A chain was clasped snug around the base of Austin’s cock, a second chain looping behind his balls. It was made of the same fine chain as his body jewellery, interspersed with the little blue gems. Tristan stared, mouth watering as Austin’s cock twitched and grew. It rested so elegantly over his thigh, pressed to his hip.
Tristan’s cock slipped free of his tail, a potent need gripping him. He leaned in, carefully guiding Austin’s legs over his shoulders, and explored the chain against Austin’s cock with his tongue.
Austin’s skin was warm and briny, impossibly sweet. Tristan struggled to bring his impatience to heel. He wanted to drag Austin into the water and smash his mouth to his. He wanted to demand Austin shift, so Tristan could lock them together and spill inside, or else climb over his siren and addsemen to the decorations clinging to his skin. But more than any of that, he wanted to make Austin feel so blissfully good that he forgot being bedded had ever been anything but joyous.
Tristan took Austin in his mouth, swallowing him down, setting a steady, predictable pace that Austin could follow easily. Austin’s thighs tightened, warming his ears and neck. Tristan hummed his enjoyment as Austin’s cock butted against the back of his throat, and his siren began to sing.
The moans made him falter; it was impossible not to. Austin’s voice made him feel as though he were ascending to a higher plane of existence.
“Tristan…” Austin’s fingers carded through his hair, tugging the band out so he could grip long strands. “I’m going to—”
Tristan kept going until Austin’s breath caught, his body tensing and his hips lifting in jutting thrusts. He spilled down Tristan’s throat. He swallowed and kept going until Austin’s cry turned sensitive. Then he licked Austin clean and raised his head.
Austin’s lips were wet and parted, pants falling warm across Tristan’s face. His silver eyes shone as they locked on Tristan, meeting his gaze at last.
Tristan slipped Austin’s legs off him, pushing them apart as he lifted himself from the water, high enough to kiss that lovely mouth. “I missed you.”
“Your cock is stabbing my belly button.”
“Indeed.”
“Take off my jewellery. I’m afraid of what might happen if I change with that on my cock.”
“You are divine,” Tristan answered. And carefully did as Austin asked. “Did Hal help connect your nest to the ocean?”
“Hal is not allowed near my nest.”
Surely Austin hadn’t done it himself? Tristan checked Austin’s smooth fingers, then shook his head at himself. Better to look inside his mouth for evidence. “Charybdis?”
“No. He’ll only come when I’m afraid, or very angry. Your absence only made me moderately angry, and very annoyed.”
“Forgive me,” Tristan said. He smiled to himself when Austin growled at the wording. He was glad to hear that nothing grievous had upset Austin in his absence. And he seemed good, too. Tristan snuck a feel of his ribs as he helped remove the body jewellery, and they were well filled in.
Austin, who missed nothing, caught him by the throat. “Am I a horse whose condition needs to be assessed?”
Tristan went still. “No.”
Austin’s pinky brushed the edge of Tristan’s gill, sending a ticklish sensation over his skin. Austin’s eyes slid down his body, assessing. “You seem uninjured.”
“Nothing touched me.”
“And none have touched me,” Austin replied. “Except Eli, for massages. And the matriarch likes my tail. Ah, and Dew helped polish my tail too. Sometimes I sleep with Liam.”
Tristan felt his gaze sharpen and leaned into the hand around his throat.
“To protect him from that rodent,” Austin explained.
“I will send a guard and relieve you of that task.”
“I’m not sure Liam would like that.”
Tristan leaned harder into Austin’s hand. Tristan would make the request of Hal. His brother had servants for every task imaginable in the city. A seductive creature to keep the man’s bed warm shouldn’t be hard to find. Though it would have to be a seductive creature that Austin liked. Otherwise, he’d be in bed with Liam protecting him from them as well as the cat.
Austin finished scanning Tristan, eyes settling on his cock, waiting hungrily in the water. A little growl started, Austin aggrieved at his size.
“I am not trying to put it inside you,” Tristan promised. No matter what form Tristan took, he didn’t think even his tip would fit into Austin like this. His siren was too delicate and lithe a creature.
Austin released his throat. “All went well?”
