I shrug. I can accept the fact that no matter what Ari lied about, his actions are the reason we are all together in the first place. His manipulations hurt, but I wouldn’t sacrifice what I’ve gained for anything. “But then, none of us would be here.”

I squeeze his hand and release both of my mates, my smile wicked in anticipation. “And don’t get distracted. Jasper has a surprise for you.”

Jasper looks shy for a moment as he steps out of the loose shorts he wears. Ari’s smile is smug and he opens his mouth, no doubt to say something salacious when the air shimmers and Jasper’s form changes. Blue-green iridescent scales cover his lower body and forearms and his legs become a thick tail. I didn’t get to really see him the first time this happened and in the dawn light, he’s gorgeous. Emeralds and indigos that shift into the lightest sky blue before flashing dark. The feathers down his spine are a contrasting crimson.

Ari’s expression is as valuable a sight as Jasper’s second form. Awe has his mouth hanging open before he snaps it shut.

He looks like he’s going to cry. “Jasper, look at you.”

Jasper smiles at him, smug. “Do you like it?”

Annoyance flashes over Ari’s face. “Of course I like it, you ridiculous man. Look at you!”

Ari circles around Jasper, running his hand over Jasper’s chest, his hip, over the indent of his spine. “You are absolutely stunning.”

He kisses Jasper’s neck, his hand traveling around to press against the bifurcation of scales that hide his cock. “Fuck, I can already feel how hot you are for this.”

I swallow and hoist myself up on the desk along the wall. I can watch without getting involved. I squeeze my thighs together so my body gets the message. I’m only watching… until it’s my turn.

ARI

“Areyou going to leave me hanging?” Jasper asks, as breathless as I am.

I swallow. The colors of his scales are stunning. He’s beautiful whether he’s in a human form or basilisk, but him in his power appeals to something primal at the pit of my belly.

I strip my clothes off quickly, the shift coming quicker in the face of Jasper’s and once I’m fully in my second skin, I strike, pulling him in my arms. Emilia gasps where she is sitting on the desk watching and the joy in my heart is unparalleled. She marks the air with the scent of her arousal, and I want to bathe in it, but first, I need my viper.

Jasper doesn’t flinch away when I kiss him. He returns the vicious hunger and amplifies it. For the first time ever, our tails coil around each other. The rasp of the scales together makes me shiver. The sensations race over my skin and down my back. I press our fronts together.

I can take him like this. Kiss him hard and enter his body how I usually do, even when he’s in this different shape. But there’s an intimacy we haven’t shared before. I press my hand against his slit. His cock hasn’t extruded through it yet.

“I want you to take me here,” I say, letting my fingers slide into his warmth and he shivers at the new sensation. “But we have to be careful and go slow. The tissues are delicate.”

This won’t be a power struggle. This is a surrender of my body to his and I can’t wait for it.

Jasper’s brows pull together even as his cheeks flush. “You’d trust me with that?”

“Of course,” I whisper. “I’ll keep from extruding.”

Slit fucking is something only the most intimate of partners participate in. Jasper has probably heard whispers about the practice, I’ve seen it a time or two, but have never felt deeply enough for someone to want it done to me.

His cock slides along my hand, extruding from him without his say. While I have control of my own member, Jasper is inexperienced in this form. Though I suspect he’ll want me to do the same to him when he feels what it’s like.

“I want to feel you inside me,” I say.

My hand is wet, and I smear it up my front, forcing myself not to release my cock as I slide fingers into my own slit.

Jasper makes a sound of arousal that makes my body jerk. Every reaction is harsher while I keep my cock from sliding free.

Jasper furrows his brow in concentration, and the tapered end of his cock curls up. It slides against my engorged opening, and I moan. He presses closer and slides the tiniest bit inside me. I shiver and Jasper’s grip on my hip and shoulder borders on painful.

“Fuck, you’re so warm here. So wet,” he pants. “Need to go slow.”

“That’s it, my viper. Enter me.”

Emilia sounds like she’s stopped breathing. I’m about to smile at her, but Jasper slides in farther and I grunt. The sensation and stretch are like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. The space available to him is small and tight.
