CHAPTER 16

“ T ruly? You want me?” Uzoth asked in disbelief.

He stared at Grady. He could not fathom that this man, this vigorous and handsome witch, could want someone like him, a frightful monster.

Grady stepped in close. “I want you,” he whispered and slid his hand up to Uzoth’s lips, running the pad of his thumb over them and his fangs.

Uzoth couldn’t move, captivated by the human before him.

Then Grady leaned up and pressed their lips together. Uzoth’s body thrummed. Blood raced through his veins, and his heart pumped faster than it had in an aeon.

Softening his lips, Uzoth lifted his hands and placed them gingerly on Grady’s shoulders, terrified that at any moment, Grady might change his mind and pull away.

But he didn’t. Instead, Grady moved his mouth against Uzoth’s. Uzoth opened to him. Grady’s tongue pressed forward. Their tongues entwined and danced together. A rumble vibrated in Uzoth’s chest.

Uzoth lost himself in the gentle kiss. Lust flamed in his belly, and his cock began to fill. After several moments, Grady pulled back, gasping for air.

Staring at Grady in awe, Uzoth stroked a hand along Grady’s shoulder. “I cannot comprehend why you would want me. But I will not cast aside such a precious gift. May I undress you? I wish to look upon your beauty once again.”

“If you want.” Grady laughed, his smile vulnerable. “Although, I’m really not the beauty you seem to think I am.”

Uzoth shook his head. Just the thought of Grady had awakened the dormant desires within his body. “I disagree.” He gripped the hem of Grady’s shirt and tugged it over Grady’s dark hair. His fingers skated over the soft skin and hair on Grady’s torso.

Grady’s breath caught.

“You are stunning to behold. I am truly honoured that you want me and would share your body with me.” Then Uzoth lowered himself to his knees and reached for Grady’s trousers and the promising bulge that lay beneath.

“You should probably know, it has been a while since I’ve been with anyone,” Grady confessed with a wry smile.

Uzoth’s hand paused. He looked up at Grady. “I guarantee it has been longer for me. I have not fucked anyone since long before you were born.”

“Bloody hell.” Grady laughed. “Well, you win, then.”

Uzoth hesitated. “Will you tell me if I do anything to displease you? I have never been with a human. Only gargoyles. I would not wish to do something that didn’t bring you pleasure.”

“Well, I’ve never been with a gargoyle. But I’m sure we’ll work it out together.” Grady’s gaze skittered along the horns sprouting from Uzoth’s forehead. “Can I touch…” He gestured to the horns.

Uzoth’s chest tightened. Why would Grady want to touch those? Uzoth knew what he was. He was a grotesque monster. Plain and simple. His visage had been formed with the intent to strike fear into the souls of his creator’s enemies.

“Only if you want,” Grady rushed out. “I don’t have to.”

“It’s not that.” Uzoth’s brows furrowed. “I am only surprised that you would desire to touch those parts of me that are hideous and mark me so clearly as a monster.”

Grady gave a shake of his head. “How about we stop describing you as hideous, all right?”

“It bothers you?” Uzoth studied Grady’s face.

Grady reached out and touched one of Uzoth’s horns, sliding his hand along the smooth, hard surface. Uzoth shivered at the gentle caress.

“I don’t like to hear you speak so poorly of yourself.” Grady stroked the horn to the base. “Because I think you’re magnificent to look at.” Then he threaded his fingers through the long dark hair.

Uzoth let out a breath. He had never been touched like this before. He’d fucked many times during his existence. But it had always been a rough, rushed fuck. A quick fulfilment of needs. He’d never had a lover. He’d never had gentle kisses and sweet caresses.

His heart skipped. Grady wanted to be his lover. He didn’t just want to fuck. That knowledge floored him. It all seemed far too much for a monster like him.

“I’m kind of looking forward to exploring all of you, to learning your body.” Grady’s gaze flicked to Uzoth’s wings.

Uzoth frowned. It seemed his wings did not bother Grady either. But how could Grady find him attractive? It seemed incomprehensible. Grady not finding Uzoth terrifying would have been shocking enough. But appealing? It was a lot to come to terms with. However, he would not deny Grady anything.

“Then explore me as you desire.” Then Uzoth’s gaze fell to Grady’s trousers. “But you have distracted me. I believe I was meant to be undressing you.”

“Whoops.” Grady chuckled. He dropped his hands to his sides. “Better hurry up before I distract you again.”

Uzoth unlaced Grady’s trousers and removed them along with his undershorts. He stared at the proof of Grady’s desire, his long hard cock. The head flushed, and thick veins ran beneath the skin.

Amazed he’d been granted permission, he caressed the skin from Grady’s stomach, over his hips, and down his thighs. Goosebumps broke out in the wake of Uzoth’s touch.

Uzoth paused for a second, then he ran his clawed fingers gently along the outside of Grady’s thighs. Not enough to draw blood or even leave a mark, just enough to cause the skin to slightly redden.

