“We haven’t done this in the pool yet,” she murmured as he licked the water off her neck.
“That’s because your favorite place for sex is in the ocean.” He lifted her just enough to settle her on his cock, and she moaned as he slowly lowered her, her sensitive tissues stretching to accommodate him.
“I don’t know,” she breathed, her body sparking to intense life in an instant. “Pool sex might be equally as great.”
He dipped his head and captured her breast. His tongue was magic as he lapped first at one nipple, and then the other.
“Equally? Nah. I know how to make pool sex your favorite water sport,” he murmured against her skin.
“I don’t think that’s possible—”
In the blink of an eye, he had Lilliana flat on her back on the deck, her legs dangling over his shoulders as he stood between them in the pool. His wicked grin announced his intentions as he leaned forward and bit into the soft flesh of her inner thigh.
“Yes,” she whispered, repeating it again, louder, when he filled her entrance with his finger.
He pumped in and out, intermittently using the tip of his finger to circle the slick outer flesh before thrusting deep inside again. His lips sucked gently at her vein, sending electric currents of ecstasy to every nerve ending. Everything felt too sensitive to touch, and yet she wanted to rub her entire body against him.
He stopped way too soon, but she couldn’t complain when he licked his way inward and replaced his finger with his tongue.
“Azagoth,” she cried as the first stirrings of climax coiled in her womb.
Sensation overwhelmed her as he thrust his tongue deep and curled it up against the pillow of nerves there that made her scream.
But he didn’t let her come. She was right there. Right. Damned. There.
His hands tightened on her ass as he tilted her pelvis upward and dove in again, this time licking her from her core to her clit. Long, hard strokes with alternating quick flicks of the tip of his tongue. Oh, damn…oh, yes…he was so good at this…
She screamed again as her climax took her. He worked her through it, his tongue gentling as she came down. But before the last spasms stopped, he had Lilliana in the pool again, this time in the space behind the waterfall and slide, pounding into her as the water crashed down around them.
His hips rolled into her, her body sliding against the slick stone at her back. She watched him through slitted eyes as he took her, his head thrown back in glorious male ecstasy, his jaw clenched, the muscles in his neck flexing.
“See?” His guttural, sex-smoked voice flowed through her like an aphrodisiac. “This is better than fucking in the ocean.”
Okay, so pool sex beat ocean sex. But she wasn’t going to admit it.
“I need more convincing,” she said, panting to stave off the imminent orgasm.
“Mmm…wait until you see my plans for the diving board.”
Oh, yeah. Just thinking about it, yep, that did it, and the climax crashed down on her in a tidal wave of ecstasy. Azagoth went taut, jerking wildly as he came in a roar that made Mal sit up and growl.
And that woke the baby.
Raika really was well-named.
“I got her,” Azagoth said as he lowered Lilliana to her unsteady legs. “I haven’t seen her all night.”
He flashed to Raika, and Lilliana watched from behind the waterfall as he scooped their daughter into his powerful arms. His smile was brilliant, his gaze overflowing with love as he made adorable cooing noises.
“I’ll be right back,” he called to Lilliana. “I’m going to change her diaper.”
Lilliana sighed and fell back in the water to relax. She had it all. They had it all. There had been significant consequences to what Azagoth had done, and a lot of people had died along the way. They still mourned Journey, and all of Azagoth’s murdered children, and Reaver wasn’t sure Wraith could ever get his immunity charm back.
But Azagoth had also ensured that Satan’s prison wasn’t even accessible for decades, maybe centuries since there was no Inner Sanctum through which to access it.
And, best of all, Azagoth had finally allowed himself some happiness. The job change had already affected him now that he was away from the constant malevolent radiation that had contaminated Sheoul-gra. Now that he no longer had to deal with evil beings daily, their hatred and ugliness no longer weighed on him.
He was free. They both were.
What that meant remained to be seen, but with Azagoth at her side, Lilliana was ready to find out.
Consequences be damned.
