Chapter 31
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
Lila
I close my eyes, retract my wings, and lean my head back on his chest. I breathe in his unique scent and decide that Xavier and Saxon are right. It’s time to let go of old Lila and finally embrace this new life.
I whirl around and press my lips against Zeydan’s. He gasps in surprise, opening his mouth slightly, so I slip my tongue in and caress his. He eagerly responds, and one hand slides into my hair to angle my head for better access, while the other cups my ass, bringing us closer together. I moan my approval as we make out for a few moments.
I pull away from him, breathless with desire and wanting more. I look around the barn and spot a ladder leading up into a hayloft. That’s good enough for me. I teleport us there, and we collapse onto a soft pile of hay. Our hands tear at each other’s clothes—we could both use magic, but there’s something more satisfying about doing it manually.
Once we’re naked, my hand brushes against his pelvic region, and I freeze and pull back, staring down the length of his body.
“Holy fuck.” I can’t help but gape at what he’s packing. “Is that even legal?” I stammer inappropriately.
Zeydan doesn’t just have one member, he has three. They aren’t as thick as some of my other guys’, but they are long, and they seem to move independently of one another, very much like tentacles do. I stroke a finger over one, and he groans as it curls itself around my finger much like a monkey’s tail. The other two try to get in on the action as well.
“It is fine, Lila. As my fated mate, you will be able to take it all when it’s time,” he murmurs before he sucks one of my nipples. He rolls his tongue around it then nips, and I fist his hair with one of my hands.
He moves farther down my body, and my hands slide to his ears as he reaches my core and breathes deeply before sweeping his tongue through my folds. It’s way longer than I’m used to, much like Silac’s, but unlike his thin appendage, this one is thick.
“You smell and taste like heaven,” he mutters before flicking it over my clit a couple of times, making my body spasm like it’s connected to a live wire, before thrusting into my cunt. I shout and use his adorable fox ears to pull his face deeper into my cunt. He goes to town, licking and sucking, alternating between fucking me with his tongue and rolling it over my clit.
I’m a sweaty, swearing mess by the time my first orgasm explodes out of my body. He’s edged me for far longer than I usually like, but now I want more. I use his ears to yank him up my body and kiss him, tasting myself on his mouth.
“Mate me, Zeydan. I want you to be mine, and I want to be yours, and I don’t want to wait any longer,” I mutter against his lips, but instead of slamming home, he pulls away and leans back on his heels, looking down at me.
My heart aches, and I can’t meet his eyes. Did I make a mistake? Is this not what he wants?
“Lila, look at me,” he commands in that voice that gives me shivers, and I’m helpless to do anything but obey. “I want nothing more than to tie our lives together, but there are a couple of things you need to know first. Mating with me will change you on a fundamental level, mostly so you can stand my power, but also to take my cock deep into your body.”
“Okay, I mean I’ve taken tentacles before, and those don’t look that different,” I reply with relief, shrugging off his concern. I’m almost grateful that he’s worried about me and not rejecting me.
“And I need to change into my god form to make it happen.”
“Dude, I have fucked in cat, dragon, and kraken forms as well as many different half forms, I’ve seen you; you don’t have anything that I’m going to run from.”
“Yes, but you won’t change forms, and you cannot mimic me. It will have to be done in that form.”
I still don’t understand what he’s saying. “You don’t scare me. I saw you when you tried to fix Ghosie,” I remind him. He looks skeptical still despite my reassurance.
“Okay, don’t run from me, it will only turn me on,” he cautions, standing up.
I keep my face neutral and nod my agreement. His body starts to shimmer, and I feel the throb of his power as he grows taller and wider and his face elongates, shifting to a fox-like countenance while his body remains mostly the same. Yup, just like I remember, he looks like Anubis. I’ve always been fascinated with Egyptian history. I feel my cunt drip as I let my eyes drift further down.
I stop and stare at his cock. The three individual members have twined together much like a lollipop, and they form a long, thick, ridged corkscrew. I turn my head to the side.
