“I missed you, too,” he growls.

The water splashes as he grasps my waist with his forearm and turns me onto my back against the tub. He looks down at me and smirks, gripping my neck as he dips his head under the water. His lips trail over my stomach and down my thigh, moving in closer to my center. He nips at my clit and the water splashes as I jump, surprised at the sudden sensation. He presses his hand on my lower stomach, pulling the skin and exposing me as he toys with my clit with his tongue, my hips rocking as I attempt to stay still. His long tongue works over me and dips lower until I feel him stretch me.

I gasp at the intrusion, the fork in his tongue moving independently in punishing motions. His hand trails down, gripping my hips, guiding my legs over his shoulders. Pulling his tongue from inside of me, he begins sucking on my clit. The cold ridges of his horns caress my stomach and ribs.

I feel my orgasm build, attempting desperately to hold it back, desperate to stop this moment and feel it forever. My skin vibrates, and the water ripples before pausing, suspended in time. Kai pauses and lifts his head. I look around and see the candles’ flames aren’t flickering.

“What…” My mouth drops as I realize that I did this.

“That could come in handy,” he says, smiling as he dips his head back down, the sensation comes faster and harder as he devours me, my orgasm building and building. I grip his horn, forcing his head up.

“Don’t you need to breathe?” I say, exhaling a breathless laugh.

“Not as much as I need to taste you,” he replies, the gold in his eyes barely visible, his pupils blown wide.

“I don’t want to come yet…” I say, pouting. “I intend to make up for lost time.” I quirk a brow at him.

I reach out, gripping his neck, and guide him toward me. His lips crash into mine, his tongue circling around my own as I taste myself on him.

“I want to feel you,” I plead.

“Your wish is my command, pretty girl.” He lowers his head at an angle to make room for his horns as he takes my nipple into his mouth. He nips and sucks it as he readjusts himself over me.

I look down and see his massive length; he grinds his dick over my clit, and my moans are loud and needy as I match his rhythm. He continues sucking on my nipple as he reaches to cup my other breast, toying with my other nipple, rolling his fingers over it as I feel him pull back and lower himself, pushing his cock against my entrance. As I press myself onto him, I feel him stretch me, moving deeper inch by inch, the soft ridges of his cock catching my walls, and I groan. His eyes darken as he growls, wrapping his arms under my legs.

“Wrap your arms around my neck,” he commands, and I obey.

He lifts my body out of the water and lifts me up and down onto his cock. My head falls back as I take every inch of him. His movements become aggressive and quick. I can feel him swell inside of me as his movements become more erratic.

My nails dig into his back as my moans echo through the room, raw and unguarded as my orgasm builds.

“Don’t stop,” I somehow manage to breathe.

Kai buries himself inside of me, and as I feel him fill me, he slowly lowers me back into the water. Both of us gasp, attempting to catch our breath. He looks down where we are still connected and smiles.

“What?” I ask, my voice a rough whisper.

“Fucking beautiful,” he says, looking me over.

A hot shower to clean up after our attempt at a bath, and I finally feel like myself again—myself, but different. I walk back to my room and close the door, settling into my bed.

“Yes! My bed!” I stretch out and pull a pillow into a hug.

I’ve never been more comfortable in my life. I let my body sink and savor the moment when Kai walks in, still wet and only wearing a towel.

I look at him and lick my lips. “You look delicious,” I admit.

“I know,” he says, crawling into the bed next to me, running his fingers over my jaw.

“Can I just stop time and we stay here like this?” I ask, smiling.

“You could, apparently.” He smiles, too, but my face straightens.

There is still so much I don’t understand, so much I haven’t processed. Right now, I don’t want to. I’m allowed to feel happy right now, I remind myself.

“You knew I would die, so why stay? Why choose to love me when you have eternity?”

Kai looks me in the eyes, and I see the love, I see the devotion. I hug him, burying my head in his neck as he wraps his arm around me, kissing my head.
