Before the door could open, Anna rushed to it and slammed it shut.

[Host, what are you doing?!]

Anna pressed her back against the door, preventing it from being opened. "Kai! I...I’m not receiving any guests right now!"

[Host, move away from the door this instant. You need to soothe your heat or it’ll get worse.]

Anna shook her head, trembling from head to toe. "I can’t..."

"Anna?" Kai’s voice called from outside. "Is everything okay?"

[Host, move away from the door.]

"No."

The System sighed. [Fine. I’ll give you a suppressant. One that should last until you’re able to formulate a new batch.]

Anna looked up at the ceiling. "And what will that cost me?"

[You have to ride out the first wave.]

"You’re so eager to get me fucked, system. If I didn’t know better I’d say you’re a voyeur."

[Please, don’t be delusional. I am merely mapping out a path that will Favour you in the future. Do you want the suppressant or not?]

Anna glanced over her shoulder at the door. Then squeezed her eyes shut. So many thoughts ran through her mind. She didn’t know what to expect from a full heat. If just the first waves were this intense, she didn’t think she’d last long against the full onset. "I want it. On the condition that I won’t have sex with him."

[Host—]

"Take it or leave it."

[You’re threatening me?]

"No," Anna turned to the door and quietly stepped away from it. "I’m striking a bargain."

[Fine. I accept your condition.]

"Kai?" Anna called out, her voice trembling. "You...you can come in! Just don’t freak out okay?"

He chuckled. "Freak out about what?"

The door opened and this time he walked in. He paused immediately, the door sliding shut behind him. He sniffed the air, then looked over at Anna. Eyes widening, he took a cautious step forward.

"What’s going on?" He asked. "Your spores, they’re white. And...your scent..."

Anna swallowed thickly, pressing her thighs together. She wanted to walk up to Kai and kiss him. Or pull him down with her so she could ride his—

"I...we might have to stall work on the...stones for a while."

Dark hunger flashed in Kai’s eyes. His jaw worked and his fists clenched at his sides. "That’s why you smelled so good earlier. You’re in heat."

A nervous laugh punched out of Anna. She felt like a schoolgirl about to confess to her hot senior crush. Innocent and utterly clueless.

"How...how did she handle her heat ?"

"Drax." Kai said without further explanation.

Anna’s mind flashed back to the memories. The passionate kiss. The many more passionate kiss Princess Orchid shared with Drax before and after licking him up. Lately, Anna had done a good job at not thinking about him. But now that those floodgates were open, it sent more heat crawling through her veins.

Kai walked over to the bed and sat down. "Let me help you, Anna."

Anna’s eyes went wide. "H-help?"

He leaned back, his arms supporting his body up a he spread his leg into a comfortable position. "Yes. I’ll let you use me."

"I..."

[Hostie, you don’t have time to spend contemplating. If your heat progresses into a full blown one, the suppressant will be useless. Act now. Shame later.]

"Glad you know I’ll be boiling in shame after this." She hissed under her breath.

Anna didn’t immediately jump on the offer.

She stared at Kai, her eyes roving over his half naked body, resting on the collar still around his neck. She wanted to look down, much lower. But shame wouldn’t let her.

His eyes remained focused on her. Deep and blue, reminding her of the ocean she never got to see in her past life.

Every instinct she possessed in this new body yelled at her to jump on the male and present herself to him. Rip the annoying pants out and get some relief for the burning between her legs. Her core ached so badly that it physically hurt. The front of her pants were soaked, her body screaming for relief. Relief she was still hesitant to get.

"Cutie," Kai called out, his head tilted to the side. Anna noticed the light pink dusting over his cheeks and the red tips of his ears.

He’s affected too...am I being cruel right now?

"I..." Anna clenched her fists. "I don’t..."

"You don’t have to," Kai urged softly.

[You have to.] The System’s voice sharpened. [If you don’t get some satisfaction now, it will get worse. Much worse, hostie. You could end up hurting him if this gets any more out of hand.]

Urgh! This sleazy system!

Anna’s shoulders slumped. "F-fine."

She crawled onto the bed and into Kai’s lap, throwing her legs on both sides of him, her hips hovering above his.

He didn’t move. Instead he leaned back, giving her more room to get comfortable. Up close, his pupils were fully dilated. Only a thin ring of blue was left in his eyes. Anna didn’t know if that terrified her or turned her on.

"Kai...I don’t know about this..." her arms tightened round his neck and her voice shook.

"In your past life, you didn’t have heats?"

Anna shook her head. "Come to think of it, I haven’t had a period since I came here."

Kai frowned. "What’s a period?"

He sounded so cute Anna couldn’t help but laugh. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"It’s nothing important right now. I just..."

Kai looked down, a quick glance, before his eyes met hers. "If this is what makes you feel better, then we can just talk."

Anna chewed on her lips. Gently, she lowered her hips. "T-talk about what?"

He shrugged. "Anything

Anna wanted to talk. Get her mind off the images in her head. She became hyper aware of her surroundings. The bed, Kai’s cool body, the heat spreading through hers.

So she moved. Lower.

The moment her soaked core pressed against the thick dent in her pants, pleasure shot through her like she’d touched a live wire.

She gasped, her hips twitching instinctively, searching for more friction. Kai groaned, his voice low and deep, and she wanted to hear more of it.

He’s so hard...oh my goodness is that even going to fit anywhere? He’s so slender, how...how is that possible?!

Anna buried her flaming hot face into his shoulder. His scent hit her hard, making her mouth water and her hips buck against him. She swallowed hard, her lips pressed into his skin.

