He pushed deeper.

The sound her throat made was dense and wet and continuous—’PHAALP—PHAACKK’—the specific sounds of a passage being required to do something it had done before but not yet completely adapted to. His cock pressed down her throat, the bulge of him visible from outside—the column of her neck distending where the shape of him moved through it, the skin pressing outward as he advanced.

She could feel her oesophagus.

She had never had occasion to feel her oesophagus before. She was feeling it now, comprehensively, in real time, as it was asked to accommodate something it had not been built to accommodate in the original architectural specification and was learning to accommodate through direct instruction.

Her hands went to his thighs.

Not pushing. Her hands had tried pushing before and had learned that pushing produced no change in the relevant variables. They gripped his thighs instead with the particular grip of someone who needs something structural to hold while everything else is in motion.

His hips moved.

’PHAALP—PHAALP—PHAACKK—’

The sounds were wetter than the first time. Her throat had done some adaptation over the course of the earlier sessions—opened incrementally, learned incrementally—and now his cock was moving through it with the dense, full-length slide of something that the passage had made compromises for.

Her eyes were above the waterline.

Rolling.

The whites came every time his hips reached her face—every time his cock was fully seated, fully past her throat’s bend, the full length of him inside her—her eyes going to their involuntary upward-left extreme, the whites showing at the edges, before he withdrew and they came back.

’PHAALP.’

Her eyes rolled.

’PHAALP.’

Returned.

’PHAACKK.’

She was making a continuous sound around him—not voluntary, not shaped, just: the ongoing broadcast of a body occupied past its comfortable capacity, a wet and muffled sound that was the only output channel currently available to her.

Saliva was running freely.

Down her chin. Down her neck. Into the water at her collarbone. The corners of her mouth stretched wide around his girth, the fluid there catching the afternoon light where it reached the pool through the rock walls above them.

He held her hair like a handle. Because that was what it was.

He was thorough.

He was not in a hurry.

He was—she would not articulate this thought, she was absolutely not going to articulate this thought, it was going to exist in the register labeled ’things I will address later’ alongside the other several hundred entries from this afternoon—he was ’precise.’ Not random. Not just force. He was moving with the specific, deliberate attention of a man who has identified exactly what produces the correct response and is producing it with systematic consistency.

Her throat bulged.

Her nose.

When he reached a certain depth, when the full length of him was past her throat’s turn and into her oesophagus, something warm and dense began to arrive—the particular warmth that she recognized from inside her cunt and that was now arriving through a different anatomical route entirely. It filled her food pipe in a rush—she felt it moving ’down,’ felt the column of heat descending through her chest, felt it reaching her stomach with the warmth of something that had been very recently in the interior of a man with an Immortal Physique.

And from her nose—thin rivulets, warm and white, running down from her nostrils, the pressure of what was filling her finding the only outlet the geometry permitted.

Her eyes were completely white.

Both of them. All the way. The pupils invisible.

Her hands on his thighs had stopped gripping. They rested there. She was beyond the coordinated muscle function required for gripping.

His hand in her hair held her in place. Through the last of it. Through the full delivery, her throat working involuntarily to move what was being delivered downward—not by choice but because the throat does what the throat does when it is in this situation.

Then he withdrew.

Slowly. The withdrawal tracking back up her oesophagus, through her throat’s turn, across the back of her mouth, past her teeth—each phase of the withdrawal a reversed sequence of the entry, her throat’s adapted passage registering each inch.

When the head cleared her lips, she—

Collapsed forward.

She caught herself on her elbows in the water, her face close to the surface, coughing—the reflexive clearing of a passage that had been occupied past its standard operating parameters. The cough produced sounds. The sounds were not dignified. She did not have the resources to care about dignity.

She was on her elbows in a mountain pool.

Coughing.

Her throat felt—restructured. Like something had run through it and left its shape behind. Warm. Dense. The warmth of him still moving down through her chest, settling.

