“How about the hot pools?” Luna waggled her eyebrows suggestively.

“Thought you’d never ask.” He grinned and, whipping her hand into his tentacle, they ran to her boat moored nearby, leaving a raft of disappointed monsters holding pens and scraps of paper.

When they reached the pools, she tied up on a rock and they slipped off their clothes, laughing, still embracing, and slid into the warm water.

Almost immediately, she felt Kai’s cock stirring against her. Just his human cock this time.

Okay, that was a little disappointing, but frankly she wasn’t sure if she was ready to take his mating arm again just yet. She was still sore in places she’d not known existed.

“Babe, I have to talk to you first, about something that may be hard.”

“Oh yes, and youarehard.” She felt down between them to his cock, gave it a little massage and relished the way his eyelashes fluttered over his dark eyes. “Stop it, you witch,” he groaned.

Reluctantly, she swam to other end of the pool. “Go on then, tell me.”

She was soon mesmerized by his story. Tears sprang to her eyes when he told her about her parents’ writings. “You will see all of their volumes soon, I promise.” Kai said softly. She nodded, swallowing back the emotion. “What happens now? For us?”

“Hana is going to be your donor, like she was for Tom.”

“Oh, my goddess, that is so kind of her.”

“She loves you, Luna.”

“I love her too.” It was true, she really had bonded with Hana, almost like she the big sister she’d never had.

Kai was looking at her solemnly. “There is a lot to be done to change the culture in Thedaka, and if, as Razad seems certain, I am to be the leader, then you must be there with me. I can’t do this without you Luna.”

“I want to be there too.” She swam closer, took one of his tentacles in her hand. “With all my heart and soul. It’s just a lot to take in.”

“There’s no rush. We can transition slowly. My mom suggested, we go between Thedaka and Motham while you are getting used to your gills, and that way you can spend more time in Merinda with Tomas.”

“I guess taking it slowly would be best. I’ll be the first human to live in Thedaka for centuries,” Luna mused, then chuckled. “But then I was the only human working the docks, so nothing new there I guess.”

“Until you’re ready, I can stay with you in your little marsh home.”

“I’d need to get a bigger bed.”

“There’s a nice big bath if I remember rightly.”

Luna smirked. “A bit squeezy for what we might want to get up to.”

“Then we’ll come here to the pools and make love under the stars.” Kai’s grin turned lascivious, and her pussy thrummed remembering the joy of attaining Metan here with him.

“We’ll take it one step at a time,” she said. “And guess what step I want to take now…” She gave him a seductive look from under her lashes. Kai was at her side in seconds.

Gently, Luna took one of his damaged tentacles and kissed her way down every single one of those scars. “I love you, every part of you, whichever form you take, kraken, human, both.”

Wow, how wonderful it felt to be able to say that with no fear, no holding back.

“And I love you, my little marsh human. My beloved warrior. Always and forever.”

“Guess it could be time for some combat now?” Luna waggled suggestive eyebrows.

“I surrender,” Kai laughed, and lying back in the warm water, he pulled her on top of him…
