Chapter One Adar woke feeling groggy, confused, and weaker than he could ever remember feeling. The mid-morning sun shone on his body. He opened his eyes and struggled to his feet. There was no sign of Tanari. He noted his saddlebag’s open flap. He reached inside and saw two notes. Lifting the first one out, he quickly read it. He glanced up at the morning sun. She’d had enough of a head start to reach the spaceport before he could catch up with her. But if he followed at a full gallop, he could hopefully arrive before she boarded a transport. He lifted his saddlebag. Tossing it over his back, he attempted to canter. Feeling weak and dizzy, he came to an abrupt stop, fighting the impulse to sink back onto the sands and allow his body to enter a healing sleep. Instead he remained on his feet and retrieved the second note from his saddlebag. To his surprise, it was from Daylon Adar. He read it several times before he felt as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. The relief was tinged with sadness. Although he felt certain he knew he could trust Daylon to ensure Tanari’s safety, an overwhelming sense of regret filled him. After many years of watching over her, he was now free to seek out a mare to mate with. What would a life devoid of Tanari be like for him? Despite his resolve to mate with a Centaurides Mare, he did and always would love Tanari. Now that their paths had finally diverged, he wasn’t sure how he’d cope. He was in no physical shape to follow her. More, his pervasive weakness indicated the discharge of his seed. He had not mated with anyone in a very long time. The implication of his failure to wake when she left was unavoidable. She had drugged him. Adar sighed, aware of her reason for doing so. Still, there wasn’t much he could do about the chain of events she had set in motion. ―This will help you regain your strength, centaurian.‖ He swung around. A tall striking female with dark skin, long hair pulled back from her face, and arresting silver eyes, walked across the sands towards him. With her dark skin tone and full-figured body, she reminded him of Tanari. She removed a large flask from a bag over her shoulder, extending it to him. He took it but made no effort to open it. ―Who are you?‖ ―We share a distant kinship, centaurian.‖ ―How so?‖ ―I’m Daria Amontain, second in command of Pack Adrian.‖

Up close, her beauty aroused him. He glanced at the flask he held. ―What does this contain?‖ ―A restorant that will help you quickly regain your strength.‖ She surprised him by reaching under his body to caress his sheath. ―When you’re feeling stronger, perhaps you and I can help each other.‖ His cock stirred. ―In what way?‖ She pulled off her tunic, revealing a beautiful, dark body with lush curves that set his long denied passions on fire. His cock popped out of its sheath. She curled her fingers around him. ―As you must know, for me, it’s all about the dick.‖ ―The dick? I’m a stallion. That’s a cock you’re holding not a dick.‖ ―And a very nice cock it is,‖ she told him, smiling. ―Long, hard, thick, and dripping pre-ejaculate—just as the perfect mating weapon should.‖ She pumped him. ―Would it surprise you if I admitted it’s been a long time since I’ve mated?‖ She was beautiful and alluring. ―Yes. It would surprise me.‖ ―My need for cock is urgent.‖ She stroked her fingers down to caress his balls. ―I don’t know when I’ve felt a nicer pair.‖ With his phallus swelled to its full length and his balls burning with the need to expend their contents inside her body, he opened the flask, taking several gulps of the warm, sweet contents. ―Who wants to talk when it’s all about the pussy, shifter?‖ Slipping an arm around her waist, he sucked a hard nipple between his lips and fingered her fragrant pussy. She released him and kneeled on her hands and knees on the sands under the high, open tent that had sheltered him and Tanari through many desert afternoons. Daria looked at him over her shoulder. ―I’m waiting to be dicked and seeded, stallion.‖ ―Cocked,‖ he reminded her. ―Clearly it’s time someone taught you the difference.‖ ―Come teach me and stretch me.‖ His nostrils flared. The fragrant scent of her pussy intoxicated him. He tossed the flask aside and bent his front knees to kneel behind her. He caressed her brown, round ass cheeks before bending to kiss each mound. ―Hmm. That feels so good.‖ He slid his fingers down between her legs. She was wet and ready for penetration. With his thoughts on the release he longed for, he mounted her. She pressed her ass against his stomach. ―Hmm…‖ He gripped her shoulders and quickly pushed his hips forward. ―Oh…stallion…that’s it…push it in. Push it all in me.‖ Adar shuddered with lust and need. But determined to wring as much pleasure as possible from their encounter, he clenched his jaw. Then he slowly inched his cock into the warm, hot depths of her surprisingly tight pussy.

She reached blindly back to clutch at his body. ―Dick me, centaurian,‖ she gasped, tightening her already vise-like muscles around him. He slid the rest of his shaft inside her. ―Oh… yes.‖ He slipped in and out of her several times, enjoying the way her vaginal muscles compressed and cradled his no longer aching cock. ―Oh…stallion, your dick is so good. Give it all to me.‖ ―You want it?‖ ―Yes! Oh yes!‖ ―Then take it and make it yours.‖ ―While you’re inside me, it is mine.‖ Closing his eyes, he rutted into her with utter abandonment. He cupped his palms over her breasts and he took her, savoring each deep thrust. His pleasure heightened by her eager response to him, he quickly flooded her pussy with his seed. Daria ground her big ass against him. ―Oh…that’s it…it’s been so long…fill me with your cum.‖ Without withdrawing from her Adar continued pumping into her until she made a low, keening growl, and her vaginal muscles tightened and compressed his cock with such force he came again. His climax seemed to trigger hers. She released what felt like an ocean of juice over his shaft. He cocked her twice more, each fuck hard and rough before he finally withdrew from her. Feeling weak again, he knelt and then rolled onto his side, his breathing uneven. She surprised and delighted him by moving close, pushing his still erect phallus back into her pussy. Then she wrapped her arms around him and fell asleep. Her wet channel felt as if it had been formed to accommodate his thick length. There were few joys in life more potent than a warm, wet pussy capable of taking his entire length and holding him inside once they stopped coming. This beautiful shifter female would make walking away from her extremely difficult. Reluctant to withdraw from her a moment before he had to, he drifted to sleep. When they woke later, he cocked and seeded her two more times before they finally separated and rose to their feet. As they refreshed themselves, he fought a rising need to mate with her again. With her tunic back on and her hair brushed and bound behind her head again, Daria turned to face him. ―How are you feeling? Did you enjoy dicking my pussy?‖ ―Have you ever met a male who didn’t?‖ She smiled. ―I like a male with enough discernment to fully appreciate the pleasure I can give.‖

―I’m refreshed but still horny.‖ She stroked her fingers down his chest. ―I know the feeling. I could easily become addicted to a steady diet of having your wonderful shaft pounding me into one powerful orgasm after another,‖ she told him with a frankness he admired. But then shifter females were rarely shy about expressing and satisfying their mating needs. ―You have a talented dick.‖ Adar inclined his head in acknowledgement of the compliment. ―It would be sinful to fill your exquisite pussy with anything less.‖ ―Hmm. A handsome stallion with a big, hard dick, and a sweet silver tongue.‖ She leaned close to kiss him. ―You leave a horny shifter with nothing left to wish for—except more of your big dick.‖ ―Cock.‖ ―Dick.‖ She touched his hair. ―Believe me, I know mating weapons and that’s a big, sweet dick you have, centaurian.‖ Encouraged by her words, he wrapped his arm around her waist. Her smile widened. ―Ready for more?‖ Slipping the other hand under her tunic, he stroked her between her legs. ―Apparently so are you.‖ She stared at him. ―I just refreshed myself. If you keep touching me, you’ll get me all wet and aroused again.‖ ―Are you protesting, shifter?‖ She linked her arm around his neck. ―Who could object to more of your delicious dick, stallion? Remember, it’s all about the dick.‖ Everything about her excited him, from the way she made the word stallion sound like a sexy endearment to the way she eagerly welcomed him into her pussy and insisted on calling his cock a dick. He felt the fingers of her other hand stroking his sheath. Leaning forward to taste her lush lips, he popped his shaft out. ―My seed is potent now,‖ he warned her. ―And I’m fertile and eager to have my belly swell,‖ she told him. Without giving himself time to consider the implications of another fuck with her, he kissed her. She wrapped her fingers around him, gently pumping him. ―Let’s get this as hard as possible and then you can dick and seed me all morning, stallion.‖ He gripped her waist. ―Give me your pussy, shifter.‖ ―Gladly.‖ Daria drew away from him and knelt on the sands on her hands and knees with her tunic up around her waist. Her big, round ass beckoned him. ―Cock me and fill me with your potent seed.‖

Adar mounted her and thrust his cock balls deep inside her with one quick stroke. She moaned. ―Pinch my breasts…and make me hotter.‖ He reached around her body to roll her nipples between his fingers. ―Open your pussy and give it all to me.‖ She looked back at him, dragging her tongue over her lips. ―If you want it, take it!‖ He did. As he cocked her with a greedy pleasure he knew she fully shared, he wondered how many more times they’d fuck before their hunger allowed them to do anything besides mate with each other. When he finally pulled out of her and lay on his side, she stretched out next to him, kissed her way down his stomach, and slowly drew his semi-erect shaft into her mouth. His groans of satisfaction filled the desert as she deep-throated him, making him come until he lay on his side so replete, he felt powerless to do anything but weakly clutch her close as she cuddled her body against his and finally slept. Lying with her so close, he thought of Tanari and what a fool he’d been not to cock her at least once. What had his grandsire often said? An overly honorable fool and good pussy are soon parted. When push came to shove his people shared a common belief with the wolf shifters. It was all about the pussy and he’d blown the chance of a lifetime—to cock and seed a virgin sexual empath. That was a mistake he would never make again. Thinking about Tanari both irritated and aroused him. Growling softly, Adar grabbed his hardening shaft, pressed it against Daria’s wet slit, and slid deep into her. As she came awake with a gasp, he pulled back his hips, and shot his nut into her wet slit. She shuddered, dug her fingers into his flanks and they fucked each other with wild abandonment, filling the air with their cries of pleasure. They both came quickly. Without uncoupling, he knotted her again, taking her with a fury and fire he couldn’t control. She growled, sucked his tongue into her mouth, and came all over his cock. He held her close, determined to spend the next few days rutting into her exquisite pussy. Then he would go in search of a mare to cock and seed. And then he’d go find Tanari. His cock hardened at the thought of seeing her again and of finally cocking her. He’d trample on anyone foolish enough to try and come between him and the pussy he craved more than ever. He closed his eyes. Tanari. I’m coming for my pussy, te’amora.

