Fuck someone else.
And condemn her to die.
Break Lori’s heart now so you don’t have to do it later. If not for your sake, then for hers.
The small voice goes mute as she bends down to kiss me again, her nails digging into my upper back to claw me closer. Nudging me over the edge.
I find her soft heat under the water and drag a finger across her folds. She’s slick and ready, and my cock throbs.
“You’re in the mood, I think.” I start a slow rub, teasing her.
She tucks her lip between her teeth. “Mm… You’re too good at that.”
“Want me to stop?”
“Nope.” She traces my skull tattoo before snaking a hand down to my erection.
My abs clench, the tension in my groin almost painful. “Not yet. I want to hear you beg, first.”
You’re a selfish, unworthy bastard,the little voice coos.
Lori’s thighs are perfectly spread out in this position, and I draw slow, sluggish circles between her legs until she pants. I drink in the sight of her round, exquisite breasts. Small beauty marks darken her left aureole and run all the way down to her navel. The marks are all hers, and I can’t stop looking at them, wishing I could map them out on parchment.
She has more muscles than Iris did, her body shape completely different, despite the similarities. The differences only feed my need to claim her, and I swipe my thumb across her clit. “Promise me you will never risk your life for me again.”
“Oh!” Her sharp nails sink into my shoulder again as she holds on to me. “You like to steal promises from me when I’m distracted. You’re…evil.”
“Promise me.”
“No.”
“Promise me, or I’ll spread you down by the edge of this pool and lick every inch of you without ever making you come. I’ll take my pleasure between your gorgeous breasts first—” I twist her nipples between my index finger and thumb in turn, coaxing a mewl out of her.
“And then in your mouth.” I slide a finger into her mouth, and she hums, closing her lips around it and sucking every drop of her arousal mixed with the mineral water. “I will take everything there is to take and give nothing back. I warn you.”
She smiles like my threats are fucking music to her ears. “Bite me.”
I suck a bruise on her shoulder and push my teeth into her skin, and she quakes in my arms.
“Promise me.”
“Fine I promise?—”
So easy…I sink one finger into her, then another, curling them to reach the apex of her need, and her hips buck as she writhes against me.
“—that I will only risk my life for you when you’re actually in danger.”
Cheater.
Before I can move, the evidence of her climax coats my fingers from all sides, her walls clinging to them with wild, powerful squeezes as she rides out the high.
So fucking wet and ready. I will punish her for this treachery and make her scream so loud, the walls of the Ice City will crack.
I rein in my impatience and give her some time to catch her breath. Shivering, she runs a hand down my shoulder blade and traces one of the two deep scars that runs to the middle of myback. Luckily, the wretched mark above my left buttock is still hidden by the water, butfuck.
Lori’s face wrinkles into a worried frown. “Your scars. Let me see them.” Without waiting for an answer, she peers over my shoulder, and the movement causes her breasts to dangle an inch from my face, so I suck one nipple inside my mouth.
She chokes at the caress. “Wait.”
