"Worrying is useless," Axel said. "I usually ask myself what's the worst thing that could happen, and then I ask myself if I would have any control over it if it did. If not, then it's not worth worrying about."

"Like the dragon," I said. "If they decided to kill us all, there's nothing I could do about it."

"Exactly."

That was only one of the three scenarios, but it was one less to stress over.

"Last question." Axel stripped off his boxers. His uncut cock bounced against his abdomen as it caught in the waistband and sprang free.

I'd seen plenty of alpha peen since I'd been here. Kobolds didn't have the same prudish rules as humans. Was it rude to say Axel had the average alpha cock, if it was true? It lookedlike every other cock I'd seen, from Coz's to Weld's and everyone in between who had been standing naked in the field on Reemergence Day.

The difference was, Axel's cock lay inches from mine, and it was thick and beautiful and pointed right at me. I couldn't resist wrapping my fingers around it and giving him a stroke from root to tip. Then, I scooped up his precome with my thumb and smeared it around his foreskin.

"What's something you have experienced sexually that you'd like to experience again?" I asked. Our firsts were off the table for tonight, and we'd talked about blowjobs, but I wanted to know if there was anything else.

"With you?" He grinned. "I don't want to sound like a slut, but I've done everything I could do with you with my human girlfriend."

"Rimming?" I asked, and he nodded.

"And anal. My girlfriend before Rosanna wanted to be a porn star. She walked me through everything. Strangest two months of my life."

He looked as embarrassed as I felt, so I cut him a break and cupped his cheek to line up for a kiss. It started chaste, only a brush of lips, but then he grabbed my hip. Our cocks bumped against each other through the fabric of my magical shorts, and I opened for him on a gasp. He kissed me long and deep as we rutted together.

"Wait," I gasped between breaths. "I need to take these off and answer the question."

He backed off a few inches to give me room. "I didn't exactly answer the question," he said as I stripped. "I'd really like to rim you tonight."

How could I turn that down? My hole was already slick enough to drip down my balls. "I'd like that, too," I said. "First, I'd like to introduce myself to your cock."

He drew his finger down my cock from my tip to my balls. He met my gaze and nodded. "I'd' love that."

Somehow, this was still taking it slow enough that my pulse didn't spike at the thought. I trusted Axel with everything I'd just told him, and with my body. I was ready for this next step.

Chapter 12

Axel

Kissing Tuft was unlike anything I'd done before. Our mouths fit together perfectly, and our bodies lined up as we closed the gap between us on the bed. I didn't know how his sharp teeth would fit around my cock, but I already trusted him with my sensitive tongue.

When Tuft started to move down my body, I rolled onto my back to give him room and nudged him playfully, hoping he would let me eat him out at the same time. He turned his perfectly peach-shaped ass toward me, and I ogled the yellow scales across his thighs, the same color as mine, and his gorgeous globes. Between his legs, the shine of his slick invited me to taste. I licked up his thigh, along the back of his balls, and down the other side. He tasted like sunflowers and meadow grass, but the closer I got to his rim, the more he tasted like musk.

He startled me with his sharp claws extended at my hips, holding me in place. I jolted when he lapped at my tip with his raspy tongue. It felt so good, and I wanted more.

I wanted to give him, more, too. I focused on licking and sucking his tight ring of muscle open. Soon, my face wasdripping with slick, and he was making the most glorious noises I'd ever heard around my cock.

I inserted two fingers alongside my tongue, and Tuft froze above me, his cock spurting hot white stripes of cum on my chest. He was so gorgeous like that, his mouth still around my cock, his whole body shaking above me. I rolled us onto our sides again so I could better reach his cock while he continued to suck mine. I didn't notice anything different from mine, beyond it being a little shorter and wider, with no telltale signs my mate had delivered two eggs before I arrived.

Mate. My jaw ached with the desire to claim him. Instead, I licked him clean as my pleasure continued to build with each slide of his mouth on my cock.

His cock had rebounded, too, so I took him as far into my mouth as I could, swallowing around the head. Tuft took that as a challenge and did the same. His throat constricted around my cock so tight, I saw stars as I came.

Tuft followed behind me, his spunk hot and bitter on my tongue. I couldn't get enough.

"You never answered the question," I reminded him. "What's something you want to experience again?"

"More blowjobs." He grinned. "Thank you. I … we said no firsts tonight, but that's my first sixty-nine."

"I was here, wasn't I?" We were still lying with our faces in each other's groins, and I leaned to give him another quick peck to his tip. "I've never been happier to be a kobold."
