I’m so absorbed with the arousal rising higher and higher with every idle stroke of his thumbs across my nipples, I nearly can’t find words to answer. He drops his mouth to my neck and nips gently, then murmurs close to my ear, “Tell me you’re ready.”

“I’m ready,” I breathe.

As if that was all he was waiting for, he spins me, then lifts me in one smooth motion, striding to the edge of the pool and setting me on the cool stone. His blue eyes are dark and intense, the irises faintly sparking with lightning when he descends on my mouth, kissing hungrily. He presses his hands to my inner thighs, urging them apart and then releases my mouth to lean back and take me in.

I’m astonished by the look of utter wonder in his eyes during his brief pause, but his desire overtakes it a moment later. He hooks his hands behind my knees and pushes them up, and I have no choice but to lie back.

I let out a startled cry at the first hot lick of his tongue between my legs, then lose myself in the pleasure. His hair is damp when I twine my fingers into it, the silken tendrils curling around my fingers as his tongue curls over and over against my clit. He lets out a hum of enjoyment, sinking a little deeper and hooking his arms around my upper thighs so I’m forced to either drape my legs over his shoulders or raise my knees and place my feet on them.

As if sensing my uncertainty, he grasps each of my ankles and pushes them up and wide, showing me a third alternative: opening myself even more for his attention.

I hold my knees wide, abandoning all inhibition. He pauses long enough to take me in, licking his glistening lips as he draws his thumbs down between my folds, sliding one lower to coat my rear opening with my juices.

“Have any of them tasted you here yet?” he asks, eyes bright and wicked.

“Ty,” I say, shivering a little at the memory of all of Typhon’s tongues licking every last erogenous zone I possessed.

Alcides chuckles. “Of course. I have never witnessed him with a partner, but I’m not surprised he has skills with his tongues. I hope he got as much enjoyment out of it as you no doubt did.”

“I returned the favor, sort of.”

He cocks his head, still slowly teasing my ass with a slick fingertip when he looks at me. “Did you manifest a giant tongue somehow? If you can shift into a beast like him, that must have made him quite happy.”

“No,” I say on a laugh. “I improvised. It’s calledsounding. Or so Chrysaor informed me later. Because it’s something he likes too.”

“Explain thissoundingto me. I’m listening.”

He dips his head again, pressing his mouth to my pussy and covering my flesh entirely, his tongue sinking deep. I can’t help but let out a groan at how deliciously sensitive I am to his licks. When he teases the tip of his tongue across my puckered asshole, I gasp.

Pausing just enough to lift his eyes and look at me, he says, “Go on.”

“It… it’s where, uh… fuck,” I’m finding it more and more difficult to maintain a train of thought with the very tip of his tongue teasing in and out of my ass. He pushes a thick finger into my pussy at the same time, curling it and hooking to rub against my G-spot.

“Nemea,” he admonishes when he pauses again, just enough to let me breathe before he rubs a thumb over my clit and sends me spinning again. He drops a kiss to my hipbone, still finger-fucking me, then sinks his teeth in playfully, but the sensation sends another jolt of pleasure deep into my core.

“You have a hole in your dick,” I finally manage to blurt. “Typhon’s just happens to be big enough to fit my arm into. Evidently doing that… uh…” My focus wavers again when he applies more speed and pressure to my clit.

“He enjoyed having his cock hole fisted by you, didn’t he?”

“Y-yes. But channeling my magic is what made him come. I tried it with Chrysaor, but he has toys, jewelry, I guess? Small enough to fit him.”

“Hmm,” he says, and I glance at him. He’s still teasing me with one hand while finger-fucking me with the other. He holds my gaze as he plunges his pinky finger into my ass, and I arch my back in abrupt pleasure at the penetration. “Next time I see Chrysaor, I will ask him to show me.”

With that, he descends again, capturing my clit between his lips and sucking gently, then subjecting me to a rapid-fire barrage of licks while his fingers plunge faster in and out of me. I claw at the stone floor, crying out as he draws my climax out of me, continuing to lick until he’s wrung me dry several times over.

But he doesn’t give me even a second to come down. I’m still in a daze, gasping for breath when he hoists himself up out of the water, his lower body dripping wet, his cock a hard, glistening curve between his thighs. His torso shimmers with steam and sweat in the warm lantern light. I’m struck dumb again at his magnificent beauty.

He pushes my knees up and wide again, then lowers himself above me, pressing his tip to my soaked opening.

“Yes,” I gasp in the split-second when he meets my gaze, his silent question in the barest lift of his eyebrows. “Gods, yes, fuck me Alcides. Fuck me until I scream.”

His face is a mask of intense concentration that crumbles to ecstasy when he pushes deep in one smooth stroke.

“Fuck, you fit me so well,” he says, holding still as he hovers above me, his thick shaft throbbing inside me with a heavy pulse that matches my own heartbeat. “Wrap your legs around me.”

I do as I’m told, and he begins to move, sliding in and out so slowly I marvel at the control he has to be able to move that way while supporting himself above me. On one arm, no less, because he’s busy caressing me with his other hand, first holding my hip, then sliding his hand down my thigh and back up. He rests his palm on my chest, as if feeling my heartbeat, which is pounding hard with his gradually increasing tempo.

He touches my chin, then dips his head to capture my mouth in a searing kiss that leaves me even more breathless than his cock plunging in and out of me. When he pulls back to gaze into my eyes, he slides his fingertips across my lower lip and I realize they’re still slick, coated in my juices.
