Page 24 of Monstrous Heat
“No, that’s not what I meant.” I rubbed my face against him, fighting the urge to cry and wail. “I just feel so… so… inferior.”
Another harsh clang at my ear made all the hairs stand up on my arms. He gripped my chin and jerked my face up, his eyes glittering like red rubies. “What the fuck? How could you possibly think that you’re fucking inferior? I already told you how rare it is for us to mate. Don’t you understand? They don’t fuckingwantus to mate. They don’t want us to breed on our own outside in the wild. Everything is controlled down to when we even come into heat. They never would have sent a squad to Earth if they’d known even the slightest probabilities that you existed.You, Natalie. You are a priceless, indescribably rare and precious thing that I’ll exterminate this entire planet to keep.”
“But I can’t even take you all the way inside,” I whispered, my voice quivering. I wanted to curl into a tiny ball of shame and disappear. First I had gas pains, then I kept coming at the drop of a hat, which was definitely embarrassing. Now I realized that he couldn’t even get inside me all the way. So fucking humiliating.
Was there literally something wrong with me? Maybe that was why I’d never had a long-term partner before. I couldn’t hold men’s interest for long.
That sharp clanging sound jerked my attention up to his face. Lips peeled back, he bared his teeth. Long, sharp, shiny, vicious teeth. “Do you honestly think your worth is tied to the depth of your cunt? I want you even if you don’t have a hole for me to use. As long as you’re feeling pleasure, I don’t care what the fuck we do. I’ll lay on my back and let the cum spray out of my body so you can wallow on me however you wish. I wantyou. Your scent. Your touch. Every cell in my body is tuned to you now. I resonate when you’re near, and the closer I am to you, the better I feel. I needyou. Physically near, touching me, your scent in my nostrils. Without you, I’m dead. Literally. I’m mated to you, now. If I lose you, I’ll die. If you die, so will I. I can’t live without you.”
Tears burned my eyes, my throat tight. He wasn’t making a declaration of love—only biology. But I’d never heard such vehemence and reverence ringing in a man’s voice before. “You don’t mind that I’m human?”
He pressed his face to mine, nose to nose, forehead to forehead. “You don’t mind that I’m a big lizard-thing with ginormous claws and red eyes?”
I couldn’t help but laugh, though tears leaked from my eyes too. “I did call you a lizard.”
“Yet here I am, buried in the snuggest pussy in the universe, and you’re mine, every delightful inch of you.”
I still had a niggling regret that I couldn’t take him balls deep, but he did have a point about me being snug. Watching his face, I deliberately squeezed my vagina around that glorious dick.
His jaws worked back and forth, and a fresh line of sweat trickled down his forehead. “Are you trying to kill me, little human?”
“Maybe,” I said, feeling a little more confident. “Have you ever heard of Kegels?”
His eyes narrowed to slits. “Is this something else you’re allergic to or that may cause you to feel pain?”
Tension eased from my body, and I relaxed against his chest. Nuzzling my face up against his neck, I breathed in his scent. All predator, a deadly creature who could kill me with one flick of his giant claw. Yet all he cared about was whether I was hurting or safe. “Not at all. Can I try something?”
“My body is yours to command.”
A thrill shot through me. I wrapped my arms around him. My thighs. Tightening my entire body around his. My palms flat on his back, my face on his throat. Eyes closed, I breathed him in and listened to the steady thunder of his pulse. Faster than mine, a deep, hard steady tempo. It made me think of a thoroughbred horse, how hard its heart must beat during a race.
I squeezed my inner muscles again, and his pulse leaped. His chest expanded beneath me in a deep breath, but he didn’t otherwise move. Again. I concentrated on a rolling clench, trying to squeeze the full length inside me. Harder each time, even though it made me sweat, too. Tremors rocked through us both. Nerve endings screamed with sensation. A deep, heavy ache spread through my pussy, intensifying with each deliberate squeeze.
My breathing was as loud as his. My heart thudding just as hard and fast. His dick pulsed inside me, swelling and pushing against my inner walls. It felt like a second heartbeat, a separate, living creature that ebbed and flowed with each flex of my muscles. It was so strange to sweat and strain so hard without seemingly moving. Drenched in sweat, gasping for each ragged breath, I clenched down hard on him again, holding the squeeze, harder.
Until he broke.
His hips jerked beneath me, his arms flexing, pulling me harder against him as if he wanted to drag me inside his body. Hot semen flooded me, so much I could feel it filling me. It had nowhere else to go, not with his huge cock plugging me up. Or maybe that was the knot swelling up to lock us together. I wasn’t sure what it actually looked like but it certainly felt like a grapefruit pressed against my cervix. Or maybe a watermelon. My abdomen even felt distended though maybe that was all in my head.
It didn’t hurt. Exactly. Though the slightest bit more pressure would probably make me yelp.
“You didn’t come.” Now it was his turn to sound aggrieved. “And now we’re fucking locked.”
Everything still hummed inside me, but I’d been focused so intently on the Kegels that I’d pushed my own orgasm off. Or rather up higher, an impossible climb. I hovered at the edge of a cliff so high that I was actually afraid. If I went over the edge… I might not ever come back. “I’m… right… there. Just…”
“Then it’s my turn to do a little experimentation.” His chest expanded deeply, a massive bellows filling with air that humped my back and shoulders. As he exhaled, he let out a rattle like the amusement sound only deeper. A vibrating whirr that shimmered through his body into mine. Everywhere we touched. Even—especially—his dick.
Despite the sweat, goosebumps flared down my arms. My heart stuttered in my chest. But I still didn’t come. I hovered right there, poised at the edge, pebbles raining down all around me, but I didn’t go over the cliff.
“Angle’s not quite right,” he murmured. Cupping my buttocks in both hands, he pulled my lower body away from his slightly. Just enough to shift my body weight forward. The hard ridge of his cock pressed against my clit, sending sparks through my bloodstream. “Let’s try that again.”
The deep bellows heaved beneath me. The vicious rattle that made me instinctually quiver with the dread of a prey animal. And the bone-deep vibration that rolled through him. Directly to my clit.
That’s what it felt like, at least. As if he’d focused a thousand-watt vibrator directly on my clit. I jerked and thrashed, my arms and legs twitching. Screaming, gasping, crying, I couldn’t even hold on to him. I couldn’t coordinate my muscles. Hold my head up. Breathe. All I could do was twitch in the onslaught of a vicious climax that tore through me. Rolling me down into darkness.
When did I get on a boat?
The thought didn’t make sense. It took me several more breaths to remember who I was. Where I was.
