Page 24 of My Guardian Demon

We were the only people at the apartment's outdoor community pool. The weather was getting cold and the pool would close for the season soon. But right now, the water was heated, and we were crazy enough to brave the elements.

After I kicked my way to the top of the water and re-emerged, Onyx said, "The best way to get in is all at once. I did you a favor."

"Favor, my ass. Liar. Get in here." I could see my breath in the air in front of my face. Onyx had to be cold in only his blue swim trunks. I know I'd been cold in my bikini swimsuit.

I ducked down and submerged my chin in the warm water.

"All right, I'm coming in. Cannonball!" Onyx ran across the concrete pool deck and leaped in.

I quickly turned my back and faced away from the waves he made.

I spun back toward him after the splash. His face surfaced above the water.

"Jerk!"

"I'm awesome and you know it."

"In your dreams, maybe."

He laughed.

Onyx and I swam laps and played, water going everywhere.

After a while, Onyx dove under. When he emerged from the water, an evil grin spread across his face. He started swimming toward me. I had to admit, a demon face and horns swimming toward me was intimidating.

I narrowed my eyes at him. "I'm not running from you."

He smirked. "Please don't. You'll like what I'm about to do."

He swam up to me and encircled me with his arms. "Hi," he said.

"Hi," I returned.

His warmth surrounded me. He pressed slow kisses down my throat — soft, sweet kisses with a hint of teeth. The reminder that he was a predator turned me on like no other.

I leaned my head back and closed my eyes as I enjoyed his attention.

He guided me through the water to the pool wall and held me against it without stopping his kisses.

His hand cupped one of my breasts underwater. My nipple pebbled as he brushed his thumb across it.

He trailed his nose up my throat and cupped my other breast. His thumb brushed that nipple as he tugged my earlobe between his teeth.

I moaned and wrapped my arms around his neck. My head tipped back. All I could manage to say was "Onyx."

He pulled my legs around his hips and pushed me against the wall. This put my breasts right above the waterline. Onyx smiled at me and untied the strings of my bikini top from around my neck. He teased my nipples. He sucked at one, caressing and flicking gently with histongue. The other he pinched and tugged in time with his mouth.

"Oh, God. Onyx, that feels so good," I moaned.

He let go of my nipple and kissed me. A deep, sensual kiss that drove me wild. When he broke it, he murmured, "The only name coming from your lips in the future should be mine. Let's leave God out of it, yeah?"

I laughed and nodded, then his mouth was on the other nipple and he was driving me crazy again on the opposite side. I threaded my fingers through his hair and leaned my head back to enjoy the pleasure.

Onyx slid his hand between us, and his fingers found my clit. He rubbed a circle on it from outside my bikini. I gasped.

He continued to suck my nipple, and his tail came up to caress and squeeze the other one. He trailed the skin-covered appendage over my nubs and flicked them. I nearly lost my mind with all the pleasure.

Two of his fingers dipped around the fabric and slid inside me.