"You want to bite me?" He asked with a heavy chuckle.

Anna nodded with a whimper.

"Go on then,"

She pulled her head back and met his eyes. "Did she...did she ever ask you to..."

He raised a brow. "Help with her heats? No."

"So you’ve never..."

He laughed. "Had sex?"

If it was any possibly for her face to get hotter, it did. "Don’t say it like that!"

Kai leaned forward, so close that their noses almost touched. "You know, you make me believe you’ve never been intimate. In your past life, did you have a lover?"

"O-of course!" Anna gasped, mortified. "I’m not some clueless virgin!"

His eyes moved to her lips and stayed there. "You act like you are."

"I’m not!" She grabbed both sides of his face and kissed him. "Does that prove it?"

He leaned back, a seductive smile on his face. "I don’t know. You tell me. You’re the one soaking through my pants."

"My pants are soaked too!" Anna whispered fiercely.

He nudged his hips forward. Just a little inch, not enough for stimulation, but enough for Anna to feel his hardness.

"Did you have a pet?" He asked.

Anna’s breathing came out hard and shaky. Meeting his heated gaze turned impossible and she looking away. "I...I did. A cat, a normal one. His name...his name was Taco."

"Taco, sounds nice. What color was he?"

Anna rocked forward slowly, turning her throbbing pussy along the hard curve of his clothed cock. The much needed friction dragged perfectly against her clit, making her moan loudly.

"Black! He was a black cat. With...fuck..."

Kai leaned close and whispered in her ear. "You make the prettiest sounds, cutie. I want to hear more of them," his breath hitched and she heard him swallow. "Go on. Keep telling me about Taco."

Oh my goodness does he read dark romance or what?! How’s he...oh my fuck!

Her arms tightened around his neck and she rolled her hips again, slower this time, her eyes rolling back as the thick pleasure zapped through her veins.

"He...he um..."

"Go on," Kai murmured, pressing a soft, barely there kiss to her racing pulse. "Tell me what he did,"

"He...knocked um...he knocked things over. He’d sit on my laptop and...watch..." Anna couldn’t string her words properly. Even conjuring an image of her beloved cat was difficult with all the pleasure sizzling in her head.

Kai’s voice dropped low, getting impossibly filthier. "You’re soaked, cutie. And you’re burning up a lot. Does it feel that good rubbing your needy pussy on me?"

Anna whimpered, shocked, aroused, and terrified all at once. "Don’t say that!" She whimpered into his neck.

"It’s the truth, no?" He sat up straighter, his hands coming to rest on her hips. He held her, not guiding her movements, not chasing his high, just keeping her firmly in place while her hips continued to jerk mercilessly.

Heat coiled tighter and tighter in her belly. Her nipples got so hard she wanted him to bite on them. Every roll of her hips, every time her clit rubbed against fabric, made her want to scream and take of all clothes between them.

"Kai..." she moaned, hot tears springing to her eyes.

"Yes, cutie? Do you want something more?"

Fuck yes! I want your cock—

"I can’t..."

Her core ached and fluttered around nothing. She knew deep inside her that she needed him. All of him. And yet some part of her remained firmly opposed to it.

Kai pulled her head back and leaned in, capturing her lips in a deep and hungry kiss. His tongue pushed into her mouth, tangling tightly with hers. Anna moaned, kissing him back like she’d die of she didn’t. Their tongues slid together, hot and messy. He tasted of salt and something darker she couldn’t name. When she sucked on his tongue, he groaned, the sound vibrating through her entire body.

Oh my goodness I’m going to...

"That’s it cutie..." he whispered into the kiss. "Grind on my cock like a good girl. I like it when you’re like this. All mine, all needy. No one else gets you like this but m,"

Anna shuddered, his vulgar words only adding to the flames of desire.

She rocked faster, harder, as the pleasure continued to build. Her spores thickened in the air, almost turning solid.

Anna pulled back from the kiss, gasping, only for him to kiss her again in seconds. He claimed her mouth as she rode him, nibbling on her lower lip enough to sting but not draw blood.

"Kai...I’m...I won’t—"

"Let go for me, cutie,"

Anna moaned loudly, hips moving, franrically chasing her orgasm. The pressure inside her tightened unbearably. Every drag of her soaked pussy along his hard cock sent her closer to the edge.

She cried out into his mouth as the massive orgasm crashed through her. Pleasure exploded in deep, shuddering waves. Her pussy pulsed hard against him, gushing slick as she came. Her hips jerked uncontrollably, grinding through every pulse until she was shaking and whimpering against him.

Ohmygosh! Fuck fuck fuck!

"That’s it, Cutie. Let yourself feel good,"

Kai held her close the whole time, kissing her deeply, swallowing every moan. When the last tremors faded, Anna collapsed against his shoulder, panting and trembling. The collar pressed against her cheek, cold as ice.

I’ve never come so hard in my entire life...and we didn’t even have sex. If we did...I’m fucked.

The System dinged. [the suppressant has been added to your space! Please check it out. It will take thirty minutes to fully kick in.]

With shaky hands Anna pulled up the System interface and took out the pale blue pills and swallowed it dry.

Kai’s hard breathing grounded her. But even though she’d just come, she still wasn’t satisfied.

"Cutie?" Kai called, noticing her arms tightening around him.

Thirty minutes...I don’t think I can last that long!

Anna looked up at Kai with teary eyes, flushed and still needy. Her voice came out small and shaky. "Do you...do you mind if I borrow you for another thirty minutes?"
