Chapter 6 - Delilah #4
Something smooth ran along my exposed palm, sliding through my hand.
I opened one eye, glancing down to see the shark slithering along my hand.
Its tail whacked my arm, splashing my face with water, causing me to laugh.
It didn’t attack me. It didn’t attack me!
My hand remained there, bobbing in the water as the shark returned, running along it a second time.
“Wait.” I watched the fish swim. “Reef?”
The shark nudged me again roughly, knocking me down into the water. I stared at it, reaching my arm out as my fingers ran along his body, noticing the black designs inked along its dark skin. I knew those markings. It was him. Reef.
I shot to the surface, inhaling when Reef softly gripped my torso with his jaws, forcefully pulling me down into the water.
I watched, admiring his resilience as his teeth lined up perfectly with the shark bite along my stomach, gently holding me in his mouth.
It was him all along. Reef. He was the shark that bit me, the one that marked me, claiming me as his.
Reef picked up speed, carrying me further into the ocean as I released all control and remained in his mouth, my hands and feet curling towards his head, holding on tight.
He swam towards an empty portion of the water, illuminated by the last few rays of the fading sun, before slowly rising towards the surface, gently breaking through so I might breathe.
I inhaled, panting lightly before tapping his nose.
As I breathed in one last time, Reef pulled me back into the sea, releasing me from his mouth.
My arms swung, allowing my body to float in the water while he continued to swim around me.
I watched him, showing off, smiling as bubbles drifted from my mouth. Even as a shark, he was beautiful.
My hair glowed in the sunlight, warming my body as I slowly sank in the cool water.
Random fish swam by, their scales reflecting the golden beams, resembling burning stars in the night.
I reached out, tapping them gently with my fingertips, giggling as they scuttled from my touch.
The Blacktip sharks from earlier slowly began to join me, circling my body like Reef.
My lungs began to ache, begging for air, but I was too far from the surface.
My face dropped, staring up as the sun began to fully die into the night, clawing at the water, desperately trying to break through.
My heart ached, racing as I kicked and screamed his name in the water.
Reef rushed to me, swimming swiftly, helping me to the surface.
I coughed and gagged, the salty air filling my chest. I breathed in, gasping as my body fell forward, landing on Reef’s back, draped across him as he glided gently along the waves, allowing me a moment to rest. My face fell forward, my fingers curling around his top fin for support as I breathed against his smooth skin.
“You’re beautiful, Reef,” I whispered between heavy pants.
I kissed his skin, laying my head down as he slowly began to swim back to the cove. “Beautiful.”
Reef slowed, allowing me to slide from his back into the shallower parts of the cove.
I waded back, watching as he turned and swam away, disappearing in the darkness.
I tried to speak, but I was still focused on calming my breathing.
I stepped back, walking towards the sandy beach, falling to my knees and rolling onto my back.
The sky had fully turned to night, stars filling its blackness, sparkling like the reflective scales of the fish in the sea.
Reef is a shark. I repeated the statement over and over in my head, baffled and blown away by the truth.
The sound of water splashing carried on just a few feet away, alerting me to his presence.
He stepped from the ocean, drenched in sea water, watching me as he breathed.
I flashed him a sweet smile, my eyes on his body as he approached me, admiring his glorious physique.
I could feel the desire in the air, thickening as he fell to his knees and crawled over me, sea water dripping onto my body.
My legs instinctively cradled him, wrapping around his waist as his arms pinned mine down into the sand.
“You,” he breathed, staring into my eyes, “are beautiful.” My eyes began to water.
The way he was looking at me, his heart racing alongside mine—it was something I had never experienced before, something I never wanted to lose.
“I knew the moment I bit you, claimed you as mine, that there was something special about you, Delilah.” He swallowed.
“And all I want to do right now is feel your body on mine, listen as you cry out, bite you until you bleed into my mouth and feed my desires. I crave you.”
I pressed my forehead into his. “Then do it,” I whispered. “Bite me. I dare you.”
Reef’s head rose as mine rested back against the sand.
He grinned, his jaw tightening while his fingers intertwined with mine.
He leaned forward, kissing me feverishly, our soft moans blending together.
His mouth descended from mine, kissing my skin, trailing to my neck.
He opened his jaw, biting into my skin. My body arched, gasping by the delightful pain, leaning further into his teeth.
He pressed harder, pulling back before continuing to kiss me.
His lips trailed to the exposed skin above my chest widening his mouth as he bit me again, this time harder.
His teeth pierced my flesh, my veins bursting beneath the surface as a few small beads of blood formed, falling into his mouth.
He licked the bitemark, his tongue swirling along my body until it reached the healing wound on my side. His mark.
Reef ran his tongue along the many puncture wounds from his teeth, caressing them sensually.
My arms flexed, fighting his strength as he pinned me down into the sand.
I wanted to lunge at him and feel every inch of his body, worship him endlessly.
“Not tonight,” he spoke against my stomach, dragging my hands to my side, still firmly clasped in his.
“What?” I asked, lifting my head, confused.
“Tonight.” He glared up at me, staring as he kissed my lower abdomen, smiling.
“I’m focusing on you.” He released my hands, removing my shorts and lingerie, gripping my thighs as his nails lightly dig into my skin.
Reef nestled his face between my legs, kissing my inner thigh, running his tongue along my skin.
I grabbed at the sand, squeezing it between my fingers, relishing in the way he made me feel.
He opened his mouth, biting my inner thigh as I jumped and released a soft whimper.
He laughed, his hot breath dancing along my center, wasting no time as he flicked my clit, circling it with just the right amount of force.
He raised my legs, dropping them over his shoulders and grabbing my waist as he yanked me closer to him.
Reef’s tongue flicked my center, licking at my ever-growing wetness. My moans were uncontrollable, filling my lungs. “That’s right,” he moaned, slithering inside me with an immediate force. “Be a good girl and drown me in your bliss.” He pushed deeper, quickening his pace.
“Oh fuck. No,” I whined, unable to resist my climax, my thighs tightening around his neck, squeezing, as it washed over me, forcing me to come hard.
“No!” I cried out, jolting, my body clenched around his tongue, contracting as I soaked his face.
He continued, eagerly consuming me while I moaned, flinching with each swipe of his tongue, my heart rupturing with ecstasy.
“Don’t stop,” I cried out selfishly, wanting more.
“Please, Reef. Don’t stop.” My fingers tugged at his hair, pulling him closer.
Reef grunted, speaking between his thrusting tongue. “I’m going to devour every last drop of you.”
Yes.
