Rage was all he had ever really known, a profound rage born at his birth and built with the fuel of every evil deed Daniel had committed against him and against his brothers.
Yes, he let that go, all of it, let it drain out of his body like the poison it was. He saw it sinking deeper and deeper into the granite altar he was chained to, deeper and deeper. He let love wash through him, a cleansing force that built a new strength in his body, fired his muscles as it cleansed his mind and soul.
The part of him that was now an Ancestral vampire responded, adding a new layer of power and intention. Light shone in his mind, another purifying force that wiped the slate clean, that took all his hatred, all his anger, and transformed it into … purpose.
That was what he felt, an intense, searing purpose.
And his purpose in this moment was simple: to save the one he loved and the one she loved.
Power flowed into his muscles, new power, Ancestral power. But there was something more, and this was Lily’s gift to him as the added power of her double-chain ripped through him. The base of the granite table began to vibrate—then the whole structure started to rise into the air.
“What the hell is this?” Daniel cried out. “You there! Guards! Secure that table.”
Guards surrounded Adrien, hands on the table, forcing it back to the stone floor.
“Let the executions commence,” Daniel shouted. “And begin with Adrien, the one who betrayed me repeatedly, his own flesh and blood.”
Adrien smiled because now he understood that his father feared him, feared what he could do to him, what he was becoming. He would never have ordered Adrien’s death first, not when he could have inflicted more suffering by killing Lily or even Josh first.
Father, he telepathed, pushing into Daniel’s head. Shall we find out what you’ve really created in me?
Did he hear shrieking in Daniel’s mind?
“Use the blade and take his head! Now!”
Adrien opened his eyes and embraced all that his life was, including all that Daniel had given him as his father.
Adrien saw the sharp edges of the blade rise high above his head, the executioner’s hand steady, the man ready to obey Daniel.
But as the blade fell, Adrien lifted his fingers, focused his power, then released. A stream of energy flowed down his shoulder, through his arm, and outward in a powerful thrust from his hand. The blade flew from the executioner’s grasp, sweeping in a high arc that took it out of the Pit and beyond the surrounding seats.
Cries from the spectators flooded the arena.
He focused the same power within his body: his chest, arms, and legs. He flexed his muscles and one by one the wrought-iron links snapped and the manacles on his wrists and legs fell away. He heard the whirring of a long battle chain ready to strike. A guard came at him swiftly, the chain spinning. He reached in and plucked the chain away from the guard. At almost the same second, he flipped the chain toward two other guards. The chain wrapped around both necks and bound them.
The remaining guards backed up.
Adrien moved in Daniel’s direction, but he called out, “Kill the woman and child! On pain of death, do as I say!” He threw Josh in the direction of the guards. His words carried enthrallment power, and once more the guards, now glassy-eyed, moved to obey.
Adrien had a decision to make. He could go after Daniel right now and slay him, removing the scourge of his life from his world for all time. But if he did both Lily and Josh would die.
Or he could save Lily and her son.
But he couldn’t do both.
There was no real choice to make. In the same way Lily had refused to turn the weapon over to Daniel, Adrien refused to follow Daniel and take his vengeance.
As Daniel switched to altered flight and vanished, Quill and Lev following in his wake, the blades descended on Lily and Josh.
Adrien split into his two selves and with the greater power and speed of his Ancestral status, he destroyed the guards in quick succession, flinging the killing blades away, breaking bones, snapping necks until he was alone in the Pit with the woman he loved and her son. He re-formed quickly.
The assembly of Ancestrals broke into an uproar of shouting, at least those who either believed Adrien and Lily guilty or served Daniel. But Adrien also heard a lot of cheering as he broke Lily’s manacles.
He knew that even as he released Lily’s chains, some of the guards would return to do their duty. He had to get out of the Pit and get away now.
He took Josh in one arm and Lily in the next.
With the barest thought, he set them flying with his greatest speed ever, to his most secure residence in South Africa.
Within seconds, he stood in the living room, his astonished housekeeper staring at him as he held Josh and Lily in a tight embrace, mother and son weeping, the son finally enfolded within his mother’s arms.
CHAPTER 16
Lily led her son to the couch in the living room, then sat down and took him into her arms once more. Adrien moved into the hallway and she heard him on the phone talking to Gabriel and making arrangements to add to the security of the South African system.
