Chapter 15
A Year Later
Those first weeks were the hardest. Kaba stayed at the clinic with his father and didn’t leave his side for four days.
Kaba introduced us on the third day and it could have gone worse.
The fact that I was a shadow elf didn’t help matters.
I didn’t blame him, and to put him at ease, I chose to stay in one of the vacant houses for a few weeks.
It was challenging, but I was willing to do anything for Kaba.
I wanted Oto to feel secure not only in our home but in the small neighborhood we were creating around the lake.
I had brief visits with him each day, and as more therianthropes moved in, he gradually became more relaxed.
I got to meet Kaba’s uncles and aunts by mating and all their kids.
They didn’t have any grandkids because, thankfully, the filth that had them didn’t force them to breed with each other. It was a small miracle.
Only about a dozen of the denizens who called themselves rulers survived the initial strike.
They were captured and sentenced by the Supernatural Council to two hundred years of imprisonment but not in one of the regular prisons, of which there were few.
In a special habitat-like cage, they put in the middle of King Talos’s ancient coliseum in Las Vegas.
I happily volunteered to create the shielding and barriers for it.
There, anyone could watch them, feed them special food pellets, and treat them as they treated the therians.
It turned out to be a very popular reality TV show once they started live-streaming it.
After their two hundred years’ sentence, they would be put to death.
If they survived to the end. Measures were put in place to prevent them trying to purposefully end their sentence early.
All the money made from visitors and the live streaming was cycled back to help refund the governments that outlaid the cost of creating all the rehab centers, provide housing, basic essentials, and education.
All the things it took to save those hundred thousand beings would be repaid by those who took their lives in the first place.
The Supernatural Council worked with the Global Authorities of the Shadow Dimension to claim all the assets.
They split that among all the refugees, further enabling them to start new lives.
Some of the gossip I heard from Kaba via Kikoi was that King Talos almost went to war with the Global Authorities over their inability to perceive or care about what was happening right under their noses.
Apparently, there were trafficking rings between Terran, Magnus and the Shadow Dimension that Talos blamed them for not working as hard to stop as well, so he already didn’t like them.
Somehow, the last year had flown by and today was a very important day.
Kaba’s father—whose actual name was Haji, “Oto” meaning father in their language—had been living in his own house for a few months and was thriving.
He was even talking about dating. Apparently, the owner of the new ice cream shop in town had caught his eye.
I went through my mental checklist while I waited for Kaba to return from a spa that Siku took him to. I was forever grateful that Kaba became such good friends with Siku, Kikoi, and Tiki.
I had plenty of water on hand in our room.
Snacks were on the dresser and I had plenty of fruit and vegetables.
I even got the little cheese balls covered in nuts that Kaba loved.
Towels were by the bed, extra lube just in case, a couple of knotting dildos because my refractory period was not as short as Kaba would like it to be.
Last but most importantly, a variety of special knotting cock rings were cleaned and ready to go.
This would be the second heat that Kaba had and this time, we were going to try for a child.
The first time was shortly after Oto came to live with us.
I used the infertility spell I’d learned then.
With all the chaos still in our lives, we were not ready for the possibility of having a child.
But when the signs appeared the day before that his heat would soon start, we discussed it again.
With Oto’s history, Kaba wasn’t sure how much was genetics and how much was the conditions of his father’s life that led to Kaba being the only living child he had, but we still wanted to try.
The door of our house opening and the passage of Kaba through the barrier that protected it stirred me from my thoughts. Urgency and a rush of lust burst through me as Kaba came running into our room, stripping clothing as he went.
“My mate. My mate. I need you.” He flung himself into my arms and kissed me deeply. His skin was warm to the touch and I moved him to the bed. He had gained muscle weight over the last year and I couldn’t hold him easily anymore.
I pulled away, gasping for air. “You’re so beautiful, my love.” I tried to get naked as quickly as possible but Kaba wasn’t making it easy for me. His hands were getting in the way as he tried to get to my skin.
His lithe body squirmed on the bed, his muscles taut and skin glistening with a sheen of sweat.
Kaba’s long, hard cock begged for me to suck or ride or both.
It turned out I loved having him in me. So much so that I rarely topped, but today and the next few days, Kaba would need me to.
Whatever my mate needed I was happy to provide.
As I pushed my shorts off, Kaba pinched and pulled my nipples, taking advantage of their sensitivity. I squawked as he pinched too hard. “Ouch!”
“I’m sorry, my mate. Let me make them better.” He kissed them gently before sucking one into his mouth. He pulled me on top of him. I moaned, loving the way he scraped his teeth against my hard nipple.
“Let me get ready for you, my love.” I pushed back out of his arms, my nipple stretching as his teeth held on to it before he finally let go.
“Hurry. I need my mate.” Kaba laid back, stroking his cock, legs spread wide. His hole glistened as slick leaked out of it. I wanted to lick and suck on his hole but that’d have to wait. We needed to get this orgasm out first to really kick things off.
I leaned over, blindly reaching for the lube and one of the cock rings.
My cock alone could not satisfy him during his heat.
I quickly lubed my cock and the ring before sliding it on and making sure it was snug at the base of my cock.
