“Sure, but it’s pretty low. No one sees it anyway.”

“I need to examine it in detail but not right now.” His grip shifted, and when he was done, the leg that was on her thigh was between them. His hand could now slide against her sex.

Pria closed her eyes and kept her breathing soft as his fingers stroked before his middle finger parted her, letting the warm honey out.

He kissed her neck and licked the lobe of her ear softly.

She stayed relaxed and played the audio for the explanation in her head.

As she focused, the voice became Riro’s.

She heard the low, slow tones explaining every touch, how it made him feel, and how to give him a signal that she enjoyed it. At that request, her body slicked his fingers.

He pulled her closer, and his fingers circled her clit over and over.

She shuddered and curled toward him, his hand on her breast keeping her from curling up, and his knee between her thighs kept them open.

“The tension is going to increase until it releases in a near-painful rush. There are thousands of climaxes, and this is just one of them.”

He moved his hand, and now his thumb was circling, and his fingers were edging into her.

She grabbed his wrist and heard, “Hold on as tight as you need to. I won’t break.”

She held on as his deliberate caresses took her to the edge, held her there, and then, with one whispered order, she shuddered. “Let go.”

His fingers slid into her and felt the fluttering. He eased a third digit in, and she gasped as it set off more waves, as whining and panting saw her through her first time letting go.

He kissed her neck and kept his fingers inside her as he eased her to her back for a kiss. He smiled and caressed her neck. He glanced down and blinked. “Your breasts stay in place?”

She laughed. “I swim. The muscle under them does most of the hard lifting.”

“Your shoulders normally would carry most of the load.”

“What can I say? Weird genes.”

“Good genes. May I continue?”

Pria leaned up and kissed him, holding his face. She went through the steps in her head until it was comfortable, and then she stroked his lips with her tongue and tasted him. She heard him humming, and his fingers continued to move in her.

“May I take over now?”

She leaned back and nodded. “Yes.”

He looked at her, kissed her softly, and then moved his hand from between her thighs. He shifted until he was over her and smiled. “Pay attention.”

She stared up at him and smiled. “I promise to jump you later, once I know how this works.”

He grinned. “I know you are a woman of your word.”

He kissed her again and started to work his way down her body. He spent a lot of time with her breasts, and when he combined the stimulation with his hand, she let go again. For one moment, she didn’t hold back, she didn’t think, she just... let go.

When she came to herself, he was angling her legs up and wide. When he settled against her and aligned himself with her opening, she was still throbbing and twitching a little. He eased into her, retreated, and continued, getting further inside with every slow thrust.

She blinked and closed her eyes as she focused on the feeling of him inside her. He was so much warmer than she was, and as he went deeper, the heat followed. She ignored the soft sounds that she was making until he murmured, “Open your eyes.”

She opened her eyes, and he smiled. She ran her hands up his arms and smiled back at him. He leaned in to kiss her and started rocking nearly out and surging back in.

She saw the ocean in his eyes and the cascade of his hair that was moving on its own.

He kissed her again and continued moving, thrusting harder and faster, causing her to vocalize to the beat.

Her release caught her by surprise, and she dug her nails into his shoulders as she stared at him.

He smiled slightly and kept moving, spurring her spasms on until he thrust in, held himself against her, and shuddered, groaning long and low.

He kept his gaze locked to hers, and then he relaxed against her, kissing her softly.

She wrapped her arms around him and just held him to her. He eventually raised himself up on his arms and said, “I don’t want to go.”

“I will issue an invitation that you can return anytime you want, as long as you warn me you are coming.”

He grinned. “I will accept the invitation.”

“Uh-huh. RSVP before making a move.”

He laughed. “Understood.”

He slowly extracted himself, which caused a slippery rush. “Oh, that is unsettling.”

He laughed and stood, his cock gleaming. “I will get something to clean you up.”

She sat up and looked at the mess, taking notes. It wasn’t messy so much as not supposed to be there. He returned with a warm cloth and tidied up. He glanced at her. “You do understand that I was being careful.”

“Yes. I have been educated on rough sex, surprise sex, quick sex, and the use of alternate entrances or exits, depending on your opinion.”

He grinned and returned the cloth to what she guessed was the bathroom. She moved and felt more seeping. The sensation was the same as the one described, and she sighed and got up.

He chuckled. “Your face indicates you are uncomfortable.”

“I am leaking.”

He wrapped his arms around her, looking down. “What is it you said when you knocked me on my ass in training? Sorry, not sorry?”

She made a face. “How long does this last?”

“Us? Until we die, probably. I want to be old and grey and chasing you around the reef.”

“That’s... a mental image.”