Her eyes were streaming. Not crying—the involuntary production of tears by eyes that had been asked to roll to their extremes too many times in succession and were now producing fluid as a physiological by-product of the whole experience.

She became aware of something.

He was still here. Still standing. His breathing was—

Even.

She became aware that his breathing was even. That the man who had been doing what he had been doing for however many hours—four, five, the number was genuinely unclear and the imprecision offended her even now—was breathing with the comfortable, unremarkable evenness of someone who had taken a short walk.

She looked up.

His cock, withdrawing from her, had already decided about its orientation. Still standing. Still entirely committed to being what it was.

She looked at this.

She looked at his breathing.

She looked at his face.

He was looking at the mountain to the northeast.

He reached down.

His hand found her hair again—not pulling this time, just: gathering it out of her face, one large hand moving the wet mass of it aside with the practical efficiency of someone clearing an obstruction.

His golden eyes came down from the mountain’s ridge line to her face.

She looked up at him from her elbows in the water. Wet. Thoroughly marked. The tears still running from the corner of her eyes. Something warm and white at the corner of her nostril. Both her previous anatomical territories comprehensively renegotiated.

His cock hanging between them, heavy and satisfied.

He said—conversationally, the voice of a man remembering a previously scheduled appointment:

"’Let’s meet the mercenary queen. Now that I’ve had lunch.’"

She stared at him.

The words arranged themselves in her head slowly. Her brain was operating with reduced bandwidth, redistributing resources from non-critical systems. It took several full seconds for the words to complete their journey from her ears to the part of her that could respond.

When they arrived, the response assembled itself.

She opened her mouth.

He was still holding her hair loosely at the back of her head. The proximity of his cock to her face was—the proximity had not changed.

She looked at it.

Looked at his face.

Looked at the mountain he was still casually regarding to the northeast.

’You—’

She tried to form it. ’You bastard.’ Two words. The words that had opened her vocabulary today and had been there through everything and were the most honest two words she had for this man and this entire sequence of events. She was going to say them. She was going to say them with everything she had, with the full remaining force of every scruple and conviction she still possessed—

His grip in her hair tightened. Incrementally. Not cruelly.

The head of his cock pressed against her lower lip.

Just rested there. The weight of it, soft pressure, the heat of it at the corner of her mouth.

"’Mnn—’"

The sound came out muffled. Her lips were against the head of him, the words she’d assembled pressing against that barrier and going nowhere.

"’Nmm—mmf—’"

She was trying to say it. She was absolutely, definitively saying it. The consonants were all there—’y, b, s, t, r, d’—she had them arranged, she knew where they went—

Her eyes went wet.

Not from the anatomy of the previous activity. Something else. The specific, involuntary moisture of eyes that are doing something other than producing tears from external irritation.

She looked up at him.

He was looking down at her.

His cock against her lip. Her eyes spilling over. Her throat still warm with him. Seven feet of Stone bloodline, giantess-descended, bronze-body-cultivated, assembled contempt and hard-won pride—looking up at a man who had bought her with someone else’s money and had lunch and was now going to an appointment.

She tried, one more time, with everything:

"’Mmf—mmmf—’"

Her eyes were completely wet now. Running over. The tears tracing down her face, catching at her jaw, dropping into the water.

"’...ngh—mn—you—’"

She couldn’t.The syllables were there. The intention was there. The structural support for producing voiced consonants past the head of his cock against her lips was—Not there.

She looked at his face and felt the tears going and heard herself producing sounds that were not you bastard and were in fact much closer to the territory of sounds she had been making for the last several hours, and—She said nothing.

She was, for the first time today, completely without language.

He looked at her for a moment.Then removed his cock from her lip. Released her hair. Let the wet mass of it fall around her face and simply said.

"Were you saying something?", His words felt more like teasing than genuine care, as his hands gripped her breasts as if trying to pinch her nipple for the last time, causing her clearly ravaged body to twitch while she simply said muffled words.

"Unnnh..."
