It lingers at my lips, my breasts, my stomach, the center of my thighs…
It’s hot in here.
“Right. My turn.” I take a step toward him. “And then…dinner?”
“Dinner…” He says it so low it sounds like a hum and the way he looks at me as he says the word…
As if I am the thing he wants to devour…
My thighs clench as I open my mouth to breathe.
I move closer, my ba’clan retracting to rest over my spinal column as I come to stand by Fer’ro’s side within the cleansing station.
I have to tilt my head as I look up at him.
Still, he does not move.
He is frozen as he looks down at me, his head turned to the side, and through the corner of my eyes, I see that same pulse in his crotch.
He has a cock hidden there.
I’m sure of it.
I’d thought…at first I’d thought he didn’t have one, but I should have known better.
I know enough about animals to know that various species have various dongs and though Fer’ro may look similar enough to us…he is not human.
Not all animals have their cocks on display like humans do.
Most reptiles don’t…
Reptile…
My gaze meets his and I utter a nervous laugh.
I should have guessed. His slitted eyes are a dead giveaway.
“You are baring your fangless teeth at me,” he says and I shut my mouth.
He sniffs the air then. “It is not aggression that I smell…”
That makes my cheeks grow warm. “No. No it isn’t. I was laughing. It means I am happy. Aggression is the last thing on my mind.”
He turns to face me fully then and his presence feels like it engulfs me.
“What is on your mind?”
My cheeks blaze harder.
What are the rules surrounding this sort of thing?
Are we even allowed to fuck?
Because I want to…
I just don’t know if it’s possible.
Fer’ro is a big guy…
“I’m sure you can tell what’s on my mind,” I whisper. “You keep sniffing the air.”
That elicits a growl that makes me clench my thighs again.
“I can,” he rumbles.
The light from the cleansing station moves over us, distracting me for a moment, and I get the chance to breathe.
I don’t think I can turn back from this now.
It is as real as the breath that flows through my lungs.
I want Fer’ro.
The thought makes me ache and Fer’ro suddenly inhales deeply.
He’s so close, I feel the pull of air against my skin, and then I’m being lifted off my feet.
I yelp a little as my arms automatically go around his neck.
Fer’ro’s large hands cup my naked buttocks as he pulls me toward him.
“You are intoxicating,” he rasps and the words vibrate against my skin.
Intoxicating.
I’ve never been called that before.
I yelp again as Fer’ro walks toward the wall. I am being lifted higher and it is only when my back hits the wall and my legs settle over his shoulders that I realize what he intends to do.
I only manage to squeal a little before his mouth closes over my center.
“Fuck.” How is he so good at this?
My eyes roll back in my head as his tongue invades me and I whimper.
It’s a soft sound. Almost like I’m begging him to stop but also begging for more.
Fer’ro growls against me, causing his tongue to vibrate between my lips and my hips buck.
His mouth is hot, wet, his tongue insistent as he laps at me and I start shivering as I grip his head, moving over the ridges that run all the way to the top where his locks are secured.
I grip them so hard, I feel when they become undone in between my fingers.
A sharp inhale has my back arching.
It feels like a flower garden is blooming between my thighs.
His mouth. His tongue.
Shamelessly, I buck against him and Fer’ro grabs my hips holding me there.
He moans against me again before his tongue teases my entrance.
I cry out against him, my body fighting to squirm as my legs go weak.
There is a moment when my consciousness leaves my body. That singular moment when I feel the thick, wet organ breach my entrance to slip deep inside me.
My eyes roll back, my back arches, my body goes limp as a moan barrels from deep within me.
There’s a sweet-flowing river that’s running through me and it shoots up into a geyser.
In and out he moves his tongue as his mouth closes over my clit. And then he moans.
It’s a deep vibration that has me stiffening. My toes curl.
I scream as the orgasm hits me so hard, I lose track of everything around me.
I feel rather than hear Fer’ro growl against my lips.
I can’t control my hips as I buck, tremors going through me, until I have to plant my hands against his head and push him away, for he isn’t stopping.
He’s lapping at my juices, still teasing that tender bud between my legs.
“Fer’ro,” I pant as he finally pauses to look up at me.
I could dive into those lava eyes. I can’t pull my gaze away as my body heaves and Fer’ro looks at me, his pupils so thin I can hardly see them.
He swipes his tongue over me again and I shudder.
“Please…”
His tongue pauses at my request.
“Please…I need you inside me…”
My entire body is flushed and I’m still shivering, my body jerking sporadically in the aftermath of my climax.
I don’t think I can handle more, but there’s a space between my legs, a hole that’s aching for something to fill it.
And I want to feel him…
“Fer’ro,” I say again, and then it hits me that maybe, just maybe, I’ve read all of this wrong.
Maybe he doesn’t want to have sex with me.
Maybe his people don’t do it the way I think.
But then… “Adira…”
He’s going to deny me.
My heart sinks and my whole being flushes for a whole other reason as embarrassment fills me.
Just what the hell was I thinking?
“If I pierce you with my sah-zi…you will be mine forever.”
I blink at him.
Forever?
Gingerly, I move my fingers to brush over the ridges that run down his cheeks.
He is so serious, I sober for a bit.
I don’t know Vullan customs. Maybe they’re monogamous and mate for life.
“You mean as in…your wife or something?”
“You will be mine,” he repeats. “You are already mine. From the first moment I held you in my arms.”
His voice has gotten deeper and his eyes are now completely lava, no pupil visible.
“If any other male tries to take you away from me…I will kill them.”
He says it so seriously, I have no doubt that what he says, he will do.
But this is the end of the world and I can’t deny I’m drawn to him too.
“I want you,” he says.
My tongue feels thick in my mouth but I manage to answer anyway. “Then why don’t you take me?”
Fer’ro’s body shudders a little as he breathes evenly through his nose. His breath brushes against my clit and I jerk again.
“You are too small. I might hurt you.”
What? I want to chuckle and brush it off but how big are we talking about here?
“I’ve pierced you with my tongue. Your entrance is small. Tight.” He brushes his nose against the inside of my thigh. “I do not want to break you.”
His tongue flicks out and moves over my skin and the feel of it makes me gasp.
I’m on this alien’s shoulders, his face buried in my cunt, and not once have I felt concern.
