I knew without the barest brush of doubt that I could take twenty arrows in my guts to get to her. And that, even on the brink of death, I’d still be shooting my own right back, still fighting to find her.
Speaking of which...
With a click of my tongues, I directed Togo downward to the corpse. We landed beside it and I dismounted. I removed two arrows that had not been broken from the thing’s head, frowning with disgust at the blood coating their shafts. I wiped them with a spare bit of hide from among my things before returning them to my quiver. I wiped at my hands, too, but did not feel sufficiently clean as I tossed the rag down.
Curse these bone-dry mountains.
Unlike the lush Deep Sky peaks, there was little water to be had out here. No sudsy moss for cleaning myself, either. I’d been using other plants – long skinny ones that did not grow in my mountains – for that. But it did not compare to the cold and hot springs of my homeland.
“I cannot wait to get out of here,” I growled, rubbing my hands viciously up and down my thighs, trying to eliminate the feeling of stickiness. Togo fixed me with his six eyes and then brayed in agreement.
I patted the feathery fluff of his neck, smiling at my loyal mount.
“Soon. Soon, I will have her. And I will bring her back to our mountains and treat her to the sort of life a Gahnala of the Deep Sky deserves. One with actualwater.”
Skies above, that thought was a luscious one. Now that the beating of blood from the battle was easing, it moved downwards, settling heavily between my thighs. I’d only seen a glimpse of her face in the Vrika’s egg, but my mind ran rampant, imagining more of her. The way her brown hair would look drenched in heated water, steam billowing around her. Her smooth white skin laid bare on the brolka hides of my cave. Her thighs spread...
My cock thickened, and my stomach clenched. There were too many mysteries in that image. Too many parts of her I had no context for. I’d been with several Deep Sky women in the early days of my adulthood, but I could not use my experience of their anatomy to picture her. I’d only seen the face and the general shape of Lerokan’s mate under her odd clothing, so that did not help, either.
My tongues lashed my fangs, my throat tightening as I tried to put the puzzle of her together in my mind. What did the silken petals of her cunt look like? How tight would she be around me as I claimed her?
What would she look like, sound like, with my cock buried deep inside her?
The cock in question jerked. I raked my claws through my hair.It’s been far too long since I’ve had a woman.Yes, I had been with others, but I had ended all casual dalliances when I’d taken the title of Gahn. As Gahn, I wanted no other woman but the one who would serve at my side as my true, fated mate.
I’d been Gahn for nearly twelve ages, now. More than a thousand days of cold hides and an even colder cock. I’d ground my fangs, fisted my own shaft, and waited and hoped andbeggedfor the Vrika to come to me. I’d begged, even though such a thing was not befitting a mighty Gahn. I’d begged for my mate, my Gahnala. Begged for the sort of love my parents had had before me. The kind of love that carved a man’s life with the glorious blade of purpose.
I’d begged for peace. Even begged for agony.
The agony of love was better than the agony of loneliness.
But no more.
There would be no more waiting. No more shameful begging. No more wondering if I’d gone half-mad with longing for something that seemed ever out of reach.
She was within my reach, now.
At least, she would be very soon.
I leaped up onto Togo once more.
My mate was waiting for me beyond this hideous rock. Somewhere out there in all that shifting sand, she now ached the way I had ached for so long.
I will not let her ache. I will not let her feel even one claw’s tip of the pain I have endured without her.
I commanded Togo into the fastest flight of his life.
For I had no more time to lose.
