Sol jerked in surprise as the growling voice sounded in his head.
Scowling, he sent a glare to the top of Myre’s furry head, right between his silky black ears.
Laughter sounded in his head and he scowled even more fiercely.
Dragon knight, I understand your concerns but you have nothing to fear from me. Should you harm or attempt harm to any of my clan, however… The threat was left open-ended, and Sol sneered, ignoring the dart of fear. This was not their world, and judging by the size of the inhabitants, they were the smallest of the small. Even the insects were bigger than they were!
Sol rarely felt insignificant, his ego far too healthy to ever feel that way. Here, for the first time he realised he may not have all the answers and may not be able to protect Max should things go badly.
Dragon, your clan are no threat to me and my clan. Your king has great courage, despite his puny size.
Sol snorted at this, since while Max was definitely the smallest, he was by no means puny. His frame was leanly muscular, his abs ripped and his arms strong. Sol imagined other parts of Max’s body. The nicely plump cock which hung between his thighs had Sol’s mouth-watering, since it was long and thick and tasted delicious.
Knave! I can really do without the graphic imagery there! I am a happily mated feline with eight fine offspring. I have no need to be presented with pictures of another male’s cock…however thick and delicious!
Sol blushed furiously then scowled again.
“Perhaps if you would be so kind as to stop invading my thoughts, you would not have to suffer images of Max’s beautiful cock!”
There was dead silence for a full second before Myre began literally roaring with laughter. All of the knights and Max were staring at Sol, who belatedly realised he had uttered the sentence aloud.
“Beautiful cock, is it? Our esteemed alpha appears to be daydreaming!” Shimmer gave Sol a wide grin, orange eyes glinting like flames.
Max chuckled, then winked at his alpha knave. “Well, it’s nice to know I’m appreciated…or parts of me anyway!”
More laughter followed, before a barrage of teasing at Sol’s expense. Trying to defend himself, Sol finally gave up and laughed along with them.
“Myre, quit teasing my mate!” Max scolded the big cat who didn’t seem the least bit phased. Why should he? He was top predator here. Who would have thought a cat would outgrow a dragon? Huh!
The teasing continued until they saw the trees begin to thin, leading to a large meadow with grass as tall as Max. Padding lithely along, Myre moved along a narrow trail, his massive head easily clearing the tips of the grass stems.
On the other side of the meadow, a tunnel opened up, disappearing underground. Myre gave no warning as he dropped his shoulders and head, lifted his hindquarters and tipped his passengers all off onto the dusty ground at the tunnel’s entrance.
Squealing, Max rolled to the ground, landing on his back then squealing some more as the others piled on top.
Myre, of course, was highly entertained as he sank back on his haunches, licking one large paw lazily, his long black tail flicking from side to side. His sapphire eyes sparkled as he sat there watching as his erstwhile passengers unscrambled themselves and got to their feet. Everyone glared at Myre, who gave a sniff of disdain before gesturing with his head into the tunnel.
The group exchanged glances, since the tunnel was very dark and relatively small.
Well, really. I suppose you expect me to go first? Myre’s haughty amusement sounded in everyone’s head before with a sudden shiver he transformed from a gigantic feline into a humanoid form.
He was still enormous, towering over everyone by at least three feet, but at least in this guise he was slightly less intimidating.
Max studied the long roping muscles of the man’s arms and legs. The ridges of the alpha’s abs were deeply defined and his shoulders stretched forever. The thickly muscled chest sported a pair of dark-hued nipples, almost hidden beneath a sprinkling of black fur which covered his entire frame. Sharp claws sprung from large hands and a long black tail twitched back and forth, sprouting from the base of Myre’s spine like a furry python. Naked, the man clearly was not embarrassed by the fact. He stood proudly before the group, the heavy slab of meat between his thighs in perfect proportion to the rest of him, as was the large ball sac swinging beneath.
Max licked his lips, flushing as he saw the knowing amusement on the man’s face.
“Shall we?” Myre flicked the thick swathe of black hair over his shoulder before turning away and disappearing down the tunnel. For a second, the knights and Max simply stared, mesmerised by the play of muscles in Myre’s tight butt cheeks.
