Serpents of the Night (The Darvel Exploratory Systems #5)

Chapter 16

Lori moaned softly as three sets of hands slid over her skin, spreading the cooling liquid over her. It was no wonder that Hashal had been practically limp with bliss after Kehtal had thoroughly slathered him in the concoction before sending him off to bed. She had never felt anything of the like! Although she had a small number of lotions and ointments at the colony, most of which were tipping dangerously close to empty, nothing quite compared to the mixture being generously applied by her mates.

The tight, achy, itchy feeling that came with the inability to maintain a proper level of moisture was a consistent problem she’d been battling since her arrival at the mining colony. She had enjoyed some relief from the cooling herbs that Slengral had used to care for her in his nest, though she hadn’t been aware of what the herbs did at the time. But even that hadn’t compared to the magic of the waga berry juice. It was like being plunged into the relief of a cool, refreshing pool and yet somehow more. It was as if there was an icy waterfall rushing through her veins that followed each application of juice.

“This must feel good. I have never seen that look on your face before,” Kehtal teased, his voice almost a whisper as he leaned in close beside her. “No,” he murmured after a moment’s pause. “I am wrong. This look is very familiar but less impatient than when I am pleasuring you with my tongues.”

Lori gasped softly, a tingle rushing to her belly.

“You are right,” Daskh agreed. His head bent as she felt the damp rasp of his tongues flicker on a particularly sensitive spot just below her ear before dragging down her neck even as his slicked hand stroked downward over her breast, his fingertips massaging and teasing. His breath suddenly fanned against her skin as he withdrew his tongues, his tail rolling gently beneath her. “She is pleasingly relaxed. Not tightening up with her need for release and pleasure.”

“Both looks are pleasing,” Slengral’s hands slid down her belly, rubbing in slow motions over the rounded spot where their son rested. “I cannot decide which I like best.”

She bit her lip as he nuzzled her lower belly, her breath catching. All the while they continued to stroke her, the long strokes of their hands soothing and yet also simultaneously erotic everywhere they touched her. His red eyes never glanced away as if he found her every response a subject of incredible fascination.

Gods, if they kept it up, there were likely going to get an opportunity to see both expressions occur simultaneously in some sort of mortifying, spastic collision of expressions.

She hissed between her teeth as another soft moan rose from within her. Although Seshanamitesh didn’t have lips in quite the same fashion as humans, the erotic glide of their tongues and the loving brush of the cheeks and jaws against her in place of delicate kisses was certainly doing its job. It was the perfect counterpoint to the graceful glide of their hands and the delicate brush of their clawed fingers as they petted her and teased her most sensitive spots. The different sensations of pleasure were mingling within her, building off of each other with every stroke of their hands. Her head fell back against Daskh’s shoulder, a shiver running through her“I will see both,” Slengral rasped, his tongues swiping over her inner thigh, dangerously close to the intimate flesh between her legs.

Lori shivered harder, her breath panting out of her as their tails brushed along her sides and legs. Daskh’s tail beneath her shifted more subtly, but everything together created a subtle, longing pulsing deep within her. Slengral’s tail shifted away from her side, and she heard the pot rattle for a second before she felt the tapered tip of his tail press against her ass. She felt the cold liquid that covered it. Was that even safe to take internally? She opened her mouth to ask but only a moan came out as he pushed within her, the sudden erotic stretch of his invasion mingling with the sudden burst of euphoria that descended through her like an icy breeze.

“What?” she gasped, the word choked off by a soft cry of pleasure breaking from her.

The raspy rumble of her mates’ laughter filled the room in response but quickly turned to content hums as Slengral’s tail began to work in and out of her, deliberately spreading the juice with each plunge. The sound splashed over her, fueling her pleasure even more as it teased her ears even as Daskh and Kehtal continued to play with her, their fingers gliding over her rapturously.

“Do not worry, hithana,” Daskh whispered in her ear, the tips of his tongues faintly stroking against her earlobe. “It is a good medicine for you. The Uralial had scented our hatchling within you and had drawn Slengral aside while you were occupied with selecting the herbs you desired for bathing. It is good for the mother and hatchling both what he does—the female vents need to be cooled. Enjoy it, hithana.”

Well, that explained what the Uralial had meant about the berries being important for a gestating female. That was another point in favor of getting the berries to the colony as the miners started looking toward settling down with their own families within the colony.

Lori gasped again, all thoughts flying from her head as her belly quivered when her mate’s tail slid from her ass. There was another rattling from the bowl and Daskh adjusted her legs wider, providing easier access as Slengral’s tail slid home again. She squealed with shock at the fresh cooling blast, her nipples peaking as her sex clenched uselessly around its emptiness. Her legs trembled as her mate’s tail moved inside of her, sliding back and forth, the cooling balm flooding through her limbs, easing aches she didn’t even know she had even when drawing her need up like an inferno within her. Ice and heat warred within her.

