Mostly because my flight lungs also seem to be affected by the rush of blood to my cock. Fortunately the distance we need to travel is not great, and as soon as I’m on the ground again, I’m shifting back, dropping Maggie to her feet and shoving my cock back into its pouch.
Whether it will stay there is entirely another question. It is a needy part of my anatomy, and it wants to be buried in her. I want to be buried in her ripe little body, one which is growing our sarkarnling. I need her like I need my flight lungs.
But I don’t want to be envenomated either.
This is going to be one of my trickier missions.
“This isn’t looking too positive,” Maggie says, peering around the small clearing I’ve brought her to.
“I would agree.” We walk towards the towering foliage which surrounds us. “Fortunately, before sanity deserted him, I was able to get the secrets of this place from Deus.”
“Deus? Darax’s brother?”
“The very same.”
“The one who’d chew your head off as soon as look at you, the one who used to have this sector as his own?”
“Yes.”
“The one who went missing and hasn’t been seen since.”
“That is Deus.”
“So, we’re in his quadrant, using his stuff, and he’ll kill you as soon as look at you?”
“I’d like to see him try,” I snarl. “Deus may strike fear into the hearts of his enemies but not me.”
He was a much misunderstood warlord after all. As I am. TheButcher of Haldaneindeed.
“Because you’re such a big, bad Sarkarnii?” Maggie calls after me.
“I am a Sarkarnii who always keeps his word.”
I push aside the vegetation to reveal the place she has said she wants to see. I expect to hear some sort of noise from her, something to tell me I’ve done well. But instead there is nothing. I expect to find her by my side, staring at the wonders I’ve revealed.
But there is nothing.
Eventually, I look over my shoulder. Maggie is glaring at me, possibly with her fangs bared a little.
“You mean to tell me, all the time we were messing around in the cave, this was here?”
“I thought you would like the cave. You liked the waterfalls outside my sector.”
Maggie raises her gaze to the sky, like there is something above us, and releases a big lungful of breath.
“Fucssake,” she says incomprehensibly. “No human female loves a cave, Driok. And those waterfalls were about as far from that grotty cave as possible.”
I fear I am a step closer to envenomation. But I will not be deterred.
“Then I have found you something better.” I give Maggie the benefit of my fangs.
She sniffs, strolls forward, past me and into the little kingdom which has always been a favorite spot of mine, when I get half a chance to get away from dealing with the protection of Vorostor.
Something I am more than happy my little mate is taking me away from at this very moment. Even if I think I’m going to be lucky not to be envenomated by the end of the nova-day.
I follow Maggie as she descends into the area Deus showed me many nova-years ago. There is a pool, like the one near my sector, and a waterfall surrounded by active ferns. He also set up quarters for himself, nestled into the rock. They contain all we need to stay here for as long as we want.
If only I’d known my little mate didn’t want the full-on wilderness experience when she suggested she didn’t want to go to my sector, I’d have brought her here straight away.
