God, I was such a tease, but I was unsure of what I wanted. I would get there; first though, I needed to know him better.

I ducked under the water and scrubbed my scalp. When I burst back out, I crouched low enough for my shoulders to be submerged. I released a long sigh at the warm water. I stretched and groaned—the heat was starting to relax my swollen joints.

Mindy scooted closer and held out the bottle of shampoo. “I can wash your hair.”

How was he this nice? Like really? I wanted to say yes, but I took the bottle from him with a slight smile. “I can do it.”

Serlotminden bit his lip, playing with the gold ring.

Turning away from him, I scrubbed my short hair, then dunked underwater again. When I surfaced, sputtering, he presented the bar of soap, which I accepted, trying not to make eye contact.

Not that he had the same problem. Serlotminden watched me the entire time, tail wriggling beneath the water.

From the corner of my eye, I peeked at him, unable to keep my gaze off him for long. He was a magnet, and I was helpless against him. Serlotminden grunted, holding his side as he tried to angle his body correctly to get his hair wet. When that didn’t work, he started bringing water to the top of his head, which wasn’t doing much better.

Since we couldn’t actually swim, and I’d made it weird, though really because I wanted an excuse to touch him, I offered, “I can wash your hair.”

He grinned. “I’m not going to say no.”

It was awkward to get him low enough while keeping his injured side out of the water. We managed with him leaning on one elbow and on his knees. He lowered enough for me to get his hair nice and wet before lifting him out. Starting at the roots, I worked my fingers over his scalp in slow circles. He moaned beneath my touch, making my dick stiffen.

“Bartholomew,” he cried. “Yes, that’s so good. Flower, right there.”

I swallowed.

“Ungh,” Serlotminden groaned. “Don’t stop. Please, don’t stop.”

Seriously? I was a fucking virgin, but I knew sex noises when I heard them. Hehadto know what he was doing. It was no accident. When he practically screamed my name, I hardened completely, cock throbbing in the water. Mindy was shameless, and yet, I wasn’t annoyed, at least not completely, just horny.

I thoroughly washed his hair as I tried to ignore my needy cock and his lewd noises. When I was finished, I rinsed the shampoo off, then helped him sit back. The water dripped down his dark purple scales as he stared at me with his deep green eyes. I took a jagged breath.

“Thank you, Teddy.”

I nodded, strangled.

Serlotminden smiled. “You are amazing.”

I shrugged.

He grabbed my hips and lifted me onto his lap. His hard cock pressed into mine, and I gasped.

Serlotminden kissed the corner of my mouth. “Don’t fear. I won’t do anything.”

I grunted, shivering in the air. His wings spread out, glistening with drops of water, and surrounded me. Warmth seeped into me and banished the chill. “I’m not trying to tease you.”

“You’re not, Flower.” He kissed my cheek. “You’re not ready. Yes, I’m… hard.” He paused, and I nodded so he knew it was the right word. “I’m hard because I’m attracted to you and enjoy your touch. It’s not teasing. Besides—” He grinned. “I like to be teased.”

I flushed.

Serlotminden tightened his hold around me, and I pressed against him. We hadn’t gone swimming, and it had gotten awkward at times, but this was a great first date.

Chapter 26

You think that is cute?

I didn’t want to leave the river, because Bartholomew was sitting so prettily on my lap and I adored it, but I didn’t want him to grow cold. So we emerged from the warm water, and I carefully dried him off. He tensed, making me stall in my movements. Did he not like it? I enjoyed taking care of him, but that didn’t mean he liked me doing it.

“Can I take care of you?”
