And Nash, who’d seemed so fierce and vicious, so ready to defend me from everyone and everything just a few seconds prior, grinned like a frat boy and actually pushed me away from him enough to spin me in a circle like we were dancing. “He tried to fight me when I found him.” Proud. He was proud of me.
I didn’t get jealous… but up until a week ago, I also hadn’t got boners for dudes, so… Live, laugh, love or whatever, right? Did that apply to experimenting with monster sex? Live, laugh, love… fuck an orc? Sounded… plausible. I was going to say yes.
“Maybe I’m not so straight after all.” With the taste of his cum on my tongue and my ass still dripping with his saliva, it was probably one of the most obvious statements I’d ever made in my life.
“I love you, Nash. I don’t think I said it, and I don’t know if you really understand what it means… but fuck, I love you. I don’t even like fighting, but I’d totally wreck anyone for you.” …. “I love you too, Kai. I would give the worlds for your safety, to have you at my side. I would give all and everything for your smile.”

Kai: “Okay, think like Rainn.” The words came out soft beneath my breath, and I glanced around one more time. Third time was not the charm to make anything come charging out after me—not that I wanted it to.
Because I didn’t.
I enjoyed reading monster books. That didn’t mean I wanted to live one out.
“Think like Rainn.” I said it aloud again, but it wasn’t doing me a damn bit of good. Rainn would be looking for the monsters, for the adventure and inspiration.

"Kai: That didn’t stop me from muttering under my breath in frustration while I blindly stretched my hands out in front of me to try to stop myself from falling in the dark. “Stupid orcs… stupid fantasy world. This is karma for stealing that dildo, isn’t it? What god do I have to apologize to for fucking myself with it, because I will. I’ll—”
I let out a scream that was instantly cut off by the feel of a calloused palm sliding across my mouth—my body was jerked against something warm and hard, and for a second, I was pretty sure I was going to die.
This was it.
I’d found a worse monster, and it was going to kill me, and Nash would find me the next day gutted and dead and—
“What do you think you’re doing, Kai?”

Nash: “I would have you ride me like this until you were crying, Little Mate. Until you were keening and begging for me to breed you.” The word breed made my body give a jerk and my cock twitch in warning. I wanted this to last, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold back. He was my mate, and we were made for this moment, and we would have a thousand others like it. “B-breed?” He groaned the word out, and the way it caught in the back of his throat and made his cheeks flush was too much—he knew what it meant. I leaned in, nipping his lower lip, and let go of his hair so I could drop both my hands between us. I took hold of our cocks and pumped us in time with the gasps of his breath and the thundering of my heart. “Mmmm… yes, Kai. I want to fuck you so full of cum that your stomach swells with it… I want to fill you until your body knows who it belongs to, until you’re mine.”

"Kai: It was like him asking me to tell him no—for someone who’d abducted me and kept me tied to a bed against my will, he sure was a fucking consent king."

Nash: “That… okay. I think I can do that. But, uh… you lead the way.” Kai looked up at me almost helplessly. “I’m pretty shit at directions, Nash. I think I’d be lost without you.”
From the expression on his face, I knew he meant more than just in the woods… and in truth, I knew my answer was the same.
I would be lost without him too."

!! I don't equate fiction stories to real life. It's a matter of personal taste and what you are willing or want to tolerate in the books you read. We all have different opinions and preferences when it comes to the kind of books we enjoy, so it's important to respect and remember that it's just a book!!
Hope this review was helpful.
