“It’s not. Now, can you control your Shifter so I can fix this?” Tessi sets her hand over my heart.
“Barely.” My ribs already thunder with the increasing strength of the beat in my chest. My blood roars through my veins as she eases under the comforter and unbuckles my pants.
“What are you doing?”
“Eating jerky, boss,” Davarok replies over my earcom. “I’m trying to get Esrynne to put some meat in her mouth, get some training in before she finds a mate. But, stars, she’s a… Ow!”
“Ignore him, sir.” Esrynne grunts as something slaps in the background. “Get some rest. I will handle your crew.”
Davarok swears and chuckles.
I yank the com out of my ear, switch it off, and set it on the nightstand. The last thing I need is them overhearing anything.
Tessi unzips my pants. I catch her hands. “Please… I don’t think I can handle this.”
She glances at her wrists as the veins light up my shade of silvery blue. “Oh, but you want it.”
Desire courses through me. “Of course, I do. But that doesn’t mean…”
She slips herself free, straddles my thighs, and frees my cock in one quick move. The hot wet sensation gliding up my rigid shaft makes me shudder with need. The urge to howl rises in my throat.
I grit my teeth as her luscious mouth slides over my tip, pushing down, stealing my breath, heating the coldest corners of my body. She takes more of me, massaging me with her tongue. I grab the sheets, trying to ground myself as her every caress sends me higher, toward an unfamiliar place in the sky.
Tessi sucks hard as she pulls back and swirls her velvety tongue around my tip, before consuming me again. She hums a quiet note of bliss like she’s enjoying herself, and the vibrations of her voice only accentuate my ecstacy.
“I’m hearing yummy sounds,” Onidus sings out. “Do I need to come in there?”
She pulls off of me and grins. “You’re bigger than I expected.” Then she raises her voice. “Just getting Zorin to pop my back.”
“Just no backmassages,” Onidus calls through the door. “I know how those end.”
Tessi lowers herself to my balls, curls her tongue under them, then licks me all the way up. The flare of lust is too strong, too hot as I lift the sheets to watch her tongue glide down me.
I brace her head as my balls tighten. “Tessi…”
She takes me harder and faster this time, coaxing me on as my whole body tenses. Sweat beads on my skin. The way she cups my sack with a soft hand and massages me as she bobs over my cock thrusts me into a new place among the cosmos filled with golden stars and moons like her eyes. The urge to howl grips me as hard as she does. My heart races faster as I strangle my instincts with a hand over my mouth.
I have never been touched in such a way.
As my release comes and I pump my seed into her beautiful mouth, she drinks me down like she’s starving, sucking and gliding her hand up my shaft to be sure she savors every drop.
Then the pressure begins at my base, and I fear hurting her. I guide Tessi up to me, shove my swelling cock back into my pants and zip back up.
Tessi waits for me to buckle my pants then lays herself over me with her head on my chest. “Squeeze, please.”
I hug her tightly and feel her back pop.
She shudders. “Ow, that was a good one. Thanks.”
“What were you dreaming about?” I ask.
“Myndrous and you hunting them. I was worrying you were going to die, and I was going to be stuck here without you when I’d just found you.”
Onidus reenters when Tessi calls to him. He lets me see him this time. The smirk on his face says he knows what’s going on. But I don’t care. Tessi is happy. And I havesort ofmated with my chosen. I studied the acts in our human behavioral studies book from ABR. I just didn’t expect it to happen to me.
Tessi sleeps the rest of the night on my chest. And finally, I get a little sleep, too.
