Loving Death

Chapter 31

📛Warning : Sexual Content 📛

Startled, I lost control of my body and flailed around the waters, swallowing a good amount of water. Death immediately raised me up by my arms like a ragdoll and brought me to his chest, patting my back to get rid of the coughs.

As my coughs subsided, I leaned back a bit to see Death trying to contain his laugh but failing quite miserably.

"Jerk! What the hell was that for?" I shouted as I pounded my fist on his hard chest.

"What? I thought lovers appreciated a good surprise from time to time" he justified and if I wasn't so caught up in anger, I might have 'awwd' at the mention of lovers. But I should have known Death's definition of a 'good surprise' would be far from normal.

"Yeah! But not a heart attack Salvo! Gods, I swallowed a good amount of that water" I said as I glared at him. Seeing that I wasn't finding the situation funny like he did, his smirk vanished and a worried frown replaced his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you" he apologized. "Did you really swallow the water?" He asked worriedly and I nodded irritated.

"Shit"

"What?"

"Nothing" he said as he dodged my question. "I'm sorry sweetcheeks, I'll try not to scare you again" he said instead as he tightened his grip and kissed my bare shoulder.

Only when he did this that I realised he wasn't wearing his usual attire, his muscled chest in full display and due to our height difference, that arm that tightened its grip on me was pulling me up from under my butt!

It wasn't helping that my chest were in almost in full display and our bodies were touching in such an intimate level.

Death's smirk widened as his golden eyes shone a variety of emotions. Love, Lust and mostly mischief.

He was so handsome and excruciatingly sexy that I felt my cheeks heat up. I could feel the waters rising in temperature when Death's other arm came up and cupped my cheek.

"Relax Evie, you're turning the river into a jacuzzi" he joked as he stroked my cheek slowly, his thumb sliding down the bridge of my nose all the while his eyes peering down on my lips.

I looked over to see faint steam come from the waters around us and my body starting to glow again.

Damn link between emotions and powers.

"Salvo" I said and with one mention of his name, his eyes directed to mine in an instant. And this time, I was sure it's lust consuming the both of us right now.

"I told you to reserve that when we're alone... are we on the same drift?" He asked, his voice huskier than normal and it was doing things to my body. I caught glimpse of his darker, dilated eyes and I'm guessing he's affected as much as I was.

I forgot what I was mad about when his arms roamed down my body, caressing every curve and crevice. Every where he touched ignited something more in me. He hooked his thumb on one of the straps near my ribs and slid his hand, his knuckles making contact with my bare skin, so close to my chest.

I shivered in pleasure as we stared at each other, no one daring to look away. If he could touch, I figured I also could. Letting my hand cup his angular jaw and feel the roughness of his beard on my palm, I let my hands wander to his neck, to his broad shoulders and trace his chest and abs. I could feel him tense as my hands wandered lower until I stopped near his v-line.

"You're treading on dangerous waters Evie" he growled.

"Pun intended?" I added jokingly as his lips crashed onto mine.
