CHAPTER 734: WHEN THE HEART BEATS DIFFERENTLY (3)

Mikhailis’s hands tightened on her hips, a sudden shift that made her breath hitch. What’s he—? With a gentle but firm grip, he began to move her, guiding her hips in a slow, deliberate rhythm, stirring the heat between them back to life. Gods, he’s making me move again, and I’m not ready. The sensation was as crazy as before, a fire reigniting in her core, her body trembling as she felt him harden inside her, stretching her once more. It’s too much, too soon, but I want it. Her moans broke through the kiss, "MMH! MMH!", muffled against his lips as she surrendered to the rhythm, her hips rolling with his guidance, each movement sending sparks through her. He’s so strong, so sure, and I’m falling apart again.

The intensity built, their bodies finding that familiar cadence, the "SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!" of her thighs against his hips echoing in the slot, softer now but no less real. It’s like before, but deeper, more... us. The wet "QUELCH! QUELCH!" followed, a raw, intimate sound as he filled her, her folds spreading wide, her sweet places pulsing with each movement. He’s hitting everything, every spot, like he’s rewriting me. Thalatha’s head tipped back, breaking the kiss for a moment, her eyes fluttering shut as she gasped, "MMMHH!!!" I’m going to lose it again, it’s too good. Her hands gripped his shoulders, nails digging into muscle, anchoring her as the pleasure surged, threatening to overwhelm her.

Mikhailis pulled her back into the kiss, his lips hungry, his tongue diving deep, sucking at hers with a ferocity that matched the rhythm below. He’s not letting me go, and I don’t want him to. The "Slrp! Slrp!" sounds grew louder, their tongues coiling tightly, a desperate dance that consumed her senses. His tongue, gods, it’s like he’s pulling me apart and putting me back together. Her hips moved faster, guided by his hands, the rhythm relentless, each thrust deeper, more intense, poking her sweet places with a precision that made her vision blur. I’m going to break, it’s too much, too perfect. Her body trembled, her thighs shaking as she struggled to keep up, the pleasure pushing her to the edge of consciousness once more. I’m addicted, and I’m not fighting it.

The tidal rush came again, a wave building in her core, unstoppable, inevitable. It’s coming, I can feel it. "I-I’M COMINGGG!!" she shouted, the words muffled by his kiss, her eyes rolling back as the climax hit, a blinding release that left her shuddering, gasping. Mikhailis followed, his seed flooding her, a hot, overflowing rush that filled her completely, her belly swelling noticeably with the sheer volume. Gods, it’s so much, I can see it, feel it. The bulge in her stomach was visible now, a testament to the multiple times he’d filled her, each release more intense than the last. He’s claimed me, over and over, and I’m his. The sensation pushed her deeper into her climax, prolonged and shattering, her body trembling with aftershocks. It’s heaven, every time.

Droplets of their love juice spilled out, coating her thighs, dripping to the stone below, joining the slick patches already scattered across the slot’s floor. It’s everywhere, our mess, our truth. The sight flushed her cheeks with a mix of embarrassment and pride, her body humming with satisfaction. So much, and it’s all us. Mikhailis didn’t stop, his thrusts slowing but not ceasing, each one a gentle claim that kept her grounded, her core pulsing with the warmth of him. He’s still here, still filling me. Their kiss resumed, long and intense, their tongues curling, sucking hard, the "Slrp! Slrp!" sounds a relentless chorus that marked their connection. I don’t want this to end, not ever.

The kiss stretched on, neither of them willing to break it, their lips moving with a hunger that felt eternal. He’s kissing me like I’m his world, and I’m kissing him like he’s mine. Thalatha’s tongue curled around his, pulling with a need that burned through her, tasting the salt and warmth of him, a flavor that was theirs alone. I’m addicted, and I’ll never stop. Her hands slid to his face, cupping his jaw, feeling the stubble under her fingers, grounding her in the reality of him. He’s real, he’s here, and this is ours. The slot’s cold stone faded, the world shrinking to their kiss, their touch, the rhythm of their shared breath.

The Ascensorium Heart’s hum pulsed beneath them, a steady rhythm that held the slot’s dim air like a heartbeat. Thalatha’s chest heaved, her breath uneven, her body trembling with the aftershocks of their passion. I’m spent, but I’m alive, so alive.

Mikhailis’s eyes met hers, dark with arousal but softening now, a quiet promise in their depths. He’s looking at me like I’m everything, and I feel it. His hands rested on her hips, steadying her, his voice low, rough with exertion but gentle with care. "Should... we... go...?"

Thalatha’s breath caught, her lungs struggling to find air as the weight of him, his huge thing still inside her, pressed against her core, a delicious pressure that made her head spin. Gods, it’s so big, it’s making it hard to breathe, but it feels so good. She panted, her voice a ragged whisper, "...Yes..." The word slipped out between gasps, her body trembling as she tried to gather herself, the warmth of him filling her senses. I can’t think straight, not with him still inside me. With a slow, deliberate motion, Mikhailis shifted, pulling out with a wet "QUELCH!" that echoed in the slot, leaving her feeling both empty and satisfied, her thighs slick with their mingled juices. It’s gone, but I can still feel him, everywhere.

She steadied herself, her legs wobbling as she stood, adjusting her torn undergarment with a flush of pride and embarrassment. So much, all over the stone, our mark. The slot’s floor was a mess of their love, droplets scattered like a map of their intensity. Mikhailis rose beside her, his shirt tucked, his trousers straightened, but his eyes still held that hungry spark. He’s so composed, but I know what’s underneath. Rodion rolled forward, his marshmallow-like form whirring softly, eye-lights dimmed in discreet acknowledgment, a tray extended with cloths to clean themselves. Thalatha wiped her thighs, the cool fabric grounding her, while Mikhailis did the same, their movements a quiet ritual of their shared truth.

"Time to move," Thalatha said, her voice steadier now, the general’s edge returning as she scanned the team. We’ve got work to do, but I’m carrying him with me. The necro-ants shifted into formation, their mandibles clicking softly, guided by Elowen’s pheromone commands. The Reliquary Sentinel took point, coffin-door shield angled, while the Ossuary Hound padded low, chain muffled. Scurabons and Hypnoveils flanked the midline, their movements precise, while workers and nurses trailed, carrying resin jars and calcium sap. They’re ready, and so am I. The Ascensorium Heart had opened a new floor, a vast ossuary chamber with bone-crafted arches and glowing rune-veins, its air thick with the scent of ironvine dust and old bone meal.

Exploration was swift, the necro-ants’ coordination making the chamber’s twists feel almost effortless. Elowen’s brood is sharp, like an extension of my own will. Rodion’s console painted the walls with pale light, mapping safe paths and no-arc zones, while the Scurabons scouted ahead, knives tucked, their steps light and non-repeating. The chamber’s rune-veins pulsed faintly, no immediate threats, but Thalatha’s instincts stayed sharp. No patterns, no mistakes. They reached a new room, a hexagonal gallery with soil-ribs reinforced by pale resin, the air heavy with glowcap traces. Rodion’s scan confirmed no hostiles, just a faint necromantic signature, a potential ally hive. We’re safe for now, but I’m not letting my guard down.

As the team secured the gallery, Thalatha’s eyes caught Mikhailis’s, a spark of mischief in his gaze. He’s thinking it too. She made a deliberate misstep, brushing against him as she adjusted a strap, her shoulder pressing into his chest. Oops, my mistake. The contact was electric, her skin tingling as his hand grazed her arm, steadying her. He knows I did that on purpose.
