TSCHENKAR
Iwoke up with my eyes closed.
I hadn’t realized it before this moment, but my entire existence had been a fucking storm. It had been one of those storms human sailors had talked about, the kind that was always threatening to capsize the primitive water ship, the kind of storm where every human on board had to hold on for dear life, and I’d been holding tight the whole fucking time without even knowing it.
And finally, for the first moment in my life, I felt like I could let go. Like I couldrestmy hands.
I opened my eyes. Eve was facing Thuliak, who still was sleeping, but her arse? Her arse was pressed up against my cock, and my cock was already hard.
I writhed a bit, letting my cock run between her asscheeks, and then the tip touched against her pussy lips, which were nice and wet for me.
She moaned and moved her ass up against me. I grabbed hold of her by the waist and pulled her up against my body, tearing her from Thuliak’s grasp.
That woke the bastard up.
He narrowed those teal eyes at me even as she moaned hungrily for my big purple cock. I vibrated it against her pussy, imagining the way her eyes would roll back into her head in pleasure as she looked at Thuliak.
Just as I was about to mount her and fill her pussy full of cum again, right in front of Thuliak, the Hivemind pinged us with something urgent.
Even as Eve rubbed herself up on my cock, Thuliak and I locked eyes. With the greatest reluctance I’d ever felt, I slid away from Eve’s warmth, and I tightened my grip back on that metaphorical human water ship, because another fucking crisis that demanded a Scion’s attention—two Scions’ attention—had interrupted what could have been a very productive morning for making cum and making babies.
“What is it?” Eve asked.
I let the ping from the Hivemind fill my brain, and in a few moments I understood the full magnitude of the situation.
“The Hivemind has lost contact with Eden,” Thuliak said.
I glared at him. He couldn’t have softened that blow for her? Not even a little bit. “Nothing to worry your pretty little head over, Love,” I said, managing to sound a lot smoother and confident than I felt, “it’s probably a glitch.”
“The Hivemind does not glitch,” Thuliak said.
Since facial expressions weren’t conveying what I wanted to say, I shot him a thought directly through the Hivemind.
Don’t make her worry before there’s a real reason to worry. Were you looking forward to seeing me pump her full while she looked right into your big serious eyes?
He rolled his eyes at me.Anything that gets us our babies. And there is reason to worry. We both know the Hivemind doesn’t glitch. Something is very wrong.
Yes, he was probably right. I didn’t like to admit that, so I chose not to admit it to him. Instead, I spoke aloud again so that Eve wouldn’t feel out of the loop. “I’m going to the surface. Eve, you’re with me.”
Thuliak growled. “You will not bring her into a dangerous situation!”
I met his eyes. We’d both spilled our seed into her last night. He’d had her alone, and now that we’d claimed her together, it was my turn with her alone. This was the way of things. It had always been this way. Not even a crisis should interrupt that.
“She’s mine until she’s pregnant. And I say she’s coming with me. And I mean that in both meanings of the word.” I laughed, shooting Eve a cocky smirk. She blushed, which made my cock hard as diamonds. Even Thuliak looked down and stared at it.
“What can I say,” I said, pointing at my cock, “I’m ready to knock her up. All the more reason she has to come to Eden with me. You said you wanted your babies, didn’t you, Brother?”
“You don’t have to go down to Eden, Tschenkar,” Thuliak said. “I should be the one to go.”
I smirked at Thuliak, because we both knew he couldn’t go down. He was First. Normally thatwouldmean he’d go down to the surface before me, but since he was the big man in charge, he couldn’t risk severing contact with the Hivemind. He couldn’t coordinate the Breeding Pack without the Hivemind. He had to stay off the surface, which is where the glitch had happened.
And I had to go down, because I was less important. But if I was going down, then so was my woman. End of story.
“I could send Eriok,” Thuliak said.
“You could. Though his pack isn’t used to this system yet. Those gold-skinned fucks would probably cum the moment they set eyes on a human woman. My men have had a lot more time to get their balls under control.”