She could be at ease now, at least where their safety was concerned, so she turned all her attention to her son.
She tried not to weep, but her tears escaped anyway, and she felt Josh’s emotions give way at the same time. For the next hour she let herself grieve and let Josh do the same, until finally they were both spent.
She reminded herself that this would be a long road, especially for Josh, so she reined in her emotions and focused on him, on what she felt coming from him, on what he was feeling.
There was a kind of blankness, almost an emptiness, as though the years of separation had robbed him of part of his personality, of who he was. And why wouldn’t they have?
At last he drew back and looked at her, his large hazel eyes a mirror of her own, but his nose and strong jawline like his father’s. “You were gone so long, Mom. I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
“Two years, sweetheart. But during most of that time, I didn’t know what happened to you. I didn’t even know you were alive.”
“You weren’t there, the night they came.”
“I was visiting my sister, your aunt, in Oregon when it happened. Do you remember? Can you tell me?” She wasn’t sure if the questions and timing were even appropriate, but she had to ask, had to know what he remembered so that she could help him.
He nodded. “The vampires came. I heard screaming.”
“From inside the house?”
“And from other houses. The next thing I knew, the vampires were in my room. One of them said, ‘Is this the one?’ The other nodded. They took me away. When I asked about Dad and Jessie, Mr. Kiernan said they were dead. He said you were alive, though, and that one day, if I was very good, I’d get to see you again. I tried to be good. I did. I guess I was good enough because here you are.”
“Oh, Josh.” She drew in another deep and much-needed breath. “Did you cry?”
“Yes,” he said slowly. “A lot at first. I don’t cry much anymore, except tonight, with you.”
He seemed so serious and maybe a thousand years old as he looked at her. “Did you cry, Mom?”
Tears filled her eyes. “Yes. Often. Every night for months and months. Oh, Josh, I can’t believe you’re here and I’m trying not to cry all over again.”
He put his hand on her shoulder. “I’m here, Mom. And I’m not going away. I’m here.”
Oh, God, her son was comforting her when she should be comforting him. She turned more fully toward him, so that she could pull her boy back into her arms. She held him for a long, long time, his thin arms holding her as well.
When Adrien appeared in the doorway, his expression solemn, she shifted to telepathy. Will Daniel come for us? Are we safe here? She had her son back and didn’t want to lose him again.
Daniel doesn’t matter now. He may come after us and if we have to, we’ll go into hiding as several of the Ancestrals have done. But Lily, I promise you, I’ll do whatever I need to do to protect you both.
Josh’s gaze shifted to look at Adrien as well. “Is this your home?”
Adrien nodded. “And yours and your mother’s as long as you need.”
Josh looked back at Lily. “I had someone with me, Mom, someone who took care of me. I think she might be in trouble, too.”
Lily smiled and squeezed his shoulder. “Tell us.”
“Her name is Claire. Mr. Kiernan called her my caregiver and she helped me a lot. We lived in a small house at the back of Mr. Kiernan’s property. I just hope she got away okay.”
“What do you mean?”
“She said she was going after a vampire named Lucian. She told me to be brave, then she left the house. I heard the dogs go after her, but I think she got away. She said she was going all the way to India to find this vampire.”
Lily stared at Adrien once more. Adrien opened his hands and shook his head. I have no idea what this means.
Josh put his finger on Lily’s single-chain beneath the double one. “Claire had a chain like this. She was wearing it when she left.”
“You mean it looked just like this one?” Lily held it up and Josh peered closely, examining it.
“Just like it. She said she got it from Mr. Kiernan’s safe.”
Lily’s brows rose. “Then she must be one clever young woman.”
“She is,” Josh said, smiling. “She’s a lot like you, Mom. You’d like her.”
“Oh, I have no doubt of that. She took care of you. For that, I owe her everything.”
He glanced at Adrien. “Do you think you could help her? I saw what you did when they tried to kill you. Claire told me a lot of things about vampires because she said she’s been around them for years. You have a lot of power. Could you help her?”
Adrien nodded. “I think I know where’s she’s headed. You see, Lucian, the one she’s after, is my brother.”
Josh’s eyes brightened. “He is? Then you can help her.”
“I’ll do what I can. I have powerful friends who can go to India and watch for her.”
Josh released a deep breath. “That would be great. I’m really worried.”
“I can see that.”
