“What do youwantto do?”

“Turn the boat around and go back there. Beg his forgiveness for sending mixed signals. Maybe try again to get him to fuck my brains out—if I can manage it without freaking out this time.”

“One, they’re probably on or close to Maki Island by now, so I don’t recommend chasing his boat. Two, you’re allowed to change your mind and say no. I’m glad he backed off and didn’t pressure you, so points to him.”

“Well, I did break his dick, so…”

Echo chuckled. “I doubt it’s broken.”

“Good thing shifters heal fast.” He frowned. “I assume they heal fast since we do but maybe not. Seeing them half-shift today was wild.”

“Right? I’m so jealous of that. I want to half shift.”

“What else is different?”

“They don’t have slits in human form.”

“I noticed,” Diego murmured.

Echo eyed him.

“I didn’t mean to look, but I lifted my head at the wrong moment. Right after Maelstrom had whipped off his trunks, and it was just… there. Or rather…theywere just there.” Diego glanced at Echo. “Is that an orca thing? Two cocks?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t ask him.” Echo smiled. “But Icantell you that they can shift their cocks and just their cocks.”

Diego frowned.

“They can be fully human with a prehensile orca cock. And then switch it to human while it’s inside you.”

“I’m going to skip that first one because I think my brain just exploded, but… why switch it to human? Human cocks are smaller.”

“Well, orca cock isn’t as…firm… because of its need to be flexible.”

“Ahhhh,true,” Diego said, grinning. “If you want to get railed, you need a hard shaft to do it. I need to be ridden hard and rough or I’m not coming.”

Echo stretched out his palm. Diego smacked it.

Diego scoffed. “I need to be ridden hard and rough—but I kneed Havoc for being exactly what I claim to want.Whydid I do that?”

“Has that ever happened with any other guys?”

“No, but they were all dolphins. Not an apex predator.”

“Maybe you take the lead next time,” Echo said. “Talk about it with him beforehand. Maybe if you’re in control a few times, you’ll learn to trust him.”

“Sounds nice, but I doubt a next time is coming anytime soon. If ever.”

“You never know.”

Diego sat up. “I watched Mael today.”

Echo lifted a brow.

“No, not like that. I wanted to watch himwith you.When you weren’t looking at him or your back was turned. With psychopaths, the charm can easily turn off when you’re not looking. It never did with Mael. He still looked like he worships the ground you walk on, even when you weren’t watching. Actually, he looked even sappier when you weren’t looking. I don’t think it’s an act.”

Echo fought a smile and failed.

“I’m still reserving judgment, though,” Diego said, matching Echo’s smile. “There hasn’t been enough time yet to give him my seal of approval.”
