Chapter 288: Two Mouths, One Bearer (1)

Kessa’s striped ears angled forward, and she looked down at the full extent of the damage: the new chest lines, the reopened thigh, the splinted arm, the constellation of lesser cuts and bruises.

Her tail lashed once.

"You looked like you were going to fall at the end."

"I almost did."

"Don’t do it again."

Kane’s mouth curved despite the pain.

He reached out with his good hand, caught the front of her wrap, and pulled her in until she stood between his knees.

"You wanted this," he said, voice low.

"You wanted me to stop treating the recovery like something separate from you. Come here."

Kessa’s eyes darkened.

She glanced once at Griselda, still working the divine light along the deepest chest cut, then leaned down and kissed him, hard and open-mouthed, tasting blood and leftover Rage.

Kane answered it without hesitation.

His good hand slid up under her wrap, found the soft heat between her thighs, and pressed two fingers into her without preamble.

She was already wet. The realization pulled a short, rough sound from his throat.

"Both of you," he muttered against Kessa’s mouth.

"I need the healing, and I need the body. No more waiting."

Griselda’s hands stilled for a moment.

Then she set the cloth aside, let the divine light fade, and stood.

Yellow eyes met Kane’s.

She reached up, unfastened the simple closures of her own clothing, and let the fabric fall.

Full, heavy breasts settled free. The rest of her followed until she stood bare, pale and luminous in the low lamplight, the faint glow of her magic still tracing the undersides of her wings.

Kane pulled Griselda closer with his good arm.

She came willingly, pale skin still faintly luminous from the divine magic she had been channeling.

He opened his mouth wide and took one full breast in, sucking hard enough that the soft flesh overflowed his lips.

Griselda’s breath left her in a low, startled moan.

The nipple tightened against his tongue.

He sucked deeper, drawing as much of the dense weight into his mouth as he could, tongue working the peak while his hand squeezed the other breast, thumb dragging across the matching nipple.

Kessa watched for only a second.

Then she planted both hands on Kane’s shoulders and pushed him flat onto the bed with careful but unmistakable force, mindful of the splinted arm and the still-sealing chest wounds.

"Let us treat you," she said, voice rough.

"You almost fell. Now you stay down and take what we give."

Kane’s cock sprang free the moment Kessa dragged the last of the blood-stiff fabric away, hard, thick, already flushed dark from adrenaline and the scent of both women.

Griselda and Kessa knelt on either side of his hips without further discussion.

Two pairs of hands wrapped around him at once.

Kessa’s grip was firmer, striped fingers stroking from base to tip with the same direct hunger she brought to every claim.

Griselda’s touch was slower, more deliberate, pale fingers spreading the bead of wetness that had gathered at the head and working it down the shaft in long, twisting pulls.

Their hands met and overlapped, occasionally brushing, neither yielding space.

Kane exhaled hard through his nose.

"Fuck—"

Kessa leaned in first, tongue dragging a wet stripe up the underside before she closed her lips around the head and sucked.

Griselda followed a heartbeat later, turning her head to lick along the side of the shaft that Kessa’s mouth left exposed, then lower, mouthing the weight of his balls with wet pressure.

The contrast was immediate: Kessa’s hotter, more aggressive suction versus Griselda’s cooler, precise attention.

They found a rhythm without speaking.

Kessa took him deeper in short, bobbing strokes, cheeks hollowing, one hand still wrapped around the base so she could stroke what her mouth could not constantly reach.

Griselda matched her on the opposite side, tongue sliding wetly along the shaft in time with Kessa’s movements, occasionally lifting to suck at the exposed skin just below the head whenever Kessa pulled back.

Spit slicked him quickly.

The overlapping sounds of two mouths working the same cock filled the quiet chamber.

Kane’s good hand settled in Kessa’s hair, not forcing, just resting.

His eyes moved between them, the fierce blue-green of Kessa’s gaze looking up along his body, and the quieter yellow of Griselda’s half-lidded focus as she licked and sucked with deliberate care.

Every time Kessa took him especially deep, Griselda’s tongue would press firmly against the base or the seam of his balls, doubling the sensation until Kane’s hips twitched despite the lingering pain in his thigh and ribs.

"...Both of you," he muttered, voice already strained.

"Keep going. Just like that."

Kessa pulled off long enough to speak, lips shiny, breath warm against the wet shaft.

"You taste like blood and fight. I’m going to clean every bit of it off."

She sank back down, taking him deeper than before, throat fluttering around the head for a brief, intense moment before she had to ease back.

Griselda used the opening to take the head into her own mouth, sucking with slower, stronger pressure while Kessa licked along the shaft and the hand that still stroked the base.

They traded without conflict, Kessa’s more urgent, almost greedy pace alternating with Griselda’s measured, thorough attention, until Kane’s breathing had turned rough and the system’s background recovery was already drinking the rising heat.

Kessa lifted her head again, eyes dark.

"I want your mouth."

She didn’t wait for permission and climbed higher, swung one striped leg over his chest, careful of the wounds, and lowered her already dripping cunt onto his face.

Kane opened his mouth at once, tongue pushing into her in firm strokes.

The taste of her, musky, familiar, unmistakably Kessa, flooded him.

He licked deeper, found her clit, and worked it with the flat of his tongue while she settled her weight more fully.

At the same time, Griselda shifted, rose onto her knees, and straddled his hips.

She reached down, guided the thick, spit-slick head to her entrance, and sank onto him in one continuous motion until he was buried to the hilt inside her.

A controlled sound left her throat.

Her full breasts swayed with the movement.

She placed both hands on his stomach, avoiding the worst of the chest cuts, and began to ride him in slow, deep rolls of her hips.