Lily understood then that her son had formed a critical bond with Claire, another mother–son relationship. She gave his shoulder another squeeze. “We’ll both do what we can to see that she’s watched over, to find out what happened to her.”
Tears filled his eyes. “Good.” He pressed his fingers to his eyelids. “She took care of me.”
“I know.”
Lily had to work all over again not to become enraged by all these circumstances that had brought so much pain into her son’s life. But once more, she took her emotions in hand. She could give vent to her feelings about the situation later. Right now, however, Josh needed her just to be his mother, to be there for him, to make him her priority for as long as needed.
She remained quiet, therefore, and let him deal with what he was feeling, in whatever way was necessary. That he wept again, this time probably for having lost Claire, didn’t surprise her.
After at least another hour, with Josh leaning against her shoulder, he said, “I can’t believe you’re here.”
“I can’t, either, but somehow we made it, and now you’re here, too.”
Josh sat up, pulling away from her as he looked around. “What is this place? This must be one of the cavern systems that Claire told me about. It is, isn’t it?” He shifted toward Adrien.
“Yes, in South Africa.”
Josh nodded. “I’d like to know more about your world.” How old he sounded, but then he’d lived a lifetime and if anyone understood what that was like it was Adrien.
Lily watched as Adrien pulled up an ottoman and sat down in front of her son, answering question after question, anything Josh wanted to know, leaving very little out. Josh often referred to Claire and all that she’d done for him and told him during his time at Kiernan’s home.
One day she’d want to thank the woman for what she’d done for Josh, because it seemed to Lily that single-handedly Claire had saved her son.
When Josh’s questions finally stopped, at least for now, Adrien had his housekeeper prepare a light meal of one of her fine soups and homemade breads.
Lily ate as well, as did Adrien since it seemed to them both that otherwise Josh wouldn’t have eaten. The housekeeper had prepared him a room, and when Josh’s eyelids grew heavy and he was weaving in his seat at the dining table, Lily finally agreed it was time for bed.
But she hated to let him go. Now that she had him back, she didn’t want him out of her sight. She tucked him in and sat in the chair next to his bed until he was sound asleep. She would have stayed there as well, but she needed to be with Adrien as well, to talk everything over with him and plan their next steps.
We won’t be far, just down at the end of the hall. Adrien cupped her face with his palm. This compound is well hidden and fortified for security. We need to plan where to go next, and he needs to sleep after all he’s been through.
Lily shifted her attention to Adrien. The new double-chain intensified what she sensed from him. She felt his love and his appreciation for her as Josh’s mother. She also felt his profound gratitude that she’d donned the second chain.
She smiled at him. I understand that and I will comply. But just a few minutes more?
Of course.
* * *
Adrien’s heart had never been so full, not in his entire life, not in four centuries of hard living—and a woman had done this.
Three days ago he’d been chained to a cavern wall; now he was free, powerful enough to stand up to Daniel and to protect his family, and he had a woman in his life who he loved with all his heart.
In a way the boy had brought her to him, and for that reason alone he would cover Josh with a shield of his protection so that no one would ever get to him again.
Though he’d started a war tonight against Daniel, he might not be the one to finish it. His first priority had to be Lily and Josh and he knew that Daniel would come after all of them with a vengeance. Daniel had been denied a kill and he’d been humiliated in front of an assembly of Ancestrals. Above all things, he’d want Adrien dead.
While waiting for Lily, Adrien made his call to Gabriel. Together, they decided on a hiding place deep in the Amazon, in a cavern system hidden behind multiple layers of Ancestral disguising skills. Gabriel and some of his closest Ancestral allies had unequaled disguising skills and they’d successfully hidden away a number of Daniel’s enemies, keeping them safe until the vampire world could figure out how to unseat the most powerful despot ever to take hold of the Council of Ancestrals.
Lily. He called her name. She turned toward him a little, but her body still faced Josh’s bed. Her fingers were pressed to her lips. Her eyes glistened with tears.
Telepathically, he reassured her that they were together now and would stay that way, which brought a deep sigh flowing out of her and her shoulders finally loosened and lowered.
Only then, when she was sure Josh would be safe, did she move toward him. He opened his arms and she stepped inside the circle of his embrace as he held her fast. “I swear,” he whispered, “that I will protect you and your son, above all things, even above the vengeance I want to bring down on the head of my father. I owe this to you, on behalf of my people, to do this for you.”
