Epilogue

“No, Nicholas is the one with the issue. He’s just not thinking creatively enough.” I shrugged as Jerker petted my head as he made a thinking sound that meant he was glad I was agreeing with him. “You’re providing a necessary service to the community.”

Nicholas was just frustrated that he hadn’t thought of it first.

“Many humans do not decision-make well.” Jerker still wasn’t sure how or why that was, but he’d accepted it as a fact. “His focus on science might be why he does not understand business.”

Jerker on the other hand was an adorable and thriving capitalist.

“You’ve got a ton of clients so far and I’m very proud of you.” It wasn’t like any business I’d ever heard of, but it was interesting and totally unexpected.

He helped humans make decisions.

For a flat fee, he’d go grocery shopping and do things like that, or for something bigger, he’d charge a bit more and go pick out a house with an indecisive human.

My favorite part was the lady who’d paid him to tell her that it was okay to want to cut her hair. She’d gotten the Jerker praise package for free and he had a wonderful time telling her how brave she was and how nice she looked for a human female.

The grocery people made perfect sense and so did the hair lady, but I still didn’t understand how someone couldn’t realize which house they liked best.

Jerker was right.

Humans were interesting.

“You make people very happy.” Yep, we were a race who really didn’t like making decisions by ourselves.

I wasn’t sure if Jerker was right and that it was an evolutionary prey thing, but I was just glad he was having a good time helping people. Having more than just me to aim his decision-making and caretaking at was good for our relationship too.

“I provided several individuals with happiness today. You are right.” And just being able to say that puffed him up with pride and had his tentacles wandering over my ass. Making everyone happy made him frisky and I didn’t have to worry that I wasn’t giving him enough to control in our own life.

Trying not to laugh and draw attention to us, I gave him a side-eye and pretended to look serious. “We’re not in private yet, my naughty mate.”

He waited as we crossed the fancy lobby and hit the up button on the elevator to shrug. “This is what humans call close enough.”

His human education was fascinating sometimes.

He wasn’t wrong, though.

The elevators couldn’t be seen from the front of the building and his body was blocking most of mine from anyone who would walk by. There was even a discreet sign that said we were at a private elevator and shouldn’t proceed without approval.

I had approval since technically Jerker had a room until the end of the month. Of course, he didn’t have anything there, but they were sticklers for rules and schedules, so he still had a room even though he’d been living with me for weeks.

Since we’d met, honestly, but that didn’t really matter anymore.

“You are learning all kinds of interesting things about humans.” And from humans.

His pleased sound said he liked being able to agree with me. “My education is continuing.”

That was an understatement because if he wasn’t taking care of me or helping people decide which desserts they wanted, he was studying up on humans and all the different ways we were fascinating.

Nicholas thought all that interesting knowledge would lead Jerker in a scientific direction, but I thought he’d just end up writing a book on how strange and cute we were. I just wasn’t sure if it would be nonfiction or a dirty romance. But no matter what he did in the long run, he was proud of himself for his new career and he’d been having a lot of fun planning our pool shenanigans.

So all I had to worry about was what to do once our naughty fun was over and he could start planning something else.

Smart people were dangerous but he was so cute I kept forgetting that.

“Learning is fun, my Theo.” His voice had a naughty tone to it as he pulled me into the elevator and picked me up in his limbs. It was obvious that he considered us in private by the way his tentacles were stroking over me, but I wasn’t sure how much privacy we actually had.

He was doing a good job of distracting me from that, though. “I have watched many educational videos on the subject of clubs and the events called play parties.”

Ugh.

Since that rabbit hole was my doing, I just hid against him and groaned. “Master.”

He gave a very pleased laughing sound and patted my ass. “My human is what is considered naughty. I am a very lucky mate.”

I had no idea what to say to that but that was mostly because he spanked me and fried my brain. “Master…you’re…”

Whatever I’d been going to say vanished as he slipped one tentacle under my shirt and teased the strip of skin showing just above my pants. The Speedo he’d picked out for me was still hidden by my pants but I knew how excited he was to strip me down and show me off.

I hadn’t thought they were necessary, but he’d read online how much fun it was to do a strip tease, so his plans had changed.

“I am showing my mate how much fun he will have playing games with his Master.” Running a tentacle over my ass made it clear what kind of games he was talking about and I couldn’t help moaning as I imagined what would happen.