She wiggled on Slengral’s tail, her pleasure shooting up rapidly with each thrust. She gasped in time with them, and the small breathless sounds were met by quiet hisses and grunts from her males. They nuzzled her, their humming songs vibrating through her, making her arousal drip from her sex and onto the tail filling her. Slengral’s breath fanned her pussy as the narrow tips of his tongues gently began to lash along her intimate folds. Kehtal trilled softly and mouthed her breast, brushing his sharp teeth against her without applying pressure that would cause her pain. His gentle “nips” followed along the soft skin of her under breast before enclosing around her nipple altogether. Lori’s hips shot up as she cried out yet again, driving Slengral’s tongues into her.

She didn’t know when he had coated his tongues with the juice, but another welcome icy shock exploded through her as they plunged into her. Her channel instinctively squeezed around them before a small wave broke through her, sending her juices over his tongues as a small climax snapped through her.

Her mates hummed with their pleasure, and the vibrations from Slengral’s mouth shook through her from her core. Lori clenched around him, savoring it until at last his tongues and tail simultaneously pulled free, leaving her quaking with the aftereffects of the release sweeping through her. His red eyes fastened on her, and for a moment, they held Seshana, the heavens, and the vast universe beyond that as she hung suspended in bliss, supported by Daskh's loving embrace and petted by her sweet Kehtal. It was only for the time it took to draw a breath and then he moved, his tail coiling around her with the speed of a serpent striking its prey. She was plunged into the darkness of a new fever that gripped her as her legs parted and fell wide, leaving her completely open as her mate’s pelvis slid into place. The girthier length of his primary cock slid against her sex, its multiple heads vibrating as it brushed against her, sending her spiraling into a new wave of pleasure.

One pass, then two, and finally third. He pressed home at last, opening her around his broad tip. He sank deep, deep enough that she arrived quickly at the thick bulge at the base, her channel squeezing around its length rapturously. They cried out together and her arms closed around him, drawing him in close as he rocked against her. Kehtal’s soft moan of excitement filled her ears as the smaller male quickly ducked out of the way. Daskh’s hiss of agreement was subtler, but there was nothing subtle about his extruded cock pressing against her back as Slengral’s tail wrapped around them both, pinning the large male to her. He gripped around Daskh, steadying himself with the larger male as he began to rock, his body writhing against hers in a continuous, sinuous motion that had her gasping and clinging to him as stars continued to burst within her one supernova at a time, building into a crescendo that broke loose, blinding her with white fire when his secondary cock suddenly slid home, coaxing its way in with a slick glide made possible from the mingled juices of the berry and her sex.

She groaned as it pierced her, her legs falling wider than before, encouraging her mate to pierce her deeper. His hiss of pleasure ricocheted through her as the pump of his hips grew in ferocity until he finally forced his bulge in, the thickness of it pressing so firmly against her inner bundle of nerves that her entire world combusted in an explosion of sensation as her climax roared through her. His cries of pleasure engulfed her, and she drifted into an inner world of sensation, his seed spilling into her with every pulse of his cock spraying from its multiple, writhing heads. His grip around her tightened as they drifted together in their pleasure, his wings beating the air frantically with the force of his own release, fanning cool air over her. Lori shivered with pleasure as the blasts over the cooling concoction slicking her skin sent a wonderful prickling through her as he quivered against her for a long moment before slowly—and reluctantly—pulling away.

A moan escaped her as his cocks pulled free, but she smiled, her heart brimming over with love as her mate brushed his cheek against hers in his silent declaration of adoration. His head moved and his mouth grazed hers, his tongues slicking against her lips in a silent request. He tasted of her musk, and she sighed against his mouth as she opened for him.

His tongues instantly sank between her lips and caressed gently along the flesh of her mouth and along her tongue. Lori pressed her chest against his, her fingers clinging to his gavo, but it wasn’t enough to hold him because he finally pulled back and untangled himself from her with a snap of his wings, propelling him back from her embrace. She gasped softly at his sudden absence, but a smaller warm body pressed immediately forward as Kehtal nuzzled her neck, his sweet hum falling over her like a waterfall. Each of her mates had such a distinct song and while Slengral’s rushed over her like a conquering tide, Kehtal’s lilted in an enticing way, drawing her up to meet him as his tongues stroked over her and his teeth delicately nipped at her skin. His body rubbed against her for a moment, his breath shuddering from him as he positioned himself, pressing his pelvis tightly against her pussy just as his cock bloomed from his body. His extruding shaft pushed deep and with abrupt force as he sank into her, his wings clasping around her shoulders.

