She didn’t know what that word meant, but she didn’t need to. She felt its meaning wind and twirl inside her. It made her feel…confident. The way he was looking at her, as if she was the only female in the entire universe, made her feel confident and beautiful andsexy. And that was something she hadn’t felt in a long time.
Crystal took his hand and she pulled him closer, though even in the water he seemed to stumble as he did, as if his legs had locked up. She bit back a smile and wrapped her arms around his neck, getting used to touching him, getting used to him touching her. And she found that she loved it.
Water trickled off her arms as his head ducked down towards her. She pressed up in the water, their naked bodies sliding together, and he let out a harsh growl that she felt deep in her core.
He felt sublime against her. Hard and strong. She feltprotectedin his arms, which wrapped around her like a vice, as if he never wanted to let her go.
“You will be the end of me,luxiva,” he told her, his voice nothing more than a dark gasp.
She didn’t reply. She tilted her face up to his, asking for what she wanted, and he gave it to her. His kiss made her head spin, just like it did last night, just like it did all afternoon and evening. He’d kissed her every chance he got, touched her every chance he got…and she’d done the same.
She’d never felt thisunleashedwith anyone before.
Her breath hitched when his tongue sought her own. And for someone who’d never kissed anyone before, he was certainly a quick learner. That tongue stroked the roof of her mouth, those knobs on his tongue making tingles spark through her entire body, making her wonder how they’d feel on other parts of her.
She turned her head, breaking their kiss, running her lips down his chin and jaw before kissing his neck, sucking on his skin there. His desperate groan met her ears and between them she felt his cock, pressing into her soft belly,pulsingagainst her skin.
Crystal pulled back to look at him. The steam made water cling to her eyelashes but she blinked it away, only wanting to seehim.
Maybe they wouldn’t have sex that night, but she thought that she was ready for the next step in that direction. Her body was certainly ready for it.
So, just like the night withtevvaxrunning through her veins, she took his hand and led it underneath the water. She gasped when she pressed his fingers against her sex, giving him permission without saying a single word.
His nostrils flared, his shoulders bunching, yet seeming to grow at the same time.
“Tev, luxiva?” he asked.
“Yes,” she whispered.
Chapter Twenty-Eight
Cruxan’s blood was roaring in his ears, deafening everything else around them.
Hisluxivawas watching him, her fingers on top of his beneath the surface of the hot spring, holding them to her cunt.
Vrax, she reallywouldbe the end of him.
Ever since his female had surprised him by undressing, his blood had all but drained from his head, straight to his cock. He barely thought himself capable of words of that point, especially remembering the sight of her nude.
Vellixa. She was…everything.
Her beauty, her quiet sensuality, the way she’d taken his lips in a kiss as if she knew exactly what she wanted…it had stunned him speechless.
How had he ever thought that the Fates had made an error? At the time he’d thought that, she could barely look at him. Every little thing he’d said seemed to make her retreat more and more. Everything about them had seemed different, polar opposites.
Now?
Vrax, she was a goddess and he couldn’t imagine any other female capturing his soul like she’d already done.
It humbled him. It shamed him that he’d ever thought them a hopeless match. Because he never wanted another but her.
And if she left him…he knew without a doubt in his mind that it woulddestroyhim.
Nix, he had to ensure that she would never wish to leave him. No matter what.
Crystal gasped, arching into his touch when he brushed across her slick folds. He began soft and gentle, but when she released his hand to clutch onto his shoulders, he pressed harder, circling a hard little bud that seemed to bring her the most pleasure.
He focused there, observing her through the steam and haze of desire. Hisvarxdrew up tightly against his body, making his cock pulse and throb. He felt her warmth against him. Every squirming movement from his touch made her press harder into him.
