“What does the point do?” Nora slid her hand up his cock and explored the head. She found that the pointed end was somewhat flexible—not hard or sharp at all, as she had feared. It didn’t seem to hurt the big Kindred when she pressed against it either.
“The point slips into the mouth of your womb to fill you with my seed,” he growled. But of course, that can’t happen until my knot is inside you.”
“Your knot? Is this it?” She slid her hands down and began caressing the swelling at the base of his shaft.
“Yes.” Xarex groaned again and shifted his hips, pumping up into her hands. “Gods! That’s from my Beast Kindred heritage,” he explained in a strained voice. “And don’t worry—if I spend enough time between your thighs, tasting you, the compounds in my mouth will help you open for me—even for the knot.”
Nora wasn’t sure if she wanted to put that to the test. But luckily she didn’t have to worry about it just yet. She went back to stroking him with both hands, sliding up and down from the flaring knot to the pointed tip and back again.
But though her new husband gasped her name and pumped into her hands, he still hadn’t come.
Deciding to change things up, Nora reached between his legs and cupped his heavy balls in one hand as she continued to work him with the other.
The change was immediate. He stiffened and reached down to grab her wrist at once.
“Don’t!” His deep voice was hoarse and strained.
Nora stopped touching him at once and pulled her hands away—or tried. He still gripped one wrist firmly. He wasn’t hurting her, but there was no way she could get loose either.
“What—?” she began but he shook his head. His eyes were closed and there was a tense expression on his face, as though he was fighting some internal conflict.
“A moment. Give me some time,” he ground out, his jaw clenched in concentration.
Nora stood there, her heart pounding, wondering if she’d done something wrong. Had she offended him somehow? Or hurt him?
At last, Xarex opened his eyes and she saw that they had changed from silver to hot, molten gold.
“Forgive me,” he said and this time his voice was a low, animalistic growl. “The extra pleasure was too much for my W’rx side. I am fighting to subdue it.”
“Can you let me go?” Nora asked and heard the tremble in her own voice. “You’re scaring me.”
“I’m trying not to…take you…without consent,” he growled. “Just one more moment.”
He closed his eyes again and Nora’s heart was hammering against her ribs. Did he mean he was trying not to rape her? She was suddenly extremely aware of how much bigger and stronger her new husband was than her. He could break her in half with one hand if he wanted to!
But a moment later, Xarex’s eyes opened and the strange gold color was gone—they had gone back to silver.
“Forgive me,” he said again and released her wrist. “It’s just…very difficult when I’ve wanted you for so long. The W’rx half of my DNA calls to me to take you but I won’t—I swear it. Not until you’re ready.”
The sincerity in his eyes made Nora believe that he meant it. But for now, she just wanted to get out of the shower.
“I think we’re both clean enough now,” she said. “Do you think it’s time to get out?”
“Yes.” He nodded and reached to turn off the water. “Let’s get ready for bed. We have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow.”
They got out of the shower and dried off in silence but Nora couldn’t help thinking that she had a thousand questions to ask…and wondering if it was safe to ask them.

NORA
“Is the, uh, W’rx part of you the other half of your DNA? I mean, besides the Kindred half?” Nora asked, once both of them were dried off and dressed for bed. Xarex was wearing a pair of long black sleep trousers but his muscular chest was bare.
As for her, she was wearing a little white nighty set that Kat had gifted her for her honeymoon. The short little nightdress barely came down to her thighs and the thin material was nearly see-through, which showed the tight points of her nipples clearly. The panties that went with it had a slit down the middle—apparently for easy access.
Nora felt a little shy in such a revealing outfit, but of course she’d been naked with her new husband in the shower, so she supposed it wasn’t a big deal.
“Yes, I am half Beast Kindred and half W’rx,” he rumbled as he got into the huge, Kindred-sized bed. “The W’rx are a savage people,” he added. “They tie their females down and take them by force—it’s part of their mating ritual.”
