I tugged at my shirt and she watched me as I stripped off all of my clothing, hot and sweaty from spending the day scouring the desert. Her eyes raked over me, widening as she took in my body and my cock pulsed as her gaze landed on it.
She glanced away, red creeping onto her pale cheeks. Saying nothing more, I stepped into the water, sighing with pleasure as the liquid soothed my tense muscles.
“What would it take to get you in here with me?”
“Nothing you have.” She responded, turning her back on me.
“How about another trade? A secret for a favor?”
She turned to me, eying me. “How would I know you were telling the truth?”
I smiled. She’d taken the bait. “Don’t you think you could tell?”
Without any hesitation, she crossed the chamber, kicking off her shoes next to the chair I’d thrown our things on.
Her hands went to the buttons of her dress and I bit my lip, forcing myself to stay still as she undid it. The fabric hung loosely off of her shoulders, revealing the smooth line of her back and the curve of her hips.
My eyes trailed over her body as she pulled away all of her clothes, reveling in its beauty. Her skin was pale as snow, with a smattering of freckles on her chest and down to her stomach. The silver strands of her hair glimmered in the dim light like Ydonja’s stars against a night sky and I wanted nothing more than to touch it, to feel its softness against my skin. Every part of her was curvaceous perfection, and I grew intensely aroused by the sight before me.
“Atar almighty,” I murmured in Elvish, and she tossed a glower over her shoulder at me.
Her clothing lay discarded on the ground as she slipped into the pool, no trace of shyness or modesty visible on her face as she moved closer to me. The water lapped against her body like a hungry lover, and my desire surged up within me before I tamped it back down again. Not until she begged.
Ripples radiated outwards as she slowly submerged herself up to her shoulders in the cool liquid.
My breath caught as I watched her revel in the blissful pleasure of water against her skin. She closed her eyes and tilted back her head until only half of her face emerged from beneath the surface, basking in its embrace as if she were worshiping a god. Her long hair swirled around her and I knew then why Kearis had fallen in love with Cetena, the water only adding to her ethereal beauty.
“How do you know how to swim?” I asked in Elvish, and she rolled her eyes.
“I’m asking the questions.” She responded in the same language, her brusque attitude in place before her mouth fell open as she realized what she’d done.
Caught her.
I grinned, moving closer. “I’d wondered if you understood my tongue. Your glares always seemed well-timed.”
“Clever.” She dead-panned and I chuckled. “Where did you go today?” She continued in Elvish, her accent lilting in a way that made my cock throb.
“Into the Red Wilds,” I answered without elaborating, determined to make her rack up as many questions as possible. For all her talk about honor, I’d push her to repay me in kind.
“They’re pretty large...” she said, letting the question dangle for me to finish.
“Hmm.” I stifled a laugh at her expression as I avoided her trap. My mother was the most conniving woman on the planet. She couldn’t think that I’d fall for that.
“What did you find?”
“The rebel base.” She didn’t react, as if she’d already guessed, and a niggling suspicion began in the back of my mind.
“What happened?” She demanded, moving close to me in the water. My erection brushed her stomach, and she gasped, taking a step away from me.
“Ah, ah,” I said, my gaze tracing her face. Her cheeks were more flushed than usual, her breath coming in little puffs. She was as affected by me as I was by her. “That’s two questions. Answer one of mine or do me another favor.”
She gave me a withering glance. “Ask.”
“What’s your name?” She opened her mouth, and I cut her off. “Your real name. Not anymore of this ‘Lily’ business.”
She sighed, frustrated. “Kael. Short for Kaella,” she answered. “That counts as two answers.”
“Kael,“ I murmured, looking into her eyes. “It suits you better.” She looked away again and cleared her throat, irritated with how much she had revealed to me in this short amount of time.
