“Yeah, that.”
Fian couldn’t do anything about his color shifting to red.“It’s my work, you see.I make things for companies such as Demonic Designs.That’s where Zazine works.And they are rebuilding this Roman town, and for some reason, the Romans really liked dicks, so I made a bunch of them.They were fun to carve.”
Kai took the piece of wood in question off the mantle.“This is…hard.”He looked at Fian with a perfectly straight face.“I read up on octopi.I read your piece of wood is one of your arms?”
“That’s more for regular octopi.I have a skin fold.I would have shown you last time, but you were so sensitive and…” He shrugged.
Kai looked down at the carved cock, rubbing it firmly.“You really made me feel good.When I woke up that day—that’s today I guess—it was like a new part of my life was about to start.Or perhaps that’s too poetic.I just felt better than I had in a long time.”
“I made sure to undo some of the magic they had done to you as well, of course.”
Kai nodded.“I see.Thank you.What if I wanted to have sex with you again?”
Fian gasped.“What, now?After everything that happened?”
Kai sighed.“I don’t know.Do you think I should live like a monk for a while?Not touch anyone or let them touch me?”
“T-that’s not what I meant.Before, I maybe shouldn’t have, but you were so eager, but now, I—”
“What about what I want?”Kai asked, looking up from the cock.“I mean, unless you don’t want me.”
Fian was wrapped around Kai in moments, his tentacles coiling around the human before he could consider if that was wise.Kai gasped.
“I want you.I want you so much.I think I wanted you since the moment I walked into that store and saw you there.I know that only just happened, but the best things don’t need more time than a single meeting, a single glance.”
“Then let’s have dream sex again.I want to, okay?I really want to, and this time around, I actually believe it’s real.”Kai looked up at Fian, eyes like the most precious amber smoothed by the tides.“I want to see that skin fold.”
Another tremor ran through Fian’s tentacles.It’s him telling me to take off my pants all over again.
“Okay.In front of the fire?I read in a book that it’s really romantic, having sex in front of a fire.”
“I don’t know about that.Never tried it.Maybe I should.”
Fian nodded, and without letting go of Kai, he pulled a knit blanket, the duvet, and his pillow off his bed.Kai was laughing, but Fian remained focused, spreading everything out close to the dream fire.
Then he frowned.“I’m not sure it’s soft enough.”
Kai groaned.“I remember why I told you to take off your pants now.Come here.”
He reached for Fian’s hair and pulled him close.Fian was delighted and opened his mouth, tasted Kai, who clearly wanted to be tasted.
Whether it was Kai wiggling in Fian’s arms or Fian losing strength in them, the two of them ended up on the improvised bed, Fian looming over Kai, Kai chasing his lips when Fian tried pulling back to admire a treasure greater than anything on any sunken ship that lay sleeping on the ocean’s floor.
While he was still kissing, Kai tried taking off his sweater.He moaned with frustration when that didn’t work, and they broke apart.
“Hold this,” he told Fian and handed him the carved cock.
“I think we should put this here.”Fian placed it on a low table, one he’d made from leftover wood to hold his cup of coffee in the mornings.
Kai looked at it.“It’s watching over us.”
“You’re right.”
“Maybe that’s why the Romans had all those cocks around, because they liked being watched?”
“I don’t really know, but you can ask Zazine.She probably knows more about it.”
Kai gave him a mischievous grin.“I can’t talk to your friends about your dick, Fian.”
