Chapter Twenty-One
Atlas
Her gaze swam with desire as she looked at me, pupils dilated and unfocused. My pheromones, my seed, had overwhelmed her senses, leaving her body responding to only her instincts.
She was mine.
I knew she wanted me. She was the one who took the lead… in everything, while I’d been the one holding back—too shy, too worried to even make the first move.
But now that I knew the truth, that she was my match, I wouldn’t hesitate any longer.
But I would hold back from claiming her fully; I needed full consent for that.
Kassie leaned against the door, her eyelids heavy with desire. The black lace of her bra strained against her generous curves, barely containing them as they threatened to spill free. Her nipples peeked from beneath the fabric.
“Are they growing?” I rasped as I cupped them.
Kassie wrapped her hands around mine. “They might be, you should take this off and find out.”
My lower hands encircled her waist and pulled her against me as she wrapped her legs around my waist. I carried her through the cabin, searching for the bed, eager to devour what remained of her clothes. The scent on her fabric made my mouth water.
I wonder if she would be mad if I went to her house and ate out of her underwear drawer like it was a buffet.
I tossed her onto the king-sized bed, where the thick, flannel bedspread complemented her lace lingerie. With four hands at my disposal, I explored every inch of her, tearing away the delicate fabric. I dove my head between her legs, ripping her panties and tasting the fabric like a fine dessert.
Her voice dropped to a sultry rasp. “You’ll be buying me new lingerie every week at this rate.”
I sucked in the crotch of her panties and let it hang from my mouth. “I’ll buy you all the delicates you want.”
Her eyebrows pinched together as she cried out, her arms wrapping around her stomach. “Please, Atlas, it’s starting to hurt again.”
My antennae twitched, my wings fluttering behind me. I didn’t want her to hurt—I never intended to make her suffer.
Her arousal filled the air once more. Her legs spread on their own, and I saw why her underwear had been so damp. She was soaked, dripping with her sweetness, begging to be licked and sucked.
I purred, my wings fluttering harder as I pushed back her legs and dipped my head between her thighs. “Yes, please, my sweetest dessert.”
“Don’t take too long,” she pleaded. “I need your cock inside me.”
I lifted my head, my eyes widening.
I’d like that very much.
First, I let my tongue slide from my mouth, taking sweet suckles from her, licking her clean and playing with her clit.
She cried. I could smell the salty tears as her first orgasm came. More of her flooded my mouth, and my cock pressed firmly against the bed.
Kassie’s head rolled back and forth on the mattress. “No, I need you to fill me up. Please, gods—someone!”
I snarled and rolled her onto her stomach.
I had dreamed of taking her in the most primal ways—the ways meant to impregnate, to fill her womb and make the seed take.
My body shook with excitement, my cock bobbing and dripping between her legs as I lined up with her entrance.
“I can’t hold back,” I ground out. “I don’t know how gentle I can be. I’m sorry.”
My lower hands gripped her hips and thighs while my upper hands held onto her breasts as they swayed under her. I covered her body with mine—to keep her safe, to hold her, to make sure she would not leave. She was mine. She wouldn’t escape me, not until I was ready for my cock to leave her body.
“Kassie…”
“Yes, please, Atlas! Please!”
My cock moved; it slid up the left side of her thigh.
I adjusted my hip, and the coils pushed my shaft inside her.
Her inner walls clamped down on me like a vice, and I gritted my teeth, trying to hold onto some semblance of control.
Kassie’s moans were muffled by the mattress, her body already slick with sweat.
I could feel her heart racing, or maybe it was mine, pounding like a drumbeat between us.
I moved slowly at first, each thrust deliberate, feeling every inch of her as I slid in and out.
Her body quivered beneath me, her fingers clutching at the blankets like they were a lifeline.
I could feel her pleasure building, her moans growing louder, more insistent.
It was a symphony, a melody that only I could conduct.
Her hips started to move in sync with mine, urging me deeper, harder. I growled, my lower hands gripping her tighter, my upper hands caressing her breasts, feeling her heartbeat against my palms. The room filled with the sound of our bodies coming together, the scent of our shared desire.
“More, Atlas,” she gasped out, looking back at me with wild eyes. “Give me more.”
A shudder ran down my spine. “More? Are you sure?” My wings spread wide, my antennae twitching with every sensation. I could feel her… all of her.
“Fuck, yes, Atlas. Give me everything,” she said through gritted teeth.
The cabin creaked around us, the bed frame groaning under the force of our movements. I could feel the coils around my shaft, massaging her walls with every thrust.
“Nngh… So good.” Her breasts swayed beneath my palms. She pressed her backside into me as if to swallow my body whole. “Give me more.”
I snarled. Fuck, she was amazing. I was so damn lucky.
I felt the pressure building at the base of my spine. Kassie’s cries grew louder, her body convulsing beneath me.
“Atlas!” she screamed, her body clenching around me as she reached her climax.
My antennae twitched, and my wings trembled, and I thrust into her hot cunt, once more as a tidal wave crashed over me. I poured my seed into her, feeling her womb accept me, welcome me. It was utterly consuming. I held her there, my body covering hers, my cock still pulsing inside her.
I rolled us to the side, taking her with me. I brushed a strand of hair from her face, tucking it behind her ear.
“Are you alright?” I asked, breathing into her ear.
She hummed softly, snuggling closer to me. “Never better,” she murmured.
