crazy and he’d wake up in a mental institution.
“Cain, what’s wrong?” Her soft hand pressed on the side of his face. Fucking hell, I might as well enjoy the dream and see how it all plays out. “Nothing, sweetheart. We’d best hurry.”
There was no more questioning. It was merely a short meeting with the elders. On the table before them stood several large wooden bowls filled to the brim with large emeralds and diamonds.
“Cain Jones, as soon as you and Tirzah are mated, we would like you both to return to your city and start getting everything ready for our departure from this wild forest. When we are settled, we will help you find your kin and develop the telepathic skills you should have, and cloaking ability. Tirzah, you will go with him. Here are the stones you can convert to your currency. We can get more if you need them.”
“I think that will do just fine for now. And I think I’m already developing telepathy. Every now and then I hear vague voices in my head, but not clear enough to understand.” Cain eyed the rough gems. Some of them were quite large and he was sure could fetch a fortune. “How are we supposed to carry those?”
“We will give you a special harness to wear when you shift to cat. You are dismissed.”
“Well, that was quick,” Cain said, carrying the two bowls, one in each hand. “These are heavy, but if they are really emeralds and diamonds, they’re worth a small fortune.”
“You think they are real,” Tirzah said.
“Yes. For something different to do, on one of my holidays a few years ago, I went digging for diamonds. I saw many pictures of unpolished and uncut gems.”
It had been an invitation from one of his friends who was married and had a family. He’d tagged along and had actually enjoyed the vacation, the interaction with Bill’s family, and the digging for diamonds, although he never found any.
“I’ll take these bowls of goodies to my sleeping area for now. How about you and I go for a swim?”
“Swim? We can’t. The water isn’t safe. There are flesh eating predators in the water.”
“What a shame.” He sighed. “It looks so inviting. How do you know they’re flesh eaters? Have any of your people been attacked?”
“No. But when the elders explored, they saw savage people attacked by the creatures.”
“Caiman. That’s what they’re called. I guess we won’t go swimming then. As smart as your people are, I’m surprised they haven’t built a dam to stop them from getting into the pond.”
“We can go to the waterfalls. We can explore the caves where we find the stones. Do you want to do that?”
Hell, anything for some privacy with her. “Yes, let’s explore the caves,” he said eagerly.
They left the bowls of gems in the small hut where Cain had slept, then climbed the rocks to the caves.
It was quite dark inside. As soon as they were out of view, he reached for Tirzah and pulled her into his arms. “I’ve longed for this,” he murmured against her lips. Her body rubbed seductively against his and his cock throbbed with pent up desire, eager for her. “My little teaser,” he whispered, his words almost lost by the sound of the rushing waters of the fall. He claimed her sweet lips, sucked her tongue into his mouth and tasted the nectar of her mouth. He lifted her easily and she automatically clamped her legs around him, opening up to him like a clamshell ready to grab its prey. He pushed her down and his cock entered to the hilt, her pussy walls clenching him tight.
Her arms wound around his neck. He let go of her waist, cupped her buttocks and moved her up and down. Her arms wound tightly around his neck and her lips stroked his forehead, his cheeks, his nose. Playfully, she licked his lips.
“Yes, Cain, oh yes,” she shouted.
She came, her juices coating his balls, but he stopped, wanting their joining to last a little longer. “Baby, you’re so beautiful, so unbelievably gorgeous,” he told her and wished
