He dragged his hand through his wet hair. Hisanguish and uncertainty beat against me as I used my body and handto maneuver him back toward the bank.
“River,” he growled when I bent to run mylips over his chest and my tongue slid out to lick away the wateron his flesh. The taste of the lake water on his fire-scented skinfilled my senses and kicked my desire into hyperdrive. “We musttalk about this.”
“Later,” I murmured as I slid my tongue overone of the hard ridges of his abs before lowering my head to lickover the deep line carved down the center. Sparks danced across myfingers as I traced his rigid muscles with my fingers. They lit hissilken, damp flesh in a golden glow.
I couldn’t get enough of his taste, of hisscent, and the feel of him straining within my hand. Bending lower,I ran my tongue around his belly button, but it was the enticinghead straining out of the water toward me that beckoned to me themost. I’d yet to touch him or taste him in such a way, not becauseI didn’t want to, but simply because it hadn’t happened yet. Now,nothing would stop me from knowing him in this way.
His hands gripped my shoulders, and hestopped breathing when my lips hovered over him. Ever so slowly, Iran my tongue across the head of his shaft. Within my hand, hiserection swelled and strained toward me. A smile curved my mouthbefore I licked over him again.

“Shit,” Ihissed when River’s mouth slid over the top of my dick.
Her tongue trailed over the sensitized fleshas she moved, tasting me with an eagerness I’d never experiencedbefore. There was something we should be discussing, but for thelife of me, I couldn’t recall what, nor did I care to, as I watchedher.
Bracing my elbows against the bank, I liftedmy hips out of the water. Her smile deepened before she slidfurther over me, her tongue lapping away the water dripping down meas she worked her mouth and hand over my cock. Pleasure spiraledout through me as my fingers dug into the mossy riverbank.
I almost shouted aloud when her other handslid down to cup my heavy balls and she rolled them within hergrasp. When a strand of her hair fell forward to shield herfeatures, I pulled it back to expose her face to me once more. Hereyes fluttered open, their violet depths met and held mine as Islid my hand over her cheek and down to cup her full breasts. Asmall moan escaped her and her eyes closed again.
I couldn’t stop my exploration of her body asmy hand dipped over her side and back up to rub her hardenednipple. She moved forward, her breasts brushing over my thighs asshe pulled me deeper within her, sucking and licking me in a hungryway that had me on the verge of exploding.
I gritted my teeth against the urge to come.Not yet.The hotness of her wetmouth on my flesh was almost more than I could bear. Her other handfell away from me to trace over my side before her nails dug intomy ass and she pulled me deeper into her.
My free hand shot out and seized a root ofthe willow tree exposed by the water. I watched her head bow anddip and lost myself to her tongue and lips. My fingers threadedthrough her hair, holding her closer as my hips rose and fell withher movements, and I resisted thrusting harder into her mouth.
The pressure built steadily within me until Ineared my breaking point. “River, I’m going to come. Must…stop.”
Her eyes flew open when I tried to draw heraway. Their amethyst depths burned into mine, but she didn’t pullaway as she watched me. “River…”
Releasing my ass, her hand came forward tocup my balls once more. Unable to take anymore, a guttural shoutescaped me as I came in a rush. Her tongue slid over the head of mypulsing cock, taking all of me into her, before she pulled awayfrom me.
My eyes latched onto her as she licked herlips and rose from the water. Beads of liquid trailed over herdelicate flesh and into the lake. I’d just found my release, yet Igrew hard again as I watched the water sliding enticingly over herlithe body.
Rising out of the water, my hands fell on herwaist before I lifted her against me. “Did you like that?” Idemanded hoarsely as my tongue ran over her ear.
“Very much so,” she whispered. “You tastedelicious, like fire and salt. Addicting.”
Unable to stop myself from claiming her, myfangs sank into her shoulder. Her legs wrapped around my waist asshe opened herself to me and I felt the heated wetness of her sexagainst my cock.

The piercing pain of his bite rapidly fadedto be replaced with the euphoria it always caused to wash over mybody. My arms encircled his neck, drawing him closer as his tonguelicked my shoulder with his fangs still within me. His lingeringtaste on my tongue and lips was like an aphrodisiac. I hadn’t beenlying when I said he tasted of fire and salt and I wanted more.
Ineededhiminside of me with a desperation that had me clawing at the slick,taut skin of his back. The strength of his reaction to what hadjust transpired between us, and the thrill of power that reactiongave me had me aching for him.
The heady evidence of his arousal rubbedagainst my wet center before he thrust upward and into me. He drovein so deeply, I swore he touched a piece of my soul. I nearlykeened in ecstasy, but managed to keep it suppressed as my teethsank into his shoulder. Sparks arched from my fingers to playacross his flesh. The water rippled and flowed around us as hebraced his legs apart and I began to ride him.

“We have to see how your power is working,”Kobal told me as soon as he finished buttoning his pants.
I pushed back a strand of my damp hair andshoved it behind my ear before bending to tug on my boots. Thekatana shifted on my back with the movement and my guns bouncedagainst my side. Glancing up at him, I tied my boot as I watchedhim shove our things into our bags. Normally, he relaxed at least alittle after sex, but not this time.