Shaking his head, Max snapped out of his lusty thoughts and set off to follow.
Immediately, Sol gripped his arm, sending Indigo and Raven in first. Max and Sol followed, then Ochre, Jayde, and Shimmer.
“Max, we don’t know what to expect. I don’t want you getting hurt.” Sol whispered softly as Max pouted at being restrained.
Max’s expression softened, and he gave Sol a swift peck on the cheek. “I love you, Sol.”
Sol gave him a hug, then a searing kiss before swinging a heavy arm across Max’s shoulders. They set off, wondering what was in store next.
* * * *
Max tumbled into Raven’s broad back. The large dragon knave didn’t even stagger, but Max bounced off the living wall of muscle. Without Sol grabbing him, he would have fallen in a heap on his butt.
“Raven! What are you…?” Max cut himself off mid-sentence, blinking in disbelief.
The tunnel had been long, narrow and only just big enough for everyone to walk upright. Max quite understood why Myre had shifted to humanoid form, since in his feline form he would have barely got his head in the entrance.
Ahead was a city. Underground. The tunnel had meandered downwards at a shallow angle. A series of steps and ramps led even further beneath the surface until, without warning, they came out on a wide balcony overlooking a vast township.
As far as the eye could see, large buildings towered. Spires, skyscrapers, and smaller dwellings were arrayed across the skyline in a sea of alien architecture, which was stunning in its simplistic beauty.
Most of the buildings were constructed of a pale blue stone unknown to Max. It was a mystery where the light source emanated from. There was certainly no sunlight down here, yet the place was well lit, albeit a softer glow than above on the surface. .
There were virtually no trees here, no bugs, and no giant slugs. A mixture of feline and bipeds moved around on foot. Walkways intersected each section of buildings, both on ground level and higher up. Scurrying to and fro were shuttles which flew all over the place. It was almost like a space port, except Max had never known such a place to be underground.
Max felt a little ashamed of himself. He had judged Myre on the basis of the primitive nature of the inhabitants above—bugs, slugs, and panthers. He had been expecting a row of huts or caves or something. Certainly not such a sophisticated suburban vista to rival any to be found on Vexxillon.
“You are to be taken to your new quarters where you can freshen up. We have a council meeting planned in a couple of hours which we will be expecting you to attend, Max. If the rest of your knaves wish to attend, that will be fine. Otherwise, I will have someone sent for you. Hop aboard the shuttle, I shall meet up with you later.” Myre quickly shifted into feline form again. With a quick nod at Max and Sol, he loped off with the lithe grace only a feline could manage.
As they stood there, a shuttle appeared before them. Fairly large, it was big enough to accommodate all seven of them, so Max hopped aboard first as soon as the doors opened.
For the first time since his father had been killed, he felt a spark of excitement. He was eager to explore this alien culture. As a student of other worlds’ customs, he couldn’t wait to find out all he could about this one. He had certainly not forgotten that his entire world had recently collapsed aroun
d him—literally. For right now, however, he desperately needed to hold onto something positive.
He sent a silent message to Myre, thanking him for his assistance. The alpha sounded amused as he replied, urging Max to get some rest since the council would be very interested to hear all about Max and his knaves.
The shuttle sped off across the city. After zipping along at quite a pace, it wasn’t long before they were landing again. They eased up to another wide balcony, the doors opened, and they all exited carefully. Everything seemed to be automated here. As soon as they disembarked, the craft zipped away again. Through an archway, another door swung open, and Raven walked cautiously over to it.
Crossing the threshold, Raven entered, eyes widening at the plush surroundings. A fountain sat in the centre of a large courtyard. The space was hexagonal in shape with doors leading off from each side. Small shrubs and flowering plants adorned the area, creating a lush oasis.
“Wow! This is fantastic! Do you think this is our house?” Max was beside himself with excitement, practically bouncing as he dashed around from plant to plant. Before anyone could stop him, he was through a doorway.
The next second he bounded out of that room and to the next one until he had peeked into every one.
