Chapter 18
Janie
T entacles wrapped around my body. Heat spiraled through my core. A tendril pulled down my panties. “Such a good little mate,” he whispered in his deep voice.
Suddenly, I bolted up in bed, sweat drenching my body. “I thought I told you to stay out of my dreams!” I screamed. Seeking solace, I flopped onto my bed and sought refuge by muffling my surroundings with a pillow. The sensation of the bed sinking filled me. He must be in the room with me now. Did he crawl from the shadows?
“I didn’t go into your dreams. You asked me not to, and I told you I fed recently. I don’t need to feed from your dreams.”
I sat back up and threw my pillow at him. “Did you even open the door?” He was in his monster form. The shadows leaked around his obsidian visage, the horns on his head glistened slightly in the sliver of light. My eyes trailed down his body. He had abs for days and muscles covered every part of his body. His groin was covered in a pair of shorts. How did his clothes survive his shift from monster to human to a stolen image form?
He blinked as he smiled. His mouth was filled with sharp teeth and my breath caught in my throat. I wasn’t used to seeing him in this form. All of this was new and I think I was handling it rather well. There was a small part of me that wanted to know what it would feel like as his teeth dragged down my skin, but I pushed the thought away. “I don’t need to open a door. There are shadows everywhere.”
I knew it. “Ugh!”
He sat on the end of my bed and I lightly kicked his thigh. He grabbed my foot. “You really shouldn’t do that.”
My heart raced for a moment, and heat spilled through my core. “What will you do to me?” I asked.
His smile crossed his face. Cold tendrils wrapped around my body and two tentacles pulled my arms behind my back. Tentacles shot out from his body, pulling the disheveled blanket off my body. More tentacles wrapped around my legs and spread them apart. He crawled toward me till he was above me. My heart raced. I bit my bottom lip as heat burst to life in my body.
“My little mate, why are you fighting me so much? You dreamed of me. I didn’t cause your dreams. I could smell the faint arousal as you woke up. It’s nice to know you were thinking of me.”
“Cocky. Have your thingies release me.”
He leaned closer to my face. “Why should I do that? You look so pretty wrapped up in darkness?”
I swallowed. Another tendril ghosted the waist of my pants. “What exactly are they?”
“The arms of darkness? Tentacles? Tendrils? I don’t know. I can make them come from me or from the surrounding shadows. Which is what I do often, especially if I can touch you with them,” he said. His claws traced down my cheek till they hooked under my chin and brought my face closer to his. “So what should you do for me to release you? “
“I shouldn’t have to do anything.”
“Should I make you beg for it?”
“No?” I whispered. The tentacle at my waistline pulled the edge of my pants down a few inches. I tried to twist my body to shake off the tentacle. A tentacle lashed itself on my torso, causing my body to still.
“Are you sure? I seem in control.”
“Fine! Please. Please, can you let me go?”
“What is in it for me?”
“Please, Meical?”
“I want you to come with me on a date tomorrow.”
“A date?”
“Yes. I have entered a poker match and I would like you to be there as good luck.”
“Do you even know how to play poker?” A tendril snaked up my back. The faint touch deepened my arousal.
“I have been watching humanity for hundreds of years. I may not be comfortable with all the tech all the time, but I know how to play poker.”
I pursed my lips. “Sure, I will go with you.”
A smile crossed his face. His claws traced a circle on my cheek. “That’s good to hear.”
“Why do you have sharp teeth and claws if you seem to eat not-meat?”
“You ask a lot of questions for someone who seems to be annoyed at my existence in your life,” he whispered.
“What are your teeth for? I’m curious.”
A tendril touched the top of my head and manipulated my head to the side. Meical leaned to my throat. “I don’t know originally, but I know of things I could do to you with my teeth.” He leaned closer as he softly scraped his teeth, dragging on the sensitive skin of my neck. There it was. It was like he knew exactly what I was thinking earlier. A soft moan escaped my mouth and my pussy clenched in need. Meical chuckled against my throat.
Tendrils unwrapped around my body. My body fell back into the bed as my supports vanished. Meical sat up with a grin on his face. I propped myself up on my arms. “Why didn’t you warn me you were going to?—”
“You asked me to release you. I released you. Plus, your alarm is about to go off.”
I collapsed back into the bed. “Use one of your stupid tentacles to give me my pillow back.”
“Your wish is my command.” A tentacle passed me the pillow and I jerked it out of its grip.
“Then why are you still here?”
“That wish I will not honor. You’re my mate. That is why.”
I grabbed my phone off the charger. He was right. The alarm was about to go off. “I don’t want to go to work,” I whined.
A tentacle petted me. “Go take a shower and I will make you breakfast.”
“Fine. But don’t look while I am in the shower.”
He chuckled. “I will concentrate on making your eggs,” he said. He melted back into the shadows and I rolled my eyes as I got up. I grabbed my clothes and headed for the shower. Desire raged through my body from the dream and his teasing. After I washed off my body, I pulled down the shower head and teased my body with the warm spray. What would a shadow monster’s dick look like? All the dreams I had involved the tentacles except for that one time. Not that it was a bad thing. I quickly found my peak and quietly came. My legs quaked and I gripped the sides of my shower to hold myself upright. As soon as the water turned off, there was a knock on the door.
“Janie, it’s ready,” Meical said.
“Thanks!” I said. My face grew even redder knowing what I just finished doing and what I thought about.
“Hurry up. Or are you going to try for another one?” he said in a lower register.
“Ugh! I told you no peeking!”
“I can smell you.”
Ugh . Will I ever have privacy again?
