He was monstrous. And he was beautiful. And beneath both was a man she would be happy to call her own.
That realization hit her so suddenly it was like a punch to the gut. He couldn’t stay here. She knew that. They would never let him. He could be free at the next port, but then where would he go? He would be lost. Unless the alliance decided to help him, but there was no guarantee.
You could stay with him.
That little thought scared her for some reason. It was true that at the next port they could find a way to sneak off and leave Nexacor behind. But where would they go? She had a little saved up to maybe find a tradeship out somewhere. But the vrisha were scarce and many people were still very afraid of them. A vrisha like Kryxis was one of a kind and would scare everyone even more. She couldn’t predict how others would act. She might not be able to protect him.
Nexacor was all she knew. All she ever wanted was to be worthy of the blue suit. But that dream felt far away now. Because, despite her fears and her dreams, the idea of being separated from him seemed unthinkable.
She took his face in both her hands. “I will keep you safe, you understand? I will do whatever I have to.”
His gaze searched hers. “As will I,” he vowed.
She smiled sadly. “I know.”
Leaning in, she pressed her lips against his mouth, and he responded by wrapping his arms around her, pulling her into a firm embrace.
He pulled back and pressed his forehead to hers, his talons pricking through her shirt. “Xe asta limara intas virak, xia Vasalla,” he purred. He took her hand and pressed it to his hearts. She felt the heavy thumping against her palm, his skin warm to the touch. He directed her hand downward, feeling hishard stomach, then lower still, down between his thighs where she could feel the two heavy shafts.
“Need to eat more,” she said softly, yet unwilling to pull her hand away.
“Niset, hungry for you.”
She let her fingers brush along him and felt him harden under her hand, a low hiss escaping him. “Dani.”
She shifted, encircling her hands around his cocks, watching his reaction as she stroked and kneaded him. She was feeling that hunger too, beginning to claw at her, remembering how good he felt inside her. He tensed under her, his talons gripping her shirt, tearing it, but she didn’t mind, not at all. Leaning her head toward his throat, she flicked her tongue out and tasted him. “I really can’t say no to you, can I?” she whispered. Then she drew her mouth to him and bit down.
Kryxis groaned, cocks jerking in her hands. She felt her shirt tear in his fist. His other hand came up swiftly and took a fistful of her hair, breaking her hold and tilting her head up to him.
“Firas, Dani,” he hissed, eyes glowing like hellfire as he glared down at her. “I want you to take both…and cry out for me.”
Her breath caught at the intensity at his words, a flash of heat rippling down her body. “Okay,” she said without hesitation.
He hauled her up with him and started to carry her to the bedroom.
“Wait!” she pointed to the package on the counter, and he allowed her to grab it. In a few strides, he took her into the bedroom and set her on the bed. Swiftly, she removed her now tattered shirt and let it drop to the floor. She started to take off her pants as Kryxis moved on top of her, while his blue hands helped tug her pants off. He brought his head down and rubbed his face between her breasts then down her stomach until he wascrouched between her thighs and tasting her, making her arch her back as a moan tore up her throat.
As she spread her legs more for him, rolling her hips, she reached for the package and hurriedly ripped it open, taking out a little green vial and a needlegun. Hands shaking, she snapped the vial in place, a cry rising in her throat as his tongues curled and twisted along her. She pressed the needlegun to her thigh and shot the liquid into her system, hissing from the pinch of pain. Soon the drug would take effect, and she wouldn’t be so worried about how exactly she was going to take both of his cocks without it being too unbearable. She tossed the gun then gripped the covers, enjoying how he played with her while waiting for her body to be ready. She could already feel how wet she was as he pulled the heat from her, making her writhe and squirm under him.
“That’s good,” she breathed, bucking against him. A different sort of heat started to spread along her legs and in her center, her muscles relaxing, her body throbbing. A small orgasm hit her, making a chill run across her spine and she knew she was ready.
“Kryxis,” she moaned, tugging at his horn.
He understood well enough. He unlatched from her and pushed himself up, mounting on top of her. He bent her legs up just like the last time and, grabbing hold of his cocks, pressed them together, pushing them into her center.
Even with the drug lessening some of the pain, she could still feel herself being stretched as he slid into her inch by so slow inch, making her heart pound, little cries slipping through her teeth. Yes, even with the lessening pain, she could feel how full he made her, so full she could even see the slightest rise in her lower belly.
She cursed at the sight. Kryxis bucked his hips a little to push the last of him in, sliding all the way till he couldn’t anymore. Ashudder ran through her as he stilled, giving her a moment to adjust.
“It’s all right, Dani,” he said, one hand stroking her head. “All right.”
She nodded even as she shivered. Taking a few slow breaths, she gripped the sides of his red arms, nails digging into his skin.
Kryxis moved slow at first, real slow, until it was certain he wouldn’t tear her apart. His red shaft stroked against a sensitive spot while the ridges of his blue could be felt along her inner walls. She choked down a whimper as he thrusted several times, his head tilting back, eyes no more than red slits, teeth slightly bared as he lost himself in his own pleasure. His tail curled upward as he nearly crouched above her to deepen his thrusts.
Dani eyes drifted down between them and she flushed at the sight. She was practically curled underneath his giant body as he took her, his thrusts growing more urgent, almost too much for her to stand.
She gritted her teeth at the coiling, rising heat between them, sweat breaking out between her breasts and the nape of her neck. As he hit that sensitive spot, she knew she was a goner.
