Coming Out of the Deep
He straddled me, his hips swirling in slow, maddening circles. His body was right there, pressing into mine, and I couldn’t escape it; I didn’t want to. His hands found mine and guided them to his chest, and when my palms touched his warm skin, I was gone.
My pulse was a blur of frantic beats pounding in my ears, drowning out the crowd's cheers and whistles. With his face inches from mine, Alec leaned in. His breath ghosted over my lips, his smile, cocky, knowing, playful, and somehow tender all at once.
“You okay there?” he asked with an amused tone, and I opened my mouth, desperate to say something—anything—but nothing came out. My throat was dry, my skin was on fire and my mind was completely blank.
All I could do was stare at him, completely mesmerized by how his body moved against mine and that wicked smirk on his lips. Before I knew it, heat pooled low in my belly, spreading downward, and I instinctively clenched my thighs together to stop the throbbing that ignited between my legs, but it was too late as I dampened the soft leather.

Chapter: Chapter 22: Vanished Lux’s POVI didn't have to say it twice before Alec closed the gap between us, and fire erupted as our lips collided in a fierce kiss. He lifted me off the floor, and I let out a moan as we fell onto the sofa.Our bodies molded in raw longing, and his hands reached for my back and undid my shirt before tossing it aside. My back arched on its own as his hands moved to my breasts, his thumbs drawing circles around my already erect nipples, and my hands gripped his arms as his lips continued their sweet torture, moving from my neck to my jawline and then back to my lips.The kiss was tender, intense, sweet, and fiery all at once, and our breaths became heavy as I pressed my hips against him. Before I knew it, my hands were fumbling with his belt, the heat between my legs intensifying. His hands slid to mine and assisted me in undoing it before sliding down and gripping my hips as he began kissing my stomach and going down my chest.My moans grew louder, my pussy clenching at the contrast

Chapter: Chapter 21: LostLake’s POVI blinked, disoriented, with my head throbbing and my eyes struggling to focus. Everything felt like a blur until it wasn't, and then I noticed Kairos standing there, looking at me as if he knew what was happening. My lips twitched to ask him what had happened and why I was in the room, but before I could, the memories flooded back: the dance, the kiss, the heat of the moment, and my panic as I stumbled away from the crowd after locking eyes with Kairos. My heart raced as I remembered, and then the rest of what had happened came rushing back, sending my heart lurching into my throat as the terrifying image of Kairos flashed through my mind. His eyes, his face, the way he had changed.My body moved on its own as I jumped to my feet as he stopped in front of me. “You… what… your eyes… your face…” With my heart thumping so loudly that I could hardly hear myself, I stammered, the words rushing out incoherently. Before he could respond, a voice in my head screamed at me to ge

Chapter: Chapter 20: More than Friendly Lux’s POVThe Dance Continued Inside Alec’s knees nudged against mine as he crouched down, getting so close that I could feel the warmth coming off him. My breath caught as he lifted his legs to straddle mine, his hands sliding down to grip my thighs firmly. With each roll of his hips, he held me captive as he pushed toward me with fluid movements. My skin burned everywhere he held me, and my arms prickled with goosebumps as my whole body trembled from his fiery touch. I clenched my fists, attempting to compose myself, but it was ineffective. I was completely at his mercy.Just when I thought I couldn’t handle it anymore, that the tension between us was about to overwhelm me, Alec pulled back. My heart stopped for a moment, then started racing as he ran his hands up and down his chest, pausing at his waistband before boldly grabbing himself. The man was blessed, and I couldn’t look anymore. My face felt on fire, and I squeezed my eyes shut."Look at me," he said, his voice cutting t

Chapter: Chapter 19: Superhuman Third Person’s POVReed and Darian dashed onto the balcony, coming to a halt abruptly as their gazes fell on Lake's twisted body lying against the wall. Their gaze shifted to Kairos, who stood motionless for a heartbeat before collapsing to the ground. The sight of Kairos' face, marred by dark, pulsating veins and feral golden eyes, shocked both men, and neither spoke, too stunned and horrified to process what had just happened.Reed recovered first, his instincts honed over years of training kicking in. "Darian, help me," he exclaimed, rushing to close the balcony door that separated them from the chaos of the party below. He flipped the lock with quick movements and turned back to Kairos, who was now in Darian's arms. Crouching down, they both examined his shallow breathing, and Darian's mind raced with anxiety as he looked up at Reed. "Which way to the car?" he asked urgently, but Reed had a different idea.“We can’t take him back to the dorms. It’s too far, and if someone sees h

Chapter: Chapter 18: The DemonThird Person's POV Three Minutes Earlier Kairos’s gaze burned into the scene unfolding before him, each second a fresh twist to his chest as the heat of jealousy surged through him, maddening and stifling. Every movement of Lake's hands on Olivia, her hips grinding against him, her face so close to his set Kairos' blood on fire, and merfolk blood rarely ran hot. He wanted to storm over there, yank Lake from her grip, and remind him who he belonged to. He wanted to shout it, tell everyone, and claim what was rightfully his with every ounce of power the ocean had given him. "Mine!" The word rang so loudly in his head that he could not figure out why no one else seemed to hear it, why Lake did not notice and see what he was doing to him. He had no right to let anyone else touch him like that, and no land maiden had the right to try. Merfolk didn’t sweat like humans did. Their cooler body temperature regulated such things, and only when dehydrated did they begin to show signs—a f

Chapter: Chapter 17: PossessivenessLux’s POVThe surrounding crowd was wild, a swirling storm of cheers and hollers, with enough energy to make you feel drunk without even touching a drink. They were losing it, shouting encouragement and hyping up the group, completely unaware of the storm brewing within me.I couldn't take my eyes off the scene in front of me. Olivia sat on Lake's lap, grinding her hips as if she were trying to set the room on fire. Her face was inches from his, their lips almost touching as his hands moved up and down her waist, guiding her movements as if they were perfectly in sync. They seemed to have forgotten there was an entire room full of people watching, and my lips parted, hanging open as I stared.I had never seen him so invested in a girl—so intense. And it wasn’t just the physicality—the way his hands moved or the way her body curled into his—but the focus—the way he seemed lost in her. I despised it, and a dark wave of possessiveness surged through me before I could control it. I want
