Page 29 of Grabbed By the Guard

From what I’ve learned about Billie, through her essence and from being so close to her these last few days, it is a miracle that she admitted as much to me. But I’ve been watching her closely since I gave her my essence, and though I hoped the chains would dull the mate sickness, or there would be more time before it struck… I know that I must tell her the truth.

“It is the mate sickness,” I admit.

“I knew this wasn’t normal.” She narrows her eyes at me. “What did you do to me?”

“It wasn’t me. It’s the gods?—”

Billie pushes her damp curls out of her face so that she can glare even harder. “The gods want me to get laid?” At my blank look, she elaborates. “Sex. They want us to fuck. Is that what you’re trying to tell me?”

Fuck?

Mate.

Ah. So she does understand. “Yes. They’ve matched us together as mates. They’ve given us a bond to grow and nurture. But we’ve neglected it. Now that the essence exchange is complete, they’re reminding us how we will fulfill the bond.”

“So what? You gave me your essence to make me horny as hell?”

I glance at the top of her curls. “You don’t have any horns,” I say gently. “I don’t mind. You are attractive to me without them. But though I can make you immortal with our bond, I cannot give you horns.”

Billie stamps her foot in frustration, then hisses in a breath when her breasts jiggle. She cups them, then scowls when she sees that my attention has dropped there. “I know I don’t have horns, Glaine. That’s not what I meant. You did something to me and now I feel like, if I don’t have sex, I’m gonna hurl. That is not okay.”

I… I know. “We don’t have to mate. That will ease the mate sickness, but it’s not the only way to calm it.”

Her expression turns to one of surprise. “Wow. I would’ve thought you’d go straight to your dick being magic enough that it’s the only cure. Okay. I’ll bite. What else can I do to get rid of this?”

“A touch should help.”

Billie shoves her free hand toward me.

I clear my throat. “An intimate touch is best.”

Her delicate little face hardens. “I knew it. Let me guess. You shoving your dick in me is the intimate touch you have in mind? Or will you take your time with me fist, using a finger or two to stretch me out?”

I hate hearing the venom in her face, especially since I’ve caused it. “I know you are small. We will fit. I know of other demons with human mates who have no problem pleasuring each other. But I will not claim you until you ask me to?—”

She huffs. “How nice of you.”

I continue imploringly, hoping to convince my mate that she can trust me as I trust her. “We don’t need to mate. Any intimate touch will do… but, if you’ll allow it, I can use my mouth.”

Billie’s ridge-free forehead wrinkles. “Your mouth?” she says suspiciously. “Where?”

“On your cunt. I know, that must seem strange to a mortal, but I assure you… it is done in Sombra. A male is born to pleasure his female with his mouth.”

“Oh. I know. That’s not why I’m shocked, Glaine. I just… wow. I was with Trevor for a year and he never offered to go down on me.”

“Let’s not talk of Trevor,” I rumble. “You are my mate. If you allow it, I will show you exactly why a Sombra demon is better for you than some worthless mortal who was foolish enough to lose you.”

I’m bluffing. I have never pleasured a female with my mouth before, and if she searches my essence, she will see that. Still, it’s instinctive. Once a male gets his female’s taste… he knows what to do.

“Okay, fine. It’s not worth talking about that tool anyway. But you… did you mean it? You like to eat pussy?”

An image of a creature not unlike an ungez flashes through my mind, quickly replaced by that of the juncture between Billie’s legs. Her slinky coverings have shifted once or twice, giving me a peek that I quickly looked away from, but I imagine it is not so very different than the drawings passed around the barracks to young demon males.

“Are you asking me if I would like to taste your cunt?” I dart out my tongue, licking my bottom lip. “I will be honest with you, my Billie. Because it is your cunt, I will say that I love it. But… I have never done it before. I’ve never mated before.”

I couldn’t because I hadn’t yet found my one true mate.

Her eyes widen. “Wow. Okay. Wasn’t expecting that. But, hey, don’t worry.” Reaching down, shimmying her dress up so that I can see her cunt for the first time as the perfume from her arousal fills my nostrils, she smiles encouragingly at me. “I’ll show you what I like.”
