She glanced over her shoulder just as he lunged forward, closing the remaining distance between them. Before she could get away, his strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, pulling her flush against his chest. Her laughter dissolved into a gasp as his warmth enveloped her, the heat of his skin igniting something primal within her.
“Caught you,” he growled against her ear, his voice low and rough, sending a shiver down her spine.
Lila giggled as she turned in his arms. “Not fair! You’re… unnaturally fast.” She tried to splash water at him, but he barely flinched, his gaze locked on hers with a burning intensity.
“You think you can escape me?” He smirked as his hands slid up her arms, his touch leaving trails of fire on her skin. “I’ve been waiting eighteen long years for you. You’re not getting away now.”
His words sent a jolt through her chest, a mix of exhilaration and tenderness that made her stomach flutter. Before she could reply, his mouth crashed down on hers, claiming her with a hunger that stole the air from her lungs. Lila melted into him, her hands tangling in his damp hair as their tongues met in a dance that felt both raw and inevitable. It was as though every moment of loneliness and every ounce of restraint he’d ever clung to, shattered in that single kiss.
“Draven,” she breathed when they finally pulled apart, her voice trembling with need. She wrapped her legs around his waist under the water, the friction of their bodies stirring a heat that threatened to consume her.
His hands slid down to grip her hips. “Tell me if you want me to stop,” he murmured, though his voice was thick with the same desperation she felt.
“Don’t stop,” she pleaded, her nails digging lightly into his shoulders. “I want you.”
His answering groan was a deep, rumbling sound that vibrated through her chest as his lips trailed down her neck, sucking gently on the sensitive skin until she gasped.
“You’re mine, Lila,” he whispered against her throat, the possessive edge in his voice sending a thrill through her. “Always have been. Always will be.”
Her head fell back as his mouth moved lower, capturing one of her nipples and teasing it with his tongue. She moaned, her fingers tightening in his hair as waves of pleasure rippled through her.
“Draven,” she whispered, her voice breaking as he moved to the other breast, lavishing it with the same attention.
His hands roamed her body, possessive and reverent, before one slid between her thighs. She gasped as his fingers found her most sensitive spot, his touch coaxing her arousal higher.
“You’re so responsive for me,” he growled, his breath hot against her skin.
She cried out as his fingers slipped inside her, thrusting in a rhythm that matched the movement of his tongue on her breasts. Her thoughts blurred, everything narrowing to the sensations he was pulling from her body. She felt like she was teetering on the edge of something vast and infinite, held there by the sheer force of his presence.
“Come for me, Lila,” he commanded, his voice rough with desire. “Let me feel you fall apart in my arms.”
And she did. Her orgasm crashed over her with powerful force, her body trembling as the pleasure consumed her. She clung to him, her cries echoing across the cove as he held her through it, his lips brushing against her ear in soothing murmurs.
When her racing heart finally began to slow, she rested her forehead against his, her breath ragged. “That was… amazing,” she whispered.
Draven chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. “You’re amazing,” he corrected, his arms tightening around her.
Lila smiled wide, her heart swelling with warmth as her legs remained wrapped around Draven’s waist in the warm water of the cove. The heat of their bodies pressed together, the way his strong hands held her hips, and the intensity in his brown eyes made her feel more wanted and alive than she ever had. She tilted her head back, the twin suns casting a golden glow over the secluded cove, and let out a contented sigh.
“Draven,” she murmured, her voice soft but firm, “I’m ready. I want you to claim me. Maybe not mark me yet, but…” She paused, searching his eyes for understanding. “Let’s take this first step. If things keep going this well, we’ll figure out the rest.”
His gaze darkened, a flicker of something primal flashing in his eyes. “Are you sure?” he asked, his voice rough but tender. “I don’t want to rush you. I can wait longer if you need.”
She cupped his jaw with her hand. “I’m sure. I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.”
Without another word, Draven lifted her effortlessly out of the water, his arms holding her securely as he carried her to the shore. The black sand was surprisingly soft beneath her back as he laid her down gently, his body hovering over hers like a protective shadow. His hands braced on either side of her, his muscular frame blocking out the light as he looked down at her with a mix of desire and reverence.
“You’re sure?” he asked again, his voice low and thick with need.
Lila reached down between them, her fingers wrapping around his hard cock. He let out a loud groan as she guided him to her slick entrance, her heart pounding in her chest. “I’m very sure,” she whispered, her voice trembling with anticipation.
He groaned again as he slowly pushed into her, inch by agonizing inch, stretching her in ways she’d never imagined. Thesensation was overwhelming—pain and pleasure mingling in a way that made her gasp. He was impossibly large, filling her completely, and yet it felt so right, as if their bodies had been designed for each other.
“You feel so good,” Draven breathed, his voice strained as he paused, giving her time to adjust. “So tight and so perfect.”
Lila wrapped her legs around his waist, pulling him closer and impossibly deeper. “Draven, please move,” she pleaded, her nails digging into his shoulders. “I can handle it.”
He obeyed, his thrusts slow and deliberate at first, drawing out every ounce of pleasure with each movement. But as her moans grew louder, he picked up the pace, driving into her with a rhythm that was both fierce and tender. The sound of their bodies meeting echoed across the cove, blending with their ragged breaths and gasps.