The knaves all stood there, smiling at Max’s contagious excitement. He was like a fledgling after his first flight.
Raven waggled his brows at the others, who grinned at the obvious readiness of their comrade to take Max’s excitement up another level. They loved that their mate’s despondency had eased. Their situation was still serious, their recent history tragic. They all saw the shadow of their recent loss in Max’s golden eyes, but his pleasure right now was a welcome sight.
As Max drew closer after exploring for a bit longer, Raven’s thick arm shot out and grabbed Max in a firm grip. Dragging him closer, Raven gripped the back of Max’s head, feeling the soft navy hair across his fingers.
Max gasped as his eyes met the lusty desire in Raven’s emerald gaze.
The smell of arousal was immediate, and Max’s cock began to thicken as his libido kicked into high gear. He felt the heat of Raven’s body, and then the sizzle as Raven’s soft lips surrounded his. Parting for the slick intruder, Max allowed Raven’s hot tongue entry, moaning as it swept inside.
Raven’s large hands moved urgently along his back, kneading the globes of Max’s ass and gathering him as close as was possible fully clothed.
“Bed!” Raven gasped urgently, his hands delving under the waistband of Max’s soft trousers. A thick finger slid along Max’s narrow crease before finding the small rosebud and tapping for entry. Max’s arms went around his knave’s strong neck, his slim legs going around the man’s thick waist. He moaned again at the feel of that thickly engorged cock rubbing against his.
Mouths fused together, they walked backward, stumbling in their haste until Raven fell on to his back. Sprawling there with Max glued to him like a limpet, the pair rutted against each other passionately.
Clothes were ripped aside, until naked cocks slid together easily, lubed by the pre-cum leaking from each one.
Max sat back, straddling Raven’s narrow waist. Raven’s thick cock jutted upward impudently, his broad chest heaving as his kiss-swollen lips panted out harsh breaths.
Max gazed at the beautifully displayed male spread out before him. Jet black hair flowed over the bedspread, emerald eyes glazed with desire.
Growling with lust, Max felt primal as he viewed his lover. They’d already bonded, but Max wanted more. He wanted this large warrior. He wanted to claim him. Shifting backwards, Max knelt between Raven’s splayed thighs, gripping the base of Raven’s throbbing meat. Gasping, Raven flung his head back, back arched as Max gave a couple of firm strokes.
Slick with pre-cum, Max lubed his fingers before pushing at Raven’s thick thighs.
Raven’s eyes widened as he realised Max’s intentions, then groaned loudly. His legs curled back, the move showing off his muscular ass and parting the twin globes.
Max smiled wickedly at Raven, locking eyes with the breathless warrior before diving down, shoving his face into the narrow crease.
Raven cursed, his entire body tensing as he felt the hot little tongue playing at his hole.
“Fuuuck!” he growled, arching more as Max lapped greedily. The tight ring of muscle guarding his chute twitched and throbbed with each swipe. As it began to relax, Max took immediate advantage. Raven’s bark of pleasure reverberated around the room as his tongue began to probe deeper, pushing past the muscle and fucking him furiously.
His hips began to move, pushing back against the tiny impaler. Again and again, it stabbed inside, interspersed with the occasional bite to his cheek and long licks from crease to perineum to balls and back.
Long groans rolled from him, sweat coating his body with a slick sheen. The jet-black scales under his skin rippled like liquid oil with each writhing motion of his body.
“This ass is mine, knave!” Max asserted himself, kneeling up between Raven’s quivering thighs. Raven stared, struggling to keep his eyes open, but helpless in Max’s golden gaze. The mating tattoos swirling around Max’s frame undulated with each breath. His body was also coated in sweat, his navy hair matted with it.
The thick cock parked itself at Raven’s quivering hole.
“Mine!” Max repeated his claim before thrusting hard to the hilt inside Raven’s hot chute.
“Ohhh yesss!” Raven cried out, feeling the intense burn as his chute parted to accept the sudden invasion. A brief pause to allow Raven to get used to him, and then Max moved.
