Chapter 25 - Sins beneath the surface

Kai blinks, mouth agape as a goddess climbs over him. He freezes. All his charm and silver-tongued flirtatiousness overwhelmed by Vaela's breathtaking presence.

Then snaps to action.

With shaky breath and a swift, single, fluid motion, he rips off his shirt and tosses it behind him without a second though. His chest gleams in the moonlight. Defined, powerful and trembling with anticipation.

"Getting a little hot out here," he chuckles, clearly flustered as she rests her behind on his lap. "Don't… you… think—"

His mind slowly forgets its functions as Vaela closes the distance between them.

And then, a kiss.

He gasps as their lips meet. His muscles tense and his back arches slightly as a burst of pleasure streaks across his mind like a shooting star, ready to grant all his wettest wishes.

She pulls back, breathless, her hair draping over her face as she lifts head, But he slips his wet, trembling hand behind her neck, and urges her mouth back towards his.

"...more." he groans softly, his emerald eyes glowing with the flames of lust.

She blissfully complies.

They fall into each other, mouths starving for the taste of each other's lips, the feeling of each other's skin.

His touch hits her like a tidal wave, leaving her breathless as his kiss rips the air from her lungs. He wraps his arms around her, anchoring her hips to his as their lips move around each other, Vaela's mouth is filled with the taste of something fresh, wild and infinite, like a sensual sea-breeze.

They lay on the warm ledge, their tongues tangled, limbs intertwined and bodies blooming with heat and passion as they rolled around the rocks like crashing waves. Giggles, gasps and moans and then suddenly… a splash.

They slip over the edge and plunge into the spring's bubbling water. Surprised yelps give way to bashful chuckles and hungry lips finding each other mid-laugh. The warm water wraps them like soft silk as they kiss, explore and move with synchronized rhythm that builds from teaseful touching to powerful, passionate strokes as Kai grips her waist. 

Every inch of Vaela's body buzzes, her skin sings with ecstasy, and mind raptured in carnal bliss as he holds her like something holy and she responds to his deep, deliberate movements like a woman possessed.

They make love in the water like it's their last night alive, slow, magical and everything she needed it to be.

The water finally rests as they find a way to end their passion. Kai lingers under the surface, his hands wrapped around Vaela as his head rests against her stomach.

She breaches, head spinning, chest heaving and her lips on fire as she tilts her head towards the stars, digs her fingers into scalp and breathes.

"You beautiful bastard."

The next morning, steam curls from Vaela's bath as she lounges like royalty in sweet-smellings oils and creamy bubbles, grinning and glowing with glee, arms draped over the porcelain edge and her head laid back lazily as her feet flicks foam into the air. 

She giggles, then sighs and then groans as she lingers on waves of pleasure and wonderment, staring into nothingness as she sinks herself into sensual memories of Kai, smiling like an idiot.

"...and?" Lilith smirks from across the room as she lays belly-down on a velvet chaise with her chin on her palms and her tail flicking by her side. "Let me guess… there were sea turtles, waterfalls and he was shirtless at least half the time."

"Yes, yes and yes!" Vaela squeals. Then she squeals again.

"It was, literally, magic! Underwater castles, glowing fish the size of busses, and then…" she says, grinning as she bites her lip. "We did it at the top of a waterfall, Lilith, covered in moonlight, in the middle of a magical spring!"

"Ooooh! A magical spring?" Lilith chirps as her eyebrow shoots up. "Sounds like your prince was pulling out all the stops. Tell me everything!"

"Wait… why weren't you there?"

Lilith shrugs. "What do you mean… seemed like you could use some space. From me at least… Kai gets a pass I guess."

"Lilith… I'm sorry. You know I didn't—"

"No, I don't know." Lilith interrupts with a giggle. "Cause you won't spill the tea! Tell me what happened!"

"It was soooo perfect. Lil!" Vaela moans, sinking lower into the water, eyes rolling back as she swoons. "He was like a real-life, fairytale prince! Just… perfect. His voice, and his eyes… oooh, the chest. And you know he knows it too!"

"Sounds like he had you wrapped around his little… or maybe not so little?" 

Valea chuckles. "You should've seen his eyes when I took my top off. I thought I broke him."

"Like I told you…" Lilith says, pointing the end of her tail at Vaela. "You have a thing for broken men. You touch them a little, give them a little affection, and poof…" she says, vanishing in a cloud of smoke and appearing beside Valea. "They're like putty in your hands."

Vaela sighs dreamfully, stretching like a cat beneath the water. "He made me forget everything." I didn't think I wanted this, you know, or him. I thought I needed some space. Maybe I still do… I don't know. But… it felt sooooo good."

"You deserved it, kitten." Lilith smiles warmly like a proud parent.

Vaela's nods with a smirk. "Speaking of what I deserve… where's my gift?"

Lilith raises a brow.

"My gift!" Vaela insists, then tilts her head with a pout as she splashes Lilith with a flick of water. 

"Oh, of course… that." Lilith grins, a spark of mischief now in her eyes.

"So?"

The demoness chuckles, shaking her head. "You haven't seduced him yet, kitten."

Vaela stares, open-mouthed, as Lilith shrugs at her with a smug smirk.

"Maybe if I was there to help…"

"What do you mean?" Vaela protests. "He sang to me next to a waterfall, we kissed under moonlight, he treated me like I was a treasure. And the way we made—"

"Sounds like he really took you for a wild ride, sweetie." Lilith sighs. "But, he still hasn't fully given himself to you… there's something holding your little sea-prince back."

Valea slumps into the water, sinking into a stream of bubbles.

"You've lit a fire under him, but it's not enough, darling. Seduction isn't just about sex, sometimes it's about soul.

"You're joking right…" Vaela groans, poking her mouth out of the water. "... he was half-way up my soul last night!"

Lilith cackles, almost falling into the tub as Vaela groans, dunking herself under the water again with a long sigh.

"Better get comfortable, kitten, seems this pleasure cruise just got started.
