his chest armor first, then his shoulder pads, his arm armor, waist, legs, and then finally his combat white helmet which he placed gently on the b
edroom floor next to his other armor pieces. Rtas placed his hands on his knees and sighed gently to }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714\charrsid16010733 himself;}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
 he quietly moved his right hand to top of his chest and grab}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714 bed}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
 a small silver zipper to his skin tight suit. Which was the last and finally piece to 
take off, he quickly zipped the zipper downward until he felt the suit was loose enough for him to take off of his grey leathery skin. Once the suit was loose enough, Rtas stood up from the bed on his digitigrade legs and peeled off the suit from his body
.
 Once the suit was off and laying on the floor, the tall naked Sangheili male moved his hands all over his naked, strong, and muscularly chest, belly, and crotch. He looked downward towards his crotch and saw his big and long tapered light purple cock thr
obbing and twitching from his male slit. He grinned at }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid9315714\charrsid16010733 himself;}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af1 \ltrch\fcs0 \f1\insrsid16010733\charrsid16010733 
 he stopped touching his naked body and looking at his shaft, and walked around the bed before he reached the right side of it.\~
\par Rtas sat on the bedside and moved his right hand over to the bed
side table and pulled the drawer open and saw he wanted to use prepare himself. A bottle of lube. He quickly grabbed the bottle with his right and closed the drawer quickly with his left hand. With the small bottle of lube in his right hand, Rtas moved hi
m
self onto his back on the bed, laid his head on the soft pillows, and then he spread open his long digitigrades legs and moved them upward as his ass cheeks were spread as well. With the lube in hand, he removed the cap from the bottle and then poured som
e
 unto his left hand and two fingers, and quickly moved his left hand downward towards his anal entrance. Once his hand was there, Rtas moved his lubed fingers all around his winking grey entrance. Once that was done, he put more lube onto his fingers and 
m
oved them back towards his entrance way and quickly shoved his fingers into his ass causing him to moan out as he tossed the bottle of empty lube to the right with his right hand. He moved his fingers all around his tight and warm insides. Rtas groaned ou
t
 some as he felt his fingers move around his insides. To Rtas 'Vadam himself fingering himself was a great feeling for sure, but it would feel even greater once Thel's dick was inside of him though. He kept fingering himself for a few minutes more before 
h
e stopped and removed his fingers from his anus and moved his hands unto his chest and lowered his spread legs to the bed as he heard the door to the restroom open causing Rtas to look up from his pillow and smirk as he saw a wonderful and sexy sight befo
re him.\~
\par Standing before Rtas 'Vadam in the open restroom doorway, was a very naked and proud older Sangheili male with his arms crossed his over leathery skin chest, him grinning proudly, and his large, long, and girthy tapered cock throbbing and twitchin
g as light purplish pre-cum leaked from the tip of the shaft. Rtas felt his own shaft throb hard alone from the lovely sight of his naked husband. Thel's dark grey leathery skin looked so good right now, Rtas's green eyes wandered all over Thel's own stro
n
g and very noble body, he loved the sight very much indeed. His green eyes moved over to Thel's and saw the sight of the Mark of Shame below Thel's crossed arms. He hated that damn mark and what those pathetic Prophets did to his beloved husband. But now 
was not the time for bad memories. No, it was time for something better and brighter.
\par "I see you prepared yourself for me, Rtas." Thel said in his deep voice.
\par Rtas 'Vadam nodded, "Indeed I did, love. Now, how do you want me Thel 'Vadam?"\~
\par Thel uncrossed his arms and moved towards the end of the bed before he stopped, and looked at Rtas with want and lust in his ember eyes.\~
\par "You on all fours, Rtas 'Vadam." Thel ordered lovingly to his mate and husband.\~
\par Rtas 'Vadam only nodded, and with h
is orders set he got himself on his hand and knees with his rear end facing Thel's way now. Rtas looked over his right shoulder and smirked hotly at his mate and shook his ass side to side. Thel quickly got on the bed and moved behind Rtas 'Vadam, he line
d up his crotch and cock with Rtas's rear end. Thel 'Vadam with his hands grabbed Rtas\rquote s rear cheeks and spread them open as he saw the tight and lubed up clenching light grey entrance that rested below his mate\rquote 
s lovely ass cheeks. He then moved his groin forward and moved his shaft in between Rtas\rquote s rump cheeks. Thel \lquote Vadam then lined up his shaft with the taller Sangheili\rquote s anus and he then pressed his cock tip directly into Rtas \lquote 
Vadam\rquote s warm rim entrance. He felt the heat and tight clenching entrance way squeeze around his cock tip and sent warm and lustfully feelings up his own tail and spine, as Rtas watched his mate doing this to him.
\par Rtas \lquote Vadam let out a low growl escape from his throat, as he felt the tip of Thel's dick pressing against his hot and tight lubed entrance way. He couldn\rquote 
t wait till that cock tip penetrated him and started breeding him right away. His lustfully desire to be penetrated by his mate was granted, he then felt his husband\rquote s cock tip start to sink into his anus as his hole s
tarted widening around his lover\rquote s large and long shaft, he moaned out as he felt himself being penetrated by his mate\rquote s dick. He then heard Thel let out his own loud groan as he pushed more of his shaft slowly into him, Rtas couldn\rquote 
t help but grin and feeling proud right now as he was the one bringing pleasure and love for his beloved husband, Thel \lquote Vadam.
\par Rtas \lquote Vadam then looked forward ahead of him, as he moaned out some more as his hands gripped at the grey bed sheets below him, clinging to the soft material as he felt Thel sink more of his cock into his ass. Thel \lquote 
Vadam huffed out a moan behind him. The experience of mating together was pleasurable and exciting for the both of them as the Sangheili male began eagerly breeding Rtas\rquote s asshole. He felt Th
el shove the rest of his long and hard shaft into his entrance way which made him groan out in pleasure from the sudden move from his husband. The lubrication he put into himself earlier helped smooth everything up in his hot and tight insides as the olde
r Sangheili's large and long cock sunk itself deep into him. He felt Thel remove his hands from his rump cheeks and onto his hips once again, he then heard Thel \lquote 
Vadam groan out loud with pleasure as he started pulling out his shaft until only the cock tip remained inside, only then to thrust himself forward as Thel\rquote s cock speared and spread his tight entrance wider around the older Sangheili\rquote s dick.

