Daphne’s mouth fell open. She’d never seen anything like it. The entire length of his shaft was covered in thick bands of flesh, starting at the base and ending just below the head. Daphne couldn’t imagine how such a thing would feel inside her.

“But…how?”

“He grew them.”

“He grew them?”

“Yes.”

“At will?”

“Yes.”

She looked up at Kronos. “Why don’t you grow some?”

Kronos shot her a stern look. He straightened, drawing himself up to his full height. “I do not need them.”

Daphne smiled. “Right. Of course not. Your cock is already perfect.”

His palm cupped her ass, giving it a sharp squeeze. “Yes. It is.”

Daphne giggled.

“Besides,” he said. “It is considered a weakness to modify one’s cock.”

“How is that a weakness?”

“It means you need a ridged cock to accomplish what others can accomplish with a smooth one. It is a desperate measure. He is likely ranked low or has something at stake.”

Daphne tried to wrap her head around that logic. She watched as the man walked through the crowd. Heads turned, and she saw other basilisks whispering behind their hands. They were clearly talking about him.

“Besides,” Kronos continued, “I could not grow ridges even if I wished to. All basilisks have different abilities, and that is not one of mine.”

“Why not?”

He shrugged. “Only Kora knows.”

“Well…what’s your ability?”

Kronos did not answer, but his mouth quirked up in a half smile.

When he remained silent, Daphne poked his bicep. “Kronos,” she insisted. “Tell me.”

“No.”

“Why not?”

His smile widened. “I would rather show you.”

For some reason, a chill ran down her spine. Whatever his special ability was, she was dying to discover it. There was no doubt in her mind that it was something sexual. The thought thrilled her—and terrified her. Yet the possibility of Kronos showing her was too tempting to resist.

“When?” she asked.

Now he looked down at her, his pupils widening. “When you are ready for it.”

Daphne could not wait.

They continued their journey, still walking slowly, now hand in hand. When Daphne tried to approach the large marble fountain, Kronos chuckled and pulled her firmly away.
