Page 25 of Where the Shadows Land (Garden of Hope #1)

Finally, Mairuk’s tongue slipped inside her pussy.

The tough texture glided against her slick inner walls.

Their tongue writhed inside her and drank her desire with a need that echoed in her.

Mairuk’s tongue brushed against the spongy area Astoria’s fingers never quite managed to reach and she shattered.

A scream that sounded nothing like her fell from her lips and her chest heaved as she gushed all over Mairuk’s face and the sheets.

“That’s our vixen. Let us hear you. Scream for us,” Mairuk purred. Their tongue didn’t stop dancing within her, and neither did her orgasm. Each rough lick pushed her to new heights and thickened the fog of bliss coating her mind.

Astoria trembled. The only thing she recognized was pleasure and the feel of Mairuk.

Their voice, calm and gentle in the back of her mind, held her through each cresting wave of pleasure that refused to stop.

Their tongue left her pussy and swiped over her ass.

Astoria squealed and her eyes shot open.

She took Damien in her ass a few times and enjoyed it, but Damien had a reasonably sized human cock.

Mairuk’s giant shafts would never fit. Astoria must have said the words aloud because Mairuk chuckled and slipped their tongue past the tight ring.

“Yes, we will. With a little patience, you could take our lower shaft in this little hole just fine.” Mairuk removed their tongue and slid a meaty, tentacle-like finger in her ass.

The other two sank into her pussy. The stretch burned, but hells , she loved the fire.

One of their fingers was the same width as four of hers.

Between her desire and Mairuk’s tongue, she was so slick that they met little resistance as they stretched her out.

Her body gave in more with each gentle push of Mairuk’s fingers.

Astoria vibrated within her body, each breath that sawed out of her lungs left with a gasp of pleasure.

The texture of their fingers and the way they moved with more fluidity than any human could ever dream of pulled pleasure from the very depths of her bones.

Their mouth latched onto her clit, sucking hard and Astoria floated out of her body, high off the bliss .

“Mairuk!” Astoria cried, her voice hoarse. “I can’t take it. Please.”

“What are you begging for? What do you need?” Mairuk punctuated their question by sucking hard on her clit after each word.

“I need you inside me. Now!”

“Come for us like this one more time, vixen. You’re almost ready for our cocks.

Once more, and they are yours.” Mairuk’s purred promise wrapped around her mind and she let them lead her to her next peak.

They increased both their pace and pressure, building her higher and higher.

The flat of their tongue pressed against her clit and then they sucked .

Her next crest hit and she came with a high-pitched cry, her body arching up as she fell into the light of pure oblivion.

The silver light emanating from Mairuk consumed her in a moment of bliss so perfect it blinded her.

She sobbed, the tears falling from her eyes as she came hard around Mairuk’s fingers.

Her orgasm eased, and Mairuk pulled their fingers out of her. A wave of concern washed over her from Mairuk and the hand that held her wrist dropped it to wipe the tears from her eyes. “Are you alright? You are crying.”

“Yes,” Astoria sobbed. From the squinting of Mairuk’s eyes and the growing burn of concern, it was clear that they did not believe her.

A strangled half-laugh half-cry left her and she wrapped her arms around their neck and brought their face to hers.

She kissed them softly, the tears continuing to stain her face. “I’m fine.”

“We have not hurt you?” Mairuk tilted their cap, searching her face with concern.

“No. These are good tears. You feel so, so good.”

“Do you need to stop? We can take a break if you’re overwhelmed.” Mairuk nuzzled their face into her neck and left soft, gentle kisses there. Their hands rubbed down her arms, gentle yet firm. Each soft touch brought her back down into her body .

Astoria took Mairuk’s triangular face in her hands and stared into their vibrant pink eyes. “Mairuk, if you do not put your shafts inside me right now, I will die. Please. Please, just fuck me.”

“As you wish. our vixen.” Mairuk kissed her once more, then rose back up on their knees.

They lifted her hips and lined themselves up with her holes.

Astoria’s head swam as she looked down her body at the thick, writhing lengths so close to her center.

She shivered. Mairuk prepared her well, but there was so much of them she doubted she could take half. But, by all the gods, she’d try.

Mairuk pushed their top shaft inside her. The wide, spongy tip slipped in with a pop and both of them moaned in unison. Their lower shaft followed suit, pushing into her ass a moment later. Her breath seized in her lungs and she clutched Mairuk’s arms.

“Breathe,” Mairuk commanded. “In and out. Slow. Follow our voice. In. Out.”

Astoria followed Mairuk’s pace, breathing in and out when they told her to. She followed their pattern and their shafts slid deeper into her with little resistance thanks to the wetness they both produced.

“That’s our vixen. Keep breathing just like that,” they cooed.

Never in her life had Astoria been so full and she didn’t have half of their length inside her yet.

They waited there, chest heaving in time with hers as her pussy adjusted and stretched around them.

Unable to get deeper, their olctae writhed inside her.

There was little room for them to move, but they pushed against her inner walls with fluid movements.

