Only when he knew she had completely come down from her orgasm, did he pull his fingers from her.
Her hands fell through the water and accidentally brushed the backs of his tentacles. She gasped. Her hands flung away in surprise before they came forward to cup him through his trousers.
“It came out?”
He hissed in a breath of agony and grabbed her hands so he could shove them against the riverbed. She grunted despite him trying to be gentle.
“Don’t touch,” he warned. “I’m barely holding back as it is.”
“But I want to.”
She was trying to torture him, she had to be. Such words were demanding to his resolve, him needing release as much as he’d enjoyed giving it.
“No,” he rasped, shaking his head as he rose to stand on shaking legs. Need was weakening his knees. “Not here. Only you.”
She bit her bottom lip, and he knew that meant she wanted to argue with him about it. He was thankful she eventually sighed and nodded in understanding.
Her brows knotted into a frown as her eyes bowed for him. “I’m sorry I can’t ease you.”
Orpheus leaned down and bumped her cheek with his snout. The gesture meant much, the fact she’d wanted to touch him again leaving a radiating swirl of tenderness in his heart to linger.
“We must return to the Mavka,” he told her.
She turned and he helped her out of the water so she could get to her hands and knees before standing. Orpheus nearly grabbed her thigh and yanked her back in when he saw the lips of her pussy and that empty little slit he wanted to stretch open so it didn’t appear so little anymore.
A tremor rolled through him, and he shoved his claws into the dirt, gouging and tearing into it as his tentacles nearly lost their fight to stop him from extending completely.
I want to fuck her so bad. I’d kill for it.
He shuddered violently, his eyes flashing red for a moment, as he attempted to keep his snarl quiet.
“Orpheus?” she asked when she turned around in the dark to find he hadn’t hopped out of the water to guide her. Thankfully, his eyes had already returned to purple before she’d looked upon him.
“Coming,” he growled, pressing the palm of his hand against the tip in an attempt to shove his cock back in.
It wouldn’t. He would have to bear the pain of his pants abrading the backs of his sensitive tentacles.
Reia’s lips parted as she sucked in a sharp breath.
She was standing between both Duskwalkers on a small hill just on the edge of the forest, already wearing her skull mask disguise. Orpheus had been forced to carry her on his elbow due to her mask, but said it should be fine this close to the village as the Demons rarely hid in the trees this far into the Veil. The trees were also much taller here, and their lower branches were nowhere near reaching distance to her.
When they were about to break through the trees, he set her down and explained he couldn’t carry her anymore.
She hadn’t cared. She was too excited to see the village from a distance. Not expecting the scene before her, her feet froze as she took it in.
Bright sunshine covered an area at least a mile in diameter. There was a very short walk, a kind of grassy clearing that separated the forest and the village. However, the village itself had trees above it taller than any she’d ever heard of on Earth. Twisting sideways to create a spiral like that of a rose bud, wooden spikes, like thorns, broke through the canopy of trees and jutted towards the sky.
Even from the distance, she could tell those wooden spikes and trees created a perfect shield to keep the sun out inside the village to protect the Demons. They were so tall that even with the distance between her and it, she knew the trees must be hundreds of metres tall.
“H-how is this possible?” she gasped, staring at the unbelievable scene. She ran forward a step as her eyes widened. “Wait… Is that a castle in the distance?”
While she was pointing in that direction, Orpheus quickly came up beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
“You need to stay with us, Reia.” She gave him an apologetic expression, and he turned up to face the castle that was off to the left and some distance behind the Village. “The Demon King is powerful and full of magic. He is stronger than any other creature, except perhaps the Witch Owl. He created this sun barrier for the village, and his castle highlights the centre of the Veil.”
“There’s a Demon King?!” she shouted before she quickly covered her mouth because of the loudness of her yell.
No freaking way!
“Yes. It’s believed that he was the one who broke through the barrier between the land of Demons and Earth and brought them here.” He pointed to the castle. “The portal is in his lands and Demons are free to come and go.”
