“Of course he did,” she says, shaking her head. “Nowhere I could be safer indeed.” I tilt my head at her curiously. “I’ll explain later.”
“Davix,” she says softly, turning to him, “I’m sorry. I think we need to talk.”
“First, there is something we must tell you,” I say. I glance at Krish and Davix, and they both nod at me. “Davix heard what you said to Slade,” I say with a sigh. “And I think we understand, but we cannot change what we have done in the past.”
Corrina looks at me strangely. “What are you talking about?”
“You said you would not to be with someone who was able to breed, to fuck, without emotional commitment. We bred with many females, but we never formed emotional bonds with them. It just wasn’t our way.”
Corrina still looks confused. “I know that. Why would you be telling me this? We’ve talked about the differences in procreation and sexual attraction between our species. It might be strange for me to wrap my mind around sometimes, but I understand. I do.”
I let out a relieved breath. “Then perhaps you will also understand that if you were to be our female, we would never seek another.”
“I, what?”
“If you were to be our female, we would never seek another. We are too old for breeding, but we still would not want to be intimate in that way with others. We have only ever wanted you.”
“I think I need to sit down,” Corrina says suddenly, and Davix scoops her up into his arms with one hand behind her knees andanother supporting her back. He carries her over to a couch and sits down, settling her in his lap.
“Are you well?” Krish asks, worriedly. “Do you need something to eat or drink? Do you need medicine for pain?”
“I, no,” Corrina says, glancing down at Davix’s hand on her thigh as he holds her in his lap. “When you say ‘our female’ what do you mean? Like I would be like a broodmate to you? A sibling?”
Davix’s emphatic no almost dislodges Corrina from his lap, and she squeaks in surprise. It is adorable.
“This is all new for us,” Krish says, sitting beside Davix. “We do not form bonds between partners the way that humans do.”
“Not usually,” I add, sitting on Davix’s other side. “But we have formed an attachment to you that is different. That makes us feel and want more.”
“If you would let us, we want to touch you. And have you touch us. For pleasure. For sex.”
“You’re interested in a relationship with me that is sexual in addition to emotional? All three of you?” Corrina says cautiously.
“Of course,” I say quickly. “We are brood brothers. We have always shared everything. If that is something you would want.”
Corrina stares at me for a minute and then she begins to laugh. “This is real, right? It’s not an effect of some medication Wenschel gave me?”
I reach out to take her hand and Krish strokes his fingers through her hair. “I cannot say if you are experiencing side effects from some medicine, but we are here and we are real. Will you consider if you would want such a relationship with us?’
“No,” Corrina says, shaking her head, and there is a sudden, sharp ache in my chest. “I don’t have to consider it,” she adds, hurriedly. “The answer is yes, yes I want to try a relationship with you.” She turns in his lap to face him, bringing one hand up to touch the side of Davix’s face. “I didn’t run away from you because I don’t want you,” she says softly. “I just needed space because I didn’t know how I could possibly choose to be with one of you if you all felt the same. And because I didn’t want to risk our friendship, our relationship, for something that was just sexual. You mean too much to me to risk losing that.”
“You make me feel,” Davix signs, and I quickly translate for him just to be sure that Corrina understands.
“You make all of us feel things we have never experienced before,” Krish adds. “It is strange, but we all want more.”
“So, what happens now?” Corrina asks softly.
“We will make a proper nest so that you have somewhere to rest,” I tell her. “And, if you are sure it is what you want, maybe we will practice touching.”
The sweet, ripe scent that I have grown to love blooms as Corrina’s breathing speeds up ever so slightly. “I’m sure,” she breathes.
Chapter Forty-Five: Davix
I hold Corrina in my lap, her legs draped across mine, while Krish and Zann build a nest. She leans against me in a way that is both familiar and brand new. I curl one arm around her waist and pull her closer to me, brushing my mouth against her neck. She shivers slightly and leans into me, and I let my tongue slide across her skin. A soft moan escapes her lips, but she seems to enjoy my attention, so I do it again. “Davix,” she whispers.
I feel an ache in my cock sheath and instinctively pull her harder against me, grinding my hips against her. She moans again, and her scent deepens. “Can I kiss you?” she asks, turning her face to me. I have seen kissing in videos, but it is a strange idea to me. But if Corrina wants it, then I will try it. I nod at her eagerly. She brings her hands to my face and stares at me for a long time, and I start to wonder if she has changed her mind. But then she leans forward, closes her eyes, and presses her mouth to mine. Her lips are soft and warm as they move against mine. I feel her tongue slide against my lips, pressing them open. I pull back from her reluctantly and point at my sharp fangs. I do not want to hurt her, even unintentionally. “Then you better kiss me,” shesays, bringing her mouth to mine again. I feel her lips part, and I tentatively slide my tongue forward to meet hers.
As I begin to explore her warm, wet mouth, my body responds enthusiastically. I feel my cock hardening inside my sheath, threatening to emerge. And Corrina continues kissing me, alternating sucking on my tongue and teasing it with her own. My hearts are racing and I am breathing hard when she pulls back.
