16. River

Ikick the trailer door closed behind me with a desperation that should quite honestly be embarrassing, but at this point, I'm too eager to care. There was something so fucking hot and exhilarating about spinning on the wheel while Akira threw sharp objects at me. I didn't want to get hurt, of course, but the amount of trust it takes combined with knowing that the sharp daggers were headed my way turned me on.

Akira tears off his leather jacket while giving me a heated look.

I gasp when he whips his black shirt over his head. Damn. He"s so fucking pretty, with his sharp cheekbones, his hair tumbling out of his messy bun, and all those muscles on display. He yanks me to him and I marvel over his paranormal strength yet again. I've never been manhandled before and I fucking love it.

I use my teeth to bite at his bottom lip before sucking it into my mouth, and he groans against my lips. My kitsune has a thing for rough kissing. Akira"s lips are intoxicating. I need Akira so badly right now. We never discussed who would top or bottom, but damn, I hope he's okay with me sliding inside of him.

He pulls away before pressing a gentle kiss to my cheek. "Please, Riv, tell me you want me," he breathes. "Because I'm desperate to feel you inside of me."

"Yes. Hell yes," I reply, pulling my shirt off and dropping it to the floor. "We never discussed this, but are you vers?"

Akira shakes his head with a concerned look. "No, I'm not, but for you, I can try if you want me to?"

My heart flutters. God, this man. I yank him back to me and kiss him fiercely. "Thank you, but that shouldn't be an issue. I need to be inside of you, love."

Akira smirks. "Love?"

I blush.

"Now that that's sorted, I'm even more excited to ride this hard cock of yours." Akira's hand slides down the front of my pants and grips my length. "You are so big, I love it," he purrs.

"Yes, please," I beg. "I need to fuck you, Akira. I want you to ride me and show me how you like it."

He growls, mashing our lips back together. Even though our trailer is small, Akira guides me as I blindly walk backward, focused on our kisses. To my shock, he guides us past my bed and straight toward the small bathroom. I kick my shoes off and Akira does the same. He reaches for me and yanks my pants down, causing my cock to bounce with the force.

He chuckles when he pulls away, and eyes our small shower. "You think we can fit?"

I laugh. "Let"s give it a try."

Akira grins back. "Go on, you first, little fox," he says, stripping the rest of his clothes off.

I flip on the hot water and step into the shower. It's going to be tight in here, but that's okay; showering with my partner is one of my favorite things. Suddenly self-conscious about my kitsune tattoo, I flip around so my back is against the wall. I'll show him the tattoo later. For some reason, I have a feeling that the tattoo on my back will look very similar to Akira's shifted form, and I don't know how to explain it. Would it freak him out? Does it mean something specific?

The brief thought of Akira and I being fated mates flitters into my brain, and a jolt of excitement stirs in my stomach. Holy shit. I would love that. I want to be Akira's mate. Two months ago, the thought of Indy and Seven being fated was hard for me to understand. Now that I've gotten to know Akira, I want him to be mine. And I desperately want to be his.

Akira slips inside of the shower and his hungry gaze drops to my cock. I stroke it slowly for him as the water sprays on my body. I moan, making sure to give him a show.

"Don't forget who's in control here, River. We might end this day with you inside of me, but you can't come until I say."

I whimper, licking my lips. What would it be like to submit to such a powerful man? "Please," I say, nodding.

"What do you want?"

I glance down at his naked body, his tan skin, his lean frame, and his thick dick pointing right at me. I swallow hard. Akira's bracelets are still on his wrists, and something about the sight of his delicate jewelry paired with his powerful arms makes me even harder.

Akira chuckles. "Little fox?"

Oh, right. "Can I taste you?"

His stormy blue eyes swirl with color before his pupils elongate into slits. I love it when they do that. Akira's thick cock bobs in front of him and brushes against my hip as he leans closer. The hot water sprays us both, as Akira nods.

I drop to my knees. Akira moves the shower nozzle so I don't get a face full of water, which I appreciate. His cock jerks in front of me. I can't believe I want to taste another man. "Damn, you're pretty everywhere," I say as I lean forward and lick him from tip to base.

It's strange at first, feeling his silky soft skin over his hard dick, but everything about it is intoxicating. I lick him again, then suck the tip into my mouth.

"Fuck," Akira breathes. "Just like that."

His words spur me on. I take more of him in my mouth until he hits the back of my throat.

"You are so fucking gorgeous."

I light up under his praise. Then curiosity gets the best of me, so I pull off of him with a pop and lick lower, sucking on one of his balls into my mouth.

He groans.

That's when a wicked, tempting idea comes to mind, and I lick even lower.