“I am not sure that is going to work,” I point at it, desperate to give it a go, but my pussy is not shaped correctly.
“The fronds at my back will sprinkle you with my godly essence, thus fortifying you to be able to take both my cock and my seed and survive, transforming you to have a small sliver of godly essence.”
“Okay, I’m down. Start spreading the godly essence.” I hold out my hands, wanting to feel all that deep inside me. I guess kissing is out now.
“I don’t disgust you?” He sounds surprised, and I shake my head.
“Not in the least. I think you’re fucking sexy. I’m sad we won’t be able to kiss, but get down here and wreck my pussy with that thing.”
“Huh, Link said you’d enjoy the challenge,” I hear him mutter as he kneels and situates himself between my spread thighs.
The new frond appendages lift up and over him kind of like an umbrella, and then they start to shimmer, and green and gold glittery dust drifts down over my body. I feel it as the dust absorbs into my skin. It’s like a pure shot of liquid ecstasy, and I orgasm on the spot without him even touching me. My pussy gushes a thick liquid, and I worry I peed myself.
“Good, your pussy is preparing for my member,” he mutters, sliding a finger in. It’s thick, and he feels around. “And it’s changing shape to accommodate me.”
I pant through the pleasure. “Will it stay like that?” I ask him, slightly worried that I’ll never be able to give my other mates pleasure again.
“No, it will return to normal once my seed is absorbed.” He shakes the fronds again, and another shower of dust washes over me. I scream as an even more powerful orgasm rips through me.
“Oh fuck, it’s too much.” I grasp the hay below me and thrash my head back and forth. “I can’t do it.” I try to squirm away, but it’s too late. He notches his cock at my entrance.
“You can, Lila. You are doing so well. Soon, we will be connected, and when I paint your womb with my seed, I will shove a small sliver of my soul inside you, making you part god.”
He slowly pushes in, and I literally feel it turning like a corkscrew, burrowing into my changed channel.
“No more.” I push him away from me. He’s fucking huge, and I am just not equipped to take him, but his body is enormous, and he has me pinned. I can’t escape. “Please,” I weep, my body shuddering with the onslaught of pleasure and pain.
“Still more to go. You’re doing so well.” He strokes my clit. “Next time, I will breach your ass with one of my members as well and stuff both of your holes.” He’s hitting all my kinks as his cock literally screws deeper into me. His fronds shimmer once more, and as the dust rains down on me, he slams forward, stuffing me completely. I scream as another orgasm washes through my body. He bites into me with his muzzle as I feel his hot cum burst inside me. His bite throbs, and a piercing pains seems to go from there to the center of my chest as I feel our bond click into place. It’s all too much, and it overloads my body, and I black out.
When I wake up, he’s in his normal form, and he’s wiping me over with a damp cloth. When he notices me watching him, he smiles at me with a look of awe. “It worked. We are mated. You are part god now. Actually, you feel more powerful than I expected, considering my own diminished powers. You probably won’t need to use your husbands to power up your mimic powers.”
I pout at him. “But that’s my favorite part,” I tell him, and he chuckles.
“I don’t think you’ll have any arguments from any of us.”
I look away, nervous to ask the next thing. “I feel you, but you don’t feel me, right?” I ask him, and his smile drops. I feel sick with disappointment.
“No, but I’m hoping that might change if we join in the Skarrian way.” I try to think about how many orgasms I had, but he only had one. We need to try that four more times.
I smile at him and hold out a hand so he can help me up. “Okay, I can get down with that. Now let’s go see what I can do for those steggies.”
W e finish healing the adorable mini steggies. I’m quite enamored with them and like the idea of adding a steggy polo act to the show. Maybe we can get volunteers from the audience to be the players. It’s something to think about. Connor and Saxon return, confirming they contained Htaed in his enclosure and changed the security so that only me or my grandpas can let him out again.
We leave Connor combing through security footage in the hopes he can find who was responsible for the chaos, and we return home to our own brand of chaos. Dinner has been eaten, and board games are being argued over and distributed.
