CHAPTER 31
Luna and Kai lay on the rock trying to catch their breath and staring at the stars.
“What just happened?” She turned on her side to see he was no longer in full kraken form. But even though he was in half shift, the blue glow still emanated from his skin. He reached out and touched her with a tentacle, his eyes shining. She shifted onto an elbow and stared down at his groin. Damn. His mating arm had disappeared, but his human cock was still inviting and delicious.
But, wow! What had just taken place between them… that was next level.
Even now her pussy spasmed with the aftershocks of how he’d stroked inside her, pulsing those suckers perfectly on her G-spot as he pounded into her. How amazed she’d been that her human body had been able to take that thick mating arm. That she’d accommodated Kai with barely any discomfort, thanks to the lubrication that flowed out of his suckers and the orgasms—almost too many to count—that he’d given her before he entered her.
He’d sure found places she’d never thought could be stimulated, had brought her pleasure she’d not thought humanlypossible. It certainly hadnotbeen administered by a human. Her body would be sore tomorrow—she’d be walking back to Motham like she’d been on horseback for days. Luna snorted a giggle at the image.
Kai gazed at her out of soft, orgasm-drunk eyes. “What are you laughing about?”
“I just… I never, ever,evercould have imagined sex like that.”
“Luna, do you realize how important that was?”
“I think I get that. Because whatever happened Kai, it was the most amazing experience of my life.”
“I have attained Metan with you.”
Luna gazed down at his beautiful face, still deep blue from their coupling.
“What does that mean,exactly?”
“That you are my mate. That I am committed to you until the day I die. That you are the one I will sire younglings with. I’ve known it from the moment I set eyes on you, but now we’ve proven it.”
She stared at him, speechless.
Suddenly Kai’s features darkened. “Fuck it Luna, get over this intimacy block and tell me you feel the same.” Oh boy, her guy was angry, and she fuckinglovedit.
“I do, I do. Oh Kai, I feel the same. I want you to be my mate. But how do we even begin to make this work?” The enormity of it nearly took her breath away. The whole breathing thing, and bearing Kai younglings? It was mind-boggling.
Kai sat up, rumpling his hair with his hands and looking a tad wild eyed. “I guess I will have to live on land with you. There is no other choice. You can’t live with a diving mask your whole life, you’d go crazy. And I… I’ll adapt. I mean, I may not be able to use my tentacles as much, they’ll weaken, but hey, two of them don’t work that well anyway, so shit, who cares? I’ve heardof krakens going onto land, renouncing kraken ways to be with someone they loved. I mean, not often, but… I can’t be without you, not now…”
She put a finger to his lips, silencing him. “Kai. Stop. I won’t allow you to shrivel and become less of who you are because of me. My boring life here, it would kill you.”
He glared at her. “I swear if you turn me down, I will stalk you, and that is so against my beliefs, but as the gods are my witness, I will, Luna.”
“Stalk me!” She widened her eyes in mock outrage, but her pussy clenched. Ooh, how she loved this mad, bad possessive kraken. She dragged his face to hers and kissed his beautiful features. “It’s okay, it won’t come to that. I think there’s another option. I’ve been trying to pluck up the courage to tell you since we left Merinda. When I was swimming with Tom, he showed me… he hasgills, Kai. Behind his ears. He can stay under water as long as he likes.”
Kai pulled away, blinking. “Seriously?”
“Yes.”
“Did he tell you how he got them?”
“He didn’t know. And I was too chicken to ask Brooke.”
“Why?”
“In case you didn’t want me… when it came to the crunch.”
“From the moment I met you, you’ve been the only one I wanted.”
“Me too.” She smirked a little. “Except I fought it.”
Kai rolled his eyes. “You fight everything, babe.”
