I hoisted her higher into my grip. She was my lotus who remained at ease in my presence when all else ran from me. She was different, and I must reward that after she gorged herself on her water.
Both of us would be satiated.
My mouth salivated from craving another taste of her nectar.
The flowing geyser echoed nearby. She could drink from the stream trickling down into the heated pool.
I curved her tiny body closer. A delicacy should be treated with utmost care.
My fingers twitched.
I narrowed my eyes down at her, surprised she hadn’t removed her gaze from me. I clicked my teeth together and hissed, but she simply blinked, and that sweet smell of fear seeped into my nose, causing my breeding member to lift.
Only a moment longer until I had another taste. I gritted my teeth. Control—I did not wield it until now. A few steps later, the roaring echo reached its pinnacle as I approached the circular entrance. The ledge fell in a steep drop, and I stepped off, bracing the screaming human to my chest. I landed with an explosion of dirt scattering around me.
The human’s chest heaved, and she gripped onto me harder, her legs flailing. I had landed with a thud, but she continued to scream, her voice melding with the falling cascade. I remained mesmerized as I stared at her cinched eyes. A faint charred scent mixed with sweet fear.
I sneered, recoiling from the overwhelming burn. Strange human had various scents to her. She thwapped on the ground with my desperate move to be away from the uncomfortable knot creeping its way into my throat. The scream cut off, and she gawked up at me. I stared down wide-eyed, my glow flickering. Her reactions only confused me. Energy exploded through my limbs, lighting up my runes and illuminating the cavern.
I followed her gaze as she studied the falling water with her pulse bouncing at her throat. Blue glinted from the steady stream.
Her hair whipped over her shoulder as she looked back toward me, her attention fixed on the lines embedded into my flesh. She pushed to her feet and hobbled. After one step, her legs buckled, and I swept her into my arms. Holding the female wasn’t abhorrent. Her soft flesh rubbing against mine made me want to do it continuously. She let out a small squeak. Her palm slapped down on my side, but I ignored it. Her lips parted and soft breaths left her mouth. A thundering drum matched the thump at her throat.
The reaction mimicked the one when she’d first seen the water ... she desired the water, so I would give it to her. Liquid sloshed with my wide steps and splashed onto my thighs as I went deeper.
“Wait, I need to take my clothing off!”
She tugged at the collar of her dress, staring at me. This material was called ... clothing? I slipped my claw beside her strange clawless hand, pressing down into the material. Before I could tear it off, she gripped my wrist with her free hand.
“No!”
I stopped, frowning at her.
“It’s my only one,” she muttered, forcing my claw free from her collar. She wiggled, and I settled my grip near her legs to steady her so she did not slip out of my arms.
Bridget reached down and bunched the bottom of the material and wiggled it over her waist, baring smooth skin. The skin on her thighs pressed into where I held her, and the silkiness caused difficulty to my breathing.
So soft ...
“Help me down.” I lowered her into the water, and she clasped one of my hands while her other bunched the clothing at her waist. I gawked down at her hand. Gray, normal flesh to her pale, strange one.
A mass of fluttering fabric thudded a few feet away onto the dry ground, and when I returned my attention to her, she covered her breasts with her free arm, not releasing my hand.
I couldn’t take my gaze off her creamy skin. Another taste ... My runes brightened and my back tightened. She pulled me out of her thrall as she stepped deeper into the spring until the water licked her knees.
“The water is so clear,” she murmured. With a trembling exhale, she moved in the rest of the way, dragging me after her until water covered her breasts, while it remained at my waist.
She exhaled and released my hand. I squeezed it, not wanting to release her. Her mouth parted with a harsh exhale, and I forced myself to let her go. She cupped her hands, splashing water over herself. I couldn’t help but watch her exploring movements. She rubbed the water over her shoulders, head tipping back.
A vibration that had never come from my chest escaped. Her eyes closed as she rubbed her flesh, and a strangely blissful expression crossed her face. A knot tightened in my gut.
What was this reaction?
My appendage lifted and poked through the water. I frowned down at it.
She peered down as if looking for something within the depth, and with a nod, she held her breath and dropped, disappearing underneath the surface.
My chest constricted and it became difficult to draw in a breath. The water splashed around my biceps as I reached beneath and gripped her soft skin and yanked her out.
