Aww, my kraken mate is so sweet, though I’m not sure if meeting his parents for the first time when I’m about to drain all eight of his limbs of cum is quite the first impression I’d like to make, but I guess this is normal for them. “I’d love to,” I reply, which seems to be the right answer, because he beams and hugs me tight.
“Thank you. You have no idea how happy this makes me.”
“Lila!” I startle out of my memories to find Xavier frowning with concern directly in front of me.
“Are you okay,phoeall?” He reaches out and pushes a stray wisp of hair off my face.
“Yeah, sorry, I was lost in my thoughts. Damn pregnancy brain is making me foggy.”
He chuckles. “I’m not sure you can blame the pregnancy before you actually activate it.”
I place a finger over his mouth, shushing him. “I can, and I will, and you will not say anything.”
He grins behind my finger but nods his agreement. “How did things go with your harem? Are they all packed to leave?” I can’t wait to see the back of them. It will be a huge relief to have one less group gunning for me.
He winces. “Nambra and Lexus begged me to return their powers, but I can’t be seen as soft. No one would respect me,” he says like he’s trying to justify his actions, but he’s barking up the wrong tree.
“Please, those bitches conspired to get rid of me, so they deserve everything they get. I hope they end up at some dead-end job on the far side of the galaxy where they actually have to work to earn money.”
“Neither of them actually has any skills apart from the ones on their backs, so they will probably both end up in a brothel somewhere. At least they have some talents in that respect, but neither of them has healing abilities, so the variety of aliens they’ll be able to service is limited now too.” It still surprises me how everyone is so blasé about sex compared to how taboo it is on a majority of Earth.
I couldn’t think of any better revenge on them than that, and it makes me immensely happy. “And the others?” I ask, unsure how the rest of his harem felt about being dismissed.
“I’ve given them all excellent references, and all but Topirey have gone into a pool of candidates for people who are forming new harems. They will get snapped up. It’s prestigious to have the Crown Prince of Westalin’s harem castoffs.”
I roll my eyes at his overinflated ego. I mean, sure, he has the power to back it up, but it doesn’t hurt to have his ego taken down a peg. “Let’s just hope they don’t find someone who’s better in the sack than you. We wouldn’t want the Crown Prince of Westalin’s sexual prowess to be called into question.” His chest visibly deflates, and his eyes squint with worry before he starts muttering.
“There is no chance they’ll find someone better in bed than me. My power enhances the whole experience.”
“So you’re saying you’re only good at giving orgasms because of how powerful you are, and not because you actually know what you’re doing?”
“What?” He gapes at me, speechless with shock. “Of course not.”
It’s all I can do to smother the smile that threatens to break free.
“I should have just killed them all,” he mutters under his breath, and I’m not surprised that he considers mass genocide an option to protect his reputation.
“Settle down, I’m sure they will never find anyone better than you.”
“No, you’re right, I have nothing to worry about,” he agrees quickly.
“So what is Topirey doing?” I ask, changing the subject. Otherwise, he might be obsessing over it the whole day, or worse, actually go and kill them before they can catch a transport to Westalin.
“Oh, he has decided he would like to vacation on Earth for a while and will catch a lift when we return.”
I do a double take. “Topirey, the tree man who looks like Groot? There’s no way he can pass for anything human.”
“No, you’re right, he can’t, but he has a couple of friends who will offer him sanctuary, and as his severance pay, he asked for me to create a glamour charm for him to wear. It will give him a human glamour. I have to say, I completely outdid myself. It is totally seamless. He could have sex in his glamour, and nobody would know he was anything but human.”
“How does he have sex in his natural form?” I ask, unable to hide my curiosity. I mean, with the stingray dude, I could work things out mostly by myself with a little creative thinking, but the stick man and insect man really have me scratching my head. I’m dying for a little alien sex ed.
To my surprise, Xavier’s lavender cheeks darken as a blush heats them.
“Come on. Seriously? You can’t be shy. I thought you’d be happy to give me a play-by-play of how the two of you fucked.” I squirm on my seat, thinking about Xavier and Saxon. Then my thoughts go to Xavier and someone else, and my kraken roars in my mind, thrashing to get through and attack the tree man. Xavier opens his mouth, but I place a hand over it again. “Actually, scratch that. Don’t tell me. I’m likely to shift and bite his head off. My kraken insists he will be tasty.”
Xavier blinks once, twice, and nods shortly, and then I remove my hand.
“Let’s never discuss previous partners, okay?”
