Chapter 32

Brexl

I released Taylor from my grasp and laid down next to her on the furs. She gave me a curious look that I could not decipher.

“What is it? Did I hurt you?”

“No, I was just wondering.” She opened her mouth to say more, but then thought better of it. “Never mind.”

“Tell me,” I pleaded as I laid down next to her, running a hand up and down her body.

“I was wondering if you’re different, down there,” she pointed to my groin. “when you shift.” Surely she didn’t want to have sex with me while I was in my shifted form. There was nothing appealing about me in my shifted form.

“I don’t think that would be a good idea.”

“Why not? You’ll be in your shifted form next time we luminess. Shouldn’t we practice now just to see how it goes?”

I hadn’t thought of that. The next full moon would bring on my shifter form as well as the urge to claim my mate well into the night. Our first luminescence had been agony, and I had no desire to repeat that experience again. I wanted to mate with Taylor, but I still had concerns about how she might see me so up close when I resembled a beast.

“I...I’m afraid,” I admitted.

Taylor looked at me with eyes full of compassion and understanding. “We don’t have to if you’re not comfortable with it, but I’m not scared of you, Brexl. I don’t see your shifter form as monstrous. I never have.”

Taylor tugged me by the arm and gently pulled me down on top of her. “Either way, you’ve still got a hard cock, and I’ve got a needy pussy.”

She reached down between us and stroked my shaft. I gripped the furs and hissed.

I took a deep breath and decided to be brave. I would trust my mate, my luminesce.

The clicking of my bone plating snapping into place echoed throughout the room. It was easy to shift, like slipping into a second skin.

Taylor’s eyes grew wide for a split second, and then her mouth curved up in a smile.

“Good boy.”

I liked that. I liked being her good boy, her good monster.

“Interesting. You look about the same. Feel the same too.” My mate emphasized her words by stroking my cock again.

“You’re not repulsed?” I could tell by her expression that she wasn’t, but I needed to hear her say it. I’ve hated myself for so long that hearing Taylor tell me I’m not the monster I thought I was healing to my soul.

“Not at all. I like you like this, or in your non-shifted form. Either way, you are still you, and I love you.”

My soul was spilling out with a thousand emotions, and all of them felt good. I wanted to say so much in this moment, but my words failed me. I would have to show Taylor how I felt with my body instead.

I notched my cock at her entrance and slowly pushed inside her. Her back arched as I made my way in, and her mouth fell open on a gasp.

I’d never get used to how good it felt to enter her. Like the heavens opening up and filling my very body with all the blessings of the universe.

“Please, Brexl.” Taylor whimpered, and I moved my hips, pulling myself in and out.

I wanted to wrap my arms around her, but my bone spikes would tear through the furs and my claws would cut her delicate skin.

I had to settle for gripping the blankets and gritting my teeth against the unimaginable pleasure her body always brought me.

She couldn’t wrap her legs around me because of the bone spikes lining my back, but she did her best to move her hips in time with mine and our bodies met with a loud slap at every thrust.

Her channel was fluttering around me again, but this time the tight squeeze of her wet heat did something new to me. The base of my cock felt more sensitive than before, but I wasn’t sure why. Taylor had said it felt and looked the same as before, so what was happening to me?

I put those thoughts behind me as I thrust into my mate over and over again. I drenched her in kisses since my cock and my lips were the only parts of me that could safely touch her at the moment.

I did like that, shifted or not, I could bring her pleasure. Our next luminescence would be a pleasurable night, after all.

After one amazing thrust after another, we were both close. She was trembling, and my spine had grown stiff.

With one final thrust, her channel spasmed and milked my cock with tight undulations. I cried out her name as my seed spilled into her and down her thighs.

But then something new happened. The base of my cock swelled. I tried to pull out of her, but our bodies wouldn’t budge. We were locked together.

“What is that?” Taylor’s eyes grew wide as she felt my swollen base as well.

“I...I don’t know. I’ve never experienced this before. Does it hurt?”

Taylor patted me reassuringly. “No, it feels nice.”

Her gaze turned pensive. “I think you’re knotted inside me.”

“Knotted?” I was unfamiliar with that term.

“Yeah, some animals on my planet have a knot. It’s where the base of your cock swells to lock you inside your mate to keep your seed from spilling out.”

“We are locked together until the swelling goes down for reproductive purposes?” This was welcome news. I enjoyed nothing more than to be as close to Taylor as possible, and the fact that it was keeping my seed inside her was an added bonus. Our child would be the most loved in all of our dekes. I’d make sure of that.

Eventually the swelling did go down, and with a sad sigh I removed myself from my mate and shifted back to my sirret form. We laid there feeling boneless for quite some time before we found the strength to get up again.
