A shot of the cool liquid snaked down my throat, spreading the chilled sensation throughout my limbs. I felt instantly lighter, and my head swam. My tastebuds were alight with flavors I couldn’t begin to describe because I had never tasted anything so delectable before. It was sweet and overwhelmingly addicting. My thirst was quelled immediately.
There was something in the back of my mind that I only faintly could remember about nectar. Some kind of warning or saying that was escaping me as I gulped down another canteen full before letting it slip out of my hand and topple onto the rock covered floor. It clattered and echoed off the high vaulted ceiling.
I tilted my head back and started up at the small portion of the sky that was peeking through.
“I thought I’d never see the sky again,” I found myself murmuring, before tilting all the way back into a laying position. The rocks were uncomfortable and digging into my flesh, but for some reason I didn’t care. I couldn’t care, not when I was feeling like this. So blissful and relaxed for the first time since I got here.
My life had become chaotic and unpredictable. Danger lurked around every corner, and I should have been on high alert, but the nectar had me feeling like I was floating and untouchable. The urge to strip off my clothes was overwhelming. My entire body was covered in a mixture of dust and sweat and I needed it off me.
“Turn around. I’m going in,” I said, not waiting for Dex to follow my instructions before I began unbuttoning my jumpsuit and kicking off my boots. The fabric peeled off my slick skin easily and I tossed it into a heap before I dipped my toes into the cool nectar-filled pool.
I didn’t really care if he looked at me in this moment. Not when I was feeling this euphoric. The water greeted me easily, licking against my dirtied skin and washing away the grime that had built up over time. It felt better than the shower back at home.
“You can’t be serious. What are you doing in there?” Dex asked, his head tilted to look at the ceiling, avoiding my naked form.
“Washing up, what does it look like I’m doing?”
“Well, I wouldn’t know! You told me not to look.”
I was fully emerged now in the water, tipping my head back as I floated easily in the dense liquid. It was buttery soft, sliding against my skin as I floated.
“You should come in here. It feels amazing.” I was pretty sure he could see the tips of my breasts like this, but I couldn’t find it in me to care. In fact, I liked it. I wanted his attention. I wanted him to see me like this.
Dex put his hands on his hips as if he was debating. I tilted my body forward so that I was no longer floating but still submerged from the chest down.
“I promise to keep my hands to myself,” I said.
“It’s not your hands that I’m worried about,” Dex grumbled. “Fine, I’m coming in,”
“You want me to close my eyes?” I asked, covering my face.
“Nah, you can look all you want and see what you’re missing.”
He slowly unbuttoned his jumpsuit, kicking his shoes off to the side near where mine were. I could see my dagger laying where I’d dropped it.
I knew I shouldn’t be peeking between my fingers, but he had said I could look.
“Like what you see over there?” He asked, shrugging completely out of his clothes.
He stood fully naked before me, cock hardened and bobbing in his hands. My cheeks warmed as I floundered for the right response.
I’d never seen a naked man before I’d walked in on Dex in the shower. I mean other than statues, but here, Dex was in front of me all flesh and blood. And so, so unbelievably hot. His sculpted muscles moved as he entered the pool, and I felt myself wanting to feel every ridge of his abs beneath my fingertips. My eyes couldn’t stop staring at his large dick and a part of me wondered how it would feel if he were to be inside me.
He joined where I was, dipping his head back just like I had. Water droplets clung to my eyelashes as I watched him revel in the feel of the nectar. It was truly heavenly, and I understood why it was so coveted. Every fiber of my body felt like it was sparking with energy. Wisps of my power surged to my fingertips, filling the air around me with shadows.
“Easy, you don’t want to get too carried away,” Dex said, placing his hands on my shoulders.
The shadows dropped, but my power, I realized had come back with a vengeance. If this was what it did to me, I wondered if it had the same effect of the gods. Giving them a sense of euphoria and limitless power.
Dex’s hands were warm, and he kept them on me even after the shadows had dissipated. His thumbs made lazy circles on my wet skin, sending shivers along my nerve endings. I could feel the desire for him to keep touching me and looking at me the way he was all the way down to my toes. His hand found its way up to my cheek as he inspected my injury, thumb caressing ever so gently right beneath the cut.
“That hurt?”
“Not really,” I said with a shrug. His touch was more intoxicating than the nectar I’d ingested.
I licked my lips, tasting the nectar upon them. He tracked the movement, and then I felt his hard cock graze against my leg. My eyes widened at the sudden contact, and he immediately jerked away, dropping my shoulders like they’d burned him.
“We should get out of here,” he said as he hurriedly turned around, and stalked out of the pool almost angrily.
