Chapter 26
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX
Ghosie
A fter the successful rescue mission, we move from Fluxx to Skarr late that night. We arrive in the middle of the night, the journey a lot quicker with the circus ship. The Adams brothers decide to take their wife to their home on the planet, claiming she might wake up if she’s in more familiar surroundings. They invite all of us to stay with them.
It’s still winter on Skarr, but the minute they wake up the following morning, Caspian and Nikos herd their children out the door and into the freezing cold water. It’s completely different from Fluxx, which was warm and balmy. I can hear the children squealing from inside the house as they take to the water.
Echo and Maxsim also change forms and disappear to run up and down the icy, snow-covered shore. Both Xavier and Tirrian stayed behind on Fluxx to help facilitate the transport of the prisoners for the king and queen of warlocks. They, as well as Caspian’s brother Malik, will be joining us in a day or two.
That leaves Brannock, Saxon, Silac, Link, Zeydan, and me to help Lila with all the things that need to happen.
“I think our best bet is to divide and conquer,” Link says as we all enjoy a hot beverage once the children have departed. “I scanned Liliana this morning, and I’m happy to announce there is more brain activity. I really think she will wake soon, but we need to keep busy instead of hanging around, waiting for it.”
“Okay, well, we need supplies. William gave me the master list, and all his suppliers are here on Skarr. I’m going to take care of those orders today. If I go in person, then there’s a higher chance of me getting them now instead of having to wait a week or two,” Silac tells me, tapping the tablet on the table in front of him. He’s in charge because shipping and logistics are kind of his thing. “Saxon, maybe you can come with me to provide intimidation?”
Lila rolls her eyes. “I’m pretty sure your half form causes enough intimidation, especially if you flare that hood, hiss, and shake your tail feather, but sure, why not.”
“I was planning on greeting all the returning performers. They’ll need physicals, and I want to make sure they all have the proper documentation to travel, and that none of them have records or warrants.” Link looks at Lila’s newest potential mate, the earth god. “Could you help me with that? Even with your reduced powers, you can scan minds like Xavier, right?”
The god nods. “Yes, I can make sure people are who they say they are. I would be glad to help out. I’ve been feeling useless, unable to contribute to this family.”
“Wouldn’t want to let another Madovian on board,” Lila mutters. “Thank you, because that would ease some of my worries. I don’t want any possible Syndicate members or hellacious she-beasts getting near my babies. Also, Zeydan, you are not useless. Every member of our family is important and valued. We just have to find something that you want to do or don’t. I really don’t care, I just want you to be happy.”
He has this frown on his face, like he can’t decide if Lila is being genuine or not, but that’s the thing I love so much about her. She wants your happiness as much as she wants her own. Take Silac’s ex fiancée Kinga and her partner Andre, for example. Lila offered them positions with the circus, but it turns out Kinga is amazing with children, and she will be the children’s nanny, freeing up the parents to work on the show during the day now that we are resuming our schedule on Earth. Xavier decided that their children probably needed a bodyguard, so that’s Andre’s job now. It worked out brilliantly. They can spend all their time together while making sure the babies are safe and occupied.
“Okay,” he agrees slowly. “I would like to spend more time with you this evening if you are not busy.”
“Like a date?” Lila’s eyes light up.
“Yes?” Zeydan is clearly not sure, but Brannock slaps him on the shoulder.
“That’s a great idea. I’m sure Eric can give you some ideas on great places to eat here on Skarr. Why don’t you talk to him before you return to the ship?”
The poor god looks completely out of his element, but I can see how happy his suggestion has made Lila. The poor girl didn’t get much in the way of courting with most of her mates. I know she loves being mated to them, but a bit of romance never goes astray. I hope my big gesture is received well.
“We need to go shopping for the children and Chloe. She’s going to need things.” Lila turns her attention to the Aaz’axian, who is in his human glamour. He seems more comfortable like this. I guess maybe he got used to it when he was on Earth. It also doesn’t cause people to run in fear on planets that know what an Aaz’axian looks like.
“Good idea. I’ll ask John to borrow the vehicle and find out where the closest mall is. If you have a list, I’ll grab everything we need,” Brannock assures her, and she frowns.
“I thought that maybe Ghosie and I would come with you.” She looks at me, and that’s my cue.
“Well, actually, I’ve made other arrangements. I hope you don’t mind, but I took the initiative and have arranged for auditions. I was provided with a list of resumes and contacted the ones we thought might fit the show best. They are all waiting to perform for you this morning at a local theater,” I say, not quite looking her in the eye while bracing myself for her reaction.
“You had all the acts come to Skarr to audition?” she repeats slowly, and I wince before nodding.
“Yes?” I answer cautiously.
She jumps up out of her chair and shouts, “I fucking love you!” She throws her arms around me without caution, and I melt into her embrace. God, it feels nice to be hugged, but then she starts to squirm and rub her breasts against me, and I curse the fur I’ve been born with. I try to pull away, but she hangs on.
“Lila, stop. It’s not you,” I tell her, looking for help from the others, but they are just watching with amusement.
Silac chuckles and shakes his head. “Nope, not a valid excuse. I can feel how much she’s attracted to you, and she knew what your fur would do. I say go for it. I know how much you want her too. Don’t make the same mistakes I did and take the choices out of her hands.”
