He pulled back just enough to meet her gaze, his golden eyes dark with hunger.“Islae.”Her name on his lips sounded like a vow and a promise.

She didn’t hesitate this time.Her hands slid up his shoulders, feeling the strength in his muscles as she pulled herself closer.Their lips met again, this time with a desperation that left her dizzy.His tail shifted, sliding up her leg in a slow, deliberate motion that made her shiver.His hands explored her body with a possessive urgency, as if he needed to memorize every curve and every inch of her.

“You’re mine,” he growled against her lips, his voice rough with raw emotion.“Mine to protect.Mine to care for.”

The words sent a thrill through her, a heat that pooled low in her stomach.She’d spent so long pushing everyone away that his claim felt both foreign and achingly right.

“I’m yours,” she whispered back, her fingers trailing down his chest again.She didn’t think, didn’t second-guess.She just let herself feel.

His lips left hers, trailing down her neck in a series of kisses that made her gasp.His tongue soon circled against her skin, sending jolts of pleasure through her body.His hands were everywhere, touching and claiming, igniting a fire she couldn’t control.

“Nirrn,” she moaned, arching into him.

“Tell me what you need,” he murmured, his breath hot against her ear.

“You.”The word came out as a plea, one she didn’t try to hold back.“Just you.”

His response was immediate.His tail shifted, lifting her effortlessly until she was straddling him, her legs resting on the smooth, powerful coils beneath her.His hands grabbed her hips as his mouth found hers again.

The kiss was relentless, all-consuming, a silent communication of everything they couldn’t put into words.Her fingers tangled in his dark hair, pulling him closer as the heat between them reached a boiling point.

His tail shifted again beneath her.The smooth, powerful coils flexed as he gently rolled them over.Islae’s breath caught as her back pressed into the cot, Nirrn looming over her, his golden eyes burning with intensity.His hands braced on either side of her head, his broad shoulders blocking out the dim light of their small room.She could feel the heat radiating off his body.

“I’ll be gentle,” he murmured, his voice low and gravelly, his gaze flicking to her ribs.

She nodded, her heart pounding as his hands moved to the hem of her shirt.His touch was deliberate, reverent even, as he slowly peeled the fabric away, revealing her bare skin.His eyes darkened as he took her in, his tail curling tighter around the cot, as if to anchor himself.She shivered under his gaze, her nipples hardening as the cool air brushed against them.

“Nirrn,” she whispered, her voice trembling with anticipation.

He didn’t respond with words.Instead, he lowered his head, his warm breath ghosting over her skin before his lips closed around one nipple.She gasped, her back arching off the cot as he licked and suckled, his tongue flicking over the sensitive bud.His hand trailed down her abdomen.His fingers soon slipped under her pants and between her thighs, exploring her folds.

“You’re so wet,” he growled against her skin, his voice thick with need.

She moaned, her hand grabbing his hair as his touch sent sparks shooting through her.His fingers moved with precision, stroking and teasing until she was writhing beneath him.Every nerve in her body was alight, every touch igniting a fire she couldn’t resist.

When he finally pulled away, she whimpered at the loss of his touch.But before she could protest, his hands moved to the waistband of her pants, sliding them down her legs and tossing them aside.He leaned back, his eyes raking over her naked form, his expression a mix of desire and possessiveness.

“Simply beautiful,” he murmured, the words a low rumble in his chest.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn’t look away.She watched as he reached for the garment covering his dual members, his hands steady despite the hunger in his eyes.When he freed himself, she couldn’t help but stare.Her breath hitched at the sight of his members, thick and throbbing, ready for her.

“Relax,” he said, his voice a soothing balm as he positioned himself between her thighs.His hands grabbed her hips, his touch firm but gentle, as he guided himself to her entrance.“I’ll go slow.”

She nodded, her heart pounding as he pressed forward, the tip of his primary member barely breaching her.She gasped, her fingers digging into his shoulders as he stretched her, filling her inch by excruciating inch.He moved with deliberate slowness, his eyes locked on hers, watching for any sign of discomfort.

“Are you okay?”he asked, his voice strained.

“Yes,” she breathed, her hips lifting to meet him.“More.”

He didn’t need to be told twice.He pushed himself deeper, his movement steady but unrelenting, his tail coiling tighter around her as he buried himself inside her.Islae moaned, her legs wrapping around him as he filled her completely, the sensation overwhelming and perfect.

“Mine,” he growled, his voice rough with need as he started to move, his thrusts slow and deep.

“Yes,” she gasped, her nails raking down his back as pleasure coiled in her belly.“All yours.”

Her words seemed to ignite something primal in him.His pace quickened, his thrusts growing harder and deeper, his tail tightening around her as he drove into her with a desperate urgency.She cried out, her back arching as he hit a spot inside her that made stars burst behind her eyelids.

“Again,” he demanded, his voice a low growl.“Say it.”
