Chapter 40

Forty

Arges

She let her body go limp as he swam with her through the currents. All the while, as they journeyed, he ran his hands down her sides. Down her skin. He touched her like he didn’t think he would ever touch her again. Perhaps he had feared he wouldn’t.

Even though he hadn’t said it in so many words, she could feel through his touch that he had been worried about her. He had wanted to see her, and he hadn’t lied when he said he needed to fix things. His people didn’t want them to be together. Hell, her people didn’t want them to be together.

But they were. And now they were connected as he breathed life into her lungs and dragged her through the water until they were floating in the middle of the deep blue. All around her was the same color. Just endless blue in every direction with spears of sunlight from above. They were the only people on the planet here. No sound other than what he made, and even that was slightly muffled.

His arms around her waist tightened, pulling her a little closer to him. His gills fluttered as he breathed her in and his hearts beat hard against her palms. So otherworldly. So other than human, and she couldn’t get enough of him.

Leaning forward, she pressed her lips to his gills. Those delicate fins, fluttering in the current, immediately stilled. Finally, she got to touch him the way she wanted to touch him. She could kiss along the thin membranes, flicking her tongue along them as she’d so desired to do for such a long time.

He stiffened in her arms, tilting his head to give her more access and groaning. “How does that feel so good?”

She had no idea. But she’d known he would like it from the first moment she had touched her fingers to them.

He made such a pretty picture, arching away from her as though the pleasure was a little too much, but still holding her tightly as though he couldn’t let her go. All those muscles flexing, bunching underneath her touch as she tried to touch him everywhere. She wanted to feel him, every inch, all the warm skin that she hadn’t been able to touch last time because she was so overwhelmed by the need that consumed them both.

Mira wriggled in his grasp, moving so he had to release his tight grip on her hips. His hands grasped at the water, as though his claws needed something to dig into.

“Mira,” he growled, but then fell silent as she trailed her lips down his neck, over his chest, and down to the gills at his ribs. Running her tongue along those, she looked up to see his black eyes were wide. He breathed hard. She could feel that breath puffing through her own lungs, forcing them to expand as his excitement slid into her body.

“I want to know where you hide yourself,” she murmured against his ribs. “I want to see you, Arges.”

With a groan, he rotated his hips so she could see the scales slide out of the way as his twin cocks erupted into the sea. She hadn’t gotten too much of a look at him last time, only felt his soft skin and the smooth texture before it was spearing into her. But now? Now she could look her fill.

He was impossibly smooth and so damn large. Tapered at the end, and for a second she was shocked that she had actually fit him inside her. But then again, she’d done it. So she didn’t know why she was questioning it now.

Gripping the top one in her fist, she gave him an experimental stroke. And oh, all those muscles seized again. His abs flexed, and he tilted his head back, those handsome cords of muscle standing out in stark relief compared to the blank background behind him. His hair floated around his head, and all she could focus on were the miles of muscle and strength rendered immobile by her tiny hand.

“So sexy,” she murmured, leaning down to press a kiss to the head of his cock. “All mine.”

His hips jerked and his claws raked through her hair. He forced her to look up at him, his eyes wide with a question and a hint of fear. “What are you doing, Mira? Is this some strange human test?”

She chuckled, realizing it probably looked like she was going to take a bite out of him. “Hush, and just feel.”

There were benefits to not having to breathe on her own. Mira slid his cock into her mouth, sucking hard to draw him as deep as she could. The instant suction had the effect she was hoping for. His hips bucked, but she controlled the depth with her hand still wrapped around the thick cock that almost too easily slid down her throat.

Drawing back, she swirled her tongue around the head and watched his reaction. He stared down at her like she’d found a new god for him to worship. Maybe she had.

Mira took her time with him, learning the salty brine of his taste and the things that made him squirm. He didn’t have a normal cock head like a human man did, so she had to discover the parts of him that were sensitive. The parts of him that made him shout and then bite the back of his knuckles when she sucked, or licked, or dragged her teeth down the shaft because apparently he loved that.

