I shrugged. “Okay. It’s your story. Fix it if you don’t like the direction it’s going in.”
Alyx was taking his storytelling to a crazy level, and he was getting so emotional. If I didn’t know better, I would swear there was a mixture of torment and sadness in his eyes. “Rewrite that part. Or let them reunite. The commanders can apologize, and they can live happily ever after in the fictional world of Atlantis.”
Alyx smiled, all sultry and gorgeous. “There’s nothing that I would enjoy more.” Slowly, he eased his way toward me. The way his eyes devoured me made me forget the ugly shell of my body. There was something about him…about this place that made me feel alive and beautiful. My employer made my body throb in all the right places—that hadn’t happened in years. “Do you have any idea how attractive you really are, Kailar?”
He’d moved so close that he was nearly within my grasp. I should have felt humiliated by the comment because we both knew I wasn’t anywhere near attractive but, for some reason, it didn’t bother me as it normally would have.
“Hardly,” I whispered. “Hopefully my inside beauty makes up for the ugliness of the outside, though.” I felt myself blush. My sides tingled and tickled again. I was sitting waist deep in the water on the edge of the pool, and I hoped the water wasn’t causing some kind of itchy rash. The twitching of my skin was even more pronounced this time. I wanted to claw at my sides…claw at Alyx. Why would I feel that way?
“Beautiful on the inside and outside,” he murmured, his lips nearly touching mine. He was so close now that our lower halves touched. At some point, I’d stood up—me and my dick, that is, who had definitely decided he wanted to be a major player in this. Thankfully, Alyx was hard as well. The water was up to my chest and the thin material of our speedos couldn’t really be considered much of a barrier between us.
“May I kiss you?” he whispered against my ear, taking a nibble on the lobe between words.
“You…you want to kiss me?” I couldn’t believe it. This had to be some sort of joke. Maybe Alyx and the Dragon lady were in on it together?
“More than anything,” he answered…and somehow, I knew he spoke the truth.
All my doubts vanished—well, maybe not vanished, but took a step back. Instead of waiting for him, I lunged forward and attacked his lips with mine. He made a noise that sounded something like a growl as he met my hunger with his own. Our tongues dueled. He tasted…salty and sweet at the same time. I couldn’t get enough. I wanted him. I was angry with him. I…I loved him? No, that wasn’t possible. He easily lifted me up, and I automatically wrapped my legs around his lean waist. We continued to devour one another. My cock rubbed his abs as I rode him beneath the water. I hadn’t realized it, but he carried us deeper into the pool.
I wasn’t scared, because he had his arms around me and besides, the salt water caressed me like a lover. Alyx’s hands were doing an even better job. I needed to feel him inside me. It wasn’t a want, but a real need. Visions of a different life…a happier life danced in my head.
“I want you so much, Kailar.”
“Then have me. Please…”
He wasted no time in sliding my swim briefs down my hips and then he leaned down, took my face in his cupped hands and kissed me deeply and sweetly. My mouth opened instantly to admit him, and our tongues met in a soft glide.
He pulled his lips away from mine and he cupped my cheek. “The commander’s name was Alyxsander. I’m Alyxsander, darling. You are the little prince I spoke of. My little prince. Nothing will ever part us again, my love.”
My mind reeled and my body felt like it suddenly exploded with anger. The visions became more vivid…more real. What was happening?
“What are you talking about?”
He was whispering words I didn’t know and moving his hands all over my body. He almost sounded like he was chanting. Strange feelings were washing over me and lighting me on fire. Little sparks were shooting through the air as Alyx murmured old in my ear.
“I’m removing the spell I put on you years ago. The one that made you think you were human. Don’t fight it, love. It’s making you whole again.”
The truth hit me hard as I realized I wasn’t just having visions as he told his story and it wasn’t just a damn love story Alyx had been telling me. It was reality.
Somehow, I knew it and my world crystalized in that moment and then shattered around me.
