“Don’t fucking let go Daisy.”

“I wouldn’t think of it. You like my tail grabbing your balls?”

“Fuck yes I do.”

I hold on tight to him as he vigorously pounds his hips against my ass. Every thrust, slide, and slap building my orgasm, forcing it higher and higher, till I sit on a razor's edge, my channel baring down on Kai’s cock.

“Oh my god, right there. I’m gonna come Kai.”

“Yeah, you are and I’m gonna fill this cunt.”

He does this amazing swivel dip thing and tops it with a loud and hard slap to my ass forcing my orgasm to crest and shatter. My body shakes so violently Kai has to hold me up by the hips as I ride out the most intense orgasm of my life. Waves of pulsing pleasure swallow me in a tsunami as I feel Kai thrust fast then hold still deep inside me. His release pumping inside me causes aftershock orgasms to spasm through me.

Kai’s guttural growl behind me is possibly the most erotic thing I’ve ever heard, including all the dirty talk he spoke tonight.

He holds still as his cock pulses inside me, his hot seed warm and dripping down my thigh, just like he promised.

We lay together in the bed designed for genie bottles, sticky with sweat and breathless. Kai curls around me pulling me into his embrace, my face burying in his chest. He smells of sweat and campfires, burning embers and sweet candy.

“You’re a dream come true. You know that, Daisy?”

“No. We just…have good chemistry.”

“There’s definite chemistry, but also more—”

“Love. You told me.” I pause, gaining the courage to verbalize my emotions as he has. It’s difficult since I’ve never experienced anything like this with another before. But if he’s not afraid to be open and vulnerable then neither am I. “I love you too Kai. But…”

“But? But what?”

Kai pulls away to look me in the eye, tilting my chin up with a finger and brushing a thumb along my bottom lip.

“Are you still planning on leaving after the equinox is over?”

The words are a whispered confession and plea. We haven’t talked about what was to come after the equinox. He’s claimed, in not so many words, that he would be sticking around for a long time. But he’s never said it, never confirmed he wouldn’t be leaving again. I don’t think my heart could handle him leaving after falling in love with him.

“Of course not. I’m never leaving again unless it’s with you by my side and we’re going on some grand adventure.” Kai presses a kiss to my nose and a smile brighter than the sun beams down at me.

“Good, because I think my brother might actually kill you if you did.”

“I wouldn’t doubt it. And he would be right to if I did. I would be a fool to leave a female as sweet and perfect as you. I give you and Sage full permission to cut off my tail if I am ever stupid enough to give up the best thing that’s ever happened to me. And just to be clear, that’s you Daisy.”

Heat infuses my cheeks, and Kai seems proud of himself for making me blush. So much so, I can feel his length hardening against my stomach. I give him an incredulous look.

“Again? Already?”

“What can I say? I like it when you turn red.”

Lifting my leg, he wraps it around his hip and situates himself comfortably between my legs. The flesh there is tender and sensitive, but he doesn’t take me like he did before. He’s gentle and slow. Rubbing his length against me leisurely. Pressing kisses to my cheek, jaw, and lips. Cupping the back of my head and running his fingers through my hair. Our love making is unhurried and delicate. Exploratory and passionate. And when he slips his cock inside me our bodies rock together in a natural rhythm that takes nearly twice as long to bring me to orgasm. Slowly coercing it from my body rather than ringing it out.

After our second round of drawn-out sex, we fall asleep staring up at the star-filled sky through the open center of the tent roof, a tangle of limbs and tails. The scent of plumerias lingering like a strong perfume in the tent.

Chapter 24: Kai

Sharp rays of sunlight streaming in through the tent’s venting hole in the ceiling, wake me far earlier than I want. But the view of Daisy sleeping naked and halfway on top of me is worth it. I’d wake up at dawn every day if this is the view I get to wake up to.

Her dark hair is strewn across my red and pale skin, a contradiction in tone but fitting perfectly somehow. Pulling the blanket up to cover her bare backside I linger at her shoulders. Running feather light fingers over her tan skin and green filigree markings. In her sleep they’re still and motionless.
