I lift my face into his, kissing him back. For a second, Dante hesitates, but then he curls his hand around the back of my head and presses his lips into mine. I let my tongue sweep his mouth, and a deep purr comes from him, making both of us vibrate.
He mirrors my action and slips his tongue between my lips. For a moment, I think I lose all track of time. Kissing Dante is heavenly, what with the subtle spice of his scales, his hand in my hair, and the way his lips touch mine. Our tongues tangle and I gasp for air.
“Dante! Your tongue! You have two!”
He grins at me, poking the forked tongue out from between his lips where he twists the ends together and then unravels them.
“Two is better than one,” he rasps. “Now I want to mate your mouth more.”
Before I can respond, his lips are back on mine, and I’m taken away in another pleasurable kiss where his double tongue wraps around mine, caressing and gently exploring the rest of my mouth until he finally releases me to come up for air.
“You are a great kisser.”
“Kizz-er?” Dante cocks his head on one side. “You mean the mouth mating? I saw Darax do it to his mate.”
“You learnt all that from seeing Darax kiss Kerra?”
“He tried to hide it, but I saw what he did.” Dante gives me a brief, sweet smile. “And now I know why he hid it. It is extremely good.”
“So, you haven’t kissed before?”
Dante shakes his head slowly from side to side. “I did not get the lessons the others did, but I do not recall seeing mated pairs doing thiskizz.”
“And I’m the first female you have kissed?”
Dante pulls me against him. “If you’ll have me, you’ll be the first female I have mated with.”
DANTE
Ilikekizzingwith Rosalie a lot. I could kizz with her for a very long time, but I am afraid I might run out of saliva and use accelerant instead.
She stares up at me, one hand on my chest where it feels like it’s burning my scales, but in a good way, and the other resting on her thigh.
A scent rises from her, better than anything I’ve ever had the fortune to smell. It is absolute perfection, and it makes me want tokizzher in places other than her mouth. Like on the creamy skin of her inner thighs, where there were no scales and where my eyes were constantly drawn.
“You’ve never mated before?” Rosalie queries.
“I was appointed to this command straight out of my warrior training. There was no time for mating, not once we’d lost our planet and were attempting to reclaim our place in our original galaxy.”
“But you had females on board. All the ships did until you came through the worm hole.”
I block out the sounds, the ones which haunt all our unconscious thoughts, the loss of our females.
“We did, but our ship had relatively few. Those who were on board were responsible for tending to the sarkarnlings in stasis.”
“About the children,” Rosalie says. “I think they would benefit with mixing with your crew. And I think your crew would benefit from possibly a little more structure…”
She squeezes up her face strangely as she says these things. I’m not entirely sure I like what she’s doing so I lean in and give her anotherkizz.
Rosalie blinks up at me with big eyes which are the most beautiful color, a bright blue like the inside of a nebula.
“I have no experience with sarkarnlings, save when I was one,” I reply.
“I mean, I don’t know much about kids, not really, but I can’t imagine many children who don’t benefit from being part of a wider society, and I think your warriors would benefit too.”
I think for a while.
“I agree. It would give them something else to do. It would force them to control themselves for a while, with or without the narcotics. I know my warriors, and no warrior would ever harm a sarkarnling.”
