So fucking much, I thought back. Don’t stop. Don’t let him stop.

Skadi’s mental laughter was sharp-edged. I won’t.

Oh shit. He was inside my mind, too? If I wasn’t careful, he would see all the absolutely filthy things I’d imagined… My mental shields slipped, and a series of images flickered through my mind.

I might as well have read my private sexual diary aloud to them both. They went still for a long moment.

“These things are… possible?” Skadi said, talking to Lusca.

“Some of them are unusual. But with your tail, my tentacles, and enough slick between us all? I believe so,” he replied, his laughter once more vibrating behind me. “What a vivid imagination you have. So many combinations.”

“Let me concentrate,” Skadi commanded and lowered his mouth. “I need to get this right.” A strange thought bubbled up from somewhere.

“Skadi, are you a virgin?”

He didn’t reply, just set his wicked, forked tongue to my core and used it in ways that made the question moot. Pleasure and ice crackled through me in tandem, balancing the heat that seared my insides. I’d never come so fast and so hard before, though I wasn’t sure if that was because of the heat-haze that cleared my mind of anything resembling rational thought and replaced it with pure desire, or his skill.

I shouted something as I came again, his tongue fluttering with just the right speed and friction to bring me to another climax almost before the first had ended.

In fact… “Skadi, please,” I gasped as he increased the speed of his tongue somehow, varying the pressure just as something pressed inside me. Clouds of steam obscured both my mates from view as something thicker than a finger—even his enormous ones—worked into me, plunging in a few inches until it hit the perfect place, on the opposite side of his where his icy tongue thrummed. “Ahhh!” Warm liquid rushed out as I came so hard, it felt like I might die.

Then he shifted position, moving up so his lips hovered over mine. “May I steal a kiss, little spy?”

I made a garbled sound of approval, and his lips covered mine in a deep, consuming kiss, the cold of them a shock. But not as much of a shock as the sensation below a few moments later, when the head of his cock pressed against my entrance.

“May I enter you?” he growled.

“Now,” I said. Well, demanded, maybe. Lusca chuckled again, his hands on my breasts, pinching my nipples and twisting just enough to have me arching my back again.

“Such lovely consent,” Skadi snarled from the cloud of fog, his lips devouring mine as he pressed forward with his cock.

Only to stop.

He pressed forward again. “What is this?”

“Oh no,” Lusca whispered.

“Oh fuck,” I agreed, whimpering.

“Why is it… not going in?” The ice god’s voice was equal parts confusion and embarrassment. “Am I doing it wrong?”

Lusca came to my rescue. Would you like me to explain it to him, beloved?

Explain why the Goddess apparently hates me? I whined. The heat inside was building again. It hurts, Lusca. I need…

I know what you need. I could almost hear him speaking to Skadi. I could feel the ice god’s body stiffening.

“The moon goddess does not… approve of me, for Her daughter?” He made an odd sound. “She approved of the seal men, and the hairy human male, but not me?” The steam was clearing, and I glimpsed his face. He was trembling. Hurt. “I… I am not worthy of my little spy, in Her eyes?”

My core ached, but I couldn’t let him think this was permanent, though it might be. Who knew, with the Goddess? I lifted my hand and cupped his cheek. He was cool, the angles of his face so intriguing. The colors were the same blues, silvers, and whites, but his eyes had grown darker since he’d shared his power with Lusca.

“She didn’t approve of Goran at first, Skadi. He had to prove himself.”

“How?” His voice broke on the word.

Somehow, I swam up through the layers of heat to reply. “She spoke to him through me. Gave him a painful task to complete.” Skadi listened as I haltingly explained about Goran’s piercings.

Skadi muttered, “Was your Goddess playing a trick on him? That is no sacrifice. I will pierce my lower extremities any number of times for you.”
