Chapter 398 Chapter 398
Closing it with as much grace as he could manage, he turned to see Terah had followed him into the bedroom. She stood there, her body flushed with passion and her eyes were locked on him, devouring him. He should turn and walk away. Stop this before it went too far, but instead, he pulled his shirt over his head and dropped it on the floor beside him. It wasn’t the years he’d convinced himself that alone was okay. It wasn’t that he’d been denied physical contact for too long. It was her. Just being near her, changed everything. “Come here.”
She came to him, without comment, stopping right in front of him. Her hands touched his chest and then moved slowly over it like she was memorizing its shape. Konner sucked in a breath when they strayed closer to his belt. He grasped her hand before she could continue her exploration. His control was already wavering.
Leaning down, he pulled her closer and kissed the side of her neck. She gasped and tipped her head back further to give him access to do it again. Tasting her skin again, he closed his eyes as he brought her flavor into his body. Of course, it was everything he’d imagined it would be. Purity, seduction, sin, and perfection all at once.
Growling, he lifted his head and kissed her mouth. It took a lot of restraint, but he managed to keep the kiss slow and gentle this time. Turning, he walked her backward toward the bed. Should he be doing this? No, but he was going to. He knew it was going to change everything and for the first time in his life, he didn’t care what anyone, but the woman in his arms thought.
Lowering her to the bed, he followed her to it and let the motion of the water inside it rock her to him. Turning to his side, he pulled her close and continued to kiss her. She clung to his head, returning his kiss with fervor.
When he lifted his mouth from hers, she clutched his head, not wanting him to stop. Reaching, he untangled her one hand from his hair and held it in his as he leaned down her body, to take one sensitive nipple into his mouth. She gasped and arched her back. The hitch in her breath told him that she’d never felt that before.
Letting go of her hand, he shifted so he could hold one breast in his hand when he moved his mouth to the other. She cried out when he swirled his tongue around her other tight nipple. Both of her hands gripped his hair so tight it stung, but he didn’t care. This was for her right now, not him. She’d been forced to have sex to breed and had been denied how good it should feel. He meant to correct that for her.
Terah sucked in another breath and then moaned. “I didn’t know they could be kissed.” She gasped.
Lifting his head, he grinned, his mouth against her ribcage, “all of you is for kissing.”
To that, she opened her eyes and looked at him, the confusion plain in her eyes.
“Let me show you.” He stretched up and kissed her mouth softly. “Let me make you feel good.”
“I do feel good,” she sounded breathless, “but there is something…”
He kissed her again, “shh.” He placed a feather-soft kiss along her jaw, then moved his mouth down to her throat. With each placement of his lips against her, he was rewarded with a breathless gasp.
He wanted to tell her that it was more intense in the water, with their real skin, but now was not the time for words. Their skin may appear like scales, but not in the way that a fish would be. There was a thermal layer against the cold waters but was so soft it felt like it was covered in fine hairs.
Opening her legs, he moved down to taste her. He loved that in this form, a female’s body was easily accessible, not hidden as it would be for protection in the water. With her taste taunting him, his tongue inside her, he decided that no other male would ever taste her. Ever.
As she moaned and called his name in a rasping breathless way, he decided no male of their kind would ever swim with her. She was the one thing in his long life that he wasn’t going to be able to let go of.
Arms shaking, he raised over her and was about to ask her if she was all right when her eyes popped open and silver eyes looked up at him. She grabbed his face and pulled him down for a kiss. Not a satisfied, easy kiss, but one filled with so much passion he thought he would explode from how hard it made him.
Her skin literally glowed, and he knew if he looked at his own, it would be close to it as well if he could focus to look. It was what happened when their kind was consumed with passion, it was also why they couldn’t ever be with anyone that wasn’t their kind or didn’t know what they were. With Terah, it made her even sexier than she already was.
He flipped onto his back and brought her to sit on top of him. He needed her to be in control, for this to be on her terms. He wasn’t sure if he would be able to control himself if she needed slow or gentle. After what she’d been made to do when she was being held by those lunatics, he wanted her to experience what this should be like between two consenting adults.
She looked down at him, an unsure look on her face. Grasping her hips lightly, he lifted her and aligned their bodies. He guided her to lower onto him slowly, watching her face the entire time. The expression on her face showed her every response, it was the most erotic thing he’d ever seen.
When he filled her, she stopped and sat there, looking down at him. He really wanted her to set the pace and had intentions to do just that, but his restraint was at its end, gripping her hips tight, he lifted her up and thrust as he lowered her again.
One gasp left her mouth and then she began to move on her own. Konner forgot all his plans to allow her to set the pace, his needs took over, and nothing registered outside their bodies connecting, the way her muscles squeezed him with each movement of her body. He watched her, fighting to keep his eyes open when all he wasn’t to do was close them and let the feelings take over him.
A few minutes later, he couldn’t separate who was moving or controlling this, they were both frantic and reaching for completion. He heard a loud groan and couldn’t tell if it came from his throat or hers, then they both crashed over the edge together.
Trying to breathe burned as he fought to bring air into his body. The silence in the room was filled with gasping, as both struggled to catch their breath.
She smiled down at him and then collapsed on top of him. He didn’t have the energy or desire to move from this position. Wrapping his arm around her, he pulled the long hair away from her face. She looked happy and content and it was suddenly the most rewarding feeling in his life to know that he’d done that for her. He ran his hand down her back, they were both covered in a sheen of sweat now. He paused, reality crashing through the euphoria. Sweating was bad for someone so young and still recovering.
He patted her hip lightly. “We have to get you in some water.”
“I don’t want water right now.” She sighed contently.
“I know, but you need it, you are sweating.”
She lifted her head and smiled at him, “it is a good sweat.”
Konner grinned, “yes, the reason is good, but with your age and health, it’s not.”
Her expression sobered. “Oh, I can go back to the tub.”
Konner shifted and lifted her into his lap, “no, the lake is better.” Setting her on the bed, he stood up and looked for his pants. “Just grab your robe.” She sat there for a moment, he hoped it was just the drugged feeling after sex that had her foggy.
Pulling his pants on, he rushed into the bathroom and found her robe laying on the counter. Grabbing it, he went back out. She was standing now, that was a good sign. Leaning down, he looked to see her skin wasn’t looking translucent yet. He held the robe so she could put her arms through it. Before she could tie it together, he scooped her up into his arms and headed for the door. Hopefully, none of the other adults were in the lake, that was the last thing he needed was to be seen carrying her out of the house.
