In my bliss, I didn’t notice as Tallulah’s hands moved up the sides of my face, sliding into my hair. No. It was only when her thumbs brushed the stumps where my horns had failed to grow that I realized what was going on.

We froze at the same time, breaking apart. Tallulah’s eyes grew wide in the darkness as she slowly moved her hands back down to rest on my shoulders.

“Sorry,” Tallulah said awkwardly. She must have assumed that there was nothing beneath my hair in the way that human heads were entirely smooth.

“Don’t worry about it,” I mumbled, distracting her by kneading at the tight muscles in her back with my thumb knuckles.

“Oh, that feels so nice,” she moaned, arching her back at my touch. “You’re so good at that.”

I tugged her dress up a little with each movement until my claws were catching on the delicate fabric of the panties stretched tight across her exquisite ass.

I’d wanted to distract her from the disaster that was my horns, to get her back to enjoying each other, and it appeared to be working.

But there was no pretending anymore. Tallulah knew exactly how broken I was.

Chapter 4

It was deeply unfair that Evrin’s hands could feel this good, that his tongue could feel this good, that his body felt like it was meant to wrap around mine, but he wasn’t mine and I couldn’t keep him.

I mean, this was better than nothing, but with each kneading grasp of his hands on my ass, I was acutely aware that I was on the fast track to get my heart broken.

The sex might be worth it, though.

I sat back, carefully unzipping my dress and pulling it over my head with as much grace as I could manage.

“I want you all the way naked this time,” Evrin growled, gently lifting me off him so I could undress. How good could Shades see in the dark? I felt like he wasn’t getting my best angles lying prone on the ground while I yanked my panties off.

But the way Evrin grabbed me and pulled me back onto him like he was missing me already made me forget all about it.

I was dripping slick and immediately sought the friction I was craving, grinding my clit down on his hard length. Free from the tight confines of my bra, my breasts swung forward, and with a growl that rumbled all the way down to my toes, Evrin grabbed them, leaning up to toy with my nipples using his rough tongue.

This angle would be tricky if he had horns, I thought absently. Depending on the shape of them, there was a good chance he’d be impaling me in the throat right now.

I had no idea why Evrin didn’t have horns, and I felt bad that I’d inadvertently drawn attention to something he was clearly self-conscious about, but his lack of them didn’t bother me at all.

I gasped at the dual sensation of pricking claws and scraping teeth on my delicate flesh, coating Evrin in another gush of slick.

“Sit your cunt on my face, Tallulah.”

I nearly fainted.

“I’ll crush you—”

He didn’t even let me finish making my excuses. He simply grabbed me by my hips and hauled me up his body until my knees straddled his head.

Another no-horns perk.

In the end, I didn’t really need to lower myself enough to worry about crushing him, because Evrin’s tongue was so long that he had no problem getting exactly where he needed to go.

I cupped my breasts, my hair tickling the middle of my spine as I tipped my head back, shamelessly grinding on Evrin’s tongue like I owned it. The darkness helped, but mostly, it was just Evrin. There was just something about him that made me feel ridiculously at ease with myself.

The rough, insistent pressure of his tongue combined with the angle had me reaching my peak in an embarrassingly short amount of time. While I’d mostly gotten over my self-consciousness about the position we were in, it flared back to life in full force as I drenched Evrin’s chin in slick, and I immediately climbed off him, shifting down his body on my knees.

“Are you okay—”

“I want you to do that several more times. But right now, I need to be inside you.”

Sounded like a plan to me.