Chapter Two Several days later, Tanari woke in bed alone at Daylon’s oasis cabin. Hours earlier, he had awakened her just before dawn for what had become a ritual with them—a quick, hot, rough morning cocking before she fell back asleep while he prepared the breakfast they shared in bed before another cocking. Hungry for her afternoon cock, she rose, showered, and slipped on one of the many short tunics Daylon had bought for her. Although each was a different color, they all ended mid-thigh and possessed a bodice that showcased her large breasts. She smiled. He liked to sit across from her under the shade of the trees, staring at her cleavage. Sometimes, she’d pretend not to notice. Other times, she’d sit with her thighs parted, her pussy exposed, playing with her nipples until she heard that delicious, low growl emanating from deep within his chest. Then she’d bolt to her feet and dash away from him, ignoring his orders for her to come back and be cocked. He’d chase her, tackle her, and spin her around. She’d pretend to resist him. Easily overpowering her, he’d slam his cock up into her, and they’d suck each other’s tongues and fuck wildly. She couldn’t imagine a more wonderful way to spend her days with him. Earlier that morning as he’d cocked her, her breasts had been so tender that she’d found the touch of his lips and tongue almost unbearable. She found him sprawled on a lounger under the trees, reading. Nude and fully aroused. As she slipped onto the lounger beside his, he put his e-reader aside, smiling. ―Tanari, is it my imagination or do you grow more alluring with every passing second?‖ She leaned over to kiss his lips and stretched out beside him. ―It’s definitely your imagination, Daylon.‖ ―No. I don’t think so.‖ She turned to smile at him. ―Who knew a shifter could be so eloquent?‖ He lifted her hand to kiss her fingers. ―Your beauty is enough to inspire even the most socially awkward sod to eloquence, my luscious one.‖ She loved having him call her his luscious one. It reminded her of how often she’d awaken in the night to find him between her thighs, eagerly feasting on her pussy. Recalling Adar’s admonition that it was all about the pussy for most shifters, she frowned. Dare she believe Daylon? Had he ever beguiled another female with his sweet words? ―Have you ever been bonded with anyone, Daylon?‖ ―No.‖ ―Why not?‖

He shrugged. ―Why tie myself to one woman when there are always so many eager to be cocked?‖ So it was all about the pussy. She’d do well to remember that. ―Is that so important to you?‖ ―I’m a shifter, Tanari. You must know our creed and I have a higher mating drive than most shifters. I don’t just want sex often. I need it.‖ ―And you’re never found one woman capable of satisfying your need?‖ ―No.‖ Did that include her? She sighed and looked away from him. He reached over to stroke her thigh. ―I need my afternoon pussy,‖ he said. She should have told him to go cock himself. Instead, she stood up, removed her tunic, and joined him on his lounger. When he rose above her, she parted her thighs, and welcomed his cock into her pussy. He groaned, wrapped his arms around her to hold her close, and pressed his lips against her neck. ―Give me my pussy and take your cock,‖ he whispered. But how long would it be her cock? Within moments, he’d fucked all thought from her head. Afterwards, as she laid feeling crushed under him, full of cum, she pushed against his shoulders. ―My breasts are too sore to bear your weight any longer, Daylon.‖ He immediately withdrew from her and rolled onto his side. He kissed her cheek. ―My apologies.‖ She cuddled close. They lay in silence sharing the lounger for several hours before getting up to shower and dress for dinner at a quiet desert restaurant. After a meal prepared especially for them at their table, they went outside to dance with the cool desert breeze caressing their skin. Dancing with him under the twin moons, she felt happily lost in a world that excluded everyone but the two of them. He held her close and whispered softly to her. She found not understanding his words excited her while giving her the opportunity to pretend he was vowing eternal devotion. After dancing, he took her hand in his. They kicked off their shoes and walked in silence, enjoying the beauty of the desert night. Whenever she glanced at him, she found his dark gray gaze trained on her. Several times during their walk, she experienced the sensation of being followed. Daylon seemed at ease and unconcerned but when she couldn’t shake the feeling, she turned to look up at him. ―Someone is following us, Daylon.‖ ―I know.‖

―You do?‖ She cast a quick look around. They seemed to have that stretch of desert to themselves. He nodded. ―Several members of my guard are shadowing us.‖ ―Why?‖ The question seemed to surprise him. ―The pack has enemies who would love to have my head and tail mounted on their walls. As supreme Alpha, I’m rarely alone except in our pack compound.‖ She shivered and clutched his arm. He caressed her cheek. ―Even though I’m more than capable of taking care of myself, pack law dictates I have a personal guard. So have no fear, my luscious one. They are fierce, powerful warrior-class shifters and each of them would die to protect me. They are very good at their jobs.‖ She tensed. ―So that night in the desert when I took your knot—‖ ―You didn’t take it.‖ ―Didn’t I?‖ ―No one takes a shifter’s knot. I surrendered it.‖ She concealed a smile with difficulty. How like a shifter to stress over minutia. ―I’m very glad you did,‖ she said demurely. ―So am I.‖ She stretched up to kiss his cheek. In response, he pulled her close and kissed her breathless. She drew away, slipping her hand in his. ―I'm ready to be as alone with you as possible.‖ They slowly retraced their steps. By the time he piloted the transport back to the oasis, she was aroused and ready to eagerly welcome his cock inside her body. That night, as if sensing her lingering fear about their relationship, he made sweet, tender love to her rather than cocking her. As he did, he whispered to her. Although she couldn’t understand most of what he said, the words sounded soft and romantic. She thought she heard the words te’amous and cocamora. She clung to him, surrendering her body and pussy without reserve. She fell asleep in his arms, hopeful. Surely he wouldn’t be so tender if it were all about pussy for him with her. He spent the next few days showering her with presents, tenderness, and a bevy of compliments making it difficult for her to guard the remaining remnants of her emotions from him. When she woke on their last afternoon together, she admitted to herself he had managed to win her heart. Earlier that morning, he had been particularly gentle when he made love to her. Rising, and feeling his seed trickle along her thigh, she decided she’d put off her

confession as long as possible. If she had any hope of ensuring he wanted more from her than meaningless mating, she’d have to be honest with him before he returned to his pack to take satisfaction in the arms of the many willing females. She found Daylon lying on a lounger under the tall, shade trees on the enclosed area outside the cabin. As usual, he was nude and aroused. He smiled and rose as she approached. ―Afternoon, Tanari.‖ ―Good afternoon, Daylon.‖ He took her hand in his and drew her down onto the lounger with him. ―I’m ready to listen if you’re ready to talk.‖ With his arm around her, she took a deep breath. ―My belly has swelled,‖ she told him. He stroked a hand down her back. ―Yes, my sweet. I know.‖ She rubbed her cheek against his shoulder. ―What you don’t know is that the child I’m carrying is a foaling.‖ ―What?‖ The tension in his voice was unmistakable. She pulled away from him and stood up. He bolted into a seated position, staring up at her in silence. ―It’s a foaling, a combination of a humanoid and a centaurian.‖ His jaw clenched as he rose. ―I know what a foaling is.‖ ―Adar swelled my belly, Daylon.‖ ―I have to return to the pack today. How long will it take you to get ready to leave?‖ She stared at him. ―We need to talk.‖ ―There’s nothing to say,‖ he told her and stalked away, leaving her alone. She returned to the bedchamber where she’d shared countless hours with him that had been nothing short of bliss. She needed two large carryalls for all the items Daylon had purchased for her during their short week together. While giving the room a final look, she noted a currency card on the nightstand next to her side of the bed. She picked it up. Her name was printed on the front of the card along with that of a currency portal. Surprised, she ran it under the banking portal in the bedchamber. The amount of the deposit credited in her name stunned her. That Daylon would make such a large gift to her touched her. There would be no need to force herself into the life of a sexual empath that no longer held any appeal for her. Of course the large amount made it crystal clear their relationship was over. She now had enough to help procure the freedom of Redner, the pleasure bot Nadia valued so dearly. She transferred currency to Nadia's account, sent a quick note and slipped the card into her tunic pocket.

Then she sighed. Why hadn’t she listened to Adar when he’d insisted they wouldn’t mate? Now, when it was too late, she wanted the life her reckless act with Adar had made impossible. Daylon, waiting outside with the transport running, met her at the door to take the carryalls from her. He closed the cabin and escorted her into the transport cockpit without speaking. He piloted the transport above the trees, set the course, and turned to look at her. She spoke first. ―Where are you letting me off?‖ ―Anywhere you’d like to go.‖ She glanced down at her clenched hands, her throat aching with the effort not to cry. Such weakness was unbecoming in a sexual empath. They didn’t lose their hearts to males who no longer wanted them. And they didn’t cry. They endeavored to make the most of whatever situation they found themselves in. ―I’d like to stay with you, Daylon.‖ Silence greeted her remark. She bit her lip and looked up to find him staring at her. ―I know I should have told you the truth the first time you told me you thought you’d swelled my belly, but—‖ ―Why didn’t you? Why did you continue to insist you had nothing to tell me, Tanari?‖ ―I was afraid.‖ ―Of what? What does a sexual empath have to fear from any male whose will she can easily shape to hers?‖ She hadn’t been able to do that with him or Adar. ―I was afraid you’d leave me if I told you the truth.‖ A tear trickled down her cheek. She decided nothing would be gained by reminding him that she had told him at least once that Adar had swelled her belly. He reached out to flick it away with a finger. She gulped in a breath before she dared to look at him. ―Are you sure you want to stay with me, Tanari?‖ She nodded. ―You want to be my woman?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―Are you prepared to cede a portion of control to me as every Supreme Alpha has a right to expect from his woman?‖ The suggestion roiled her empathian blood. But the woman who valued him and desperately longed to continue sharing his life and bed, won out. ―Yes…if that’s what you really want.‖ He caressed her cheek before he lifted her chin.

