Orion saw the boat pull up and he raced forward eager to take his prize, ripping the other nagi out of his way. He grabbed one by the shoulder his claws digging into the skin, red painting the water and shoved her behind him. He grinned when he saw Damian start to sink. He grabbed the human's arm pulling their bodies flush together, his other palm burning his name into the human's shoulder, officially claiming him. Now he was his and none of the other nagi could fight his claim.

Orion admired his work, the sharp red lines and curves painting the human's skin. Then he slid his hand up into the boy's hair and pulled. He thrust his tongue into Damian's mouth, giving him the brief gift of breath.

He unlocked the gold chains, letting them sink into the sea. One of the other pathetic nagi would retrieve it and return it to the humans above, hoping that next time they'd be lucky enough to claim a bride. He admired his bride, brushing his fingers down his cheek. The boy was beautiful with gorgeous green eyes. Orion wondered what those eyes would look like later when he took him for the first time. The boy was a virgin, after all. That was part of the deal. Nagi didn't accept used goods. He smiled, showing rows of pointed teeth. He couldn't wait to bring him home.
