Chapter 37 #4
I understood Circuli were used to the idea of sex in front of others, since nestmates often watched one another.
And indeed, it had not been awkward having Xylo watch as I claimed Odelm.
But having a room of males who weren’t my nestmates watch?
I needed to wrap my head around that. Naked?
No problem, I had never worn clothing until I awoke on Destiny.
Giving birth with them here? Fine, there is a medical need, and this is an unusual circumstance.
I’d take all the help I could get. But watching this?
I was uncomfortably reminded of the Yaarkin studies—or even the entertainment demanded of their sex slaves.
I shuddered as another contraction rippled through me and gritted my teeth.
The slicing pain as I lay panting against Odelm was a reminder I did not have the luxury of debating this.
I’d made my decision and would just need to ignore the audience.
The longer I waited, the greater the danger to my cubs.
And the longer I potentially spent in pain that was not necessary—if Xylo’s solution worked.
As the contraction eased, I squeezed Odelm’s thigh, letting him know I was ready to sit up. As he helped me into an upright position, I addressed Kaede.
“It will be difficult to do this with you out there.”
Kaede eyed Xylo before glancing at Odelm at my back. Then he nodded and leapt over the edge of the bath. I watched nervously as he waded through the water.
As Kaede stopped in front of me, another contraction rolled through me. A hiss escaped as I gripped Kaede’s thighs for support, panting hard. He looked down at me. My head came to about his waist, and he stroked back my hair as his black-slitted neon eyes locked onto mine.
As the contraction passed, I sighed. “You’re lucky you’re pleasing to the eye. And I am lucky to have you here.”
“I would do anything to keep you from harm, Selena.”
Trying to ignore the others behind Kaede, I focused solely on him. His expressive face looked as nervous as I felt. He was clearly trying to hide his emotions, without much success. I hesitated, unsure what to do.
He must have known what I was thinking, because he whispered, “Touch me, you will need to bring my cock out.”
Sliding my hands up his muscular thighs, I allowed my fingers to trace over to the apex of his legs. His skin was hot to the touch, feeling much different than the cool of my nestmates.
He sucked in a hard breath, and I glanced up, pausing.
“I’m fine. Continue,” he murmured.
Returning my focus on my hands, I lightly traced between his legs, thinking about how good it felt for me when Odelm or Xylo did so.
My fingers encountered two holes, one at the same location as my anus and the other farther forward, a little above where my own opening would be.
A shiver rolled down his body and his legs trembled, sending a ripple through the water.
Watching his face to gauge his reaction, I carefully massaged each hole.
As they relaxed, I slid a finger into each one, praying I was doing this right.
His eyes burned down into mine and he growled as his rear hole gripped my finger, while the other pushed my finger away. I looked down in surprise, then watched in awe as a large and thick penis emerged from the front hole.
I glanced up at him again. He was breathing hard. His hooded eyes focused on me, hungry and demanding.
“Selena. Will you trust me?” he gritted out, as if in pain.
“Yes? We wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”
“Grab my cock and close your eyes.”
His command made me tremble.
I slid my finger from his anus and gripped his cock with both hands.
It felt like silk, yet it was rock hard.
I could feel small bumps along the length of the shaft as I slid my hands from the base to the tip.
A bead of moisture clung to the end and I ran a hand over it, then back down along the shaft.
It felt slippery and my hand glided faster.
He moaned above me then heard him swallow.
Holding him in my hands sent a rush through me.
I felt powerful. The thrill of being in control as I held the most sensitive part of his body in my hands–I could feel my body heating in arousal, despite my exhaustion and pain.
I had never experienced anything like this before.
All my prior experiences had been controlled by my partners—and it was something I decided I wanted to explore later.
Kaede broke into my thoughts when he cupped my chin and tilted my head to the left, exposing my neck. Warm air blew on my ear.
“Once again, Selena, will you trust me?”
“Yes,” I whispered.
His lips grazed the side of my neck, then a piercing sting made me gasp as my eyes flew open.
I jerked in shock. His fangs sliced into the skin at the juncture of my neck and shoulder with little resistance, penetrating deep.
I felt a burning rush as he injected something into the wound.
He withdrew his fangs, lips sealing over the wounds, sucking lightly, then his tongue traced across the holes and I felt them close.
I moaned as a wildfire of arousal shot through me. As the heat built, I began to lose control of my extremities. My hands slid from his cock to trail in the water as my arms ceased responding to my commands. My thoughts became cloudy as I was consumed by the heat.
Kaede groaned against my neck as he pulled his head away.
“I got you, Selena,” Kaede whispered as he picked me up.
The pain vanished as the wildfire grew. All I could feel was his hot skin on mine, the lapping of the water on my feet and the arousal building within me. I closed my eyes as my vision blurred.
“Odelm sit back down in the corner. Selena can no longer move on her own or support herself. I will need your help to support her,” Kaede ordered, his voice causing me to shiver.
I heard muted exclamations and the splashing of water, but I couldn’t focus on either as the heat built.
I moaned again as Kaede deposited me in Odelm’s arms and I felt the cool glide of his skin against mine.
It did nothing to quench the heat that was raging through me, but it felt so good that I wanted to writhe against him.
I couldn’t move and groaned with frustration.
“Hold her legs apart. She won’t be able to on her own.”
