SERENAI

Serenai shifted uncomfortably in the passenger’s seat as Brax worked the controls of the spaceship her mother had left her. She was still frightened to death by what Mistress Trembledamp had revealed about the cursed necklace…but she was also in ever increasing physical discomfort as well.

The cold feeling in her pussy from the half-melted ice powder had been getting worse—especially since they came back out to the ship and sat down.

Now she could barely sit still, she was so cold and uncomfortable between her thighs.

She knew she ought to be focused on the curse, but the icy pain wouldn’t let her.

“There—the autopilot is locked in for Zantha .” Brax’s deep voice interrupted her thoughts. “ We’ll be there in just a few hours—your mother’s ship is extremely fast,” he added.

“Good, thank you, Brax .” Serenai shifted again and squeezed her thighs together—but that only made the piercing cold more painful. “ Ouch !” she gasped.

Brax turned to her, frowning.

“Little Mistress , I can tell something’s wrong with you. What is it?”

“I… I’m just worried about this awful curse,” Serenai lied. She was embarrassed to admit the real problem.

But it was clear she wasn’t fooling the big half- Kindred . He frowned at her.

“Serenai, I can tell when you’re not being truthful,” he rumbled. “ Something’s wrong with you—what is it?”

Serenai squirmed some more, but the icy pain was growing. Also , she couldn’t forget his remark about getting frostbite on her forbidden areas. She didn’t want that!

“I just… I think…think some of the, uh, ice powder melted and somehow got past the protective gel you put on me,” she admitted at last. “ I feel like I have an icicle between my legs and it really hurts!” She rose abruptly from the passenger seat.

“ I’m going to duck in the back and take a shower to wash it off. ”

“You might want to wait a minute on that, little one,” Brax said dryly.

“What? But why? I thought you said we were underway and we had some time before we got to Zantha ?”

“We are and we do, but a shower won’t melt the ice powder crystals or get them off you,” he rumbled. “ The only way to get them off is by licking—that’s they way they’re designed.”

“What? But …but you already licked me! That’s how I got so cold in the first place,” Serenai protested.

“I didn’t get to finish licking away all the crystals—that’s why they melted and they’re making you so uncomfortable,” he told her. His voice softened and his eyes were suddenly half-lidded. “ Come on, baby, let me help you. You know I don’t mind.”

Serenai nibbled her lower lip.

“I… I don’t know. It just feels… sinful to let you lick me there.”

“I’m sure it would be considered sinful back at your Convent ,” he said, nodding. “ But remember—this is your body and you have a right to get pleasure from it. And you have a right not to get frostbite on your sweet little pussy,” he added.”

“Really? The crystals can really cause frostbite?” Serenai felt a nervous knot forming in her stomach.

“If you leave things like they are, I’m afraid so.

” Brax rose from the pilot’s chair to tower over her.

He cupped her cheek gently. “ Now are you going to be a good girl and let me lick your sweet little pussy to get rid of the rest of that ice powder…or should I set a course for the nearest healing house to deal with the problem you’re shortly going to be having? ”

When he put it that way, Serenai knew there was no choice.

“I… I’ll let you lick me,” she whispered. “ Only , I don’t understand—why do you want to do it so much? Is it just because you’re half- Kindred ?”

“That and the Ryther half of me—as I explained before, it gives me what we call ‘the Thirst ,’” Brax told her.

“ Makes me need to taste the juices of a willing female on a regular basis.” He frowned.

“ But I swear I won’t go too far, little Mistress .

I’ll only lick where you tell me to—wherever the ice powder is bothering you. All right?”

His words made Serenai feel a little better.

“All right,” she agreed. “ Come on— I guess the bedroom is the best place for this.”

Brax shook his head.

“I don’t want to be so far from the cockpit. How about the couch in the living area—that’s only a few feet away.”

“Oh, well…” Serenai had been hoping to go into the bedroom and turn off the light.

It made her feel nervous to be all spread out in the open with the lights on high, as they were in the living area of the luxury ship.

She stared at the pink, ultra-lush couch which was positioned in the center of the room directly on a rare white Trantha -fur rug.

Brax seemed to read her mind.

“Lights dim,” he rumbled and immediately the illumination pods sank down to a warm, golden glow. He raised his eyebrows at Serenai . “ Better , Mistress ?”