The silicon device was spelled so that as I got closer to my orgasm, it inflated until I orgasmed and then it would stay inflated for about ten minutes.
The size of the knot varied depending on what was cast. This one was not the largest we had but it was a nice comfortable medium.
The knot was important in stimulating special glands in his channel that made him receptive to ejaculate and signaled to his brain that he was getting what he needed.
It was fascinating, and I researched a lot after Kaba’s first heat, which took us by surprise.
That one was a disaster and it took a while before I could look Siku in the eye.
But now I knew what was needed. I even had Kaba fuck me with the cock ring so I knew how it felt.
I was not ashamed to admit that I liked it quite a bit.
“Mate! I need. Faster. Harder. Deeper.” Kaba grabbed my arm and pulled, making me almost fall on him. I straightened myself quickly and kissed his leg as I slid a finger into him.
The normally tight ring of muscle was loose, but not overly so and the slick wetness oozing from him was thick, providing the perfect amount of glide. “Hands and knees, my love.”
Kaba flexed his sexy abdomen to reach me, kissing me deeply. His tongue stroked against mine in a slow, deep manner that made my toes tingle. He broke the kiss with a smirk as he flipped around and smacked his ass. “Ryker. Mate. Need!”
Arousal and need poured from him as he stuck his ass in the air. I bit one of his cheeks playfully and Kaba shuddered with a whine. I licked his hole quickly, needing to taste him before I plunged my cock in.
The slick was sweet on my tongue and I groaned, wanting more of it.
I kissed along Kaba’s spine as I positioned myself.
I pressed on his ass so he’d lower it a bit.
His lengthy, finely muscled thighs stretched in a split.
The yoga he’d been doing with a group the last few months had improved his flexibility.
I pressed the head of my cock to his wet hole, and before I could prepare myself for the tight heat, Kaba pushed back, impaling himself on me. I tipped my head back and closed my eyes as the pleasure flooded my body, half of it not my own.
I breathed deeply to steady myself and then gripped Kaba’s hips.
I set a punishing pace designed to make him orgasm as quickly as possible.
His muscles contracted tightly around me, his entire passage sensitive to my thrusts.
Kaba rocked back, meeting my thrusts. He pushed up, putting his hands on the wall for more leverage.
Kaba wailed something I didn’t understand and cum splattered the wall. I tried to hold back so that I could make him cum again before I did, but I wasn’t sure I could. The feedback along our bond was intense, combined with his tight hold on my cock, and the cock ring pulsed hard around me.
It started to inflate but the electric buzz of the ring worked to stave off my orgasm. The ring inflated enough that it started to catch on Kaba’s entrance. It made Kaba go wild and I held still as he thrust back and then forward, making it pop out of him over and over again.
I loved when he used me for his pleasure, whether he was riding me or pinning me to the bed and plundering my hole with abandon. The cock ring pulsed again and inflated a bit more. Kaba thrust back on it hard almost unbalancing me. Cum shot across the pillows and wall again.
I slid my hands along his sides and kissed his back as I started rocking. I used the knot to massage his entrance and push against the glands on the sides along with his prostate. Kaba’s breath heaved but slowed as he came down from the last orgasm.
“So, full. Mate.” Sweat made us slide against each other and I increased the pace of my mini-thrusts. The knot was too big to safely pull out completely. With each thrust, I pushed in as deep as I could. I wasn’t going to last much longer, but I tried to hold back nonetheless.
I kissed whatever skin I could find as my pace slowed again.
The cock ring vibrated again and inflated one last time.
The pulsation zinged right through my balls, drawing them up tight as I thrust deep.
I bit into Kaba’s back as the pleasure overtook me, my whole body tightening then spasming as I filled Kaba.
Each wave of my orgasm shot a stream of cum into him.
His body tightened around me, sucking in all that I was giving, milking me dry.
One advantage of being an elf was copious amounts of semen.
As my body relaxed and stopped twitching, I carefully helped Kaba to the bed. Then, we rolled onto our sides to wait for the knot to deflate. I held him close to me and kissed his shoulder. He hummed with satisfaction.
I reached behind me to the side table and grabbed one of the metal water bottles that kept everything cool. I snapped open the top with my thumb and passed it around to Kaba. He sucked on the straw-like opening, almost emptying the bottle.
He snuggled back into me. “Thank you, my mate.” I took a drink of the bottle before putting it back.
Kaba grabbed my hand as I returned it to his side, and he laced our fingers together. Kaba made this little sound of happiness when he felt safe and loved and sleepy that never failed to send a contented warmth through me. I knew the lull wouldn’t last, so I closed my eyes to rest while I could.
“I love you, Kaba.”
“Love too, mate.” There was something extra adorable when he lost his words. I hugged him close.
Sometimes, I couldn’t believe that this was my life now.
I was surrounded by family when I had been alone for so long before.
I was helping to build a new community. And soon, I’d have a mini Kaba running around.
I had no doubt that when his heat was over in a few days, we would be successful.
I didn’t think there was anything my brave mate couldn’t accomplish once he set his mind to it.
And well, copious amounts of elven semen didn’t hurt either.
