Hunger spiked, making him wish, not for the first time, that he could be a normal human with the regular sort of appetite, and not a demon with needs he couldn’t control.
Daka broke away from the kiss. He had to be sure. “Mahu…”
“What is it? Tell me.” Mahu held him in place, not letting him look away.
Daka stared into his jewel-like garnet eyes, his own still watery with unshed tears, and admitted it. “May I feed from you?”
“You may,” said Mahu, his pupils dilated, dark and gleaming.
Daka froze in his lap, hands on his strong shoulders, mouth open. “Really?”
“Yes.” Mahu caught a tear with his thumb as it rolled down Daka’s cheek. “How could I say no to you?”
Daka slid closer, pressing their groins together, his shaft already hard against Mahu’s. He locked his ankles behind Mahu’s ass.
“I don’t deserve you.”
“I think you do.” Mahu slid his hands beneath Daka’s tunic, caressing his thighs and bunching the fabric at his waist. “I think we both deserve to have this.”
Daka couldn’t get out of his clothes fast enough, tearing at the sash that kept his tunic closed so he could fling the whole garment away.
Mahu’s laughter landed pleasantly in his ears. “What if someone comes?”
“Then they’ll see me naked, but no one is here.” Daka rucked up Mahu’s tunic next. He’d love to take it off, but he settled for access to skin.
Mahu dragged him back into his lap, warm thighs beneath Daka’s, arms holding him close, his features indicating his amusement. “One of these days we’ll have to try this without our shoes on.”
“Yes.” Daka wrapped a hand around both their cocks. “But not today. I need you now.”
Mahu rocked into his touch, added his own hand, and let out a glorious moan, music to Daka’s ears.
Daka gladly let Mahu take over, following his rhythm. Strong fingers worked both shafts, trapped together, hot and pulsing. Daka grabbed his shoulders and held on. Sex usually didn’t work this way for Daka; he was used to controlling his encounters, but it felt wonderful to give himself over to Mahu.
Sharp panting breaths rasped between open lips. Without thinking, Daka flung his tail around them both, his desire to be close overriding common sense.
Their gazes locked. Daka was afraid he’d made a mistake.
Mahu’s expression showed surprise, but his hand didn’t slow. “What else can it do?”
Relieved, Daka grinned. “I’ll show you later.” He tightened his tail around Mahu’s waist. “I didn’t mean to interrupt while you’re doing so great on your own.”
Mahu’s grip firmed, but his breath was shaky.
Daka whined. “More, Mahu. I want to come.”
Mahu’s hand rose and fell with Daka’s shuddering gasps. Only half aware of the rock beneath them, the sun beating down on their shoulders, the faint warm breeze on their skin, Daka responded to Mahu’s touch with his whole body.
Tremors began low in his back, tightened his sac, and raced through each vein toward fingertips and toes. He clutched Mahu tightly, leaning in as far as he could while still leaving room for Mahu’s hand flying between them, coaxing him to bliss one luscious stroke at a time.
A dizzy, heart-pounding release struck, seizing Daka from within. Hot seed spurted between them as he convulsed, his every nerve tingling with pleasure. He’d thrown his head back, the sun bright orange even behind his shuttered eyelids. As the tide of euphoria crested and slowly began to recede, the demon within gnashed its teeth.
Mahu had yet to come, though he’d released Daka before his cock became too sensitive for more. He’d gathered the seed in his palm, and now stroked himself as Daka watched.
Saliva pooled in his mouth, near to drooling as the scene played out before him. The veins on the back of Mahu’s hand bulged, the glistening head of his cock strained purple appearing and disappearing behind his tight fist, Daka’s creamy seed easing the way.
“Yes, that’s it,” Daka encouraged. He could feel Mahu’s climax building in the swirling energy surrounding them, its tantalizing aroma prickling his taste buds and arousing a thirst like no other. “Please.”
Mahu caught his gaze and held him prisoner, garnet eyes practically glowing. “This is what you need?”
