“
How
about a pizza?” She said picking up the phone. “I’m
so tired of eating baked chicken and broccoli.”

“
Sure,
you call it in and I’ll pay.” He grinned.

Two
hours later, Gwar and Abigail sat on the couch, watching television.
“Yeah, I guess you could say I’m more of a couch potato
in my spare time. In between running my own business, working out a
few times a week and the occasional spa visit I don’t get out
much, but I don’t have to tell you that. What about you?”

“
I
live in Arachnocadia, a realm beyond this world and the next.”

“
How
are spiders able to shift into human form?” Abigail inquired.

“
Centuries
ago, when the world was young, Arachnianne, our creator breathed us
into existence.”

“
Is
she like a goddess or something?”

Gwar
nodded. “The Maiden of Destiny, daughter of Annaliak and
Ohmadin, god and goddess of Nosthoria grew bored with her weaving and
yearned to create something more elaborate.”

“
So
she created spiders?” Abigail asked enthusiastically.

“
She
gifted us with the ability to shift into human form. Like our
creator, we have the power to morph and walk between the realms.
Unfortunately, for us we cannot stay in human form for an extended
period of time. As spiders, we’re in constant danger. As unique
as we are, this realm proves dangerous to us. Humans have a tendency
to destroy that which is different.”

She
smiled. “Sounds like a beautiful fantasy.”

“
There’s
always a price to pay.” Gwar muttered.

“
What
do you mean?”

“
I’ve
been an immortal for far too long. Arachnianne has given me an
opportunity, but it comes with a price.”

“
What
kind of price?”

He
gripped her arm tightly. “You must become tolerant of spiders
Abigail, if you allow me, I’ll help you overcome your fears.”

Abigail
hung her head in shame. “I think I know what you mean.”
She looked him in the eye. “Then it’s no accident that
you’re here, is it?”

“
No,
it isn’t. Arachnianne intertwined our destines and sent me here
to help you have a better understanding of spiders and our purpose.
She linked us because she saw how we’ve searched our entire
lives for something to give us fulfillment.”

“
What’s
the price?” Abigail swallowed hard.

“
You’d
become a stone statue in her garden.”

“
She
can’t do that,” Abigail exclaimed. “Can she?”

Gwar
nodded. “If I should fail, I must remain immortal. I’d go
mad.”

“
I
suppose there are worse things in life.”

He
smiled before bending down to kiss her on the lips. “You’re
an intriguing person Abigail Mason, and I must say, I’m
completely taken with you.” Gwar reached over and tucked a
loose coil behind her ear.

“
You’re
so sweet, Gwar. I never would have guessed that there was so much
more to spiders. Although, I can’t say I won’t freak out
when I see one again. It’s just those eight legs and eyes that
makes me kinda…well uncomfortable.”

“
It’s
okay, change takes time. More importantly, you know what I am and
where I hail from.” He inhaled the coconut aroma in her hair.
“I’ve always loved the various scents you use on your
hair.”

“
Oh,
I’ve got major shrinkage today. My wash and go went from a
curly fro to a puffball.” She roared with laughter.

“
I
love all your versatile styles, but you should wear it down more
often. This look is so wild and free to me.” He reached out to
touch her hair, but recoiled it. “May I?” He asked.

“
Yes.”

Gently
he stroked her cheekbone with a slender finger before his hands
explored her thick, fluffy hair. With a sigh, he pulled her against
his chest, lightly massaging her scalp.

Abigail
closed her eyes, allowing herself to be consumed by Gwar’s
affectionate touch. She smiled and snuggled into his warmth and was
astounded by the way his heartbeat seemed to match hers.

For
several moments she dozed within the safety of his arms. When she
woke, she looked up to a smiling face. “What happened?”
She asked.

“
You
fell asleep.”

“
How
long?”

“
About
an hour, but I should be leaving. You’ve got work tomorrow and
you need to get some rest.” Gwar told her as he slowly walked
to the door.

It
was well past midnight, Abigail discovered with a pang of
disappointment. Oddly enough, she didn’t want him to leave, but
at the same token, she didn’t want to seem clingy.

“
You’re
right,” she said reluctantly. “I’d better hit the
sack.”

Gwar
bent down and kissed her gently on the lips. “I enjoyed
myself.”

“
Me
too. Hey, how can I get in touch with you?”

“
My
sweet Abigail, I’ll be around.”

With
that, he left. Closing the door, Abigail looked around the condo and
spied the flowers. It was amazing how such a small gesture made her
feel. The lovely bouquet warmed her heart and she cherished them.
Even so, something within her was amiss and she couldn’t put
her finger on it.

Realizing
her mistake, regret bubbled in her chest. Immediately, she wished
he’d return and damn the circumstances. She wanted him. A knock
at the door startled her.

“
Who
is it?”

“
It’s
me, Gwar.”

Wasting
no time, she flung the door open and he strolled in, shutting it
behind him.

“
How
did you know?” She asked.

“
We’re
intertwined.” He said breathlessly before picking her up in his
strong arms. “Are you sure this is what you want?”

“
Yes.
Make love to me, now.”

Chapter Six

Abigail
found herself trembling as Gwar gently removed her clothes. As he
made his way to the bed, his muscles flexed with each movement. She
gasped when she felt the bed dip from the weight of her soon to be
lover.

