coasted closer but didn’t touch her.
She thought a thousand answers, but she looked into his eyes and saw the moon reflected there. “I am not going to lie.”
His smile was soft, and he eased toward her until he could kiss her. Sparks flew between them. She used her tongue to escalate the contact, and soon, they were slipping under the surface, their limbs unable to untangle in order to keep them above the water.
He wrapped his arm around her and kicked upward. They shot out of the water, and he landed on his feet with her still against him.
She leaned back and laughed. “Very nice. Do you practice that?”
He gave her a serious look. “Do you really want to discuss my technique?”
She smirked. “Not that one.”
“Is your door locked?”
“Nope. You can let yourself in.”
“Oh, I intend to.”
He held her against him and crossed the deck to open her door. Whispered instructions told him where to go after that.
It was time to test for compatibility.
Chapter Four
The mermaid cover quilt was thrown back, and he settled her against the sheets.
She looked up at him and stifled the grin that wanted to well up. Dolphins mated belly to belly, so it was no surprise that he wanted to start with the traditional positions.
Adam parted her thighs and knelt between them.
Lorai watched as he stroked the skin of her inner thigh with no hurry in his touch. She raised her knees in invitation, planting her feet flat on the mattress.
She shivered and enjoyed the building arousal as Adam’s fingers drew closer and closer to her wet slit. Each touch of contrasting magic sent sparks rioting between them. It was delicious.
Just when she was lifting her hips to meet his fingers, he reversed his path and moved down to stroke the backs of her knees.
“This form is lovely. Your skin is so soft.” There was wonder in his tone.
She chuckled. “Thank you. I moisturize.”
He dragged his fingers through her honey. “You certainly do.”
It took a lot to make her blush, but his touch against her made her feel like a young woman again. The centuries of loneliness fell away.
She watched him as he lifted his fingers to his lips and tasted her. He closed his eyes and leaned back on his heels. It looked like he was memorizing her flavour.
Lorai felt a surge of wetness at the image he was giving her. His muscles were tense, the cords of his neck distended and her juices were gleaming on his lips. His tongue darted out to clean away the remnants, and when he opened his eyes, they were glowing with intensity.
He returned his hand to her slit and eased two fingers into her.
He leaned over her and braced himself on his left arm while his right delved into her. He nuzzled her breast before sucking on one nipple then the other.
Lightning shocks of pleasure ran between them, carried on the clash of magic.
She stroked her hands over his arms, caressed his chest and ran her fingers down his abdomen, wrapping her hand around his cock and stroking him.
His hips jerked forward and moisture seeped out of his erection as she smoothed her fingers along the length of him.
He groaned in the valley of her breasts. “Oh, god, that feels good.”
Lorai chuckled. “That is the idea.”
He lifted his head, and they resumed their kiss, but this time, it took on a growling and passionate tone as she released his cock, gripped his hair and raised her hips into his hand.
He thumbed her clit, and her moaning turned to whimpers as her body tensed in anticipation. Her inner muscles clenched on his fingers, and she mewled in disappointment when he pulled his hand away.
He settled in the cradle of her thighs, and she tensed as he pushed the head of his cock against her.
He moved in, and she waited until he was inside her before she rocked her hips upward to take him deep.
Adam groaned against her mouth and rocked his hips in an undulation that stroked every internal inch of her.
Lorai let herself get lost in the moment, the
