Lake

My eyes were wide as I stammered, but before I could find my words, his lips crashed into mine, stealing the breath from my lungs.

The sensation silenced everything, the pounding music, the crowd behind us, and the racing thoughts in my head. The wall hit my back with a cold jolt, but it did not matter. His warmth consumed me, his hands pressing against my sides with a desire that mirrored mine. My fingers instinctively gripped his shoulders, pulling him closer as if letting go would send me plummeting.

The kiss deepened, each movement more urgent than the last as if we were making up for all the moments that hadn’t been ours. His lips were firm but soft, his touch desperate, and when his teeth brushed against my lower lip, a shiver ran through me, leaving me completely undone.

I gasped for air when he finally pulled back, though it felt like I’d lost more than my breath. His forehead pressed against mine, and in the dim glow of the club lights spilling through the doorway, his eyes returned to mine, filled with something I could not name but craved all the same.

Without saying anything, his hand slid down to meet mine, his fingers lacing through it in a way that felt both natural and electric. He gently tugged, and I followed without hesitation.

We moved away from the club as if the world around us did not exist. The next sound I heard was the door slamming shut behind me, and before I could figure out where we were, the stranger's lips touched mine again, and I shuddered as sparks of electricity ran through my body.

It was as if my senses were heightened, and I felt each sensation more intensely than before. My arms took on a life of their own, wrapping around his waist and drawing him in as I deepened the kiss. A stack of textbooks on the nightstand fell to the floor, and I let out a desperate grunt as my back hit the cold tiles.

The room remained dark, except for a sliver of light that filtered through the improperly closed curtain. My heart pounded as if it would burst as I pressed his body against mine, the heat of his skin igniting a fire within me. His hands left my hair and roamed my body, looking for every inch of flesh they could find, and before I knew it, I was struggling with his zipper.

I shuddered at the sensation of his bulge, and a groan escaped his lips, allowing me to break the kiss. Without warning, I turned us around so he was leaning against the wall, and his breath caught in his throat as I slipped my hand inside his jeans and reached for his cock.

Again, his tongue dominated mine in an instant as his hands fumbled with the hem of my shirt. I quickly undid his jeans and pulled them down before dropping to my knees and stroking him up and down until a groan vibrated across his chest.

“Fuck, I’m so fucking hard,” he growled as I wrapped my hand around his tip and slid it up and down in a twisting motion while feeling myself drip as my own cock throbbed with a dizzying intensity. “Fuck!” Another grunt ripped through his chest, and I slowly drew circles on his tip with my tongue.

I heard him gasp as my lips wrapped around his length, and the room soon filled with his groans, causing me to move with renewed vigor as I finished what I started. His hand found the back of my head, his fingers weaving into my hair as he began thrusting while groaning louder, and my heart swelled with pride as I realized I was making him do that.

I sucked him deeper, reveling in the sensation of power as I drove him insane, forcing him to crumble at my command. But the feeling of power was fleeting as he fisted my hair and accelerated the pace, each thrust harder than the previous. I tried but could not keep up, and I gagged, tears welling up in my eyes, as my hands slid to his thighs and gripped them tightly as the predator became prey.

Drool coated my chest as the hot stranger mercilessly fucked my mouth, causing tears to roll down my cheeks. My fingers sank into his flesh as I gave in to his mercy, my grunts echoing off the walls, and just when I thought he could go on indefinitely, his muscles contracted, and he pulled out and emptied himself.

I fell to my hands, coughing as I took a much-needed breath, but before my lips could close, I was back against the wall, hands pinned above my head.

His hand slipped inside my boxers, his lips pressed against my neck, and my knees buckled as he began stroking my cock. He started slowly, and his left hand snaked under my shirt, causing me to arch my back as the familiar fire covered my back in goosebumps.

“My turn,” he whispered against my ear before taking my earlobe in his mouth while pinching my nipple, and another loud grunt vibrated through my chest, my vision becoming hazy.

“You like that?”

"Yes," I breathed out, a horny mess, as he stroked my cock faster in a twisting motion. My fingers gripped the wall as he continued his assault, his lips finding my neck again, and my breath came in ragged breaths as he sent me to the brink of insanity. It was not long before my body contracted, but just as I was about to release, he whispered in my ear, telling me not to.

