Page 48 of Rising from the Depths

“Kronus,” Eva rasped breathlessly. She moaned and reflexively squeezed her thighs together, but Kronus wrapped his tentacles around her knees and pulled them wider apart, further opening her to him.

He glanced up, looking over her body and through the valley between her breasts to watch her face. Her eyes were closed, and her lips were parted. She panted softly with every stroke of his tongue as it explored her slit. Eva’s sounds and reactions only aroused him more. Nectar flowed from her, and Kronus groaned, savoring every drop.

Her taste was delectable, but he needed more of her, needed tofeelmore of her.

He draped her legs over his shoulders and slid his hands up her back, lifting her off the bed. Most of his tentacles swept forward to support and caress her, encircling her waist and coiling around her breasts. Her back bowed, and she gasped as his suction cups latched on and kissed the hardened buds of her nipples.

Wrapping his arms around her thighs, he sucked her clitoris into his mouth and swirled the tip of his tongue around it.

Her entire body tensed.

“Kronus!” Her hands fell upon his head, and her nails bit into his skin. “Oh fuck!”

She gyrated her hips, grinding her sex against his mouth. A fresh wave of sweetness flowed out of her, washing over him like the tide rushing ashore. She writhed in his hold, and her hands fell to clutch his wrists as though they would better ground her.

He thrust his tongue deep inside her as her inner walls contracted, gifting him with more of her essence, and drank deeply. He lapped, nipped and sucked until she was mindless in his grasp, reduced to pleading and calling his name. He only stopped once her trembling thighs went slack, and she lay quivering and limp in his hold.

As he removed his mouth from her, he licked her nectar from his lips and groaned appreciatively. His cock — fully erect, extruding, and seeping with oils — throbbed achingly.

He lowered Eva to the bed and withdrew his tentacles. Leaning over her, he braced himself with his arms to either side of her head and gazed down. Perspiration coated her rosy skin, hard nipples were reddened from the attention they’d received, and her eyes, dark with lust, were glassy and half-lidded as they met his.

“This will happen often, female,” he said.

Eva chuckled huskily. She raised a hand and trailed her fingers down his chest, her nails grazing his flesh as they moved toward his abdomen. “And what of you?”

Kronus arched a brow. “What of me?”

Eva wrapped her fingers around his cock. He hissed, gritting his teeth, as his hips jerked.

“Would you like my mouth onyou, Kronus?” Eva asked, pumping her hand along his shaft to elicit a shudder from him.

It took Kronus a moment to realize what her words implied; just as he’d never considered using his mouth on her until his talk with the other males, he’d never considered the reverse being a possibility. With a female kraken, it remained an unlikely prospect — unless a male didn’t mind having his cock shredded. But what threat could Eva’s blunt teeth pose to him? He already knew the pleasure she could create with her mouth and tongue from her kisses.

The feel of her hand on him already had Kronus on the verge of a climax. His entire body thrummed, but he fought it back, too intrigued by her question to allow himself to come.

Eva released his cock. Kronus clenched fistfuls of the bedding, nearly snarling at the pleasure-pain left in the absence of her touch.

“Lie back,” she commanded, shoving against his shoulders.

He obeyed; the promise of her touching him again was too enticing a motivation to resist.

Straddling the central pairs of his tentacles, she leaned over him and grabbed his cock. She kept her eyes locked with his as she lowered her head. He watched, captivated, as her lips wrapped around the head of his shaft. She sucked, taking him deep into her mouth. Her tongue slid over his sensitive skin, its texture creating delightful friction.

His eyes widened at the feel of it; it was unexpected, overwhelming, and intensely pleasing. He gritted his teeth, dug his claws into the bed, and bucked his hips involuntarily. She bobbed her head up and down, sliding her lips along his shaft and making maddening circles with her tongue.

“Eva!” Kronus snarled and reached up to take hold of the bed frame before he did any more damage to the bedding.

As easily as he’d plunged her into mindless pleasure, she enslaved him to his own.

With a few flicks of her tongue, Eva became his master.

“Where are you taking me?” Eva asked, watching her footing as she picked her way over the rocks. Briny wind tugged at her clothing and blew her hair around her shoulders. The sound of waves rolling onto the shore grew more soothing as they progressed, becoming a steady, sighing rise and fall.

Kronus remained close to her, holding one of her hands to offer support; he was more solid to her than the stones under foot.

“This way,” he replied.
