25. Leo

This secludedslice of heaven is dappled with golden hues of sunlight, casting elongated shadows that dance along the soft, lush grass. The thick scent of wildflowers blends with the pine, creating a perfume that is both earthy and ethereal, matching the surreal quality of our hidden enclave. Frankie's presence here is a gift. Her gaze wanders over the familiar scenery, a sacred secret she has chosen to share, and I see her lips move slightly, whispering silent appreciations or perhaps memories to the breeze.

She has no idea that we aren't on Earth anymore. We are, in fact, in the shadow realm. This truth changes everything, absolutely everything, but it's a truth I'll revisit much later, when Frankie isn't looking at me with hooded eyes, her pupils dilated with desire, and licking her lips with an anticipation that sends a thrill straight through me.

I want her touch, her fingertips tracing down my spine and her breath against my skin as she explores the contours of my body, and I want her taste, her lips on mine and her tongue mapping the path to my heart. I want to savor her, to learn every sigh and secret that her body can whisper to mine.

I want to open her up and explore every inch of Frankie's body, running my hands along the gentle curve of her hips before dipping my fingers into the folds of her wet heat.

Hell, I just want her, all of her, and here she is, in my arms.

Mine.

Her coconut scent envelops me, disarmingly sweet against the musky backdrop of the shadow realm. It's a scent that speaks of warm beaches and hidden coves, mingling with the cool, misty air of our secret hideaway. Her proximity is intoxicating, her body a siren's call that my every fiber responds to without hesitation.

As our lips meet, a spark seems to draw us even closer into each other's orbits. Her hands are woven into my hair, an anchor in the swirling tide of our mutual desire. Each moan from her lips stokes the fire within me, a fire that burns with the need to hear her, feel her, and know her completely.

I want to hear her moan for me again and again.

Amidst the heat of our passion, a nagging worry tugs at the corners of my mind. The longer I keep the truth about the shadow realm from Frankie, the more tangled our web of lies becomes. In this moment, though, with her hands woven into my hair and her lips molding against mine, it's easy to forget the weight of secrets and revel in the warmth of her touch.

As I guide her gently against the naturally heated rock, the scene transforms. The water cascading from above bathes us in warmth, our own secluded waterfall veiling us from the world. Seeing Frankie's body against the mossy stone is a vision of natural beauty, her skin glowing under the water's caress, her tattoos peeking through the droplets like ancient, mystic runes.

I want to trace the swirling lines of her tattoos with my tongue and worship every inch of her as she deserves. Frankie's cheeks flush a deep shade of rose, but she offers no resistance as I lift her onto the moss-covered rock, the texture soft and cool against her heated skin. The warm water caresses my thighs as I kneel before her, captivated by the openness in her gaze—a mix of desire and vulnerability that makes my own heart pound with a fierce intensity.

Pausing, I look up at her, letting my eyes communicate my intentions, my desires. "I want nothing more than to bury my face between your thighs." Corny? Perhaps, but I need her to know my desire, my need, is genuine and profound. "Tell me you want that."

"Leo." She leans back against the cool stone, her chest rising and falling rapidly, the beads of water on her skin catching the rays of light. "Make me come."

Her command is all the invitation I need. I dive into the most intimate part of her, learning the unique taste of her pleasure—a blend of sweet and spicy that's entirely her. Frankie's moans fill the space, her hands tangling in my hair, urging me on. Her body tells me what she needs, and I listen with every sense attuned to her.

As I dive deeper into our shared ecstasy, I feel the palpable intensity between us thickening the air itself. Frankie's taste lingers on my lips, drawing me ever closer to a primal need for more. I trail kisses down to her clit, giving it just the right amount of pressure before moving on to the next area. She tenses underneath me, telling me I found her sweet spot.

As soon as I feel her body start to tremble, I know she's close. Her moans become more urgent, and she pulls on my hair.

"Leo... Oh gods... Right there." Frankie's back arches, pushing her against my mouth. I growl in response, taking her farther into my mouth.

