Chapter 27
CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Lila
The tension on our ship bound for Celestia is high, and everything is so damn awkward.
I keep walking in on hushed conversations between Silac and Xavier, where they both clam up the minute I walk in the door.
I know they are planning something, but they haven’t bothered to share what or why.
For all I know, they are planning to bump off Tirrian the minute his back is turned.
Speaking of that asshole, he hasn’t said another word to me despite admitting to everyone that his dragons have chosen me as his mate.
And what does he mean, dragons? I mean, there’s only one of them, so referring to them as plural is freaking weird.
I’m almost certain I don’t actually want anything from this man despite his banging body and pogo stick of a cock.
My vagina and kraken mourn that we will never be able to take it for a spin, but oh well, that’s life.
I spend the seven-day trip to Celestia practicing my other forms as much as possible.
I’m still lacking knowledge of my Aquilian form, so I’m hoping once the guys arrive with the circus ship, I can use the empty Aquilian pool to practice everything I need to know.
I wonder if they took all the sea life with them when they returned to Aquilia or if they are still on the ship.
It might be fun to swim with Nikos’s little friend, Sweetpea.
“Lila, we just arrived in Celestian airspace. We’ve been given permission to land on the planet, so it won’t be long now.
” Xavier comes into the workout space, and I stop what I am doing.
His eyes heat when he sees that I’m in my own warlock form, and he stalks quickly toward me, wrapping his arms around me and kissing me hard despite how sweaty I am.
I’ve been levitating the gym equipment to build up my strength, and it’s hard work, but I’m finally getting there. I can now lift a whole weight bench, and these ones are a lot heavier because they are designed to withstand shifter and Vilaxian strength.
“You are so beautiful.” Xavier looks down at me with a gentle smile.
“You’re just saying that because I ended up with marks similar to yours.” I rest my head against his chest, physically and emotionally exhausted.
“No, phoeall, I loved you when you just looked like you and was the happiest man alive, knowing you were my intimate. It doesn’t matter what form you are in, you are beautiful.”
“Even in half kraken form?” I ask him, and he winks.
“Especially in half kraken form. How about we have a quick shower and freshen up for Celestia, and I can show you just how much I love every form?” he mutters as he presses little kisses all over my face.
“Even my Barcoa form?” I ask him, smirking, and the kisses trail off and he grimaces.
“Okay, I lied, not that form, and if you ever try to get me to suck that elbow cock, I will gag. It was all kinds of gross, but the look on Tirrian’s face was priceless. I wish I’d thought to take a picture.”
I chuckle as he leads me out of the equipment room and onto the flight deck of the small space craft.
Silac and Tirrian are there. Silac smiles tentatively at me, but the dragon doesn’t even turn around.
I don’t care, though, because filling the viewing window is the most wonderful sight in the world.
It’s the circus ship docked at a large space station orbiting Celestia.
“They are here,” I whisper and turn to my warlock mate. “I want to shower in my room.”
“Your wish is my command, phoeall.” He wraps his arms around me and looks at Silac. “I’ll be back for both of you in a little while.”
Silac nods, and I feel Xavier’s mist cover us before the familiar lurch of teleporting. When the mist clears, we’re in a large, unfamiliar living area, but it doesn’t even matter, because sitting on the sofa with a beer in his hand is my kraken.
“Cas!” I squeal and throw myself at him. He just has time to put his beer down before he catches me.
“Lila.” He mashes his mouth to mine, and we kiss like we haven’t seen each other in years rather than almost two weeks. I straddle him and wrap my arms around his neck, grinding down onto his lap. My hormones scream with joy now that we are back within reach of all of our mates.
“Where are the children?” I hear Xavier ask, but Cas doesn’t pull his mouth away from me. His hands roam my body, tugging at my shirt at the same time as I tug at his. His fingers find a nipple, and he tweaks it, swallowing the responding moan.
