“Shit. Stop, Zylah,” he pleaded, darting up to sit and wrap his arms around her and forcibly hold her down. He even pinnedher arms to her sides, stopping her from separating them when she tried.

She let out a whimper, and he slapped a hand down on her arse to shove her hips forward and tuck them together so she couldn’t even subtly move them.

“I just came, and my head is swimming,” he told her, grazing his fangs against the side of her breast. “If we go again straight away, I think I’ll actually pass the fuck out this time.”

“But you’re still hard,” she whined. She yanked on her arm, wishing he’d let her go.

“I shouldn’t be. Whatever component is in your arousal tingles and keeps me erect. It also makes me cum really hard.”

He held her tightly as he panted against her. After trying to no avail to keep moving her hips, she gave up. Only then did he loosen his arms so she could free her own, and Zylah gave a sulky whimper.

“Don’t be like that,” he whispered gently.

He lifted her slightly and made room so he could cross his legs before settling her back down on his cock until he was seated deep. He slid his head forward until his forehead was buried against the short fur covering her sternum.

“Let’s just stay like this. I’d like to hold you for a little while.”

Zylah grumbled, and the urge to smack the top of his head struck her, but it quickly died when he nuzzled his face between her breasts. His arms also repositioned so he was holding her midsection in a tight cuddle, and she could almost feel the contentment radiating from him.

She gave in and slipped her arms around his head to hug him back, and her breasts pressed into the sides of his face more firmly.

Her voice was soft, although croaked, as she whispered, “You do like holding me like this.”

She liked it too. She found it lovely.

“Yeah, I know.” She heard a grumbling pout in his voice and wished she could see it. He nuzzled harder, taking in a deep breath as if he was drawing in her scent, and his body grew even more lax than before. “If you promise not to think differently of me, I’ll tell you why.”

“Differently?” she asked, unsure of what he meant. “Like... badly?”

A sigh caressed her chest. “Never mind.”

“No. I want to know,” she pleaded, and immediately panicked when he shook his head. “You cannot say something like that and not tell me!”

“The moment I said it, I wanted to take it back. I’m actually not proud of it.”

“Please, Jabez?” she whispered, hoping softening her voice would be more convincing. When that didn’t work, she gripped the end of one of his horns and tugged to make him look up at her.

He gave her a half-hearted glare, his eyes hardening, only for them to gentle an instant later.

“Fine,” he grumbled, shoving his head forward against her as if to hide it. He was silent for a moment, his muscles tense with restraint, before he let out a growl that ended in a defeated expire. “It makes me feel... safe. I’ve never truly felt that way.”

I make him feel safe?Despite how saddening she found his admission, she couldn’t help the way fluffy lightness sprouted in her heart. Her purple orbs shifted to bright pink, and her arms squeezed him in adoration.

Her tail swayed behind her, and he stroked his fingers through it – incidentally causing her insides to flutter wildly around him, and they both let out a raspy breath.

“I think it’s due to how I can feel and hear your heartbeat,” he mumbled against her, and she wondered if he was continuing due to her giddy reaction. “You also feel nice to hold, and I cantake in your scent coming directly off of you. I’ve never allowed another to hold me like this. I’ve never trusted anyone else because it leaves my back vulnerable and I can’t see.”

Her orbs brightened in their pink hue, and her chest ached with such a wonderful tenderness that her orbs threatened to waver. She didn’t mean to whine, but her affection for him became so powerful in that moment that it bordered on pain.

That was until he slapped one of her cheeks when he went to hold her arse and purposefully ground her pussy around his cock. “It also feels remarkably more intimate with me inside you like this. I like you cock-warming me.”

Seeing as he’d likely said that as a way to escape the conversation, Zylah didn’t reply. Instead, she hugged his head tighter, causing her breasts to squeeze the sides of his face, and nuzzled the side of her snout against the top of his head.

“You can cuddle me this way any time you like,” she said, basking in this sweet moment thatheinstigated.

Lying on his side with a sleeping female in his arms, Jabez reluctantly moved his face away from between her breasts to glare at the oncoming light.

Dawn was finally breaking across the horizon, casting an eye-piercing beam of sunlight into the room. The sky itself turned aqua as the first sun of Nyl’theria, the green one named Pire, mixed with the lightening blue sky. The sky would change colour depending on the season and by which sun, or suns, were closest.