Her sweet nectar flows onto my tongue, and I lap it up like a man who has been starved for too long.

My cock presses against the wall of the hot spring, begging me to push into her sweet heat, but not before she comes all over my tongue.

The sound of cascading water mutes our moans and heavy breathing as I continue to please her. Frankie's nails dig into my scalp, eliciting a soft hiss from me, but I don't care. Nothing matters except for her pleasure. Nothing else exists other than the two of us.

Frankie's moans grow louder, and her body tenses with need as she nears her climax. I double my efforts, demanding every last scream she has to offer me. Her juices flow down my chin, coating it and dampening my chest as she chases the high only an orgasm can provide.

Her moans become louder, her hips bucking against my face as she teeters on the edge of climax. I know her well enough to recognize that she's close, so I redouble my efforts, swirling my tongue around her clit in a figure eight motion while pressing a finger inside her. Her walls clench around my digit, and she screams my name as she comes apart in my arms. Her essence washes over my face, and I drink it in, marking her as mine in every way possible.

As Frankie trembles with the aftershocks of her climax, the intensity of her release washes over both of us like a wave. Her essence is a bond that pulls me deeper into the whirlpool of our connection. I am addicted, utterly consumed by the need to hear her, taste her, and be part of her in every possible way.

Damn, I need to hear her scream my name again. I'm addicted to her taste, and I suck her lips and lick every pulse of fluid that drips from her pussy.

"Leo." She tugs my head away, her body trembling. "Fuck me."

I can't deny her anything. I rise to my feet, and she wraps her legs around my waist, digging her heels into my lower back as she presses herself against me. I hiss in a breath, my cock aching for her sweet heat. I position myself at her entrance, our eyes locked together as I begin to enter her slowly.

"Fuck, Frankie... you're so tight." I groan, fighting for control. "You feel better than I ever imagined."

I pause, shock in my eyes as my tip presses into her tight pussy. "Condom," I murmur, my hands clenching and unclenching on her hips.

"Birth control," she says, gripping my ass as she tries to force me inside her.

I shudder. Feeling her raw sends a primal need through me to mark her with my canines and bind her to me. She still doesn't know what or who she is, though, and I'm not going to be that asshole.

Plus, right now, I have a more pressing need—one that throbs at her entrance, aching to be inside her wet heat. She's absolutely beautiful. She's bent back on the rock, her hard nipples and heaving chest on display for me.

"Leo." She kicks me with her heels, trying to pull me inside her. "Now, Leo."

Ever so slowly, I sink into her cunt. Her walls milk me like they are sucking me inside her. My whole body shudders, and my balls draw up tight.

I'm going to come too fast.

Fuck it. If I come, then I'll just keep going until I come again and again with her. I thrust my hips, hard and fast, until I'm completely bottomed out.

She feels like heaven, like home. Fucking perfect.

She bites her lip as she rocks her hips toward me, her swift motions matching mine as our bodies mesh seamlessly together. It's as if we were made for each other.

"Leo... Leo... Harder," Frankie moans through gritted teeth. Her nails leave red trails on my back, but I don't care. All I can think about is her and how good she feels wrapped around me.

I comply with a growl, ramming into her harder and faster, lost in the sensation of being inside her wet heat.

In a haze of lust and desire, I pick up the pace, my hips slamming into hers with an almost feral intensity. Frankie's nails dig deeper into my back, her heels kicking my ass as she urges me onward. "Oh, fuck!" I groan. Her tight heat is like nothing I've ever felt before, her walls gripping me snugly. With every thrust, I feel myself getting closer and closer to the edge.

"Frankie," I growl against her neck, my teeth grazing her sensitive skin, the urge to bite her, to mark her as mine overwhelming. "I'm not going to last much longer."

"Neither am I," she rasps, her body trembling against mine. "Leo... don't stop."

As if I could. Driving balls deep inside her, I teeter on the edge of oblivion. "Are you sure?" I manage to grunt out, wanting her consent one more time before we both tumble over the edge together.

"Yes... Gods, yes."