Logically I knew the plan.

Strip.

Swim and tease.

Spank.

Orgasm.

I also knew there would be some last-minute adjustments in the order, but my body wasn’t thinking about any of it rationally. No. It had nothing but fantasies and questionable decisions on its mind and I completely approved.

By the time the elevator opened, the only thoughts in my head were about the games he had planned. And since those games included being watched, I thought there’d be more people around, but as he walked through another empty hallway that looked like any fancy apartment building, we were completely alone.

“Where is everyone, Master?” I didn’t think it was a stupid question but his answer was unexpected.

“They will respect our mate bond and not intrude.”

So they’d just watch and pretend not to?

Would I get to meet them later?

As the questions I should’ve asked started to pile up, I got derailed when we walked through a set of double doors and were suddenly out on the roof deck.

A very secluded roof deck.

Yep, it’d been installed with privacy in mind and there were decorative wall screens and thick greenery anywhere someone from another building could’ve used to look in on it. But they hadn’t planned on anyone needing privacy from the tenants in the building.

It was perfect.

The best part was how completely illogical it was for them to watch us make love but not want to say hello at all because that would be rude.

I was starting to see why none of them had called up the porn couple to ask any questions.

“I’m glad they respect our bond, Master.” I wasn’t sure what else to say as he set me on the deck, but thankfully I was saved from having to pretend it was all normal by his wandering tentacles getting down to business.

He tossed aside the bag he’d packed for us…what was really his mobile aftercare bag…and my shirt was the first piece to come off. “You are a beautiful human, my Theo.”

Pushing away the random questions that popped into my head, like if he’d meant for a human or just in general, I focused on my mate and our audience. “Thank you, Master.”

Chuckling as the tips of his tentacles tickled over my ribs, I wiggled against him and moaned as he squeezed my dick. “Master…that’s…”

He pinched my nipples, smiling like the sexy predator he was as I made another desperate sound. “That is highly pleasing? Yes, I know, my mate.”

Someone was feeling very confident.

I might’ve been getting turned on by the audience because I was a bit of an exhibitionist, but he was enjoying it just as much. The reasons might’ve been different, but he was in full proud Dom mode and it was a sexy as fuck transition.

His confidence with my pants and shoes was just as badass, but when I was down to only the tight, tiny Speedo he’d picked out for me, he slowed things down. It was time to tease. Just the way his tentacles trailed over my legs would’ve had me hard as a rock, but his excitement to show me off and the way his inner predator came out left me shaking.

“These are so small they merely decorate your body, my mate.” He proved that by using the tip of one tentacle to trace over my erection. “Human clothing is fascinating. You cover but tantalize.”

He seemed to approve, so I didn’t bother trying to explain it.

“It gives you so many opportunities to claim innocence where none exists.” Turning me around in his embrace, he leaned me back against his torso and stroked over my chest. “Just displaying you like this would show how perfect a human can be when they submit.”

Pinching my nipples, he made his point when I arched back into him and whined, getting even harder and probably leaving precum stains on the front of the thin white fabric. “There is no hiding your desires even if you are not naked yet, my Theo.”

Just the moans he was getting out of me would’ve proven his point, but I knew our audience wouldn’t miss anything he was doing, even if I couldn’t see them. There was just enough glare on the windows that I could see a hint of bodies but that was it and it was going to drive me insane.

Did it even count as being watched if I couldn’t see them watching us?

My dick thought so.

“Master…I…” Whatever I was going to say was lost as a slimmed-out tentacle traced around the front of the waistband. “Please…”

“You are ready to swim, my mate? Yes, I agree it is time to start our play.” He chuckled, finding the word choice to be funny. “I cannot wait to have happy times with you, my submissive mate.”

One tentacle gave a thuddy pat to my dick, making his intentions even more obvious even without my desperate moan and the way he made my entire body shake. “Good boy. Yes.”

I must’ve given him exactly what he wanted because he caressed my bulge and gave me a tight embrace that just made me even more needy. “Yes…yes, I want to play, Master.”

There was nothing I wanted more, so I was really hoping that’d been his question.

“If you give yourself completely, my mate, you will enjoy your rewards.” Barely caressing over me, he inched another tentacle toward the suit. “Are you ready to feel the water caress your body, my mate?”

