He dragged my mind back to the bathing pool. We were still sitting on the ledge.
“I can take them off. They’re too uncomfortable to leave on.” I started to pull my head away, but he tugged it back and tucked it against his neck again.
“No.” His hands were gentle as they slid down my back to the metal over my lower bits.
I shivered slightly, and his cock responded to my movement. The throb of it made me warmer. I was too exhausted for anything steamy to happen, but I still liked feeling his body’s reaction to me.
“Stay still. I’m going to break it with ice.” He smoothed a hand over my lower back again and made me shiver once more.
“Ice can break metal?”
“Ice can break just about anything if you try hard enough. A few flimsy strips of metal aren’t a problem.” His knuckles brushed my skin with a little pressure, and then I felt a gentle snap near my hip. He moved to the other side and repeated the motion.
Then his hand slid between our bodies.
I clenched at his nearness to my core.
“Stay still, Nissa.”
He snapped the metal there, and then carefully eased it down and under me. The backs of his fingers brushed my clit, making me feel all hot and fluttery.
“You smell divine,” he said as he tossed the metal away. My backside landed on his thighs, and I inhaled unevenly at the pressure of his bare cock against my core.
Veil, that was blissful.
“I’m sure I smell like blood and the Beast.”
“You did.” Kierden found the latch at the back of the piece that wrapped around my breasts. He snapped the thin bands that went over my shoulders, and then eased me away from his chest so he could pull the metal away. “Now, all I can smell is your desire.”
He pulled me back against his chest, then slipped into the water. My throat closed at the intense feeling of my breasts pressed against his warm, hard, bare chest.
I tried to clear my throat, and failed, so I distracted myself from my desire by asking, “Can the Beast hurt you or find you through me?”
“No. He can only hunt his target, just as he can only purposefully kill that person or creature. The elves thought that little rule would protect them from their assassins. As you saw, there are ways around it.”
Veil.
“He was terrifying,” I admitted. “But strangely attractive. I always assumed monsters were ugly.”
“What good is an ugly monster? The more attractive it is, the more efficiently it can lure its pray or lull it into comfort.”
“Well, that’s a scary thought,” I murmured.
“Aren’t fae beautiful? And elves, demons, and dragons? The beauty of a creature distracts others from seeing the truth.”
“I don’t know ifthat’sthe case. I thought you were beautiful when we first met, but I still knew you were a bastard when you opened your mouth,” I murmured.
He chuckled. “Perhaps you’re a monster too, then.” His finger trailed up my tailbone. I shivered against him, making his cock throb again.
“I don’t think I’m beautiful enough to be a monster,” I admitted. “I’ll never look like you guys. And I have the ugly round ears, which I obviously can’t change.”
“If you knew how many times I’ve imagined tracing those round ears with my tongue, I doubt you’d find them ugly.”
“You’re the one who told me they were ugly!” I exclaimed.
He scoffed. “I didnot.”
“Yes, you did. You pulled my hair away from them on the first day and gave me this look of complete and utter disgust. I thought you might vomit.”