“Mama, will you play the twisty with us?” Cordelia asks, pointing at the mat on the floor. Nik is sitting with Typhoon and Hali, and they are in charge of the spinner. They are a little too young to join in with the game. Cas is in half kraken form, and I frown.
“I’m pretty sure that’s cheating,” I tell him, pointing to all his extra limbs, and he grins.
“The kids have something they want to show you,” he says as I look around the room to make sure everyone is okay. “There are instructions, Lila. They will be fine,” he assures me, and I relent and join him. I giggle when I see that Echo and Maxsim have chosen to play Jenga. I’m not sure how they are going to manage that with their paws, but it should be entertaining.
I get down on the floor, and I’m swarmed by the older children. “What do you want to show me?” I ask after smothering them all with kisses and enjoying their delighted giggles.
“Look, Mama.” Jack puffs out his chest proudly, and my mouth drops open as he changes into half form. The girls are quick to copy him, and I clap and cheer and celebrate their new milestone.
“So we’re all going to play in half form. You need to shift,” Cas tells me, his eyes sparkling with more than just fun.
“Well, as long as all tentacles stay inside the vehicle while the ride is operational,” I tell him, using code, and he bursts into laughter at my suggestive words.
“But of course, my dear. There are children present,” he replies, giving me a wink.
“We made a few moderations to the spinner.” Nikos holds up the new spinner, which has eight numbered tentacles on it. Link comes over and starts writing numbers on each of the children and Cas. When he gets to me, he gives me a kiss and waits for me to shift.
“How are the twins?” I ask him.
“They are alright. They are pain free and in the same kind of stasis as Liliana. Spend time with your family, and you can finish healing them when the children go to bed.”
“I can go now,” I argue. “I actually got a huge burst of power from Zeydan while we were at the sanctuary, and I feel the strongest I ever have,” I tell him, and he looks intrigued.
My gaze slides to Xavier, who is pretending not to pay attention, but I know he heard.
“Huh, that’s interesting. I wonder why you can absorb power from him. Did you mate in the way of the gods? Or do you think that it worked because he is a god?” Link asks as I strip and shift, and he numbers each of my tentacles.
“I mated him. I decided it was time to embrace my new destiny. I think maybe there was a part of me that hadn’t completely accepted everything, and it was making things difficult. I’m hoping things will be different from now on. I shouldn’t be fatigued so quickly, according to what Oshan told me.”
“Well, that’s great. Alright, you’re all set. Have fun,” he tells me before moving over to a table with Brannock, Tirrian, and Silac. Tirrian is dealing cards, and bets are being placed.
“Ah, I think you’re missing the point of Go Fish,” I call out, but Brannock waves a hand.
“Hush, woman. I am a Go Fish champion, thanks to Chloe’s fascination with the game. I’m about to win big. Don’t slow my roll.”
I smirk at my Aaz’axian, the last one remaining to seal the mating bond. I will be concentrating on him and making sure Zeydan is locked down as soon as possible, but now is not the time or place to be thinking about it. I’m just thankful my grandpas can’t smell how horny I am.
I leave them be and turn my attention to the others. William, Eric, John, Ghosie, Xavier, and Zeydan are all sitting around a Clue board, and William is dealing the cards and explaining the game to everyone.
“No mind reading allowed. Work out the murderer by playing the game,” I call out to both Zeydan and Xavier, who look at me with suspiciously innocent expressions. Xavier winks at me, so hopefully he’s over his little snit. We’ll have to talk about it, but it can wait.
“Where’s Saxon?” I ask, looking for my final mate who seems to be missing. I didn’t see where he went when we arrived home.
“He went for a shower and needs to feed. He grabbed a bag and said to tell you to stop feeling guilty,” Caspian says, waving for Nikos to spin the spinner. “He said he’ll join in with cards on the next round.”
I do feel incredibly guilty and have to count my blessings that he’s a patient and understanding male.
