Page 26 of Chasing Tail
“I will if you do mine.”
I did Taron one better. I leaned down and bit his nipple. His hips jerked, and Taron decided I was no longer running this show. He flipped me over and pinned me on my back. Taron bared his teeth at me to show dominance. He was bigger than me, and I had nothing to prove with him. I didn’t need to fight Taron. He was my friend, and I liked this.
I settled into the bed and blinked at him.
“Did you not enjoy that?”
Taron shook his head to clear it.
“I did. I want to do it to you. May I?”
“Stop being polite. I liked it when you weren’t.”
“Kishi, you knocked Caspian half across the ocean for doing exactly that. He’s terrified of you, and you bragged about it for months.”
“Caspian is whale excrement and had it coming. You’re a shark, Taron. When a female shark shows up to mate, you don’t ask permission for anything. You fight the other sharks off and take what you want. You were pretty proud of that scar the first time you mated. That’s what I want right now. I want you. I don’t want you pretending to be something you’re not because you have legs.”
“Fuck, Kishi,”Taron growled.
Taron dove into my neck and started licking and biting. I clawed my nails down his chest and arched my back. This was definitely going to change everything between us, but I wouldn’t stop this. Taron and I started this together. I thought I would hate everything about land and the people who lived here, but I could admit when I was wrong.
I enjoyed the things they had here, and I wished I could explore and see more. I thought I would hate legs and still sometimes pictured Taron with a tail as a merman, but his were rather lovely if I had to look at him with legs. Nothing was stopping us from exploring how land-dwellers mated when we both clearly wanted to.
Neither of us knew exactly how this worked, but it certainly felt good. Both sharks and mermaids fought a lot when it came to mating. Taron had to fight off other sharks, and mermen had to earn it. There were perks to getting right to it and not having to beat Taron half across the ocean with my tail until he may be proved he was worthy of mating with me. That part was kind of fun, but it was nice to be able to skip it with a friend.
Things felt different with legs, and I had no desire to fight Taron. We were both trying to figure out how this worked, but we were fast learners. Especially Taron. If he did something and I reacted a certain way, he doubled his efforts, and I certainly enjoyed them.
Please don’t ask me how he found this spot between my legs because female sharks didn’t have it, and it was different when I had a tail. I think the creator made mating feel good. Otherwise, females would refuse because childbirth was painful. So I had a spot inside my tail that was pleasurable when stimulated, but it appeared to be on the outside when I had legs.
Maybe having legs wasn’t so bad because when Taron licked that spot, my eyes rolled back in my head, and I thought I was going to die. But, of course, Taron knew that full well too because he held me down and did it harder and faster. Damn, he was good at that considering a few days ago, he had two rows of deadly teeth that it wouldn’t have even considered letting near my sensitive bits.
Taron bit down, and my entire world exploded. I shrieked and lost all control over my body. That was certainly interesting and amazing. Then, Taron kissed his way back up to my mouth and pulled me to his chest like we were done.
“Don’t tell me you’re ready for bed, Taron. I’m pretty sure that’s not all there is to land dweller mating.”
“It’s not, but we’re a long way from home, Kishi, and neither of us is what we were in the ocean. Do you even know how to stop us from making a pup? I’d be honored to sire one with you, but I’m a shark on land, and you’re a mermaid with legs. We don’t even know what you would hatch or even if it could survive in the ocean. You can’t exactly go back to the ocean for supplies, and we don’t even know if the mermaid tricks for that would work on land.”
That was pretty fucking logical, considering Taron threatened to stab Forrest with a fork because he was jealous. I wanted more. I was ready just to charge ahead and experiment. I knew every trick in the sea if I wanted to mess around with a merman, but this was new to me.
It also felt fantastic, but I was feeling a little greedy. Taron did all that work pleasing me, and now he just wanted to hold me because land mating was complicated. It didn’t have to end here, though. Taron gave me a lot of pleasure with just his mouth. Maybe I could do the same to him.
I shoved Taron on his back and took his cock deep in my mouth. It wasn’t totally horrible, and I got the exact reaction I wanted.
Maybe land mating wasn’t totally complicated. There were certainly a lot more options than there were in the sea.