Her toes curled and her insides clamped, the sensation bordering on too much, yet somehow not enough.

“More! Please, Mairuk. Give me more!” Astoria lifted her hips, desperate for more of them.

“We will give you what you need, but we don’t want to hurt you.” Mairuk’s voice filled her mind, sounding almost strained .

“Hurt me. I don’t care. Please, just fuck me. I need you, Mairuk. I need you all the way inside me, please!”

Whatever control Mairuk used to contain themselves snapped, and they pulled her hips down to meet theirs.

Their entire length vanished into her depths in two firm thrusts.

Astoria couldn’t breathe. Everything became too bright, too intense, and lit up every nerve in her body.

They were so deep inside her she swore she felt them in her ribs.

The burning stretch of muscles she didn’t know she had ached as they filled her entirely.

The smaller appendage, their kastae, found her clit and latched on.

Astoria’s vision went white and her mind melted into pure static.

The sucking appendage molded to fit the shape of her clit.

The small tendrils within vibrated against her and sucked hard.

Resisting the pleasure was a hopeless feat.

She screamed, the tears flowing from her eyes once again as she shuddered in the rapture.

Nothing ever felt like this. Nothing ever did this to her.

The pleasure resonated through her bones and down to her spirit.

Astoria was a breath away from floating elsewhere.

The wave died down when Mairuk’s thrusts slowed.

They remained deep inside her, their thrust shallow.

Each rock of their hips moved them only an inch or two back and forth.

Inside, more of the vibrations that lavished her clit latched onto her inner walls.

Almost the same texture as Mairuk’s skin, but more pronounced, the vibrations kept them locked deep inside her.

Mairuk buried their head into her neck and their cool breath washed over her chest as they rocked into her.

Their cap above her, their body all around her, all Astoria knew in that moment was Mairuk.

Each pulse of their hips built her up again.

Astoria couldn’t come again if she tried, or so she thought.

Mairuk’s gentle, deep thrusts and the vibrations humming through her clit and insides didn’t give her much of a choice.

Her body was an instrument, and Mairuk played her to perfection.

They gave her everything she needed to keep her within reach of another release, but not enough to send her over again .

“We are going to spore, to come. Are you ready for it, our vixen?” Mairuk panted the words against her skin. The almost masculine, smoky tone of their audible voice in her ear made her stomach flip and insides clench.

“Please. Come, please give it to me, please Mairuk!” Astoria wrapped herself around them, closing all the space between their bodies. She needed them to fill her with their spore more than she needed to breathe.

Mairuk growled and thrust hard, burrowing themselves as deep inside Astoria as they could go.

The caps of their shafts expanded and hardened inside her.

The burn of the stretch was so much more than Astoria could take, but so good it melted her mind.

More vibrating tendrils attached to her inner walls and locked Mairuk in place.

They kissed her as they came. Thick liquid, cool and tingling, filled her depths and Astoria fell over the edge once again.

Trembling from head to toe, she fell into the white-hot pleasure.

The buzz of static took her back under into a nameless level of perfect bliss.

Mairuk swallowed her screams and held her close as she rode out the wave.

They both came down panting. Tears coated Astoria’s face and her heart slammed heavy against her breast. Mairuk’s bright eyes were closed, and the blue light from the ring at the base of their neck faded out, leaving the room dark.

She buzzed with energy. The silver threads of dim light arced between the two of them in small blips.

“Are you alright, Astoria?” Mairuk asked, opening their eyes and giving her a glimpse of their beautiful pink eyes.

“I’ve never felt this good. Gods, how are you this good?” Astoria giggled, her inebriated state bubbling to the surface.

“As long as we are like this—” Mairuk rocked against her, their bodies still locked together—“we have a sense of what you need. It is not words, more like an intuitive sense. We were not sure it worked on humans, but it is good that it does. ”

Astoria giggled again and kissed them with an appreciative hum.

Mairuk held her close and rolled the two of them over, so she settled on their chest. Their kastae , no longer vibrating, released her clit as they moved.

She whimpered at the sudden rush of cool air and texture of Mairuk’s skin hitting the oversensitive nub. “You’re still inside me.”

“We will be for some time. The threads will release as long as you do not start moving again,” Mairuk said.

If Astoria had anything left, she would’ve done it.

But she pushed herself enough for one night.

She saved that bit of information for another time.

She would take them again. Likely several times.

She hummed, content, then settled into their hold and closed her eyes.

Mairuk rubbed their dexterous fingers down her back in slow, steady pets.

Their shafts released her a short while later and Mairuk eased out of her.

A rush of glowing bright pink liquid came out with their shafts, covering Mairuk, Astoria, and the sheets beneath them.

It didn’t stop pouring out of her, and Astoria wondered just how much they came.

Mairuk waved their hand, and the liquid lifted off of the two of them, then settled on the towel they used to clean themselves with while she was gone.

Mairuk adjusted her in their arms and nuzzled the top of her head. “Rest now, Astoria. We have you.”

Their promise followed her into her blissful dreams.