Playing Twister with five eight-legged krakens playing is not an easy challenge. We aren’t even supposed to have five people playing at once, but the kids didn’t want to hear it, so we do our best, but the five of us end up tangled so badly that when Saxon returns, he has to physically help us unknot. The children are revved up and beside themselves with giggles by the end of it, so when Eric solves Clue, Zeydan stands up.
“How about we go run some of that energy off outside before we go to bed?” he suggests, pointing out the patio doors where it has started snowing.
The children cheer, and it takes us another half hour to get them bundled up in their adorable snowsuits, hats, gloves, and boots. The two cats go out with them, and I lean against the doorframe and watch as Cordy, Cally, and Jack try to teach Ty and Hali to roll snowballs. They only end up throwing tiny fistfuls, so they abandon that and make snow angels instead.
A knock on the front door brings my attention back inside. “Are we expecting anyone?” I ask, but everyone looks as bewildered as I am.
John gets up and goes to see who it is, and I blink in surprise as he returns with Vivian in tow.
“Vivian, what a surprise,” Eric greets his sister-in-law sarcastically. There’s no love lost there. “To what do we owe this visit to?”
I deliberated whether or not to contact her and let her know about Phillip and Fiona, and in the end, I had chosen not to out of caution, just in case she is mixed up with all of this.
I turn my attention to Vivian, surprised at what I’m seeing. Unlike the perfectly put together woman I met the first time we came to Skarr, this woman is completely different. Her smile is forced, and she looks rough. Her clothes aren’t as perfectly pressed as they were the last time she was here, and she has dark circles under her eyes. She wrings her hands together, drawing my attention to them, and I notice her knuckles are bruised and one of them is split and oozing.
Saxon’s nose flares, and he zeroes in on the same thing I do. That’s interesting, considering we found my cousins barely hanging on to their lives at the dino sanctuary, beaten to within an inch of their lives before being attacked by a rampaging raptor.
She takes a deep breath, and it’s like she pulls herself together, straightening her back. “I heard that you found Liliana. I wasn’t waiting for an invitation to visit my sister. I want to see her,” she demands haughtily.
“Well, she’s still hasn’t regained consciousness yet,” William explains coldly.
“I would like to sit with her anyway.” Vivian doesn’t seem inclined to take no for an answer.
Link stands up, abandoning his hand of Go Fish somewhat reluctantly. I’m pretty sure he is winning, looking at the pile of cards next to him.
“I’ll just go check on her if you give me a moment.” He hurries in the direction of my grandpas’ wing, where Liliana and my two cousins are. Hell, how are we going to explain that? Maybe Link is going to move them into another room until we can learn the truth from them. It’s better that she doesn’t know they are here.
Xavier, can you help him? I ask, sending the thought to his mind, and he stands up and wanders subtly in the opposite direction, but I know as soon as he is out of sight, he will teleport to help Link.
Vivian looks around the room, unable to hide her disgust as she takes in all my remaining mates. “Quite the menagerie you have here, William,” she sneers at my grandpa, who leans back in his chair and just grins.
“Yes, our Lila has mated some of the most powerful beings in the universe,” he replies, acknowledging her slight and turning it upside down. “We couldn’t be happier that our legacies will be continued for many years to come. We have two new grandbabies—two more Adams to take on the mantle of the circus.” He is not so subtly rubbing that she is not an Adams in her face while gesturing to the children playing outside. She follows his gaze, and I watch as her mouth drops open, and she pales considerably before she starts to back out of the room.
“You know what? I don’t have time to wait for permission to see my sister. I’ll come back another time when you aren’t so inundated.” She quickly turns and hurries back the way she came, leaving us to exchange confused looks. I follow where her gaze had gone and see Zeydan’s nine tails bristling with excitement as he watches the children play in the snow.
Was it Zeydan who sent her scurrying? Before I can ask anyone else what they think, Xavier appears in the middle of the room, looking frantic. His gaze stops on my grandpas, who are on guard.
“John, William, Eric, come quickly. Liliana is awake.”
The End… for now.
