Page 30 of Tied In Tentacles
Eteriion walked along the path leading back to his cabin, his mind on Justin. He’d left six months earlier, and they had kept in touch. He was busy setting up his business, dealing with the ex who couldn’t understand why Justin wouldn’t take him back, a family planning a wedding as his brother had proposed to his girlfriend, and Eteriion missed him. The time between their calls grew until Eteriion only heard from Justin every other week.
There had been no talks about Justin coming to visit or Eteriion going to the city. It felt like their time together had been a dream, and as time passed, it faded away and the loneliness crept back into Eteriion’s life. The town kept him busy. Ged made him come down to visit regularly, more so after Justin had left. It helped a little, but then he would return to the cabin and be alone again.
Justin’s scent had long since disappeared, and all Eteriion had were his memories of their time together. He’d thought andhoped when Justin had first left that he would return, but that hope had long since disappeared as well.
When his cabin came into view, his sigh deepened, and he trudged on until he saw someone sitting on the deck at the back of his cabin. The man stood and waited, and Eteriion’s breath caught. Justin. He jogged the rest of the way, slowing when he neared the human he’d grown to love. Justin shoved his hands in the front pocket of his jeans and gave him a small smile before licking his lips and glancing away.
“Justin.”
“It took me longer than I thought it would.”
Eteriion took another step closer and stared into Justin’s hazel eyes. “What did?”
“Sorting my life out.”
Inhaling deeply, Eteriion held it and waited. When Justin remained quiet, he released it and asked, “Why?”
“I had more to do than I thought. I quit my job.”
“You did?” Justin had mentioned the possibility of leaving his job when he’d been with Eteriion, but he’d never thought Justin would quit. “What are you doing now?”
“I began a cyber security business. I’m online, which makes it easier. I figured it would take time, but some of my clients came with me and others have joined. I’m doing better now than when I worked for my employer.”
“That’s good. That’s really good.”
“And I stopped renting my place. I lived with my parents for a couple of months.” He licked his lips and looked up at the mountains. “I missed this place. I missed you.” He looked back at Eteriion. “I wanted to come back sooner.”
Eteriion took a shaky breath. “Why did you come back?” He could hear the tremor in his words and ignored it. “Justin?”
“For you…if you’ll have me. If you still want me.”
“I’ll always want you.” Eteriion ran the rest of the way to Justin and scooped him up into his arms. He wanted to hold him with his tentacles, but he had them under his hat. “I didn’t think you’d come back. I thought you’d forgotten about me, or you didn’t feel the way I did, or being me was too much.”
“I told my parents about you.”
Eteriion leaned back, his eyes wide. “You did? About me crashing and tentacles and alien?”
Laughing, Justin nodded. “I did, and they want to meet you.” Justin licked his lips. “Why aren’t we inside and getting naked?”
Laughing, Eteriion spun them around, then kissed him, his tongue slipping inside Justin’s mouth to taste the human he loved. “I have missed you so much.”
“Me too, so let’s get inside, get naked and fuck.” Eteriion quickly unlocked the door and then kicked it shut behind them before striding across the floor and into his bedroom. Justin began stripping as soon as Eteriion released him, and within a minute they both stood naked. Eteriion groaned and pulled Justin back into his arms where he belonged, his tentacles and hands mapping his body.
Justin arched up into his touch, his tongue licking up Eteriion’s neck before taking his lips in a hot and heavy kiss. Eteriion picked him up, then lay him on the bed and stared down at perfection. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” Justin kissed him again and spread his legs. “I want you. Hard and fast. We can do slow later. I’ve missed having you inside me.”
Eteriion rubbed the head of his dick over Justin’s asshole, then pushed inside. Justin groaned and pulled his legs back. Eteriion stared down, watching Justin’s ass swallow his dick. Justin gasped, then arched back. “Missed this. Missed how full you make me feel.”
“I’m going to fuck you now.”
“Yes. Do it.” Eteriion lay over Justin as his tentacles began to tease him. Justin shuddered, then moaned when Eteriion began to stroke his dick and tease his nipples. “I love your tentacles.” Another long moan and Justin gasped out, “I won’t last long.”
“Me either.” He lay over Justin, kissing him with all the emotions he had, and when Justin returned it, he knew he wouldn’t be alone again. “I’m going to bite you. I need to mark you, need to tie you to me.”
“Mark me as yours. Do what you have to. I’m not leaving you again. I’m completely yours.”
Eteriion felt tears gather in his eyes as he bit Justin, making sure to pierce the skin. Justin tensed beneath him, then shook, a cry falling from his lips as he came. Eteriion pounded into Justin until he came, his body shuddering. His dick swelled, causing Justin to moan again. “I missed that feeling. The way you swell inside me. God, I love it.”
