“I will have the hover stretcher come down here, and I will take him back to my clinic and keep him sedated until we can talk to his blood rose,” I tell the two of them.
Nixie nods, looking resigned, but Caspian still looks confused. “What is wrong? The two of you look like this is a bad thing. What aren’t you mentioning?”
“Because his blood rose is Lila, Cas,” I tell him gently. “Isn’t it?” I ask Nixie, and she nods.
“Yes, she was hiding from him in the bottom of the pool, but she’s in our grotto at the moment. Nikos is with her, but she needs someone to tell her about being his blood rose and what it entails.”
“Can she survive that?” Caspian asks me, sounding shaky.
“I’m not sure. Like you said, there has never been a non-Vilaxian blood rose, or not that I’ve heard of. I will scan my data banks in search of more information as well as Vilaxian archives, which might have more,” I tell him, inputting the instructions into my screen so my computers back in my clinic can start the search.
“Come on, I’ve programmed the stretcher to make its way down here. Let’s go check on Lila while we wait.”
As we walk down the stairs, Nixie tells us about her brother telling Saxon the same things Caspian had told him, and we’re chuckling when we get to the bottom of the stairs. We stop the minute we step out onto the platform and find Lila with a tentacle wrapped around Nikos’s erect cock, with what looks like iridescent cum all over her chest.
A look of pure dismay crosses her face as she meets my eyes. “This is not what it looks like.”
I look at Caspian, who is wearing the same grin of amusement that creeps across my face at the humorous sight.
“Looks like a good time to me,” Caspian says, and I can’t stop the burst of laughter from exploding from my mouth. Nixie groans as she slaps a hand over her eyes.
“Fucking hell, Nikos. What did you do?”
“Nothing, I did nothing. We were talking, and then Lila grabbed my cock. You said she had to initiate things, so who am I to say no if she wants to stroke my glorious manhood?”
Caspian and I laugh harder as Lila tries desperately to pull away from him, but it doesn’t have the effect she wants it to. Nikos groans again, the sound of pleasure making my own cock move inside my pants.
“Don’t just stand there, help me!” she screeches at us. Her eyes widen in frustration but then turn helpless when she realizes we haven’t moved to assist her.
“Oh, Lila, my little crustacean. If you want your men to join in, that is okay with me. I don’t mind rough male hands playing with my anal slit.”
Nixie screams in disgust and dives into the water, changing. Her tail sends up a splash of water as she dives deep in an attempt to get away from her brother’s sexcapades. The dress she was wearing floats on the surface of the water.
“I can’t get my tentacle to unwrap no matter what I do.” Her desperate pleas stop our laughter in its tracks. “I was just trying to stop his advances by putting my tentacle against his chest, but the damn thing had other ideas.”
We get a hold of our laughter, but I can see it’s as much of a struggle for Caspian as it is for me. She said she was trying to stop his advances, though, so we shouldn’t let this continue.
“I think maybe you may have an inner beast after all. Although you can’t make a full shift, it seems to have taken a liking to the Aquilian and is showing it in the only way it can. Whereas my beast and I can communicate within our mind, it seems you have yet to accomplish that, so it is taking over as much as it can,” Caspian explains as he moves over and uses his hand to unwrap Lila’s tentacle from Nikos’s boner.
“No matter how I tried to move forward to use my own hands, it was like I was stuck in one place. I had control of my upper half, but my lower half was not responding at all, and I couldn’t get close enough to remove my tentacle,” she says as he succeeds. Without another word, she drags her body away using just her arms and allows herself to fall into the water, disappearing just like Nixie did.
“Are you going to finish what she started?” Nikos’s question has me looking away from Lila and back to him and Caspian, whose hand is still wrapped around his erect dick. He releases it and pats him on the shoulder.
“Not this time.”
Nikos’s lip juts out in a pout before he shrugs his shoulders. “Never mind. Lila was enough, but I can’t wait to have those pretty lips wrapped around my member,” he comments as he turns and points to Lila’s mating mark, which has appeared on his shoulder. “She is not as indifferent to me as she appears.”
“I guess that takes her to five,” I tell Caspian, who nods but frowns at Nikos. A small hint of worry prickles the back of my mind. Is there going to be enough room in Lila’s heart for me? I quickly shake it off. Lila has shown a huge capacity for love just by accepting what happened between her and Caspian, so I’m sure everything will be fine.
“You just make sure if you do anything with her, you tell her everything she needs to know about having sex with you in either form. She has had enough surprises within the last week, and she needs to know everything so she doesn’t get hurt.” Caspian’s lighthearted tone becomes sterner at the end, his protectiveness over his mate overruling any niceties.
“I promise I will tell her everything. She is pregnant with your young, yes? She will need lots of dick to keep her hormones happy, and I’m ready and willing to help out.” I half expect Nikos to fall to his knees and beg Caspian to let him participate in keeping Lila sated. Thankfully, he maintains a shred of decency and keeps it together.
“Settle down. Link is courting her tonight, and we need to sort out the deal with Saxon. If Lila desires to pursue a sexual relationship, you will get your chance, I will make sure of it.”
Nikos flashes his sharp teeth at us in a threatening manner. “Make sure you do.” My eyebrow quirks at his response, because I doubt Lila would take kindly to Nikos threatening her mate or demanding a turn with her body.
“How about you deal with the vampire, and I will take Lila back to our place and put her in a bath, then she can have a nap before her date with you tonight?” Caspian suggests.