“They are asleep in their swim pods. They’ve only just gone down, so we’ve got a while. And Maxsim and Echo are in the lightning cat cave, so it’s only the four of us.” Link is the one who answers, but the familiar smell of marshmallows and chocolate tells me Saxon is in the room too.
“Well, how about we take this to Lila’s bedroom and you guys can show your wife exactly how much you missed her?”
That gets my attention, and I pull away from Caspian, blinking rapidly. “I’m finally getting an orgy?”
The guys chuckle, and Xavier nods his head. “If that’s what you would like.”
I scramble off Caspian’s lap and hurry to where my bedroom used to be, hoping the others are on my tail.
I screech to a halt when I open the door.
Instead of my bedroom, there is a swimming pool where it used to be.
It’s nowhere as big as the Aquilian pool, but it’s enough that Caspian, the babies, and I can all have a swim together in our kraken forms. I look around the room, and the whole area has been redeveloped.
“Holy shit. How did this happen? That looks deep.”
“It is.” Caspian slides in next to me. “While you and I were swimming beneath the ocean, waiting for our babies to come, the guys were all involved in the redesign of our living space. Originally, your grandpas were going to keep their suite on this level as well as the captain’s, but when it became clear that you may end up with lots of mates, they decided to leave this whole level as the flight deck and your suite.
We have swallowed up all the others and created a living space in which we are all going to be happy. ”
“There’s the pool and an ice den for the cats.
They are down in the old one retrieving their things and cleaning out Natalia’s crap for when the other cats return,” Link says behind us.
“As well as a huge gymnasium designed to suit all of our requirements, with a large sparring space for Saxon. And look at this.” Link takes my hand and drags me away from the pool.
I hear one of the others close the door as we move down a long corridor.
“That’s the gaming and theater room just there.
” He points out another door. “We thought it would be a good idea to have our own. Our children will get in the way of the rest of the crew if we allow them to. This way the crew gets to have their own entertainment without having to worry about scarring fragile little minds.”
I think about the different entertainment options available around the ship and decide it’s probably a pretty good idea.
“We don’t have a lot of families on the ship, do we?” I don’t remember seeing children at any other time.
“No, most families return to their home planets once they are ready to have children, like the Aquilian pod.” Before I can ask any more questions, Link stops at another door, and it opens wide. The smell of paper hits me in the face, and I feel a grin spread across my lips.
“A library. Awesome.” I peer in and see it’s a library to make a bitch swoon, with a huge fireplace, a comfy seating area, and a sliding ladder. “You win favorite husband today.” I throw my arms around Link’s neck and kiss him hard.
“Hey,” I hear Saxon and Cas grumble, and I grin against Link’s lips.
Pulling away, I look at the others. “So where are our bedrooms? Mine specifically.” I’m impatient to get all of these men out of their clothes. I want their cocks, and I want them now.
“You know I hate to be the voice of reason, but shouldn’t we heal John first and then have a celebratory orgy after?”
I glare at the warlock who, for the first time ever, is blowing off sex to be sensible. “Dude, shut your bleeping mouth. You’re the one who had the idea in the first place. You pussy tease,” I snap at him, and all four of them chuckle. Xavier holds his hands up defensively.
“I know, I wasn’t thinking straight. I was overwhelmed by you and Caspian. Imagine if it was one of us waiting to be cured. I’m just saying.”
Damn him for playing the angel on my shoulder when the devil on the other one wants them to make me see Jesus.
“How about we compromise? You need blood, so let Saxon join you in the shower while Link, Cas, and I make arrangements to teleport down onto the planet. Link can ready the flower for transport, and Cas and I can get the babies ready.” Xavier is being the voice of reason, and I kind of want to shove my Barcoa elbow cock in his mouth just because, but he’s right.
The flower is back on the other transport ship with the snake and dragon.
“Okay, but the minute Grandpa John is up and well again, I am dragging you all back to this ship, and we will not leave the bedroom until I’m walking bowlegged.”
The guys assure me they are down for the plan, and then we split up.
Saxon takes my hand and leads me toward where I’m assuming our bedrooms are, while the other three go off to make the landing arrangements.