Grady trembled at the light scratching sensation.

“Does that feel all right? Does it hurt?” Uzoth glanced at Grady’s face.

“Feels fucking amazing,” Grady murmured.

Uzoth carefully scraped his claws against the skin once again. Then Uzoth used the pads of his fingers to stroke the same path. Grady bit his lip, and his dick jerked.

Uzoth stared at Grady’s hard cock. The scent of his musky arousal filled the air. Uzoth wrapped his hand around the hard length and stroked.

“Fuck!” Grady cried out. His hands grasped Uzoth’s shoulders. “Fuck. I forgot how good someone else’s hand felt.”

A sense of satisfaction settled in his chest, and Uzoth stroked Grady from base to tip, up and down, over and over, pumping Grady with his big hand.

“I am glad I am able to please you.” Uzoth watched the pleasure play out over Grady’s features.

I am doing that. I am bringing him bliss.

Grady’s hands gripped Uzoth’s horns. Uzoth’s muscles tensed, but he forced himself to relax as Grady thrust into Uzoth’s grip. Grady closed his eyes. He groaned as pre-cum spilled from the tip. Uzoth rubbed his thumb over the flared head, collecting the fluid before stroking faster. Grady’s balls pulled up tight against his body. His stomach quivered.

“Stop,” Grady cried.

“I’m sorry.” Uzoth’s hand froze on Grady’s dick as the panic rushed in. He released Grady. What had he done wrong? He’d thought Grady was about to reach his peak. “Did I?—”

“You’re amazing,” Grady rushed out. “I just don’t want to come too quickly. I at least want to see your dick first before I shoot.”

The tension inside Uzoth released, and he rose. “If that is what you wish.”

Grady eyed the hardness tenting Uzoth’s loincloth. “Yeah. That is what I wish. I want to see you in all your glory.” Then he untied Uzoth’s loincloth. The fabric dropped to the floor. “Fuck me dead.” Grady’s eyes widened, and his mouth dropped open.

Uzoth glanced down at his dick before returning his gaze to Grady’s face, trying to read his expression.

He was much larger and thicker than Grady, firmer too. And like his horn, ringed ridges encircled the length. A series of bumps ran up along either side of his dark-grey dick. From long ago experience, he knew those bumps caused pleasure when being fucked.

Grady wrapped his hand around Uzoth’s dick and stroked. “I think I’m going to struggle to take this cock inside my hole.”

Uzoth groaned. “You don’t need to. I am content with other…methods.” Uzoth gripped Grady’s waist as he tried not to come apart under Grady’s firm touch.

“I’d like for you to fuck me. But I think I’d need to work up to it. So probably not tonight.”

Not tonight. That meant there would be more nights.

Grady stepped in close and lined up their cocks. Uzoth’s breath stuttered as their dicks pressed together. Grady wrapped his hands around them both and jerked. His other hand splayed on Uzoth’s hard pecs, squeezing the muscle.

“You’d truly let me fuck you?” Uzoth would have to stretch Grady a great deal.

“Yeah. I want you to fuck me.” Grady pumped their cocks faster. He grunted. “Would you like that? Want to fuck me with this monster cock?”

Uzoth growled. “I can think of nothing I’d desire more.” A spurt of pre-cum spilled from the tip.

It smoothed the strokes, and Grady increased the pressure and pace. Pleasure built inside his belly. His cock throbbed in Grady’s grip. Uzoth’s tail slid towards Grady and wrapped around his calf. Grady jumped, hand stuttering as the tail touched him.

“Sorry.” Uzoth began to withdraw the tail. It had been on instinct. He’d just wanted to touch Grady. But he should have expected Grady to dislike his tail touching him.

Grady shook his head. “It’s fine. Just surprised me is all.” Grady continued to stroke them. He smiled a wicked grin. “Feel free to touch me with your tail.”

Uzoth hesitated. But Grady wasn’t one to lie. So after a second, he slid his tail up Grady’s calf and around his knee and thigh. The tip grazed his balls.

Grady gasped as he continued to stroke them. “Shit! I’m close.”

So was Uzoth. His body tensed, hands tightening on Grady’s waist.

Grady cried out, body jerking. His cock spurted.

Immediately, pleasure slammed into Uzoth. He growled low. Then he lunged forward and kissed Grady as he, too, began to spill his seed, pulse after pulse covering their dicks as Grady stroked them through their orgasms.

Still kissing, they clutched at each other as their peaks ebbed. A languid warmth spread through Uzoth’s limbs. After several moments, Grady broke the kiss. Heavy breathing filled the room. Uzoth stroked Grady’s back with his hands, up and down, in a gentle motion.

Grady’s stomach growled. “Sorry.” Grady chuckled as he released their softening dicks. “I haven’t eaten in a while.”

Uzoth stared at him a moment. “Then we better get you something to eat.”

Still, they just stood in the middle of the room, holding each other, neither willing to pull away.
