The sound of water splashing carried on just a few feet away, alerting me to his presence. He stepped from the ocean,drenched in sea water, watching me as he breathed. I flashed him a sweet smile, my eyes on his body as he approached me, admiring his glorious physique. I could feel the desire in the air, thickening as he fell to his knees and crawled over me, sea water dripping onto my body.
My legs instinctively cradled him, wrapping around his waist as his arms pinned mine down into the sand. “You,” he breathed, staring into my eyes, “are beautiful.” My eyes began to water. The way he was looking at me, his heart racing alongside mine—it was something I had never experienced before, something I never wanted to lose. “I knew the moment I bit you, claimed you as mine, that there was something special about you, Delilah.” He swallowed. “And all I want to do right now is feel your body on mine, listen as you cry out, bite you until you bleed into my mouth and feed my desires. Icraveyou.”
I pressed my forehead into his. “Then do it,” I whispered. “Bite me. I dare you.”
Reef’s head rose as mine rested back against the sand. He grinned, his jaw tightening while his fingers intertwined with mine. He leaned forward, kissing me feverishly, our soft moans blending together. His mouth descended from mine, kissing my skin, trailing to my neck. He opened his jaw, biting into my skin. My body arched, gasping by the delightful pain, leaning further into his teeth. He pressed harder, pulling back before continuing to kiss me. His lips trailed to the exposed skin above my chest widening his mouth as he bit me again, this time harder. His teeth pierced my flesh, my veins bursting beneath the surface as a few small beads of blood formed, falling into his mouth. He licked the bitemark, his tongue swirling along my body until it reached the healing wound on my side. His mark.
Reef ran his tongue along the many puncture wounds from his teeth, caressing them sensually. My arms flexed, fighting his strength as he pinned me down into the sand. I wanted to lungeat him and feel every inch of his body, worship him endlessly. “Not tonight,” he spoke against my stomach, dragging my hands to my side, still firmly clasped in his.
“What?” I asked, lifting my head, confused.
“Tonight.” He glared up at me, staring as he kissed my lower abdomen, smiling. “I’m focusing on you.” He released my hands, removing my shorts and lingerie, gripping my thighs as his nails lightly dig into my skin. Reef nestled his face between my legs, kissing my inner thigh, running his tongue along my skin. I grabbed at the sand, squeezing it between my fingers, relishing in the way he made me feel. He opened his mouth, biting my inner thigh as I jumped and released a soft whimper. He laughed, his hot breath dancing along my center, wasting no time as he flicked my clit, circling it with just the right amount of force. He raised my legs, dropping them over his shoulders and grabbing my waist as he yanked me closer to him.
Reef’s tongue flicked my center, licking at my ever-growing wetness. My moans were uncontrollable, filling my lungs. “That’s right,” he moaned, slithering inside me with an immediate force. “Be a good girl and drown me in your bliss.” He pushed deeper, quickening his pace.
“Oh fuck. No,” I whined, unable to resist my climax, my thighs tightening around his neck, squeezing, as it washed over me, forcing me to come hard. “No!” I cried out, jolting, my body clenched around his tongue, contracting as I soaked his face. He continued, eagerly consuming me while I moaned, flinching with each swipe of his tongue, my heart rupturing with ecstasy. “Don’t stop,” I cried out selfishly, wanting more. “Please, Reef. Don’t stop.” My fingers tugged at his hair, pulling him closer.
Reef grunted, speaking between his thrusting tongue. “I’m going to devour every last drop of you.”
Yes.
SEVEN
DELILAH
My body ached,sore and tender after my night with Reef. Skating around town wasn’t exactly the most ideal choice, but Cherri finally had a day off and deserved a much-needed break from work. We had spent the morning skating around Golden Coast, dressed in our little shorts and halter tops, enjoying the summer weather. It was nice getting out, breathing the fresh air, and just living in the moment. For the first time in my life, I felt truly alive.
“Alright, the sex can’t bethatgood.” She giggled, pointing to my smile that hadn’t left my face all day. I looked at her, laughing as we sat on a bench, eating our ice cream. I flicked my finger through the swirl of whipped cream, sucking on it as I lifted my eyebrows and made a face. “Seriously?” she gasped, impressed. “Damn, girl, don’t let that one go.” We giggled, eating our dessert when Dale and my father suddenly appeared, dampening our cheery mood.
“Well, I must say. It’s nice to finally catch you away from the beach.” My smile quickly faded away. My father’s eyes squinted, starting at my neck. “What’s that?” he asked, pointing to Reef’shuman bite, still red and present on my skin. I quickly brushed my hair forward as Cherri cleared her throat and spoke up.
“What’re you doing out here, Chief? I thought you were meeting with the local fishermen again today?”
Dale snickered as my dad sighed, completely focused on her words. “I was. One of the guys claims he caught a shark just a few miles out, so we’re on our way to check it out.” My stomach dropped.
“Don’t get your hopes up, ladies,” Dale snapped. “I was just telling Chief Bailey that I don’t think it’s our killer shark.” I sighed, relieved.
“Why not?” Cherri asked, genuinely curious.
I could sense Dale was annoyed by the mere sound of her voice, his sexist views on full display. “Our shark is too smart to be caught. There’s no way it—”
“You.” We all turned to see a red eyed woman pointing directly at me. It was the girlfriend of the man who was attacked at the beach. “You!” she hollered, quickening her pace as she ran at me. Before anyone could react, the woman swung, punching me in the face as I dropped my ice cream and fell onto Cherri’s lap. “You fucking slut!” The woman continued to cry and scream as my dad tried to restrain her.
“Hey!” he yelled, breaking through to her. “Why don’t we go somewhere more private and talk, huh?”
“That slut is the reason my Lee is dead!” She fell into his arms, violently pounding her fists into his chest.
“Chief, you might want to get her out of here, ‘cause it’s my day off, and I’m not afraid to throw hands!” Cherri fumed.
“No, that’s alright, Cherri!” he grunted, stumbling as the woman sobbed. “I’ll take care of this. Dale, I’ll meet you down at the docks.” He shushed the woman as they shuffled away, random onlookers staring, wondering what just happened.
Cherri examined my swollen cheek with her hands, her ice cream tucked between her fingers as I rose, fighting back my temper. “Shit, that’s surely going to bruise. Let me see if I can get you some ice!” She stood, quickly skating away, tossing her dessert into the trash.
My fingertips tapped my cheek as it ached at the simple feel.Fuck. Dale shook his head, chuckling under his breath. “You always had a way with people, Delilah.” I spat at his feet, blood mixing with my saliva. He stared at me, a dark shadow casting over his face. “It’s nice seeing you bleed. Shows you’re actually human and not just some heartless skank.”Fucking Dale.“Say, I never noticed how distinct that lipstick of yours was. Pretty unique color, isn’t it?” I tried to not reveal my emotions, a flash of fear rippling through my gut. He stepped forward, leaning a little too close, running his index finger along my reddened cheek. “You always did swing both ways, didn’t you?”
My temper took control as I raised my leg, kicking my skate into his dick. Dale cried out, falling over as I stood and leaned over his crippling body. “You lay a finger on me again, and I’ll fucking kill you,” I growled.
Cherri rolled back, holding a bag of ice. “What the fuck happened?” she demanded.
