The spiders Bride (completed)

chapter 15

“Wake up little moth, you've been sleeping far too long~” Ezrian whispered, amused.

Groaning, I opened my eyes, quickly adjusting to the dimly lit cave. “There you are~ How did you sleep?”

Ezrain combed his fingers through my hair as I turned my head to see him lying on his side next to me. “How long was I out?”

humming he stroked his chin with one hand while continuing to comb my hair with another and supporting himself with his other two arms.

“Well, night had fallen a while before our coupling so you've been asleep the entire night and most of the day, it's currently late in the afternoon. I would have let you sleep longer but you need to eat and drink something.” 

As he said this Ezrian brought a cup of water up to my lips which I gladly took a sip from and drank down.

“Thanks.” as he set the bowl aside I attempted sitting upright only to feel a strange shifting in my belly. “ah?-”

My hand moved to my stomach and I noticed a bit of a bulge just below my belly. “Careful, your body is going to take a few days to adjust.” he mused.

“ha- you don't say? I'm not so sure I will ever adjust to this feeling…” I replied sarcastically.

“In time you should, after the first few clutches your body is sure to get accustomed to this.” he placed his hand over mine as my brain took a moment to process his words.

“Wait first few– what?!” I exclaimed a bit panicked. 

“Clutches? This would be the first of many of the offspring we will have together,” he said all too happily.

“How many children are you expecting us to have?!”

“Not too many!” he put his hands up in surrender. “I understand humans don't tend to bear many children in their lives due to the strain it puts on their body, us arachne’s and spiders however usually have hundreds of offspring since the chance of survival isn't very high but that's usually due to cannibalism and the lack of guardianship. Since I'm not going to get eaten by another Arachne I can safely provide food for our offspring once they hatch and this place will provide them shelter, increasing their odds of survival tenfold! so I think maybe a few dozen churches would be enough!~” he said cheerfully.

I, on the other hand, deadpanned at his response. “a few dozen!?”

“Yes, I wanted at least a hundred myself but that would most likely be too strenuous on your body.” he sighed dramatically.

My mind was running a mile a minute as I tried to comprehend Ezrians words, trying to decipher if it was all a joke or not. something told me it wasn't.

Putting my hand on his chest I pushed myself upright and shook my head, confusing Ezrian. “You can't just make that decision on your own!”

He blinked, seeming clueless as to what the problem was and merely tilted his head. “Do you not agree with the number?”

“no! I don't! a couple dozen is too much! I can't take care of or handle that many kids, much less birth them!” 

At this point Ezrian turned over, righting himself as he sat before me. one of his hands cupped my face as he held my hands in his. “The children will care for themselves much like how I did, the only difference will be they will be fed and sheltered, you need not do anything more for them little moth unless you want to.”

“Okay but that still doesn't fix the other issue, my body isn't meant to carry or lay eggs… one clutch already seems like alot to handle.” 

“I haven't forgotten the difference between us wren, I would not do anything that would harm you nor risk your life, you've seen the mountain of books I've collected over the years, many of them are about humans I've learned and researched as much as I could about your kind.”

Sighing I leaned into Ezrians touch. “You can't go based on books alone, all humans are different, how about we take it slow, we start with these ones and when I'm ready then we can have another ‘clutch’. depending how I feel after that then we can decide on having another… and so on.”

He hummed before smiling and leaning in to press his forehead against mine. “I suppose that is only fair. but it will be hard to control myself around you when you aren't full of my eggs, I've had a taste of your body and crave it more than ever…”

My cheeks heated as I gazed into Ezrians lust-filled eyes. “w-well surely there's other ways to satisfy each other without pumping me full of eggs?”

“Hmm, I suppose but what fun would that be? and if I remember correctly, you have other holes I could fill, do you not?” he leaned in closer and I quickly put my hands on his shoulders as my face turned red. 

“no! you can't just put your eggs wherever you want! because they won't be able to hatch or grow if you put them there! it would be a waste and won't be ideal for my body!”

“it doesn't matter if I don't fertilize them. I have plenty to spare, they most likely would just be digested and absorbed by your body if you do not expel them.”

“You're not putting any more eggs in me!” I declared, making Ezrian laugh and pull away. 

“you're too fun to tease!” standing up he grabbed my hands and pulled me to my feet. “fine, I'll stop teasing you for now

and get you some food.”

huffing I put one hand over my stomach feeling a shift from the eggs moving around inside. “Can you also get me some clothes? I feel like if I move around too much these things might just slip out of me.”

Ezrian smiled before patting the top of my head. “Fear not, they won't be coming out until they are ready. As for the clothes, I don't see any reason for you to wear any, you look far more enticing without them!” he said matter of factly as he began walking us out of the cavern.

“That's precisely why I want them, I can't just walk around naked all the time, it's not ideal!”

“sounds perfectly ideal to me, no pesky clothes means i get to admire your delicious body any time I'd like!~” he shrugged.

“Jezz, were you always such a pervert?” I sighed. 

“not always I just so happened to stumble across a specific variety of books with some ‘interesting’ topics within the pages that I came to admire and enjoy~”

I nearly faltered in my steps and looked toward Ezrian suspiciously. “I thought you only read books to learn about humans and other stuff about the world? exactly what kind of books are you referring to?”

Ezrian all bust smirked as he leaned in and whispered in my ear. my face immediately heated as he listed off a number of erotic stories, some of which I had only heard about in passing. 

“what!? Why are you reading such books! and where did you even get such literature!? those stories aren't even sold in normal book stores!” Ezrian laughed before scooping me up off the ground, and into his arms.

“Are you that interested little moth? Perhaps I'll let you borrow a few of my favorite pieces! I'm sure we could even replicate a few scenes! I've always wanted to try shibari!”

I squeaked and struggled to escape his hold as he carried me off through the tunnel. “you're joking right? and don't tell me your human anatomy sessions came from these kinds of books!”

Ezrian rubbed his face against mine like one would with a puppy as he carried me bridal style. “oh we're going to have so much fun together!~”

“Ezrian!?”
