She nods, sucking her lip between her teeth in an act of concentration. She grazes the tip of her the needle from the middle of my palm outward, matching the swirling mark I left on her own hand.
“That was fast,” I say, shocked that it was so quick.
“I was just tracing the design out.” She doesn’t look up at me, but instead dips the needle back into the ink and places it at the center of the design.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
The needle enters my skin before I can even get the whole word out.
“People paid you to inflict pain on them like this?” I wince as she wipes at my throbbing palm. I can’t believe that humans exchange credits for this kind of pain.
“Oh yeah, I made the big bucks.” She rolls her eyes. “You know, for someone who nearly broke their own arm, I expected you to handle a little needle better than that.”
“Whatever the pain, it is worth it,” I whisper as she cleans the last of the nuite fruit from my palm.
There in neat purple lines punched into my skin, the swirling mark is so similar to the one I’d given Lena that I do a double take.
“It’s the same as yours,” I whisper softly as she wraps my hand.
It’s as if she did have her own mating barb.
“I thought that was the whole point, wasn’t it?” She laughs, gathering the used supplies into a neat bundle with the dirty bandages.
“It’s beautiful all the same,” I mutter under my breath as she searches for where to throw the waste.
I stand, walking over to a panel on the wall and hitting a button. The refuse chute pops from the carved stone.
“Thanks!” she says before depositing the purple stained pack down. Lena peers into the metal chute right as it snaps closed. She starts, clutching her hand to her neck, and looks back at me with a grin.
“There’s a lot you’re going to have to teach me, you know.”
“Anything you want I will—”
“And there’s things I want to teach you too, mate.” She puts a finger on my lips, trailing it down my neck and between my pecs.
Even the brothers freeze with the anticipation of what Lena intends to teach us. My cock, which had gone soft under the pain my mate inflicted with her needle, swells quickly.
“I should have taken my heat suppressants when we got here. I can still take them if you want…but I thought maybe we deserved the whole mating experience—I can’t give you my venom, but you can enjoy what yours has done at least.” She runs her fingers back through my mating crest, its tentacles pulsating and grabbing onto her fingers.
“There will be no pretending. I’ve wanted to rut you since our first meeting,” I admit, the tension of my hard cock starting to radiate a pulsing warmth through my body.
Lena’s eyes blow wide, her heat taking over. I should have smelled the change in her body, known that she was ripening for me. But the tattoo distracted me just enough.
“Will you fuck me with that pretty cock?” She grips me at my base, squeezing in rhythm with the pumping blood.
“Ohhh.” My breath comes in ragged pants, the brothers moving for her painted tits. I’m nearly ready to bust. “I…I don’t know if I will last long.”
“Good, as long as you promise me we’ll go again. Will you fuck your cum deep into me?”
She’s straddled my leg, and beneath her fine sheer skirts, her wet cunt finds friction over my thigh.
“I will, if you want my seed, if you want me to breed you…if you give me permission.” I grab her hip, attempting to get some morsel of control.
She stops, the haze of her heat momentarily gone.
“Of course I do, if it’s really even possible—I want all of you.” She leans up, straining to meet my lips with her own.
“I’ll give you everything then, my gift from the stars,” I breathe right before I devour her with a kiss.
I lift her from my leg, setting her in my lap, but not entering her yet. I worry that she’s too small for me, barely able to handle the girth of my tentacles, let alone my shaft.
As if reading my mind, the brothers move from her breasts down to her sex. One plays with her pearl while the other rubs her slickness along her opening.
Her muscles tighten as a tentacle works into her. When the resistance pressure feels like it might reach its peak, it slips inside her, testing her cunt’s depth. When the other brother abandons her pearl to join its twin, she throws her head back, moaning my name.
Never was there a more beautiful sight in the entire galaxy.

The heat sizzles through my skin. Every place our skin makes contact with one another is set ablaze. Being able to act on these feelings, to trust Kitaico, to want to give him everything, is fucking bliss.
