Drawn from Water

Chapter 28

Moselle

Everything around me fades away. The waves crashing behind us, the swaying of the trees. His kiss overwhelms every one of my senses, and all I can feel is him.

He groans, his palm tightening on the back of my neck while his other hand slides down my side and he wraps around my waist, pulling me closer to him. He breaks the kiss and begins kissing my jawline, his lips moving lower. I tilt my head for him to give him better access, my body moving on autopilot to his touch. His lips on my skin sets my body on fire. I have no control over myself as I moan to his touch.

"Mm, do you like the way this feels mi amor?" His voice against my neck sends a vibration through my entire body, then replaced with sheer pleasure as he bites the sensitive skin and then licks it. I let out another shaking moan as he continues to kiss and gently bite my neck, which I'm sure will leave marks.

He inhales a deep breath, and his eyes are on mine again. I let out a whimper from his lips leaving my skin. He gives me a satisfied smile and next thing I know he's pulling me down to the ground and into his lap, so I am straddling him, my knees sinking into the sand. He kisses my lips like a man starving. I feel brave and I tease his bottom lip with my tongue. Namor forces my mouth open, his tongue dancing with mine as they fight for dominance. My hands are in his hair, my fingers tangling and pulling against his dark thick hair. He groans when I suck on his bottom lip, his hips driving up into me so I can feel what I'm doing to him.

"Namor." I moan his name as he breaks the kiss again ghosting his lips down my neck and across my collarbone. I can feel his grip on my hips tighten. He brings his face back up to meet my eyes and from the sky setting above us makes the yellow flecks in his brown eyes look gold in the reflecting reds and oranges. He's so handsome. I bring my hands and gently place my palms on the sides of his face and lean into him trying to catch my breath. He wraps his arms around me holding me in place as we just stare at each other. His fingers tracing over the raised scar on my back, bringing me back to reality. I shake my head lightly and begin to make my way off his lap, but Namor doesn't let his hold on me loosen.

"We shouldn't be doing this." I whisper. Everything in me is screaming at me to stay here with him at this moment. But my head won't comply.

"Why not?" He says just as breathless as me. His fingers are still tracing my scar and i close my eyes to his touch. It doesn't hurt, if anything its soothing. Its just the reminder of what caused it in the first place.

I bring my hands down from his face and trace down to his shoulders, then down his chest. "I think you know why." I say almost sadly as i look him in the eyes.

"Moselle-" he begins but shouts from the tree line cuts him off. We both look up to see Attuma waving at us as he makes his way in our direction. His blue skin looks darker as the sun sets. I scooted off Namors lap despite his hold to keep me in my place when Attuma closes the distance.

He looks between the two of us and must know he interrupted something because he begins to shift uncomfortably as Namor glares at him. He quickly announces that his presence is needed by the council to discuss something about preparations. Namor huffs out a breath and begins to tell Attuma that he will see to it in the morning, but I can't be alone with him right now. Not after the moment we almost had. That my body wishes we were continuing.

"Namor you should go. It sounds urgent." I insist.

He turns his attention to me and something flashes in his eyes. Hurt?

"Whatever they have to say can wait." He says. "I need to escort you-"

"No need. I can find my own way to the cave by myself." I say so quickly. I am making this more awkward than this needs to be. I begin to make my way to the tree line when Namor calls after me. I turned around to see he was following close behind me. His chest almost flush to mine as his golden-brown eyes looked deep into mine. He opens his mouth to say something, but my eyes must have given me away that we can't discuss what just happened. Not with Attuma here.