I look to the others for help, but none of them do anything to interfere.
“Silac is right. Take her to her room and have your way with her. I think you’ve both been tiptoeing around it for too long,” Link agrees.
“I can feel how starved you are for affection,” Zeydan chimes in. I growl at the nosy god, but he ignores me.
“But it’s taking away her consent,” I argue, and she pulls back from me. Her body shimmers, and when the mist clears, she’s in her Carevasta bear form. My cock was already throbbing inside its sheath with her rubbing against me, but seeing her like this makes it start to worm its way out.
“Does this even the playing field?” she asks, throwing herself back at me, and when her fur touches mine, I just about come all over her. She’s activated the aphrodisiac qualities in her own fur, driving my senses insane.
I pick her up and stride down the corridor toward her bedroom in this wing, leaving the others cheering behind us.
“Don’t forget, you only have an hour and a half until the auditions start,” Saxon calls after me.
“They knew about this?” Lila asks between kisses. I pant, my mind foggy with lust.
“Yes, they suggested it would be a way to help you.” I can’t stop my hands from running all over her body, feeling how soft her fur is. I’ve felt male bears before, but none of them were ever as soft as she is.
“You have no idea what that means to me,” she murmurs against my mouth before shoving her tongue inside and kissing me.
All conversation halts as the aphrodisiac floods our systems, turning us into mindless rutting animals. Her hands rub over my belly, and I try to suck it in, but she shimmies down and rubs her face against it.
“God, I love your belly. You’re so fucking cuddly,” she purrs, and I feel my chest puff up with pride. For Carevasta bears, a big belly is a sign of being a good provider, but that’s not how most societies work, so knowing it turns her on makes me very happy.
My eyes roll back in my head as she turns her attention to my cock, which has pushed its way out of its pocket. It’s one of the only places on my body that doesn’t have fur, and when she runs her tongue over the length, my knees give way, and I sag onto the bed. She pushes me back and straddles my legs.
My cock dribbles continuous precum, and not just from the tip. All the ridges and bumps on the shaft are self-lubricating. Lila laps and sucks at it like it’s her favorite meal. “Tastes so good, like strawberry candy. All those bumps and ridges are going to feel so good,” she mutters as I reach down and run a finger through her slit, which is hidden by all her fur. I find it easily since her fur is dripping with slick and slide a finger into her channel. My cock might be covered in bumps and ridges, but so is the inside of her pussy in this form. They act like the clit does in human form, and every time I brush over them with my own bumps and ridges, it will stimulate them. I can’t wait to feel it gripping my cock.
She takes my dick deep into the back of her throat, and I growl, grabbing hold of the top of her head to guide her up and down, thrusting slightly with my hips. She doesn’t gag, but tears do stream down her face as she swallows around my thick length.
I feel my balls tighten. They are internal, so she can’t touch or feel them, but I know it means I’m going to come soon, so I pull her off my length. I want to be deep inside her when I come.
I sit up and push her off me, moving behind her and pushing her down so she’s on all fours. She looks back at me, her pupils blown wide.
“Please fuck me. I need it. It hurts,” she begs, and for the first time, I don’t feel guilty that Lila wants me because of what my fur does.
A growl leaves my mouth as I lean over her and thrust my cock into her channel. We both shout out at the sensations, and an animalistic urge over comes me. I ride her hard, my body pinning hers to the bed as she screams and shouts her need. The sensations are like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Her ridged inner walls must do something to mine, because the pleasure is so exquisite, it borders on painful. She gets tighter and tighter, and I can’t hold out. I roar and almost stop in shock as my teeth grow bigger, and I bite her shoulder. My pleasure nub pushes out and sinks slightly into her asshole. She shouts her surprise before growing pliant in my arms as I spill my seed deep inside her. I keep thrusting through my shock, even when I feel Lila’s soul fill my chest as a mating bond clicks into place. I had no idea we could form mate bonds, but I am super excited about it. My cock pulses more cum, and I feel it leak out and drip down the backs of her thighs.
Lila snarls and groans as her cunt continues to ripple with every stroke. Her orgasm will continue until I pull out. She reaches back with an arm and pulls me closer. I lean over her, and she turns her head and bites my neck, her large teeth marking me as they sink in. My cock pulses, and I fill her with another load of cum.
I groan and roll my hips, both of us snarling and panting like animals. Eventually, I pull out and watch as cum drips out of her cunt. I push it back in with one of my fat fingers. Lila’s voice is husky as she groans again before I roll her onto her side and spoon her, slipping my still hard cock back inside so I can keep my cum in her. I stroke her fur.
For a brief time after copulation, the aphrodisiac qualities recede—I guess it’s so we don’t fuck to death—and I’m able to hold my mate in my arms. I can’t believe we mated.
“Are you okay?” I ask her, and she turns her head so she can look me in the eye.
“We mated. Were you expecting that?” she asks, not sounding upset, just curious.
I shake my head. “No, it’s been so long since we had females, I think the fact that it was possible faded from our everyday knowledge. I also never bit any of the men I fucked in the past, nor do I remember any males mating.”
She turns her head back and snuggles into me. My cock pulses, and she shivers, but we don’t move or talk. We just enjoy our new bond, the reciprocal feelings on a constant loop between us.
