“What are you doing?”I asked even as I stared at the diamond, enraptured.
“It belongs on your neck. My father once gave it to my mother, and now, I want you to have it.”
“What?”My stare jerked up to his face.“I can't take your—”
“My mother would be overjoyed to know that we have mates now, and that I've given her favorite jewel to mine.”He laid his palm over the diamond and one of my hearts.“It will bring me great joy to see you wearing it.”
“Well, if it makes you happy.”I smirked.
Vax pulled me into his arms, and I eagerly lifted my lips to his. Our groans were more vibration than sound, rippling through us and the water, but nonetheless powerful. They spoke of all the love that had grown between us and how it would grow even more over the years to come. It spoke of longing fulfilled and unwanted happiness that was all the sweeter for the surprise of it. And above all, it spoke of lust. Pure, powerful lust.
I ground against Vax, and he pulled me closer. With him naked, I couldn't resist gripping his shaft and pumping it.
“We shouldn't do this here,”he said.
“Just let me suck you off.”I dropped to my knees.
“There's my pirate.”Vax grinned and shook his head, but not to say no.“Well, if you insist.”
His hand slid possessively but tenderly over my loose hair, smoothing it back so he could watch me take him into my mouth. I stared up at him, the heat in his eyes making it so much better. I did that to him. Me. And it would only be me who did that to him for the rest of our lives. Vax had given me his greatest treasure. Because I was now his greatest treasure. I knew it in my bones. And I wanted to show him how much I treasured himin return. No, a blow job doesn't sound so romantic, but I made it so.
I moved over Vax slowly at first, then tightened my lips and sped up. My cock strained my pants, but this was about him. I wanted to focus on Vax. Let him see that he was more important to me than my needs. I tongued his tip and took him deeper.
“Zix. Oh, fuck. Zixin. My sea butterfly. Just like that. Soon, Mate. Will you drink me?”
“Will I swallow? Fuck, yes, Your Majesty. I want to taste you.”
His hand clenched in my hair.“I love it when you drink me. I love knowing that you have more of me inside you.”
“Oh, fuck. Vax. You're going to make me come before I make you come.”
“Let me see it. Take your cock out of your pants.”
Urgently, I freed myself. My dick sprang forth into the cold water, but my body was made for the sea. The temperature made my balls clench in the best way. My hips canted forward, and Vax made a happy rumble as he started to pump into my mouth.
“Stroke yourself,”he said.
“No, this is about you.”
“And I want to see you stroke yourself, Mate.”
“Fuck.”I grabbed my dick with one hand while I kept a grip on his base with the other. Then I stroked. Twice. It was all I needed to come.
Cum spurt into the water, spiraling out in a ribbon before gently falling to the ground. Vax locked up against me as soon as he saw it, and even as I shuddered through the end of my climax, he emptied into my mouth. I expected him to tighten his hold on my head and hold me pressed tightly against his pelvis, but he didn't. His hands did clench in my hair, and he locked up against me, but there was no anger in him anymore and it gentled his actions. His salty flavor heightened my pleasure, sending me into a spasm. But I held still around Vax, taking all he offered until there was nothing left. For now.
Sucking him clean, I moved away and tucked my cock back in my pants. My mate helped me to my feet and kissed me again.
As we kissed, he said,“If that is how you react to presents, I will shower you in them.”
“Oh, it is! It is!”I said eagerly.
He smiled in peaceful joy and stroked my cheek.“We must go. Give me the Eye.”
I stepped back and pulled the Eye out of my pocket. It gleamed in a darker way than my diamond. A way that made me shudder.
Vax took the jewel and put it in the coral box that had held his mother's necklace. He closed it, then bent to dig a hole in the sand. I widened my eyes at that. Even his treasure room didn't feel secure enough for him. He had to hide the Eye in the warded room.
When Vax had a hole deep enough for his liking, he dropped the box in, then covered it up and smoothed the sand sothere was no hint that it had been disturbed. Nodding to himself, he took my hand, then led me out of his treasure room.
