He grabbed my hips firmly and thrust into me once, bringing our bodies as close as he possibly could, but then he gently pushed my chest back until I was leaning against his arm around my back. With the other hand, he gripped my cock.
“Look at me, my pretty mate,” he said, and I did.
He started stroking my cock under the water while looking at me as if I were porn. And not just any random porn, but really good porn, where everyone worked out before coming to set. High production value porn where everyone was in shape. Advanced porn. Or… No. I was thinking about porn way too much.
My mate looked at me as if I were some lovingly created fanart of the hottest ship on the internet. Despite what everyone said about it, I’d gone to Tumblr, and I’d seen some of that art, so I was feeling very flattered. I’d have blushed, but there was no room for that, not between his hand around me and his cock inside of me. I was hot in my mate’s eyes, and in this moment, I could only accept that.
I did. I totally succumbed, which led to me totally coming. My incoherent noises of pleasure echoed, and my orgasm pulled him into his. His cock pulsed inside of me, and he groaned and purred, then clicked, even as my own screams echoed all around us. It was physical, but it was also emotional. He loved me. He loved me, and I was the sexiest thing in any world to him.
I was desperate to kiss him, and I came down just a tad too hard on his lips, which made him click and hold my chin so he could guide me.
“You’re the sexiest thing in the world to me too,” I told him, near breathless.
Inkiri chuckled. “I’m a thing, sadir?”
My eyes widened, and I tensed, then groaned, given that his cock was still inside me. “N-no! You’re just…very sexy.”
“I was teasing, sweet thing.” He cupped the back of my head. His eyes wandered from my face to my chest, and he looked at where my cock was barely hidden by the water and sagging against his belly in a sad, spent way. Then he locked eyes with me again. “You are very pretty. I read so many romance poems and beautiful words used to describe one’s lover. I don’t remember any of them because you are more sublime than all of them combined.”
I sagged against his chest. “You’re such an overachiever.”
“Yes?”
“Hmm.”
“I think you deserve an overachiever, sadir.”
I didn’t have it in me to argue. He stroked my back, pulled me close, and let me snuggle against his chest. His barb set in then, a small pinch that made me tense slightly before I adjusted. I tilted up my head to kiss his throat, and he growl-purred, held me, and gave me the best treat: his arms around me, his warmth close, and everything else very far away, at least for a little while.
Chapter 10
We were happily soaking after Inkiri’s barb had released when I heard something. Splashing, and voices.
“Is there someone here? Do we have to leave?” I whispered against Inkiri’s pointy ear. I’d gotten a little sleepy, but the noises had me alert again in seconds, a skill the apocalypse had taught me.
“There might be, but we can stay for as long as we want, sweet thing.”
“Right.” I looked around but couldn’t see anyone in the fog. “Who was that?”
He clicked. “A few protectors came in earlier.”
“And you couldn’t tell me before you barbed me?”
Weirdo Husband chuckled. “Tell you to stop when you were aching for my barb? No, sadir, I would never.”
I flushed, but he wouldn’t be able to tell because of the warm water. “You’re saying they heard.”
“You sounded very pleased, so it’s good they heard.” Why he had to be so smug about me accidentally being noisy, I had no idea.
I looked toward the other pools. One seemed empty, though I couldn’t see its far edge, but if I craned my neck, I could just about make out the surface of the other, the one closest to the entrance, broken by ripples from other bathers. Soakers. That was all I saw of them though.
“I can’t believe we did this with people here. Although, scratch that. You said people might come in. You just didn’t tell me, which…I guess I can believe.” Honestly, I was too spent and glowy to muster even the smallest bout of shame.
“They’ll be very jealous of me for having found such a sweet mate, and they’ll envy my skill in making him whimper with just my touch.”
“You’re saying you’re using me to show off your sexual prowess.” I considered it. That was good, wasn’t it? That was trophy mate stuff.
Inkiri licked my neck. “Should we see about finding some food and getting some rest, or do you want to stay in the water longer?”