When she raised her lids to meet his gaze, he leaned over and pressed a long, demanding kiss against her mouth. As he sat back in his chair, he spoke in a soft voice. ―Cocamora te’amous, my luscious Tanari.‖ She blinked up at him. ―Cocamora?‖ He nodded, a slow smile spreading across his handsome face. ―And now it’s time for you to hear my confession.‖ ―What do you have to confess?‖ ―I’ve known all along that his seed had swelled your belly.‖ ―What do you mean all along? When did you know?‖ ―I knew when I followed you.‖ She shook her head. ―If you knew…‖ ―If I knew why did I pursue you?‖ ―Yes.‖ He caressed her cheek and then trailed his fingertips down her neck to touch her cleavage. ―Why do you think I followed you?‖ ―I don’t know.‖ ―Don’t you? Then I’d better tell you.‖ He stroked her breasts. ―Because I knew the moment I saw you, I wanted you as I’ve never wanted any other female.‖ ―But you let me think you…I don’t understand.‖ He rose, walked around to her seat, and lifted her to her feet. ―My plan has always included you as my woman. My only woman.‖ ―Your only woman?‖ She sucked in a breath. ―For how long?‖ He smiled, pinching her bottom. ―You still haven’t had a chance to look up the meaning of the word ad infinitum?‖ he teased. ―Forever?‖ He nodded. ―I knew you were as bright as you are pretty.‖ ―Daylon.‖ She flung her arms around his neck. ―Oh, Daylon.‖ He embraced her. When she lifted her face, he kissed her. The warmth and tenderness in his lips swelled her heart with joy and passion. With his hungry mouth locked over hers, he picked her up. He managed to maneuver them back into the bedchamber without breaking their lip lock. There he stripped them both, tossed her onto the bed, and sank down into her arms. Feeling his cock powering into her channel, she clutched him close. Despite her sore breasts, as he cocked her several times, she matched him thrust for thrust, crying out as his big shaft pushed her to several orgasms.

Finally sated, she drifted to sleep with him still between her thighs, pumping deep into her and growling in her ear as he shot his seed within her already full pussy. Later, as they neared his pack’s compound, he woke her with a warm kiss. She smiled up at him. ―Daylon.‖ He smiled, caressing her cheek. ―Te’amora.‖ She took his hand and kissed his fingers. ―What does Te’amora mean?‖ ―That I love you.‖ Tears filled her eyes. ―I love you too,‖ she whispered. ―Are you sure?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―What about the centaurian? I thought he was the great love of your life.‖ ―He was—until I met you. Though he and I shared a passion and affection, he always knew we weren’t meant to be together.‖ ―Then why did he swell your belly?‖ ―He didn’t.‖ He frowned. ―What?‖ ―Well, not on purpose.‖ She bit her lip and then told him how she’d come to be carrying Adar’s foaling. He stared at her without speaking. Then he laughed. ―A beautiful, intelligent woman who knows how to get what she wants. I’m even more impressed.‖ ―You are?‖ ―I am. Still if you’ve gone to such lengths you must have strong feelings for him.‖ Denying what Adar had meant to her was out of the question, but she struggled to explain in a way that wouldn’t alienate Daylon. ―I’m carrying his foaling and he’ll always have a place in my heart, but you’re the one I love. Are you going to be all right with my having his foaling?‖ ―It will also be yours. And he and I share a common if ancient kinship.‖ He frowned. ―But we both know your having his foaling will give him certain rights. How will you respond when he seeks you out?‖ ―If he were going to come, he would have come.‖ She sighed. Her one source of disappointment in Adar was his failure to follow her to make sure she was okay. ―He will come, Tanari.‖ ―Then he’ll find that I’m committed to you now.‖ ―We’ll see.‖ ―Yes, Daylon. We will,‖ she said coolly, annoyed that he doubted her word. He stroked his palm over her stomach. ―The next time your belly swells, it will be with my cubs.‖

She softened and nodded. ―Yes. Oh, yes, Daylon. I’ll have as many cubs as you want me to.‖ ―Are you sure? While I love your sass and have no wish to rob you of the traits that make you so irresistible to me, as Supreme Alpha, I have to appear to have complete control of my mate. Are you prepared to behave in public for appearance’s sake?‖ She lifted her chin. ―It will be difficult, but I think I’ll manage to give the appearance of submission in public. But you’ll pay for it in private.‖ He laughed. ―Spoken like the vixen I love, te’amora. I wouldn’t have it any other way.‖ She smiled, pleased. ―Are you ready to fully commit to be my woman, Tanari?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―Then it’s time we exchanged a private blood oath to seal our bond.‖ She shivered with excitement. ―Yes.‖ He leaned over her. ―Prepare yourself. This might be a little painful but it’s a necessary step, te’amora.‖ She nodded then bit her lip as his teeth sank into the side of her neck. After a brief moment of fear, she cupped her hands over the back of his head, closing her eyes. He caressed her breasts and fingered her pussy as he fed on her. Stroking her fingers through his dark hair, she experienced a rush close to a climax as he drank her blood. When he finally lifted his head, he leaned over to kiss her. Responding to the warmth of his mouth, she tasted her blood on his lips and tongue. Pinching her clit, he sat back on the bed. She opened her eyes, looking up in wonder into his glowing silver gaze. He caressed her breasts. ―Your blood is as sweet as your pussy nectar.‖ ―I’m a near virginal sexual empath. Why would you expect anything less?‖ He laughed. ―Dios, I love you.‖ ―I love you too, Daylon.‖ ―Do you love me enough to accept our customs?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―Are you sure? Some non-shifter women find them a bit…barbaric.‖ ―Do they involve pain?‖ ―Only that inflicted on a willing pussy by a hard cock.‖ The thought of being cocked again in front of his pack excited her. ―Sex in front of an audience?‖ He nodded. ―You know of our customs?‖

―I can do that.‖ ―Good. Now I’ve tasted yours, it’s time for you to taste my blood to seal our bond.‖ She sat up, her heart racing. ―I’m ready.‖ He lifted his left arm, sinking his teeth into his wrist. He removed his teeth and extended his bleeding wrist to her. She clutched his arm and lowered her head, closing her lips over the blood flowing from the two small wounds. The first taste of his blood sent a jolt of joy through her. She slurped at his wrist until he gently disengaged his arm. ―Don’t get greedy, te’amora.‖ With blood on her lips and tongue, she leaned forward. ―Te’amora, Daylon.‖ ―Cocamora, te’amora,‖ he whispered and bent his head. Their parted lips met, their tongues twirled around each other as they sealed their blood oath with a long, sweet kiss.

Chapter Three Before he landed the transport inside his pack’s compound, they went into the shower, where he quickly cocked her. When she started to wash herself, he shook his head. ―No. Don’t wash yet.‖ ―But I’m seeping cum.‖ ―Yes. I know,‖ he said, smiling with satisfaction. ―That’s the idea.‖ They dressed and then with his seed trickling down her thigh and with clear evidence on her neck of the oath they’d taken, they stepped out of the transport into a large courtyard. Several floors above, buck–naked shifters lined the rooftop, staring down at them. As Daylon paused and smiled up at them, they leaned forward shouting. ―Te’amous, Alpha.‖ ―Te’amous,‖ he said in a voice brusque with emotion. He lifted her hand to his lips. ―As many of you know, this is Tanari Jamora. I’ve taken her as my woman and bond mate.‖ He released her hand and touched her neck. ―We’ve taken a blood oath.‖ He caressed her stomach and then surprised her by lifting her tunic to caress her exposed pussy. ―She’s full of my seed and her belly is swelling.‖ He pulled her tunic off, leaving her standing naked in front of countless shifters. Noting several of the shifters’ cocks thickening, she gasped, slipping her hands over her breasts and pussy. ―No,‖ he said, turning to look at her. ―Cocking is a big and natural part of our lives—as is nudity. Don’t attempt to hide your charms or the fact that you're full of my cum.‖ She swallowed and dropped her hands, clenched into fists to her side. Several of the male shifters, growled low in their throats and jumped down into the courtyard. All of them were erect. She shrank back against Daylon. ―They won’t hurt you,‖ he assured her. ―These are some of my den alphas.‖ ―What do they want?‖ ―To get your scent.‖ ―They can get it from where they are.‖ ―They’re going to approach but you need have no fear of any of them, Tanari.‖ The males padded forward. A few rubbed their muzzles against her belly before sniffing her pussy. Tanari stroked their heads in response to a soft voice command from Daylon.

