“Really?”
He nodded.
I stepped back, then ran forward and jumped. I landed in the center of the pool, warm water closing over me in a welcome cocoon. I sank like a stone, but a feeling of elation buoyed me, driving me back to the surface in seconds. I broke free with a laugh and swiped at my eyes.
“Andthatis why I wanted the pool,” Kel said as he climbed into the water.
I swam over to him. “Thank you.” My body flowed to his as if it couldn't stay away, colliding gently. “Thank you for always making sure that I laugh.”
“It's the best part of life,” he said as he pulled me closer. “Even better than sex.”
“I may have to disagree with you on that.”
“Sex is great. With us, it's incredible. Life changing. The best I've ever had. But it can't be shared with everyone and it's only temporary.”
“Laughter is only temporary too.”
“Ah, but you can keep laughing if you want. All day. All you need is a few seconds to catch your breath. Laughter lifts your soul.”
“You make a good argument, but I still think sex is better.”
Kel snorted. Then, with a smirk, his tail wrapped around my ankle and yanked me under. He swam away as I went down. We were in the shallow end so I just stood up, but I still came up sputtering.
“Oh, you're gonna get it, you rascally Dhon!” I dove.
Underwater, I saw Keltyr backpedal, but he couldn't get away fast enough. I grabbed his hips and gave him what he deserved. A good tongue-lashing.
Kel jerked at the first touch of my lips, but then went still, his hands going to my shoulders to steady me. As I slid my tongue along the underside of his shaft, I summoned Air to surround my head. When the bubble settled in place, I sucked in a breath along with Kel's cock. The sound of his laughter filtered down to me hollowly.
The bottom of the pool was tiled in a mosaic made to look like the patchy bottom of a natural pool. Beautiful, but it gave little traction. So I let my body float up, anchoring myself to Kel with his hips. This put me in a semi-straight line. The perfect form to suck him. I was moaning my way along his sweet shaft when his tail wrapped around my dick. I gasped, then moaned deeper. Have I mentioned that his tail is my favorite part of him?
The slender, strong appendage coiled around me until it felt like a fist. I started pulling myself forward onto Kel's cock and the motion also took me into his grip. It was sheer bliss. A sexual harmony.
But it wasn't enough for Keltyr. After a few blissful minutes, his tail unwound and slipped between my lower cheeks. It sought and found my entrance, gently prodding its way past my ring of muscles, then pushed in and out to work me open. It was a clear sign that he didn't want to finish in my mouth, so I eased off his shaft and sucked on his balls instead. Rolling one, then the other against my tongue, I wriggled onto his tail until he was pumping steadily.
As soon as the way had been eased for him, Kel pulled back from my mouth and slipped his tail out of me. I came up, dispersing the Air Magic, and went into his arms.
“How do you want me?” I asked him.
“Oh, I get to choose?”
“I'm your reward, remember?”
“Right.” Keltyr grinned. “In that case, come here.” He picked me up and moved us to the edge of the pool where the water was shallow enough for me to kneel. But instead of putting me on all-fours, he bent me over the rim. The little rocks therewere smooth, so although they dug into my belly, they weren't uncomfortable. And then he set my knees on a hidden ledge. That brought my belly up, especially when I set my forearms on the grass.
“This water won't help things,” Keltyr said as he spread my cheeks. “I'd better lick it off.”
And then came the warm, wet sensation of his tongue on me. Flicking. Licking. Penetrating. I gasped and wriggled and jerked. He kept going until I was dripping wet, but not from water.
“Kel,” I urged.
He didn't tease me. We were both too much in need for that. Keltyr lifted his head and replaced his tongue with his cock, gently pushing back and forth until it popped into place. We sighed in unison as he moved deeper inside me, stretching my channel deliciously. Around my thighs, the water started to move, lapping at my skin. With my body soaked in ecstasy, I stared forward, past the trees and across the magical city as the sun brightened the world. My body was a little confused with all the time differences. Hadn't I just seen a sunrise like this? But the pleasure jolting up my stomach focused me on what was most important—Keltyr.
Fuck the city. I wanted to see him. My horned lover with an infectious laugh. The man who had never given up on me, no matter how many times I rejected him. He knew we were perfect for each other and had enough determination to prove it to me. I was so damn grateful that he had. My life would still be incredible without Kel, but it wouldn't be half as fun.
I turned to look at him over my shoulder.
He didn't look fun at the moment. With his face drawn in rapturous lines and his muscles tightening with every thrust, he looked fierce. And so handsome that it hurt. His dark hair was slicked back, making his curled horns more prominent, and his eyes were bright, glowing in the sun. Kel winked at me, softening his savageness for a second, and then I felt his tail wrap around my cock again.