The chains vibrated heavily. It was as though a wave crashed through Lily, and she began to sob. He carried her from her son’s room to his bedroom, now their bedroom.
He sat down on the side of the bed and held her in his arms for a long, long time, and let her cry it all out, the years of separation, the years of believing Josh was dead, and the horror of having gone through a near-execution with her son as a witness.
He felt her pain because of the chains and because he knew what suffering was. As she wept, he also felt her begin to heal, and in her healing he was healed as well.
* * *
Lily rested her head against Adrien’s shoulder. She fingered the lapel of his finely tailored tux. She felt emptied of emotion, yet full, so full.
She released a sigh then another, heavy exhalations of all that she felt, the relief that she was safe and that Josh was under Adrien’s roof, hidden in a cave protected by Ancestrals.
Safe. She was safe and so was Josh.
And though Adrien held deep concerns for his brothers, she and Josh were his priority.
“What about Lucian and Marius?” She rubbed the fabric between her thumb and forefinger over and over.
“Daniel won’t kill them. Their deaths right now couldn’t serve him at all. He needs them to form tracking pairs.”
Lily frowned. “So Daniel can’t use Quill and Lev?”
“No, neither of them has that ability.”
She shifted to look up at him, her head cradled in the nook of his elbow, his hand rubbing her bare arm. “But you’re worried about Lucian and Marius.”
“Yes. And no. Before I met you, I’d thought of little else than helping to keep my brothers safe. At the same time I felt powerless. Then you arrived and changed everything. You created this enormous miracle in my life and now I’m trying to think about Lucian and Marius in those terms—that maybe something will come into each of their lives to change their futures as well.”
She shifted to stroke his cheek with her fingers. “Like Claire? Do you think she intends to form a bonding pair with Lucian?”
Adrien nodded. “I believe so. Why else would she have told Josh the things she did. She must have learned about Lucian’s chain and schemed to steal it. I’ll alert Gabriel so that he can keep an eye out for Claire. Hopefully that will give Josh some peace as well.”
“What if Daniel is waiting for her and decides to use her like he used me? Maybe you should try to intervene?”
He leaned down and kissed her. “I can’t answer for what is about to happen to Lucian or Claire, and I wish I could go to him, but you’re my responsibility now, both you and Josh.”
She wanted to protest, her guilt rising, but he kissed her again and a soft smile curved his lips. “No guilt, Lily. I don’t know exactly why events unfolded as they did, why you were brought into my life, but you’re here. Lucian and Marius are men, very powerful vampires, and what I trust in the most right now is that each will figure things out, how to survive.
“But there’s something more. Gabriel is working behind closed doors with other Ancestrals, and intends to create a counterforce against Daniel. He wants to retake the Council, and in time he will. So I will trust in that, in those vampires of Ancestral status, like Gabriel, and those aligned with him, to do what needs to be done.”
“But you should be with them.” More than anything in life she didn’t want to be a hindrance.
He shook his head. “If Daniel knew he could find me, he’d turn his attention toward me. The Ancestrals want his attention fixed on my brothers and on still hunting for the extinction weapon. They can track him better.”
“Did you give Gabriel the location of the weapon at the Black Cavern system?”
He nodded. “They’ve been there and destroyed it.”
“But it’s not over.”
He shook his head. “There were several groups experimenting at the time. Gabriel and many of the Ancestrals believe there was more than one weapon, and some of them in pieces, hidden in different systems.”
“That would explain why, when I thought about the weapon, I’d get so many readings, all over the globe at the same time. But Adrien, shouldn’t you and I be looking for them, perhaps now more than ever?”
He caught her hand and kissed her fingers. “In one sense, yes. But Gabriel and I both believe, as do many of the Ancestrals, that Josh should be our focus. I know that won’t make sense, but Josh, a mere child, didn’t deserve to become embroiled in what is essentially a vampire problem. He didn’t deserve to lose his mother, or his family. If I go with you both now, we can atone to you and Josh to some degree for what was taken from you because of my father. Please, don’t protest. The decision has been made. We’re going to the Rain Forest Caverns.”
Lily felt his determination and knew he wouldn’t be moved, which also gave her a tremendous sense of relief. She rested in what appeared to be a group decision to let her, and her tracking ability, disappear into the jungles of South America.
