“Tell me if you want to stop.”

Her hand slides up my torso, her fingers tangling in the short hairs on my chest.

“I don’t want to stop, Axel.”

Her fingertips slide down my arm, and her gaze follows as she traces the lines of my tattoo.

“A snake.” She says it as if confirming something. “Does it mean anything?”

I follow her gaze but get distracted by her body. My hands caress her hips and move up to her breasts. She gasps but keeps tracing the snake around my forearm and to the head of the viper on my shoulder.

“It means I was young and dumb once.”

She giggles. “I can’t imagine.”

“It was my first deployment; we all got them. We thought we were badass.”

Her fingers move over the fangs of the viper. “You don’t need a snake tattoo to be badass.”

“I know that now, but I didn’t when I was nineteen. I thought I had something to prove.”

Something flickers in her features, and then it’s gone.

My hand finds her nipple, and I give it a soft tug. Ruby responds with a moan, and our lips collide.

Her hands fumble over my cock, and she takes it into her palms. “Is this okay?”

I groan as she rolls me between her palms. It’s jerky and tentative, and her curiosity almost undoes me.

“This is perfect.”

Her mouth finds my nipple, and as her hands get bolder, she strokes me from bottom to tip. And I am here for this, for her exploration of my body. It’s hers to take.

The moment moves from gentle intimacy to wild desire, even more so when Ruby pushes me onto my back and climbs on top.

She takes my cock in her hands, and in three hard strokes, I’m melting into the bedsheets.

“You better stop that or I’ll come too soon.”

“I’m ready for you, Axel. I want to feel you inside me.”

I grab a condom from my bedside drawer and slip it on. I want Ruby to feel cared for in every way I can.

I want to take it slow and control how I slip inside her, but my mermaid has other ideas.

“My way.” She rises on her thighs and balances herself on the tip of my cock. “Everyone’s been deciding things for me. Not this.”

Her eyes meet mine as she lowers herself onto me. Ruby’s eyes widen in wonder, and her wet heat engulfs me in a wave of sensation so strong I grip her hips to stop from losing it.

“Fuck, Ruby, you need to stop or I’ll come.”

Her gaze meets mine, and she stops her slow descent. Her hands slide down her body and over her breasts. She shakes her hair off her shoulders, and with my dick half inside her, she closes her eyes and takes her nipple in her hand. The other hand slides between her legs.

She’s giving me a show, and I am here for it. I see her, and I like what I see.

Ruby moans, and the slickness from her pussy eases her down my shaft another inch. I grab her hips, needing to hold on so I don’t lose control. She traces circles with her palm, and her breathing gets shorter, her cries louder.

“Fuck, you’re beautiful.” My voice is strained from holding back. I’m captivated by her rawness, and her confidence is sexy as fuck—using my cock to make herself feel good.
