“Oh. Okay.”

She lay atop him, trying to do as he’d commanded, but now that she knew what was prodding her, she found it incredibly difficult to remain still. Especially with his hands clutching her bare ass, his claws teasingly pricking her skin, and his heated stare holding her captive.

Warmth bloomed in her core, spreading through her body and making her skin tingle. His claspers continued moving along her outer thighs and hips, slipping beneath her dress, which had ridden up during the night, their little strokes only adding to the sensations she was feeling.

Unintentionally, she wriggled her hips, causing his bulge to slip against her cleft. Her breath hitched at the jolt of pleasure sparked by that contact.

“Oh fuck,” she rasped, body tensing as her pussy clenched.

Telok hissed and went rigid beneath her, fingers flexing on her ass, enhancing the bite of his claws and the pressure on her clit.

Her lashes fluttered, and a soft, mewling moan spilled past her lips. “Telok…”

A shudder wracked him as a low growl reverberated in his chest. Grabbing her hips and sides with all his hands, Telok hauled her off him and roughly deposited her onto her back atop the bedding. Lacey’s hair fell over her eyes, and she quickly swiped it aside to see him rolling away.

But not before she’d seen the length of his extruded, bright green cock.

Her eyes flared as he surged up onto his legs, turned his back toward her, and strode to the far end of the room, where he sank the claws of all four hands into the woven stick wall and curled his fingers. Shoulders heaving with his harsh breaths, he remained there, stance rigid and leg hairs standing on end, as tremors coursed through him. Wood cracked in his tightening grip.

Telok was completely on edge.

And it was fucking hot.

Grinning, Lacey watched him, half tempted to part her legs and touch herself to lure him back to her. To finish what they’d started. She was already turned on, her pussy exposed as she lay there with her dress bunched around her waist. And based on what she’d seen…

All she’d had was a glimpse of his cock, but the image was branded in her mind. It was utterly inhuman, its wide, thick head tapering at the tip into two points with an inch-long slit at its center. The shaft was long, narrower than the head, but widened again near the base where there were two bulges, one on each side.

Were those knots?

Lacey released a shuddering breath and squeezed her thighs together to dampen a surge of desire. Holy shit, what would he feel like inside her?

Not now, Lacey. Everyone is waiting for you two. You have responsibilities, and people’s lives are at risk. Now is not the time for sex.

But why had Telok withdrawn from her so abruptly? Was it for the same reason she was refraining now, or something else?

Frowning, Lacey nibbled on her bottom lip as she stared at him.

The way he was acting made it obvious that he wasn’t ready, despite how much he wanted her, so she wouldn’t push him. But it left her severely confused.

With a soft sigh, she sat up, tugged the hem of her dress down to cover her legs, and folded her hands in her lap. “Are…you okay?”

“Yes,” he said hoarsely, sounding more like a beast trying to imitate speech than a person.

“You don’t sound o⁠—”

“Lacey!” He emphasized her name with a snap of his fangs, causing her to jump, and turned his head so she could just make out the corners of a few of his eyes through the wild strands of his unbound hair.

She pressed her lips together, curled them in, and bit down on them.

He is definitely not okay.

“Right, well, I’ll just…get ready,” she said, getting to her feet.

And give grumpy, horny spider man some space.

His eyes lingered on her for several long heartbeats, glinting like those of a predator focused on prey. Then with a low snarl he faced forward and bowed his head, his posture somehow stiffening further.

Moving to her bag, she crouched and dug inside it until she found her short, green sleeveless dress and freshly washed green pants. If she was going hunting for beasties, she’d at least blend in with her surroundings.