“Yes, much better,” Serenai said gratefully. “ Thank you, Brax .”

“Anything to make you feel at ease, baby.” He gave her a half-lidded smile which somehow made her feel more comfortable with him and the whole situation…and made her heart pound harder at the same time.

“Thank you,” she said again. “ Er …how should we do this?”

“Let’s get you on the couch.” He led her to the pink couch and got her settled on the cushions. It was like reclining on a soft but extremely supportive cloud, Serenai thought. Her mother really had bought herself the best of everything.

Then Brax was kneeling on the floor in front of her and parting her thighs and every other thought flew right out of her head.

She still had on her tiny red panties that matched the dress, but the big half- Kindred stripped those off almost immediately. Then he gently but firmly spread her thighs and looked up at her.

“All right now, Mistress —it’s up to you to tell me where I need to lick,” he rumbled. “ Let me know where you need my tongue and I’ll be happy to help you.”

“Oh, um…” Serenai’s heart was pounding now.

This wasn’t like when he had kissed her panties or even when he had licked her pussy mound earlier.

This time she was lying on her back with her legs spread and her pussy completely bare for the big warrior!

She had never felt so embarrassed and yet so hot at the same time.

“Maybe you’d like me to lick the outside first?” Brax’s deep voice interrupted her train of thought.

“Yes—yes, that would be good,” she said, relieved that he was taking the situation in hand.

“Very good, Mistress ,” he growled. Then he bent his head and began to lick her pussy mound with broad, firm strokes of his tongue.

“ Ohhh …” Serenai moaned as he finished her mound and began licking her outer pussy lips. She could feel herself getting wet inside and even though she was still cold, she was getting hot now too. If that made any sense.

Brax spent a long time licking the outside of her pussy but at last he looked up.

“Tell me where to lick next, little Mistress ,” he growled softly. “ Should I spread you open and lick inside your sweet pussy?”

“ Yes ,” Serenai whispered breathlessly. “ Yes , Brax , I think…think that would be a good idea.”

“Very well, Mistress .” And he slid his big hands down her thighs and lifted them to spread her even wider.

“Oh!” Serenai protested when he split her thighs and opened them so wide her pussy lips parted for him. “ Oh , what are you doing?”

“Just getting you ready, baby.” Brax’s pale eyes were hooded with lust. “ Need to open you up so I can be sure to get every last bit of that cold powder. All right?”

“All…all right,” Serenai agreed at last. Her heart was thundering in her chest now and she couldn’t help feeling nervous about being so exposed.

But Brax seemed to understand her anxiety.

“It’s okay, baby— I’ll be gentle,” he murmured, his eyes softening a little. “ Just relax and let me lick you. Let me make you feel better.”

“All right,” Serenai said again. She found herself relaxing a little as he held her eyes with his. How was he always able to make her feel at ease, even in the most awkward situations?

Whatever the big half- Kindred’s secret, it certainly worked on her. She melted back into the cloud-soft sofa and watched as he bent his head to lick her once more.

This time his focus was on her inner pussy. But though he dragged his tongue over her again and again and the aching cold began to melt away, he somehow always avoided the throbbing button of her clit.

All of the indirect stimulation was making Serenai crazy. At last she shifted restlessly and reached down to tap him on the head.

“Yes, Mistress ?” When he looked up, his pale eyes were burning with need.

“You… I think you missed a spot,” Serenai told him.

“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow at her. “ Why don’t you show me where?”

“Show you?” Serenai started to point but he caught her hand in one of his.

“No, baby.” His eyes were like pale fire now. “ No , I want you to guide me. Put me where you need me.” He placed her hand on the side of his head and Serenai let her fingers slip into his thick, black hair.

“Well…all right,” she murmured and tugged experimentally at his hair. “ It’s here…”

He bowed his head and at first he was licking everywhere but her clit again. Getting impatient, Serenai slid her other hand into his hair and tugged him firmly to the right spot.

From the low, rumbling growl of lust that rose from his throat, this must have been what Brax was waiting for.

He knew what she wanted—he just wanted her to show him that she wanted it.

His massive arms wound around her thighs and he buried his head between her legs, his tongue circling her aching clit over and over again.

“Oh… Oh , Brax ! There — right there!” Serenai gasped as he sucked the little button into his mouth and began teasing it in earnest.

