She chuckled, warm and rich. “Just curious. Is this okay?”
“Very. You are welcome to stroke my cock and my petals anytime.”
“Will you explain how it works?”
His tail twitched. “I believe I gave you a very thorough demonstration.”
Her cheeks flushed a deep pink. “You came then it—” She held up a fist and slowly uncurled her fingers.
“Expansion is to ensure that my seed takes root. The sucker cups are to ensure that it is a pleasurable experience for the recipient.”
She nodded, then yawned. “That’s fascinating. I’ll need another demonstration.”
He pulled her to him, wrapping her in his embrace. “Insatiable female. I am no longer a young male. I require rest.”
That earned him another laugh. Then, with a mischievous grin, “Three is a sacred number, huh?”
Alice
Alice rested her head on his chest, listening to the steady thump of his heart. The new scales had not yet hardened and had a spongy texture. She ran her fingers over him, marveling at the vivid scarlet coloring. Feeling the need to explore their difference, her hand wandered to appreciate the fine, flexible scales around his eyes and mouth, harder spines around his jaw, and the remains of his sensitive frill along his neck.
Then came a second thump, almost synchronous with the first.
Unsure what she heard, she crawled over him to press an ear to the other side.
“You are curious,” he said.
“What the hell am I hearing?” Alice sat up, straddling his torso.
“My twin hearts.” He took her hands and positioned them, presumably, over his hearts.
“Twin hearts,” she said. He warned her that their physiology was different. She took the scales, feathery quills, and a dick that split into three tentacles in stride, but somehow two hearts struck her as strange. “What do you need two hearts for?”
“It is ancillary and remains unused except in high -stress situations.”
“Like spontaneous adult puberty?”
“Do not call it that,” he chided.
“Don’t get snippy because you’re all moody and angsty because of the hormones,” she teased.
From what he described, this fever sounded horrible. Hormones out of balance, molting of scales, and his libido in overdrive. Puberty was bad enough the first time around. She’d hate to do it again because of a random attraction.
“It is not pleasant,” he admitted.
A familiar hardness poked her from behind.
“Well,” she said, leaning back to grind against him, “it’s not all bad.”

Faris
Dawn had not yet arrived. Alice stirred in his arms, her back pressed against him.
“Hard again?” she muttered.
“For you.” He whispered the words against the shell of her ear, causing her to shiver. Soft and responsive, he enjoyed how even the slightest touch generated a reaction. “Lift your tail for me, Alice Serrano.”
