Share Us
“Oh, sure. Thank you,” I said, sitting up and taking a bowl from him. It held several scoops of cold, creamy ice cream with chunks of strawberry in it. I took a bite and moaned happily. “Mmm—it’s really good!”
“I thought so too.” Rath sat down beside me. “Hey—this ice cream is cold, do you mind sharing the blanket?”
Since I had seen him tromping through a freezing blizzard in nothing but a pair of fur trousers and some boots, I was pretty sure he wasn’t that cold. But I appreciated the fact that he wanted us to get closer.
“Sure, I can share.” Scooting closer to him, I draped the hand-knitted afghan over both our laps.
“Thanks, baby.” He smiled down at me and took another bite of ice cream.
I took another bite of mine as well, but I could barely taste it. I could feel an almost electrical connection between us—I wanted him to touch me so much! Wanted to kiss him again—this time while I was in my right mind and wasn’t drunk on lust potion.
I wondered if he wanted the same thing—wondered how he would react if I straddled him as I had the night before. But without the help of the potion, I was back to being my shy, retiring self and I didn’t feel able to make the first move—or any move at all, for that matter.
“You’re pretty quiet tonight,” Rath remarked, finishing his ice cream.
“Sorry,” I said. “I was just…thinking. That’s all.”
“Thinking about what? You done with that?” He nodded at my now empty bowl.
“Sure. Here.” I gave it to him and he stacked our bowls and put them on the side table before turning back to me and putting one long arm around my shoulders.
“So what were you thinking about?” he asked again.
“Um…mostly about last night and what a fool I made of myself,” I admitted.
“No, you didn’t,” Rath protested. “I actually thought it was kind of hot, the way you jumped on me,” he added in a soft growl.
I bit my lip.
“That’s not how I usually act, though. I think the potion I took made me lose all my inhibitions. I’m normally a lot more, uh, reserved. Mostly because I haven’t had hardly any experience.”
“Was it true what you told me—that you’re a virgin?” he asked softly.
Blushing, I nodded.
“Uh-huh. I can understand if you don’t want to be with someone who’s so completely clueless,” I added, looking down at my hands.
“Hey, no…” He lifted my chin so that our eyes met. “It doesn’t matter to me how much or how little experience you have—I like you, baby. I mean, more than like you, you know?”
My heart was pounding as I looked into his glowing golden eyes.
“I feel the same way about you,” I admitted. “And I want you too. It’s just…”
“What is it?” he coaxed gently, when I trailed off. “Tell me what’s standing in your way and I swear I’ll move Heaven and Earth to make it work for you, baby.”
“It’s just that you’re so…so big,” I said, somehow getting the words out.
“Oh, I get it.” Rath nodded, a look of understanding coming over his face. “Look, I know that I’m way bigger than you are, but I swear to you, Sarah—I would never hurt you.”
I felt like I was melting as I looked into his eyes. It wasn’t actually our physical size difference I had been talking about—I’d meant the size of his equipment compared with the size of my pussy. I had no idea how the monster between his legs would ever fit inside me. But I was touched by what he said, touched and turned on both, by the gentle way he cupped my cheek.
“Thank you,” I breathed. “I believe you.”
“Good. I know I’m a Creature and you’re a human, but I promise we can make it work—I know how to be gentle,” he murmured. He stroked my cheek again. “I’d really like to kiss you right now.”
“I want to kiss you too,” I admitted breathlessly. I’d been wanting almost nothing else from the moment he had sat down beside me.
“Mmm, good,” Rath rumbled. And then he leaned down and took my mouth in a passionate kiss that sent shockwaves of desire through my whole body.