With her biggest concerns laid to rest, she looked into Adrien’s beautiful flecked teal eyes and finally began to relax. Josh was now safe, the future settled, and she could focus on the miracle that had become the man, the vampire, cradling her in his arms.
She pushed her fingers into his hair, shoving the beautiful strands away from his equally beautiful face. Love flooded her heart, an intense love, surprising and miraculous, because of the chains that bound her to Adrien. Tears filled her eyes all over again.
“Don’t cry.”
She chuckled softly. “These are just tears of profound joy and gratitude. I didn’t think we were going to make it.”
“But we did, didn’t we?”
“Incredibly, yes. With Josh.”
He nodded. “With your son.” He dipped down and kissed her, this time a lingering kiss. “Oh, Lily,” he murmured. And he lifted her to her feet, took her in his arms, and kissed her again.
The feel of his lips removed the last of her worries.
She was with Adrien, in his South African home, and he was going to make love to her.
He searched the recesses of her mouth and drew her tightly against him, all her velvet and crystals pressed against his fine black Brioni.
The physical strength of him was what she felt, the latent power in his muscled physique, the way his biceps rippled beneath her hands, his thighs flexed against her legs.
He drew back then dipped to kiss her neck, a series of plucks against her vein, a reminder of who and what he was.
She felt his blood-need rise, a tremor that passed through him and sent a strong vibration through her double-chain.
“Yes,” she whispered, “I need that as well. I need you to take from me. Tonight, you’ve given me so much. You’ve given me everything.”
He licked her neck repeatedly so that her breaths grew light and shallow, longing for him.
“I want to do something with you, Lily. Something I’ve never done before, but this new level of power tells me I can.”
Her mind flowed back and forth, loose with desire. Through the chains she could sense his desire as well, like a dull wonderful ache. “Anything, Adrien. My God, anything.”
He kept plucking at her neck. Chills rippled down her chest and arms, even her back. “Mmmm,” she murmured softly. “What do you want to do?”
“I think it’s better if I just showed you.”
He shifted her back to the bed and set her down on the edge. Her fingertips gripped the sides of the silk comforter. She trembled now as he knelt on the carpet. He took her burgundy skirts in hand, pushing them up her bare thighs, higher and higher.
“Lift your hips,” he whispered.
She obeyed and he shoved all that fabric up behind her, then spread her legs. She wore a black lace thong, the barest scrap of fabric.
“Lie back.” His deep voice worked like a hypnotic drug and she eased down on the bed, her dress a lump under her back—but it really didn’t matter because he was kissing her low, and using his finger to play with the lace, which gave her two sensations at once. He rimmed the edge of her thong with his tongue so that the fabric tugged on her while his fingers played and his tongue spread a layer of oh-so-welcome moisture over her skin.
“Unh,” came from between her lips, a soft moan. She shuddered when he gripped the sides of her thong and tore the fabric apart.
“Oh, God,” she said, a whisper against the air.
His tongue covered her in long wet swipes, sideways over her bare mons then moving lower and lower, teasing her labia, all swollen now with tingling desire.
But when he began to work her between her lower lips, her body arched and a deep moan fell from her throat.
Lily.
Telepathy. Beautiful. I love your voice in my head.
I’m going to do that thing now. Be ready.
She might have groaned, she wasn’t sure. I’m ready. She closed her eyes and waited. He never stopped taking care of her very low but after a moment a familiar vibration began, the kind that happened when he battled in two places at once.
The thought of Adrien becoming two entities at the same time forced another long moan from between her lips. He sucked on her low as the vibration intensified.
She felt a strange movement all around, more vibration, and her chain sang against her skin.
Open your eyes.
Though she felt Adrien licking her low, now he was also, at the same time, staring down into her face, stroking her cheek.
She gasped. “You separated.”
I did. Are you enjoying this?
She nodded.
Good.
Are you able to speak?
He shook his head, then leaned close and kissed her.
Lily thought she might have just died and gone to heaven. More of Adrien, that was what she thought as he worked her low and kissed her mouth at the exact same time.
Two Adriens.
The love she felt for him expanded as she slid her arms around his neck and embraced him. He deepened the kiss, searching the recesses of her mouth, but to feel two tongues at once caused a shiver to chase up and down her body in exhilarating waves.
