When he pulled back, he loosened her hands on his shoulders, made her lie back, float in the water with her arms out to the sides, hten her stoaze coursing over her throat and mouth, her breasts, down the slope of her abdomen
"Close your eyes," he said
When she did, he took the her doith hi hi her all the way to the hilt Because of the pool lights, she was able to look at hi iht as he experienced the same pleasure she did, in this silent, still environain, she clutched his shoulders, wanting him to thrust, but instead he pulled out Turned her around, and with an effortless move that took her breath, he lifted her and slid back in at the proper angle froainst his body with a hand on her throat and his other hand low, just above her le She wanted to lean forward, wanted hi small, incremental moveoing through her
"Derek"
"Sshhh Just feel it, Ruby Feel what I am to you Trustthat, but she relaxed her need to try to direct things, instead experiencing the incredible sensations he was giving her There were definite advantages to being with a guy as centuries old, because he’d had lots of time to practice Theas the body was strong enough to sustain it And Derek was all power in this moment
His fingers slipped over her clit, ed, and she cried out Her back arched, her breasts thrusting out, needing attention as well The water lapped over the the sensation of friction over her nipples She struggled instinctively, wanting ain, his fingers apressure on her tender tissues, his hand locked in a gentle squeeze on her throat, holding her in place
"Ruby… take hter"

"Then pretend you didn’t see it, because no I won’t" With a burst oftheir connection, and backed across the pool He turned to face her but didn’t erously still on her face
"You have to, Ruby She’s hter, too"
"You won’t understand" Sheher robe, she snatched at the bundle he’d left there When she threw it on, she realized she’d picked up Derek’s The robe ca over her wrists She didn’t care She began to retreat Daravel path She picked herself over it, tried to bolt when he caht her wrist, her reaction was instinct, power sizzling through her skin, sparking off his palo, he countered She cried out as the shock jolted through her nerve centers, forcing her to one knee
With a curse, he caught her up, carried her back to the smoother concrete collar around the pool When he let her back down, he held on to her wrist, his expression dark "You try that again, I ear your ass out," he said "I can get a lot rougher, and you can’t stand against her, I’entle"
It wasn’t like Derek to be cruel, but she had enough sense to understand why he was struggling with his te to him He’d known that for a while, obviously, but now he’d seen the truth behind the lie She didn’t blary with her Hell, she wouldn’t bla the shit out of her if she pushed hiht prefer that to the alternative, so she stubbornly locked her jaw, closing her arms around herself
