“Let’s get back on topic. Marduk would be even happier if you were naked. Or at least didn’t have pants. I can promise no one will bother us. Everyone here is much too polite to walk past the warning I’ve set up.”
“I don’t…um,” she whispered. “We really shouldn’t.”
“Have you ever fucked under the stars, Bec?” he whispered in her ear. “Didn’t you tell me you wanted adventure?”
Danzig couldn’t see her face, but I watched her expression go from worry to want, and then neediness. When her expression settled on determined, I was worried she was about to say no.
“If we do this, it doesn’t mean anything,” she said, toeing out of her shoes. Then she reached down to undo her jeans. “I’m not saying I belong to you or anything.”
Even though her words upset me, Danzig maintained his composure.
“Certainly,” Danzig said smoothly, rubbing a hand on me to help me cope with Bec’s dismissal of our feelings. “We’re all consenting adults enjoying each other.”
“Consenting serpents and a human," she muttered under her breath.
She isn't rejecting us,Danzig reminded me.She's setting boundaries. It's her right.
I knew that, but I didn't have to like it.
Danzig helped steady her on me as she wiggled out of her jeans, her panties going with them. The clothing fell to the side, and my beautiful mate shivered a little from the cool evening air.
I focused on warming myself up, giving her a more comfortable bed.
“Is it just me,” she said, trying to sit back up after basically laying down with her head on Danzig’s thigh to get her pants off, “or did Marduk suddenly get hotter?”
“He’s trying to keep you warm,” Danzig explained, then put a hand on her shoulder to keep her from sitting back up. “Stay there.”
“What?” she said, going still, her heels tucked up against her ass, and her knees pressed tightly together. “Why?”
“For access,” Danzig purred to her as I delicately ran my tongue over her foot, then up her shin. She shivered and licked her lips when I got to her knee.
“He couldn’t want to do that, could he?” she asked, her words a little jumbled.
“Part your legs,” Danzig said. “And find out.”
I petted her knee with my tongue, making sure to show her how dexterous my forked tongue could be.
Her lips parted, and I heard her heartbeat kick up. I withdrew my tongue from her knee and watched her move with tantalizing slowness. She stretched her legs out and parted them, but only a little bit, then froze.
I could feel her hesitation. She wanted this but was scared. I could understand.
Tell her I can feel if she doesn’t like something. That I’d stop right away,I told Danzig.Tell her I love her and would never hurt her.
She relaxed and flashed a smile at me before Danzig said anything.
“I know you wouldn’t hurt me on purpose,” she murmured. “It's only that you have those really big fangs folded up in your mouth. They’re a little intimidating.”
I opened my mouth wide and let my fangs drop down. Her eyes went wide, then her mouth dropped open as I focused on shrinking my fangs until they were nothing but little nubs. It took some effort, but her reaction was worth it.
“I didn’t know you could do that!” she exclaimed.
“We can make any part of our anatomy any size you’d like,” Danzig said as I flicked my tongue back out and circled it around her ankle. “If you tell us what you want, we can make ourselves fit it.”
I could feel it when she understood Danzig’s implication. Her body jerked a little, and she let out a nervous chuckle.
“I guess that’s good to know,” she said.
My tongue was still wrapped around her ankle. I tugged without any force, urging her to relax and straighten her leg.
