“Today, my Darling, you learned that your conception was not because I loved your father. I loathed the man. He was an assignment. I am an assassin. Just not of the murdering Mayhem type. That didn’t work in the past. We needed to infiltrate the family, become one of them, bring the prophecy to completion.” She took a sip and then placed her cup back on the saucer. “When he learns of this truth, he will kill me.”
“I’m going to need to make some scones while we process this.” I pushed up from the table and she began to inform me of all the insanity that I always suspected, but thought I wanted to know. Some things were probably best left in the past as part of myths and legends, curses and shadows. Instead, it was a nightmare that had become my waking life.
CHAPTER 10
Thurst
I woke up from a rest that I needed. I’d probably never sleep that soundly again. Maxine Mayhem didn’t just light up like a jellyfish and sting like an eel because of some potion in Case. She was not made of wizard and witching magic through and through. There was mer-blood in her genetic code and we had been… mating.
As soon as her mother, a creature from old legends popped her head up from the water, I knew. I knew everything.
I sat up from where I had been sleeping in the sand as Max sat down next to me. She said, “Good nap?”
“Yeah.” I looked over at her. Was she already pregnant? Probably. I smiled as gently as I could. My hormones were on overdrive around her and it wasn’t because I was just that in love with Maxine Mayhem that I had to have her. That she fit me perfectly no matter how big I had gotten. She didn’t just orgasm around my shaft, she pulled, milked, and worked for the desired end results of mating. I cleared my throat.
“Remember how you said you couldn’t be with me because you had nothing to offer?” she asked.
My gut was clenching. No. Not now. Not like this. “I don’t think—”
“This is our last night on this island. It’s probably the last night this island will exist.” She looked up at me and the tears that streamed from her eyes silenced anything I had to say. Nothing mattered but her.
“Tell me what you need from me.” I touched her hair. “I’ll do anything you need me to.”
Fortunately, what she needed was me because I wasn’t sure exactly what I could do other than comfort her anyway. I was physically powerful, a force in waters I was banned from entering. I had zero magic abilities beyond what my species came already genetically predisposed with. No hybrid powers here. Braz could even do a couple spells thanks to his demon side. I was from the pretty parts of the realm. The beautiful underwater areas where we all pretty much looked like they did in that human cartoon movie with the singing redhead. I knew some witch or wizard was dropping ideas into the creative minds of humans. More of their tales began to resemble our reality in this parallel realm.
I forgot about little mermaids when this potentially ethereal creature next to me climbed onto my lap and pressed her lips to mine. A breath later, she said, “I just want to be with you.”
“I love you.” I had to say it. If this was the last time I would get to for a while, I would say it a thousand times because she needed to know that. She needed to come to me when, if, this resulted in a successful mating. “I love only you. Forever you, Maxine.”
She was definitely in season. It all made so much more sense now. Aggressively, she pushed me back, took over. No more letting me lead. The women of her species were ruthless. I wondered if her magical blood had been what kept Max so sweet and innocent all these years. Now that the creature side was evolving, would she remain sweet or become a tyrant?
It was in my nature to lead these proceedings, but I decided it was time I changed my way of thinking about this the moment her lips parted and her tongue licked the length of my cock. “Fuck, Max.”
“I want to know what you taste like. You know every inch of my body. I want to know every inch of yours.”
I watched as she consumed me. The head of my cock slid down the back of her throat and she swallowed causing it to dip further and momentarily be squeezed. I surrendered. It was that easy for me to just let her have her way with me without any further thought about my role as the source of her pleasure. Fuck that nonsense. Had I known—no. This was best learned now, with her. The woman I loved because she was drowning me in waves of sensation I never in my wildest dreams imagined and I had imagined her doing this to me before. Selfishly, I had imagined entering her in all ways. That was before I knew what entering anything past the crown of my cock felt like beyond the palm of my hand.
I begged. Pleaded. Made promises I could not keep even though I wanted to. This was our fantasy island, right? When we came back to it, I would make good on any I didn’t get to fulfill right now. We’d have to come back here. I couldn’t go in any other waters with her and she would need me when she gave birth to our child.
“Let me ride your tongue.” Aggressive, luminescent, electric, she crawled up my body and sat on my face.
I needed the moment to recover after she swallowed down that release so this worked for both of us. I tried to ease her into a rhythm, but she was having none of it. As though sucking me off had been as fun for her as it was for me, she made quick work of achieving her own orgasm. Thighs crushing against my skull, I was dizzy for a moment.
As Max slid her way down my body to perch upon the head of my cock, I pulled her face in closer, kissed her. Made sure she tasted herself as I breached and delved into her depths. This was everything I ever wanted. An unhinged creature who desired me as much as I desired her. She rode me harder than I would have pushed into her. That primal beast taking over as her hair began to stand up on end, her skin glowed brighter, and her hips bucked in small but demanding motions. It was useless to attempt to hold back, hold out.
I moved my thumb over her clit with effort to get her there before me, with me, even within moments after me. I just knew I did not want to leave her behind because she was making every notch, every vein, every scale on my cock ache for release.
“That’s it. Come with me.” She nodded, focused determination on her brow. I praised her more. “You’re so fucking perfect. You got it. There. Yes.”
And the gibberish that followed was her response or mine. Maybe both of us. I didn’t care. I was riding a wave that rocketed through me so hard I almost blacked out again. Maybe she was also shocking me a bit. I wasn’t sure.
CHAPTER 11
Maxine
Damn this electric current that I had no control over. That was bliss. No doubt about it, but I did see when the pain and pleasure mixed for him and I had enough sense left in my orgasmic-induced, singularly focused mind to let go of him in time for that to return to pure pleasure.
I collapsed onto his chest and he stroked my hair, my back as he cooed praise and loving words at me. I tried to hide more tears. This was going to break my heart and his. I did this to us. I spent all that time pulling him to me and now. Now, I was the one who needed to keep us apart.