She didn’t stop until all his gills were standing straight out from his body, fluttering so quickly she almost couldn’t track the movement. Then he let out a loud groan, an angry sound, before he grabbed her underneath the arms and shot her up in the water. He caught her around the waist, wrapping her legs around his neck as he tore through her underwear.

His gills fluttered again, and she knew this time he was inhaling her scent. Dragging it through his gills as he always did.

And then he was there. That long, bumpy tongue dragging through her folds until he speared her with it. She arched against him, her spine curving as she tried to grind herself a little harder into his mouth. She wanted him to touch her everywhere, all at once. She wanted to be consumed by him after all that they had almost lost.

His grip on her thighs was almost bruising as he held her in place, those deadly claws digging into her skin as his fangs nipped at her folds. He didn’t just lick her, he ate her. Arges was messy and loud, with little grunts and groans that made her feel like she had the most divine pussy in the world. Every inch of her was precious to him, and she never once felt like she was lacking.

Arching more, a thought filtered through her mind. A thought that was wild and crazy but was one that she could actually do in water. There was no gravity here. Nothing holding her down.

So on his next groan, when he automatically loosened his hand as he kneaded her thighs, she moved. Not away from him, but bending back until she was upside down in his arms. And his cocks were right where she wanted them.

Before he could grab her and move her back—and with that growl, she knew that was his plan—she took one of them into her mouth. Sucking hard, she wrapped the other in her fist and worked them both at the same time.

He shuddered again, his tail coiled below her as though he desperately needed to wrap it around something. And then all his attention zeroed in between her legs. Suddenly, he was everywhere again. His tongue plunging deep inside her, those bumps sliding against her clit every time he moved. He rubbed, he sucked, he teased until she was a trembling mess in his arms.

All the while, she tortured him. Mira could feel the slickness of his pre-cum coating her hands, so much of it that she should have been startled. But she didn’t care. She just wanted more of him. More of his taste, more of his desire.

But he was far more talented, or perhaps more dedicated to her pleasure. With a sharp cry, she came around his tongue. She clenched so hard he was locked inside her for a few seconds before she felt him slowly pull his tongue out, lapping between her legs with a soft sigh that fluttered his gills against her thighs.

“Mira,” he said, nearly gasping the word. “I cannot...”

She already knew what he was going to say. He couldn’t wait any longer, and neither could she. She didn’t want to wait any longer, even for what she had planned.

“Bring your tail up closer to me,” she said, allowing him to turn her, so she was facing him.

Mira had experienced sex before him. There wasn’t a lot to do under the sea other than that. Engineers weren’t shy about their bodies. She’d thought she had fucked every way possible, but this she had never done. Never even offered to do it for another person, but... She wanted to feel that overwhelming fullness with him. She wanted to experience this with him.

With the only person who could give her this satisfaction.

He coiled his tail up around them, and she had the strange sense that they were drifting. Floating in the water but slowly sinking. But then his scales scraped her legs, and she didn’t care what the sea did to them.

Another shuddering breath filled her lungs as his cocks brushed between her thighs. Apparently her undine remembered what it felt like to be inside her.

“Are you sure sex without violence is all right with you?” she asked, breathless herself from the shuddering air in his lungs.

“Yes,” he groaned. “Nothing has ever felt like you, Mira. Nothing.”

“Oh, just wait, it’s about to get a hell of a lot better.” She reached between them, palming both of his cocks and guiding them to her entrances. One for each.

She’d imagined doing this before. Double penetration was a fantasy that a few of her female coworkers had mentioned before. But that required two men at once, and they all agreed that it was so much work to have just the one man. But right now? Now she could finally fulfill this fantasy.

“What are you—” His eyes widened, and then a choked sound echoed in his throat as his natural lubrication helped him slip partway inside her.

