I clench my fingers as the claws form fully, tearing holes into the blanket beneath us, to watch as I slowly pull out of her. I gape in surprise when I notice my cock has definitely gotten thicker, longer even, maybe—but more noticeable than that…there are fuckingridgesprotruding down the length of it.

“What the fuck,” I whisper. I snap my gaze back up to meet hers. “Key…this has never happened.”

She reaches between us, wrapping her slim fingers around my throbbing cock and squeezing from the base to tip. I shudder as pleasure courses through me, watching as she presses her teeth against her lower lip, her eyes roving over my body.

“Wow,” she murmurs. “You look…pretty.”

My brow knits at her choice of words, but when I follow the path of her eyes, I notice shimmering patches of dark green scales cropping up on my skin. On my shoulders, my chest, hips…even a line of them running along my pelvis right up to the base of my cock.

“Key, I—” I can do little more than gape, at a loss for words. “I don’t know what’s happening.”

“Do you feel like you’re changing?”

I take a quick assessment, feeling nothing of the usual sensations that rack through me when I start to change into the beast. Instead, there is only a thrumming energy that seems to touch every part of me, feeling morealivethan I ever have.

“I don’t…think so?”

She presses her hand flat over the top of my cock, forcing it down so that it slides through the wet folds of her cunt. We both moan at the sensation, and just touching her like this makes it that much harder to regain control. To even find the willpower towantto.

“I don’t want you to stop,” she tells me hoarsely. “I want you.” She gives my cock another squeeze. “Just like this.”

“Key, we shouldn’t—”

She’s already guiding my cock back to her entrance, rubbing the sensitive head there and forcing a groan to fall out of my mouth.

She does it again, teasing herself with me. “Do you want me?”

“You know I fucking do,” I grind out.

I feel her other hand cup my nape, pulling me down for a kiss. “Then take me,” she murmurs. “I can handle it.”

“Key,” I whisper. “What if—”

She covers my mouth with hers, kissing me deep before she says, “You won’t hurt me. I trust you.”

And when she slicks the head of my cock once more against her drenched opening, I lose any remaining will to protest.

I slide inside her, going as slowly as I’m able even though everything in my entire body is screaming at me to slam into her with everything I have, but she’s so much fuckingtighternow. It’s almost unbearable how tight she is. The ridges on my cock press against her inner walls, and her thighs quiver around my hips, a sharp gasp tumbling out of her.

“Oh,fuck.”

“Key,” I groan. “S’like you’re fucking stuffed full of me. You’re strangling my cock.”

“Feels good,” she huffs. “Keep going.”

Her hand slides across the scales on my shoulder, and the skin there feels more sensitive, sending sparks of pleasure along them. I keep my pace slow at first, letting her get used to me, just a slow withdrawal before an easy press back inside. Even if it’s driving me fucking crazy.

“Yeah?” I push deeper, stirring my hips. “You like fucking a monster, Key?”

“It’s you,” she hums prettily, slanting her mouth over mine. “It’s just you.”

And maybe it’s because I don’t have to hide from her, maybe it’s because there’s nothing about me that makes her afraid—but when she kisses me so sweetly, her heels digging into my ass as if silently begging formore—it makes it all too easy to finallylet go.

I sit back on my heels, grabbing her by the waist to pull her into my lap, and the sight of my black claws against her pale skin is erotic in a way that should be alarming. I’m careful, ever so careful not to hurt her, but I can’t stop the way I rub my thumbs back and forth along her hip bones, the viciousness of it so at odds with the wet warmth of her cunt that still hugs me so tightly.

I roll my hips harder, watching her tits bounce with the force of my thrust. “This what you need?” I do it again, my eyes drawn to the sight of those ridges disappearing inside her one by one. “You want me to fuck you like a beast?”

“Keep going,” she whines. “Don’t stop.”