He grinned. “Isn’t it?”

“Is there anywhere here that I can get a job?”

He frowned. “Why?”

“Because I don’t have enough money to feed myself. Well, I have the money I made keeping Cabree from panicking. That should make me able to get clothes and stuff. I can fish and live in the water, I guess.” She bit her lip.

“Don’t you have the funds from your time with the guard?”

“No. I was an apprentice. My income was surrendered to pay for my medical care, and then there was a crowdfunding from the place of the accident that bought me my walking suit. I came out of the whole thing with enough to rent a studio apartment for two months, without clothing or food, so I took the cruise. I may as well live on the ocean that tried to kill me.”

“So, the BDC thing...”

“I need money.” She smiled. “This is fun and all, but I don’t freeload. I pull my own weight. Escorts make a lot of money, and it’s challenging work but not frequent.”

He closed his eyes. “I made a stupid judgment.”

“What? Having sex with me? Was that an error?” She was hurt.

“No! I just assumed that you were in the same financial situation as Cabree. Guards make a lot of money. I know I certainly did. I even got bonuses for getting you out of the water.”

“Oh. They wanted to sue me for loss of resources because you quit. Their lawyer was told it wouldn’t look good to sue someone who was paralyzed saving a city.”

He was shocked. “What?”

“Oh, yeah. They missed you.”

“So, not only were you immobile, but they were trying to sue you.”

“Yeah, I guess they didn’t want to admit that I had no income to draw from. The capitol didn’t recruit me; they purchased me. You don’t need to pay a slave.”

He froze. “What?”

“Sethir dowry off their daughters. So, the capitol paid my dowry, which meant they could do what they wanted with me. It’s one of the reasons I didn’t have a com. They aren’t strictly necessary, and I had no funds to buy one.” She shrugged. “Ladies in my situation often sell sex.”

He looked at her, and there was a troubled expression on his face. He hugged her tight a moment later. “Don’t. Please don’t. You can have everything I own. You can have this island. Whatever you need.”

“I just need food, clothing, and something to do. Maybe I can take up pearl diving.”

He squeezed her. “We will find something.”

“Can we find clothes? The cum trail is getting cold.”

He leaned back and dipped in to kiss her sweetly. “Yes. We can. Cabree brought your bags last night.”

“Cabree bought almost all of them.”

He sighed. “I didn’t think you were in that situation.”

“Yeah. You said that. You can check the financials and find out the details. They even charged me for the bodysuit. That’s why it was so lightweight.”

He muttered, “Which is why you were so broken.”

“Yeah. Good thing I couldn’t feel it.”

He shuddered and pulled away. “Right. Let’s get you dressed and fed, and we will figure this out.”

She nodded. “Okay. No pointy teeth so far, so that’s good.”

They found her luggage, and she dug through it to get a dress and underwear.

She got dressed, went to the bathroom, and found a brush. She smoothed her hair and tied it in a knot.

He had a wrap and sandals on and held out a pair for her. She slid them on, and he tied the ankle straps and stroked her legs.

“No hair there either.”

He laughed. “Right. I believe my mother has left a meal for us.”

“Oh, yeah?”

He walked her through the house and showed her around. “You have a big house.”

“I do. My father left my mother a very large trust for me. I haven’t needed it yet. I have always found a way to make my way in the world without his help.”

She was looking at him and saw a gleam in his eyes.

“Pria?”

“Yes?”

“Will you marry me?”

She came to a halt, facing the kitchen. “What?”

“Will you marry me?”

He turned toward her and said, “I suppose I should kneel.” He knelt. “How about now?”

She blinked. “They didn’t cover this in the instructions.”

“How did your parents marry?”

“They were assigned as partners by their parents. It was arranged. They got along pretty well.”

“So, would you consider arranging yourself with me?”

“I did that this morning, and the end result was damp underwear.”

He grinned. “Come, my little shark. There is no one better for me than you, and I have a wedding gift for you that would have driven my father insane.”

“Oh, do tell.”

“You have to say yes first.” His eyes were sparkling.

“Yes?”

“Not enthusiastic, but I will take it.” He took her hands and kissed them. “We will arrange the jewellery this afternoon.”

“What?”

“It is traditional to make sure that the bride-to-be is clearly marked.”

“Why?”

“So that other males know if they try anything, you are going to do that trick with the water jet. By the way, the Hyreno king was suitably appalled.”

She grinned. “You just made my day.”

“It is my half-brother now, but it was still funny. The five Hyreno that we found are all doing well.”

“Good. Now, my betrothed, feed me.”

He grinned and lifted her, spinning her around. She was really happy about the high ceilings.
