She did so with a faint whine, and I used my hands to push her ankles up, flattening her feet against the mattress.

“Look at you,” I murmured, my gaze transfixed. “That pussy knows who it belongs to.”

Iris made a muffled sound of agreement, wriggling down the bed, trying to get that aching, needy pussy a little closer to my face. I tutted at her impatience, using my hands like shackles on her ankles to hold her in place.

“Are you rushing me, princess?”

I hadn’t meant to call her that. But I wasn’t mad that I had.

“Yes,” Iris complained. “Because you’re taking so long.”

“So greedy,” I sighed in mock disappointment before kissing the inside of her knee so she’d know I wasn’t serious. There wasn’t a single thing on this earth Iris could do that would disappoint me. She owned me, body and soul.

My tentacles swirled around her nipples, tightening and releasing, and I formed a third one, letting that one brush between her thighs.

“Oh!” Iris startled before flopping back onto the mattress with a moan as I toyed with her clit. “You can make more?”

“As many as I like.” Especially with her desire already feeding me, making it easy to wield my shadows. The power I got from her was like nothing I’d ever experienced before. “You’re going to come for me like this first,” I instructed, sending more power to the thin strand of shadow stimulating her clit, making it moresolid. “If you want a tentacle in your pussy, you’re going to have to earn it, princess.”

She made a garbled response, already grinding down on my shadows as best she could with my hands pinning her ankles in place and another set of shadow limbs ruthlessly toying with her nipples.

Go slowly,I reminded myself.Don’t get carried away.

Iris would look beautiful with my shadows crisscrossing her torso, pouring down her throat, collaring her neck…

Slowly.

Perhaps, someday, she would allow me that privilege. I couldn’t bear the thought of it belonging to anyone else.

“Damen!” she gasped, digging her heels into the mattress as she came with a beautiful cry, writhing to get closer and farther away all at once. I was trying to be a more productive citizen, I really was, but the idea of spending every moment of my day in bed with Iris had a lot of appeal.

Bringing her pleasure sounded plenty productive to me.

“That’s it, princess. Aren’t you good? Are you going to spread those legs a little wider for me or do I have to make you?”

She paused for a moment, breathing heavily. “Make me.”

My cock wept with precum, forming a wet patch on the bed beneath me. I wanted every drop of my cum inside Iris, but I managed to retain just enough of a hold on my sense to remember that I couldn’t fuck her.

Two more tentacles appeared, wrapping around Iris’s thighs just above her knees and pushing her legs further apart. I let myself indulge in one quick taste, moving up the bed to slowly swipe my tongue through her flowing arousal, stopping at her clit and toying with it roughly with my tongue.

“Damen,” Iris whined. “You said you’d fuck me if I came.”

Whenever I thought I had the upper hand, she’d go and say something like that and I was lost. Had I ever heard Iris sayfuckbefore? How was I meant to seem cool, calm, and collected now?

I couldn’t even formulate the words to respond. I moved back so one tentacle could keep circling her clit, then sent another, thicker one to tease her slick entrance.

“Is this what you want?” I rasped.

“Yes.Yes. Please.”

“Well, then. Let’s see how well you take me.”

Iris exhaled shakily as I pressed forward, taking my time and letting her body get used to me. Unfortunately, there was no sensation in my shadow limbs—I couldn’tfeelher cunt tightening around me. But it was certainly nice to see it, and to hear the exquisite sounds that Iris was making.

I paused for a moment. “How does that feel, princess?”

“Good,” she whispered, arching her back and lifting her hips. “Different. I like it. Can you go in a little more?”
