Page 21 of Venom Within Her

She whimpered in response. She was so beautiful with her curls soaked and stuck to the sides of her face, her skin glistening under the dim restroom lights. Her eyes were full of a dangerous desire, begging to submit to me. Begging to be claimed.

I spread more over her tongue, admiring the way she cherished it.

“Needy girl,” I grinned down at her, taking her chin between my fingers. “You’re going to stop teasing and lick this cunt like you want to make it yours, and I’ll give you all you want. Do you understand?”

“Yes, daddy, I understand.”

Fuck, how did she know I would like that?

Before I could respond, she sucked my clit into her mouth. My head swam, wobbling me off balance for a moment as she drained my soul through my cunt.

She hummed lowly in satisfaction as she worked, the vibration felt amazing against my sensitive nerves. I laced my fingers in her hair, tugging her roughly against me as I bucked my hips, chasing all the friction I could get.

“You’re doing so well, baby. Keep going, just like that.”

Too many feelings were thrashing around inside me as my climax built. I tried to focus on too many things at once: the way her lips looked puckered around my clit, the sprouting warmth in my chest, and the overpowering tautness of my tail, rising and ready to strike.

I couldn’t think straight. I knew I needed to calm down, but it was almost impossible. Especially when Ilona slipped two fingers inside of me, stretching me around her. For a split second, I decided I didn’t care. She was mine either way. What did it matter if I stung her now or later?

I was teetering on the edge. The need to claim her and the need to keep her safe were at war. Fighting my primal nature was exhausting, but not impossible. She was too important to me.

Gritting my teeth, trying to hold off my orgasm just a second longer, I shifted back into my human form. The second my tail disappeared and Ilona was safe, I came apart, spilling come all over her cheeks, tongue, and chin.

“Fuck, Ilona,” I thrusted into her face a few more times before sagging back onto the shower wall, “my perfect girl. So pretty covered in my come.”

I cupped her chin, pulling her up to her feet. I sucked her bottom lip into my mouth and bit down, pulling a delicious whimper from her. I may have resisted claiming her this time, but the feeling lingered. Possessiveness burned all over my skin.

“You belong to me. I’ll have nothing less than all of you.”

“I’m yours,” she whispered, her voice breathy and low. “I don’t want anyone else.”

“I have so many questions.”

Ilona rested her head on my chest. Our legs tangled together under the sheets, still floating in the bliss of the lingering orgasms. I planted a kiss on her forehead, ready to completely open up to her.

“Ask me anything, beautiful.”

She flopped onto her back, staring at the ceiling. “I don’t even know where to start.”

“The giant tail, maybe? The pinchers? The eyes?” I chuckled when I spoke, but I was serious. She had seen all of me, and I was surprised she hadn’t asked already.

“Right, yeah. So…what…how?” She covered her face, “I don’t even know how to ask. I don’t want to say anything wrong.”

“Half-human, half-scorpion, I guess you would call it. I can shift between all three, though. But it's…all me.” I shuffled next to her, my gaze meeting the spot on the ceiling where hers were locked.

“Were you born like this?”

“Yes, I was born a shifter.” I swallowed the sting of grief; it had been ages since I’d thought about my family. “My parents and all before them were the same, but humans can be turned.”

“Were they…your parents…part of the massacre?”

All I could do was nod as I swallowed down the growing lump in my throat.

“I think I read about you in the Cutwood history book Bev gave me,” she looked over to a small, worn green book on her nightstand. “She told me to avoid the woods, that there are dangerous creatures who prey on whoever dares to enter.”
