I nodded. That I understood. I had so many questions, but I was pulled tight to my mate’s body, and I couldn’t help but wonder if we would have sex in this position. It should work, and I was positive it would be amazing. “I don’t remember my next question,” I said as I stared at Vaughn’s lips. He had a bit of scruff going on, and I liked it. Would it be scratchy against my skin? Would it feel good?

“That’s all right. You have all the time to ask any questions,” he told me. “I do need to discuss things, though, because I can certainly scent your arousal, and I know you can feel mine.” Vaughn’s hands moved to my backside, and I closed my eyes and bit my lower lip to keep from moaning loudly when he pulled me even tighter to him, and I could certainly feel a very hard ridge against my very obviously smaller one. An entirely new thought entered my mind though, and my eyes flew open.

“Is it going to fit?”

He leaned in and kissed the side of my head. “It’ll fit. We might have to do a lot of prep and stretching, but it will fit.” He kissed me again before he pulled away slightly and looked down at me. “That’s one of the things I wanted to discuss.”

I blinked at him, trying to focus. I nodded because I wanted to hear what he had to say, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to talk. My body was vibrating faster now, and it had been since Vaughn had kissed me. And that was a simple kiss on the side of my head. I was trying to imagine what it would be like if he kissed me on the lips. Or somewhere else. I didn’t think my body could handle that.

“Are you still with me?”

That I could answer. “Yeah.”

“Good. I needed to mention my knot.”

I opened my eyes at the mention of a knot. “You have one? Okay.”

Vaughn smiled. “Yes, but not like a shifter would,” he said. “Mine is different.” Vaughn scowled a little. “Are you all right? You look like you might be in pain or something along those lines. You’re not hurting, are you?”

“A little, but it’s only because the vibrations through my body suddenly intensified when you kissed my head. I know they will relax again in a few minutes.” I took a deep breath, hoping to calm myself some. “You were talking about your knot? You have one?”

Vaughn stared at me for a moment before he nodded. “I do. But it’s not just a knot. It’s more like my entire cock becomes a knot. When I come and I’m with my mate, the shaft from the head to the base will expand. The full length will lock in, not just a single spot toward the base.”

That certainly cleared my mind in a hurry. “Say what? Your entire dick?” That couldn’t be possible, could it?

Chapter 5

Vaughn

Lewis hadn’t run away from me yet, so I was taking that as a good thing. I could tell he was surprised, and who wouldn’t be? My whole dick was going to balloon up to a currently unknown circumference and effectively lock us together for an uncertain amount of time. Yeah, it was a lot to take in. But that wasn’t the freakiest part of it.

“There’s more,” I said a bit hesitantly. He was already shocked and probably a bit overwhelmed; why not add a bit more to it?

“How can there be more?” Lewis asked.

“That’s the fun part of it, I guess you could say,” I told him, trying to lighten the situation. I cleared my throat. “I can claim you, and we can live happily forever with that.” I paused, taking a deep breath. “But in order to fully claim you, I will…we need to have sex with me in my shifted form.”

Lewis’s eyes couldn’t possibly get larger. “Say what now?”

I nodded. “It’s a bit on the kinky side, and some would say freaky, but yes. You, me in my blue gargoyle shift, and sex. It’s quite erotic, and some really seem to prefer it over this version of us.” I was not going to tell him that I’d already experienced that with others, because he was going to find out soon enough. But I was almost four hundred. I’d lived…a lot when it came to intimate situations.

“You’re telling me I have to have sex with you…in your blue suit?”

I felt my brow scrunch. “It’s not a suit. It’s skin. It’s thicker and quite a bit tougher than human skin. All of it is blue. Meaning, all parts.”

Lewis blinked several times. “No way.” He pushed up and away, then slid off my legs. I was sad to have him leave, but I understood that he might not want to remain on my lap. “You’re saying that you’re blue? Everywhere?” Lewis’s eyes dropped to my lap. “You have a blue dick and balls?”

I nodded slowly. “Dick, yes. The balls are a blue gray like my wings.” I shrugged. I didn’t know how else to share this other than to just come out and say it. “It will be enjoyable if you are willing to give it a try. It’s not required though.” Our bond wouldn’t be complete without it, but I was certain that if we claimed each other, it would eventually happen, and it would be Lewis who would push for it.

“Can I see?” he asked. “Your gargoyle, that is.”

“Sure. You need to know that I won’t hurt you in that form. We can be a bit grumpy-looking to some.” I wasn’t nearly as harsh-looking as Wilder, and it was ironic that my older brother had a fitting name because his beast looked absolutely wild. He had horns that went in two different directions. He’d injured one when he was young, and it had been odd ever since. “Do you want me to change here, or are you all right with me going to the other room and coming back out?” I glanced down at my jeans. These were one of my favorite pairs, and I would shred them if I changed into my beast in them.

Lewis stopped pacing and returned to the couch, sitting down beside me. “I don’t need to see your gargoyle. I was just curious if you would show me.”

“Of course I will. I have to get naked to change though. I’ll shred my clothing if I don’t. I can go change if you really want to see him though. I have some loose shorts in the bedroom. A towel works best, though, because of the tail. It can get painful to have it coming out of the bottom of the leg of the shorts, and it can be a bit indecent if the shorts are down below it in the back.”

“Where is your tail?”
