ADONE

Ifelt feverish, but I was not sick. No, my heady feelings were driven by Summer. My mate. The only female I would ever love. She was the part of me I never realized I sought, and I’d be crushed if I could not be with her.

Did I love her now? I wasn’t sure. I respected and adored her, and it was clear by my throbbing cock that I ached to possess her body. Given time, however, my feelings would grow into a consuming need that would never fade. I’d want her until the day I died, and I accepted that.

When I reached her, I floated beside her, savoring the thrill of knowing we’d soon come together. There was no need to rush; we had all night.

“No moon,” she said. “But I see a few stars.”

“They shine through the clear dome.”

“They’re real and the dome and our surroundings are not.”

“They are real enough for this Game.” And deadly. Despite being computer generated, our surroundings could still kill us.

But I didn’t want to think about that. I wanted to focus on Summer.

I dropped my feet down and used my arms to maintain my position. The pool was deep, and we were well over our heads.

“What they created for us for our break is perfect, but they forgot one thing,” she said.

“What is missing?” Hopefully not something related to me. Would I always feel as if I wasn’t worthy of love?

“A big, squishy bed.”

“We will rest on leaves. The sand is warm, and it will be squishy beneath us.”

She floated close to me, and her hands cupped my shoulders. The water placed us at equal height, though her feet skimmed across my knees.

“I want to be with you, Adone, and not only to show you how wonderful this kind of intimacy can be.”

She wrapped her legs around me as I tugged her close.

“Show me but know that I will also show you.”

Her lips quirked up. “I like that. We’ll show each other. Let’s throw aside the teacher-student thing, okay? I want to feel and give and think of nothing else.”

“Oh-kay,” I said. “I only need you.”

Our mouths met, and the kiss soared through me. Within ticks, my head spun, and my cock responded. It was eager to taste more. I was eager to feel it all.

She moaned, her fingers stroking my shoulders, and I marveled all over again at the wonder of holding this female—my mate—in my arms.

Our tongues teased together while heat built between us.

When Bahros spoke of the Steps of Videen, I was nervous. How could I remember all the details needed to give a female pleasure? What if I messed up, and she was left unsatisfied or worse, hurt? I’d dreamed of being with someone, but even then, I assumed it would never happen. I’d die during one of Vunne’s experiments, and that would be it.

Now I floated in a pool with my mate—a female I could only dream about back in my cell. I wanted this to be special for her. That was more important than me learning a skill. It had never been about me; it was always about her.

I wrapped my arms around her and shifted her around until I held her. I made my way to the shore. Only then did I spy a bed of leaves waiting for us beneath a low hanging tree. They had thought of everything, though I doubted they knew what we’d do on those leaves.

Perhaps Burmoot suspected, and he’d made this possible.

I laid Summer on them and marveled at how beautiful she was. But it wasn’t only her reddish-blonde hair, her lush shape, or the color of her eyes. Her beauty came from within. She cared about what happened to me. She did all she could to ease my pain. And she wanted me.

That would sustain us if we remained together or were pulled apart. The affection we felt for each other would last a lifetime. I knew this in my hearts.

I kissed her again, stroking her sides with my fingers, taking care not to harm her fragile skin with my claws. When she moaned and bucked beneath me, I glided my fingers to her breast. The water had made her skin slippery, and I savored the feel of her warm and beneath me.