\par Thel \lquote Vadam started thrusting his large, long, and throbbing shaft in and out of Rtas \lquote Vadam\rquote s hot and clenc
hing ass, slowly creating a rhythm of slow and hard thrusting, the older Sangheili male was in heaven right now as he felt the hard and tight clenching hot walls of his mate\rquote 
s insides around his cock. He saw Rtas close his green eyes as his right mandibles open at the plethora of pleasurable sensations he was feeling from his large cock that was moving in and out of him.
\par Thel was growling softly with groans, as he thrusted his Sangheili cock hard in and out of the taller Sangheili\rquote s anus. The shots of pleasure made the taller Sangheili male on all fours trembled with pleasure as he let out loud moans. Thel\rquote 
s groin made contact with Rtas\rquote s rear cheeks every time he thrusted his shaft in and out of the other Sangheili asshole as the loud slapping sounds of scales meeting echoed out though their shared bedroom. Rtas \lquote 
Vadam made himself relax his whole body and insides despite the intensity of the hard mating he was getting from Thel, making the older male Sangheili's thrusting slow and hard while letting himself enjoying the experience of mating.

\par Thel \lquote Vadam\rquote s thrusts became quick and shallow now, as his breathing became louder and a signal that Rtas \lquote Vadam knew all that meant was that Thel was about to release and so he was too. With one last hard, shall

\par Rtas \lquote Vadam\rquote s green eyes cros
sed in pleasure as he felt himself releasing everything he held in his big and long dick, as he released all the pearly light purplish cum unto the soft bed sheets below him. He also felt the lovingly and hot warm cum rushing deep into his anus from his m
ate\rquote s throbbing hard and long girthy cock. It was the greatest feeling in the world, having his asshole being filled with his husband\rquote 
s shaft and hot rushing cum. Rtas allowed the surge of high bliss and pleasure to overcome him as his own asshole clenched 
down hard on Thel's throbbing long and large cock instinctively as he continued shooting his strong and honorable light purplish cum on the bed sheets below him. Rtas heard Thel \lquote 
Vadam moaning out loud too as he continued shooting his own strong and proud Sangheili seed deep into his anus. Thel\rquote s moaning was like music to Rtas \lquote Vadam's ears and it made him smirk.
\par As for Thel \lquote Vadam himself was overcome with pleasure as well, as he continued releasing his hot cum deep into his mate\rquote s tight insides. Thel then affectionately kissed his husband\rquote s leathery skin neck as he heard Rtas \lquote 
Vadam let out a very low purr escape from his throat. Thel felt Rtas\rquote s arms starting to tremble slightly right now and he knew the taller male couldn\rquote t hold their weight forever. Bu
t, the taller Sangheili instead lowered himself and Thel onto the soft grey bed sheets below and rested his body on the bed sheets as he crossed his arms on the bed and then finally rested his head on his crossed arms and closed his green eyes as he still
 felt Thel on top of him and his throbbing hard cock deep into his anus as he felt Thel \lquote Vadam\rquote s groin was pressed up against his leathery skin rump cheeks. The sudden move surprised Thel, but he just grinned and laid himself over Rtas
\rquote s back and nuzzled his mandibles into his mate\rquote s neck and moved his arms underneath Rtas\rquote s body and wrapped his arms around his husband, and lightly thrusted his shaft into Rtas\rquote 
s asshole causing the taller Sangheili to growl out in pleasure. Thel stopped his nuzzling of his mate and laid his head down unto Rtas\rquote s neck and slightly close his amber eyes somewhat and decided to enjoy the afterglow of his and his mate\rquote 
s mating as silence and light breathing from the two Sangheili mates echoed throughout the bedroom. But that wasn\rquote t to last however as the older Sangheili to break the silence and Rtas to reopen his green eyes once more.

\par Rtas \lquote Vadam just tiredly and lightly shook his head on his crossed arms, \'93No. And you\rquote d better not, Thel \lquote Vadam. I quite enjoy the feeling of your dick inside me right now, so, no pulling out, my dear.\'94
\par Thel \lquote Vadam tiredly chuckled and closed his amber eyes, \'93Just making sure, my love, just making sure.\'94
\par With that, Rtas \lquote Vadam simply grinned tiredly and closed his green eyes once more and decide to rest as well, just like his beloved husband was doing on top of him right now. Before he could rest however,
 he simply spoke out the softest and warmest words coming out of his right mandibles.
\par \'93I love you, Thel \lquote Vadam. So, very much my dear.\'94
\par And Thel himself with his eyes closed and resting now softly replied back, \'93I love you too, Rtas \lquote Vadam. My handsome and strong husband as well.\'94
\par The two Sangheili males quickly fell into a nice and deep rest of sleep, as the light snores of the two quickly echoed throughout their room on the moving and rumbling ship, Shadow Of Intent that was moving ever onward towards
