He didn’t want to be a masturbatory tool for a selfish Elf who had no idea how her actions might be hurtful to those who had given up hope. He’d given up on the idea of friendship, lust, love, or anything pleasant at all.

Huffing deeply, Merikh pulled back his cock to release it from the lovely press of her thighs, hoping it would go soft now that it was no longer trapped. His tentacles pulled out of her, and she gave a mewl that made him growl in frustration when his cock jerked in excitement.

I need to calm down.He removed his hand from under her dress and placed it against the tree. The other let go of her dress so he couldn’t see her supple, round arse anymore.

Raewyn didn’t turn around, instead choosing to rest her entire upper body against the tree trunk. Her contentment only infuriated him more.

At least he hadn’t killed or harmed her. He needed her to escape this vile world, so something truly positive had come from this.

He still couldn’t believe they’d done this with Demons possibly close by.

However, salvation was on the horizon. Maybe if he stopped touching her, stopped having to be anywhere near her, her pestering arousal and his own would cease. They were too familiar, constantly in each other’s presence.

Once they were in his home, he could finally have some space, some semblance of normalcy.

She ran away from me.

That was something that made his cock soften and caused his orbs to shift to blue – a colour he was used to seeing.

It was to be expected, really, but it just made him unable to truly trust her. They’d made a deal; he would help her get home, and he’d been planning to adhere to that promise. Merikh didn’t often make bargains with others because he had a weird compulsion to submit to them.

Perhaps, in their own way, even verbal contracts were something Duskwalkers were stuck obeying. Their magic was completely built on sacrifices and bargains.

Yet, when given the choice, Raewyn had opted to fuck off into the forest. Not only that, she’d chosen to do so with his sight! She’d attempted to steal from him.

Even if he understood why, it didn’t negate the fact it would have made him vulnerable in a world where he had no one to turn to. He couldn’t turn to anyone for help, for guidance – whereas she could at least turn to a human.

He had no one, even with his glamour.

Merikh likely would have found himself dead within a week’s time, with the way Demons would hunt him. They’d faced eight on their travels since the moment they’d set off together.

Even if Raewyn appeared guileless, with her angel-like appearance and soft personality, she’d shown him today she could be just like every other despicable creature in this world: cruel, selfish, and untrustworthy.

Still in his monstrous form, he wrapped his hand around her throat and turned her enough so he could see her expression.

“How long have you known I can give you my sight?”

She’d only begun travelling with him in the beginning because she’d thought he was human, but what about when he’d revealed what he was? Did she always know and had been waiting for the perfect time to steal it from him? Had this been her intention all along, the reason she was being so obedient with him?

“Only today,”she answered in a small, raspy voice, broken from crying out so much.

It shouldn’t make his skin tighten with a thrill that he’d brought her to this sloppy state.

His orbs flared crimson.“Don’t lie.”

She gave a mewl and a shiver, and he tilted his head in confusion at her reaction.

“I’m not,” she whispered. “B-but I knew you could share your sight with me from the cave.”

“What do you mean?”

She licked at her lips nervously. “You... uh, when we were intimate in the cave, I was able to see everything from your perspective. Y-you didn’t give me your sight like today, just shared your own.”

Merikh’s gaze slipped to the side as he thought.

I had wanted to lend her my sight today.When he’d said it to her earlier, he’d truly meant it.What had I wanted last time?

It hit him.
