"No, it doesn’t," Aselia murmured and he placed his lips on her wound and held her close, wrapping his arms around her waist.

She stroked his head and held him there, pressing his head to her ribs. Minutes passed and he didn’t want to let her go.

"Xiran," she whispered. Her hands in his hair and he tilted his head to peek at her. She took his face in her hands. "Let’s go for that swim, hold me in the water," and he nodded.

Aselia began to unbutton his shirt and slowly took it off his taut body, her cold hands swept against his warm skin and he closed his eyes to relish in the feel.

"Stand up," she requested and he immediately obeyed. With trembling hands, she unbuttoned his pants and gradually took them off, leaving him in his white boxer shorts.

Her fingers purposely brushed against his thighs and calves, feeling their sturdiness. Right down to his slim feet where veins protruded out and she traced them with her fingers. Everything about him was too perfect, how could someone be so perfect?

"Leia, stop." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She glanced up at him with confusion and he was staring down at her with a perplexed expression. He had never forbidden her from touching him, then why?

"Why?" She asked not liking it.

"I don’t want you to touch my feet, that’s not a place for you. Touch me wherever else you want," Aselia didn’t appreciate the answer he gave.

"So you can kiss my feet and eat my toes but I can’t even touch yours, how is that fair?" She asked a bit annoyed, her eyes scrutinizing him and he smiled.

"Well, I am not fair when it comes to loving you. I love you on my terms," with these words he grabbed her up before she could complain or touch his feet again.

She scowled and he scooped her in his arms and whispered: "We are going in," and jumped into the warm water, splashing it all around as they hit its surface and went under.

Aselia had taken a deep breath, Xiran held her by the waist under the water’s surface as their hair danced all around them, their gazes locked on each other with fervent hunger to feel close.

Then he leaned forward and kissed her, giving her his oxygen, sharing it as one. His hands went to her hips and he squeezed them, feeling how soft they were, she jerked at his sudden action but he held her close.

Their lips didn’t part for a long time and Aselia held onto his head, deepening the kiss. Their legs rhythmically moved to keep them stable. Until both of them ran out of oxygen. Xiran pulled her up and together they broke the water’s surface, their lips parted and Aselia was left panting, she took in a deep breath and chuckled.

"I loved it," her eyes twinkled as the water droplets trickled down her face and neck. Leaning forward with mischief written all over his face Xiran licked the water from her cheeks and neck.

"Stop," she tried to push him away but he was like a boulder and she was stuck with him and his lewd tongue which licked every part of her face and neck.

"Xiran, let go. Stop licking me," she playfully smacked his head but he paid no heed, lifting her further up he tugged at her bikini and freed her right breast. Opening his mouth he took all of her perky top into his mouth and chewed on it like a candy, his favourite candy.

Sensation after sensation filled Aselia to the brim, he was driving her to the edge, and she would soon rupture with his touches. Xiran shifted to the valley between her mounds and licked her there, his eyes not leaving hers.

She watched him with a dazed expression, hanging on to any self-control she might still have left. Her fingers brushed the bulging muscles of his back, so smooth like white marble.

The thumping of their hearts merged as desires enveloped them to own each other. Aselia lifted his head and their lips found each other again. So tender and yet so hungry for each other as if starved forever. They fed on the ecstasy the mating of their lips brought.

Craving to feel more birthed inside Aselia and she knew her resolve was dissolving fast. With every second she inched closer to touch him down there. But she knew she shouldn’t for the results will be catastrophic. She moaned in his mouth and separated her lips from him, panting, her heartbeat so erratic.

Xiran understood what she was going through, he pulled her close and tried to calm her down, stroking her back. "It’s ok, just breathe and close your eyes."

She did as he said and relaxed. "You overwhelm me," she whispered on his wet shoulder and he smiled.

"I know and I love it," he teased her and she pushed him away with her hands and swam away before he could capture her.

"Catch me," she winked doing backstroke so fast, and he followed her with a smirk.

"I won’t let you go once I do," his laughter resonated from behind her and she picked up the pace.

"You can’t catch me, you are too slow without your vampire speed," she stuck out her tongue at him and swam fast to the other edge of the pool. Xiran followed and before he could entrap her in his robust arms, she ducked and escaped.

Xiran noticed she was an excellent swimmer. Now she was doing a freestyle and was even faster, her feet waddled and her arms moved at a rapid pace.

Xiran knew he wouldn’t be able to catch her at his normal speed so he decided to cheat. Placing his hands at the edge of the pool he pulled himself up and flicked to release his majestic wings. Aselia was facing the other side so she didn’t see what he had done.

He rose in the air and moved at lightning speed toward her. Aselia’s mouth flew open when she saw him hovering on top of her. The ethereal being with silver hair scooped her out of the water and into his embrace. The water dripped back as he clung her to his chest.

"So, where were we? And you were saying," he shifted wet locks of her hair away from her face, they were clinging to her skin.