I opened my mouth to say I couldn't hold back, but as he pulled down my jeans, the words died in my throat, leaving only a loud cry as he bent me over, spat in my hole, and entered me.

My legs buckled as my body jerked in response to the foreign invasion, and he wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me still. My eyes welled up with tears, and I gripped the headboard tightly as his hand slid to my upper back, causing me to bend over further. Loud grunts echoed off the walls as my hole stretched to his girth.

“Fuck!” He growled as his hands returned to my waist, holding me still while I bit my lower lip, bracing myself for the burning pain as he thrust deeper with each stroke. His left hand moved up to my chest, causing me to come up, while the right slipped between my thighs. He began stroking me while still thrusting harder, and I threw my head back in ecstasy, surrendering to him once more.

Hours Later

My eyes fluttered open, and I turned to my side, realizing I had fallen asleep. I groaned, stretching as I sat upright, but winced as my backside whispered Not so fast.

Looking around the room, I realized I was alone. Was he gone? It was still dark, and I glanced at the clock on the bedside table to see that it was a little after 1 a.m. “Did he just get up and leave me in his room?” I muttered, unable to help but feel a pang in my chest.

I knew we weren't dating or anything, but this was his room. I got off the bed and headed to the bathroom to clean myself and get dressed. But my eyes widened as the room flooded with light.

I knew he had to be rich to be here, but I still wasn't expecting this. The room looked nothing like any of our rooms. It was filled with the latest tech. "Are those diamonds?" I whispered, walking over to the diamond-encrusted chaise lounge before looking at the giant TV that covered the entire wall and the state-of-the-art sound system. I also noticed that the room had a smart home system that controlled everything from the lighting to the temperature.

"Wow," I muttered, looking at what looked like original paintings by Picasso and Van Gogh. But I frowned, noticing the button next to them and wondering what it was for.

I pressed it, and my lips parted again as the wall shifted to reveal a door. I opened it and gasped, walking into a private movie theater and a gaming room with the latest consoles.

"Who is this guy?" I muttered, suddenly feeling a sense of unease. Just then, my phone rang, startling me, and I rushed out of the room. I pressed the button again, and everything returned to how it was.

I quickly headed to the sofa, where my clothes were now folded. Picking up the phone, it was Lux. She was probably back in our room and wondering where I was. So I quickly finished getting dressed and headed out when I was done. I took the elevator to my room, punched in the code, and entered, expecting to find Lux inside, but she wasn't there.

I called her, but her phone rang unanswered, which was confusing since she had called me just a few minutes ago. I felt dirty in my clothes, so I quickly changed them and headed out when I was done.

The party was pumping as I crossed the street to the club, even though it was now morning. My eyes scanned the place as I entered, looking for Lux, and I quickly spotted her dancing with some guy. But I caught a familiar blonde head out of the corner of my eye, and my eyes widened as I saw Kairos making out with a girl.

What the hell? Just then, he pulled away from the kiss and looked up to meet my gaze, and my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach as he looked at me as if he had never seen me before.

What the fuck?

"Hey you," Lux said from behind, and I turned around to see her with the guy she had been dancing with and another. "Are you okay?" she asked, taking in my expression, and I nodded, still trying to process what I had just witnessed. “Guys, this is my friend, Lake Lockwood,” she said, and the guys said something, but I didn't even hear them as I started to go numb.

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Epilogue

    A YEAR LATERLake's POV Reaching the borders of Kairos’s kingdom, my stomach was a swarm of nerves as I gazed upon the gates of my mate’s home for the first time.To say I was nervous would’ve been a laughable understatement, because I was practically vibrating. This was Darian and Mira’s wedding, and not just any wedding, but a royal event of the decade, and the first thing I noticed was the sheer beauty of it all.Even from the outskirts, the kingdom was breathtaking. Ornate sea silk banners in gold and aquamarine flowed with the currents, tied to coral pillars that stretched up like towers.Strings of glowing pearl lanterns weaved through sea fans and swayed gently in the water, illuminating the path ahead. Schools of tiny bioluminescent fish darted through the decorations like living confetti, casting fleeting shadows across our skin.The gates were carved from pale, ivory coral and inlaid with sunstone and lapis, which glittered in the soft underwater light.Guarding them stood

