Nessa stepped to the Kraken's side and laid her belly and breasts against his icy black cheek. Underneath her arms she felt his muscles sliding and stretching; she could only guess what his movements meant. Nessa leaned closer and pressed her lips to his flesh, flicking his salt with the tip of her tongue. Her limbs shook so fiercely she thought she would fall..

From behind, Nessa felt the Kraken snake one long limb toward her, its tip stroking the back of her ankle. She parted her legs. The creature continued to explore, its cool touch circling higher and higher up the inside of her thigh. When his caresses reached the place where her thighs met, she felt his slick digit brush against the tropical heat of her sex. There, he paused.

"Yes," Nessa whispered. "Take me."

In one quick motion the Kraken raised its limb from her groin to her waist, grasping her so tightly she could scarcely breathe.
