His eyes widened with excitement. “Yes! Let’s do that!”
I pulled him close again, my arm secure around his waist. Our faces were inches apart, and I could see every droplet of water clinging to his eyelashes.
“Ready?” I whispered.
Teddy nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. “Ready.”
I pressed my lips to his, breathing into him, sharing the magic that allowed me to survive underwater. His body relaxed against mine as he realized he could breathe, and I deepened the kiss, my tongue exploring his mouth as I guided us back beneath the waves.
We stayed underwater for what felt like hours, though it was probably closer to thirty minutes. I showed him a hidden underwater cave, its ceiling dotted with tiny openings that let shafts of sunlight pierce the blue depths. We floated there together, kissing and touching in the ethereal light, weightless and free.
When we finally returned to the shore, the sun was high overhead, beating down on our wet skin. We collapsed onto the warm sand, breathless and laughing.
“That was incredible,” Teddy said, propping himself up on one elbow to look at me. The transformation back to myhuman form had been automatic as we approached the shallows. “Thank you for sharing that with me.”
I smiled, feeling oddly vulnerable. “I’ve never shown anyone that place before. Not even Linden knows about it.”
“Why me?” he asked, his voice soft.
The question hung between us, dangerous and tempting. I knew the answer, but I couldn’t say it. Not without risking everything.
“Because you asked,” I replied instead, reaching out to brush sand from his cheek. “And because you’re not afraid of what I am.”
Teddy caught my hand, pressing a kiss to my palm that made my heart stutter. “How could anyone be afraid of something so beautiful?”
I wanted to warn him that beautiful things were often the most dangerous. That the most alluring creatures in nature were usually the deadliest. But I couldn’t bring myself to break this perfect moment.
Instead, I leaned forward and kissed him, pouring everything I couldn’t say into the press of my lips against his. He responded eagerly, his hand sliding into my hair as he pulled me closer.
The kiss deepened, his tongue sliding against mine as his body shifted to cover me. The weight of him felt perfect, grounding me as desire flooded through my veins. His hardening cock pressed against my thigh, matching my own growing arousal.
“I want you,” he murmured against my lips. “Here, in your place.”
Chapter 23
Teddy
“Then you’ll have me,” Nerion replied, his voice thick with need. “But this time, it’s my turn.”
I didn’t have to ask what he meant as he threw a leg over me, straddling my waist in one graceful movement. He leaned back, pressing his ass against my hardening cock.
The sensation of his weight on top of me sent a jolt of anticipation through my body. Sand clung to our damp skin as Nerion rocked his hips, grinding against my erection with deliberate, teasing motions. His eyes, reflecting the blue of the Aegean, held mine with an intensity that made my breath catch.
“I’m always fucking you,” he murmured, leaning down to brush his lips against mine. “But I want to know what it feels like to have you fill me up instead.”
My hands found his hips, gripping the smooth skin there as he continued his tantalizing movements. “Are you sure?” I asked, my voice hoarse.
Nerion nodded, his red hair falling forward to frame his face. “More than sure. I’ve been thinking about riding your cock since that first night. But it’s not something I do for just anyone.”
He reached between us, wrapping his fingers around my length and positioning it against his entrance. The head of mycock pressed against him, and I realized with a start that he was already slick.
“When did you?—”
“Perks of being a siren,” he explained with a wicked grin. “We’re always ready.”
Before I could process that information, Nerion was sinking down onto me, his body swallowing my cock with agonizing slowness. His hole was impossibly tight and hot around me, a stark contrast to the cool water droplets still clinging to his skin. I watched his face transform as he took me deeper, his lips parting in a silent gasp, eyelids fluttering.
“Fuck,” I breathed, fighting the urge to thrust upward. “You feel amazing.”
