His arm curved around my neck…

Hold your seahorses!

My foggy mind struggled to understand how Cer could have more than two arms, but that confusion cleared as the tentacle around my neck tightened, the tip flicking against my skin.

It wasn’t tight enough to cut off my breathing, but it was enough to hold me in place and remind me I wasn’t the one in control.

Cerulean had shifted forms, and this time, his tentacles weren’t as curious and gentle as they had been in the pool; they were dominating and determined as they twisted around my body.

Two tentacles coiled around my ankles and stroked against the sensitive flesh of my inner thighs. Cerulean swallowed my moan when a fifth slithered around my breasts.

His tentacles coiled around me like a serpent around its prey while his mouth devoured mine, his tongue lapping at the blood. I was pinned beneath him, and even if I’d used my vampiric strength, I doubted I could have fought him off.

Even while lost to his beast, Cerulean was keeping his full weight off me, and his tentacles were restrictive but not painful. He didn’t want to hurt me, and that sent a strange, gooey warmth trickling through me.

Cerulean’s chest vibrated each time he got a drop of my blood, causing my desire to rise.

I was used to being in charge… everywhere. And being in control during sex had become a quick way to release my pent-up stress.

So why was Cer’s aggressive dominance causing my body to send wave after wave of wet heat rushing between my thighs?

This differed from the wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am sex I’d grown accustomed to, and I was becoming intensely curious about what it would feel like to experience sex that was filled with a wild passion.

The cut on my inner lip was already healing thanks to my vampiric abilities… but I wasn’t ready for our fiery kiss to be over.

Letting go of all reason, I swiped my tongue along my fang. The sharp tip sliced into my skin with such ease I didn’t feel the pain.

Fresh blood pooled in my mouth, and Cerulean instantly took the bait. And once again, he responded with a primal hunger that caused a powerful ache to build low in my stomach.

His tongue delved into my mouth, stroking against mine. The tentacle around my waist curled around my upper thigh, the tip inching ever closer to my soaked core.

When another tentacle brushed against my aching breasts, I whimpered, eliciting a rumbling growl from the man devouring me.

As though he wanted to make me whimper again, the tentacle rolled against my skin until the underside stroked my skin—were those his suction cups?

I got my answer when one of those cups latched onto the hardened peak of my nipple and pulled gently. It was as though his mouth was in more than one place at a time, and my body nearly short-circuited.

“Cerulean!” I arched, breaking our kiss to pant his name.

He responded with a frustrated growl, his mouth traveling up the column of my neck to claim my mouth again.

I struggled in his hold, not because I wanted to be freed, but because I longed for more. His mouth, his scent, his body pressed against mine, his tentacle teasing and sucking my breasts… it was too much and not enough all at the same time.

The tentacle around my waist slid low across my stomach until the tip brushed against my slit. The simple touch was too much for my brain to process, and my body stiffened.

For the first time since he’d licked my finger clean, Cerulean spoke, his voice raw. “Do you want me to stop?”

He was motionless, not a single wandering tentacle twitching as he waited for my response.

“No,” I whispered against his lips. “Please don’t stop.”

The tentacles holding me flexed slightly, and I got the distinct impression they were pleased I hadn’t pushed him away.

The tentacle between my legs rolled until the edges of the cups rubbed against my soaked entrance.

My body came off the bed as though I’d been electrocuted, the delicious friction too much to handle.

An alien clicking came from Cer’s chest, and his lips found my ear. “If you liked that, you’re really going to love this.”
