Page 23 of Offering Herself to Darkness

“That’s because it’s not a replacement—it’s simply an enhancement that fits over my real arm and hand,” Xarex said. “Though it does have some useful functions.”

“Oh, like what?” She turned her head again to see him.

“Well, it allows me to punch through a solid wall if I need to—or to crush an enemy’s skull,” he said. He thought she turned a little pale so he hastened to add, “But there are other, non-violent uses too. I can pick almost any lock and untangle any knot in existence.”

“Oh…that’s nice.” Nora relaxed again, though maybe not as much as before.

“You don’t have to fear my enhancement, ellana,” Xarex murmured in her ear. “I can be as gentle with my enhanced hand and arm as I am with my natural one.”

To prove it, he put his arms around her and cupped her heavy breasts again. Gods, he loved the feel of them in his hands—they were so full and her nipples were so tight.

Nora moaned softly as he began to tug her nipples. Then he slid his enhanced hand down over her belly to rest on the mound of curls between her legs.

She stiffened slightly and he could smell the sharp scent of anxiety that suddenly entered her personal fragrance.

“It’s all right, ellana,” he murmured, soothing her. “Just part your legs for me and let me wash you. Let me wash your soft little pussy—I promise I’ll be gentle.”

With a soft moan, she did as he asked, parting her legs so that he could cup her more fully. At first Xarex simply held her, loving the feeling of her soft little mound in his hand. But then he teased her outer lips open with the ultra-sensitive fingertips of his enhanced hand. A moment later he found the tight little bump of her Goddess pearl—what the humans called a “clit.” And then he activated a feature of his hand he’d never used before—the vibration setting.

“Oh!” Nora gasped, shifting her hips as he began teasing her clit with his softly buzzing fingertips. “Oh, Xarex—what…?”

“Another special feature of my enhancement,” he rumbled in her ear as he continued to circle her Goddess pearl slowly. “Gods, you’re so wet, ellana. Do you like it when I stroke you like this? Do you like it when I slip my fingers into your tight little pussy and play with your clit?”

“Oh my God, yes—you know I do!” she moaned, bucking her hips again. “But if you keep it up I’m going to…going to come!”

“That’s exactly what I want,” Xarex growled in her ear. “Want to feel you coming for me, ellana. Coming all over my hand while I stroke your soft little pussy.”

“Oh…oh, Xarex!” Her moans became cries as her body tightened in his arms and he knew she was coming for him, just as he had told her to.

“Good girl,” he growled softly in her ear as he continued to tease her with his fingers. It was something the male actors in the human porn sometimes said and the actresses seemed to love it.

Nora seemed to like it too.

“Oh my God, yes!” she moaned, writhing against him. Her soft little pussy gushed honey for him and Xarex felt like his cock was going to burst from sheer lust. The W’rx part of him was demanding that he take her now—that he pull her down and shove his shaft deep in her tight little cunt. Grimly, Xarex resisted the urge.

“Good girl to come so hard for me,” he told her instead. “Love to feel you coming while I stroke your hot little pussy, Nora.”

At that point, her legs seemed to give way and he felt her collapsing. Concerned at once, he caught her and held her against him, supporting her as she moaned.

“Oh…I…I’m sorry,” she panted at last. “I just…it’s been a long time since I had an orgasm and that was so intense.”

“It’s all right, ellana.” Xarex turned her so she was facing him and cradled her close in his arms. He was still kneeling and the tile floor was getting hard on his knees, but he didn’t want to stand up yet—he wanted to stay on her level and be close to her.

At last she seemed more steady on her feet.

“Thank you for catching me,” she murmured. “I promise I’m not usually so uncoordinated.”

“I don’t mind. I’ll always be here to catch you,” Xarex promised. He kissed her gently on the mouth though the W’rx part of him wanted to ravish her instead. She was so small and delicate—he had to be careful with her. He was thankful that the Kindred half of him seemed stronger than the W’rx half.

When the kiss broke, Nora straightened up and gave him a shy smile.

“Well, now it’s my turn to finish washing you,” she pointed out. “But maybe you’d better stand up first so I can reach you better.”

NORA

Xarex rose smoothly though he’d been kneeling for quite a while. Nora couldn’t help thinking that he was extremely graceful for such a large male. She was still feeling a little weak in the knees herself—the orgasm he’d given her had been unexpected and so intense.