He appeared incapable of speech. His hands clamped down on her, slowly drawing her lower and lower. Too much. Not fast enough. And god, she was so full. The sensation of two cocks inside of her at the same time was overwhelming.

She could barely think, barely breathe as he eased them together inch by agonizing inch. The air from him filled her lungs, slowly and methodically, as though he was having a hard time staying still. Slowly sinking on to him, she felt the same struggle. And finally, he was seated all the way inside her.

She could feel him everywhere.

“Fuck,” she whispered, hissing out a long breath. “I don’t know if I can... Can...”

“You can, love.” Arges bent her slightly away from him, shuddering at the movement and drawing the tip of her breast into his mouth.

The subtle pull of his mouth, the bumps of his tongue moving over her nipple, it was so much on top of the fullness. And then he moved.

Oh, he moved.

A slow glide, so wet and easy that the friction was almost missed until he glided back inside her. Slowly, ever so slowly. The movement was so gentle and she felt her body opening up to him. Allowing him to move, glide, shift until there wasn’t a hint of pain or discomfort.

There was only slick, incredible pressure. From every angle and every part of her body.

She didn’t know when her mouth had dropped open, and he took advantage of it. Arges plunged his tongue into her mouth, licking and biting until she was whimpering in his grip.

“Breathe, kairos,” he hissed against her lips. “You feel incredible. You take me so fucking well.”

She moaned. “Move, Arges. Faster, harder, do something.”

She was begging him to make her come. Right now this was so good, but she was on the edge of something incredible and she didn’t know how to make it better. He flexed his hips and suddenly...

Fuck, he plunged into her hard. So hard it felt like her mind fractured. She groaned out a sound that she’d never made in her life as he held onto her hips and bucked. Hard. Harder. Achingly perfect as he bottomed out inside her.

She pressed a hand to her belly, feeling him moving inside her, and hissed out a long sound as he tugged her forward.

Nipping at her neck, he growled, “You’re going to make me come so hard, Mira. Fuck, you’re perfect.”

She arched her back and shattered. The guttural sound of his voice, the groaning need that rumbled out of his chest… It sent her right over the edge. Vaguely, she could feel him join her. The flooding heat that consumed both of her holes, filling her to the very brim with his need and desire.

They were both breathing hard. Or he was breathing hard, filling her lungs over and over again until she felt a little lightheaded. Or maybe that was the orgasm that had shattered her very soul. She could still feel little aftershocks that squeezed his cocks inside her, making him kick a few times before he let out a little chuckle and pulled himself free from her.

“Did I hurt you?” he asked.

“Not at all.” She’d be sore in the morning, but he didn’t need to worry about that. Mira had been so certain she could take him, and she’d proven she could. It was her own damn fault if she was sore, and it would be a lovely reminder about the adventure they’d had.

Burying her face in his neck, she nuzzled into his gills as they both settled onto the sea floor. Dust plumed around them, and she realized they had actually been sinking.

He tilted back, lying down in the sand with her on his chest and his arms around her. His cocks were still half hard, wedged between her legs and strangely comforting.

“Well?” she asked, drawing circles on his chest. “What did you think?”

He huffed out a breath that made her cough with the force of it. “You stole my mind, Mira. How could I ever go back to the way things were before? I didn’t even know it was possible for me to come with both of my cocks at the same time. That was... Shocking.”

She giggled. But the sound bubbled out of her, sending tiny air bubbles wiggling through the water and up toward the surface. “Well, I did want to blow your mind.”

“Indeed, you did.” He gathered her a little closer, arranging her legs on either side of him so she was comfortable. “You are a gift from the sea, Mira. A rare pearl I am so lucky to have found. I do love you, you know. More than anything else in this world. You hold my soul in your chest. Wherever you go, I will never be far from you.”

Her hair billowed around them, red tangling around the electric blue of his body. “I love you,” she whispered, pressing a kiss to his gills. “No matter how different we are or where we came from. You are mine, Arges. And I am yours.”
