He could wipe out dozens of innocent people and it made no difference to me.
The important thing was he was there.
He was here for me right now.
“Vai…” I said.
For the first time since I’d been given the poison, I found them to be my own words.
He leaned forward and pressed his lips against mine.
I explored his lips as his tongue dove deep into my mouth.
I pressed my own against his and we were joined.
Until now, the crowd had been watching in silence.
The cameras whirred in the corners.
Now they screamed with joy and roared with excitement.
But they didn’t know the truth.
Not yet.
Vai pulled back and whispered so softly even I struggled to hear him:
“We don’t have to do this. If we fight together, we might make it out alive.”
I searched his face—that handsome rugged face—with its masculine square jaw and twisted horns.
I ran my hands over them, feeling the craggy surface.
“If we mate right now, they won’t want me any longer,” I said. “If we do this, we never have to fear these things again.”
Vai glanced over my shoulder at the onlookers.
“I never thought our first time would be like this,” he said.
“Ignore them. I choose you. Take me. I’m yours.”
No sooner were the words out of my mouth than he buried his lips on me once more.
His hands tugged at the ribbons on my shoulders, spilling my dress down over my hips and to the floor.
He peered at me, taking me in fully.
He’d seen me naked before, but this time it was all for him.
He pressed his lips to the base of my neck, kissing and prodding with his tongue.
I turned my head to the side and ran my hands through his hair.
I guided him to my sensitive collarbone and then down further so his mouth wrapped around my nipple.
He took it in his mouth and flicked at it, turning it hard and pert.
He pinched my other nipples with his fingers almost painfully.
The audience cheered with joy but they might as well have not been there.
They weren’t there.
It was just me and Vai, alone in this space, giving in to each other, exploring and experimenting for the first time.
I reached down and his impressive girth press against me.
I cupped him through the material of his robe and stroked his length.
I shoved his robe off over his shoulders.
It revealed his full nakedness underneath.
He rubbed his cock against my opening and I leaned back on the tablet.
I spread my legs wide for him to enjoy me as he wished.
He dropped to his knees and slurped at me.
The Elders scratched their chins and gazed, perplexed, at what he was doing.
The rest of the audience wore the same expressions.
There was a low cheer but mostly they were curious.
Vai hit the spot.
I threw my head back and groaned so loud everyone could hear.
I wanted them to hear.
This is what a woman enjoying herself sounds like, I wanted to yell at them.
I wanted them to see how it could be, another option to the usual stealing and taking.
Vai made small circles on my clit and slipped his finger inside me.
He rubbed me back and forth.
My hips bucked and I rose against his hands as they worked me expertly.
He lowered his lips to my breast and flicked at my pink nipples with his tongue as his fingers worked their magic.
I gripped his horns and guided him to my other nipple.
It was too much.
Electric pulses danced over the surface of my skin as he tore an orgasm from me.
I screamed in jubilation.
The elders crossed their legs to conceal their arousal.
Then Vai placed his arms on either side of me, his masculine body pressing down.
He placed his throbbing cock at the entrance to my pussy.
He was bigger than I thought but I didn’t care.
I would embrace the challenge with open arms.
He rested his forehead against mine and peered down at me.
“Last chance,” he said.
“Do it,” I said breathily. “I’m glad it’s you.”
His smile curled around that irresistible dimple and his expression turned misty with hunger.
He rolled his hips forward and with a single thrust, entered me.
It wasn’t over—not until he spilled his seed inside me.
But it was the first big step.
I clutched him close and peered into the camera and smiled.
No one knew what was going on here, and it was delicious just thinking about it.
I snapped back to reality as Vai drilled me, slow and deep and gorgeous.
I tightened around him, struggling to cater to his width.
I gasped as he hooked my knees in the crooks of his arms and dived even deeper.
He gripped the flesh of my ass and drove into me even harder.
I raised my arms over my head and gripped the opposite end of the tablet.
The crowd wasn’t as loud in their applause as before.
They watched, slack-jawed and drooling, enjoying the show more than needing to cheer along and be a part of it.
I doubted they had ever seen the fated mates enjoying it before.
Then Vai went to town.
He pummeled me.
I met his every stroke with glee and pleasure.
I threw my head back and screamed:
“Yes! Yes! More! Give me more!”
My dark side had emerged.
My uncontrollable desire to be fucked like there was no tomorrow, for him to use me any way he saw fit.
Just give me what I needed.
The same dark expression overtook Vai, but it wasn’t the same evil look Iav sported.
He was still the same kind Vai under there.
But his animalistic nature had overtaken him.
He was a runaway freight train and there was no stopping him.
I didn’t want to stop him.
Driven by my enthusiasm, Vai extracted himself, rolled me onto my front, my hips balanced on the tablet’s edge, and entered me from behind.
He speared me relentlessly, my pussy clenching even tighter around him.
I arched my back, pushing back against him.
I felt the precipice ahead and willed him to take me over it.
He hammered me hard, the slapping noises of his thighs striking my ass beating in time