I felt Odelm’s hands grab my legs and drape them on the outside of his. He spread his legs as his tentacles wrapped around my thighs, holding them apart. Odelm slid his hands to my hips, gripping them tightly.
Two hot hands touched my knees, stroking in small circles that drove me mad. Water splashed against my feet.
“Selena. I won’t hurt you or your cubs. Do you still trust me?” Kaede questioned.
I moaned, unable to speak. “Yes...”
I heard Xylo’s clipped answer on my behalf. “She says yes.”
“Remember, tell me if you want me to stop. I will.”
The heat between my thighs grew as I felt him step closer.
One hand slid up my leg to grip just below my hip.
The other left my knee and I felt something hard and warm rub up and down my needy entrance.
My head lolled against Odelm’s chest. With my eyes closed, all I could do was focus on the sensations rolling through me and the sounds around me.
His erection felt vast and hard against me as he ground it against my slit. His nubs dragged, and I moaned again as they rubbed against my clit.
“Oh Stars... please.”
Every inch of my body was on fire, and there was nothing I could do. I was completely at his mercy, cradled against my nestmate.
A guttural sound rumbled from him as I felt the head of his cock press against my entrance.
I wanted to move, to press back against him, but could do nothing except wait.
Kaede’s cock brushed open my folds as he pushed forward into my passage, sending sparks of pleasure shooting through me.
He moved with agonizing slowness, prolonging the torturous and incredible experience as he filled me.
This was a whole new form of torture. I was in a heated frenzy.
I needed to grab him. For him to move, to thrust into me.
I wanted him to fill me completely so there would be no more emptiness.
But he continued his slow press, and I was in control of nothing as I lay limply against Odelm with my eyes closed.
Odelm must have felt my need. He raised his hands to my breasts and kneaded, pulling at my sensitive nipples. “I will take care of you, my nestqueen,” he whispered in my ear.
As Odelm played with my breasts, Kaede thrust forward, driving into me to the hilt.
A loud moan of pleasure escaped my parted lips.
His hands held my hips in a punishing grip as he pulled me against him, rolling his hips, trying to push even deeper.
He pulled back then thrust forward again with a growl.
My body rocked as he retreated then thrust forward once more. I was aflame, my consciousness drifting with the burning arousal that filled me. I needed... Stars, I needed.
I moaned again.
I could feel his nails digging into my skin, though I felt no pain, then he drove forward once more with a groan and stilled.
I felt burning liquid spill inside me. His hips bucked against mine as his hands opened and closed spasmodically. I felt him trembling.
“I’m sorry, Selena,” Kaede choked.
I felt him softening within me as he withdrew.
I wanted to scream in denial but couldn’t. My body was burning up—and he was done? He stepped away, his warmth gone, and I wanted to weep, to rage, to cry out in frustration. He was going to leave me like this?
I heard water splashing as someone—probably Kaede—exited the bathtub.
“You are correct. Kaede just left and is gathering his things.” Xylo’s mental tone was livid.
“What did you do to her?” Xylo demanded.
“I have my own venom. It is not like the Circuli venom, though, and is produced through two venom sacs attached to my fangs. One of these is Bahzyl, designed to enable me to easily subdue my prey. It sends them into an extreme state of arousal while suppressing all voluntary movement and blocking pain receptors. They are, effectively, paralyzed but aware and able to feel sensory stimuli.” Kaede explained in a detached voice.
Chyox spoke up, “What is its purpose? Why combine such—"
Odelm vibrated beneath me as he interrupted, all but shouting, “That is irrelevant right now! The question is why you did not mention this earlier! How do we know it is safe for her or the cubs? If we were unwilling to test any of our pain medications on her, why we would be okay with—”
“I believed it to be safe for her,” Kaede interjected. “I did not mention it because I knew precisely what you would all begin arguing about and Selena would be left in pain. And I know it is safe for the cubs because I have used it with no ill effect on Aldawi in the past.”
“But why did you not just give her your Bahzyl? Control the pain?” Chyox interjected.
“Because it was not just about easing Selena’s pain, it was also about trying to induce her labor, remember? Master Scholar Xylo said that she needed someone to ejaculate in her for the prostaglandin to take effect. You’re welcome.” Kaede snarked.
I wanted to spit, I was so angry, but all I could do was drown in my arousal. I moaned again.
Ishing frax.
“The venom should last the remainder of her labor but begin to wear off before delivery. You will need to keep an eye on her dilation. If she becomes fully dilated and the cubs are near to delivery before the venom wears off, she will not be able to push. You will need to either assist in the delivery in that event or remove the cubs by some other means.”
Xylo’s outraged voice chimed in, “Do you not think we would have already performed surgery by now to remove the cubs if we felt it was safe? That would have been our first course of action before resorting to this... to this...” His choked voice cut off as I heard someone breathing hard not far away.
“So, what? We are supposed to leave her like this? She is supposed to lie there, unable to move, tortured with arousal?” Odelm shouted, incensed.
“A small price to pay for removing her pain.”
I heard the bathroom door open and close as silence fell over the room.
“Should we ease her arousal, Xylo?” Odelm inquired.
“I do not know if it will be possible, but we need to try.” Xylo agreed and I heard splashing as someone entered the water and approached.
Cool hands slid up my thighs and I felt Xylo’s vines sliding through my folds.
Oh Stars, yes. Oh please, yes.
“I love you, my nestmates.”
