“Everything feels new.”
“Fall in love with me all over again,” he invited.
He cradled her face in his hand and touched his lips to hers. She went still, riveted to the feeling, as new and wondrous as their first kiss.
He brushed his lips carefully over hers, giving her time to absorb the thrilling sensations. Overwhelming. And yet she needed more.
She parted her lips for him. He slid his tongue gently in to play against hers, and she experienced his mouth with her Hesperine sense of taste. Stars seemed to skitter across her skin.
Just when she could scarcely bear the delicious feeling any longer, he pulled back. Her eyes focused on his fangs, and her hearing attuned to the pulse of his blood under his skin.
“I brought you here to ease the inundation on your new senses,” he said. “Let’s stay in the bath until you feel comfortable in your own skin.”
She realized how grateful she was for the water around her. “Thank you.”
“I will start touching you. If it feels like too much, tell me to stop. Is that all right?”
His voice warmed her in indecent places. But no places were indecent to Hesperines. “Yes.”
“It will be less intense without direct eye contact.”
She wanted to look into his eyes, but he was right. “I suppose so.”
“Would it feel good if I turn you over?”
She saw the image in their Union. Her clinging to the side of the bath with him standing behind her, entering her fully transformed body for the first time. Even as an immortal, she discovered he could still make her go weak in the knees. “Yes. That’s what I want.”
He smiled. “It is the favorite position for one’s first time as a Hesperine. It will reduce stimulation of your kalux and allow me to guide you. And you can easily drink from my wrist.”
“I can tell you studied this, Sir Scholar.”
He raised a brow, as if to say, of course I did my research. “The ‘Discourse on the Gift’ is the longest section in the Discourses on Love.”
He slid them off of the bench built into the side of the bath. Standing on the bottom of the pool, he turned her around in the water to face the mirrors. They showed her the fantasy she had seen in his mind a moment ago. Her Grace behind her, ready to show her what Hesperine pleasure truly felt like.
“I don’t know how it can be more intense than our Feast during my transformation,” she said.
“Your sense of touch had not awoken then.”
Gooseflesh spread across her skin. Right. He had withdrawn before that final change.
He draped her hair over her shoulder and pressed his cheek to hers. “Aren’t you glad I shaved?”
She moaned in frustration. “By the time your beard grows back in, I will be ready for it.”
“Challenge accepted.”
He began to massage her, starting at her shoulders. With firm hands, he explored her, and they learned her new shape together. In the mirror, she watched her fangs respond to his touch.
When he lifted both of her breasts in his palms, she let her head fall back to rest on his shoulder. In the mirrors on the ceiling, she watched him fondle her under the water. “Is it my imagination…or is there…a little bit more of those than before?”
His enjoyment heated their Union. “They are undoubtedly bigger. But still small enough to be a perfect mouthful.”
Cassia might be short and skinny for eternity, but she finally had breasts.
“And hips.” His hands slid down and squeezed her buttocks. “Just the right amount for me to hold on to while you feast on me. This is your natural shape when you’re healthy.”
Once his massage and the bath lulled her into ease, he lightened his touch, showing her what his caresses felt like. His palm slid down her throat, then across the sensitive top of her shoulder. She couldn’t have borne callouses on his palms, but his smooth scholar’s hands were a delight to her skin. He slipped his hand along the lower curve of her breast, the water making his skin glide over hers, and she bit her lip at how sensitive she was there. He paused.