Gripping Raven’s thighs, he spread them wider as he pounded hard and heavy into Raven’s tight hole. Snapping his hips with fervent vigour, Max felt the urge to brand Raven take over. He knew it was a part of the bond, since he would do the same to each of his knaves, even Sol. Right now, Raven was in his sights. And his cock was in Raven’s hole.
Heat rippled up Max’s spine, his balls tightened and curled up before, with a roar of pleasure, he burst. Back arching in ecstasy, he sank in to the hilt one final time before spurting over and over inside the hot channel embracing him.
Raven let out a helpless cry, his chute clamping down hard as he felt the hot seed lashing his insides, then the spatter of his own cum along his abs, chest, and even hitting his chin.
Without slowing, Max continued thrusting.
“Mine!” Still hard, despite shooting the massive load, Max was not close to being done yet. After the second orgasm, his thrusts became gentler, more loving. He sank over Raven’s cum-splattered chest, kissing the large knave tenderly.
“Mine,” Max whispered finally, spurting a third and final time before shuddering and collapsing onto Raven’s broad chest. Eyes closing, cock still embedded, he whimpered as his senses slowly returned to normal.
Raven’s hand cupped his cheek, and Max lifted his head to stare into the deep emerald of his lover’s gaze.
“I love you. I am honoured to be yours.” Raven kissed him tenderly, rubbing gentle hands over Max’s slick back.
“Mmmm. I can’t wait until it’s my turn!” Jayde teased and Max jumped almost guiltily. His focus on Raven had been so absolute he had totally forgotten his audience.
Blushing again, he buried his head against Raven’s neck, listening as the others all chuckled at his embarrassment.
“Your Majesty, that was a show indeed! I think we all need cleaning up, now!” Indigo chimed in, laughing.
Max glanced over and noted that everyone was naked, cocks still at half-mast. The thick splashes of white on their abs and chests were evidence that they had enjoyed the free show. Groaning, Max ducked his head again.
“Sire, allow me.” Ochre gathered the embarrassed king into his arms, giving him a gentle kiss before carrying him into a large bathing room off to one side. The pool there glittered invitingly as Ochre walked right in, holding Max carefully.
The others followed, sharing loving glances as they joined t
heir king.
Sol sidled close to Max and Ochre, who held Max in his lap.
Max had his eyes closed, looking tired.
He smiled as Sol brushed the back of his hand against Max’s taut belly, which had just the beginnings of a swell.
“Six hatchlings! One for each of you. I swear I can feel them there, growing inside me.” Max had a soft look in his eyes. His body was now a vessel, and despite the unusual swiftness of his pregnancy, he was proud as punch that he could honour each of his knights with an heir.
Ochre placed a gentle kiss on Max’s shoulder, tilting the man’s head so he could claim his lips fully. His tongue swirled, licking at the soft curves before delving inside. The kiss went on and on, ending with them both panting with desire and cocks rock hard with need.
“Max, we won’t do anything to endanger the little ones.” He kissed Max again then grinned wickedly. “Should the urge to fuck us senseless take over again, I’m your man!” He laughed as Max blushed before laughing right back.
“I suppose I was a little…aggressive!” Max chortled, enjoying being held in those strong arms as Sol sat beside him, still rubbing Max’s belly.
“Aggressive, he says! I thought your cum would spurt out through my nose at one point!” Raven had a wide grin on his face, looking sated and content as he rubbed his ass ruefully.
“I don’t know what came over me. It’s like this need to claim you suddenly took over. I saw you, felt you, and tasted you, and that was it. I didn’t hurt you did I?” Max looked concerned.
Raven swam closer, smiling gently.
He planted a soft kiss on Max’s nose.
“Sire, I’ve wanted you to claim me since we first me. Five more to go!” He waggled his brows, gesturing to the other knaves who grinned wickedly.
Sol let out a snort, giving Max a kiss on the cheek.
“Max needs to rest first, and then we need to find out what the hell we’ve gotten into.”
Shimmer let out a belly laugh.
“Max’s already gotten into Raven, and I for one am letting you all know that, after Ochre, I expect him to be getting into me as well. Multiple times!”
