I clutched his horns as he continued to torment me with his mouth, his big cock, and that wicked inhuman appendage.

And the entire time, Marrex didn’t stop, not even when I begged him to, not even when my body shook with the force of my pleasure.

He kissed me deeply, drinking in every sound I made, taking it into himself. It was as if he couldn’t get enough of me, like he never would.

Hissuccasucked my clit harder, and his cock vibrated more intensely. I came again, my body a trembling, boneless mess.

He pulled away, his glowing eyes filled with primal need. “Are you ready for all of me, Freydis?” he asked, his voice a low growl.

“Yes!” I screamed out my acceptance.

“Mine!” he roared, his voice fierce with possession as he pistoned in and out of me, his darkly beautiful face a mask of concentration as he focused on his own pleasure.

“Yes, my monster. I’m yours,” I whispered, my hands clutching at his back, right under his wings, so I could dig my nails into his flesh.

He drove into me with relentless intensity, his cock hitting spots I didn’t even know I had. I could feel the tension building inside of me again, winding tighter and tighter until… it snapped. And once again, I was lost in a world of ecstasy that seemed to have no end.

Marrex roared out in his native tongue as his body violently convulsed, his wings flaring out from his back, fluttering with small vibrations. For a moment, I thought he might sweep us up in flight while still locked together as one. But instead, he followed me over the edge in orgasm, his cock pulsing insideme, his claws tightening on my hips. I felt him explode inside of me, his cum hot and thick and so abundant that it squirted from where we were connected, around his cock and out of my pussy.

When he was fully sated, he stilled, his dick still inside of me, throbbing, vibrating. Hissuccawas still latched around my clit, but now, the suction lessened. Yet I couldn’t think straight.

For a moment, we lay there, our bodies still locked together, our breaths mingling in the cool air of the cave.

After what seemed like a long time, Marrex finally pulled out of me, a shudder leaving me at the sudden emptiness I felt.

His movements were slow and deliberate as he lay down beside me and pulled me into the powerful embrace of his arms. He shifted slightly so his wings folded around us, cocooning us in his unearthly warmth.

“You’re mine,” he murmured, his voice soft now, almost tender. It seemed at war with the danger he exuded.

“Yes,” I whispered, so sure that this was where my life was meant to be had. There was confusion, of course, this strangeness that I could accept this life so easily. But I’d always relied on instinct. And right now, it said yes to everything Marrex offered.

I rested my head against his chest as he curled his big, warm body against mine. His skin was damp from claiming me—the same as mine—and I closed my eyes and just relaxed against him.

I listened—and felt—the steady beat of his heart beneath my ear.

He reached up, his claws brushing lightly against my cheek. I tipped my head up to look at him, the glow of his eyes now dimming but the predatory passion was still etched in his face.

“Again, Freydis,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “I want more. All night.”

I shivered, my body still humming with satiation, but I nodded, because I knew I would never refuse him.

Not now. Not ever.

FREYDIS

Time melted together, and I’d never felt safer, happier, or more cared for. And every minute of every day, Marrex made sure I knew that there was nothing and nobody more important to him than me.

Each night before bed, Marrex took me outside of the cave and held me close as he flew high above the mountains. The thrill of those flights was something I’d never be able to explain, no matter how hard I tried to vocalize the euphoria I felt.

And this evening, we did our ritual a little earlier so we could watch the sunset, with Marrex clutching me tightly as we soared above the treetops, the cool wind whirling around us and carrying away all the remnants of fear I’d known for so long.

As we ascended, the earth below shrank into a patchwork of dark shadows, and I felt free, untethered from the darkness of the world that had been my prison my entire life.

I clung to Marrex, exhilarated by the rush of air whipping my hair all around my face and the feeling of weightlessness. My heart pounded with pure adrenaline.

When we finally landed in a quiet clearing on the edge of the woods, I tipped my head back and gazed up at the sky. It waspainted in soft hues, the setting sun casting a rainbow over the vast area.