Whining as he plucked at the front of the fabric, teasing at what would happen next, I nodded and tried to promise to be good but that required more thought than I could muster at the moment. “Yes.”

It wasn’t much, but it was enough.

Master slowly peeled down the tight material, making a proud, happy sound as my erection sprang out and slapped against my lower stomach. I wasn’t porn star big but it was a good show as the last of my clothes fell to the floor, and Master made another pleased noise as one tentacle traced the underside. “Your obvious desire is so enjoyable to show, my mate.”

The not-so-subtle reminder that we were being watched only made my dick more of an attention-whore. It bobbed and tried to get Master to touch it harder, but Master wouldn’t be rushed. “There are so many ways to play with your body.”

Oh yeah.

“Hu…humans are fun, Master.” Understatement of the year. “That feels so good.”

What made it even better was the whip-like way his tentacle flicked the tip and fireworks flooded through me. Master held me tight as the pleasure vibrated through me and his limbs slowly caressed me as he made soft, almost crooning noises. “Such beautiful reactions to painful pleasures, my mate.”

Human subs were such fun creatures.

What else could I say?

Nothing with words because he’d flicked the underside of my dick that time and just lit me up. He completely turned my brain off and even my legs decided that they didn’t need to work, but that wasn’t a problem for my Master.

No, he just lifted me up and gave me another slap to the head of my dick, making pleased sounds as I cried out and shook. All it would’ve taken was one tentacle wrapped around my dick to have made me come, but Master wasn’t ready to hurry playtime and he was very careful not to push me to that point.

Mindreading Doms could be great but sometimes they were just designed to make subs insane.

“You are so close to your pleasure already, my Theo.” Nuzzling against my neck, he steadily moved us backward until we were slowly sinking into the water. “Now it is time to relax. You are too wonderful to rush, my mate.”

The cool caress of the water helped that plan somewhat, and I eased back from the edge enough to know that the faintest caress wouldn’t set me off any longer. That didn’t last as long as he probably thought it would, though.

I’d never swam naked before.

The water was like a thousand tentacles that were caressing me everywhere and his limbs just made me feel even more naked. Jerker probably didn’t understand exactly why it was getting such a good reaction but he could tell I was having fun.

As his limbs stretched out my legs so I was using him as a pillow while the rest of me floated, his happy sounds came out and he was vibrating with excitement. “Humans have such wonderful responses to water. You were made to be ours without ever knowing it.”

There was a certain logic to his statement. But I didn’t have nearly enough functioning brain power to appreciate how we were made for each other. I’d tell him how perfect he was later. For the time being, I was just going to focus on not flying apart into a million different pieces.

“You have so many wonderful places to enjoy and your bodies produce so much pleasure.” He might’ve been talking about orgasms or just pheromones, but as one tentacle eased inside me, I lost the last of my remaining brain cells.

As they scattered, he thickened his tentacle and started fucking me slowly as the rest of his limbs caressed over every inch at the same time. Every tentacle. Without having to support his own weight, all he had to focus on was using his body to play with mine.

Nubs plucked at my nipples and fucked my slit.

Tentacles spread my legs wider and let the water caress over my balls.

He even slipped one small one between my lips.

My eyes closed as the mix of pleasures washed through me as I sucked, and I couldn’t have explained the mix of erotic and relaxing sensations that kept rolling through me even if I’d wanted to. Master and the water caressed every inch of me and it was better than I’d ever imagined.

Subspace surrounded us and Master’s tight hold was the only thing that kept me grounded to reality.

Even that was precarious.

His limbs trailed around me and I knew how crazy it probably looked with his tentacles whirling around me, but just imagining the scene had the warm blanket of subspace inching closer again. The tugs on my nipples and the way he was fucking every opening couldn’t even bring me back from the edge.

So he didn’t even try.

“Show your pleasures, my perfect mate.” The tentacle inside me pulsed, pushing me even closer but not quite over the edge and he knew it. “Let them see the beauty that comes with a mate who can cry out with desire. Give me your beautiful happiness, my Theo.”

Fireworks shot through me and took control, demanding my orgasm come out to play so Master could show off his wonderful human mate to everyone who was watching us.

In the split-second it took for the overwhelming pleasure to hit, I heard myself cry out as the incredible sensations fired through me…and then there was nothing but pain and pleasure and Master’s body wrapped around mine as everything faded away.

Lightning was amazing…and so was my mate.
