But I also don’t know how long this will last before he cracks and runs, so for the moment, I’m going to take everything I can get.

We don’t stay in the cave for long, Eissa eventually pulling me to my feet and leading me outside.

‘How you feeling?’ he asks, his tail wrapped around my waist. The tip sneaks between the opening of my tunic in the front and rests against my bare skin.

‘Fine. You?’

He leans down, resting his forehead against mine, his eyes closing. My hand rests on his chest, and I feel his hearts beating, quick and hard.

‘I’m good. Would you like to go visit Sabik?’ he asks, and I nod. I didn’t expect him to take me to see him today, and my cock hardens at the thought of getting those herbs that make you come again and again.

Eissa must feel the lust coursing through me because he shudders. He knows what visiting the Tarek will mean for both of us.

The fact that he’s willing to consume part of me like that…it makes my heart flutter excitedly in my chest. I’m a little wary still, but the newness of it, the thought of watching him unguarded, makes me think that this entire thing will be worth it.

And even if it’s not, I’ll get to experience Eissa drinking his fill.

From me.

‘Yes. I want. Let’s go.’ I step forward, not sure where I’m going, but wanting to hurry. He tugs me back toward him, a smile on his face.

‘That is the wrong way. We must take a portal and then walk from there. It is too far to travel by foot.’

I nod and then step into him, feeling his hand wrap around me as the other produces a portal key.

Seconds later, we’re stepping through it, and I blink, the dizziness and pressure in my ears dissipating faster than last time. I must be getting used to portal travel. When I open my eyes, I see that we’re in a different part of Erethar. It is colorful in the same way the space around Eissa’s cottage is, but muted in a dreary kind of way. I glance at the long grass and the tops of what I think are huts in the distance, smoke billowing up from fires.

‘Come,’ Eissa says, holding out his arms. I stare at him.

‘What do you want me to do?’

‘I will carry you.’

That makes me snort a laugh. ‘What? No. I can walk.’

‘It is far, and we will move faster if I can carry you.’

I make a face, but something about wrapping my legs around him, about having my body pressed against his makes me eager to do it. So, I step into his arms, and his tail and hands lift me up, settling me against his chest.

My legs wrap around his back, my arms around his neck.

Just as I suspected, my cock is hard, brushing against his abdomen. I feel the flutter of his skin against it, and his eyes meet mine.

‘We must wait.’

I lean forward and tuck my face into his neck, kissing along his throat, making his hands tighten around me.

Behave.

I let out a soft laugh and feel something pulse through me, something just beneath the lust and need.

Happiness.

Eissa must feel it too because he softens, nuzzling me for a long moment before shifting me in his arms and taking off.

His clawed feet dig into the ground beneath him as he runs, forcing my thoughts from the two of us rolling around somewhere, our bodies sliding against each other, wet and hot, to how strong he is, how fast. I hold on tighter, letting out a loud laugh at the feeling of moving so quickly through the long grass that seems to grab at my feet.

Everything blurs by as he moves, almost too fast for me to really get a look at the land before us. All I can make out are the moons shining down on us and the glowing plants twinkling at the edge of the forest.
