“But this is different.”

“How?” She scoots closer to me. “Tell me how.” And then she just says fuck it all, and climbs right into my lap. Her hands grip my shoulders as she stares down into my eyes.

“How is this different? We’re not kids, Five. We’re adults. We’re practically the same age as our parents when all that shit happened to them. Hell, I’m two years older than Aunt Rook when she saved Ronin.” She places both her hands flat on my face, like she needs to make me listen. “Tell me what’s going on.”

But she’s perfect and pretty and I don’t want to spoil it. The clouds have moved on and the moonlight is shining down on us like a spotlight. The stars are twinkling up there, putting on a special show. The night is almost over and pretty soon the sun will chase it away and nothing will ever be the same.

“Later,” I say, lying back and taking her with me. We fall together and I catch her in my arms, hold her tightly to my chest and kiss her. “Later,” I whisper into her mouth. “Because there’s no way I’m gonna let this night fade and not take what I came for.”

My hand slides across her ass, fingers slip under her panties, and find her wet.

She and I moan together.

“Fuck me,” she says. “Right here, Five. Do you have any idea how many times I’ve pictured us on this rock? How many ways? I just need—”

“Be still and be quiet.” I roll us over, making her gasp with surprise.

She smiles in approval.

“Look up, Princess.” She does. And as she does, I sit up and scoot down to the edge of the rock. I jump down into the creek, the cold water a shock that cools me off and heats me up at the same time. And then I reach for the elastic of her panties, drag them down her legs, and spread her open.

Her knees come up automatically. I press her thighs down on the rock, holding her in place as my face dips down between her legs to lick her.

She grips my hair tight, urging me on as she bucks her back and closes her eyes.

“No,” I say. “Look up. I want you to see the night sky and think of me, Rory Shrike. So that every night we have to spend apart will remind you of this night.” I whisper all this, my lips right up against her pussy. They vibrate over her sweet, sensitive folds.

She grips my hair tighter, making my cock hard with anticipation.

I sweep my tongue over her opening. Wiggle it against her clit. We have only had sex once. Just once. And it was a long time ago. We were still kids.

Well, we’re not kids now.

I let her thighs go so I can slip a finger inside her. She makes the most delicious noises in response. My other hand reaches up, pushing her shirt out of the way so I can grab her tits. Her hand clamps down on mine as I tug her bra down and pinch her nipple.

I want to make her come. I want to hear those sweet sounds come from her mouth. I want to have her writhing, and moaning, and gasping for air as she begs for more.

My face is pressed between her legs, my lips wet from her desire, my fingers coated in sweetness as I slip another inside and slowly… slowly… fuck her with my fingers.

She stops making demands of any kind. Her hand drops off mine, both of them pressed flat on the rock. I push her leg up, bringing her knee to her shoulder, and when she closes her eyes and begins to whimper, I suck on her clit. I lick it like candy as I pump her with my fingers.

“Come,” I command. “Come right now or I’ll—”

But I don’t even get to finish my kinky threat. Because she gushes her release and fills the night with the most beautiful moan.

I withdraw my fingers and press my tongue inside her pussy, catching her climax and eating it up.

“Fuck me,” she whispers. It’s hoarse and half-hearted, but that’s only because she’s been subdued by my attention.

I climb back onto the rock, my legs straddling her waist. I grab her tits tightly in both hands and squeeze them as I lean down and let her taste what I just did.

She kisses me back with no hesitation.

And when I’m done sharing, I roll us over. Her on top as I look up at the night sky. Burn it into my mind. Put her face up there. Put us up there. We own it.

Her fingers are already unbuttoning my shorts, her hand already slipping inside. Her fist around my long, hard cock, pumping as everything stops in my world.

And when my princess wraps her lips around me for the very first time, I close my eyes and tell the sky to go away and let me float.