“
I’m
nervous as hell.”

He
touched her cheek lightly before kissing the tip of her nose. “Why?
Are you afraid you may completely lose yourself to me? Are you sure
this is what you want?”

She
nodded. “Yes.”

“
Don’t
be afraid Abby. I’ll never hurt you.” Gently, he spread
her legs and slipped between them. She arched her back when his lips
connected with her torso. Eventually, he worked his way down to the
place she wanted him most.

He
delivered several lashes of his tongue across the sensitive bud,
gently teasing it with a finger. Immediately, the building orgasm
claimed her. It had been a while since she came from the touch of a
man.

Abigail
trembled violently as Gwar’s tongue flicked over her swollen
lips, before parting them with a gentle thrust. She almost died when
he licked up towards her clit and gently circled it.

She
moaned, and fisted his thick mane while bucking madly against his
face. Holding his head in place, she shuddered while he continued
swirling his tongue around her bud, teasing her to a throbbing
erection.

The
fire inside her began to build faster as Gwar worked her harder.
Slowly, he slipped a finger inside her, making her groan with
pleasure. She gasped in short guttural breaths while he continued his
glorious finger work on her.

“
Oh
fuck, you’re going to kill me.” She managed the words
with slight difficulty. She shut her eyes, and her muscles clenched
before her body detonated. She opened her eyes when he eased a second
finger inside her.

Abigail’s
breath came in short gasps as she came, her body flooding with warmth
as her juices covered them both. The smile of satisfaction and her
cream saturating his face sent her spiraling into another round of
core clenching pleasure.

Gwar
withdrew his fingers and lifted his head. “More.” He
demanded before lowering his head between her legs again.

She
didn’t think she could stand the pleasure. “Oh no. Oh
no.” She cried out, trying to push his head away. Her words
died in her throat and her eyes rolled in the back of her head when
Gwar’s tongue slipped deep into her pussy.

He
wiggled it deep inside her for a while, making her bite her lip. “Oh,
I’m coming again!” She groaned. “Oh my…fuck!”
When the next set up of multiple orgasms waned, she collapsed. He
lapped her clit one last time, dragging another shuddering gasp from
her.

He
rose up on all fours, and he looked sexier than hell with her juices
clinging to his face. “You’re so damned sweet.”
His mouth slanted over hers, his tongue claiming hers, until she
melted. He ceased his kisses and looked her in the eye. “Will
you let me fuck and make love to you, sweet Abigail?”

She
tried sitting up, but he pinned her down. “Let me up please.”

“
Why
would you deny yourself the pleasure I want to give to you? Don’t
force me to cocoon you.”

“
She
didn’t want to think of cocooning. “You’d cocoon
me? Wrap me up and save me like a fly or something?”

“
You’d
enjoy it.” He swiped a finger beneath her chin, gently kissing
her lips. “Something tells me you’re a squirmer.”
He grinned wickedly.

He
planted another kiss on her, this time, seductively biting the flesh.
Her nipples beaded as he bathed her in sensual kisses. She’d
never experienced pleasure from just a kiss. But..this apparently was
no ordinary kiss. Gwar’s touch made her tingle from head to
toe, leaving her dizzy with lust.

“
Allow
me to bind your wrists. I know how much you like reading erotica
where the men tie the women up. I’d love to tie you up, making
you vulnerable to me. That excites you, no?”

She
narrowed her eyes at him. He knew she read erotica. Damn, he knew
more about her than she gathered. The entire experience was crazy and
exciting, but she liked it so much, she couldn’t control the
smile blossoming on her face.

Gwar
chuckled and rose to his knees. “Put your wrists together.”

“
Why?”

“
Just
do it.” He commanded softly. “I can be rough, or gentle.
You decide.”

Licking
her lips, Abigail raised her arms above her head. This should be
quite the experience. She wanted the gentle now, and the rough later.
Oh hell, she wanted it all! Who was she kidding?

“
Now…don’t
panic.”

“
Is
this going to be messy? Perhaps you should use my handcuffs.”

“
Lovemaking
is supposed to be messy.” He laughed. “But I don’t
need any of those contraptions you have tucked away in your closet to
restrain you.

Before
she could say anything, he waved his hand and soon her wrists were
bound in silk webbing. “Uh, Gwar?” She struggled, but the
webbing held. She couldn’t move. It was smooth and almost moist
to the touch at first, eventually hardening around the wrists.

Spread
for me, butterfly.” He licked his lips and explored her mound.
You must trust that I’ll never bring harm of any kind to you.”

When
she parted her thighs, Gwar slipped a finger inside her drenched
channel, bringing her close to another orgasm. “I. Own. You.”
He told her as he continued the delightful finger work on her. “You
are mine now. There will never be another.”

“
Ohmigod!”
Abigail lifted her hips off the bed at his actions and words, and
loved how he staked his claim on her. She watched as he removed his
finger and sucked on the digit. “Please, don’t make me
wait.” Her cunt contracted at the sight of him licking her
juices from his finger. Never in her life had she wanted anyone so
much.

“
I
thought you’d never ask.” He mounted himself above her,
rubbing his cock against her slick flesh. “Oh, Abby.” He
groaned. “You feel so good.” His voice became rough.
Before she could say anything, he slid in, slow, hard, and deep.