One impertinent shifter thrust his tongue against her clit, sending an unexpected jolt through her. The last of the five sniffed her pussy and then began licking and nipping at it, flooding her tunnel. She gripped his head fur and slowly rubbed her dripping pussy against his snout. Feeling his warm tongue along her slit, she shivered. What was she doing? She dropped her hands, taking several steps back. He growled and pursued her. ―It’s all right,‖ Daylon assured her. She stood still, her heart racing. The strange shifter padded in front of her, staring up at her with silver eyes. She sucked in a breath and stared back. What did he want? Then he deliberately and unexpectedly thrust his extended tongue between her thighs and deep up into her pussy. Suppressing a gasp of pleasure, she jerked away and slapped him. He growled again and then quickly shifted into a tall handsome male with dark hair and silver eyes. Unable to drag her gaze from the long, thick length protruding in front of his body, she bit her lip. Stark naked and aroused, he laughed and leaned down to engage her in a long, passionate lip lock. As she shoved against his shoulders, her pussy flooded again. Keeping his lips locked on hers, he pulled her close. His thick shaft pulsed along her belly seconds before he rubbed the big head against her slit. Tanari responded as any sexual empath would to such provocation. She parted her thighs. He bent his knees and then pushed the big head of his hard, hot cock into her. She trembled with need. He glanced at Adar. ―Dios, Daylon, this is good pussy.‖ Daylon leaned down to nip at her shoulder. ―It’s the best I’ve never had.‖ He looked at her with a shuddered look in his eyes. ―Te'amora, this is Xander Adar, my cousin.‖ ―What is he doing, Daylon?‖ Xander Adar cupped her ass and smiled down at her. ―Can't you tell?‖ ―You have your cock in me.‖ ―How can I tell if you’re really filled with his seed and have a swelling belly unless I put my cock in you?‖

She stared up at him, her heart pounding with pure, unmitigated cock lust. Smiling as if he knew she wanted him just where he was—inside her, he pushed several more inches of big cock up into her. She struggled to suppress the impulse to widen her legs further, giving his easier access to her pussy. She felt his shaft probing her vagina. If he didn’t stop soon, she’d be in danger of coming. ―Get out of me,‖ she whispered. ―Oh, yeah, you’re filled with cum.‖ Tanari sucked in a relieved breath. ―If you’re satisfied, take your cock out of me now.‖ He shook his head. ―Take my cock out? Since I’m already inside you, surely you’re not going to deny me a little pussy and a quick fuck.‖ Her channel pulsed. ―A quick fuck?‖ ―Or two.‖ He grinned at her. ―This is good, almost virginal pussy and I intend to get the fuck I'm entitled to.‖ ―Oh…n—‖ He leaned down and captured her mouth, driving the rest of his cock up into her. She gasped, tearing her mouth away from his. Instead of channeling her empathian energy to expel his invading cock, she parted her legs and welcomed him into her pussy. With his entire shaft pulsing deep inside her, they stood staring at each other. His silver gaze blazed down at her. He groaned. ―Dios, this is good pussy.‖ The awe and excitement she heard in his voice thrilled her. She circled her lips with her tongue. ―If you think that feels good, wait,‖ she told him, tightening her vaginal muscles around him. ―How does this feel?‖ ―Holy dios!‖ He shuddered. She laughed, sliding her hands up his chest to his rest on his broad shoulders. ―The harder your cock, the better it feels,‖ she whispered, nibbling at his neck. ―Holy shit!‖ ―Cock me,‖ she invited. ―Cock my pussy hard and deep and I’ll make you feel better than you ever imagined.‖ With Daylon and the assembled shifters looking on, he dug his fingers into her ass and gave her a hot, torturously sweet cocking. He kissed her until she couldn’t breathe, and pinched and sucked her sore breasts. Each touch of his hands and lips sent a fresh rush of desire sizzling through her. She tightened her hands on his shoulders, rocking her hips against his. ―Take me…cock me hard,‖ she encouraged. He parted her nether cheeks and fucked two fingers up into her bottom.

She bit her lip, shaking with pleasure. He raked his teeth against her neck, filling her ears with lustful descriptions of how much he enjoyed fucking her. Her climax built quickly. She cried out and came. He continued to fuck her with the deep, powerful strokes of a man who hadn’t had pussy in years. By the time he finally ejaculated in her, she caressed him and whispered encouragement. When he stopped coming, he lifted his mouth from hers. Still inside her, he smiled down at her and slapped her ass. ―Daylon is right.‖ He brushed his lips against her ear. ―I’ve had lots of pussy, most of it very good. But yours is beyond good. It’s delicious.‖ Tanari shivered and smiled, pleased by the compliment. ―You cock almost as well as Daylon.‖ She stroked her fingers through his short dark hair. ―Cocking expertise must run in the family.‖ ―Does delicious pussy run in yours, Tanari?‖ She thought of Nadia, pretty, shy, and shamefully unaware of the myriad of joys to be found at the end of a hard, pounding Denhari shifter cock. ―No. Anyone can do delicious pussy. My cousin and I are sexual empaths. We only do exquisite pussy.‖ ―Cousin? You have a cousin?‖ ―Yes.‖ ― This cousin of yours—‖ ―She’s a virgin, still waiting for the right male to come along.‖ Or she was if she hadn’t decided to allow Redner to cock her channel instead of her bottom. She caressed his clenched ass. ―If you like my pus—‖ ―I don’t like your pussy. I love it. If I linger in you too much longer, I’ll begin to crave it, as Daylon clearly does.‖ ―You’re as discerning as you are handsome, Xander. Imagine the exquisite delight to be enjoyed buried balls inside her with your big, thrusting cock drowning in a river of virgin blood and hot, pussy juice.‖ He shuddered. ―Now you’ve done it. I have to have another fuck.‖ ―So who’s stopping you, Xander?‖ He clutched her close and kissed her. She parted her lips, pressing her hips against his. He lifted her right leg to provide deeper penetration and they shared a hot, brutally fast fuck. As he assaulted her pussy, she felt his hard knot slamming against her. It took all of her self-control not to allow him to force it up into her body. By the time they came, her pussy felt bruised and battered. Instead of immediately uncoupling, they kissed and ground against each other for several minutes until he tore his lips from hers and lifted his head to look down at her again.

He bent his head to lick her nipples. He whispered something incoherent. ―What? What did you say?‖ ―I said the next time I might knot you.‖ He eased his cock out of her. ―The next time? If there is a next time, I might let you,‖ she shot back. ―Or I might not.‖ He laughed and turned to Daylon and dropped to his knees. He spoke several sentences in a language Tanari didn’t understand. Daylon nodded, lifting his hand to indicate Xander should rise. Xander rose and took her hand in his. He turned to face the shifters still lining the roof above them. ―Pack Adrian, please join me in welcoming Tanari Jamora into our pack.‖ ―It’s all about the pussy,‖ someone shouted. ―What about her pussy, Xander?‖ ―I can assure you all she possesses pussy exquisite enough to keep Daylon happy ad infinitum and to swell our ranks with many cubs.‖ A chant rained down on them. ―Te’amous, Tanari Jamora.‖ She looked at Daylon. He smiled and leaned close to whisper in her ear. ―It means welcome, my luscious one.‖ She smiled. ―Oh, Daylon.‖ Xander turned her face back to his and kissed her fingers. ―As Daylon’s closest living male relative, it’s my pleasure to extend our familial welcome. May you and Daylon share a long life filled with love, joy, and numerous cubs. Te’amous. Welcome to our family, Tanari Jamora Daylon.‖ How could he be so formal after cocking the cum out of her? Shifters. She smiled and inclined her head. ―Thank you, Xander.‖ He kissed her lips and turned to give her hand to Daylon. Someone called his name as he walked away. He glanced up. Tanari did as well and found herself staring up into a pair of blue eyes filled with resentment. She looked at Daylon. ―Who is she?‖ ―Her name is Cassia.‖ ―She doesn’t look that welcoming to me.‖ He shrugged. ―She’s Xander’s woman and you’re mine and she would do well to remember that at all times.‖ Her eyes widened. ―His woman? He cocked me in front of his woman?‖ ―It’s our way.‖ ―But in front of her?‖ ―I’m here too,‖ he reminded her in a cool voice. ―You can’t imagine I liked it anymore than she did.‖

―You…I thought…‖ ―You thought I’d enjoy watching you enjoy another male cock you? Why the hell would you think that?‖ ―Why did you allow it then?‖ ―Because it was his right.‖ She shook her head. ―I’m sorry, Daylon. I—‖ He pressed his fingers against her lips. ―Don’t apologize for something you haven’t done. You’re a sexual empath. You’re wired to enjoy mating. So are we. It’s our cultural norm. I didn’t like seeing you with him, but I’ll learn to cope.‖ ―I won’t ever let him touch me again. I’ll—‖ ―Yes. You will and you’ll both enjoy it.‖ He caressed her cheek. ―And that’s as it should be. He and I share a blood tie that—‖ ―Have you ever cocked his woman?‖ He swept her up into his arms and carried her through large open doors and into the cool confinements of the main house in the compound. He pushed open the door of a large cream and burgundy colored room and set her on her feet. ―Yes. I have cocked her, but it meant nothing to me. While I was without a bond mate, it was my obligation to cock all the female members of the pack who wanted me during our feast months. She always wanted me.‖ She stroked her hands over his shoulders. ―And now? Will you continue to cock her?‖ ―She’s important to Xander. If she wants me to and if you have no objections, I might occasionally cock her, but it will mean even less to me than it used to.‖ ―If she’s so important to him, why haven’t they bonded?‖ ―Because I’ve forbidden it until he’s sired at least one cub.‖ ―Can’t he sire one with her?‖ ―No. She’s barren.‖ She thought of Nadia, pining away for what she couldn’t have with Redner and her own anguish with Adar. ―Let them bond.‖ ―He and I are the last males of our line. He can bond with her once he’s sired at least one cub.‖ ―What about you? You’ve bonded with me. Does that mean you’ve already sired a cub?‖ His jaw clenched. ―No, but I will…you’ve already admitted you plan to bear me as many cubs as I want.‖ ―But I haven’t yet. So you make an exception for yourself but not him?‖ ―There are benefits attached to being Supreme Alpha.‖ ―That's not fair, Daylon. In fact—‖