Daskh grunted behind her as Kehtal’s wings slapped down aggressively as they sought to lock around her. The larger male snarled an expletive under his breath, but his grip around her tightened to keep her steady even as he noticeably leaned away from Kehtal’s flailing wings. Lori swallowed a laugh, but her merriment turned rapidly to liquid hot pleasure as Kehtal began to rock, lifting up from the weight of his tail coiled beneath him so that she slid forward and up before dropping down again on his cock, his angle striking entirely new places as he drew her up partially off Daskh so that she was balanced on his writhing tail. Her body, already primed by Slengral, rushed toward another climax, drenching her mate with her pheromones. Daskh growled behind her anew in reaction, but it was Kehtal’s soft gasp of pleasure that stole her heart completely even as her back arched as his tail shifted and he leaned back to coil around her, drawing her completely out of Daskh’s grasp, despite the snarl of protest from the male.

Straddled over him, Lori rocked forward, her eyes rolling back as her own weight pressed her folds against his textured scales. Her hips rolled with the undulation of his tail, her body rising and dropping as if being carried away on a tide as her orgasm built within her again. Kehtal’s tail coiled around her, tightening even as it adjusted its angle. She could feel the slick drag of his second cock against her skin as he worked his way downward only to stop suddenly when Daskh grabbed the male’s tail in one hand, stopping its descent. Kehtal garbled in protest, but Daskh ignored him as his large bulk suddenly snapped forward so that he was pressed directly behind her and over her. Lori moaned as his weight pushed her forward and Kehtal jerked beneath her at the sudden change of angle, his eyes fluttering rapidly as his cock briefly spasmed within her as she clenched around him.

She shivered with arousal as she felt Daskh’s cock rub against her ass, a fresh flood of heat awakening within her when he palmed her cheeks and spread them. Her ass and pussy clenched with excitement, and she rocked in quick, tiny motions against Kehtal, her clit rubbing against one of the ridges of his tail’s belly scales. Behind her, she could hear Daskh’s deeply drawn breath as he scented her pheromone release, and a throaty sound of need vibrated a deep bass within his hum. His tail slid over Kehtal, pinning him against the nest as he thrust up into Lori, filling her ass with a delicious burning stretch as his cock burrowed deeply within her. Her eyes fluttered with the pleasure bursting through her, her back going taut before a quaking release softened all her muscles with pleasure.

She dropped forward onto Kehtal’s chest and Daskh followed after her as he covered her, his powerful tail undulating, rocking her forward and drawing her back again with far greater strength than she could have managed on her own and Kehtal writhed in reaction beneath her, his tail pressing hard as he met her every stroke. Daskh’s secondary cock brushed his arm, but Kehtal barely seemed to notice it as he stared up at Lori with amber eyes warm with love and glassy with desire.

Lori moaned as she clung to Kehtal as her body was rocked between them. She was completely boneless with her pleasure as they rutted her between them, able to do nothing more than hold tight and stare at Daskh’s leaking cock as she rode Kehtal. Her tongue swiped over her bottom lip, though she smiled at Daskh’s obvious impatience as his thrusts grew harder and more demanding, as if he were trying to pull a climax right from her core and destroy her completely. She certainly didn’t object. It was all very satisfying to her. And she knew exactly how to show her appreciation.

“Give me your sants,” she rasped as she rested her weight against Kehtal completely and stretched her hands out for them.

Her mates’ tails writhed around her eagerly and Slengral chuckled somewhere at her right but she was far too distracted to pinpoint his location exactly. Especially not when two strong tails coiled around her arms, holding them out from her body and keeping her locked even more firmly between them as they drove their cocks faster into her. The cocks that filled her hands were slick with their own essence and already pulsing as the heads at their tips vibrated rapturously. Gasping and crying out with their every thrust, she worked their secondary cocks in her hands, gripping them and squeezing their lengths as she drove up their frenzy until they were writhing around her and plunging with complete abandon, their grunts becoming more audible, breaking their songs as they raced toward climax.

Drawing up one cock to her mouth and then the other, she alternately stroked and sucked them, reclaiming her power to pleasure them even as they sent round after round of pleasure tripping through her, sparking her blood until a torrential fire consumed her. Her climax leapt up from her belly as she contracted hard around the cocks buried in her, her cries of bliss echoing through their nest as her mates’ cock erupted in and over her. Stream after stream of cum spilled from them until they dropped into their nest in a tangle of Seshanamitesh tails as Slengral tucked himself around them.

A blissful smile tugged at her mouth as she lay cocooned within the bodies of her mates, snuggled within their embrace. Though she was stained emerald green and bore a closer resemblance to a she-hulk of popular twentieth and twenty-first century media than a meticulously groomed woman from the pleasure arts strata, her mates were quick to show her that they loved every bit of her in every way, undaunted by her sudden change in appearance. If any Seshanamitesh even thought of taking a single one of her mates from her, they would have one hell of a fight on their hands.
