“You’re staring a lot, you know,” he remarked. I closed my eyes and flushed in embarrassment that he mentioned it.
“Sorry. I’ve just seen nothing like you before.” My hands covered my face as I curled into the wall of the copper tub.
I felt the water move between us. The shift in the water told me that Vadric was closer. My breath hitched when I felt his hand curl around my wrist. But I kept my eyes closed as he pulled my hand across the short distance and placed it on his chest.
His skin was so hot under my palm, and his flesh was hard but still pliant. Even without my sight, I would know that I wasn’t touching a human. However, it wasn’t unpleasant.
“It’s alright if you’re curious, Mina.” His voice was low, and I felt it dance through me. “I am too.”
At that, I opened my eyes. The air from my lungs slipped past my lips as I stared at my hand on his chest. It looked so small against him.
“You can touch me. If you want to.” His breath shuddered as my hand trailed across his solid chest as soon as the offer was out.
I skimmed my finger over the ridges on his collarbone, then up to the ones on his shoulders that were slightly more pointed. I was so mesmerized while exploring him that I didn’t notice when I was using both hands and moving closer until I was practically in his lap. Touching his shoulders, over his powerful biceps and marveling at the size and strength of him.
Suddenly, I felt his tail curling over my ankle under the water. It was warm and gripped me gently, as if Vadric wasn’t even aware of it happening. But it startled me, and I bumped into Vadric’s chest.
Under the water, I felt his swollen cock suddenly pressed against my stomach.
His breath hissed out, and I gasped. But I didn’t move. Because heat flooded my body, from my head to my toes, and I felt a needy throb between my thighs spreading through my limbs.
Slowly, facing him again, we locked eyes. He was so much taller than me that even sitting in the tub, he was towering over me. My head didn’t reach his chin, and I wasn’t close to his face, but I wondered what it would feel like to kiss him.
“You—you can touch me, too.” My voice wavered, but I wanted to offer the same opportunity he was giving me. Some part of me wanted to feel those large, powerful hands on my skin.
We didn’t break eye contact when he pulled his arms from the edges of the tub. I stayed as still as stone until the instant his hands covered my shoulders. His touch made me shiver, and his cock twitched against my stomach.
Vadric’s hands were terrifyingly large, but I couldn’t lie to myself to say that I didn’t enjoy how they felt roaming over my skin. His touch was surprisingly gentle, and he was wary not to scratch me with his claws. Carefully, he rubbed down my shoulders and along my arms. I held my breath when his palms skimmed down my sides, and I felt like a little doll in his hands.
Maybe he did on purpose, maybe he didn’t, but his grip briefly tightened on my hips and that caused me to move forward. Squishing his pulsing cock harder between us until I could feel the ridges on it.
I clenched my jaw, but my breathing shuddered, because Vadric’s hands went over my hips to my ass. He squeezed and a small whimper escaped my throat. A groan echoed from him in response, and he pulled my cheeks so far apart that my pussy lips spread open.
My hips tilted forward from the action, and it caused my spread pussy to rub against his cock and I moaned from the friction. That instantly made us both freeze. Breathing hard, crushed against one another in the warm water, we stilled completely.
Those yellow eyes took in the swells of my breasts, pushed against his chest, and I felt him tremble under me. His cock twitched against me, and the ridges felt so good when they moved against my clit. It was so tempting to rub myself over the length of his shaft.
“You’re so soft,” Vadric whispered, awed by what he felt in his hands. He let go of my ass and his palms rubbed over my back, then around to my sides again. His hands slipped between our chests, and I held my breath when he cupped my breasts.
“Soft.” This time, it was an animalistic growl that escaped him while he massaged my breasts.
“Ah,” I cried out, and my head arched back. I always thought my breasts were average. Perky and big enough to please most men. They felt small as his palms covered them, however.
It stunned me when he pressed the pad of his thumb over one of my nipples. They already pebbled from the rising tide of desire in my core, but the shock of his touch sent goosebumps over my skin. My hips jerked again as Vadric played with my nipples, and he merely growled as my pussy began grinding along his cock.
Each ridge on his cock bumped against my clit as I ground myself on him. I couldn’t help myself from the heat clouding my mind and body. His touch was thrilling, and I wanted more of it.
“Mina,” he rumbled, and I quivered, rocking myself on his cock. My arms lifted to his shoulders, and I held onto Vadric as I humped the length of his cock.
With my head thrown back in ecstasy, I didn’t see his long, serpentine tongue slither from his mouth. But I felt it when the warm, wet tip flicked over my exposed throat. I whimpered, and his tongue continued to taste my skin, tickling me as he went.
The slight point at the tip of his tongue curled around my nipple and I bodily shuddered against him, moaning loudly. His tongue moved between my breasts, and Vadric licked across my chest, letting out a growling purr as he went.
Dropping his hands from my breasts and into the water, he grabbed my hips and pulled me harder against him. Vadric bucked his hips, meeting my grinding, until we were rocking together under the water. His cock slipped over my pussy repeatedly, pushing the ridges against my clit again and again.
The pleasure in my body crested over the highest peak, and the pressure in my core snapped. My legs trembled and my nails dug into Vadric’s shoulders as I came hard.
“Ah!” My head snapped back up, and I watched his long, reddish tongue flicking over my nipples as I rode through my orgasm. It was terrifying to see the monstrous teeth in his open mouth as I came, but that extra spike of fear sent another bought of pleasure through my body and made me shake more.
