Arrival

FER’RO

Adee’ra licks my face and shock tears through me so much that I stiffen against her.

For a moment, she pauses, hesitant, before her lids flutter closed and I watch that little pink tongue of hers stretch towards my mouth.

She licks me again and my sazi surges, fighting to extrude.

Just what is she doing?

Is this a hyu’man ritual?

She is cleansing me with her mouth?

I am not sure what she is doing, but I do not dare to move.

I could not move if I wanted to.

All my senses are focused on the warm wetness of the little organ flicking against my lips and with a groan, I dare to open my mouth.

She pauses for a second before her tongue darts in and…I THRUM.

It is so deep, the air within the little cocoon feels charged, and when Adee’ra mouth closes over mine every line of thought leaves my brain.

She is eating me.

Such a thing shouldn’t make me excited, but I find myself gripping her tighter, wanting her to continue.

I will gladly be her meal.

My fangs drip with need and when her tongue tentatively flicks over one of them, my sazi surges so hard it does extrude a little. Enough for me to arch away from her for if it touches her core, the little control I have left will not be enough to stop me from claiming her right here, by the corpse of a fallen Scrit.

That thought dims the urges somehow…but Adee’ra’s tongue is insistent.

Her mouth rubs against mine and a whimper leaves her lips.

I am already in love with this hyu’man ritual.

Whatever gods we are worshipping right now, I pledge to adopt them as my own.

As her tongue flicks into my mouth some more, I slowly move mine forward.

It is bigger than hers. Longer. Thicker. Coarser.

I do not want to scare her with it, but I want to…taste her everywhere.

She trembles against me when our tongues make contact and another whimper leaves her throat.

This scent…

This sweet, spicy flavor…

Adee’ra’s need.

As our tongues flick against each other I bask in her scent.

She might not know it yet and I don’t know if she will accept it…

I have left Edooria…but I think I have found my new home.

With her.

The symbiotes sensed it long before I did or even could.

That is why I was drawn to her from the very start.

Adee’ra is my perfect mate—a phenomenon that hasn’t happened among Vullan-kind for eons.

And as she opens up to me…as I taste her…I know He’rox was right.

He might be insane…a maniac…but he was right…

This is the start of a new era.
