Juno let out a rough sigh. “It’s not that easy, Rask.”

“It seems very simple to me. You are here now. You stay here. Then happiness comes.”

Her mouth was still turned down at the corners, but there was a sparkle in her eyes that made me purr for her.

It just made my cock throb even more, and my hips bucked once involuntarily as I thought of the taste of her on my tongue.

She was too small to push into. I would need theKleeprince to come and work her size for me, using his slick to stretch her out before her body could accept my cock without pain.

But Juno felt the movement and sucked in a breath. Her nails dug into my shoulders, the tiny pain sending a thrill down my spine, and I drew her closer.

I could send for theKleeprince now. We were both destined to find our mate before the comet’s arrival, and she had accepted both of us.

Her legs wrapped around my waist, and she gave a little wriggle that made me groan.

Until I felt the crackle of energy coming from the shore, the sight of the swirling souls overhead blotted out by a thundercloud.

But this was no storm.

It was the guardian-in-waiting. TheV’uthli, the Elder One…

Who had yet to claim his own mate before the comet arrived.

Chapter15

Juno

My breathing had been shallow a moment ago from the sensation of Rask’s enormous cock nudging against me, my blood already racing, but the sight of the storm descending on the island froze my lungs again.

I knew from the sight that this was no Voidstorm; it was Voraal in his true form, now revealed to me by the light of the spiraling stars.

Charcoal gray skin glimmered as he took form, emerging from the cloud of shadows. The regal horns curving back over his head gleamed like obsidian, as did the claws on his fingers and on his toes.

I thought I understood a little, maybe, about why he had not fully appeared to me in the library. His muscular thighs became knees that curved backwards, his legs jointed differently than a human’s.

But those intense, fiery eyes were focused on us as Rask carried me from the water, bringing us to the shore.

“Voraal,” I whispered. My voice couldn’t come out any louder. He was so tall, towering nearly twelve feet high.

I had waited, but he hadn’t reappeared to me since our last meeting. I’d thought that my first instincts were correct, and I’d misinterpreted his curiosity.

But Voraal swept that midnight gaze over my nude form, the heavy cock between his legs growing as he looked.

It would’ve been embarrassing to clench my thighs together, although the heat growing between them was becoming unbearable.

What had happened to me? I used to be perfectly happy to kick a guy out once I’d worked my ass off to achieve an orgasm, that rare, blissful thing.

Now I’d come twice for these monsters, harder than I ever had in my life, and it somehowstillwasn’t enough.

Even having Rask delicately wash me had been some sort of small heaven. I’d never had a guy take the time to clean me like that, like I was something precious to him.

“Guardian,” Rask said respectfully.

Voraal nodded to him, and then I saw the markings all over his deep gray skin. They were like spiky runes, alien in form, glowing with pale inner light all over his body.

“You have achieved your task,Mlul’dra. The Lady will be pleased.” He stepped forward, his clawed feet leaving a triad of marks behind in the dark sand. “I would have come for you sooner, but the Voidstorm prevented me from crossing.”

My mouth dried as I took in what he’d said. “The Lady of Dark Waters?”
