WIP Wednesday - Clan Companions: Matthew

 A bid for comfort veers to other things

It was late when Matt had the opportunity to speak to Kom alone. The Nobek was in the kitchen, rooting in what Kalquorians called a cooling unit, a refrigerator in Matt’s vernacular.

Matt wasn’t sure why he was shy to speak his request in Avir’s and Masok’s hearing. They knew he needed help sleeping, and he was supposed to use medication every few nights. Nonetheless, he cringed at the thought.

“Hey. I was wondering if I can take a sedative tonight.” He kept his tone light, pretending it was no big deal. It shouldn’t have been, but he couldn’t shake the sense he was weak for having to rely on medication.

“Yeah, it’s been a couple nights. Shit, we need to get you more, don’t we? How much do you have left?” Kom closed the unit’s door, the roasted haunch of some animal clutched in his fist. He looked barbaric, and Matt’s cock stirred. Any hint of Kom being feral excited him.

He cleared his throat. “Plenty. A month’s worth.”

“Good. Talking about parents got to you?”

“I’m fine, but the reminder of him tends to make the nightmares worse.”

“My offer to go to Mercy Colony and put him out of your misery still stands.” There was no sign of humor from Kom. Matt half-believed he’d indeed snap his father’s neck if the opportunity arose.

His thoughts were heavy so close to bedtime, aided by a sedative or not. “You’re sexy in beast mode, you know.”

“Am I?” The sudden heat in Kom’s eyes woke arousal despite the conversation they’d been having. So much so, that when the Nobek’s hand cupped Matt’s crotch, he found him semi-hard.

Kom returned the roast meat to the fridge, rubbing the squirming human the whole while. Matt’s gaze skipped to the doorway leading to the corridor. “Stop.”

“Your monster isn’t here, pretty man. Avir and Masok are, though. Maybe they’ll come in to find me snacking on sweet Earther cock.” Kom pulled open the crotch of Matt’s pants and reached in for him.

“Don’t.” Matt couldn’t shut off the protests despite there being nothing to be afraid of.

“I will, and you can’t stop me. Fight me, if it’ll help you cope with those fears. It excites me anyway. Make me work for it, but you’ll come for me, little man. You always do.”

 

Edits are done, and formatting has commenced! I hope to have pre-order information for you next week. Release date: February 10, 2023. 

His past demons have returned, and only a Kalquorian clan can save him.

Matthew Larsen should be happy. Reunited with the Nobek he fell in love with years ago, welcomed into a clan determined to give him a better life, he has everything he never imagined possible. However, he’s haunted by the hellish past and certainty it will reclaim him.

Nobek Kom spent years searching for Matt. Their reunion and his clanmates’ acceptance of the troubled Earther seemed to be all that stood in the way of the perfect future. His Earther love isn’t so easily rescued, however. Even a warrior can’t protect someone against his nightmares.

Dramok Avir and Imdiko Masok are devoted to the beautiful Earther Kom brought home. Loving such a gentle soul isn’t a problem. Saving him from monsters, real and imagined, is another matter when Matt’s worst fears come true and the terrors of the past rise once again to drag him into the abyss.
