Elodie laughs, and I attempt to smile in return—my first. She strokes my mouth claws and the edges of my mouth slit, taking care to avoid my teeth.
“I know Krijese cannot smile the way humans can. I hope mine does not cause you fear.”
The wrinkle between her furred brow bones appears. “Why would your smile scare me? Even the first time I saw you when you rescued me from that trap, I wasn’t afraid of you. I think your smile is beautiful, because I know when I see it, it meansyou’re happy. Nothing in this world brings me more joy than to know you’re happy. I welcome any smiles you give me.”
“I love and cherish you, my sivalla.”
Elodie smiles brightly up at me. “I love you, too. Now, how about you get naked as well. I want to see all the yummy goodness you keep hidden under there.”
A second rough laugh scrapes across my throat. “As my mate commands.”
I rise to my knees and remove my leg coverings, while Elodie watches ever move I make. When I’ve freed my cock, her eyes widen.
“Holy fuck,” she rasps in a harsh whisper.
Does she like what she sees? Am I so different from a human? What if I cannot please her? “Is my cock too different?”
Elodie huffs and lifts her gaze to mine. “Your cock is perfect from what I can tell. I’m already soaking wet from the view alone.”
Her praise hardens me even more and I can feel my knot swell slightly. When she reaches out and runs her fingers around the bulging base I groan with pure pleasure.
“What is this?” she asks.
“Do human males not possess a knot?”
“Um, no.” Elodie licks her lips and mating fluid leaks from my tip. “What does it do?”
I take myself in hand and stroke up and down my length, paying special attention to my knot at its base. “It swells when I reach my peak and spill my seed inside you, locking us together. Wewill remain connected until it eventually shrinks and then I will be able to withdraw from your cunt.”
“Oh my god.” Elodie shudders.
“Does that worry you? I have been assured it will fit.”
She chokes out a laugh. “I have no doubt you will. In fact, I’m hoping it’s a snug one.”
Chapter 24
Elodie
Nothing had prepared me for the sight of Ortak’s cock. I can’t say I’m mad either. He’s long and thick and while the knot at the base of it is a smidge intimidating at first glance, my pussy throbs in anticipation of what it’ll feel like stretching me. A shiver rolls down my spine as I imagine how fucking tight the fit will be.
I lay back and beckon him to come to me. My chest rises and falls, and slickness runs out of me. I’ve never been more aroused. Ortak’s gaze travels over me, heating each inch of my flesh. I let him look his fill just as I had him. I may not be the first human he’s seen naked, but our coming together will be because of love, not hate.
“Touch me, please.”
Ortak starts with my breasts. He gently kneads them, plucking and tugging on my nipples. A heavy tension settles low in my belly. My clit throbs with need.
“You are the most beautiful female I have ever seen.” The reverence in his voice ramps up my arousal to another level. Has anyone ever looked at me with such adoration? Such longing? Such love?
“I love you, my sivalla,” Ortak says as though reading my mind.
“I love you, too.”
He grows bolder. More persuasive. He draws out my pleasure with every touch, bringing my release closer to the surface. Another flick against my sensitive nipple makes me gasp in pleasure. It’s still not enough though.
“More,” I beg.
Ortak gives it to me. He lowers his head and laves my breast with his tongue. Its mate is given the same pleasure. Slowly, he licks his way down my stomach but doesn’t go any lower, and I practically whimper with the denial.