―Before you continue, you should know that I’m not in the mood to be challenged or questioned ad nauseam about the subject, Tanari.‖ ―But you’re not being fair.‖ ―I don’t have to be!‖ He snapped. ―Have I made myself clear?‖ ―Yes,‖ she told him in a cold, clipped voice. ―You have one living male relative who you choose to treat unfairly—‖ ―Tanari!‖ He growled her name and curled back his lips. ―I don’t want to hear anymore from you about Xander!‖ ―Fine.‖ She turned away. He caught her hand and turned her back to face him. ―You don’t get to walk away when I’m talking to you, Tanari.‖ She stared at him before she jerked her hand away. ―And you don’t get to manhandle me, Daylon.‖ ―I get to do anything I want.‖ The cold look in his eyes sent a shiver of dread through her. What had possessed her to put herself at the mercy of a Denhari Shifter known for their brutal treatment of women? Why had she allowed him to con her into believing she could possibly mean anything to him? What did he plan for her? What if having Xander cock her had been a precursor to having all pack members do the same? She sucked in a breath and slowly backed away from him. ―Stay where you are,‖ he told her in a low, barely-controlled voice. She stopped, struggling to control a feeling of panic. ―What do you want from me?‖ He closed the distance between them to caress her cheek. She slapped his hand away. ―Don’t touch me.‖ He swore before he stormed silently out of the room. She walked across the room to sink down onto the side of the bed. Was this what being a sexual empath entailed? Getting so caught up in a search for sensual pleasure that one lost track of all commonsense? Abandoning her plans with Nadia to run off with a shifter was pure madness. How was she going to get herself out of his compound? Why did she want to stay after his assertion that he could do anything he liked? Questions could wait until she managed to get out of the compound. She stood up. The door opened. Daylon entered. He still bore an aura of agitation. She tensed. ―Are you going to let me go?‖ ―We took a blood oath. You belong with me now.‖ ―Please let me go, Daylon.‖ He crossed the room to stand in front of her. ―If you wanted the freedom to go where you liked, you shouldn't have taken a blood oath. You're not leaving.‖

She compressed her lips. ―Don't plan on cocking me again!‖ ―Don't you plan on being allowed to tell me no when I want you!‖ Angry and hurt, she attempted to slap him. He caught her wrist, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed. Before she could scramble off, he pinned her down, holding her still with his body weight. Feeling his erect shaft pressing against body, she bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. ―Get off of me!‖ He bent his head. She shoved against his shoulders, turning away from his mouth. Shifting his weight, he captured her mouth, pulling her tongue between his lips. She curled her fingers in his hair and tugged hard. A low growl swelled deep in his chest moments before he forced her tunic up. ―This is so you know I can have you whenever I want—with or without your permission.‖ He drove his cock nuts deep into her pussy. Tanari gasped, curling her hands into fists. She struggled to force his cock out of her but couldn’t manage it. ―Stop! Please!‖ He pressed his lips against her ear. ―I’m doing this to show you that I will never take you without your permission.‖ To her surprise, he immediately withdrew his cock and rolled off of her. He left the room without speaking again.

Chapter Four Tanari turned onto her stomach burying her face in the pillow. What was happening to her? Why hadn’t she been able to force him out of her body? If he expected her to be grateful that he’d stopped, he would be in for a surprise. Yes, he’d stopped, but he shouldn’t have forced himself into her in the first place. She rolled onto her back where she lay staring up at the ceiling. What should she do? She considered and discarded several plans for getting out of the compound. The most sensible one would probably be to seek assistance from Xander. If he were unwilling, perhaps his woman, Cassia would have enough to an interest in keeping Xander away from Tanari to help her leave the compound. The trick would be to contact either of them without Daylon’s knowledge. Someone knocked on the door. She stiffened. ―Yes?‖ The door opened. A tall, full-figured female with long dark hair, silver eyes, and beautiful dark skin looked in. ―I’m Daria Amontain, second in command of Pack Adrian. May I come in?‖ She nodded slowly, surprised Daylon’s second was female. Daria stopped a few feet from her and bowed her head. ―It’s a pleasure to meet you, Alphia.‖ Hearing the title applied to her shook Tanari. How had the day that had started out so well gone so wrong? ―I need your help.‖ ―How may I assist you, Alphia?‖ ―My name is Tanari and I need to get away from Daylon.‖ She glanced at Tanari’s neck. ―You wish to revoke your blood oath?‖ ―Yes…no!‖ She bit her lip. Did she? ―If you do, I’ll provide safe passage from the compound to your home.‖ Home was a six or seven day trek on horseback across the desert. Nadia and Redner would welcome her back, but there would be no chance of accidentally encountering Daylon there. And she would have to make the trek without the comfort of Adar’s presence. ―Where is Daylon? Does he know you’re here?‖ ―He asked me to come assist you.‖ What was she supposed to make of that? ―Assist me how? Does he want me to go? Has he changed his mind about wanting me?‖ ―Blood oaths are for life, Alphia.‖

―What does that mean?‖ ―His feelings haven’t changed in the course of a day.‖ Tanari responded to the censure she heard in the other woman’s voice. ―Neither has mine!‖ ―I doubt that.‖ ―I don’t care what you doubt! My feelings for him haven’t changed.‖ A sudden, warm smile spread across the other woman’s face. ―I’m very glad to hear that. Will you require an escort home?‖ Daylon’s offering her an out after insisting he wouldn’t, touched her. He could also have forcefully cocked her. But he hadn’t. He’d made his point, but he’d also given her an assurance he’d never force mating on her. And she believed him. She shook her head. ―I am home.‖ ―Yes, Alphia, you are.‖ She inclined her head briefly. ―Daylon and I were cubs together. We’re also best friends. Allow me to extend my personal welcome to Pack Adrian.‖ ―Thank you. Where is Daylon?‖ ―He thought you needed some time alone so he’s on an inspection tour. Would you like me to let him know you want to see him?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―I will, but it’s going to take him awhile to return. In the meantime, you must be hungry. What can I order you for dinner?‖ ―I’ll wait for Daylon.‖ Daria smiled, bowed t her, and left. Having passed on a chance to return home, she’d need to make the most of being Daylon’s woman. Deciding she was equal to the challenge, she went in search of the bath chamber. To her delight, it was a large room that boasted both a double-wide sonic shower and an old-fashioned bath. After undressing, she slipped into a deep, warm, bath with numerous jets. She closed her eyes. Ignoring the rumbling protest of her stomach, she fell asleep. She woke to feel warm lips brushing against hers. A fully dressed Daylon sat on the side of the bath. A smile spread across her face. ―Daylon.‖ He caressed her cheek. ―You should know that I’d sooner cut off my knot than hurt you.‖ She felt the angry tension in him, but there was no doubting the look in his eyes. She had overreacted and been too quick to attribute bad motives to him. ―I’m sorry, Daylon,‖ she whispered. He drew her out of the bath and settled her across his lap. She turned in his arms.

As he held her close, taking slow, deep breathes, she felt his heart thumping against her. ―I haven’t given you any reason to think I’d hurt you,‖ he told her in a low, brusque voice. She pulled away to look up at him. ―You penetrated me when you knew I didn’t want you to, Daylon.‖ ―It won’t happen again.‖ In that moment when she passed on the urge to ask why she should trust his word, she knew she had forgiven him. If it happened again, she feared she’d forgive that as well. She pressed her cheek against his shoulder. ―Why didn’t you warn me that Xander would expect to cock me?‖ He kissed her hair. ―You said you knew of our customs.‖ ―I thought you were going to cock me in front of them. Not him.‖ ―It was his right as my closest living male relative. Besides, if you didn’t want him to cock you, you could have stopped him. You enjoyed it.‖ She lifted her chin. ―Why shouldn’t I have? He looks like you and he has good cock.‖ He slapped her ass. ―Of course he does. He’s an Adar.‖ ―Braggart!‖ He laughed. ―I did enjoy his cock.‖ And feeling his huge knot pressing against her pussy. ―You made that perfectly obvious to everyone watching, Tanari.‖ ―I’m a sexual empath,‖ she said, feeling defensive. ―I think I’m making up for all the years I denied myself the pleasure of mating.‖ He nodded. ―I know and as long as you and he are discreet and I never come home wanting you only to find him in your pussy, I have no objections to the occasional romp.‖ ―And while we’re romping, will you be romping with his woman?‖ ―Cassia? What would make you think I want to romp with her?‖ ―Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because she’s a tiny blonde with blue eyes.‖ ―If I were half as wild about small blondes as you like to think I am, I would have bonded with one before we met.‖ ―You don’t prefer them?‖ ―No. I don’t, but even if I did, how could one compare to you?‖ She smiled. ―That’s sweet. So I’m the only woman you’re interested in?‖ ―For the moment? Yes.‖ He grinned at her look of outrage. ―Your cousin will probably be a different story.‖ ―Nadia? You want to cock her?‖

He shrugged. ―Who wouldn’t after hearing you talk of cocks drowning in a river of virgin blood and hot pussy juice?‖ She shook her head. ―I don’t want you taking her virginity, Daylon.‖ ―Why not?‖ She paused with a hot response trembling on her lips. For all she knew Nadia might have decided to give Redner her virginity. ―Because she deserves to surrender it to a male who won’t be thinking that it’s all about the pussy as he takes her!‖ He frowned and cupped her face between his palms. ―Is that what you think I thought as I took yours?‖ ―Isn’t it?‖ ―It’s never been about pussy alone with you, Tanari. Never. If all I wanted from you was sex, I would have taken you without any care or consideration for your pleasure. And I would not have given you my knot.‖ ―It’s not like I’m the first one you gave it to.‖ She turned away. He caught her arm and turned her to face him. ―The males in my family are traditionalists.‖ ―Meaning what?‖ ―You are the only one I’ve given it to.‖ She stared at him. ―Oh…Daylon. I…I didn’t know.‖ She linked her arms around his neck. ―I’m sorry.‖ He engulfed her in his arms. ―I’m old school in many ways, Tanari. You are my te’amora and as long as you’re alive, you’re the only woman I will ever knot.‖ She stroked her fingers through his hair. ―Then I won’t have any objections to your cocking Nadia—provided she’s willing but only after she’s been cocked—hopefully by Xander.‖ ―Unless I miss my guess, he’ll bray and swear he’ll never take her, but in the end, he will take her virginity and experience the superb delight of giving his knot away for the first time.‖ ―He’s never knotted before?‖ ―He’s old school in that way too.‖ He lifted his head to look down at her. ―What’s the gleam I see in your eye? Do I detect designs on his knot?‖ She bit her lip. ―Would you mind if by some accident, I happened to get it?‖ ―Accident? You mean like your seducing him and then parting your long lovely legs and begging for his knot in a voice no male worth the name could resist? That kind of accident?‖ She laughed. ―Yes. That kind of accident.‖ He shook his head. ―If you want his first knot and he wants to give it to you, go for it.‖ ―Are you sure it won’t bother you?‖

