SOL

“Oh, fuck yes, I’m joining you,” I said, happy surprise making laughter rumble through my chest. My sugar fix didn’t have to ask twice to get hers.

Actually, maybe I should let her use her fingers. I liked to watch sometimes, too. My cock was already at attention, though, and I didn’t think I could wait. I stripped out of my clothes faster than I could shift and climbed in the tub with her.

She reached over and started the water again before leaning back and resting her arms across the edge like a queen.

I knelt between her knees like the supplicant I was and spread her legs wide. She propped her ankles on the edge of the tub, and I cursed under my breath at the fucking beautiful spread before me.

“Get it,” she said, raising an eyebrow in challenge.

I matched her heated stare and lowered my mouth to her pussy, spreading her lower lips wide as I swirled my tongue around her swollen clit. She moaned, and I had to force myself to slow down. Not too slow, though, because there was already an inch or so of water in the tub.

I wasn’t a fucking merman like Toro.

I pushed a finger into her heat and pumped a few times - she was so wet and slippery, and it wasn’t from the bath. It was from me - for me. That was the hottest thing I could imagine, and I moaned right along with her as I lapped up her sweetness, adding a second finger.

My lips closed around her clit as I sucked and pumped my fingers hard, and she cried out my name. Her muscles clenched around my fingers, pulsing as her orgasm rippled through her beautiful body. Her thighs trembled, and she closed them around my shoulders, drawing my body up hers as she begged for more.

“I want your cock,” she whispered, and I was lost. I moved my body over hers, dragging my tongue up her belly and fastening my mouth around her hard nipple. She spread her legs again, her ankles coming together behind my back.

My cock lined right up with her pussy, and I push inside just as the water edged over her hips.

“Hard,” she gasped, and I gave her everything she wanted.

My teeth grazed her nipple as I fucked her so hard the water sloshed against the tub, and she dug her nails into my shoulders, riding the waves of pleasure as I pushed her higher and higher toward a second orgasm.

Her skin was hot beneath my touch, and I knew I’d never get enough. Never fucking enough.

Our mouths clashed together as she lifted her hips to meet mine, my cock bottoming out inside of her. Our bodies slapped together beneath the water, and I cinched an arm behind her back to steady us.

“Harder,” she begged, and I gasped out as she began to do some sort of circle with her hips that felt like fucking magic. Gritting my teeth in an effort to last longer, I paused just long enough to flip us, so she was on top.

“Yes,” she moaned, grinding down on me and riding me like a goddamn cowgirl. Her breasts bounced in my face as she flexed her thighs and slammed her body down on mine, over and over. I sucked one of her nipples between my lips and pressed my thumb against her clit, and she threw her head back, crying my name as she shattered around me.

Her pleasure sucked me right over the edge, and I spilled into her with a lion’s roar, my skin nearly shifting into fur as the orgasm ripped through my body.

She rocked her body on mine several more times, her pussy milking me for every last sensation. My own muscles grew limp. Thank fuck I was on the bottom, because I could barely move by the time she slumped over me, her face resting just in the crook of my neck.

“Fuck yes,” she murmured, and I chuckled, my hands settling on her thighs still spread wide over my body.

It was a damn good position to be in. The water finally slowed around us, and she lifted her face to mine, placing a sweet, simple kiss on my lips.

“Forgiven?” she asked, her eyebrows drawing together slightly.

“With makeup sex like that? We might have to fight more often,” I teased. She giggled, but a shadow passed over her face. I wondered if I’d said the wrong thing. She pushed herself up and eased off my cock. I suppressed a groan at losing her warmth, but I knew I needed to respect her and not be so demanding.

That was what had gotten us all in this mess to begin with.

She settled at the other end of the tub, facing me and chewing her lip. I reached for her feet next to me and began to massage her heels, then her soles. She sighed and leaned her head back, but after a few minutes, I saw the tension creep back into her body.

“What is it, shortcake?” I prompted. I didn’t want her to keep anything from me, ever again.

I saw her take a deep breath, opening her mouth like she wanted to say something, then closing it over the words. I forced myself to wait for her. Finally, she sighed.

“Fuck it,” she muttered. Crossing her arms over her chest, she glared at me. “I think I’m in love with you,” she rushed out, the words sounding half angry.

I choked back a shocked laugh. Of all the ways I’d dreamed of getting to the next level with this sweet, mouthy girl, I’d never once come up with this one.

I dropped her feet and surged to her side of the tub. I answered her with a kiss, letting the heat in my mouth say the words right back.

Then I said them out loud, just for good measure. “I love you, too, shortcake. You’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted, but more than the sugar and the sex, you make me happy in a way I forgot existed.”

Her pale skin flushed prettily, and I moved my lips lower, licking and nipping at her skin. She threw her arms around my chest and squeezed tight, and I melted right there. I moved my body slightly beneath hers, and she snuggled up to me, her long hair trailing in the water around us. All the tension I’d seen a few minutes before had seeped away, and I felt closer to her than I’d ever felt.

If I hadn’t been certain of my desire to mate with Carlyle before, today had driven that point so far home I knew I’d be destroyed if anything kept us apart.

“I wish we could do something normal for once,” she murmured, nuzzling against my chest. Her eyes drifted closed, her long lashes sweeping across her cheeks.

“You mean besides sex?” I joked, hugging her tighter.

“Like a date or something.” Her voice was drowsy again, and I knew she needed sleep. Her words sparked a flash fire of ideas in my mind, though, and as she slipped back into dreamland, I stroked her back beneath the warm water and dreamed up a whole night’s worth of normal things I wanted to surprise her with.

My sweet Qilin would have every last normal experience she wanted.