Akira gasps. "What are you doing, little fox?"

Instead of answering, I make my intentions clear when I guide him to flip around. Water is running down his back, and the sight is so gorgeous. Akira's ass is round and muscular. I spread his cheeks open and lick there, too. I lap at his most intimate part and feed off of his loud moans.

I work him open with my tongue and reach my hand around the front of him to give him a few strokes. Akira's fingers wrap around my wrist, stopping me.

"Don't," he says. "You'll make me come, and I want to be riding your dick the first time I come with you, Riv."

"I want that." I nod. "For you to ride me and use me until you come."

"Yes, little fox." He pulls me back up so that I'm standing. Then his lips are on mine. He kisses my lips, my neck, my chest. He lavishes me with kisses and compliments that have me soaring high. I don't think I've ever been with someone who has ever made me feel this special.

Quickly, we shampoo and wash off before leaving the shower and drying ourselves.

We are both still hard and ready.

Pre-cum leaks from his dick. "I've never met anyone like you before." He presses a kiss to my lips. I turn off the lights as we go. There's enough light from outside that we can both still make out where we are going. The insecure side of me bubbles up. I'm still afraid of Akira seeing my tattoo. I guide us back to my bed and lay on my back.

"You don't want the light on?" He asks.

"Later," I reply. "We can explore each other later. Come sit on my face so I can open you up."

Akira growls. "Remember who's in charge, little human."

A smile breaks across my face when Akira doesn't say anything else, but climbs on top of me. I lap and lick, stretching him open. Then I start using my fingers.

"Enough," he says as he crawls back down my body and slowly slides onto my hard dick.

The pressure is delicious. He's so tight, it's distracting. He feels so damn good that I can't think straight. I gasp. "Wait, a condom?"

"Shifters can't catch or pass anything. Is this okay?" He slides further down my length, and I nod frantically.

Then he rides me with a desperation and speed I can't keep up with. I just gasp for breath and hold on to his hips as he takes control and uses my body the way he wants. I fucking love it.

"You are so handsome, River. Look at you, letting me have my wicked way with you. I love this beautiful body of yours."

I close my eyes, savoring his words and pretending he's telling me he loves everything about me, that he loves me. Because I'm falling and I already know I'm in too deep, but where this is the point I'd usually run, I grasp on harder instead. I yank Akira's mouth down to mine as I push up into him. I kiss him hard, passionately. And I convey all my feelings in this kiss.

"You're so pretty, Akira. Please, love," I beg, the pet name slipping from my lips again. "I can't last. Please let me come." I wrap my fingers around his cock and stroke him fast.

He groans. "So good," he cries out, riding me even faster. "You are a fucking gift. I love the feel of you inside of me."

I moan, thrusting harder. "I'm not going to last, love."

The noises we're making are primal—pure animalistic need. I grip his hip with my free hand, and pump his faster with the other.

"Fuck, Riv, fuck. Come. Come now," he growls. Akira tightens around me and I come with a shout.

I thrust one last time before he shudders and moans above me, spurting all over my abs and chest. "That's it, little fox."

He collapses on top of me. I pull him against me, pressing a tender kiss to his forehead.

Akira blinks, suddenly looking sated and innocent with his wide eyes. He kisses my lips. "Thank you, little fox," he purrs.

"Thank you, Akira. I've never felt this way about anyone before," I whisper.

His whole face softens, and he gives me the sweetest little smile. "Me too, River," he whispers back. "Me too."

The next morning when I wake, I reach for Akira only to find the bed empty. I pad out to our shared space, although if things keep going at the pace we're going, then I guess the whole trailer might as well be our shared space.

"Good morning, handsome," Akira says from the sofa. "I wanted to make you some coffee so bad, but I have a feeling it's better if I don't test the Keurig."

I chuckle. "I'll make us some coffee. Any preferences?"

"Surprise me."

As soon as I make each of us a cup, I hand him one and peek over to see what he has in his hands.

"What are these?" I eye his pretty deck of cards with the detailed artwork on them. They remind me of tarot cards in a way.

"These are Scorling cards. It"s a game we play in Faerie. You can play with others, but you can also play by yourself. I used to collect the cards when I was younger. Right now I only have this deck, but I still like to play."

"So you do have other hobbies."

He grins. "Yeah, kind of like the way you collect keys or love to run."

"Huh, I guess we both have more likes and interests than we thought."

"Hmm. Maybe we can rediscover all our interests together." He says it as more of a statement rather than a question.

I find that I love the idea. "That sounds nice."

Rediscovering myself with this charming kitsune who's filled with life? Yeah, sign me up.
