Kieran stared wide-eyed as Drex abruptly pulled Karin into a long, passionate kiss. The two stood locked, and the sight left Kieran utterly stunned.
Now, truly imagining having a Drex as a Beast, a wave of pure terror washed over him.
'Yeah, I'll definitely leave that for later,' Kieran thought, clearing his throat slightly as the kiss dragged on for what felt like an agonizing minute. Their tongues twisted and tangled, and Kieran was surprised Karin could even sustain the intensity.
'That's not what I'm talking about, you idiot!' Alexa's voice snapped, echoing in his mind. 'Drex don't have a fixed gender; they pick one based on their master's preference. But that's irrelevant right now.'
'Oh? So what is it then?' Kieran asked, regaining his focus.
The two finally separated from the kiss. Almost immediately, Galand and Vesha rushed forward, ready to catch Karin. She looked visibly weaker, alarmingly pale, and had to lean heavily on them to keep from falling.
