The Power of Submission Pt 1 - Azadou

I thought I was done walking into unfamiliar terrain; that I no longer had to face the trepidation that comes with confronting the unknown, yet here I am, still feeling like a newborn suckling at the teat of unclaimed knowledge with a desperate thirst for guidance and understanding.Steeling myself, I knock on Ayawamat’s door. I hear his sigh on the other side of the door, followed by the sounds of him getting up and padding over to the door. He opens it, his arm outstretched against the frame as his rainbow eyes gaze at me with disinterest.“Yes?” he prompts lazily.Glancing over his shoulder, I notice the mountains of books open on his bed and scattered across the floor. “Am I interrupting?” I question curiously, suspecting his research pertains to the hunt for his unwanted animai.“You are, so make it snappy,” he answers brusquely.I breathe deep into my lungs and speak, “I need your help.”His eyebrow raises in intrigue. “I’ve been alive a long time, and you’re the first God to as

The Power of Submission Pt 2 - Orenda

After putting Xiema to sleep, I quietly step out of her room. As I carefully close the door behind me, I catch the wonderful aroma of morning glory. I glance down in awe at the trail of Heavenly Blue morning glories scattered across the hallway floor. Their azure-blue trumpet-shaped petals are open, showcasing their white and yellow throats as their fragrance perfumes the air and brings a smile to my face.Inquisitively, I follow the trail down the hall and around the corner until I’m standing in front of Azadou’s bedroom. With my curiosity growing, I gently rap my knuckles against the door. I sense Azadou inside and can hear his heart rate increase, growing louder as he walks towards the door. When the door opens, my mouth begins to salivate as his intoxicating scent hits me with the force of a cyclone. I almost start drooling when I take in the sight of his defined, bronzed, muscular physique standing in front of me. It takes all of my willpower to draw my eyes up and away from his

The Power of Submission Pt 3 - Azadou

I watch Orenda sleep, her beautiful 7-foot-long body curled up beside me. I listen to the sounds of her steady heartbeat and soft breathing, each one feeling like a song written just for me. Looking down at her, I can’t believe how much has changed. It wasn’t all that long ago that I couldn’t have fathomed giving control to Orenda. If I could go back in time and beat sense into myself and spare us all the resulting heartache of my ignorance, I would.There is something mind-blowingly erotic in surrendering to your other half. I used to feel a need to dominate her, but hearing her willingly tell me her exact wants and desires is quickly becoming my new favourite seduction. Hearing her sweet voice tell me just how she likes it and what she wants me to do to her had me harder than the cage that once bound me. Surrendering to her made me feel invigorated in a way I never have and gave me the power to make her scream my name. She never screamed my name before. Now that I’ve heard how my na

EPILOGUE - Invidia

Eighteen years laterThe trees and plants of the forest hide my position, where I watch and listen from a distance to the bustling sounds of Longsang. Pain lances my heart, and anger holds my body in a vice as I observe the nagata going about their day, smiling and laughing, completely unincumbered. The sounds of their joy pierce my soul, taunting me as the haunting words of my father’s rejection echo through my mind.“You are nothing but an abomination. Your mother should have disposed of you when she had the chance.”Even now, I hear those words as if they were spoken just moments ago. He didn’t look at me and see a daughter, he saw a plight on his bloodline; a stain against his name. He thought I was weak…but he couldn’t have been more wrong. He robbed me of a family and sense of community just as much as my mother did. I was a child born of two species yet welcomed by none.For years I tried to find acceptance among the nagata who escaped Longsang during its seclusion, but just li