With a growl, I capture her lips in a deep, passionate kiss. Her sweetness invades my senses as I pick up the pace, plunging into her wet heat with abandon. Her scent, her taste, everything about her overwhelms me as our bodies move together in perfect harmony. The sound of our moans mingling together with the waterfall is intoxicating, spurring me on to drive deeper and harder inside her.

"Leo... Leo!" Frankie's nails dig into my back as she clenches around my length. "I'm... I'm... Oh gods!" Her pussy contracts around me as she orgasms, her juices coating my cock.

It's too much. I can't hold back any longer. With one final thrust, I bite down on her shoulder, just shy of breaking the skin, as I come inside her. Stars explode behind my eyelids as wave after wave of pleasure washes over me. Frankie's name is a mantra on my lips as I empty myself within her, claiming her as mine.

Frankie's nails leave little half-moon marks on my back when she finally collapses against the rock, her arms and legs still tangled around me. Her rapid pants are the only sounds that fill the air as we both catch our breath. I hold her close, my cock still buried inside her hot channel, afraid to move lest I can't control myself.

"Holy fuck," she mutters into my shoulder, her body still trembling. "That... was... indescribable."

I chuckle, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. "I'm glad you approve." I slowly ease out of her slick heat. A string of liquid connects us for a moment before it breaks and falls into the water below us.

"Holy shit," Frankie whispers, looking down at the evidence of our union. "We... We just..."

"Fucked up?" I finish for her with a smirk, trying to diffuse the situation. I rest my head on her shoulder, my cock softening between us. "Frankly, Frankie, it was worth it."

"Worth it, totally worth it." She falls back onto the rock.

I lean back in the water, still needing to touch her. My hands spread her legs apart, and I watch as my cum drips out of her.

I don't know what comes over me, but with two fingers, I scoop and push my cum back into her body.

"Leo." She tries to close her legs.

"Shh." My entire body shivers, and I continue to pump my fingers in and out of her, pushing my cum back in, only to swirl my fingers around and massage the spongy tissue inside her.

"Oh, hell, Leo." Her hips slowly begin to pump again.

I need to see her come for me one more time as I push my seed back inside her. "One more time, Frankie." Pushing up and out of the water, I hover over her, wrapping my lips around her nipple and tugging on her sensitive bud as I continue to pump my fingers in and out. "Come for me again, baby."

She moans. "I don't think I can."

Popping off her nipple, I trail kisses to her ear where I intend to whisper naughty things to her. Something comes over me as my fingers twist inside her and her walls milk my fingers.

"Next time I fuck you, I'm going to" —I pull my fingers out with some of my cum and rub them against her ass— "fuck you right here. Do you want that, Frankie?"

I need her to say yes.

"Yes, oh gods, Leo, yes." She shifts her hips, begging me to fuck her ass.

I push my finger inside her. "Know what I want to see?" I shudder as I work my finger into her.

"What?"

"Look at me."

She leans up on her elbows, her body splotchy from multiple orgasms.

"I want to see Matteo fuck your pussy while I fuck this ass." Using my other hand, I push two fingers into her pussy, mimicking both of us fucking her at the same time.

Her mouth drops open, and her body trembles, her walls tightening on my fingers.

"Both of you?' she stammers.

"Yes." I moan, my cock already hardening again. "Both of us. We'd go slow at first, and then deeper. Harder." I match my fingers to my words, fucking her relentlessly. "Just like that, Frankie. You'd look beautiful between us." I moan long and low just thinking about it. "Fuck, you're so wet."

Like a tsunami, her orgasm crashes over her, and I have the privilege of watching her crest and fall. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. I continue to tease her until she twitches and tries to snap her legs closed, then I pull out of her and drag her into the water with me, gently cleaning her off.

Her head rests on my shoulder in complete submission and relaxation—and trust. My shadow shifter preens and purrs inside me, itching to come out and play since we can here, but not yet. Soon. Right now, this moment is all about her and how willingly she comes to me.

She's mine and has no idea.

I can't wait to prove it to her in all the ways that matter.
