“I don’t know what will happen since it has never been done before, but I was told it would mean that you would always be safe... and with me.”
They may not desire me. They may not like Orpheus’ touch, may not allow him to lick their neck – especially right behind the ear. They may not give him the sweet little cry she made, one that was broken and deep of breath.
wish to know more about this. If there are humans that are willing to be our companions, ones that do not make us hungry, then I would like one.”
She knew the reality of the situation, that she was in danger, but the ache in her chest told her the truth of how she felt. I missed him.
Reia was turned on by what he’d done before. She’d gotten a taste of him primal, uncontrolled, and she’d fucking liked it.
He’s a Duskwalker and I’m a human. We don’t belong together. She couldn’t be his friend, his companion. She didn’t want to be his bride. He’s a monster. I can’t have feelings for a monster.
“You said there is honey within these.” He held up the beehive he had in his hand where a few bees were still persistent in fighting for their nest. “And that you wanted it.”
Cute
She is mine. I want her to be my bride. He didn’t want another human. He wanted Reia, his little doe, his brave human who gave him hope in her strength and her desire.
“If it were possible, wouldn’t you have wished for someone to give you the answers you needed? For someone to help you so you didn’t have to lose them?”
“Of course, but then I wouldn’t have you.”
She has dreamt of my cock. He didn’t need anything else. Her lack of response was enough for him to know.
What if I had sex with Orpheus? She wanted to. She dreamt of it, thought of it when he touched her, ached for it.
Mine, he internally growled to himself. He wanted this forever. He wanted to keep her eternally, to embrace her like this. To touch her, tease her, care for her, make her moan, but also make her laugh and smile.
“I like you, Reia. You are special and different to every human I have brought here. You want my touch, let me hold you because you want it. You are beautiful, and strong, and brave enough to face me, even when I am crazed. You protected me when all the others would have let me be eaten. I do not want you to go away. I don’t want another human if you disappear.”
My little doe will not be prey for anyone but me. And he was the predator that wanted to protect his prey rather than eat it. If she wants me to save her, then I will fight for her, even if it kills me.
“Don’t think because you like him that you’re special. You’re nothing but my poor replacement. He has always longed for me, wanted me. He’s mine, he’s always been mine.”
I knew it lol
Reia was his, in body and in heart. All that was left was her soul.
He is my anchor. Orpheus had tied her soul to him, literally.
“You are so perfect, my bride.” He leaned forward and bumped the tip of his snout against her cheek affectionately.
“And you are wonderful, my big, beautiful Duskwalker.” “Beautiful?” He reared his head back as dark yellow seeped into his orbs. He lifted his hand to touch at the wolfish skull of his face. “You
are beautiful, Reia. I look like a monster.”
“Why are you even helping him? What’s in this for you?”
“Can a mother not care for her child?”
“I give birth to nothing, and the first human they eat dictates their gender, like with Demons.”
Okay, so maybe she shouldn’t have told him since he now was very set on the idea. She hadn’t expected him to be so wanting of a child. What would it even look like?
The Witch Owl had said she should be careful if she didn’t want to birth darkness, so would it be like Orpheus? A Duskwalker?
She will always be with me. He once wondered what would happen if a human gave him their soul and they abandoned him by running away. How could they always be with him if they left even after giving him their soul?
