Chapter 18
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Akai didn’t want to stop holding or kissing Cole in case he changed his mind, and Akai found himself sleeping on the deck instead of in bed next to his human.
So far, kissing a human wasn’t too different from kissing a monster.
Yes, Cole was shorter than him, and instead of smooth hair on his face, his jaw was lined with rough stubble, but he also fit against him nicely.
Did that mean they’d fit together when naked?
He probably should’ve asked someone who was actually mated to a human how things worked and what it was like. He was thinking too far ahead.
This might be a one-time thing, or an only while he was in the cabin thing, or maybe if he was passing through thing. It wasn’t as though he could exist in Cole’s world. They couldn’t be seen together in human towns.
Cole could exist in his world, but that meant leaving the life he had behind or at least limiting contact. It was too much to talk about tonight. Tonight, he was getting everything he’d been thinking about all week, and that should be enough.
Cole pushed against his chest, and Akai broke the kiss. Had he done something wrong? Cole seemed to be enjoying it from the scent of his skin and the beat of his heart. He pushed him again, and Akai stepped backward closer to the sofa.
There was a gleam in Cole’s eyes as he pushed a third time. This time, Akai dragged Cole with him as he stepped back and sat on the sofa. Cole straddled his thighs and kissed him. Moving closer and rocking his hips, his cock grinding against his hard length.
“Okay…I need to know. It feels like you have a dick?” Cole murmured against his lips. “I can’t believe I’m asking that.”
Akai laughed. “I do…I suspect I know more about humans than you do about monsters.” He ran his fingers through Cole’s hair, cupping the back of his head and kissing along his jaw, testing the feel of the stubble against his tongue.
“Definitely.” Cole’s fingers traced over Akai’s stomach to the edge of his pants. “I want to see.”
Was he expecting something terrifying? When it came to sex, one person’s scary was another person’s perfection. He nodded and reached for the tie, undoing it and the button, but stopped short of pulling aside the flap to expose himself. If Cole wanted more, he needed to take action.
Cole lifted his gaze from Akai’s pants to his face. “Can I?”
He gave a single nod.
Cole licked his lip as his gaze fluttered down. Akai had to force himself to breathe as he waited. He wanted to tug down Cole’s pajama pants, grip his hips, and grind against him. He waited, fingers kneading Cole’s ass cheek.
Cole’s fingers traced along the ridge made by his cock, then lifted the fabric. He sighed and shook his head. “A second layer… I should’ve expected that.”
He flicked back the other flap, revealing Akai’s pale cock lying on his belly.
Cole tilted his head as his eyebrows knitted together.
It was not that different from a human dick. It wasn’t as though it had four heads or was shaped like a spiral.
“I was not expecting your boner to look so much like a bone.”
Akai glanced down even though he knew what his cock looked like. “What color did you expect?”
“I don’t know? Something darker?”
“My skin is pale gray under the hair…why would it be darker?”
“Because human dicks are.”
“You may not have noticed, but I’m not human.”
Cole laughed. “While you’re hairy, you’re not chunky enough to be a bear. Perhaps an otter.”
“What?” He was neither a bear nor an otter. He was a harpy.
“It doesn’t matter.” He reached out to touch Akai’s cock, glancing up to check it was okay before tracing the slightly pointed head and down the shaft, stopping to run his finger over the ridge that circled the shaft about halfway down. “And this?”
“It’s to help lock in when fucking and flying.”
“Oh…”
Akai gave Cole’s pajama pants a tug.
Cole wrapped his fingers around Akai’s cock and stroked over the ridge as he lifted up, allowing Akai to pull down his pants. He dragged them over Cole’s hips, freeing his cock and baring his ass.
He saw what Cole meant about the color. His cock was ruddy and dark compared to the rest of his skin, even the tanned parts. It didn’t match at all. Weird. Was every human man walking around with mismatched cocks, like they’d been assigned randomly without checking what they looked like?
“What?” Cole glanced up, hand still on Akai’s cock.
“Just looking.”
“You’ve never seen…”
“No.” The head was round, crowning the top of the shaft.
“Are you freaking out because mine is too weird?” Cole asked.
“I’m not freaking out.” He ran the pad of one finger along the shaft, careful to keep his claw out of the way, and Cole’s cock twitched as if needing more.
It was warmer than the rest of him. Smooth, and as he continued his exploration pre-cum spilled from the tip.
He wiped it up with the tip of his finger, then licked his finger clean.
Akai had learned at his first solstice as an adult, at the many parties, that everyone tasted different. So he wasn’t expecting a human man to taste the same as a harpy or any other kind of monster. The taste was a little salty, but not unpleasant.
Cole watched, lips parted as if he couldn’t believe Akai had just done that. Then he leaned in and kissed him, his bare cock sliding against his own. It didn’t take long for pre-cum to leak onto his cock, slicking his skin.
He gripped Cole’s hip, keeping him close.
Cole moaned into his mouth, grinding against him like he wanted more. He shoved his hand between them and wrapped his fingers around both cocks, working his hand over both, keeping them aligned.
“Fuck.” Cole broke the kiss and pulled his hand away.
“What?”
“I was about to come.”
“That is the point?” Was this some kind of strange human thing? He needed to speak to someone with a human mate, or at least someone who had fucked a human.
“Yes, but I didn’t want to come so fast.”
“Then you do it again?” What was he missing?
“I don’t know what your recovery time is, but it’s not instant for me.”
“Of course it’s not, but recovering is half the fun.” He cupped Cole’s head, tilting it back to lick a line up his throat, before nipping his chin and reclaiming his lips. “Move your hand again, until you come. Until I do.”
He made a noise as Akai let him fall back a little but relaxed as he realized Akai wasn’t about to drop him.
With Cole leaning back, it was much easier to watch, for him anyway.
The downside was that they couldn’t kiss.
Cole stroked them both, every so often swiping his thumb over the head of his own cock to use the pre-cum as lube.
He’d found some of that in the bedside table.
If he’d planned this better, it would’ve been out here. He’d been wanting to get Cole into bed, but Cole had wanted him on the sofa.
Cole’s heartbeat quickened, and his scent changed a moment before he groaned like he was dying. Cole’s cum spilled over Akai’s cock and onto his belly, catching on his hair like dew.
“Keep going.” He lifted his hips, thrusting into Cole’s hand, the sensitive band around his shaft hitting the edge of the human’s palm. “Fuck.”
He curled forward and bit his lip instead of Cole’s shoulder as he came.
For several breaths, neither of them moved. He wasn’t sure he wanted to. He breathed Cole in, the scent of sex and lust clinging to his skin.
He licked Cole’s shoulder, then his neck, before finally taking a kiss.
“I think I need another shower,” Cole whispered.
“What’s the point when we’re going to make another mess?” at least Akai hoped they were.
