We turned to face Ilk and Vitri, and I crossed my arms over my chest, ready for Vitri to make another smart-ass comment about how looking for the other girls was his idea all along.The jerk was still grinning at me, and we stared at each other for a beat until I lost the ability to maintain my anger at him and almost slipped a smile.
Ilk spoke up, his voice deep and gravelly, “We’ll make a plan,” he said and approached Erica with heavy steps and grabbed her upper arm with surprising gentleness, considering his size, before steering her away.“But I need to talk to you first.”
Erica didn’t object and followed Ilk into the forest until they disappeared from view.
I sunk back against the trees, and Vitri came and sat next to me.“Are you okay?”
Shuddering, I wrapped my arms around myself.“The idea that the Ghaal had her, and they could have…” I choked past the words, unable to finish the sentence.A growl rumbled through Vitri’s chest, and I studied his face.I already missed the smirk he usually wore.“That means they’re close, right?They could have grabbed me?”
It felt selfish to ask, but the fear clutching at me from the inside forced the thoughts of self-preservation into my mind.While the fear had been a constant companion since I was taken, being faced with the idea of the Ghaal so close increased it into a ball of vulnerability.
Vitri stood and held his hand out to me.“Come.”
“Where are we going?”I asked.Even as I took his hand, his green palm was as smooth as velvet in mine.He didn’t answer, and I didn’t repeat my question, instead following him through the trees, heading back behind the location of the tree house instead of away from the entrance.The forest thickened here, and Vitri moved expertly through the trees.I stuck close to him, following his path and watching only his large back in front of me.He never let go of my hand, and when the trees opened up into a clearing, I gasped.Vitri chuckled.There was a small break in the trees, creating a private nook where what was left of the day’s sunlight streamed through the gaps in the treetops and highlighted the bed of flowers that grew.
I looked between them and Vitri.“These flowers look the same as the ones that grow on your vines.”
Whether he did it consciously or not, Vitri picked one of the flowers from the vine that wrapped around his arms and dropped it.“All these flowers are part of the same plant, a giant root system that takes up almost the entire forest.”He sighed heavily and had a dopey smile on his face that was almost cute.“It’s all one being, one life form, one system, and I’m a part of that system now.”
He sunk into the flower bed, and I followed suit, reluctant to squash the beauty by sitting on it, but sighing with him as I did.They were soft like feathers on a duckling, and I brushed my hands across them.
“Can I kiss you?”Vitri asked, and I held his gaze.
“Why?”
His jaw tightened as he clenched it.“Erica was almost taken from my brother, and the idea of losing you…”
“Will a kiss keep me safe?”I whispered with a flicker of a grin as Vitri shifted closer to me until we were side by side.
“It will remind me that you’re still here and safe with me.”I released a squeak when he sharply pulled me next to him with an arm around my waist.“As long as you’re with me, I’ll never let anything happen to you.”
“Promise?”It was childish to ask him to promise such a thing, but I leaned into his touch when his fingers brushed against my cheek.Maybe I should let him protect me.
“Promise.”
When he reached for me, I didn’t stop him, and his large hand cupped my cheek seconds before his lips found mine.The position was awkward, given our size difference, and before he got too into the kiss, I kneeled and straddled his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him before he could put too much thought into the change of position.His tongue sought access to my mouth, and I parted my lips to play my tongue against his, moaning into his touch as his hands trailed down my back.
With a grunt, he pulled my body flush with his, and I groaned against his lips when I realized he was hard.I couldn’t help it, and I began grinding my hips against his length, needing the friction against my aching clit.He hadn’t made me any underwear, and his loin cloth offered no protection, slipping easily to the side so I could slide his length between my pussy lips.Vitri growled, sudden and loud, making me jump, but his fingers gripped my hips and continued rocking me across his length, the bump of the head of his cock hitting my clit, making me moan.
As we deepened the kiss, I opened my eyes, startled by the new sensation as Vitri’s vines unwound themselves from his body and wrapped around my torso.
“Vitri.”I gasped, and he responded only by gripping my chin and pulling me back into the kiss.
“I won’t ever hurt you,” he mumbled against my lips, and I nodded, allowing his tongue back into my mouth as he bound me next to him.The grip of his fingers on my hips was almost painful as he ground me against his length, and my breathing came in pants as my peak neared.
“Vitri, you need to stop, I’m going to…”
My eyes rolled back as he thrust forward, grinding his hips against mine, increasing the friction.“Do you really want me to stop, Tori?Or do you want to come on my cock?”
“Oh fuck…”
He hummed his satisfaction.“You’re so sensitive, aren’t you?I don’t even need to penetrate you to make you come.I could have some fun with you.I could make you feel so good, but only when you want me back.”
I couldn’t concentrate enough to maintain the kiss.My lips stilled next to his, and he continued exploring my lips, fucking his tongue into my mouth as he sped up with the movement of my hips.
I was ready—my peak was right there.
Crying his name, I gripped his shoulders as I came, my legs trembling as I gripped his thighs between mine.His vines snaked around my torso when I collapsed against him, the strangeness of the situation lost on me in my bliss.I sighed against his shoulder, and his cock twitched underneath me.
