Chapter 10

Jimazu

I glance up and realize how much of the day is gone. I’ve spent it all with my mate, and I’ve loved every second of it. Even when she was asleep on me. That was easily the best part of my day. She was comfortable enough to let herself sleep next to a creature not of her own species. That means everything to me.

I find myself dreading her needing to leave. Now that I’ve had her with me all day, I don’t want to part from her ever again. I want to lay next to her every night and wake up next to her every morning. I want to cook for her. Paint for her. And yes, I want to mate her. I want her to teach me everything that she enjoys. I want more of her lips on my face. More of her hands wandering and exploring my body.

My mating appendage has been half hard since Darcy touched my horn this afternoon. I’m uncomfortable, but refuse to voice it. I want to slide inside of her desperately. I’ve never been so grateful for the pocket it hides in.

We’re all quiet for a brief while as my mate finishes eating. As she swallows the last bites of potato and takes a drink of her water, she shivers a bit. I look at the cooking fire and see that it’s pretty well died out. As I’m about to stand to go into my home to grab her a fur to wrap up in, her two friends stand up and speak.

“Darce, it’s going to be too late to head back to the campsite soon. I don’t want to be walking through the forest in the dark. Do you want to stay here with Jimazu tonight, and we’ll come back for you tomorrow? Or do you want to go back with us tonight?”

My mate stares up at me and I find myself holding my breath as I await her answer. Her eyes bounce between mine for a moment.

“I want to stay here tonight.” She never breaks eye contact with me and I let out the breath I’ve been holding. I want to pick her up and carry her into my home and never let her leave. Fighting the urge, I settle for stroking her cheek. Her eyes flutter closed.

“Jimazu, would you mind letting Lexi and I see the inside of the cave before we leave Darcy here with you? I need to be sure she’s going to be somewhere safe and comfortable.”

I stand to my full height then help my mate to her own feet. Without letting go of her hand, I pick up her bag with my free hand and motion for the three of them to follow me inside. We walk the short distance from the entrance to my main living area in only a moment or two. Darcy pulls away from me as she takes in the whole room.

I’m suddenly nervous about what she thinks of the place I’ve made my home. I haven’t ever had any other beings in here. I started living in this cave system shortly after the rest of my herd disappeared. All three of the human women turn in slow circles as they take in the entirety of the main room. Their eyes all bounce from painting to painting to my bed to the large cooking area.

“Wow,” my mate says quietly as the blonde one, Lexi, says, “Holy fuck. It’s like a legit home in here. This isn’t what I expected.”

The other one, Frankie, faces me and gives me what I think is a nod of approval. “Okay then. You obviously have food stored somewhere so I know that Darce won’t be hungry while she’s here with you. You’ve managed to keep yourself alive for however long you’ve been alive. I think I’m okay with leaving her here.” She then takes Lexi’s hand and starts to lead her back out. They stop and turn to face me once more. “We’ll be back tomorrow afternoon sometime.” With that, they exit my home.

Darcy continues walking slowly around my home, taking it all in. She touches several of the painted walls and bends down to feel the furs covering my bed. I add a few pieces of dry wood to the fire to ensure that my mate won’t be cold, then continue to stand and watch her silently.

She must feel my eyes on her because she stands fully upright and approaches me. Her hands move to circle my neck and she nuzzles her face into my chest again. So far, it’s my favorite thing she’s done, aside from fall asleep on me. I wrap my arms around her and then lean down and softly rub my nose across the top of her head to take in her scent. I’ll never get enough of it.

She exhales a deep breath and relaxes into my body more. I don’t ever want her to let go of me. Her head tips backwards and she looks at my mouth for a moment before meeting my eyes.

“Do you mind if I call you Zu, instead of Jimazu?”

“Only if I can keep calling you my little mate.”

Her head leans to the side and her brows furrow. “Why do you call me that, actually?”

“You are my mate, and you are little.” To demonstrate my point, I crouch down just enough to circle my arms under her hind end and then stand up straight. Her legs wrap around my waist and her arms tighten around my neck.

“I will not drop you, little one.”

She looks at my mouth once again and I’m curious as to why.

“Do your kind kiss, Zu?”

“I don’t know what that is. Perhaps if you show me, I’ll be more able to give you an answer?”

Her face moves towards mine and before I know what’s happening, her lips touch mine softly. She pulls her mouth away from me before I’m ready. “That’s one kind of kiss. There are several kinds. But that is the softest one.”

Her lips are soft and as full as I’d thought them to be. I want them on mine again. “Can you show me more?”

