rose and fell evenly, his eyelids fluttered. She scanned the length of him. The brawny shoulders and arms, perfect for swimming. A hard, chiseled chest and stomach, honed from years of activity and vigorous work. His legs were long and powerful, covered in fine hair.
One glance at the red cloth ignited a fire in her belly. The shape there was long, firm, erect. Ariana swallowed, her mouth suddenly parched. She remembered the feel of him against her thighs. And then…the feral gleam in his eyes as he brought himself relief.
Her nipples tightened, ached for his wet mouth.
Ariana licked her lips. An Aerotaun always returned a favor, thus she would attempt to bring him the same ecstasy he caused within her.
Gently, she stroked the rigid outline of the cloth, watching his face to see if he awoke. Andreus sighed and turned his head, but did not open his eyes. She slid her fingers up and down the length, as he had done last night. His hips moved, but he still slept.
Slowly, she pushed the material down and out of her way. His arousal sprang out, large and powerful, like the rest of him. Her breath stilled. By the stars, he was magnificent. Even though she had not seen Hanken’s erection before he entered her, she knew he did not possess the same dimensions.
Ariana shifted so that her head was facing Andreus’s face. She wanted to watch as she tasted him, wanted to see the look of hunger on his face when he awoke.
The morning sun filtered through the leaves of the hut, casting shadows along the curve of his jaw. The smell of saltwater and musk mingled in her nose, making her mouth water.
She lowered her lips to his flesh, pressing them against the unbending firmness. It reminded her of a tree trunk, unyielding and mighty. The vein beneath her mouth pulsed.
Ariana swept her hair out of her way, watching his chest rise and fall. She slipped the tip of her tongue out to taste him. His flavor was raw and wild, like the sea he tried to tame.
Her pulse quickened, womb throbbed, as she lapped the smooth flesh. Andreus tossed his head to the side, his breathing rising to crash with the waves.
Swirling her tongue, she reached the tip where salty tasting fluid glistened at the small opening. Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth and swallowed the length of him. Up and down, she stroked the sides of her mouth along his shaft.
Heat flooded her core, tingled her fingertips. Still, she did not stop. Ariana suckled him they way he had done to her last night.
His hips jerked, erection pulsated. A groan echoed within the hut. “Ariana…”
Andreus was awake.
She didn’t look at him but kept going, wanting, needing to bring him to a shattering release.
The salty taste trickled along her tongue again. He was close.
Panting, Andreus gripped her shoulder, squeezed her skin.
She felt it build, the strain and tension crackled along his skin. Her nipples spasmed with denied release. The apex of her legs dampened, as if his mouth had been pleasuring it again.
Ariana sucked him hard, pulling her tongue along the underside of his flesh, tickling the tip. She wrapped her fingers tightly around the base.
“Have mercy!”
Then, with a primitive growl, he yanked her head up to his chest as fluid squirted onto his stomach.
His breath was harsh and quick beneath her ear. A mist blew in from the ocean, cooling the scorching temperature of her skin.
“I have been blessed a second day.”
Ariana grinned. “I was only repaying my debt from last night.”
“Ah.” He chuckled. “Then we shall find ourselves in such debt every night.”
Her stomach clenched. Every night . Andreus still spoke as if she could stay with him. But how could she? He was a Marimar, a culture long since separated from her own. Too many years, centuries even, had passed since these two peoples had arrived on this planet together.
This moment she shared with Andreus was only that. A moment. She may not return to Hanken’s arms, but she would
