Jodi wished there was a dressing room, but even though there wasn’t, she was able to pick out her sizes by sight. She liked that they had a plus-sized section, since her hips and ass and thighs most definitely fell into that category.
Vorn bought her a variety of underwear too—a lot of crotchless panties and nipple-less bras that Jodi couldn’t wait to try on and parade around in. Anytime she worried about the price, he told her not to.
“Get what you want—everything you want,” he told her. “Money is no object when it comes to making your little pussy happy.”
Jodi took him at his word but when they brought everything to the register and the bored-looking female clerk rang it up, the final price horrified her.
“Three thousand dollars?” she exclaimed. “That’s a car down-payment!”
“No, baby—it’s a pussy investment,” Vorn said with such a straight face that she couldn’t help laughing. “Don’t worry about it,” he assured her. “I told you anything you want and I meant it.”
“You two seem to be smart customers,” the clerk remarked, as she bagged up the last of their stuff. She looked at Vorn. “Are you one of them Kindred?”
“I am one of them Kindred,” Vorn said, grinning genially and making Jodi laugh again. “Why do you ask?”
“Well because—we just got a new shipment of dildos they call The Kindred Line. S’posed to be the same size and shape as real Kindred equipment, if you know what I mean.” The clerk peered over her glasses at Jodi. “Though maybe you wouldn’t be interested, seeing as how you got the real thing right here.” She nodded at Vorn.
“Oh, well…” Jodi started to demure.
“Let’s see them,” Vorn said. “Bring a Beast Kindred one,” he told the clerk. “I want to see how accurate this ‘Kindred Line’ is.”
“You got it.” The clerk bustled off to the back room for a moment and then came back with an extra-large box in her hand. “Here you go—you can open it if you want to,” she said, handing the box to Jodi.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Jodi did exactly that. What she saw made her eyes pop.
The dildo was extremely realistic with ridges and veins running down its considerable length and a broad, plum-shaped head only a little smaller than her fist. It was longer and thicker than her python had been but the strangest feature had to be at the very bottom.
“What’s this thing?” she asked, sliding her fingers around the thick ridge of flesh that ran in a ring around the base of the shaft, just above the balls.
“The mating fist.” Vorn’s voice was a low growl. “Once it slips inside a female, she is tied to the Beast Kindred for hours until their bonding is complete.”
“Hours?” Jodi looked up to see that his golden eyes were blazing. “But how…how does he even get it in, in the first place? I mean, is this thing accurate to size?”
He nodded. “Looks about right.”
“But then how—I mean, this is really big,” Jodi protested.
“Beast Kindred have compounds in their precum and cum that help a female open up,” he explained. “That’s what makes bonding sex possible.”
“Bonding sex. Meaning…they’re tied together for life, right?” Jodi asked, looking up at him.
Vorn nodded again, his golden eyes blazing down into hers.
“Exactly.”
“Oh,” she whispered, looking back at him. Their eyes locked and suddenly her head was filled with images—images of the big Kindred between her thighs…thrusting his long, hard cock inside her…filling her up completely…making her his…
“So do you want it or not?” the clerk asked and Jodi realized she’d forgotten all about the other woman during her intense conversation with Vorn.
“We’ll take it,” he growled. “Add it to the bill.”
“But—” Jodi started to protest. She’d seen the price tag—the Kindred-sized dildo was crazy expensive.
“No buts,” Vorn told her. “Think of it as a memento, baby,” he told her. Leaning over, he murmured in her ear, “Something to remember me by when this is all over.”
Just a few hours before the idea of her time with the big Kindred being over would have filled Jodi with relief. Now she somehow didn’t like to think of Vorn leaving. But she nodded, anyway.
“All right,” she murmured. “Thank you, Vorn.”
He flashed that white grin at her.
“Anything for you and your pussy baby.” Then he looked at the clerk. “Ring it up.”
Nineteen
Liosh sat in the darkened living area, tapping disconsolately at Melinda’s laptop. He hadn’t wanted to disturb her after she ran to the bedroom and shut the door behind her, but it broke his heart to hear her muffled sobs through the thin wooden panel.
What had happened to her to make her so certain they could never bond? What did she mean when she said she was “broken?”
Liosh didn’t know but he wished he could find out. Right now, however, he didn’t want to intrude on Melinda’s private misery. So he was “checking his e-mail” as she had told him to do any time he wanted—not because he thought he might have anything interesting but just for something to do.
