Page 62 of The Interdimensional Lord's Earthly Delight
“Speaking of more loving…” He took her hand and tugged her out into the cavern where the floor turned glassy.
She gasped again when her toestouched water, and a ripple spread outward from her feet farther than she could see. She waded in another step, and deliciously warm water lapped at her ankles. “An underground geothermal pool?”
“You don’t think a conquering warlord would settle for just a cold bath, do you?”
She laughed and whipped off the robe she’d gotten from the Azthronos cruiser to replace the antique wrap that had beensoaked in Tynan’s blood. This was her chance to wash away all those bad memories.
He watched her, sparks in his blue eyes that had nothing to do with the luminous rocks. Her gaze dipped downward. Well,something was hard as rock…
With painstaking slowness, as if they had all the time in the world, he unsealed his pants. The turgid weight of his erection pointed her way the whole time while hestripped. It was her turn to watch, appreciative, until he finally stood bare, exposing the powerful shoulders she’d held on to, the lean flanks where she’d wrapped her legs, that wide chest whole and untouched.
Oh, but she would touch it. Soon.
When he reached out, she glided back a few steps. “Come get me,” she purred, “one more time.”
Then she ruined her sultry vixen routine when sheeeped in alarm as a gleaming shape wriggled between her ankles. She jumped, splashing water in all directions that sent more ripples marring the perfect black glass. “Tynan! Tell me there’s nothing bigger in here than those glow-in-the-dark fishies.”
He waded out to her, laughing. “Nothing but me.”
He caught her around the waist and swung her deeper. The luscious hot water rose around them, caressingher skin in silky waves. But it was his calloused touch, gentle and rough at the same time, that made her shiver.
“You can’t be cold,” he said.
“With you, never. But hold me closer, just in case.”
With a rasping oath, he hauled her into his arms and bent her back to slant his mouth over hers.
She moaned and thrust her hips toward his, threading her fingers up into the black strands of hishair. Her own hair would be a worse wreck than the castle when this was over…and then she forgot everything except his devouring kiss.
His tongue traced her lips and delved inside even as his cock nudged between her thighs. Despite the heat—of the water and between them—her nipples beaded hard, aching, and she teased herself against the smooth skin of his chest. He groaned and grabbed her thigh,lifting her knee to grant himself access. She was willingly conquered, and when he slid into her slick core, she cried out his name.
With each stroke, the ripples across the pool returned to them higher and more chaotic. And she loved it, loved the way he made her body sing and her heart soar. At the outer limits of sensation, all her muscles convulsed and she jackknifed against him as she came.With the orgasm rolling through her endlessly, the constellations of light above them seemed to brighten, though surely that was her imagination.
She’d have to go again to be sure…
Then he was shuddering into her, great gulps of air expanding his chest against her, his pulse—from his beautiful heart—pounding almost as hard as his cock.
She cried out again, wordlessly this time, overcome, andthey sank slowly into the water.
Fortunately, the mineral content was high enough and the gravity low enough to keep them afloat with minimal effort, because she didn’t think she could move except for the gentle rocking of the waves that lapped at them.
“The universe,” he said serenely, rolling her to lie with her back across his chest, their legs tangling together, “has more love in it now.”
Her heart floated like a bubble on the dark, starlit sea. “So, crazy idea…”
“Crazier than flushing all our troubles away?”
“Maybe.” She reached one hand back to locked behind his head. “Once we get the castle squared away, what do you think about relaunching the Intergalactic Dating Agency on Earth? No alien abductions,” she hastened to add. “Just…a chance for love to go as far as it must tofind its place.”
He thought for awhile, his arms crossed over her breasts and his hands resting lightly on her belly so she was all but cocooned by him. She basked in the feeling of haven even though, really, he’d brought her out of the lonely shell she’d used to protect herself. “When I was wandering the space station after meeting you, I heard a bit about the IDA and the Black Hole Brides.”He hugged her tighter. “I told the goddesses that you and I being together was something we’d fought for, but… Yes, I think I would enjoy giving others the same chance.”
Shifting languidly, she twisted around to surf his chest, reaching up to entangle her arms around his neck so he might never get away. “While they honeymoon on the station, they can daytrip here to leave an offering to the Godof Beloveds.”
A wicked smile curved his lips, and he half closed his eyes. In the shadow of his lashes, the blue deepened to the hue of bright sky verging on outer space. “What gift you would leave for him?”
“My heart,” she whispered. “I’d give you my heart.”
