I pump my fingers harder now. Water is splashing everywhere. I watch as pleasure twists her features.
“That’s all it takes, hmm?” I taunt. “Just one simple, human word, and your desperate little body can’t hang on anymore.”
“I love you,” she pants through choked breath.
My fingers falter, I almost give in, but I know exactly what she’s doing.
“I love you too,” I whisper. “But that’s not going to work.”
I bring her right to the precipice where she’s about to shatter—then pull my fingers free.
“No, please, Andrik. I’ll do anything.”
“Finish, Lumi,” I command, sitting back on my heels. “Touch yourself, baby. Make yourself come while I watch.”
Her eyes are wild, full of desperation, tears gathering in the corners.
My hand hovers over her core, “Tell me whose pussy this is.”
Her breath shudders, fingernails digging into my arm.
“Say it, Lumi.”
“Yours—” The word breaks. “It’s yours, Andrik. Only yours.”
I growl low in my chest. I hold back for another agonizing minute.
“Andrik, help. Please.”
“I know,ael’soryn,” my voice softens just slightly. “I know it aches, but you’re going to wait.” (My breath in the dark.)
I rise to my full height.
Her eyes widen in panic.
“Where are you going?”
“Nowhere,” I reach for the hem of my shirt and pull it over my head, carefully tugging it over my antlers. “I’m just done watching from the sidelines.”
Her gaze tracks the movement, falling down my chest, my stomach, then lower.
I work the ties of my pants loose.
“Because, unlike him, I’m not just a voice in the dark, Lumi.” I step out of them. Bare before her. “I’m real, and I can back up every single one of my words.”
I step into the tub, water surges over the ledge, drowning the floor.

UP
Lumi-
The water sloshesviolently as he steps into the tub. His massive frame crowds the space—shoulders too broad, legs too long. Water spills over the edge, pooling on the floor.
My heart is beating so loud I barely hear him when he speaks next.
“Come here,” he says quietly, no room for argument.
