Water World Confidential

by Lisa Lace

  "Everything was different there. I didn't want to pretend anymore. I was tired of playing a role with everyone," he said, and I could see the weariness in his eyes.

  "I knew it. I knew that was the real you." I reached out and gently touched his forehead. It seemed like he had taken quite a few punches. His face had bruises.

  "It was then, and it is now," he said, taking both my hands in his. "And it will be forever. I'll never pretend again."

  I held my breath. What was he saying?

  "I love you, Sam," he said, gazing deep into my eyes. "Will you stay married to me after our year is up? I want to be with you forever."

  I tried to blink back my tears, but I couldn't. They spilled over.

  "Sammy?" he said, wiping them away.

  "I love you, too, Jori. I swear you can trust me."

  "I know I can, Sam. I always did."

  He pulled me to him and pressed his lips to mine. Then he broke off the kiss.

  "But what happened to Harrington?" he said sharply. I couldn't believe he'd waited this long to ask.

  "They caught him." I was glad to be the one to tell him. "The evidence from your tracker was enough to start an inquest. They've charged him with several crimes and he's in prison until his trial. I don't think he's ever going to get paroled." He reached up to touch the bandage behind his ear where his tracker used to be.

  "And the kids?"

  I smiled.

  "Well, you heard from Maria. We reunited almost everyone with their parents. There was one whose mother passed away while he was in captivity. He's being put up for adoption. A bunch of Harrington's goons revealed everything they knew when they heard he was going to jail. We found several other groups of kids he was trying to get off-planet. They're all safe as well. You did it."

  "I guess I'll have to contact my superior to find out if they've released me from duty." I put my finger to his lips to silence him. I reached over to grab an envelope that had come for him that morning. I handed it to him silently.

  He looked at me. "What is it?"

  I shrugged. "Why don't you find out? We've all been waiting for you to wake up and open it," I told him.

  He tore open the letter like a child unwrapping a present at Christmastime. Then he read through it a few times until, finally, he looked up at me.

  "I'm free," he said gleefully. "I can be myself again. I'm no longer a secret agent. No more secrets. This letter thanks me for my service and wishes me well in my future endeavors."

  "Jori," I said, hugging him. "I'm happy for you."

  "You should be happy for us," he said.

  I twisted around until I sat in his lap with his arms around me. Suddenly we were kissing like there was no tomorrow. At a certain point, I realized he was more healed than I had thought.

  "Jori," I gasped, breaking the kiss. "Aren't you still convalescing?"

  He pushed his hips up, and I felt his hardness again. "I don't think so. Why don't we find out?"

  "But…"

  "I almost died, Sam. I thought I would never get to be close to you again."

  "I'm not trying to stop you. I want you badly, Jori. But I don't wish to take advantage of a sick man. You have broken ribs."

  "I'm not sick. And I'll be careful of my bones," he said. "You'll see."

  He pushed me onto my back and followed me down. Our clothes were off in record time, and we kissed again, our hands exploring each other's bodies.

  Soon I needed more. His hands were right there, his mouth on my breasts where I needed it most. He was bringing me close.

  "Not like that. I want you inside me when I come," I said, pushing his hands away.

  "Your wish is my command," he muttered, spreading my legs with his knee. When I felt him at my entrance nudging himself inside, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the sensations. He pressed in an inch and waited for me to accommodate his thickness.

  "You're so tight," he whispered.

  I moaned as he pushed in further, spreading me.

  "I love it when you make those noises."

  He thrust a little more, and I stretched, taking all of him until he was sheathed inside me, completely filling me.

  "That feels so good," I said, and I kissed him while he remained stationary. Our bodies were tightly joined.

  Then he moved slowly and carefully, testing out how much his ribs could handle. I groaned at the feeling of him pulling out and plunging back in. How could it still be so good? Would it be this good fifty years from now? I didn't know. But each time with Jori seemed as good as or better than the previous one. I had never been made love to the way Jori made love to me.

  He found a rhythm and drove into me, taking me higher and higher. My breath was coming faster, and I felt the heat and pleasure building inside me.

  "Yes," I breathed. "Yes."

  His hand came up and twisted my nipple. That was enough to push me over the edge. I climaxed, my body wracked with spasms and filled with ecstasy.

  He pounded into me a few more times before he lost it, stiffening with a groan.

  "I love you," I whispered in his ear as he lay on me, his heavy weight pressing me into the bed. "I love you."

  Finally, he lifted his head and pulled out of me. I gasped at the sensations, my inner muscles contracting again at the stimulation.

  "Fuck me," I swore, closing my eyes and riding out the aftershocks.

  "I thought I just did," he said, lying on his back on the bed.

  I grinned at him.

  "It's called making love, husband. Get it right."

  He pushed me onto my side and rolled over too. He cuddled up close, spooning with me, our bodies connected along their entire length. "Maybe we should have another go to see if I can get it right this time."

  His arm came around me and pulled me tightly against him.

  "Maybe we should," I said. "After you rest."

  "Okay," he said, sounding sleepy. "As long as you're with me, Sammy."

  "I'm here," I said, my heart clenching at the endearment.

  "And you're going to stay here?" he asked.

  "Always."

  Ziri Mokuru has lived her entire life in the rural village of Arden Hollow on the planet Tersi. While her parents are off having adventures and being Very Important People, she's struggled simply to find a place where she belongs. One night, she investigates a disturbance in her home and discovers an armor-clad man sorting through her belongings.

After all, no one among the trusting Tersii breaks into someone else's home without a good reason.

  Ryn abid Alna has an excellent reason for sneaking into Ziri's home. After years spent scraping together enough vud for the bride price, he's finally ready to steal a wife.
