Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 449

Even though Nyx kept insisting she wasn’t hurt, he still checked her over thoroughly, leaving her cheeks flushed red. No matter how refined and noble a male looked, when his desires kicked in, it could get pretty intense.

Finally free at last, she immediately rolled across the bed to put some distance between her and Seafarion. But she misjudged it, rolled too far, and banged the back of her head against a solid wall of chest muscle.

Nyx froze stiff. Hot breath brushed against her neck, and her toes curled up from the tension. The leopard, who’d been waiting for ages, didn’t hesitate to pounce on the little rabbit who’d delivered herself right to him.

After a hearty feast, the greedy male was already plotting his next meal.

In a drowsy haze, Nyx heard someone whispering in her ear, grinding against her, saying he wanted to delay leaving this world a little longer.

It wasn’t that this world had anything worth clinging to–it was just that competing as two was a lot easier than competing as

nine.

Nyx didn’t quite catch their meaning at first, assuming they had some unfinished business. She nodded slowly, still half- asleep.

The first day they stayed, none of the three left the house. The second day, they kept messing around.

By the third day, Nyx finally caught on that something was off. She pushed away the heads buried against her, one on each side. “Are you two getting a little too comfortable here?”

“What does ‘too comfortable‘ mean?” Kai asked, leaning down to cradle her calf, rubbing it a few times before pressing his face against it tightly.

Ever since his memories returned, his skin hunger seemed to come back with them. Once he latched onto Nyx, he wouldn’t let go.

“Too comfortable‘ means you’re just chasing short–term fun and don’t want to go home!” Nyx said, poking his face with her finger.

Kai leaned into her touch shamelessly, showing no remorse. “Yeah, I’m too comfortable.”

Nyx couldn’t help but pinch his cheek, testing how thick his skin really was. Not missing the other males back home was one thing–they were rivals, after all. “But don’t you miss Gabby and Leo?” she asked. “They’re your children!”

Seafarion slid up behind her, gently resting his hand on her waist. “The cubs are all grown up now. They’ll have to strike out on their own eventually. Only they would stay with Nyx forever.

For a split second, Nyx actually zoned out, then snapped back to reality. “But Gabby and Leo are still so little!”

She almost let them lead her astray. Sure, some of the cubs at home had grown up and started venturing out into the world, but Gabby and Leo definitely weren’t among them. They were still tiny, and their favorite thing was to circle her, calling out

“Mama.”

Seeing Nyx’s eyes soften, clearly missing the cubs, the two males put on a show of fatherly affection, nodding in agreement.

“Then we’ll head back tomorrow,” they said. As for why not today–well, they just couldn’t bear to break this perfect vibe.

Wet kisses landed on her neck, and Nyx’s lashes fluttered. Her thoughts scattered, and half–reluctantly, she ended up spending another day tangled with the two males. When they finally left that world and got back home, she still felt a faint

ache in her lower back.
