Page 6 of Saving Nessie
He slowly lapped up the first droplets of precum, loving the way Lachlan’s eyes glazed over while watching him. Cam suspected he looked much the same. The thought of Lachlan getting off on watching Cam get him off was gettinghimoff. They were so perfect together. Cam’s dick ached insistently against his leathers. Fuck, had he ever been so happy?
The thought made Cam moan as Lachlan’s cockhead slipped into his mouth, and an answering shiver ran through Lachlan’s body at the sound.
‘Good god, Cam.’ Lachlan’s back arched, forcing his cock deeper. Cam welcomed him, using both palms to help tilt his ass forward. Lachlan’s fingers curled tighter in his hair, his breathing turning fast and desperate.
Cam was so caught up in the moment that he nearly missed the strange prickle in the back of his brain. The ghostly, almost intangible sound of a snigger right behind his ear. He paused, thrown off by the imagined noise.
When it happened again, Cam knew he wasn’t imagining it.
Got a dirty mind don’tchyer,buidseach?
He choked, drawing off Lachlan’s cock fast. ‘Fuck.’
‘You okay?’ Lachlan’s bleary question sharpened with amazing speed as he registered Cam’s shock. ‘What’s wrong?’
Don’t stop on my account,the Redcap sniggered.
‘Fuck, fuck, fuck.’ Cam fumbled in dropping Lachlan to the ground.
Lachlan landed on his feet with an unsteady thump. He clung onto Cam’s collar with both hands. ‘Cam? Talk to me.’
‘The Redcap—it—fuck—it’s—’ Cam knew he was spluttering and felt like a fool. ‘It’s in my head!’
As if to drive home the point, Cam felt a tiny fist rap on the top of his skull.Not inyer head.Onyer head!it said gleefully.
‘How is that possible?’ Lachlan exclaimed in a flash of panic. ‘We sealed it in the stone, didn’t we?’
Cam recalled the uncomfortable sensation of the Redcap dancing along his Nessie shape and came to an awful realisation. ‘I think it’s used the Loch Ness curse somehow. Like it’s latched onto my monster form.’ He glanced at Lachlan. ‘When you had the curse, did you ever feel… like you were dragging your other body around? Does that sound crazy?’
‘Not crazy. I know exactly what you mean.’ Lachlan worried at his lower lip while hurriedly zipping up his trousers. Safe to say all pleasure had vanished from the situation. ‘For the longest time I felt like I had to squeeze through even the widest doorways. I suppose the other shape must continue existing on some level, in order to be tethered to the loch.’
About that,the Redcap drawled in Cam’s ear.’Tis mighty inconvenient, this leash o’ yours.
Cam felt a deep tugging sensation at his core—it made him physically jerk, followed by a wave of nausea. ‘Don’t do that!’ he hissed.
But the Redcap kept yanking on whatever it was, sending a rush of water into Cam’s ears and knocking him off balance again.
Lachlan grabbed him in alarm. ‘What’s it doing, Cam?’
Stand still and help me,buidseach. We can both be free if ye let me cut this cord. Ye thinks I want to stay and watch ye smooch yer loverboy fer the rest of me life?
Cam fought off another surge of queasiness, holding onto Lachlan for support. ‘It’s trying to get free of me. We can’t let it. We have to get back to Strome.’
‘Can you even drive right now?’ Lachlan asked in disbelief. He held Cam back with surprising ease—in fairness, Cam was struggling to tell if he was moving backwards or forwards right now. His feet wobbled under him.
Help me break this curse o’ yourn,the Redcap whispered in his ear.You get free o’ the loch, an’ I get free o’ you.
Cam went so quiet that Lachlan had to pat his cheek to get his attention again.
‘Is it speaking to you?’ Lachlan asked warily.
Cam didn’t want to admit the Redcap’s offer out loud. He was afraid Lachlan might be tempted by it. He was afraidhemight be tempted by it.
‘It thinks it can break the curse,’ he confessed. ‘I suppose the Redcap is tethered to me so long as I’m tethered to the loch.’
Thassit. Ye wanna be rid o’ this beastly body, aye?
The Redcap paced along Cam’s back—along his humped Nessie spine to his tail and back again. Cam shuddered.