Shocks and sparks of pleasure were radiating out from her clit until her whole body felt tense with the need to come. And yet, the feeling of his tongue centered so exclusively on the most sensitive place on her body made the pleasure almost too intense to bear.

“Oh…oh, my Goddess !” She bucked against him, her fingers tightening in his hair. She wasn’t sure if she was trying to get more…or to get away from the overwhelmingly pleasurable sensations.

Brax seemed to sense that she needed a little break because he stopped teasing her and looked up for a moment.

“That’s my good girl,” he growled. “ Spreading your legs to let me lick you. Does it feel good to get your hot little pussy licked, baby? Do you like it when I slip my tongue inside you and taste your sweet juices?”

“I… I think so,” Serenai moaned. “ It’s just so…so intense , Brax !”

“I know, baby—but just try to relax. Going to make you come so you can gush your sweet honey for me. In just a minute, you’re going to come all over my face.”

“But—” Serenai began, but he had already ducked his head back between her thighs and was lapping and sucking again, making her moan and buck against him. Oh Goddess , it felt so good…almost too good. She wasn’t sure how much longer she could stand it!

But just a moment later, she felt her pleasure cresting.

Crying his name, she gripped Brax’s hair even harder and ground herself against his mouth.

Goddess of Mercy , she’d never felt like this before!

Even the orgasms he’d helped her reach when he was teaching her about her body hadn’t been this strong.

“Please!” she heard herself moaning. “ Please , Brax — please!”

But she wasn’t sure if she was begging him to stop…

or to keep going forever. She felt sure she must be smothering him since she had her thighs pressed to the sides of his face and she was grinding against him, but he didn’t complain.

He only kept licking, guiding her through her orgasm until at last, Serenai collapsed, panting, on the couch.

At last, the big half- Kindred looked up. His eyes were hooded with desire and his mouth and chin were shiny with her juices.

“Gods, Mistress —you make so much honey,” he growled hoarsely. “ Fucking love to taste your sweet pussy and drink your juices when you come in my mouth.”

Serenai didn’t know what to say. She was still trying to catch her breath and her pussy felt incredibly sensitive. She became aware that her fingers were still tangled in his long, black hair and she had to force herself to let go.

“I… I hope I didn’t pull your hair too hard,” she panted.

Brax gave her a hungry look.

“I fucking loved it, baby. Loved to feel how hard you were coming.” He rubbed his rough cheek against her pussy mound and then placed a soft kiss at the top of her slit. “ Thank you for letting me taste you.”

Serenai gave a shaky laugh.

“I’m the one who should be thanking you,” she pointed out.

Brax shook his head.

“No. You don’t know how bad the Thirst gets.

I’ve been needing to taste you ever since you bought me, little Mistress .

Thank you for letting me quench my Thirst .

” He nuzzled her again. “ I seem to have made a mess of your soft little pussy though. Maybe I should give her a tongue bath to clean her up.”

Serenai bit her lip.

“Oh, Brax … I don’t know if I can come again so soon,” she said in a shaky voice. “ That was just so intense.”

“It’s okay, baby,” he murmured soothingly. “ I don’t always have to make you come when I taste you. Just let me lick you and clean you up. I’ll be extra gentle, all right?”

“Well…all right.” Serenai nodded.

“Good.” And he ducked his head again and began to clean her with long, slow strokes of his tongue.

Though she was tense at first, Serenai soon relaxed. She let him spread her legs wider and clean away every trace of her juices from her inner thighs and her pussy. His warm tongue felt so soothing when he was bathing her like this, she thought.

And Brax truly seemed to enjoy it. He cleaned her gently, almost reverently—as though she was precious and had to be protected and cared for. It made her feel beautiful and special and safe to feel him licking her so softly and slowly.

She didn’t even flinch when he slipped his long tongue deep into her channel and licked upwards, capturing every last bit of her honey. He was gentle going over her throbbing, sensitive clit and she gave a little sigh of contented pleasure when he was through.

“There you go, Mistress ,” he rumbled, looking up at her with half-lidded eyes. “ Nice and clean.”

“Thank you, Brax .” She reached for him and stroked his bristly cheek. “ You’re so sweet to me.”

“Because you’re special.” He pressed a kiss to her inner thigh. “ Serenai , I really think?—”

But what he thought was not to be revealed. At that moment, Serenai saw something from the corner of her eye that made her gasp.
