11. Pre Show Workout

CHAPTER 11

Max

Sweat dripped from my body as my song ended. I stood at the edge of the stage to an audience of other performers and tech crew, and received a few claps and whistles.

I breathed out slowly and then straightened, closing my eyes for a moment. That had been a damn workout, but one that would be worth it. I flexed my hands, stretching them after gripping the straps and holding myself in the air.

The performance would be amazing. Stella had been right about it being provocative.

I felt the high of trying something new as I grabbed my robe from the stage, sliding it over my body. I was basically naked except for the mask over my cock, jockstrap, pasties, and now robe.

But, it ran perfectly. There had been a couple spots I wanted to change some minor things to make it smoother, but I felt confident in running it for the show tonight.

I bounced off the stage and was surprised to see Moss waiting at the edge of the oasis, a smile lighting up xyr beautiful face. Even from this distance, I could feel xyr warmth.

My heart pounded as I stepped into one of the small boats and rowed myself across the serene waters. Moss stood there, the sun haloing xyr horns and long hair.

Xe was glorious. How had I ended up being with someone so damn gorgeous?

I was nervous, but happy to see xem.

"Hi," I breathed out as the boat came to the edge of the oasis.

Moss leaned over and tapped the helm. I was shocked to see a light flash, and the boat went still as if adhered to its place by invisible ropes. Xe held out xyr hand for me, helping me step onto solid ground.

"Hi," I said again like an idiot.

"Hello," xe teased. "How are you feeling?"

"Good. Out of breath. My hands might blister after this one, but it'll be worth it."

"Well, from what I saw, that was a very provocative performance." Xe grinned brighter. "I enjoyed it very much."

I preened under the compliment. "It was just the rehearsal," I said. "I'm not even in my makeup or glitter yet. I was going to call you, but…" I was too damn scared too and worried about overstepping even if that's absurd.

Moss surprised me by tugging me close to xem. Xe tipped up my chin.

"When I realized I'd left without giving you my communication contact, I couldn't focus all day. I worried you'd think I didn't want to talk," Moss said. "I hope you know I've been thinking about you for hours non stop."

I let out a pent up breath. "Really?"

Xe snorted and leaned down, kissing me in front of everyone. I heard a couple snickers, giggles, and whoops—along with the pressure of what had to be Madam Moonie's gaze on us.

"NO FORNICATION IN PUBLIC!" her voice echoed through the oasis.

Moss drew back with a coy smile.

"I was going to call you," I rushed out. "I got your contact from Stella who got it from Madam…"

"Take a deep breath," Moss said softly.

I did as xe asked, and felt myself starting to calm. "Do you want to come to the show tonight? First row?"

I hadn't felt this nervous in ages. Why was I so damn nervous?

"Yes. Does that mean I get to see you after?"

"You can see me any time," I teased, although I meant every single word so much that my stomach twisted.

"You can see me any time too," Moss murmured.

I found myself falling into xyr gaze. The hues of purples that reminded me of crushed amethyst. The way xyr horns stretched up, ending in fiery orange tips.

I took a deep breath and snapped myself out of the reverie, trying not to fall too far because then I'd trip over myself again.

"What do you do now that rehearsal is finished?" Moss asked. "Do you have anything else to do between now and the show?"

"No…I'm free for a couple hours. And then we'll have the show and I'll be working the rest of the night. And you'll get to see us all."

"I will," xe chuckled. "I won't interfere as much as I did the first night, I promise."

"Maybe I like it when you interfere," I mumbled. "How did work go? I know you mentioned there were some things…"

Moss winced. "Not as well as I hoped. The Galactic Gems have been sent a sum to cover the damages, so that is finished. But the employee who had an issue has been a problem. He has a lot of hostility towards the situation. And towards me for not solving it the way he wanted it solved, which was kicking the troupe off our planet."

"We should tell Madam," I said.

"I have informed her," Moss said softly. Xe cupped my face, xyr touch gentle. "I'd never let anything bad happen to you or to your troupe. And I don't think security would let this person through now, especially since you have a prince floating around here."

True. That did help a lot. Ever since Zin started traveling with us, our security at shows increased by a significant amount.