―We both have strong, potent sex drives, Tanari. However, with the possible exception of your cousin, I have no desire to cock anyone other than you. You won’t need to worry that I’ll be cocking anyone else. I won’t.‖ ―And I don’t want to cock anyone but you and Xander.‖ She thought of Adar and compressed her lips. He arched a brow and smiled but didn’t press her. ―Why don’t we make a deal? I won’t object to your taking Xander’s knot if you don’t object to my taking Nadia’s virginity.‖ ―But you won’t love her!‖ ―No, I won’t. How can I when I love you?‖ ―I want her first time to be special.‖ ―Didn’t I make yours special?‖ ―Yes.‖ ―Then trust me to do the same with her—unless Xander gets to her first.‖ ―And if he does?‖ ―Then he does. I’m not going to go out of my way to cock her. If the opportunity presents itself, I’ll take it. If it doesn’t, I won’t lose any sleep over it.‖ ―You won’t force her. Will you?‖ He shrugged. She hit his shoulder. ―Daylon!‖ He rose, putting her on her feet. ―I might. I didn’t force you because I knew you were going to be my woman and I wanted you to welcome and want me inside your pussy. With her, it would be all about the pussy.‖ Strangely enough, the words comforted rather than outraged her. As much as she loved Nadia and wanted her to be happy, she didn’t want Daylon in love with her. ―Promise me you won’t be brutal.‖ ―That I can promise. Now let me give you a tour of the compound and then you and I are going out to my favorite place for dinner and later.‖ Linking her arms around his neck, she pressed her breasts against his chest. ―And after dinner?‖ ―We’re going to come back here and fuck in the moonlight in the courtyard where all who are so inclined can watch.‖ She smiled. ―A romantic dinner for two and then fucking in the moonlight with a hoard of horny shifters watching. What could be more perfect? I like it. Let’s do it.‖ ―I’m going to cock you to within an inch of your lovely life,‖ he warned. ―Promises, promises.‖ He slapped her ass. ―Let’s go get dressed.‖ ***

Three weeks later, when the pack had dispersed to their individual dwellings, Daylon woke her just after dawn. ―You have a visitor,‖ he said. Tanari frowned. Flush with currency provided by Daylon, Nadia and Redner were to spend several weeks exploring Aeolia Prime before coming to the compound to meet Daylon. Although troubled by Nadia’s obvious reluctance to meet Daylon, Tanari knew Redner would protect her cousin. She felt fairly confident that once they met, he’d manage to win Nadia over—as he’d won her. Tanari focused on the present. She couldn’t imagine who else would have braved a shifter compound to see her except…―Who is it?‖ He arched a brow. ―Is it Adar?‖ Daylon nodded, his long lashes concealing the expression in his eyes. She sat up and clutched a hand over her breasts. Even though she ached to see him and she’d frequently dreamed of their happier days, she was reluctant to face Adar. ―How does he seem? Does he seem angry?‖ Daylon touched her cheek. ―You’re my treasure. If he were, he wouldn’t be allowed into the compound and I certainly wouldn’t let him anywhere near you.‖ ―I don’t think I can face him. He’ll—‖ He pressed a finger against her mouth. ―You need to see him and tell him you’re carrying his foaling—although I have an idea he already knows. Then we’re going to have to face the consequences.‖ ―What consequences?‖ ―His people are facing extinction and he’s swelled your belly. He would be within his rights to insist of taking the foaling.‖ She stared at him, her lips parting in shock. She placed a hand over her belly. ―No! No, Daylon! He wouldn’t.‖ ―Are you sure?‖ ―Yes! I am!‖ But a part of her wasn’t. Adar had never talked of his life before her father found him in the desert. She had no idea if he had any close relatives. If he didn’t, their foaling would be all he had. Given that fact, did she need to fear his presence in the compound? She sucked in a breath. Talking to him had never been a problem. ―Where is he?‖ ―He’s waiting in the reception room. Do you want me to come with you?‖ She nodded. ―Yes, but I suppose he deserves to hear the truth of what I’ve done in private.‖ He smiled. ―That’s my sassy woman.‖ He lifted her chin so he could gaze down into her eyes. ―No matter what happens, we'll face it together.‖ ―Thank you, Daylon.‖

He kissed her cheek and left her alone in their chambers. She showered and slipped on one of the many new tunics Daylon delighted in buying her. After combing her hair and applying a light foundation, she felt she could no longer avoid facing Adar. With Daylon’s assurances that he would stand by her, she went to meet Adar. He stood looking down onto the desert atrium below but immediately turned the moment she quietly entered the room. The smile he gave her held no trace of malice or anger. Detecting no determination to take her foaling in his gaze, she sucked in a breath and rushed across the room to fling her arms around his neck. ―Adar! I’ve missed you.‖ He enclosed her in his arms, brushing his lips against her forehead and hair. ―And I’ve missed you. How are you, Tanari?‖ She stepped out of his embrace. ―Happy and content.‖ He nodded. ―You look both. He’s good to you?‖ ―Very good.‖ ―He tells me you and he have exchanged blood oaths.‖ She wrapped her arms around her body. ―It was one of the most exciting moments in my life.‖ Almost as exciting as the first time Daylon had knotted her. ―And so the empath chooses to settle down before really wielding her sensual power over a lusting male populace?‖ ―As you know, that’s not something I ever really wanted. But even if I had, I have everything I want in him.‖ ―Everything?‖ She nodded. ―Yes. Everything and because he fulfills all my needs, I have no desire to spend my life being cocked by a succession of males who could never mean half of what he does to me.‖ ―He’s lucky.‖ She smiled. ―I think he believes he is. I know I am. What about you, Adar?‖ ―I’m fine.‖ ―Are you? Have you…do you know what I did the night I left you in the desert?‖ ―Yes. I know, Tanari.‖ ―Have you forgiven me?‖ He lifted her hand and kissed her fingers. ―Yes.‖ She withdrew her hand and took a deep breath before she made her confession. ―As a result of that dishonorable act, my belly has swelled.‖ He inclined his head. ―I know.‖ She closed her eyes briefly. ―I want to say I’m sorry and in a way I am.‖ ―But?‖

―But it’s difficult to regret the life that is growing inside me. Each morning I wake filled with awe at what’s happening.‖ She touched her stomach. ―Feeling your foaling growing gives me a sense of joy and wonder that I can’t fully explain.‖ He reached out to place his hand over hers on her stomach. She pulled her hand away, leaving his on her belly. After a brief hesitation, he slipped his hand under her tonic, on the bare skin oh her belly. ―I don’t regret it either.‖ She pressed her hand over his on her belly. ―How can I atone?‖ ―There’s nothing for which you need atone, Tanari. You’re carrying my foaling. Although I didn’t have the pleasure of personally implanting it in your sweet pussy, I still embrace your swelling with joy.‖ He slid his palm down her belly to finger her slit. She stiffened. He slipped two fingers inside her. To her dismay, her tunnel flooded. Afraid of his stirring her emotions even more, she pushed his hand away. ―Although I still love you and always will, the time when I welcomed your touch is past, Adar. He brought his fingers to his lips and licked them. ―I can taste traces of his seed mixed with your fluids. He’s cocked you this morning?‖ ―He knows a good thing when he has it. He cocks me every morning,‖ she retorted. To her surprise, Adar laughed and reached out to pull her into his embrace. They stared at each other. ―You know I love you, Tanari. Don’t you?‖ She nodded, her throat tightening. ―And you still love me?‖ ―I’ve already admitted I always will, but—‖ ―Then I demand what’s mine!‖ When he bent his head, she turned her face away. He turned it back and pressed a series of hard, hungry kisses against her mouth. When she gasped, he pushed his tongue between her lips and sucked on hers. She curled her fingers into fists and pulled away from him. ―I belong to Daylon now, Adar.‖ He nodded. ―I know and I’m pleased for you both, but you’re carrying my foaling.‖ She bit her lip. Was he going to disappoint her by insisting on taking her foaling? ―Adar—‖ He slid his thumb along her slit. ―You know that gives me certain rights.‖ She shook her head. ―It does. Daylon knows that as well. He knows I’m here to collect.‖ She stared at him. ―Coll…you don’t mean you expect to cock me?‖ ―I do mean that, Tanari.‖

