There wasn’t much else within reach. Pinks swallowed, staring at the hard line in Galent’s pants. His hole squeezed with anticipation.

Feeling like a bit of a pervert, Pinks covered Galent’s rock-hard bulge with his hand, moaning at the sheer size of it. He slid his hand up and down, making sure to squeeze Galent’s blunt tip. Then his balls. He stroked Galent’s length for much longer than necessary, his cock throbbing between his legs.

But still the man remained a statue.

“You’re no fun like that,” Pinks muttered, patting around Galent’s hips to grab his ass.

Surely... Galent didn’t need a kiss. Like The Frog Prince?

This wasn’t a fairytale. Worse, they weren’t anywhere ready to kiss; they’d only known each other for half a day.

But Pinks needed an orgasm, and it wasn’t like Galent would know he’d been kissed.

“This doesn’t mean I’m going to be your mate, or anything like that,” Pinks said, flushing.

Just that the idea of a mate calmed him. Deep down, Pinks secretly wanted someone big and strong he could hide in, so he wasn’t the only one responsible for Zarrie. So he wasn’t the only one making all the scary decisions.

He carefully pressed his lips to Galent’s forehead. When nothing changed, he decided he would do this the right way, and repeated the kiss firmly.

Still a statue.

Pinks kissed down Galent’s nose, then kissed both his cheeks. He even kissed Galent’s chin, ever so aware of how close their mouths were.

“You’re making this a lot more romantic than it has any right to be,” Pinks grumbled. But his heart thumped as he cradled Galent’s face in his hands, staring at Galent’s parted lips.

Despite all of his experience, he’d neverintentionallykissed someone on the lips before.

Pinks closed his eyes and slowly, carefully brought their mouths together, bumping into Galent’s smooth upper lip. He kissed it awkwardly. Then he tilted his face down and bumped into Galent’s lower lip, kissing it too.

What if Galent wasn’t turning back because Pinks was only kissing half his mouth at any given moment? Did he have to kissbothof Galent’s lips at the same time?

With his eyes still shut, Pinks parted his lips to match them against Galent’s open ones, feeling like a goldfish.

“I didn’t know that awkward kissing was your kink,” Galent said.

Pinks yelled and shoved himself backward, his heart lodging in his throat. “What the hell! Did it—Did it work?”

“No,” Galent said dryly. “I woke up right before you did my upper lip. I was still frozen when you kissed my lower lip, but I saw how hard you were trying.”

Pinks flushed and dragged the pillow over his face. “Oh,gods.I did all that fornothing?”

“I wouldn’t call that nothing,” Galent murmured. He pressed his face against Pinks’ chest and nuzzled him through his shirt. “I enjoyed watching you kiss me. You looked so... torn.”

He dropped kisses along Pinks’ chest, to his shirt collar. The giant had all but trapped Pinks beneath his large body, his damp breath puffing against the hollow of Pinks’ throat.

It didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.

Galent slid his hand under Pinks’ shirt and sniffed up his neck, brushing his lips over Pinks’ pulse point. Pinks held his breath; it was one of his most vulnerable spots.

Galent smiled against his neck. And he closed his mouth over Pinks’ pulse, sucking it with slow, long pulls that made Pinks’ hips buck up, his entire body coming alive.

“That’s it,” Galent growled, his teeth grazing Pinks’ throat in a way that made his fingers dig into the pillows. “I want to see you desperate for me. Desperate to take me inside you. I want your pretty hole wrapped around my tongue, my fingers, my cock. Open for me, ready to take my cum.”

Pinks moaned. And suddenly the tongue on his neck wasn’t small or human. It was big, thick, tapered like a dragon’s, and it curled hot under his jaw. Slick trickled out of his hole.

“You like my tongue,” Galent purred, his words slurred. “It’ll fit so good inside your hole. Stretch you wider than my fingers, make you come so many times.”

Pinks’ legs opened without him thinking; Galent grasped his knees and spread them wide. Keeping Pinks’ sensitive parts open to him.
