Chapter 214 - Tangled in heat(18+)

The heat in the nest hadn't really faded, just slowed, like embers under silk waiting for a breath to spark them again. Allen stood amid the sprawl of tangled limbs, glistening skin, and torn webbing, his breath steady, but his body still hard, still slick with the night's work. The brood's eyes never left him. Even the ones collapsed against the walls kept watching through half-lidded stares, as if his shadow alone might pull them back into the frenzy. Lyssra was still in his lap when he shifted her off him, the sticky sound of their separation making a few nearby sisters shiver. She settled to the floor, her human half flushed and boneless, her abdomen twitching faintly as strands of silk trailed from her spinnerets.
