Ecstasy. It became my everything.
When the spurts of his seed finally came to an end, my body began to calm, just the slightest bit. We stayed hooked together for a long time, until eventually, the suction left my clit and the tendrils holding his cock in place inside my pussy receded. I opened my eyes then and saw a look of serene calm pass over him.
I almost cried when he pulled free of me. Whether in shame, sadness that his cock no longer connected to my body, or in exhaustion, I’d never know.
He collapsed next to me and pulled me close.
My eyes fluttered closed once again and I knew no more, my fatigue finally catching up to me.
I didn’t even dream that night. I knew nothing beyond the blackness that consumed me.
Chapter Three
Axel
I woke the next morning with the strange girl by my side.
What the hell? I blinked, taking a long moment in order to try to remember what happened. With a deep sigh, I began to remember the night before.
Momentary flashes of Saleos. Of the way he’d massacred some of the only humans left in the compound. Of her fucking delicious scent. Of her stepping toward me. It all came back, slowly and surely until I realized what I had done with a numb sort of horror.
I realized I’d lost control. I’d mounted her against her will and I didn’t even know her name. I’d rutted her like a goddamn animal. Held her down and forced my cock deep between her legs and in her ass. I’d taken her without her consent.
For a long moment, I just stared at her. She trembled slightly, and I realized she must be cold, so I turned back to the fire pit, feeling at a loss.
I quietly rekindled the flames and hung my head, wiping my palm down my face, trying to figure out what to do next. I looked down on her naked body, saw where my fingers had held her down, where they were likely to bruise as the day progressed, and sighed.
How could I have lost it so completely?
The fight with Saleos had left me at a place with no control whatsoever. My epinephrine levels had surged higher than ever before, and I’d been unable to stop my baser instincts. I knew how it worked. I’d had the science explained to me a number of times. My hormones surged at any hint of a threat and a fight like that with Saleos had made them much higher than usual.
Usually I could keep control of my instincts. I could keep my mental faculties about me, but what Saleos had done, the massacre, the chaos, him trying to hurt yet another innocent woman had nearly driven me mad with rage. I’d wanted to kill him. And seeing her body, completely bare like that still had my cock hardening in excitement, even now. I’d never been around a naked woman in that state either and that had put me over the edge.
I remember how she smelled last night. How her dark blue eyes had looked at me with insatiable curiosity and a lust she probably didn’t even know she had. I remembered her scent, the way I could smell her arousal on the air when she moved. Her essence had been sweet, like peaches and berries and it had driven me wild with need. I had kept it under control, at least until she started moving toward me.
I’d warned her not to come closer. I
’d warned her of what would happen, and I had tried my best to quell the beast, even as she moved closer, but even so, she’d been no match for me. The animal inside me had needed to take her and I had been powerless to resist. The beast within me had needed her to spread her legs and I’d taken what I needed. Every last inch of it.
Her hair was a beautiful burgundy red and just seeing it made me want to run my fingers through it. Her pale skin was dotted with freckles and I ached to run my fingers along its soft surface. Her body was delightfully curvy, her breasts perky and big enough to fill each one of my palms. Just looking at her ass again made me want to fuck her, sweet and slow just like she deserved. Not like what I had done last night.
I shook my head.
She probably hated me. Probably thought I raped her. Probably even thought I was going to kill her.
I saw evidence of my seed drying on her skin, of the marks on her ass where I’d slapped her.
I’d used her, and I’d used her hard. I swallowed. Ashamed.
She sighed softly and at once, I felt the incredible need to care for her. To make sure she was safe and unhurt. She was human though and she had needs. She required nourishment. Water, food, whatever I could find to give her. I’d focus on that first.
She’d need to eat and drink right away. My eyes wandered up and down her body, looking for obvious injuries that I’d missed before.
It was then that I noticed the dried streaks of blood up and down her legs, all across her belly, and scattered about her arms. Everywhere. Upon a quick visual inspection, she didn’t appear to have any obvious injuries, but I’d have to clean and examine her more thoroughly. I didn’t think I had done that kind of damage to her myself, but I’d have to make sure. I wouldn’t ever forgive myself if I had.
I didn’t know what Saleos had done to her before I tore her away from him.
I did know he’d left a massacre in his wake. I knew the entire room had been bloody, that no human in the compound was left alive. He’d fucking killed them all. My fear for her rose by the second.
