side. Years of built-up lust and insatiable desire explode inside me as I take him with a violence I didn’t know I had.
He’s tense, holding me on him, letting me have my way. His gravelly moans fill my ears as I grow even wilder. The sound encourages me.
“I’ve needed you so badly,” I cry, jerking up and falling back onto his lap. “I can’t—I can’t!” I continue to cry. My small tail hooks around his.
He’s so big, stretching me so perfectly, there’s nothing but him and me but I want it to be him and only him. I squeeze his prick with all my might, as the scales on his pelvis rub my clit. It’s not enough!
I need him so badly the madness is leaving my body and consuming my mind. I grind myself against him. Awe and excitement shudder his gaze, only driving me wilder. His tongue comes out to lick his teeth.
“Need?” he grunts.
“Help me!” I beg. I don’t know what I need. I just need more.
Waters, I’ve never felt so close to bursting.
The next instant, my back is on the ground and he’s between my legs, lifting them into the air, spreading them wide. He pummels down into me just as his tail curls under my head to hold it up. Taking his full weight—his giant body—tears a scream from my throat. It echoes throughout the cave.
But it’s enough.
I’m split open and freed of my madness. Pleasure surges and my entire body seizes. The sensation continues as he ruts me, as I scream out in bliss. Waves of heat course through my muscles, releasing all my tension, and I pray for it to last forever, clutching onto Iskursu.
His release comes quickly when I peak again, my body pulling all my tension back and then banishing it again. I whimper as he growls my name, sliding his tail under me and pulling me back to him.
For a while, we revel in each other’s bodies, fingers tracing, panting out our exhaustion. His scent—jungle spice and brine—fills my nostrils, comforting me. Everything about him comforts me… except for the growing concern that he may try to leave me again.
Niggling fear pokes at my contentment.
When he tries to lift off of me, I clutch him tightly… not unlike he did to me a short time ago. “Don’t leave.”
He stops and lies beside me instead, coiling his tail behind me. His prick slips out, and with it, a gush of his seed. I miss him immediately but wiggle and adjust to his claim. When I settle against him, I inhale, trying to memorize every detail of our scent. For now, he’s in my arms… For now, I’m in his…
I’m not good at begging, nor opening myself up. As the eldest of my siblings and the daughter of an ancient and mighty water dragon, vulnerability has never come easy. Our mating was new and exciting, but now my misgivings are returning, even as I hold him so close.
I can be vulnerable… if it means keeping him. I’ll shatter my walls to let him in.
Finally, I speak. “You can never leave me again, you understand?”
“Haime…”
“Understand?” my voice sharpens. “I want this every day for the rest of my life. If you leave…”
“I won’t leave,” he says.
I continue anyway, just to drive the point home. I can’t allow myself to feel relief. Not yet. “If you leave, I will never stop chasing you. Don’t curse me with such a life.”
His chest vibrates, and I lift to look at him. He’s laughing? My brow furrows.
“Why are you laughing? I’m serious,” I grumble.
“This is my den, little human. You are in it. No female is brought to a male naga’s den unlessss he seeks to mate.”
“You said you brought me here because it was close.”
He reaches up and pushes my long white hair behind my shoulder. Hair I inherited from my father, so unlike every other female along the Mermaid Coast. Not even my siblings inherited hair like mine.
“What I say and what I want are not always the same.”
I humph and drop back down. “Same.”
“I won’t leave,” he says again.
“Good. Because now I don’t have to find Eshka’s clan and use another male to make you jealous,” I grump.
He tenses. “I will destroy them.”
“I know.”
“Do not tease such a thing. I will ruin them and salt the dirt they fall dead upon.”
His words make me gleefully, darkly happy. “I would hope so. So, don’t leave, because if you do, an innocent naga male will die because