I start sobbing uncontrollably the minute they are out of sight.
My body is a flood of hormones, sadness, anxiety, and worry.
I’m all over the fucking place. Saxon picks me up and races me through our living quarters, finally stopping in a large, beautiful bathroom.
It still has a huge communal tub and a communal shower stall big enough for all seven of us to shower together.
It’s here that he puts me back on my feet.
He slowly strips my body, his gaze not leaving mine.
“Never again, Lila. Never shall we be apart for so long. It was torturous for all of us. Each of us have been miserable and trying to keep a brave face so the babies don’t know anything is wrong, but they are smart, and they knew we were sad, which made them sad too.
There have been lots of cuddles and puppy piles between keeping them distracted and entertained.
Being apart was not good for any of us.”
“I agree a hundred percent.” I hiccup, gasping for air between sobs.
“I have felt longing and sadness too. Although I was busy, it was always in the back of my mind, and while Xavier did his best, he couldn’t make up for the fact that you were all missing.
Where I go, you all go too, and if there is anyone who doesn’t like that, we will just sic Xavier on them in mist form.
The all-powerful warlock is enough to make anyone crap their pants. ”
I reach for Saxon’s clothes once he has me naked, his hands running all over my body, but I finally get him stripped down.
His beautiful pale skin shines in the bright light of the bathroom, and his rock-hard cock makes my mouth water.
I go to get down on my knees, because I want it in my mouth, but he stops me.
“Far be it for me to say no to having your gorgeous lips wrapped around my cock, but we need to be quick.”
I pout, and he chuckles as he presses a few buttons and water starts to pour from the ceiling in a waterfall.
“Don’t cry, my beauty. I will make sure all of your needs are taken care of for the moment, and later, when we have more time, I will make you choke on my cock as we work together until you are completely sated.
” He leans in and kisses me, his fangs piercing my lip, and then he licks the blood from it.
A drop of his venom fizzes in my veins, distracting me from my sadness and sending my desire haywire.
He lifts me up, and I wrap my legs around his thick waist as he presses me against the wall, the warm water washing over us. He leans in and bares his neck to me. “Drink, my beauty, and gorge yourself until you are full. You must be starving.”
I think back to my last meal. I haven’t had to drink any since I took so much from the dragon.
His blood must have some kind of magical properties, because despite using all of my mimic powers repeatedly over the last week on our journey here, I haven’t needed to drink any blood from Xavier.
I keep that information to myself, though, as my thirst comes rushing back to me and my fangs click into place.
“Fine, as long as you do the same. I missed feeling you inside me, and I also feel like my circulatory system is about to burst. I have an abundance of blood since you haven’t fed in so long. I even had to ask Xavier to bag some because it became uncomfortable.”
He smiles at my confession. “It makes me happy to know that my blood rose wants me to feed from her, and that I can feed my blood rose. It appeals to the primitive part of me like you would not believe.”
Oh, I believe it, because I feel the same way—kind of possessive about feeding him even though I’m also happy and horny when he feeds from Xavier.
“And Sax? Please fuck me while we do,” I beg, and his smile drops as his eyes bleed to red as he thrusts his cock deep into my needy pussy.
My eyes roll back, and I gasp at the complete feeling of fullness as he pins me against the wall.
Yes, this is what I want. I grab his wrist and bring it up to my mouth as I expose my neck to the predator before me.
He leans in and runs his tongue over the fat vein in my neck as I do the same to the one in his wrist. In sync, we strike as one before pulling away and feeding deeply on one another.
Saxon’s hips piston his cock in and out of my pussy, drawing out my pleasure much the same way he draws the blood from my body.
It’s exquisite, and it barely takes any time before I’m coming hard.
My first orgasm thunders through my body, but neither of us let up.
Together, we drink our fill while finding our pleasure until both of us are thoroughly sated.
A nap would be nice now, but we have a job to do and babies to snuggle. There is no rest for the weary, but it sure is a great state to be in.
