“Toni, oh my god, oh my god.” Jude’s hands scrabbled over his back, gripping his spinal fin for purchase, and Toni growled.

“That’s right. Come on, baby. Come on.” He ground their foreheads together as Jude’s face pinched in pleasure. “Give it all, Jude. I can take it. I’ll keep it safe. I got you, baby. Give me everything.”

And with a soft cry that was almost a sob, Jude did. He came beneath him, channel spasming around Toni’s cocks as he trembled, and Toni pushed deep, dicks flexing as he emptied himself into the condoms. The pleasure was intense and overwhelming, like an undertow sucking him down until he didn’t know which way was up.

But Jude’s touch grounded him, hands moving over his sweaty shoulders, up into his hair. Toni moaned against Jude’s cheek as he shuddered, hips jerking in shallow thrusts, prolonging his pleasure until it was nothing but aftershocks zipping down his spine. Then he collapsed on top of his human, nearly crushing him.

Jude hummed in satisfaction, crossing his feet over Toni’s ass as he buried his face in Toni’s shoulder. “Well done, pretty boy.”

“Pretty boy did good,” Toni slurred smugly, and Jude shook with humor beneath him.

“Hopefully, we didn’t wake anyone up. You were growling really loud at the end.”

“Sorry not sorry.” Toni scraped his teeth over the nape of Jude’s neck, making his human shiver. “I just want to eat you up.”

Nudging Toni’s temple with his cheek, Jude silently requested a kiss, and who was Toni to deny him anything? They kissed languidly, like they had all the time in the world to indulge, and when they parted, Jude traced Toni’s lips with his finger.

Toni captured it and bit down enough to sting but not break skin, making Jude snicker. “Does a part of you actually want to eat me, or is it a figure of speech?”

For a moment, Toni thought about that instinctual, primal part of him that wanted to split Jude’s skin to see what lay beneath, that wanted to taste his blood for no other reason than because he could. “Would it scare you if I said yes?”

Jude’s brows rose in surprise, even as he shook his head. “I know you won’t.”

“I ain’t ever gonna hurt you,” Toni said, meaning every word.

And deities, how Jude smiled up at him. He pressed his fingertip to Toni’s teeth and pushed down, gasping when his skin parted, blood oozing out. A vicious sound scraped Toni’s throat as Jude painted his tongue with the blood.

“Do I taste good?” Jude asked.

Both ashamed and ravenous for more, Toni nodded. “Yes, but I don’t like hurting you like that.” He sucked Jude’s finger clean, then kissed it. “You’re safe with me.”

And Jude said, “I know.”

Chapter twenty-five

Tad’s Creepy and Weird Vibe

Before Toni softened andmade a complete mess of them both, he carefully pulled out and removed the condoms, tying them off and tossing them to the floor haphazardly. Then he snuggled back into Jude’s body, loving the slide of bare skin and the way they fit together.

Now that the passion had passed, the chill of the morning crept over them, and Jude shivered. “We should get dressed. The others will be up soon.”

“We got time. No one’s awake yet.”

“I’m awake,” a nasally voice said from the hayloft ladder, and both Toni and Jude screamed.

Covering Jude’s naked body with his own, Toni glared at the Anura who stood casually on the ladder, chin propped in her hands as she watched them with bulbous eyes. “Tad! What the fuck? How long have you been there?”

Tad shrugged. “Dunno. There was talking, then there was moaning. You’re done with that, right?” She scowled, mostly at Jude. “You’re scaring away the barn mice.”

“Oh my god.” Jude curled tighter into Toni’s body to hide, and Toni shifted them until he was the only one Tad could see.

“Get outta here, Tad! You can’t just watch people fuck; that’s creepy and weird,” Toni barked, and Tad blinked at him reproachfully.

“But I am creepy and weird,” she said simply. “That’s, like, my whole vibe.” One of her eyes dropped to Toni’s hips. “Nice dicks, by the way.”

Jude crowded against Toni’s back, reaching a hand over his waist to cover his cocks. “Don’t look at his dicks!”

The possessiveness did things to Toni, and he grinned down at his human. “Aw, you don’t want anyone looking at my dicks. That’s nice.”
