Verrik reached out and wrapped itself around Elsie’s arm. It clung on tightly, and I held my breath, but it seemed content to smooth its way up her skin and under the hem of her shirt. “That’s enough, Verrik,” I said out loud, and the tentacle pulled back a little. Hmm, it seemed to like the human too. We were almost all in agreement, which never happened.
I pulled them back to me and slid farther away so they couldn’t slither their way back to her and Ukobach. “That’s the crew, except Hecto.”
“Horny Hecto,” Ukobach said with a chuckle, and I couldn’t disagree.
We were silent for a bit, and I could tell Elsie was thinking. “Can you change forms? It’s going to be hard to search with you looking like that.” She indicated my tentacles and my deep red skin.
I shifted to a paler, almost pink color, which wasn’t quite human colored but enough to pass. I also drew the tentacles in until they were only six inches long. “This is the best I can do. They don’t like being small for super long periods though.”
Korvus was already starting to bitch in the back of my brain. She looked down at my legs. “You have legs? Not to sound likeTheLittle Mermaid, but I thought we were going to have to make a deal with the sea witch for a bit.” She slapped a hand over her mouth. “Although maybe that would be offensive to your people?”
“My people?”
She shook her head, her cheeks bright red again, redder than my skin was right now. “Never mind, we can make this work.” She smiled at me, and it was like the sun coming up after a year of darkness. How did Ukobach stand it? “Let’s have some coffee and work out a plan. Maybe we can walk around the thin space between Hell and Earth.” She raised an eyebrow at my tentacles. “I mean, how far could a dick really get?”
CHAPTER
FOUR
HECTO
Smells so good.
Sex.
Sex.
Yes.
“Welcome back to Boatyard. You remember the rules. No phones, no filming, and respect people’s boundaries and limits. Blindfolds are mandatory in blackout rooms. If you are found flaunting the rules, it’s an immediate expulsion, and you will be banned from the establishment. Got it?”
“Sure thing, Frank,” a female voice replied. Hecto wanted to hang around, but the scent of lust coming from beneath the door was too much to resist.
Fuck, Krax. This is where we are meant to be.
Avoiding feet and keeping close to the wall, Hecto moved toward the strong scent.
Release. Pleasure.
Hecto ached.
“I fucking love blackout night. There’s something so fucking freeing about losing your sense of sight. Just touch, taste, and sound.” A groan. “I’m heading into the first room now. Want to come?”
“You don’t attend the Boatyard unless you wanna come, Jake.” Laughter. “I’m gonna grab a drink first. I’ll meet you later?”
Touch. Taste. Sound.Yes.
Hecto followed the movement of the one named Jake, shrinking and attaching to the back of his pants. They were heavy leather, like a demon’s wing.
He stopped, but Hecto was writhing with excitement now. It could taste the lust on the air with its feelers. Sliding under the door, Hecto was swamped in a thick cloud of pheromones, and it almost curled up into a ball just to soak it in.
Sex. Fucking finally.
