CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

NOLAN POV

Why fight it anymore? That was the only thing I could think about. I had tried to be mean to Gwen. I had tried to stay away. But being an asshole just made me feel worse. It made me angry and tired.

We were stuck here together. There was no point in making it hard for myself. Why should I suffer? We were in a small world far away from real life. Nobody else would ever know what happened here. Once we left, everything would go back to normal. I would never see her again. So, I decided to stop fighting. I wanted to enjoy her while I could.

I saw that she was a little nervous. I didn't want to force her. I let her make the choice. If she wanted me to stop, I would. But she didn't want me to stop. She wanted me just as much as I wanted her.

After we finished the first intimacy and were both panting hard, Gwen leaned against me. She felt heavy and relaxed in my arms. The water was hot, but the air was cold. I held her close. I didn't want to move. I liked the feeling of her body against mine.

"You okay?" I whispered in her ear.

"Mmm," she breathed. "I can't even move my legs."

I laughed softly. "That’s a good sign. We don't have anywhere to be, Gwen. We can stay just like this."

I reached out and touched her. I watched her skin react to the cold air. She let out a soft moan when I teased her. Every time I touched her, she seemed to come back to life. It didn't take much to get me ready again, either. With her, I was always hungry for more.

"You're shivering," I said. "Are you getting cold? We can go inside."

She lifted her head and looked at me. Her eyes were dark and full of want. She moved her body against mine in a way that made me growl.

"No," she said. "I'm not cold. I just like the way you touch me."

"You're learning fast," I told her. I liked how honest she was. "You like it when I take control, don't you?"

"Yes," she whispered, her face turning red. "I've never... Nobody has ever talked to me like you do."

"Well, get used to it," I said. "Because I'm not done with you yet."

I decided to change things up. I wanted to see her from a different angle.

"You need to fuck me, baby," I said. I guided her off my lap. She made a small, sad sound when we lost contact. I liked that she missed me already. "Turn around. Put your hands on the edge of the tub."

She did exactly what I said. The cold air hit my skin as I stood up behind her, but I didn't care. I looked down at her. She looked beautiful in the steam.

"Hold on tight," I warned.

I pushed into her fast and hard. She gasped and arched her back. She rested her arms on the side of the tub and looked back at me.

"Do you like that?" I asked. I hit her deep again while I fucked her harder. "You like it when I'm rough?"

"I like everything you do," she moaned. "Please, don't stop."

The water splashed around us. Every time I moved, the bubbles hissed. Gwen was making small, sweet noises. It was driving me crazy. I knew she was getting close to the edge.

"Are you going to come for me, Gwen? Tell me." I knew she liked it when I talked dirty.

"Yes," she cried out. "Yes, Alpha daddy!"

"That's it," I growled. I gripped her hips hard. "Tell me what you want. Tell me right now."

"Fuck me! Alpha daddy, please! Come inside me!"

Her body trembled at my gentle touch, even as she resumed slowly riding me.

Goodness, I wanted to suck those tits... those hard nipples.

That was it. I couldn't hold back anymore. I moved as fast as I could. My whole body felt like it was on fire. I let out a loud shout that echoed in the yard. I didn't care if the neighbors heard. Nothing mattered except this feeling.

Gwen was shaking. I could feel her muscles squeezing me. It was the best feeling in the world. I collapsed against her back, breathing hard. My heart was pounding like I had run a long race.

After a few minutes, I sat back down in the water. I pulled her onto my lap so she stayed warm. We sat there in silence for a moment, just listening to our breathing.

"Is it always like this?" Gwen asked quietly.

My heart stopped for a second. I looked at her. I wondered if she was catching feelings. "What do you mean?"

"I mean... is it always this intense?" she asked. She looked a little confused. "It feels like an explosion. I've never felt anything like that before."

 I couldn't help but smile. Every man likes to hear that he did a good job.

"Not always," I told her. "It’s special because of the chemistry we have. We really want each other. Plus, we are in a secret place. That makes it feel more exciting."

She looked into my eyes. "Is it the same for you? Or am I just... new at this?"

I pulled her closer and kissed her forehead. "Gwen, I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't amazing for me too. You drive me crazy."

She smiled then. It was a big, happy smile. She might not have much experience, but she was exactly what I needed right now.