Still, it made me nervous that someone could be so upset that Moss would feel the need to remind me xe would protect me. My stomach did a little flop.

"Why does he hate the troupe?" I asked.

"That, I don't know."

I pressed my lips together. I couldn't imagine why. An angry past customer, perhaps?

I turned around and waved at Madam, who was stationed about thirty feet away. She gave me a thumbs up, which was my signal that I was good to go until showtime.

I slipped my hand into Moss's and gave xem a tug. "Come on. Let's order some food and go to my room. I should take a nap, I think..."

"A nap?" Moss questioned as I led xem down the path that went back to the tree with our rooms.

A hotel tree? I didn't know what to call it.

I smirked, feeling frisky. "Yes. A nap."

Moss was clearly puzzled but didn't argue. I gathered that if xe had to go back to work, xe would have told me by now. Within a few minutes, we were climbing the steps up to my hotel room. I practically shoved Moss inside.

"I'm starting to think you don't intend to nap."

"I certainly don't," I teased.

I watched the realization creep over xyr expression. "Are you still in heat, little tarax?" xe teased.

"Maybe?" I breathed out. "Didn't you say it could last longer?"

"I did."

I kicked the door behind me. I locked it and then pulled off my clothes, which wasn't much thankfully.

Moss raised a brow as I marched up to xem, pushing xem back onto the bed.

"For someone much smaller than me, you are mighty."

"Moss, I need to fuck you," I groaned. "I'm dying here."

Xyr expression turned to shock as I climbed on top of xem. I straddled xyr hips, letting out a low, desperate moan.

"I'm begging," I rasped.

"Oh and I like it when you beg," xe said, xyr voice turning dark.

In one swift motion, xe had me pinned beneath xem, xyr hand around my neck. Xe leaned down, tracing the shell of my ear with the tip of xyr tongue.

I bucked my hips against xem, moaning. I was so fucking hard. I wasn't sure what had come over me aside from the full, hot, lustful need that I needed to satiate.

"Grind against me," xe huffed. "Good boy."

I whimpered as I kept grinding, my fingers digging into the blankets. Moss let out a low growl, gripping my hair and holding me in place as xe thrust against me.

"Do you want to fuck me?" xe murmured.

"Please. Please, I need to be inside you."

"Are you sure that's what you want?"

"Please," I cried. "I'm so hard right now. All I've done since this morning is think about being with you again."

"Such a needy little slut," Moss teased.

"Yes, I fucking am."

Moss chuckled and flipped us over, moving my body with ease so I was back on top and straddling xem. I pushed back xyr robes, undoing them quickly until I exposed xyr tentacled cocks and hole. I spread the tentacles apart, seeing that xe was already wet.

"Fuck me," Moss said.

It was a command. It was a command and a release. I leaned in and wedged the head of my cock against them, gently easing forward. I moaned as I slid inside xem, my head falling back as pleasure rolled through my body. Xe was hot and tight, milking my cock with every inch.

Xyr tentacles wrapped around my balls, which had become one of my favorite parts of our intercourse. I moaned, thrusting fully forward, giving xem everything.

"Good," xe rasped. "Hard. Fast and hard before someone needs you."

I grunted, planting my hands on xyr hips as I started to fuck xem. I slammed into xem over and over, panting as I drove myself to the edge quickly. I was already so close to exploding, and I wasn't able to slow down.

Xyr tentacles tightened, massaging my balls. I cried out, fighting the urge to immediately come.

"Come, little tarax," Moss whispered. "Fill me up."

Fuck.

I pumped harder, my fingers digging into xem as I slid in and out. Finally, I came to the edge, unable to stop. With one final thrust, my voice echoed through the room as I came, filling xem with every single drop.

I collapsed on top, still catching my breath. My head was spinning, my body buzzing with an electric current of satisfaction.

"We'll stay like this until you're ready to eat," Moss murmured gently, stroking my hair. "I love it when you come inside of me."

"I love it too," I rasped, smiling against xem.

Could this always be how my rehearsals went?

"I'm going to order you some food before you jump me again," Moss said.

"Sounds perfect."
