The smile on my face makes my cheeks hurt. “I’m committed to making this work. Even if it means hiring a sitter and going to your place for date night.”
“But my place is so cruddy compared to yours.” He scratches his arm and looks away.
“Hey, no.” I point at him sternly. “You are too sexy to care about apartment sizes and finances. Way too sexy.” We crack up, and I take his hands. “I’m going to work on my time management and make this relationship work. I love you, Skyler Dillinger. So, what do you say? Want to be my kraken’s mate?”
After a tense moment, he nods and pulls me in, kissing me hard. His mouth was made for mine. Seconds later, he steps back and looks me up and down. “I guess I got my dream sea monster other half after all.”
“I’m yours, baby. Merry Christmas.”
Skyler squeezes my hands. “Merry Christmas, Reed. Let’s do this. A real relationship, all the way.”
And so we do. This holiday will forever be the date that Skyler and I consummated our love, and this kraken couldn’t be happier.
CHAPTER 18- REED
WAKING UP WITHSkyler Dillinger wrapped in my arms will never get boring. I’m stirring, barely awake, with him lying on my chest. My whole life I’ve barely slept while holding another person, perfectly content being alone. But Skyler is comforting, even making my sleeping life better. As I blink awake, it takes me a moment to remember where I am. Morning light streams through the window, but I don’t recognize the ceiling as ours.
That’s right, ours; it’s been five months since Christmas, and Skyler now lives with me and Aisen. His lease was up in March, and I all but begged him to stay with me. He was reluctant at first; I thought he’d happily want to leave his small apartment to stay with us rent-free. But I understood not wanting the financial constraints of such power dynamics in what is still our budding relationship. After a long talk, he decided to move in, insisting on paying for groceries and cleaning regularly to help out. Sure, my inner kraken may have convinced him by sweetening the pot with a tentacle massage that devolved into naughty times.
Speaking of horniness, my morning wood bobs against his thigh. Recalling that we have a schedule to maintain, I rub his back. “Sweetheart, we should get up.” We’re currently in a hotel bed in Alaska, cashing in on my gift for him. It’s my first ever couples’ getaway with a boyfriend, but he’s the only guy I’ve ever wanted to travel with. I don’t want to be away from Skyler for more than a few days, and that might be what love really is.
“Mmm…okay,” he mumbles against my chest.
He slowly gets up, but we both freeze when he notices my hard-on. I’m aware that waking up with an erection is a clinical phenom, but I’m always turned on by Skyler. When his sleepy gaze turns hungry, I know he feels the same way.
My boyfriend grins and grasps me, and I get harder still. I shiver and say, “Uh…but we…”
“Have a little time,” he purrs. He continues to stroke me, and sparks of pleasure fly up my spine.
“That…that is true…” I’m huffing now and thrusting against his palm. He feels so good, so right. We don’t get intimate every day, but being away from Mareflow makes me forget all about work and responsibilities.
Right now, I have my boyfriend working me over with the carnal pleasure only another man knows how to provide.
My eyes roll back, and I moan, so ready to let him finish me off. That is, until he stops. I let out an embarrassing whimper and say, “Wha…what?”
“You know what I want,” he says in a growly tone. He gazes at me with dangerous interest.
Meanwhile, my cock in his unmoving hand is so hard it’s almost painful. “What do you want?” I ask. When he rakes his gaze over me, I smile. “Oh, well, ask for it, baby,” I add.
He lets go and lies back. “Unleash the kraken,” he whispers in a dramatic tone.
I laugh and allow myself to shift. Skyler has to move slightly as my legs give way to six tentacles. Once I’m all purple, Skyler eyes me in delight.
A beat later, I move the fleshy hood of my tentacled body, revealing my hardness. My penis doesn’t grow in size or change shape in my monster form, but it is just as purple as the rest of me. And right now, it demands attention. After all, I was close to busting seconds ago.
“Yes,” Skyler hisses. He leaps back up and straddles me. When he grasps my hardness again, I wrap two tendrils around his bare torso. He’s so sexy, and my suckers love the saltiness of his skin. He jerks me off in earnest, delighting in my shifted form. I always felt self-conscious about my squid-like body, but falling in love with Skyler has changed everything in my world.
And right now, he’s rocking my world. The room is filled with the slick sounds of flesh on flesh, precum squishing as he strokes me faster. When I lift one tentacle up to his mouth, he greedily sucks it in. The inside of his cheek tastes so sweet, so right. I’ve never been this overwhelmed by all my tentacle tastebuds, but I’ve also never loved anyone like I love this man.
“Fuuhhh…” My eyes roll back again as I instinctively play with my nipples. It’s all too much, the pleasure between my thighs and on all my tentacles.
Skyler strokes faster, and seconds later, it happens. I squeeze my nipples, wrap his torso harder, shove one tentacle into his mouth, and arch my back. At the same time, Skyler pulls my orgasm out of me. How white pleasure blinds me as I’m lost in the thicket of my climax. I shoot and shoot, and my boyfriend mutters obscene words around the tentacle in his mouth.
Damn. My boyfriend knows how to please my inner kraken. In seconds, I’m drenched in semen, and I’m happily spent.
But not spent enough to ignore my man. After a beat, I easily move Skyler around with my tendrils. He’s lying on the bed, and I’m crouched over him. My man laughs as he knows what’s coming. Two of my tentacles proceed to caress his ears and mouth.
“Did you really think I wasn’t going to return the favor after the way you worked me over?” I growl and kiss his nipple.
