As if by its own accord, one of my tentacles unraveled and snaked around his forearm. It was one of my breeding tentacles, my hectocotylus, and the moment it made contact with his skin—I almost came. Oh, gods no. That was a male kraken’s mate bond response.
Of course a man like him would find a monster like me repulsive. And of course, out of all the beings I’d met in my long life, that man was my mate.
“You’d have to be out of your gods damn mind not to want what they have. Man or monster, who gives a fuck. Love is love.”
“Cyrus? You alright?” Atlas leaned in closer, his head tilted and his bright yellow eyes searching my face. Oh yeah, Atlas. Just having sexual fantasies about your soon-to-be brother-in-law. No biggie.
“Yes, poor Reece. Getting picked on by a monster. That must be very difficult for you.” “I really am trying, you know.” My voice was a shy whisper. “Hey,” he said with a kind smile. “I know you’re trying. I wouldn’t be here if you weren’t.”
“Ah, yeah. The tongues freak people out a bit, but they’re actually quite helpful. Especially for certain things.”
This fucking kraken was doing things to me—and I didn’t hate it.
tentacle daddy.
Fuck. This was happening. It wasn’t just the tentacles. It was Cyrus.
Oh, hey Cyrus! Nice tentacles you’ve got there. Wanna shove them up my ass?
“You don’t know shit about what I want.” “Then why don’t you fucking show me,” Cyrus snarled, and one of his tentacles darted out to smack the locker right next to my head.
There was something about his physical superiority that did it for me. With Cyrus, I wasn’t concerned with being the best. I could just be.
“Breathe, darling. You’re doing so well.” Darling. I’d never been called something so sweet.
When was the last time I’d been with someone who actively wanted sex to be enjoyable for me?
“You’re going to do great, you know that right?” “But what if I don’t?” he asked, his head buried in the crook of my neck. “As long as you give it your all, that’s what matters. That’s something to be proud of.”
He felt safe.
It was at that moment I realized this was something different. That what Cyrus and I had was real. And I was thrilled about it.
“Your heartbeat. It’s sort of weird.” He rubbed his hand over my chest, feeling my thumping hearts underneath. “That’s because I have three hearts.” And they all beat for you.
