The Kagu's Charm

The Kagu's Charm

“Khale, that was cheating!” Cara yelled, watching as Khale stood from the fire he’d started with his fingertips, “You aren’t supposed to cheat!”

He grinned at her, his eyes sparkling, “You wanted me to use a lighter?”

Cara glared at him, trying to keep her smile hidden, “No, I wanted you to rub sticks together.”

Khale shrugged, “I’m using the talents given to me.”

She charged him, her giggles escaping as she closed in and gave him a playful shove, “We are supposed to be laying low, not using our Immortal powers to alert every other supernatural being to our presence!”

He caught her in a bear hug, pulling her into his chest until his mouth hovered above her ear, “Does that mean we shouldn’t have that amazing Immortal sex we are both craving?”

Her nipples hardened instantly, her womb contracted, and her body temperature rose, “Surely that wouldn’t alert anyone,” she whispered against his smooth skin.

He chuckled, “Baby, the way you smell when you get off on my cock is enough to alert anything with a sense of smell within a hundred miles.”

Cara gasped, feigning surprise, “Are you saying I stink?”

Khale shook his head, “Oh no, Sweetheart, when you come, you smell like heaven. It’s like ambrosia. I can never get enough of it.”

Cara grinned. She’d heard this all before. He loved the way she smelled, almost as much as she loved his scent. It was part of their mating, the meshing of their individual pheromones and scent-marks. Together, when they joined their bodies, the fragrance was intoxicating to each of them. It was an aphrodisiac of its own.

“You think they’d know it was us?”

“Cara, honey, anyone that can smell that, knows their King and Queen just got done have mind-blowing sex!”

Pulling away from him, she looked up into his face, “Are you trying to tempt me, Khale?”

He laughed, planting a tender kiss on her brow, “Trust me, Queen, when I try to tempt you, you won’t have to ask.”

Cara stood dumbfounded as he released her and turned his attention to the tent they’d been given. Supposedly, it was huge, but as he held it in its little bag, she had a hard time believing they’d both fit into it. “Did you really just walk away from me that way?”

He looked at her over his shoulder, winked, “Are you feeling neglected already?”

She growled at him, her eyes glowing irredescent blue, before stomping into the tree line to find more sticks. That was her assignment, to keep enough brush their fire wouldn’t go out. How fun was that?

She tromped through the thick weeds, her eyes scanning the ground for fallen limbs. She really couldn’t believe she’d let them talk her into this. It would have been much easier to reserve a hotel room for the next couple nights. Instead, here she was, in the middle of nowhere, unaware of what was going on at home.

She bent down, reaching for a large piece of bark she was sure would burn when a noise to her left stilled her. It sounded like laughter, but the pitch was off. It was high, too high, and almost a perfect cackle. It wasn’t human, yet, she’d never heard an animal make that sound either.

She looked around, her better than perfect night vision kicking in as she searched her surroundings. She saw nothing moving, nothing out of place, but… the laughter was behind her, a shrill mocking that made her cringe.

“Khale,” she cried, her voice carrying through the night, as she turned a full circle, looking for the predator.

She heard Khale at the same time she picked up his scent, he was closing in fast. “What is it?”

She shook her head, “I’m not sure.”

He cocked his head, “Well?”

Color rose in her cheeks, “I heard laughing.”

Eyebrows rising, Khale looked around, his eyes intent. A sudden burst of laughter caught his attention and he turned quickly, his focus in the trees above them. “Cara, it’s a Kagu!”

“A what?”

“A Kagu. An Immortal bird.”

Staring at him, Cara shook her head, “Never heard of it.”

Khale laughed, “They are the only Immortal birds in existence, unless you count the Pheonix. They are supposed to bring certain charms to Immortals. They are often thought to be a rare Caledonian bird, but the truth is that they just aren’t seen around other parts of the world because people don’t look. They don’t know what they are seeing.”

“What charm do they bring,” she asked as she looked up into the trees where he pointed.

Leaning into her, his lips brushed her collar bone, “Fertility.”

She turned her face into his, “Fertility, huh?”

He answered her with a kiss. His lips brushed hers softly, and she could taste smoke on him. The rich flavor added to his natural essence and she savored the treat.

He pulled back, his thumb tracing her jawline, “I got the tent up, come see.”

She giggled, “How much superpower did you use?”

With a quick swat to her rear, he took off back towards their camp, “None, smartass. I put it up the human way.”


Cara laid naked on the feather bed inside the tent. She’d really had no idea it would be this big inside. It was two rooms; they’d set their bed up in the larger of the two and piled their bags and cooler in the other. After eating a pot of chili Khale had made over the fire, and taking another walk through the woods for kindling, Cara had retired to the tent while Khale checked the area around them.

