“Don’t come,” she gasps. “Please don’t, not yet. I need more.” She’s begging, pleading with me to not stop.
I reach into a part of me I didn’t know existed. Over and over again, I thrust into her.
“Don’t come. Don’t come.” She’s panting, begging me to make her come, hard. “Please, Holter, please.”
In one quick movement, I flip her onto her stomach. My cock pulls free, leaving a sticky trail over her ass. She’s on her knees, her hands bound, her ass up high and perfect for me. My cock is aching for her, but I’m fighting the orgasm that’s trying to take me. Forcing myself to hold on. I plunge into her. And I can’t hold back anymore. I wrap my arm around her, my head on her back, and flick her clit as my cock jerks and the orgasm shoots into her.
She screams and clenches, taking us both higher. I collapse over her, my hand gentle on her ass cheek, stroking her. She rolls over.
“Wow, so good.” She’s shaking and rolls her head to the side. “Holter?”
My breath is gone, and I’m not sure I even recognize my own name. I smooth a braid back from her glowing face, and my eyes drift closed again as I answer. “Belle.”
“I...” Her voice trembles a little, and I can’t have her say anything else. I’m afraid she’ll say words I want to hear but that I can’t hear or have for many, many years to come. I kiss her, stopping her from talking. It’s slow and passionate. Too passionate, but I want her to know that while we can’t be together, I feel it too. This is a gray area. With or without Nico here, she’s not my mate. She’s not mine. No matter what my subconscious says.
We lie naked, her hair spread out over the pillow, her body curled up against me. I should get dressed, go back to my room, but I don’t want to.
She rolls over onto her belly, props herself up on her elbows. “I’m going to go make some coffee for us both. Because we deserve, it.” But she doesn’t move either. She lets out a giggle. A giggle. She never stops surprising me.
I never expected her to try to escape, and when Nico told me of how she saved him, it surprised me all over again. But then Nico surprised me too. Letting those who let Belle escape live? Yeah, that was shocking. My fingers are tangled in her hair when I see the shadows outside the pod chamber window. I lean up, but it’s just the shark trainers again. They couldn’t have seen us in here. I drop my head.
“What’s that?” Annabelle jumps up, the sheet clutched to her pale breasts. “Who’s outside?” She darts into the hallway, and I follow.
26
Annabelle
Every cell in my body that had been relaxed is now on high alert. The break-in from the other day has me listening to every creak, any rogue fish that slaps against the glass at night.
“Who is that out there?”
“That’s the training crew for the sharks.” Holter stands behind me, but not close enough to touch. Like he doesn’t want the mermen outside the window to see us together.
“Constantine’s?”
“Yes. He sent me a message this morning. They’re going to be here most of the day. They’re going to want to have you come outside later today.”
“Me? Outside?” I swallow, my pulse tapping out a frantic tune.
“Yeah.”
“But I don’t have a tail.”
“I know. But you can still go out there.”
“Won’t it get around?”
“No, there are some people who swim without shifting into their fluke. If they’ve gotten a tattoo recently, for one.” He smiles at me. “Do you want me to make you some coffee?”
“I said I was going to make it for you. You know you don’t have to do everything for me, right?”
“Belle, I like doing things for you. Besides I’m the guest here. I should be helping.”
I know he’s just trying to be nice, but it hits me hard. I don’t want him to be a guest. And at the same time, I don’t want this to be mine. My head is continually jumbled. “I know. That’s how you say it has to be.”
“For now.”
Those two words put a thrill through me, and I want to squeal. I shouldn’t want someone who doesn’t want me. But I can’t help it. I’ve gone from feeling wanted and cherished to something stored in the basement. Literally the basement.
