I eyed Tosha when Surkah steps closer with the pet still in her arms.
“I’ve never seen an animal like Tosha, but you just described a cat. That’s a feline pet on Earth.”
“Think of Tosha as one of your cats then,” Kol suggested.
I scoffed. “I can’t do that.”
“Why? Because of her teeth?”
Yes.
“Because she looks nothing like a cat,” I clarified. “She looks like an extremely tiny version of a fully grown bear.”
“She’s harmless.”
“Her teeth are off putting,” I said as I watched Tosha stare at me with her purple tongue hanging out. “Why are they so sharp? And why in Almighty’s name does she have so many of them?”
“I do not know.” Kol shrugged, the corners of his lips twitching. “Why do you look the way you do? Why do Maji look the way we do? Why do we exist at all? It is just another thing we cannot explain.”
I accepted that.
“I’m so embarrassed,” I whispered. “Everyone will laugh at me over this.”
Kol growled. “Trust me when I say no Maji will mention this to you.”
I glanced around the room and noticed that all the Maji who were laughing at me were back to tending to their chores and not paying me a lick of attention.
“I may mention it,” Surkah interjected.
Kol growled at her, and it made her laugh.
“Does it bother you that you can’t intimidate her?” I asked him.
“Yes,” he snarled, glaring at his sister who smiled sweetly at him.
The sibling quarrel brought a smile to my face.
I focused on Surkah. “You could have given me a heads-up to Tosha’s existence.”
She winced. “My mind was elsewhere. I am sorry.”
I eyed her. “Did you speak to Mikoh?”
“Yes,” she said, her smile fleeing her face. “He was his typical ornery self and refused to be on my side when my father requests his presence to discuss my punishment.”
I cringed. “How did you take it?”
Surkah lowered her gaze. “Not particularly well. I shouted and hit Mikoh, but he still refused to change his mind. I refused to ever have sex with him, even when we mate.”
“That is a lie.” Kol snorted. “You will not be able to resist once your uva comes into season.”
Surkah scowled at her older brother but didn’t correct him.
“Hey, if your mother holds out on your father for three weeks, Surkah can do it for longer when it comes to Mikoh.”
“Thank you, Nova,” Surkah said and raised her fist.
I laughed and bumped it with mine. “You’re welcome.”
“Did I do the bumping correctly?” she asked, lowering her hand to Tosha’s head so she could scratch it.
“Yeah.” I grinned. “You did.”
“What are you both talking about?” Kol asked, looking back and forth between us with a raised brow.
“Nothing,” Surkah and I said in unison then grinned.
“Thanas save me from females,” Kol murmured.
I hip checked him and said, “Come to our wing with me. I’m tired and want to nap before the feast later.”
A heated look passed over Kol’s face, and before I realised what was happening, I found myself flung over his shoulder while he took Tosha from Surkah then proceeded to jog out of the room with me flailing left, right, and centre.
“Have fun!” Surkah had shouted with a chuckle and a wave before she disappeared out of sight.
Kol had something planned for us, and somehow, I didn’t think it would be napping.
“You smell of sweet berries and cream,” Kol rumbled as he stalked into our bedroom and dropped me onto the most comfortable mattress I had ever laid upon. “I love berries and cream.”
I had no idea where Tosha had disappeared to, but I hoped it was far away until I had the courage to consider getting acquainted with the creature.
“Thanas,” Kol growled. “I ache for you.”
My breathing was laboured from being over Kol’s shoulder, but I continued to pant in anticipation when I realised we were about to have sex. I noted that unlike our first time together, I wasn’t nervous. I was excited, ready … and so unbelievably turned on.
I smiled coyly. “Maybe I should leave before you eat me up. I’ve seen what you do with cream-coated berries when they touch your lips.”
Kol’s eyes glowed brightly, and the image was captivating.
“Would that be so bad?” he asked, his voice thick with desire as he kneeled on the bed.
I pressed my body back against the mattress as far as it would go. “Would what be so bad?”
“Eating you,” he replied, leaning over me and placing his hands on either side of my shoulders.
I shuddered. “Kol.”
“Say it again,” he growled. “I love when you say my name.”
“You’re being so naughty.”
His tongue slid over his lower lip. “Will you punish me?”
My eyebrows jumped, and a pulse thrummed straight to my clit.
“Maybe.”
Kol inhaled and growled deeper in his throat.
“Your cunt truly smells good enough to eat,”
he said gruffly. “I need a taste.”
Need, not want.
“Just a little taste?” I whispered.
“Yes, my Nova,” he purred. “Just a little taste.”
When Kol shifted down the bed, I found myself squeezing my hands into fists to avoid tangling them in his hair.
I hope he kisses the inside of my thighs first.
Kol’s soft growl caused my clit to pulse with need.
“I’ll kiss you anywhere you want, shiva.”
If I wasn’t already flushed, Kol’s words would have turned me crimson.
I gnawed on my inner cheek. “Pay no attention to what I think when we’re doing this.”
“Definitely not,” Kol hummed as he placed his large calloused hands on my bare shins and slid his hands up my legs, pushing the fabric of my outfit upwards, too. “You think what you’re too shy to say to me when I have you like this. This way, I learn what you like and what you wish for me to do to you.”
“It’s so invasive, though,” I rasped as the fabric of my skirt was push up to my waist.
“And sliding my cock into your warm, tight cunt isn’t invasive?” he asked, his voice deep and husky.
“Holy shit,” I practically panted. “That was so hot.”
You like when I talk to you like that?
I sucked my lower lip into my mouth and bit down on it.
I love it.
Kol growled as he lowered his head to my thighs, and I cried out when his tongue snaked out and slid over the flesh of my inner thigh. He was so close to my pussy. The anticipation of him sucking my clit was teasing me in the most delicious of ways. He tongued and kissed one thigh before switching to the other and giving it the same attention. By the time he brought his mouth to my pussy, I was trembling with need.
“Thanas save me,” Kol groaned. “Your cunt is so pink, so soft, and so fucking swollen.”
I gasped when his tongue slid over my clit. The hardened bumps of his taste buds acted as ridges, and I’d be damned if they didn’t heighten my already immense pleasure.
“Tell me what you want me to do,” Kol snarled, his hot breath spreading over my cunt. “Out loud, not in your mind.”
Kol, please.
“Out. Loud,” he hissed. “If you want me to suck on this pretty pussy, then tell me what you want. Now!”
