  “Of course I won’t…won’t leave you.” The words seemed to stick in his throat and Harper knew what he meant—he wouldn’t leave her if he could help it. But what if he faded right in front of her?

  I won’t let that happen, she told herself fiercely. I’ll keep him here with me—somehow I’ll do it.

  Shad lowered her into the steaming pool, which was filled up to the brim. Harper expected the water to spill over and onto the floor but somehow it didn’t. Maybe it was the Kindred version of an infinity pool, she thought.

  After making certain she was all right, submerged to her waist in the warm water, the big Kindred began stripping away the leather vest and trousers and boots he’d been wearing all this time.

  Harper’s mouth watered and her pussy ached with need when his long, thick shaft was revealed. He was only about half hard—clearly he was worried about her which probably kept him from getting fully erect at the moment—but he was still huge.

  Plenty big enough to fill me up and stop this ache, she thought. In fact, he’s more than big enough.

  For the first time, Harper wondered if she could fit all that inside herself. She hadn’t been with a guy in a long time and Shad was bigger than anyone she’d ever been with. But the emptiness inside her begged for him—telling her she had to have him—had to have all that hard, thick length inside her and she knew she wanted to try.

  But would Shad let her?

  His first order of business, when he lowered himself into the pool beside her, was to attend to her breasts.

  “Here, sweetheart…let me help you.” Taking a soft, light blue cloth from a stack by the edge of the pool, he dipped it in the water and used it to wash her and then to caress her swollen breasts.

  Harper hissed at first when the steaming liquid touched her sensitive nipples and jerked away.

  “Sorry, baby,” Shad murmured contritely. “Didn’t mean to hurt you. Do you want me to kiss it better?”

  Harper felt a surge between her thighs and squeezed them together tightly.

  “Yes…please,” she whispered. God, how she needed him! All of him. His mouth…his hands…and most of all his long, thick cock. But she would take what she could get for now.

  Making soft sounds of comfort, Shad cupped her full breasts in his hands and leaned down. Gently, he lapped at her tender buds, letting just the tip of his tongue circle them slowly until she gasped and pressed up to get more of his mouth on her.

  “Shad,” she moaned. “Shad, please…”

  “Going to suck you now, sweetheart,” he growled softly, looking into her eyes. “Going to suck your sweet breasts and ease the ache.”

  Harper bit her lip to keep from asking if he minded drinking the nectar that had filled her breasts. After all, she reminded herself, he hadn’t minded last time. And it would feel wonderful to get rid of the heavy ache that had settled in her over-full breasts.

  “Yes,” she whispered. “Yes, please.”

  “Over here.” There was a ledge for sitting on one end of the steaming pool. Shad settled on it and pulled Harper into his lap, facing him, so that she straddled his hips and her breasts were on level with his mouth. “Easier this way,” he murmured, stroking her back.

  She moaned softly as she felt his thickness brush against her inner thighs—there was no doubt he was completely aroused now. The broad head of his cock slipped between her swollen pussy lips, nudging her clit, making her gasp and want to beg for more.

  But it was clear Shad was only interested in sucking her breasts.

  “Carefully,” he growled softly, putting his hands on her ass to steady her in his lap and keep her from sinking down any further against his straining shaft. “Just let me ease you, Harper—just let me suck your sweet breasts.”

  “All right,” she whispered and leaned forward, giving him access to her chest.

  Shad groaned softly and took her right nipple between his lips.

  Harper couldn’t hold back a cry of pure lust as he drew hard on her tender nub, easing the ache in her breast even as he caused the one between her legs to grow.

  “Shad,” she whispered breathlessly as he sucked and swallowed her nectar. “Shad, please, I need…I need…”

  “What is it you need, sweetheart?” he growled softly, releasing her nipple to look up at her.

  Harper knew what she really needed—she needed his hard shaft pounding into her while he did this, while he sucked her. She needed to ride his cock while he sucked the nectar from her breasts. But somehow she couldn’t make herself ask for it. What if he said no? What if he refused her?

  “I need more…more contact with you,” she said at last, wiggling against him. She lowered herself until she felt the broad head of his cock pressing against her outer pussy lips again.

  “Harper,” he said warningly and started to pull away but she stopped him with a hand on his broad shoulder.

  “Please, Shad,” she murmured. “Even if you don’t…don’t want to put it inside me, can’t I please just rub against it? I feel so…so empty inside.”

  His gaze softened and he reached up to stroke a strand of her long, curly hair away from her face.

  “I know you do, sweetheart and I know you need my seed inside you to help with the effects of the Blood Honey. But I don’t like the idea of leaving you alone with an empty bond if I…if I get called away.”

  “Don’t talk about that,” Harper pleaded. “Not now. Not unless we have to. For now can’t I just rub against you? Maybe if I just lowered myself down like this…” She demonstrated, pressing her pussy lips against the head of his shaft until he slipped inside and pressed against her clit. “Ahhh! That feels so good.”

  “Yes, it fucking does,” Shad growled. “Gods, sweetheart…”

  “We don’t have to do anything,” Harper told him breathlessly. “We could just…just rub against each other while you help me with my breasts.”

  Shad looked indecisive for a minute, then he sighed.

  “I can’t say no to you. But we need to move out of the bathing pool to do this right.”

  Harper didn’t mind. She allowed him to help her out and towel her dry with a large, white sheet-like towel.

  “Gods, baby, you’re so beautiful,” Shad murmured, kneeling at her feet to dry her legs and ass and patting gently at the mound of her pussy. “So fucking gorgeous it takes my breath away.”

  “Oh, Shad…” She didn’t want to cry again but his sweet words seemed to pierce her heart. Why did she feel like they were doing this for the last time? Why did she feel like someone or something was granting them one last reprieve before taking Shad away from her?

  Don’t think like that, she ordered herself. Find a way to anchor him here, find a way to keep him with you!

  When she was dry, Shad lifted her easily into his arms and carried her back to the couch. There was a fireplace with a crackling fire of blue and gold and green flames in front of it and Harper luxuriated in the feel of the warmth against her bare skin.

  “Now…” Shad settled on the couch and had her face him, once more straddling his hips. “Where were we?”

  “You were helping me with my breasts,” Harper murmured, thrusting them forward so he could reach the sensitive nipples with his mouth again. “And you said it was all right to do this.”

  With a little moan of pure desire, she sank down on him again so that the wide head of his cock slipped between her spread pussy lips. This time, with no water to make her buoyant, she was able to get much better contact. They both groaned when his thickness pushed into her wet folds and rubbed against her aching clit.

  “God, Shad,” she gasped breathlessly, working her hips to feel the slick friction between them. “Suck my breasts again…I think I could come this way.”

  “Love to feel you coming all over my cock, baby,” he growled and took her left nipple between his lips.

  Harper moaned and ground against him, loving the feeling of him drawing the nectar from her breast as she pressed her sw
