Page 23 of His Human to Chase

I suck in a deep breath as Yril lunges for another one of his brothers, but two of them grab his arms and pull him back.

“He won’t hurt me.” I push at Toron’s hands, but he’s hyperfocused on my eyes, watching me with absolute brokenness that breaks my heart.

“Toron, please.” I know saying his name normally would indicate I want to sleep with him, but I’m hoping he hears the worry in my voice for Yril and knows I’m only saying his name to tell him I am here and I am with him. “I didn’t protect your mate. Let me protect him.”

Toron’s eyes soften for a moment, his grip on my shoulder moving to hold my cheek. “We are meant to protect you.”

“Most of the time,” I nod, keeping Toron’s eyes even though I can see Yril releasing all of his fury on males he loves. “Let me protect your brothers now.”

I push his hand off my face, and this time, he lets it fall to his side. A worried look creases his brow, but he doesn’t stop me from moving toward the mass that is trying to contain my mate.

“Yril!”

“Brother, stop this.”

“You do not want to do this.”

The voices of the other demons all mix together until they’re nothing but a raging storm around me as I push through the bodies surrounding my Yril. He’s a snarling monster perched on one of their chests, his claws digging into a neck and another pressed into the demon’s chest, cutting into the tunic and pricking the scales enough to bring blood.

“Yril,” My voice is barely there above the chaos around us, but I keep moving closer when his body stiffens to me saying his name.

I get closer to him, and his brothers start to silence their words. I suck in a deep breath when I realize it’s Ralleth who he has pinned to the ground. There’s a good chance that even if I get him out of this without having killed any of his brothers, he still might be punished. I’m given a wide berth. The demons all know only one person is going to get through to Yril right now, and if I can’t do it, they’re going to have a dead tribe leader.

“My verpar,” I whisper as I touch his shoulder. He snarls and snaps his teeth at me, but I inch toward him more. “Come be scary with me, Yril. Use those claws and those teeth on me.”

Yril’s body tenses even more, but he pulls away from Ralleth’s neck just enough that he’s not in as much danger as he was a moment ago. I need all of the others to stay away from us right now and for Ralleth not to say a single word. Yril is a loose cannon, and if he’s startled even a little bit, I’m pretty sure he’ll swipe Ralleth’s throat from his body.

“You told me you’d do anything I asked. Do you remember that?”

Yril hisses at me. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to take it as an affirmative or a fuck off, but I continue on like I got the answer I wanted.

“I want you to let go of your leader,” I rub my hand over his shoulder and move my feet so I’m standing almost in front of him with my face close to his. He refuses to meet my eyes, but he bares his teeth at me all the same. “I want you to let him go so you can hold me instead. That sounds nice, yeah?”

His eyes narrow for a fraction of a second, and he lets out a sound that sounds more like a whimper than any of the scary noises he was making before. His eyes flick to mine and then back to Ralleth, who he still has pinned to the ground. I don’t look anywhere except for Yril’s eyes, so he knows he is all that matters to me right now. I know he has brothers who are bleeding because of him, but they are not my priority.

I place my other hand on his cheek and use all my strength to tilt his head in my direction. He huffs about it and then reluctantly turns his eyes on me. “I want my verpar to play with me.”

This time the whimper is evident to everyone around, and I know some of his brothers are going to be giving him shit when he finally comes back from his bloodlust. He’ll deserve it, though. Especially considering he really slashed through some of them.

“Do I need to run from you?” I cock an eyebrow, and he bares his teeth at me again, but this time there’s amusement in his eyes instead of the fierce anger that was there moments before. His hands are still on Ralleth, but his claws have retracted significantly, and his fangs are pulling back into his jaw. “Let your leader go, and I’ll run.”

Yril looks back down at Ralleth, who I’m sure is fuming, but he’ll just have to deal with almost being killed by one of his goddess’s chosen warriors. I’ll have Yril grovel and apologize after he works out all of his anger on my body. Preferably with his tongue, but I’ll take other forms of work as well.

With a final huff, Yril pulls his hands from Ralleth’s body and interlocks his fingers behind his head. He gives me a devilish smile right before I turn from him and make a run toward our room down the hall. For all of a second, I think about running outside, but I don’t need him worrying about the other males that might be out there. Plus, I’m not trying to get kidnapped, too. All of the other demons thankfully clear a path for me, probably grateful they don’t need to restrain one of their own.

“Foolish choice, floof,” Yril hisses as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me against his chest. We’re so close to our bedroom, but Yril doesn’t care about any of that right now. He wanted to chase his prey, and now he’s caught me.

“Someone might see out here,” I wriggle around in his grasp as he tears through my tunic to expose my body.

Yril hisses again as he spins me around and then pushes me down to my knees. “They are not foolish males, little floof.”

“Are they too scared of—“ I don’t get to finish goading him before he has his cock unsheathed and shoved into my mouth.

“I will use your body for a while, Skylar,” He says my name with utter devotion even though lust is obviously in control of him right now.

His hand wraps in my hair but doesn’t force me to take any more of his length than I am eagerly sucking on already. He just needs to hold me, feel close to me, as I bring him all the pleasure he could ever want. “I’m so close to snapping I need to exhaust myself.”

I moan a hum of approval against his cock that has his fingers tightening in my hair and his hips bucking softly into me until I take more of him. I gag once against his intrusion before settling my throat and accepting him. He lets out a low hiss as I push him back into the front of my mouth and swirl my tongue around the tip of his cock. His whole body tenses, and I smile up at him with my eyes, watching as he comes undone because of me.
