"Now, my lady," said the priestess. "You will come to no harm. You will suffer no pain. But please, only do not offend him."
The words were probably not as comforting as the priestess meant them to be. She could only imagine what the bride was going through, so suddenly brought to the temple, bathed, anointed with scented oils, prayed over for nearly three hours, and now escorted to the chamber of her husband, the Lord. The priestess had never even been alone with him, much less touched him, but she had faith in the benevolence of the Lord all the same.
One could only imagine that such faith wouldn't be of much comfort to an outsider.
The Lord dwelled in the top of the tower, alone, as always. That would change soon, as would he. They stopped before the grand white doors, where the priestesses all said one more prayer together, then opened the door and ushered Ardan inside.

Still, though he slowed, he did not stop, continuing to move in and out of her while his other tendrils touched her. Something was stirring within him. Her essence, mingling with his own, already doing things to him. He'd never known sensations like this. Never known any sensations at all, really, but it felt as though some new thing was forming within him, like a pearl forms within an oyster (a metaphor he would not understand at all.) He was gaining things. After an existence marked by nothing but absorbing what he was told, things were happening inside him on their own.
The ritual was nearly finished. He need only... well. They said there would come a point when her body would "climax," though he had no idea what that meant. Only that it would provide him more of her essence and seal their bond as husband and wife, that he might begin to change. But he was already changing. How would he know when he was through?
One new change rumbled from deep within the mass, suddenly. It started as low as a cat's purr, then grew into an almost moaning roar. The utter silence of the Lord shattered as his new voice erupted from within, grew to nearly ear-piercing volume, then broke away. He looked almost startled by it, slowing his thrusts again for a moment. The orange eyes blinked for the first time. Then his tendrils lifted her hips, tilting her body for an easier entrance to continue taking her.

...And suddenly he was slowing. The limb still pushed itself inside of her, still stretched her in ways that made her ache, but - he was slower, gentler once again. Her eyes slid open. Above her, within the dome of his shadows that made up her entire world, she could see the big, emotionless orange circles of his eyes. They were at an angle, cocked the way one might cock one's head out of curiosity. She'd seen him do this before, but she had not been sure then if he really had been feeling any emotion so human as curiosity then. She gulped in a breath of air gratefully as he slid out of her, let her hips and thighs relax slightly toward the altar beneath her while his tentacle was not forcing them upward at an angle. She breathed deeply, staring up at the eyes that really did look like they were curious about something. What was he wondering about? What had made him look this way at her? What had made him slow down? Was it that she had cried out - that she was in pain?
She gasped through her teeth again as he thrust inward, renewing the pressure. Her hips canted upwards, her toes and fingers curled as the girth of his limb passed through the raw muscle of her entrance and sank in, rubbing against the sore remains of her hymen and opening her more and more deeply. She latched her fingers around the tentacle that still lay under her hand. She was not certain if it was meant to be comforting her, or even if she'd hurt him by digging her fingernails into its smooth, black flesh. She was not certain if he would take kindly to her moving it, or if he would take her direction as an affront and start hurting her again for it. But he might be curious about her, and so she had to try. She let her knees close briefly as he slid out of her once more, the lithe shadow-flesh and muscle more easily out past her inner labia. She moved her hand to try and lift the tentacle -
When the rumbling started. Out of nowhere, out of everywhere at once, all around her tiny world made up of his shadows, a low, thrumming sound. It reverberated through the stone altar, reverberated through her flesh, made her already hard nipples pebble and her throat work to swallow. It vibrated against her back, her legs, through her hips, made her pelvis thrum as he began the long thrust back inside of her. His tentacle was humming with the reverberation, her body was moving in counterpoint, her muscles pulsed and vibrated minutely against him as he penetrated her. She was pinned down under his weight, the rumbling was getting louder, louder, it was hurting her ears; his limb was pushing into her until her muscles stretched and screamed against him, her entrance fluttered around him and she was helpless against the wrench of pain it caused inside. She lifted her hand from the tentacle that she had been holding and was about to strike it hard with the palm of her hand to make him stop -
Then, as suddenly as it had started, the noise stopped. She stared up at the orange eyes above her, frightened of the sheer size of her husband, the fact that a mere noise from him could have hurt her. Her hips flattened briefly against the altar again as he pulled out of her but her heart continued to pound, her breathing was still uneven and her body remained taut. Had he been rebuking her for trying to move him? Had he wanted her to continue to lie still until he was finished with her?
But then the huge orange eyes blinked. She would have assumed she was imagining it, had her senses not been sharpened to a needlepoint on his every movement: just for a fraction of a second the eyes had gone dark against his shadow, then in the next fraction of a second they had popped into existence again, sunset orange. He had blinked his eyes, like a living human. She tensed again he gave another thrust inwards, rocking her hips back with momentum, opening her for him by another tiny, aching measure. Then she gasped aloud as two other tentacles wrapped their smooth muscle around her hips and tilted them up, canting her back at a sharper angle, lifting her legs so that they were spread wide and her feet hung in the air. She could see where their bodies connected now over the plane of her body; the tentacle shone with her wetness as it slipped halfway out. When it thrust in again it moved faster, deeper: she threw her head back against the altar with a soft cry as the soreness inside of her flared from the friction. She wanted him to stop, wanted to tell him he was hurting her in words he would understand.
Breathing hard, she lay her hand back on the tentacle that she had been gripping. Gently, carefully, she wrapped her fingers around it; if he would let her, she would begin to lift it and move it down her body. She stared up into his eyes, biting her lip as another thrust rocked through her. She spoke in a breathless whisper.]
Ah- Please...?
