As Mum had packed their bags to go, I’d sat on their bed, jealousy pinching just a little. I’d travelled with my parents to New Zealand when I was eleven to help study the native Hector’s Dolphins. The water had been crisp and the weather temperamental, but I’d never forgotten what it’d felt like to have the smallest dolphin in the world stare right into my soul.
Mum had waited until Dad left the room before asking quietly, “Do you want to come, sweetie? You don’t start uni for another six weeks.”
My heart had leapt, and if life was just about me, I would’ve started packing immediately.
But it was no longer just about me.
I had Aslan.
And he couldn’t step foot in an airport, let alone a plane.
The thought of leaving him alone, not knowing if something would happen while I was away, that I might never see him again?
No.
Just no.
I would never be able to leave him, and I didn’t care if that made me stupid or lovestruck. I would rather enjoy every moment with Aslan, tucked up in our garden and hidden on the sea, than travel the world without him.
Eventually, you’ll get your own research assignments.
You’ll be sent overseas for work.
I shuddered.
“Hey...” Aslan whispered, brushing hair away from my sun-pinked cheeks. “What are you thinking about? You suddenly look sad.”
“Sad?” I kissed him. “Not sad.”
“Tell me what you were thinking.”
I hadn’t kept anything from him. I’d always been so honest—sometimes too honest—yet...how could I tell him that I’d happily spend the rest of my life never stepping foot out of this town again if it meant I got to keep him forever?
All my other dreams of travelling the world: of visiting the Narwhals in Greenland and the monk seals in the Mediterranean Sea were incomparable to the biggest dream of all. The dream of marrying him (for real) and creating a world with him.
“I’m fine, Aslan.” I wrapped my hand harder around his erection.
His nostrils flared. His hips rocked into my palm. But his eyes remained worried. They stayed worried as I shoved his boardshorts down just enough to free him, brushed away my untied bikini, and angled him to pierce inside me.
My mouth fell open as he pushed the moment he sensed my heat.
His jaw worked as he claimed me, stretched me, didn’t stop taking me until he’d given me every inch of himself. Only once he was fully seated and our short, shallow breathing matched each other did he bend his neck and kiss me.
He kissed me as he thrust into me, sending coils of need and crackles of electricity through my blood. He kissed me as if he knew where my thoughts had gone and felt the same agony of separation even though we were still in each other’s arms.
He swallowed a growl as he hitched my leg over his ass, widening my hips for him to rock a little bit deeper. “I’ll always love you, Neri. Always.”
“I know.” I blinked back sudden tears. “There will never be a moment where I don’t love you.”
He kissed me again, his hips thrusting in time with his tongue in my mouth.
The towel beneath us bunched and gathered as we forgot we were people with words and reverted to animals that only spoke a language of lust and tongues.
I moaned as he buried his face against my neck, his spine rounding to pump into me. “How am I still so sensitive when it comes to you? I could fuck you a million times, and each time, it feels as if you’re pouring lightning into my veins.”
“How quickly could you come?” I whispered, crying out as he drove particularly deep.
“I could come right now,” he groaned. “I could come just from being inside you. It’s a daily battle not to embarrass myself.”
