I swallow, trying to moisten my parched throat and corral my thoughts back into some semblance of order. But I’m exhausted, and the way he smells, the ease with which he’s holding me, the heat of his smooth magenta skin are all making it impossible to focus. “I’m not a gift,” I mumble, wishing I had the strength to regain some of my earlier outrage at my predicament. “I’m a person. A human being. Not some inanimate object—or even a pet.”
He lifts a single eyebrow. “Pet?” Oddly, the word sounds just like it does in English.
“Yeah… an animal—usually domesticated—that you keep at home. For companionship. People sometimes give them as gifts, although they should only do that when the recipient wants one and has the means and time to devote to it. To look after it properly.” Am I giving a demon a lecture on animal welfare right now? While his cum is still oozing out of me in thick rivulets? A sudden flush of shame makes my face hot but I can’t tear my eyes away from his intense gaze.
His lips curve in a delighted grin, revealing an unexpected dimple in his left cheek. “I want you,” he says. “Pet. Like Plutus. I’ll look after you.”
I’m about to protest again, to demand that he puts me down and releases me, but then I weigh my options. It’s highly unlikely that he would let me go without a fight. And if he did? What then? Where would I go? Alkarvi and his acolytes would drag me back to him, or maybe decide to offer me up to some other monster to appease Ulf or some other higher power. So I’d wander around aimlessly on this alien planet, butt naked from the waist down, vulnerable to heck knows what kinds of danger, liable to get killed and eaten, or starve to death if I don’t manage to find someone who will help me…
Or… I could go with the demon currently holding me. Of course, I barely know him, but surely if he was going to kill and eat me, he’d have done that already? Another wave of his delicious scent floods my senses and makes my clit tingle. If I go with him, I could get something to drink, maybe some food, a bath…
And if I’m completely honest with myself, it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if he wanted to fuck me again. Just the thought makes me shudder with longing.
“Renee,” he rasps in that dark, gravelly voice. “Mine.” He clutches me to his strong chest and his wings unfurl with a powerful snap. His body tenses and, with a leap and a great whooshing sound that blows my hair off my face, we’re airborne. My belly lurches as we ascend.
The black and barren land falls away. Up here, the air is deliciously cool. We’re gliding over the lake of fire, over patches of the lava that have dried to a dark crust, and the angry orange seams that roil and surge.
I should be terrified but I feel weirdly secure in his arms, even when a single slip-up on his part would mean my instant death. With no other option, I press my face against his scalding chest and close my eyes, forcing myself to accept what I cannot change, as my therapist used to say.
The demon is taking me home.
At least things can’t get any weirder.

Krav
For the first time since I can remember, I am experiencing something I never have before—something I never thought I would. I’m in rut.
Ulf only knows how the Stone King managed it, but he wrought a miracle: there is a living, breathing, female Omega in my arms.
And she is a beauty.
I didn’t believe my jynx was telling the truth until I was almost upon her. Until her scent hit me and I lost control. I never intended to take her right there, up against the cex tree, but I couldn’t stop myself.
Another brand new experience. I pride myself on my self-control.
But her wild mane of hair—red blended with glinting gold, like a Pyredii fire-stone—her translucent skin, her bare, round thighs and generous, heaving breasts combined with the most heady aroma of leeberries, talliox flowers, and musk to make my senses reel. In that moment, I had to fuck her. Nothing else mattered.
It was the quickest, clumsiest coupling of my life but also easily the best.
So far.
Now I am taking her home, where I will seduce her properly. Show her how I prefer to pleasure a female. And how she can pleasure me.
Ulf, but her cunt felt good fluttering around my cock. Just the memory is enough to make me hard again.
I clutch her tighter to my chest as we approach my castle. Luckily for her, she did not resist coming with me beyond that single feeble protest. I would not have enjoyed forcibly bending her to my will so soon after meeting, but I would have done it.
