Dave

There was something in River’s eyes as they looked at him.

Something he wasn’t sure if he was imagining or not.

He hardly dared to breathe or blink for fear of it disappearing.

One moment, they’d been playing a game of hide and seek, enjoying the fresh air, sunshine, and being outdoors.

After River popped out from behind a tree, giving away her choice of a hiding place, the game changed into a simple chase.

Then, he’d caught them around the waist and time seemed to stand still as they turned to face him, still wrapped in his arms.

There was enough heat in their gaze to light a bonfire.

Their breathing was heavy and they kept looking between his eyes and his lips.

He raised one arm and gripped the back of River’s neck, feeling their rapid pulse beat beneath his fingers.

They erased the small amount of space between them and when Dave felt their body flush against his, he couldn’t have stopped what happened next if his life depended on it.

Dave lowered his lips to River’s, running his tongue along the seam of their lips and groaning at the unique and enticing flavor of them.

Immediately River’s arms went around Dave’s neck, their fingers spearing into the hair at the nape of his neck.

Their mouth opened for him and Dave stroked their tongue with his.

River gave as good as they got, stroking and tangling the tongues together, sucking his into their mouth in a move Dave desperately wished they’d repeat on his dick.

Dave nipped at River’s lips and growled when they whimpered and rubbed their lower belly to his erection.

He hadn’t realized he’d moved them until River’s back hit the trunk of a tree, but it was the perfect opportunity to grip River’s lush ass and lift them to a better position.

River wrapped their legs around his hips and moaned into his mouth as he ground his rock-hard cock against their core and he swallowed the sound, savoring it and going back for more.

Pinning them to the tree with his body, Dave let his hands roam from River’s ass up their sides until he reached their upper chest and found their pebbled nipples.

He stroked and tweaked the buds until River’s back arched and their legs tightened to grind harder on Dave’s erection.

He knew there was a reason he should pull back some but damned if he could think of what that reason was when River uttered the first words since they’d woken up.

They ripped their lips away to moan out, “Yes! God, yes, Daddy!”

One of their hands traveled down his chest and over his jeans to grip his throbbing length through the denim and Dave let out a low groan that was almost a growl. Even with the material between them, River’s touch felt so fucking good he had to fight back his need to come in his pants.

“Jesus, that feels so fucking good, baby.” He closed his eyes and raised his head trying to get himself under control.

When he opened his eyes again, he remembered why he needed to cool this down.

They were outside, in the open, where anyone could walk by.

With another groan, this one more than a little agonized, Dave gripped River’s hips, holding them still. “We need to stop.”

River was laying kisses along his jaw and throat and it was the best kind of torture. “Don’t wanna,” they said and continued their trail down his throat.

“Baby, we’re outside, in public.” As much as it pained him to say it, they really couldn’t continue out here.

River’s own groan of disappointment reverberated in his throat before they finally pulled their head back and looked into his eyes. They took a deep breath and closed their eyes. Then, they looked back at him and said, “I’m not so sure I care.”

“When I finally get to sink deep inside you, baby, it’s not going to be in a rush, against a tree.

I’m going to take my time with you, bring you so much pleasure you won’t remember your own name.

When I finally have your heavenly body, it won’t be until I’ve scrambled your brain and brought you enough pleasure that it’s seeped into your soul, leaked out of your body, and everything you are wants only one thing. To be mine .”

With that, Dave gently unwrapped River’s legs and stepped back, keeping hold of them until he was certain they could stand on their own.

After a few moments of concentrated breathing, River straightened up and looked around for a moment.

Their fingers tapped their chin in contemplation as they studied their surroundings.

“Well, there’s no time like the present right?”

Dave felt his heart rate pick up as River’s eyes took on a mischievous gleam.

“But first, you have to catch me.” Then, River took off in a sprint toward the main building, gaining quite a bit of a lead before Dave had even fully processed what was happening.

Oh, it’s like that is it? Well, run Little rabbit, there’s a wolf on your tail.

Dave took after them, thrilling in the chase.

River

There was something about the chase that set them on fire.

They’d never realized how erotic having someone in pursuit of them could be.

It was a rush unlike anything that they’d ever experienced, so when Daddy had caught them, it had only seemed natural to be pressed against a tree and devoured.

It was Daddy’s words though, that had River drowning in arousal and practically panting with need.

They hadn’t intended to throw down the challenge they had, but they didn’t regret it for a single moment.

Their heart was racing, their core pulsing, and they’d never felt more alive.

River darted around a tree, took a sharp left, and dodged a patron out for a stroll, before finally reaching the doors of the main building.

They rushed inside and brought their speed down to a brisk walk, not daring to look behind them and see how far ahead they were. River used each item inside big enough to hide them as camouflage as they made their way to the room. Maybe Daddy would pass by and not even notice them.

As they neared their room, they thought they were home free. Maybe Daddy hadn’t even given chase. They slowed to a walk, their heart rate slowing along with them. They unlocked the door to their room and slipped inside, closing the door and leaning against it. They’d made it.

Right as they thought it, they heard a slight noise behind them.

Before they could even turn to investigate, arms had grabbed them by the waist, lifting them easily and tossing them on the bed.

They sucked in air, ready to scream, when their eyes landed on Daddy, prowling toward them looking at them like he was starved and they were a dinner buffet.