  • Coming Out of the Deep    Chapter 168: The Lost City

    Lake's POV When we arrived at Kairos’s place, construction filled the air... drills, hammers, and voices calling over the noise. For a moment, I just stood there, taking it all in.The back half of the house, the part torn apart by the sea’s surge, was still a mess. But it wasn’t just rubble anymore. There were signs of rebuilding... scaffolding, fresh timber, and workers moving with purpose.Since we weren't running away this time, Kairos and I properly took in the damage for the first time.A man in a navy hat and dusty boots came over, wiping sweat from his brow. He introduced himself, and Kairos and I introduced ourselves back to him. He was the foreman on-site, letting us know they’d already started laying the new foundation. “The place’ll be back to itself in no time.”Kairos thanked him, and I stepped forward. “We want the pool to stay the same,” I said. “No changes, and that matters to us.”I loved that pool. It was the coolest thing, and we made memories there. The foreman g

    Lux's POVLooking at myself in the mirror one last time, I smoothed down the short, emerald green cocktail dress I’d picked out for the evening. It hugged my body just right… cute, playful, and a little daring.Paired with red heels, I worried for a second that I might be overdressed, but it was Reed who had made the dinner plans and sent a car for me, indicating that we were going to a high-end place, so I couldn’t risk feeling underdressed. Mom and Dad always said it was better to overdress than underdress.I rechecked the time, grabbed my clutch, and was about to leave the room when I heard the door creak open. Stepping out of the room, I squealed at the sight that greeted me.“Oh my God!” Lake and Kairos stood there, and before either of them could speak, I was running across the room. Lake met me halfway, and I threw myself into his arms, laughing through the sudden rush of joy that bubbled up in my chest.“You didn’t even say you were coming back." I was beyond happy. “Are you g

    Kairos's POV We headed to the zoo, and I was excited, especially at the thought of finally seeing an elephant. Lake told me he never forgot things, like when we met.We drove through the quieter side of the city, my father taking in the sights and Lake pointing them out to us. My mate enjoyed showing us around, and I couldn't wait to show him around in the deep one day soon, too.Reed had never seen my home, only pictures he had me take for him because he couldn’t swim that far. I hoped it would be different for my mate, since his abilities weren’t given to him like Reed’s, but by the gods themselves.We reached the zoo's gates, and from the outside, it looked like a giant garden, with banners fluttering and families milling about with ice cream and maps. But it wasn’t until we stepped inside that I felt like I had landed in another world.Lake explained again that it was where surface creatures lived, creatures I’d never encountered beneath the waves. But even knowing that didn’t pr

    Kairos's POVLake and I cleaned up after breakfast, deciding to help Lake’s mom before heading out to meet with my father.He arrived early in the morning, choosing to stay at a hotel instead of accepting Lake’s parents' invitation, and that alone gave me knots in my stomach.When we finished, we headed up and got ready. Lake’s parents were waiting downstairs as we descended the stairs and wished us luck.Sliding into the car, the drive to the hotel was initially quiet before Lake tapped his fingers against the steering wheel, humming softly to the radio.He smiled when our eyes met and told me we had done enough worrying when we woke up. We had. We’d had such a beautiful day yesterday that we managed to push away the thoughts of my father, but this morning they came crashing back.We learned he wasn’t alone. Reed’s father had arrived with him, which didn’t surprise either of us since my father knew little about this world; having someone like him around made things smoother.As we ne

Sitting around and worrying wasn’t going to help.I was terrified of the mer king after he tried to kill me, but my love for Kairos was worth taking a chance on, so I did it.It was the reason I hadn't gotten into detail with my parents about how he tried to kill me; I had just said he got angry and tried to drag Kairos to the deep with him.My parents would never forgive him if they knew he tried to kill me, and it wouldn’t matter what reasons he had. So I made sure Kairos would never mention th
