Summary
Safety and survival are all that matter to Israel Hands. He warms the captain's bed for the protection it will afford him. Ben wants to protect him too -- and more.
Ben regards Israel with serious, slit-pupiled eyes. “An octopus hen cares for her eggs in a nest. The male dies after mating. The female, after the eggs hatch.” Israel keeps moving his hand, but if it’s meant to be dirty talk, it’s kind of missing the mark for him. “A Kraken, of course, is not the same as an octopus. We can have many healthy clutches with our mates, over our lifetimes.” Israel nods again. More of Ben’s tentacles slide over his body, and he lets his hand fall to the side. Ben takes it in his own hand, holding it like a precious thing as the tentacles caress him and his eyes flutter closed. “My kind has something of a… symbiotic relationship with humans. When I brought you to my cabin, I had hopes,” Ben says. “But now I know. You’ll be a beautiful hen for me.”

“I’m not afraid,” he says, looking up into Ben’s eye. It’s mostly true. He isn’t afraid for his life, but his heart thrashes against his ribs as his reality rearranges itself around Ben yet again, somewhere between overwhelm and awe.

Summary
Izzy is a monk on an island whose society relies on Kraken protection and treats them as gods. The island's religion centers on them, especially their breeding ritual, in which one monk or nun is selected to be their Vessel. Those who survive the process experience visions under the Krakens' mind-altering aphrodisiacs, and are elevated in the society as high priests/priestesses.
It is the greatest honor of Izzy's life to be chosen.