She smiles at me and her face meets mine again. This time, when our lips meet, her tongue moves between my lips. Not expecting that, my mouth opens somewhat. That seems to be what she wants because as soon as my mouth opens, her tongue finds its way into my mouth and grazes my tongue. Her eyes are closed and her face is relaxed. I have no idea what to do, so I try to mimic the movement of her tongue. Our tongues and lips tangle in a soft dance and it’s officially my favorite thing, ever. The longer we kiss, the more relaxed her face becomes. I don’t want this to stop. I want to kiss her all of the time.

She finally slows the kiss and I chase her lips with my own as she pulls away.

“Did you… Were your eyes open the whole time?” She looks confused and amused.

I nod once. “Were they not supposed to be?”

“Sweet Jimazu. You really are inexperienced, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

She likes this answer. Her lips meet mine. This time I’m ready for it and my eyes slide closed as I enjoy the feeling of her tongue and lips on mine. Before she can pull away fully, my tongue follows hers and I prolong the kiss. She shifts her hind end and it grazes my quickly hardening appendage. My mate groans as she pulls her face away from mine.

I carefully walk to my bed and sit down, my mate in my lap. She doesn’t let go.

“I think I enjoy your kiss, little mate.”

Her hands slide up from the back of my neck into my hair. Her fingers weave into the thick strands. “I think you’re going to like this next one then.”

Her head moves forward and her lips meet the side of my neck. She shifts her weight in my lap and I can feel the warmth of her mating lips as they hover over my appendage. The instinct to bury myself inside of her is strong as she kisses her way across my neck to the opposite side. I’m panting by the time she finds my lips again. My tongue is inside her mouth before she has a chance to get hers into mine. My grip on her hind end tightens just a bit as I keep myself from removing her clothing.

She moves the lower half of her body against my lap and I can’t stop the primal bleat that leaves me. She groans and moves faster against my lap. Her lips leave mine and on a sigh that sounds almost pained she says, “Zu,” before her body shudders and her eyes flutter repeatedly.

I start to worry that something is wrong, and then the scent of her arousal fills my nose. Before I can stop it, my appendage pops the rest of the way out and spills my seed onto my mates clothing-covered chest. My own body shudders once, twice, before I’m done.

Darcy’s eyes open and she smiles at me softly. “I can’t remember the last time that happened.” Her fingers run through my hair again.

“You cannot remember the last time that you were aroused?” I ask, unsure of what she means.

She shakes her head. “No, no. I can’t remember the last time I finished without a man’s cock being inside of me.” She glances down and her mouth hangs open as she realizes that my appendage has made an appearance. “Zu, you’re huge.” She looks back up at me. “I have no idea if your cock could possibly fit inside of me.” She looks back down at my lap.

I remove one hand from her hind end and reach up to take one of her hands from my head. I bring it to wrap around my member. Either her hands are very small, or my member is very large because she can’t wrap her hand fully around it.

“Little mate, you were made for me by the gods. And they know what they’re doing, even if I don’t. It will fit.”

She strokes up and down the length and I’m right back to fighting the instinct to bury myself inside of her. I move to still her hand, but the look she gives me tells me not to.

“Can I try something?” she asks.

“My body is yours to do with as you please, Darcy. You need not ask.”

Satisfied with my answer, she kisses me once more, then unwraps her legs from my waist. She stands to her feet, then moves to her knees in front of me. Her hand never stops stroking me. Her mouth moves to the tip of my member and she slowly takes me inside of her mouth. She doesn’t seem to mind that my seed is still leaking out the end. Instead, she seems to enjoy it. Her tongue moves in circles around the tip and I lose myself to the feeling of her warm mouth. Her hand begins twisting near the base, and I can tell the moment that she discovers the pocket.

Her mouth pops off my member and her eyes shoot up to mine. “Zu, do you have a cock and a cock pocket?”

“I think so, yes. Will that bother you?”

“Hell no. I think I’m going to enjoy getting to know your body and all of the differences between yours and mine.” Her hand keeps twisting in circles around the base. Her other hand moves towards the pocket and she looks at me in question. I nod and then her fingers are inside the pocket, slowly exploring. She brings her mouth back to my tip and slowly takes as much of me in as she can. She manages about half my length. Her fingers gently slide in and out of the pocket. They hit the spot that makes me weak in the knees and it doesn’t take long for the combination of sensations to grow to be too much.

“Darcy, I’m going to spill in your mouth if you don’t stop.”

My words cause her to hollow her cheeks and take more of me into her mouth. I hit the back of her throat. My seed spills from the tip and she takes it all in. Once it slows, so do her hands and mouth. My hand finds its way to the side of her head and strokes her cheek. I can’t help but look at my mate in awe.

She drags her mouth up my length one final time before releasing it. I pull her up and drag her face to mine for another kiss.
