I slide out, still hard and rife with desire for her. I press against her, allowing her to feel my lust. “Let’s try this again…run.” I let out a pant and release her.

She sprints past me, but her legs are no match for mine, the bell on her ankle rings to the right, then the left. I catch up to her and grab her wrist.

The gurgle and bubble of the first spring reaches my ears. It’s one of cleansing. I’ve only ever touched it once.

The caves are built on holy ground.

But what better place to take her than in the spring that promises futures beyond your belief even though I know it’s a sad fantasy that the lower gods talk about, like a fairytale you want to believe in but know isn’t true.

Maybe I’ll believe in it tonight.

Maybe I’ll wish on a few stars too, maybe tonight one will fall and save us all.

Maybe I won’t kill her in the morning.

Maybe I’m wrong.

I wrap my arm around her waist and fall with her into the green and blue water. She drifts below the surface, but when I haul her up her eyes are clear, focused on me, needy. “You promise?”

“Promise what?”

“Promise you’ll stay until the morning?” I can’t tell if it’s tears or water dripping down her face, either way I wash it away with my thumbs and lean forward.

Our breathing is in sync, mixing, joining just like our bodies will.

I carry her to the bench near the spring’s waterfall. “I’m staying until the end.”

She exhales against my lips and grabs my cock. “Then make it worth my while…Lord of the Sky.”

“Brave,” I hiss. The pain and pleasure are all too much, just having her against me has me seeing nothing but black waves. They crash onto me, thrusting me into the rocks, tempting me, teasing me with their rough caresses.

“Who needs the sky?”They ask.

“All you need is her.”

“Give in.”Another dark voice, him… Chaos. Even now he tries to tempt me to fail.

I jerk away from the tug, shaking my head, I grip Cleo by the shoulders. For once I want to choose me. I want to die a thousand deaths plunged into her flames.

She wraps her legs around me while I kiss her, and with each touch of her lips something darker pulses in my soul, something I can’t control and don’t want to as I push her up against the rocks surrounding the spring, losing my grip on reality. I dig my hands into her ass.

She hisses in pain.

I kiss it away then realize…

I like it. I like it when I hear her soft pants and screams, knowing they’re for something I did.

She’s driving me mad.

“Cyrus…”

She tries to hold onto me, but I push her beneath the water, my eyes blurring as she shoves against me and hits me on the chest.

I want to drown her so all she sees is my face in the end, all she wants is me. It’s intoxicating, being wanted so desperately by someone.

She was warned.

And here we are.
