Desperation clawed at me. “Mayn!”
My voice, though choked with pain, echoed through the dim chamber.
Mayn’s eyes widened at my distressed state. “We’re nearing Zephyra,” he said hurriedly, his voice edged with panic. “The proximity to the antidote might be accelerating your transformation.”
I tried to respond, but my voice came out as a strangled gasp.
The world around me began to spin, and a cold dread settled in my chest.
Mayn seemed lost in thought for a heartbeat before his gaze met mine, filled with uncertainty. “There’s a temporary solution,” he began, hesitating as if searching for the right words. “Our species share a unique connection, one that could help slow down the effects.”
Desperation painted my features as I rasped out, “Anything. Please.”
His face flushed a shade I’d never seen, his voice almost a whisper. “It… requires a deeply personal connection…”
“Personal?” I managed through clenched teeth. “How personal?”
He cleared his throat. “Mating. It requires us to mate.”
Time seemed to stand still.
The pain momentarily forgotten, replaced by a rush of confusion, surprise, and something else, something deeper.
My heart raced, not from the agony of my changing form but from the realization of the intimacy of the proposed remedy and the burgeoning feelings I was beginning to recognize.
Memories of our shared glances, the touches that lingered a moment too long, and the undeniable chemistry that had been building between us played in my mind.
The urgency of my situation collided with the sudden realization of my feelings for Mayn.
The pain jolted me back to the present, making my decision clear.
“I trust you,” I whispered, my gaze locked onto his.
Taken by surprise, he closed the distance between us and gently cradled my face, his touch cool against my fevered skin.
Our lips met, and the universe seemed to shift.
A rush of warmth surged through me, followed by a pulse of energy that felt like a lifeline being thrown in my most dire moment.
The connection was palpable.
It felt as if our souls, our very essences, were intertwining, offering solace and strength.
The pain began to ebb, replaced by a gentle tide of relief and an overwhelming sense of bonding.
When we finally parted, both of us were breathless, the gravity of the moment weighing heavily between us.
My transformation had indeed slowed, the agonizing sensations replaced with a calm that felt alien yet comforting.
Our gazes remained locked, a myriad of emotions passing between us.
No words were necessary — the shared experience spoke volumes.
The barriers between us seemed to have crumbled, replaced by a connection that was undeniable.
Then we launched into each other.
His lips were on mine, and he kissed down my cheeks to the nape of my neck.