If she allowed him to cock her, would that decrease the chance of his trying to take her foaling? ―I have Daylon’s permission to collect my due as the sire of your child. Do I have yours?‖ She sucked in a painful breath, her throat locked tight. What should she do? Making the decision for her, Adar, drew her back into his arms and kissed her again. He did it slowly, as if determined to enjoy every second of the contact with her lips while quickly arousing her. The old feelings, needs, and lusts she’d thought dead built in her belly. As he ravished her mouth and tongue, a slow, almost painful heat rose up from her pussy, filling her with a rush of desire. She slipped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss. He kissed her until she was breathless and then he trailed his hot lips down her neck. Gripping her tunic, he ripped it in two, exposing her body. Scorching a path to her breasts, he cupped them in his hands and sucked her right nipple between his lips. ―Oh…‖ She shuddered, her body arching forward. He bit her nipple before lifting his head to stare down into her eyes. Feeling as if her body were on fire, she couldn’t seem to get enough air in her lungs. He placed his hands on her shoulders and positioned her against the wall near the window. ―Part your legs and give me your pussy, my sweet Tanari.‖ In a daze, she opened her legs. He stepped closer rubbing his chest against her breast. Liquid fire boiled in her. He smiled. ―You’ve always had a sweet, responsive pussy. One or two gentle caresses and it fills with moisture, ready to take cock. You are ready for my cock. Aren’t you?‖ She shook with need. He stepped back, staring at her naked figure. ―Being cocked and knotted looks good on you.‖ He extended his hand. ―Come and let me cock you, my Tanari. Let me experience the sweet pleasure I’ve denied myself for far too long.‖ Her eyes filled with tears as she heard the sound of his shaft popping out of its sheath. ―Te’amora, Tanari,‖ he whispered, his voice brusque. ―Oh…Adar…te’amora.‖ He bent his knees, pressed his length against her tunnel, and slowly but ruthlessly pushed his huge, thick cock between the lips of her slit and up into her wet, aching pussy. Clutching his shoulders, she thrust her hips forward, sobbing with delight as he filled her pussy with every inch of his hard, hot length. When she thought she couldn’t

bear anymore, he cupped her quivering ass in his palms and drove his knot into her already stuffed pussy. His hard lips crashed down on her mouth to smother her cry of exquisite pain. She tossed her head back and dug her nails into his flanks as he fucked her with hard, hot, powerful strokes that made her pussy burn and her entire body shake uncontrollably until she was no longer sure where the pain ended and the pleasure began. She came several times as he cocked and knotted her before he blasted her pussy with what felt like a lake of fiery cum that ran down one thigh in little rivers. Overcome with lust too long denied, she wrapped her arms around his neck and, pushing her feet off the floor, she wound her legs over his flanks and bounced herself up and down along the long length of his big dick. ―More…give me more…give me all of your dick…dick me…hurt me, Adar! Make my pussy burn. Dick me until I scream.‖ He slapped her ass. ―You already have.‖ They both took a moment to laugh then he dicked her so hard and so deep, she growled and bit into his neck as she came, releasing a torrent of pussy juice all over his ejaculating cock. He held her close and she continued to bite at his neck, greedily drinking his blood long after she had stopped coming. The taste and texture of his blood intoxicated her senses. Finally, sated from her feast of blood and cock, she lifted her teeth from his neck, removed her legs from his flanks and lowered her feet to the floor. She felt almost drunk with satisfaction. They stared at each other in silence before she licked his blood from her lips and touched the wound on his neck. ―Did I hurt you?‖ ―Yes,‖ he admitted, ―But I have a feeling you found my cock just as painful.‖ She smiled and rubbed her sore breasts against his chest. ―It hurt like walking across a blazing hot desert barefoot, but then so does Daylon’s cock.‖ Her smile vanished as she realized what she’d said. ―Oh, Adar, I love cock and dick, I crave knotting, and now I find I’ve developed a taste for blood. What does it mean?‖ ―That you’re the Alpha shifter’s woman in the truest sense of the word.‖ At the sound of Daylon’s voice answering instead of Adar, Tanari gasped and swung around.

Chapter Five Naked, aroused, and partially shifted to his natural form from his waist down, Daylon, padded into the room. Tanari stared, fascinated by the sight. Seeing him mid-shift made him seem more like Adar and heightened her passion. He crossed the room to look down at her. Heat burned her cheeks as he touched her slit, from which Adar’s seed seeped. ―I can explain,‖ she said. He raised his gaze to hers. ―Really? Please do.‖ She bit her lip. He sounded more amused than angry. Uncertain how to explain having eagerly allowed and participated as Adar cocked and knotted her, she did what she’d done for so many years—turned to Adar for guidance. She gasped. The male standing behind her had the lower body of a humanoid male. ―Adar!‖ She touched his hairless thighs. ―What’s happened to you?‖ He smiled, put an arm around her, and pulled her close. ―I’ve shifted,‖ he said, brushing his lips against hers. She tried to draw away from the hard dick pulsing against her belly, but he only tightened his arm around her waist, keeping her close. ―You can’t shift.‖ He laughed. ―I’ve learned a thing or two while we’ve been separated, my luscious beauty.‖ ―It’s unfortunate that one of them wasn’t how to keep your oversized dick out of a pussy that belongs to another male,‖ Daylon said. Tanari tensed. Ignoring Daylon’s rejoinder, Adar thwarted her attempts to turn away by palming her bottom. She shook her head, desperate to make things right with Daylon. ―No, Adar.‖ ―It’s a crime against nature that such a large, lovely ass has never been cocked.‖ He gently parted her cheeks. She stared at him. ―What are you doing—oh!‖ A hard, pulsing shaft pressed against her bottom. She glanced over her shoulder just as Daylon pushed the head of his cock between her nether cheeks and lodged it inside her rectum. ―Daylon!‖ He eased his hips forward, feeding a few more inches of hot cock up her ass. ―Yes, my beauty?‖

While she stared at him with her lips parted in shock, Adar, slipped his dick into her pussy. Before she could react, they both pushed their hips forward and she was full of shifter cock and dick. While she shuddered with delight, they began sliding in and out of her with a seductive rhythm that sent jolts of utter bliss shooting all through her body. Daylon slipped his big hands over her breasts and bent to feed on her blood. Adar sucked her tongue into his mouth and continued to keep her cheeks spread for Daylon. Buffeted by the two males she loved and adored and certain she would soon know the extreme joy of having them both knot her, Tanari cried out and shuddered to a quick, explosive climax. Both of her handsome lovers kept fucking her as she slumped forward to lay her cheek against Adar’s shoulder. Daylon lifted her body until her feet left the floor. As she dangled limply between them each drove his nut up into her already stretched orifices. She screamed with bliss as they fucked her with a ruthless, single-minded purpose. One exquisite orgasm rolled into another until she heard herself answering their growls of satisfaction with softer ones. When they finally came, they expended so much seed inside her, cum dripped from both her stuffed openings. Lovely. Adar eased out of her first. When Daylon's shaft cleared her body, she turned and collapsed in his arms. Adar leaned over to kiss her neck. ―Te’ amous, Tanari.‖ ―Te’ amous, Adar.‖ She cuddled against Daylon and fell into a deep, contented sleep. ***** Several hours later, Daylon woke her to tell her Adar wanted to see her before he left. Left? He was leaving again before they discussed where their foaling would live? The knowledge filled her with conflicting emotions. Part of her longed for him to stay. Another part wanted a fresh start where Daylon had no rival for her heart or affection. ―Where is he?‖ ―He’s waiting in the reception room.‖ She kissed Daylon and slipped out of bed. Taking slow, deep breathes, she pulled a tunic over her naked body and walked to the reception area. Adar, still shifted in humanoid form, turned to smile at her. A wave of regret for what they might have shared had he been less noble washed over her. She dismissed it and returned his smile with an uncertain one. ―I took something you were unwilling to give me and—‖

―I never gave it to you because I’ve always known that your destiny lies elsewhere. As does mine.‖ ―What about our foaling?‖ He stared at her for several long moments before he shook his head. ―He belongs with his mother–at least until he's older.‖ She gasped in relief, closing her eyes briefly. There would be time to worry about the until he’s older part of his assurance later. ―Thank you, Adar.‖ ―He belongs with you, but I’ll need you to be honest with him about who his sire is.‖ She nodded. ―While I’ll allow you and Daylon to rear him, you should know that I’m determined to be part of his life. As a foaling reared in a shifter world, he’ll face unique challenges.‖ She bit her lip. She hadn’t considered that aspect of having a foaling. How would Daylon react to an agreement that allowed Adar frequent access to her and the foaling? Although uncertain of the possible consequences she’ll set in motion, she knew Adar’s requests were reasonable. He’d always been honorable and wasn’t asking for anything more than he deserved. She thought it impolitic to mention the slim possibility that their foaling would be female since Stallions mating with humanoids nearly always sired males. But what if she bore a female sexual empath who possessed the ability to shift into a Centaurides Mare? Such a child could help repopulate the Centaurian Stallion ranks. Or what if their foaling grew up to be a Centaurian Stallion with the ability to determine with whom his seed found its mark? Either gender foal could help ensure his or her father’s people didn’t become extinct. Tanari inhaled slowly in an effort to contain her mounting excitement. ―Of course he’ll know you’re his sire and he’ll spend time with you as well. We’ll have to ensure we let him know how very special he is.‖ ―And fortunate to have you bear him.‖ He caressed her belly before he dropped his hand to his side and sighed. ―It’s time I left and allowed you to get back to Daylon.‖ He paused. ―You are happy with him?‖ She nodded. ―Yes. Oh, yes.‖ ―Then I made the right decision when I lead you to him?‖ Part of her might always regret that Adar hadn’t wanted or needed her as much as Daylon apparently did. A much larger part wouldn’t trade her future with Daylon for anything. ―Yes.‖ ―Then I won’t keep you any longer.‖ He turned away. ―Adar!‖ She followed him. ―Don’t go yet. I need to hear about you. How are you?‖ He turned to face her, smiling.

