That last sight had been particularly potent. She didn’t know if she was horrified or turned on—maybe a little of both. She had never wanted kids with Mitchell—he was married to his work and would have made a terrible father. But with the right guy…
Do you mean with Nox? demanded a little voice in her head. Because a guy with no emotions would make a terrible father too, you know, Seline. You have to be able to show a child that you love them and care for them—and Nox can’t do that.
Or could he? More and more since they had come here to the Halls of Pain, Seline had been wondering if her stoic Protector was starting to feel something. He had sounded so angry when Master Lendrex had showed them the Ghost Box. And he was definitely acting possessive and extra protective whenever the other man looked at her. And then there was the way he had made her come so hard when he put in her “tail.”
The way he touched me and called me his “good girl,” Seline thought and a shiver of pure lust ran through her. Which was strange—shouldn’t she be feeling less sexually needy after the intense release she’d experienced? But instead, she was feeling even hornier than she had before the tail insertion. What was going on with her?
It’s this place, Seline told herself. It’s everything I wanted to try out in a BDSM club and more. Just being here around all the forbidden things I’ve been dreaming about and getting to pretend that Nox is my Master is making me hot.
At least, she thought that was it.
They walked down the hallway again until they reached another archway—this one smaller than the last two because it led into a private space. Seline was surprised that Master Lendrex didn’t have an actual door on his office, but they didn’t seem to want much privacy here in the Halls of Pain. Maybe they were all voyeurs—after all, they were all performing all kinds of sex acts on each other all over the place here in full view of everyone, so why bother with doors?
“Do come in,” Master Lendrex told them, leading the way inside. His office was large but also crowded, with a desk-type piece of furniture in one corner and a set of floor to ceiling shelves that took up most of the rest of the room. On the shelves, arranged in no order that Seline could see, were many, many ancient and expensive looking artifacts.
“Now let me see…Kindred artifacts,” he mused, as he perused the shelves. “Ah—here we go—here’s one.”
Carefully, he reached up and lifted down something that looked like an ivory statue of a woman.
“Look—I believe this is an early carving of your Goddess,” he said to Nox. “The Mother of All Life, I believe you call her?”
“Correct.” Nox took the small statue with reverence, holding it carefully in both hands. “It is most beautiful,” he murmured. “But not quite what I was looking for.”
“Perhaps this, then.” Lendrex took the statue and placed it back in its spot. Then he handed Nox a cracked leather sheath. “Used to hold a knife for an ancient Kindred warrior from your home planet of First World, I think,” he said as Nox examined it. “It even has an image on the back of a winged Kindred,” he added.
“Fascinating.” Nox raised one eyebrow as he examined the sheath, a sure sign that he was interested, Seline thought. But he handed it back as well.
“Still not what you’re looking for?” Lendrex asked. “Maybe if you could give me an idea of what you want—”
“It is a small trinket—half a trinket, really,” Nox said. “A half cube made of smaller cubes of black and white stone. They move together to form patterns.”
“Hmm…” Lendrex frowned. “It sounds like a truly intriguing artifact, but I can’t recall ever seeing anything like what you’re describing.”
Seline’s heart sank. If Master Lendrex didn’t have the Far Box in this universe, who did? And how would they ever find it in such a vast space? What were they going to do?
At that moment, Lovely began to moan in a distressed sounding way.
“Lovely?” Master Lendrex looked at her sharply. “What is it?”
“Oh, Master…the Needing! It’s on me! I think…think the way you were tasting me earlier brought it on!” she moaned. “Please, I need your seed—now.”
“All right, stay calm,” Lendrex murmured, stroking her hair. “You can suck me to start with and then if your breasts fill with nectar, I’ll take you back to the Harvesting and Tasting room.”
As he spoke, he was unfastening his trousers and pulling them open to expose his long, hard, golden cock.
Still moaning, Lovely sank to her knees before him and eagerly took it into her mouth. As she sucked him, Master Lendrex leaned back against his desk and gave a low groan of almost pained pleasure.
