She could feel him everywhere.

“Fuck,” she whispered, hissing out a long breath. “I don’t know if I can... Can...”

“You can, love.” Arges bent her slightly away from him, shuddering at the movement and drawing the tip of her breast into his mouth.

The subtle pull of his mouth, the bumps of his tongue moving over her nipple, it was so much on top of the fullness. And then he moved.

Oh, he moved.

A slow glide, so wet and easy that the friction was almost missed until he glided back inside her. Slowly, ever so slowly. The movement was so gentle and she felt her body opening up to him. Allowing him to move, glide, shift until there wasn’t a hint of pain or discomfort.

There was only slick, incredible pressure. From every angle and every part of her body.

She didn’t know when her mouth had dropped open, and he took advantage of it. Arges plunged his tongue into her mouth, licking and biting until she was whimpering in his grip.

“Breathe, kairos,” he hissed against her lips. “You feel incredible. You take me so fucking well.”

She moaned. “Move, Arges. Faster, harder, do something.”

She was begging him to make her come. Right now this was so good, but she was on the edge of something incredible and she didn’t know how to make it better. He flexed his hips and suddenly...

Fuck, he plunged into her hard. So hard it felt like her mind fractured. She groaned out a sound that she’d never made in her life as he held onto her hips and bucked. Hard. Harder. Achingly perfect as he bottomed out inside her.

She pressed a hand to her belly, feeling him moving inside her, and hissed out a long sound as he tugged her forward.

Nipping at her neck, he growled, “You’re going to make me come so hard, Mira. Fuck, you’re perfect.”

She arched her back and shattered. The guttural sound of his voice, the groaning need that rumbled out of his chest… It sent her right over the edge. Vaguely, she could feel him join her. The flooding heat that consumed both of her holes, filling her to the very brim with his need and desire.

They were both breathing hard. Or he was breathing hard, filling her lungs over and over again until she felt a little lightheaded. Or maybe that was the orgasm that had shattered her very soul. She could still feel little aftershocks that squeezed his cocks inside her, making him kick a few times before he let out a little chuckle and pulled himself free from her.

“Did I hurt you?” he asked.

“Not at all.” She’d be sore in the morning, but he didn’t need to worry about that. Mira had been so certain she could take him, and she’d proven she could. It was her own damn fault if she was sore, and it would be a lovely reminder about the adventure they’d had.

Burying her face in his neck, she nuzzled into his gills as they both settled onto the sea floor. Dust plumed around them, and she realized they had actually been sinking.

He tilted back, lying down in the sand with her on his chest and his arms around her. His cocks were still half hard, wedged between her legs and strangely comforting.

“Well?” she asked, drawing circles on his chest. “What did you think?”

He huffed out a breath that made her cough with the force of it. “You stole my mind, Mira. How could I ever go back to the way things were before? I didn’t even know it was possible for me to come with both of my cocks at the same time. That was... Shocking.”

She giggled. But the sound bubbled out of her, sending tiny air bubbles wiggling through the water and up toward the surface. “Well, I did want to blow your mind.”

“Indeed, you did.” He gathered her a little closer, arranging her legs on either side of him so she was comfortable. “You are a gift from the sea, Mira. A rare pearl I am so lucky to have found. I do love you, you know. More than anything else in this world. You hold my soul in your chest. Wherever you go, I will never be far from you.”

Her hair billowed around them, red tangling around the electric blue of his body. “I love you,” she whispered, pressing a kiss to his gills. “No matter how different we are or where we came from. You are mine, Arges. And I am yours.”

Epilogue

Mira

Mira was cautiously optimistic about the future. More and more undines showed up at the dome, politely asking if they could also be fitted with a translator. Though she had yet to meet any members of the council or the woman that Arges called “Mitéra”, she hoped someday she would. They still didn’t trust her, and she supposed that was their right.

Arges, on the other hand, was quick to ask her opinion about everything. He let her know that their attack on Beta had been successful. The undines now had weapons they could use against her own people. And even though it felt a bit like she was going against her own kind, she showed them how to use the weapons. She even showed them how to store the guns and welders and all other manner of nonsense that they’d stolen, so that the sea wouldn’t destroy them before they could ever attempt to use them.

Maybe it was the wrong thing to do. She should have fought against them, told them that the humans were worth fighting for. Maybe there was another person out there as well who would change their mind.
