My fingers dug into his back as his teeth skimmed the delicate skin of my neck.
My dream where he bit me flashed behind my eyes, and I ground down on him, trying to seek after the intense ache between my legs.
“I could do this forever,” he said against my ear.
It was so tempting.
Around us, the water swirled and frothed. My magic overflowed, churning the water as I fought the desire I felt for him.
“Caspian, we should get out,” I ground out, breathless.
“Why?”
Because if we stay here a second longer, either my magic will explode or we’ll end up having sex. Neither of which is a good idea.
Instead of relaying those thoughts, I said, “We can’t spend the entire day in the tub. I have things I need to get done.”
“There’s nothing more important than this,” he hummed, running his thumbs over my nipples again.
My protest died in my throat.
Leaning forward, I threaded my fingers into his silver hair and brushed my lips over his. “How about you help me with the rest of the welcome totes and then I’ll reward you for it?”
“Fine,” he growled.
When I tilted my head and let out a breathless laugh, he took the opportunity to bite down on the side of my neck. It was hard enough to sting, but not break the skin. A bolt of heat shot through me.
“Is that what you want for your reward? To bite me?” My words were meant to be sarcastic, but they came out in a whimper.
“Baby, you have no idea.” His voice seeped into my blood, and suddenly the last thing I wanted to do was get out of the warm water and off of his body.
Letting out a low groan, I pushed off of him and reached for a towel. He grinned, baring thosesharp canines. I wanted them in my skin.
Since when did I have a bite kink?
Shaking my head, I wrapped myself in a towel and turned away so I wouldn’t stare at his impressive erection as he stood up and wrapped a clean towel around his swimsuit-clad lower body.
My heart climbed into my throat. All I wanted to do was turn around and strip us both naked.
My self-control frayed more and more the closer we got, and that was very, very bad.

Caspian
I couldn’t get enough of the dusty rose flush painting Juniper’s cheeks as she resolutely looked away from my body. I was tempted to undress completely and dry myself off in front of her, but I wasn’t sure she was ready for that.
Sighing, I paused to kiss her blushing cheek before heading to the hall bathroom to finish drying off and change into fresh clothing.
I couldn’t get back to her fast enough. She came out of the bedroom with her damp hair in a braid down her back and a comfy pajama set that looked way too sexy on her curvy body. Little clouds covered the blue-gray fabric, and I wanted to trace my fingers over each one until I worked my way tothe most sensitive parts of her.
She smiled shyly and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. It was so damn adorable, my hands clenched and unclenched, aching to reach for her.
“Okay, what do we need to get done?” I asked.
“Assembling the totes,” she said, clasping her hands together and shrugging her shoulders. As she walked past me, she gave me a flirty glance through her lashes that had me groaning.