Her hips responded to the flick of his tongue low and she groaned against his mouth at the same time. She slid her fingers into his thick hair, caressing as he kissed her. Using the same hand, she drifted her fingers down his back, then shifted to the second Adrien, stroking his face and feeling where his soft tongue played along her labia.
I like that you’re touching my tongue. Adrien’s voice in her mind, as well as two bodies she could savor and enjoy, strengthened her rising need.
Adrien, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. His lips shifted to suck her finger, then back to her clitoris, flicking his tongue quickly until she rocked against his face. At the same time, he kissed her with swift erotic plunges of his tongue that left her gasping.
Being tended to in both places at once brought pleasure rising sharply, and she cried out against his mouth. Lower, he sped up so that one sensation piled up on another, his tongue in her mouth, flicks down low, the feel of one body beneath her right hand, and a second set of shoulders beneath the other.
She writhed beneath him, hungering, reaching for more, rushing toward ecstasy.
Lily, he whispered within her mind. I love you so much. I love feeling you beneath me like this. One set of hands caressed her breasts, her arms, her shoulders. The other squeezed her hips and stroked her thighs. So much incredible sensation.
A string of cries left her throat. Adrien, I’m coming. Other words might have traveled along the telepathic link but she wasn’t sure since she was so caught up in all that she was experiencing. Pleasure exploded as his tongue pummeled her mouth, as two sets of hands traveled her body, as the other Adrien kept pleasure spiraling through her low. He sucked and flicked until she trembled, ecstasy rolling in waves, one after the other.
At last, panting, her body began to settle down. When she finally lay quiet, he leaned back once more and smiled. Good?
Perfect.
He nodded. I love you so much.
I love you, too.
Down low, the second Adrien kissed her repeatedly just above her clitoris, then the first Adrien kissed her mouth again.
I’m going to re-form now.
She watched as he drifted back to himself, wavy lines in the air like a blur, and at the same time rose from the carpet. He leaned over her, his hands planted on the bed, on either side of her. “How was that?”
“Oh, my God. Adrien, to feel you kiss me while you brought me between my legs. Heaven.” She rubbed his neck.
“More?”
“A lot more. I need you.”
He nodded and began to undress. But he took his time as he held her gaze. She leaned up on her elbows, her legs dangling over the side of the bed, her toes just touching the carpet.
And now he was taking his jacket off, folding it up and laying it across the bench at the foot of the bed. He unhooked a pair of ruby cuff links. He set these on the nightstand. They rocked back and forth, two small spots of red, bloodred.
Her heart beat harder, her gaze drawn to him as he worked at his shirt. He opened the front, eased the soft white fabric down his back, and let it fall to the floor. The vampire had a magnificent body, thick, built pecs, shoulders that went on forever, muscled arms.
And he was hers.
She touched the double-chain at her neck and her heart swelled, knowing that this man belonged to her now and forever.
He took off his shoes then slipped his pants off, as well as black silk boxers.
And there he was. She felt heated up and dizzy. Her heart raced now and it wasn’t just his body, it was all of him, who he was, his tenderness with her, his concern for Josh, his commitment to keeping them safe from Daniel. He overwhelmed her with his character, his presence, and yes, with that body standing in front of her, his cock firm and ready.
But the earlier tremor rolled through him and she felt his need for her blood. She moved to the edge of the bed, her legs parted wide. She tilted her head, presenting her neck.
He groaned and fell on his knees. She felt his hands on her waist through the velvet. The chains vibrated continuously now so that she felt connected to all that he felt.
He moved swiftly, making a quick strike with his fangs, then sealing his lips over the wound as he started to suck down her blood.
The sensation sent chills down her abdomen all the way to her sex, firing her need for him to plant himself between her legs.
He held her close as he continued to drink her down. She felt his blood-hunger begin to ease, and when it dissipated at last, he released her neck.
He rose up from the floor, extended his hand to her, and drew her to her feet. She thought he would take her gown off. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her again, plunging his tongue into her mouth.
She whimpered beneath the vast sensations that pummeled her, of his warm skin beneath her fingers, the thickness of his muscles, the pressure of his hard cock against her gown. Her hands grew restless and greedy. She slid them up and down his back, reached in front and stroked his abs.
He gave her just enough room and she drifted her hand low. She cried out as she touched the tip of his cock and found it wet.
