Clawed hands slid my skirts up around my hips, running over my thighs, until his hands reached the apex. His first and middle fingers slipped between my lips, parting me, swirling over the sensitive pearl and making every muscle jump.

“Gods, you’re soaked for me, my beauty.” He pulled my hair aside, running his fingers over it… then twisted the mass into a rope around his head, gently pulling my head to the side.

His lips touched my neck, a Bane-kiss over the pinkened skin he’d fed from, sending sizzling heat through me. I was aware of every inch of skin, everywhere he touched, my nipples hardened, clit aching for more.

Bane’s breath was warm, his voice deep and rough in my ear. “Now take the beast you crave.”

I shivered, my back arched, and suddenly the whole world moved.

But it was just us, Bane picking me up and bringing me to the ground. He grabbed my discarded cloak, flinging it over the leaves on the ground, and I put out my arms, catching myself on all fours.

He kept a grip on my hips, holding them firmly as he seated his cock to the base, and then pulled out and thrust back in with shocking force.

Two more thrusts, my body quaking, and the flared barbs and ridges brought that liquid feeling to the forefront. Even braced on the ground, my knees trembled, and my upper bodysank to the ground, muscles weak. I pressed my face to the wind-chilled cloak, sucking in air, gasping out my pleasure for him.

Bane leaned over me, tongue sliding over my lips. I opened for him, arching myself into thrusts, breasts swaying heavily with every drive. His warmth covered me, the pulsing urgency of his cock sending me closer to the edge.

I was distantly aware that not that long ago, this could’ve killed me. I felt the thickness of him spearing deep, my lower belly bulging outwards every so slightly as my changes accommodated his size, turning what would’ve been mutilation into pleasure.

On my hands and knees for him, taking the strength of a fiend on my back and in my sex, I felt I’d made the right choice. The only choice.

He braced one hand above my head, the other slipping over my hip to stroke my stomach, down to my needy, exposed clit.

I gasped as he touched me, his hips never stopping in their brutal, relentless assault. We fucked like animals, gasping, growling, the heat in my center growing every time his hips pounded against me.

Bane’s cock throbbed again, sending another flare through the barbs, and they dragged over the spot that made my knees jelly. As his fingers circled my clit again, slow and teasing, I didn’t just slip to the edge—I plunged fully over.

Eyes squeezed tightly shut, giving myself up entirely to the wants of a beast, craving his hard, primal needs, I came apart on him, shuddering and squirming, losing all control of my body. My breaths huffed in tight, desperate gasps, steam curling from my lips in the cold I no longer felt.

Bane grunted as my pussy clamped tightly around him, driving deeper, his weight pressing my bucking hips into the earth. My core was soaked, letting his cock glide with ease,deeper—until the grunt became a snarl, his teeth scraping over my shoulder.

I heard a click as his fangs clamped together, his cock driving deep enough to cause a twinge, and then he let himself go. There was a hot flood, a rush of warmth and wetness as his seed filled me, almost a physical heaviness in my womb.

He panted for breath, the barbs keeping him locked deep, as my muscles slowly relaxed.

“Cirri. Lover,” he murmured, ruffling my hair.

It didn’t hurt at all, I signed lazily, shifting against him. Most of me was warm beneath him, but my toes were cold. A fair price to pay for this pleasure.And yes, I did ask her to make a few changes. She did such a masterpiece with my hands, I supposed… this wouldn’t be too much different. Enough to level the playing field between our kinds.

Bane said nothing for a moment that stretched on a little too long, and I twisted my head to look at him from the corner of my eye.Are you upset?

He nuzzled my temple and cheekbone, and then shifted most of his weight to the side, settling so his cock remained flared and locked inside me, but his weight didn’t crush my torso.

From there he stared into my eyes, reading my worries.

“No. I could’ve been patient, but… no. I’d rather you decide what your body needs, than to risk being damaged in an attempt. The only problem is…”

Yes?I felt my muscles trying to tense. Did he dislike the feel of me, now that I could take him all? Was the potential breaking of a human more appealing?

And then I told myself not to be stupid. I was beyond those concerns now. I fully trusted that he loved me as I was, even with some adjustments.

“You’ll have created a monster.” His fangs flashed in a quick grin. “How am I supposed to focus on anything else, knowing we can rut as much as we please?”

Oh, no, that’s terrible. I would never want such a thing. Having mind-shattering orgasms every day will probably ruin my life.

I pouted my lip out at him, and he did a tiny lunge to nip at me, fangs clicking.

“Smart mouth,” he whispered, and then gently twisted my face to him, kissing me gently, fangs and all. “We did it right.”