My hips continued to pulse. A single coil from around my cock pulled out of her and stroked her clit. She gasped, rolling her neck to the side. I grasped her breast, feeling its weight in my hand, but instead of savoring how full and voluminous her body was, my eyes had zeroed in on her neck.
My fangs ached to sink into her neck. I had never felt anything like it. I wasn’t a vampire. I didn’t drink blood, and I had only eaten meat once or twice in my life. So why now did I want to bite her—savor her?
My cock pulsed. I was so fucking turned on. There was no way I was anywhere near done with her, and the overwhelming urge to bite her was becoming unbearable.
I gripped her hip, beginning with small, gentle thrusts to keep my mind off her pale neck.
“I think you are trying to kill me. Kill me by orgasm. Is that even possible?”
I growled, my thrusts becoming erratic. The urge to bite her was too strong, I had to distract myself.
I pulled myself from her body. She cried out, “Nooo! Give me your dick back. That’s so mean.”
At least she still wanted this as much as I did.
“Female, I need you… help,” my voice strained. I hovered over her, my fangs itching to pierce her skin.
She raised a brow, now realizing the seriousness in my voice.
“I—I am scared I’ll bite…” I snarled, shaking my head.
Kassie shrugged her shoulders. “…And that’s a bad thing?”
“Yess,” I hissed, my cock pulsed, spewing seed.
Kassie shook her head. “What a waste, lay back, let me take care of you.”
I panted and watched as my female crawled on top of me. She took my dick in her hand and slowly guided it until it disappeared inside her.
Sweet is Night. She could be on top?!
“Hang on for the ride. These thighs didn’t build themselves in a day.”
What did that even mean?
Kassie rose and fell as I watched my cock appear and disappear. I grasped her by the hips, watching her breasts bounce as my body shuddered, this goddess of the night dancing before me.
My fangs didn’t ache as much now, my mind too focused on her. I was one blessed male, and my body wouldn’t be able to handle much more.
“You’re so damn big, but I can’t get enough,” Kassie panted. “You stretch me so good. I’ve dreamt of this ever since I met you.”
A sound escaped me… something between a moan and a chirp, high and desperate.
“Even when you looked human, I was attracted to you. Fuck, I’d do both of your forms.”
My throat felt thick. She wanted me in any form—it didn’t matter what I looked like?
Warmth spread through my body until I came again.
I screamed her name, filling her with so much seed it spilled from her body.
My coils tried to scoop it from between us and push it back inside her.
She cried out as she lay herself on top of me.
“It’s too much… too much.”
I tried to will my coils to stop. With enough effort, they slowed and pressed themselves against my cock once more. I didn’t have the energy—nor the heart—to pull out of my match. I wanted to remain inside her, to stay as close to her as possible.
“Is this okay?” I wrapped my arms around her. “I need you as close as possible.”
Kassie panted. “Yes. Cockwarming is okay in my book.”
I blinked several times. What?
I shifted her so I could bring my wings around both of us, tucking her body into mine to keep her warm. My wings covered all of her except the top of her head, which rested near the fur around my neck.
My cheek brushed against her forehead. “I have great affection for you, my little female. I wish to be with no one else.”
She looked up at me, her eyes gleaming with mischief. “You know, for a monster, you’re pretty damn sweet.”
I raised an eyebrow, my antennae twitching slightly.
“Monster? Is that what I am to you?” I asked, a playful growl in my voice.
I captured her hand and placed it against my mouth, kissing each of her fingers, every one precious to me.
“I will be whatever you want me to be, Kassie… as long as I am yours.”
She melted into me, her body fitting perfectly against mine. I could feel her breasts against my chest, her legs entwined with mine. It was intimate—more than just the physical act we had shared.
"You're mine, Atlas," she whispered, her voice quiet, but fierce. "And I'm yours."
I felt a warmth spread through me at her words. It was a feeling of belonging, of being accepted for who I was. I had never thought I would find someone who could look past my appearance, who could see the real me beneath the monster exterior. But Kassie did. She saw me, and she accepted me.
I wrapped my wings tighter around her, cocooning us in our own little world. The cabin could have been burning down, and I wouldn’t have noticed. All that mattered was Kassie. Her warmth, her scent.
“I never want to leave this moment,” I confessed, my voice barely a whisper. “I want to stay here with you forever.”
Kassie smiled, her eyes shining with unshed tears. “Forever is a long time, Atlas.”
I felt a grin spread across my face, a genuine smile that came from the depths of my soul. “With you, Kassie, forever doesn’t seem long enough.”
She bit her lip, her cheeks becoming a bright shade of red. “You’ve come a lot farther than the shy guy I once met. Remember when you could barely talk to me? Now you are professing your love to me?”
My antennae raised in question.
“Love?”
Kassie hummed. “Yes, love. You are describing the feeling of love. All those feelings can be described with such a small word. It’s powerful, so make sure you don’t misuse it.”
There was a hint of sadness in her voice.
“Do you doubt my affection?” I asked.
She shook her head quickly. “No! Of course not! I’ve just seen people say it—use it to trick others to get what they want. I don’t see you ever doing anything like that.”
I tilted my head. “Who would ever do such a thing? They sound like the real monsters.”
She huffed. “They are. Humans can be far scarier than any legends about ancient monsters or paranormal creatures.”
My chest vibrated, trying to give her comfort.
“I would never hurt my Kassie.”
She smiled and cupped my face. “I know you never would, and that’s why, as crazy as all this is, I’ve fallen in love with you too.”