He seemed happier than she could remember seeing him. ―Have you found your Mare?‖ ―Yes. I have and, like you, my foal is swelling her belly.‖ She laughed, gripping his hand. ―You’ll soon have two foals?‖ She caressed his face with her free hand. ―Oh, Adar, no one deserves it more than you. What’s her name? When can I meet her?‖ ―Her name is Jovicenta and she’s returned to her home on the far side of the Blue Desert.‖ ―Leaving you behind? Aren’t you…‖ ―There’s no need for worry on my account, Tarani. Mating was something we both needed and wanted to do, but we don’t value each other. We’ve agreed that when we’re driven to mate with reproduction in mind, we’ll do so with each other. We hope our mating will result in numerous foals but beyond that we have no particular interest in each other.‖ ―But you look so…content. I thought—‖ ―There is someone in my life who provides a large measure of joy.‖ ―Who?‖ She listened as he told her about Daria. ‖You don’t value her either?‖ ―Not in the way you do Daylon, but for now being with her gives me a large, overflowing measure of contentment.‖ ―Does she…‖ ―Value me?‖ He shook his head. ―Ours is an arrangement we both find pleasurable and expedient, but we both understand we’re not interested in a blood oath type commitment with each other. With two foals on the way and your future settled, I have no reason to be anything but content.‖ Then why did she detect a hint of worry along the remnants of their mental link? ―Are you sure?‖ He nodded. ―There’s nothing you need to concern yourself with, Tanari. I can take care of myself and if the need for assistance arises—― ―What? What would you do? There aren’t that many stallions to come to your aid.‖ ―No but there’s a large pack of shifters I can petition if the need arises.‖ ―There is? Who…oh, you mean Daylon?‖ He nodded. ―We are distant kin.‖ Knowing Adar didn’t need to face life in the desert alone removed some of her tension. ―Both handsome and noble.‖ ―And lucky to know you.‖ He caressed her cheek. ―Will you contact me when it’s time for you to give birth? I’d like to be there—if Daylon has no objections.‖ ―What if we both give birth at the same time?‖ ―Daylon has offered to provide transport if necessary. I want to be at both births.‖

She squeezed his hand. ―We’ll be happy to have you here when it’ time.‖ ―Are you sure he’ll share that viewpoint?‖ ―No,‖ she admitted. ―I’m not sure how he’ll feel but I’ll be happy to have you there. I’ll always be happy to see you, Adar. Always.‖ ―And I you. I’ll wait to hear from you when you’re ready to give birth. If you should need me before then, call me and no matter where I am, I’ll come.‖ She blinked back tears. ―I know. I know.‖ He caressed her cheek and left. The tears spilled down her cheeks. Daylon entered the room. She rushed forward, burrowing against him. He embraced her. ―I have you.‖ He kissed her hair. ―I’ll always have you, te’amora.‖ She clung to him, uncertain why she sobbed. Enough of the bond she and Adar had shared remained for her to know he was content and thankfully not pining for her. She was happy with Daylon and looked forward to a future filled with passion, affection, a special foaling, and many cubs. She had no reason to cry. ―It’s for the loss of the closeness you once shared.‖ She looked up at Daylon, Pleased by his insight and understanding. ―Yes. After my mother died, he and Nadia were my world. I still have her but not him in the same way.‖ ―No. Now you have me.‖ She nodded, linking her arms around his neck. ―Yes. I do.‖ She rubbed her cheek against his. ―Te’amous.‖ ―Te’amous, my sweet, beautiful, Tanari. Love me as I love you and we’ll share a long life filled with all the joy and passion one couple can bear. If you require more—‖ ―I don’t. As long as I have you, I have all I want or need. I do have you. Don’t I?‖ ―Yes, Tanari. You have me ad infinitum.‖ Ad Infinitum. It didn’t seem long enough but she’d make do. ―Te’amous, Daylon. Ad infinitum.‖ He picked her up and carried her to their bedchamber. Undressing them both, he slipped into bed with her. He held her, whispering softly and raining kisses against her hair. Life as his mate wouldn’t be easy. She would face challenges that would no doubt test her fortitude and feelings for him. As her pregnancy progressed so might her need to have the father of her child at her side. If that happened, she would have to trust that Daylon would understand the need was only temporary.

Despite the uncertainties the future held, she looked forward to it and to exploring the complexities of a relationship with the handsome Supreme Alpha shifter who could be as arrogant as he could be tender. As he often did, he seemed to be in touch with her most troubling thoughts and feelings. ―I’ll be here when you need me most, Tanari—even if and when you need me to step aside to allow Adar to be at your side during birth.‖ She shook her head. ―Oh, Daylon—― He pressed a finger against her lips. ―It will be his right and I’ll do my best to be gracious and understanding when you need it most.‖ Who knew a Denhari shifter could be so sensitive and understanding? Who knew one would fall so hard for her he was prepared to take her as his mate with the knowledge that she carried another male’s child? ―You have hidden depths, Daylon Adar.‖ He kissed her hair. ―What do you plan to do about it?‖ ―Explore them all—over and over again until there’s nothing fun or exciting left about you for me to discover.‖ ―And how long do you think that will take?‖ She yawned. ―I don’t know. Maybe one or two lifetimes.‖ He laughed and tightened his arms around her. ―I’ll do my best to bear with you, Tanari.‖ She dismissed a brief worry about the pack’s reaction to the discovery that she carried a foaling instead of Daylon’s cub. Her handsome Alpha was equal to the task of dealing with any possible fallout after she gave birth. ―That’s all I ask,‖ Daylon. Bear with me.‖ ―Always.‖ ―And be there should Adar need help.‖ ―If he does, the remaining Stallions will be at his command.‖ ―At his command? Why?‖ He arched a brow. ―You don’t know?‖ ―What?‖ ―Who he is?‖ ―He’s Kayden Adar, the noble Stallion who’s been my companion, friend, and protector for years.‖ ―He’s Kayden Adar, one of the last known surviving Stallions of the ruling line of Denhari’s Centaurian Stallions.‖ ―The ruling line? You mean he has royal blood?‖ ―Unless one of his older brothers is alive somewhere, he’s the Sovereign Centaurian Stallion on Denhari.‖

―But…he never gave any indication.‖ ―He was clearly severely injured when your father found him. He may or may not regain his full memory, but he’s remembered enough to know who he is. He thinks mating with the mare triggered the return of part of his memory.‖ ―So whoever injured him might still want to hurt him?‖ ―If they do, his stallions will defend him as will a portion of our pack. We will keep him safe, Tanari. Daria and I have hand–chosen several shifters to act as a guard until the remaining Stallions are prepared to assume responsibility for his safely.‖ ―Thank you, Daylon.‖ He touched her belly. ―Your foaling has royal blood, Tanari. His father must be protected.‖ Did she hear a hint of regret in his voice? She placed her hand over his on her stomach. ―This one is his but all the others will be yours, Daylon. And they’ll have royal blood also, my handsome Supreme Alpha.‖ ―I like the sound of that.‖ She smiled, comforted by the belief that she was safe and happy with a male who would cherish her for as long as they both lived. As his Alphia, she looked forward to a life filled with constant cocking, frequent knotting, and years of feeling his many cubs swell her belly again and again. What woman could ask for more from life than that?

Blue Desert Heat—Part One published by Marilyn Lee Unleashed http://www.marilynlee.org

An Excerpt from Song of Desire ©2009 Marilyn Lee All rights reserved Red Rose Publishing Prologue Soft moans, lusty gasps, and cries of encouragement roused him from a deep, dreamless sleep. He came awake to find himself lying on his back under the evening desert sun with his hands and ankles pulled apart, and bound to stakes driven into the desert sands.

Straddling his naked body, a tiny, nude blond with small breasts, thrust herself up and down the length of his cock, sobbing with pain each time she sat on him, driving his length deep into her tight, clinging channel. ―Oh!‖ The blonde moaned. ―It hurts. It hurts.‖ Even as she spoke, she lifted her slender hips until only the head of his cock remained within her body. Several voices answered her. ―Thrust down harder…‖ ―Force his entire cock into you!‖ ―Oh. You're bleeding! Keep going!‖ He turned his head and saw several naked women gathered around them in the desert, fingering themselves and calling out encouragement. One woman in particular, a tall blonde with dark eyes kept her gaze centered on his cock, as she thrust her fingers between her legs. ―Plunge down,‖ she ordered, her voice low and breathless. ―Take him inside you…all of him. Ride him. Plunge all the way down...force his weapon up into your body. Yes...and again!‖ He turned his head and looked down his body. He watched his long, thick, cock disappear into the tiny blonde's body as she lowered her hips until she sat on him again. ―Oooh!‖ She sobbed and shuddered. ―It hurts…so much.‖ Making soft sounds she lifted her head and began slamming herself down onto him, forcing his entire length deep into her tight body with each lunge. He lay under her, securely bound, feeling nothing as she rutted herself on his cock. How had he come to be here? Where was here? And more importantly, who was he? He had no memory of anything before the cries of the women gathered around woke him. Although uncertain who he was, he suspected that he did not belong in this desert. Nor should these women be using him for their pleasure. He tested the strength of his bounds and found them as unyielding as the pussy of the woman now riding him so gleefully. Her body tightened and convulsed around him, and he felt his cock being drenched with her juices and blood as she came. Moaning and gasping, she climbed off his cock and collapsed on the sands. The tall blonde walked over and squatted next to him. She closed her fingers around his cock and brought it to the entrance of her body. ―No,‖ he told her. ―Release me.‖ ―Release you? After I found and nursed you back to health? That is not our way. On Bluhari, the spoils go to the rescuer. You are mine to do with as I will. You look confused—as if you can’t even remember how devotedly I nursed you. My name is Mila. You and your exquisite body now belong to me.‖ With that, she thrust her hips downwards and forced his cock up into her body. She felt hot and tight, her pussy claiming his cock as if she owned it and him. There was a moment of certainty when he knew, even bound, he possessed the power to force her off him and to release himself. Yet, he lay bound and captive as she rode him, struggling to enjoy what was happening to him.

The woman above him moaned. ―By the Goddess, you have a mighty weapon, my handsome, rutter. So thick, hot, and hard...so delicious.‖ As she rode him, she caressed his body with eager hands. She laid her large breasts against his chest. He found himself staring up into her lust filled eyes. Her narrow, pink lips were but a breath away. Her gaze dropped down to his mouth. She licked her lips. He stiffened. ―Don’t attempt to kiss me.‖ She paused. ―The urge to taste your lips is unbearable. I must have a kiss or two,‖ she said. ―No!‖ He felt rage knotting in the pit of his stomach. ―Don’t kiss me!‖ He warned, making his voice low and menacing. His body tensed and he glared up at her, willing her not to touch her mouth to his. She shivered and pressed her lips against his cheek instead of his mouth. Certain she would not attempt to kiss him again, he closed his eyes, and tried to remember who he was as woman after woman mounted and satisfied herself on his cock. When the last woman climbed off him, he looked down. His cock was still erect and he still had not experienced a moment of satisfaction. He frowned. Whoever he was, did he have a different preference? The thought of mating with another male did not stir his passions, yet neither had any of these many women. He suspected he would have much to learn before he found a way out of his sexual servitude.