She could still hear the Kagu outside, its laughter haunting the silence. Fertility? Perhaps it was trying to tell them something.

“You shouldn’t think so hard, Love, it makes you defenseless.”

She jumped at the sound of Khale’s voice. He’d come into the tent, removed his clothing, and stood over her, speaking before she’d realized he was there. “You did the Immortal walk thing, didn’t you?”
He chuckled, “No. What were you thinking about?”

She stared up at him, wetting her lips with her tongue when her gaze fell upon his rising shaft. “I was just thinking how delicious you are.”

“Delicious?” He closed the final space between himself and the bed, standing tall and proud within arm’s reach.

She reached out slowly, wrapping her fingers around his growing thickness. “Yes, succulent.” She tilted her face up slightly, looking into his eyes, “I’d like to taste you now.”

He nodded, threading his fingers into the blond curls framing her face.

Cara’s mouth turned upwards, her eyes glittering before she turned her attention to his throbbing shaft. As her hand drifted from base to tip, his flesh tightened around the trembling rod. She leaned in, slowly, knowing he watched her from above as her tongue snuck from her mouth and circled the inflated mushroomed head.

His sharp intake of breath encouraged her and she parted her lips, drawing him into the tight cavern. Applying suction, she took him in, forcing herself to accept him until the hard tip touched the back of her throat. She withdrew, her lips tight around him.

“I love your tight little mouth around me,” he whispered as he directed her to take him in again. She obliged him, filling her mouth with him and curling her tongue around him. He groaned, rocking his hips slowly to find a rhythm. “Don’t think I’m going to come for you yet, Love. I want to be between your legs, not your lips, when I come.”

Cara nodded, accepting his quiet demands as she made love to him with her mouth. She loved the way he tasted – musky, salty, a flavor she’d never taste anywhere else. She felt the tension in him, the pulse on the underside of his length. She pulled back, licking her lips, “I want you inside me, Khale.”

Falling back on the bed, her arms spread out at her sides, she smiled up at him, “I want you to fill me, Khale, I need you.”

He bent over her, his lips a mere breadth from hers, “That, my love, is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.”

His lips grazed hers before skimming down the slender slope of her neck and across her breast. Her back arched as he took one nipple into his mouth, the heat a welcome change from the cool air that filled the tent.

Nudging her legs further apart, Khale wedged himself between them, nestling his firm cock against her core. She was wet, dripping, and he slid between her slick folds, seeking entrance. He rolled her nipple between his teeth, his hands tracing her ribs. Goose bumps rose on her skin, and a thin sheen of sweat covered her body.

The head of his prick stroked her clit, and she cried out, her body quivering in anticipation. He repeated the motion, fondling her until she cried out and her juices flowed freely. He released her breast, rising above her and positioning his cock at her entrance as her body shook. He stared down into her face, her eyes squeezed shut, her lips slightly parted. Her breath came quickly, her chest rising and falling with each pant. She was beautiful there, caught in the throes of passion.

With one fierce thrust, Khale penetrated her, sinking himself wholly into her scorching sheath. She clenched around him, the walls of her pussy drawing him in deeper than he thought possible as she tilted her hips and wrapped her legs around him.

“You feel so good,” she told him, her hands wandering across his chiseled chest.

Her voice was husky, drenched in passion. His cock throbbed at the sound of it and he retreated, pulling himself slowly from her warmth before pounding back into her. He bent his head to hers, taking possession of her lips as he withdrew again. He drove his tongue into her mouth at the same time he plunged back into her.

She screamed, her body convulsing as another orgasm racked her. He slammed into her, over and over again, his tongue mimicking his movement. He was on fire. His entire body was humming as her scent mingled with his and filled his nostrils. The honey-vanilla fragrance swept into his body, like a drug it infiltrated him and he felt drunk.

Cara met each thrust, her excitement peaking when his cock pulsed with warning. He increased his speed, ramming into her savagely as his own orgasm rocked him. She dug her nails into his shoulders as she joined him, her cries rising above his. He collapsed on top of her, his body warm and damp, and smothered her face with kisses.

“I love you,” she whispered, caressing his back.

“And I love you, Mi Cara,” Khale answered as he rolled off of her and pulled her against him, curling her into his body.

She sighed, “Do you think the Kagu charmed us?”

“I hope so,” he grunted, yawning, “Sleep, Sweetheart, the sun comes early.”

Cara smiled to herself, perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad to have a little replica of Khale running around. “Maybe we should try again tomorrow, make sure we use the Kagu’s charm as much as possible.”

“Cara! Go to sleep you little imp,” he growled.

Giggling, Cara snuggled into him, her eyes growing heavy. Tomorrow was another day, and if the Kagu was truly a charmer, she’d get as much use out of it as possible.
