Page 34 of Not So Stranded
“I think I should,” Zenori said. “It seems like the best method to increase the number of hybrids while diversifying our ancestral lines.”
Kit hadn’t considered that part of things, but it seemed like a fair assessment. At some later time, he could donate to Hiaka to really expand their lineage. Assuming, of course, that he wanted to do it again someday.
Oh, damn, he did have a question. Did he really want to ask his father-in-law, though? He could ask Larkin or even Steve. It probably wasn’t something one forgot.
“I can see your wheels turning in there,” Michael said with a grin. “Just ask. I stopped being shy about butt stuff after my second set of hatchlings.”
Kit made a wheezing noise before clearing his throat again. “Um… Well… Oh, god.”
“Rip the bandaid off,” Hiaka suggested.
Kit winced but said, “What’s Jonah feeling like right now?”
Michael chuckled. “You mean, how’s his ass.”
Groaning, Kit covered his face.
“Stretched, open, empty,” Michael said, “but there’s not much to recover from. Everything goes back to normal fairly quickly. We haven’t done a study or anything, but I’m going to credit the elixir for making sure there’s no sort of prolapse or paralysis. Jonah there will probably have a normal shit in a day or so and be just fine.”
Prolapse or— Kit sucked in a breath, having not considered anything like that. And, really, he didn’t need to consider it, according to Michael. So that was good.But oh, dear god…
“Just so you know,” Hiaka said, “my eggs’ll come out through my cock.”
“Oh, fuck! Seriously?” Kit couldn’t stop himself from reaching down to cover his.
Hiaka shrugged. “It’s way stretchier than yours, of course. But, yeah.”
“And you’re…okay with that?”
“I mean, I’m not looking forward to it exactly, but I’d already talked to my siblings and cousins. It soundskind ofsimilar to what you’ll experience.”
“Will the eggs stay in your— There?”
“No, they’ll be inside,” Hiaka said and patted their belly. “It’s the traveling out that’s the issue.”
“But afterward…” Michael said with a smile as he put his hand over his heart. “You have babies. Babiesyoumade. You remember what you went through, but to have them?”
Kit nodded. “Worth it.”
Michael pointed at Kit and winked before he reached over and briefly cupped Hiaka’s cheek in his palm. One of his babies…
Worth it. Yeah, Kit understood that. To go from no family to all of these people and his own mates and children? No complicated adoptions or surrogates? It was a miracle and it was home and it was worth anything he had to go through to get and keep it. Totally worth it.
Chapter 12
Acouple of nights later, Kit deposited his chair in the darkest corner of the lagoon that he could find. There wasn’t a single person here who didn’t know what they were going to do—Zenori impregnating Hiaka and Kit at the same time—but he still couldn’t bring himself to have an audience for the act. This was a lot different than the sex they’d been having on previous nights.
They were done practicing. They were going to make babies tonight.
“Why am I so nervous?” Kit whispered as he dropped into his chair in the shallow water just before the drop-off to the gate. “I know exactly what’s going to happen. There aren’t any surprises.”
Tentacles curling around Kit’s legs, Hiaka leaned in to flash a grin at him in the semi-darkness. “I hope it’s a good nervous. Like, happy anxiety.”
Kit huffed a laugh and pulled them into a hug. “Yeah, I’m sure it’s that.”
They’d talked about what needed to happen and when, too, so Kit knew Zenori and Hiaka would need to go first. He could help with that, which was why, when they started making out, hehung back and waited. As soon as he felt their cocks slither out along his legs, he knew it was time to get his hands on his mates.
Both of them grunted before moaning as Kit stroked their long cocks. It was like petting a pair of anacondas. Their kisses got filthier, sounds deeper, and Kit was getting riled up right along with them.
