It takes me a second to realize I’m not moving, then I’m out of my daze and back at it. Driving up stronger, harder with each thrust. Clark’s hand snakes between us, reaching down for her clit.

“That’s it, Blair. I wouldn’t dream of it. It’s so sexy when you tell us what you want,” Clark calls from behind.

She breaks our kiss, her hips jerking wildly. “More,” she screams. “Oh...” Blair laughs and covers her mouth.

“No, don’t.” I move her hand away from her cherry lips. “Clark’s right. I love it when you tell us what you want. It makes me want to give you twice as much.”

“Twice as much? I don’t think I’d be able to handle that.”

“Oh, I think you can.” Clark circles her clit again, and Blair gasps.

I wipe the hair away from her forehead and hold her beautiful eyes. Our rhythm bounces the bed. Can she?

“I can,” she gasps, answering my unasked question. I’d stop in a heartbeat if she told me to. I’d do anything she needed. Willingly. I don’t need release or pleasure. “It’s so good.” Her eyes roll into the back of her head.

“You’re so good.” I lean in and nip at her breast.

And she fires off, dragging me with her into a volcano tube of heat. It’s dark and warm, and I never want to leave.

Chapter 37

Alexei

Ileave Forrest in the living room, shaking my head. He’s sitting with Hunter, one of the guard detail that King Altas has put on Blair. Hunter’s young, but Sterling has said a few good things about him in the past. Which is crazy because he never says anything good about anyone. I hover near the guest room door, listening, but it’s quiet.

I knock and enter at the same time. Delmar and her lie on the bed like two sea otters clinging to kelp. I’m fucking glad this is how the outing—or date, as the humans say—went. If it wasn’t so close to the end of the semester, I would have canceled my class and been here. But really, this is better. Her having some time with Delmar is good. It could have been even better if Forrest had gotten out of his own way and joined them.

“Hey there, Boss,” I say. “You look good enough to eat.”

The sheet is pulled up around her breasts. Her bright, pink skin shines in the low light.

Her eyes flick to mine. “I’m not sure about that, but Clark says he’s making me some hedge-tots and that I’m not to move. My stomach was growling.” She laughs and looks at Delmar.

“It was impressive,” Delmar says and kisses her neck.

I’m about to school him that it’s not polite to talk to a human woman that way. But Blair’s beaming at him, so maybe I’m wrong. “Perfect.” I pull off my tunic and slippers and jump into the bed. “I love eating in bed.”

Blair laughs again—no, it’s more of a giggle. It’s enough to make me go hard faster than a shark scenting blood.

“Hi,” she says, turning away from Delmar to face me. Delmar has his arm around her waist. And I’m still on top of the covers. It’s for the best. Even though I’d love to take her right now, she’s not a mermaid. And she’s used to shit males who don’t know how to take care of a woman. So I’m not going to let her get nervous or scare her off.

I reach under the cover and take her hand, bring it to my lips, and kiss it. “Have you had a good day, Boss?”

She laughs again. “Yes, definitely more than good.”

“I’m glad to hear it. But you know how you could have had a better day?”

She hesitates. “No . . .”

“So help me, Alexei, if you say if you were here—” Delmar growls.

“Well, we’ll just keep that between the two of us.” I kiss her cheek and lay my head down on one of the below-standard pillows. Why the heck are they even in the guest room still? “But I’m glad that Delmar knows the secret.”

“I thought there are no secrets in a pod?” Blair’s eyebrows raise.

I’m laughing now. Because that’s what everyone says. But it couldn’t be further from the truth, especially in the Mason pod. Fuck. We don’t deserve her, but I want her so badly. Then again, a mating between a mermaid and a merman can’t be only sexual. I need to put more time in out of bed. We need to get to know each other. Learn about each other. Not that I’m dragging her out of here to take her to study in thedoctro centusia. I’m notcrazy. “Lying in bed while you wait for hedge-tots is one of my favorite ways to relax.”

“When is someone making hedge-tots for you while you lie in bed?” Delmar leans up on his elbow, peering over Blair’s shoulder at me.
