Goblin Moon by Candace Sams

and me,” she whispered.
    He gripped her hips and pulled her against him. He pushed his covered erection into the mound of curls and felt her push back. Finally, she let him loosen the string and release the pouch. She reached for him again, but he picked her up and quickly carried her toward the Moon Pool.
    "The first time we take one another is in the water. It's tradition,” he explained.
    "Hurry, Tearach. I need you.” Kathy felt every part of her body responding to his touch. And she'd never felt so alive in her life.
    The mating lust was upon Tearach so strong nothing could stop him. As with all the men of his race, his vision began to blur, and all his senses shut down except those necessary to mate. He carried her into the water and carefully lowered her. They kissed and fondled each other for only a few short moments before he lifted her straight up then let her slide onto him. They both cried out as the ecstasy of the moment claimed them. Her long legs wrapped around him, and he began to slowly thrust. With each movement, his heart beat harder.
    There was nothing for Kathy but Tearach. He was heavy and hard within her vagina. Touching every part of her. After only a few minutes, her control shattered with an overwhelming climax. It seemed to go on and on. Nothing so intense had ever happened to her, and she thought she'd die from the pleasure. This was how a man and woman were made to love. When the peak finally faded, she was completely and utterly spent. Only Tearach's strong grasp kept her from falling into the warm water.
    Tearach stroked three more times before exploding. No woman had ever pulled such a strong response from him, and it tore through his heated body like an electric charge. His vision completely left him for several moments. Only her warm, soft body kept him sane. It was almost as if his mind tried to leave his sated body. His arms closed around her. He could feel her heart beating against his own breast. But, she was barely conscious.
    This was the only time in a Goblin's life when he or she was completely helpless. It was one reason members of his race chose to make love in very secluded places. An enemy would have no problem destroying even the best warrior during the mating lust. Something must have alerted Kathy to his physical state because her hands came up to his face and he heard her soft, surprised exclamation.
    "Tearach, your eyes are glowing! It's like looking into cat's eyes when the light reflects from them."
    It would only take a few moments for his vision to return. Then, because the act had been so very satisfying, his blood would heat again. “I can't see, Kathy. This is what happens when we mate. It's a very private and intimate thing. We expend all our energy pleasing our partners. Were I with a Goblin woman, she'd be unable to see me as well. We could only feel and hear each other. Our sight would return only when our passion subsided. Because we're stronger than normal, we expend more energy in the act of making love. It's been this way since our race began."
    "You're virtually helpless, aren't you?"
    He noted the soft tone in her voice. Something in it begged him to trust her. He really had no choice. He was helpless. “Yes, Kathy. All my senses are attuned to you. I can't see anything."
    Kathy's heart softened. Her incredible climax was due to his giving everything he had. She doubted she'd pleased him nearly as much. But here he was, a helpless giant in her arms. Kathy wondered how much it had cost him to admit such a thing to someone he considered an enemy. “I'll never tell another living soul, Tearach. Even if every creature in these woods already knows it, I'll never say anything to anyone. I swear it on my life."
    Tearach's heart warmed. Kathy had no reason to make such an earnestly phrased promise. They were alone. Some part of her must care a little about him. But why ? He'd kidnapped her, brought her into a world of magic and myth. How in the world could she
