A Wave Of Desire

Makai

~~

I was still panting from what we had just done. I let my body collapse onto the bed next to Ocean, though I rolled to the side so that none of the mess that had exploded between us got onto the sheets.

Ocean was panting nearly as much as I was, and his body was shaking just slightly. I had to wonder if that was from pain and remorse or from the exhilarating and amazing experience we had just had together.

After a few minutes of silence, I was the first one to speak. It was after both of us had our breathing calmed down, and Ocean had stopped shaking.

"A..are you OK?" I needed to know. I needed to know that he wasn't hurt. I would hate myself if I had made him hate me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." His voice was calm and steady, no hint of nerves or fear. "I'm just a little sticky now." He laughed, and I looked down at him. He was right; I had made him come in between us, and we were both sticky.

"Sorry about that." I blush at the memory of the moment he had exploded between us; it was right before I exploded as well.

"I just need to take a shower, that's all." I saw him start to get up and then hesitate. "Scratch that, I think the shower needs to wait a few minutes." He groaned a little and settled back down onto the bed.

"Are you sore? I'm sorry Ocean, I didn't want to hurt you."

"It's not like I tried to stop you." He chuckled just a little. "In fact, I remember telling you not to stop."

I had to grin as well as blush again at his words. He had literally begged me not to stop. That had been the best part of it all. Who wouldn't be happy if their lover begged them like that?

"Yeah, I remember it going that way too." The pleasure overtook me for a minute, but then I remembered the pain that he was in. "But still, you're hurt and that is because of me."

"Shut up." He snapped at me. "I'm not in pain, just a little sore."

"What's the difference?" I laughed at him.

"Just shut up." He yelled at me again.

"I knew we should have waited." I went to get back up off the bed. I wanted to do something for him, but I didn't really know what that could be.

"Hey." He grabbed my arm at the elbow and stopped me from getting off the bed. "You need to stop fucking apologizing right now. I'm going to start thinking that you hated it. I don't know about you, but I happened to have enjoyed every minute of it." 

"I didn't hate it. It was amazing, Ocean, it really was. It was so good I got carried away. I went too far and I-." He cut me off then by pulling me toward him and pressing his lips to mine for just a moment. When he pulled away, he smirked at me and spoke in a seductive voice.

"Good, now just shut up, you idiot."

This time when he went to get up, he managed it. He looked like it hurt him to walk just a little bit; why did that satisfy me just a little bit as well? I knew he was in pain, but I was so fucking satisfied by what we had done. Dammit, it's hard being so conflicted.

"Hey, where are your towels at?" He was just about to walk into the bathroom that was connected to my room.

"I'll show you." I jumped to my feet and ran after him into the bathroom.

"Holy shit!" I heard Ocean's awed voice when he looked around the bathroom. "This room is fucking huge." Ocean was staring around with his mouth hanging open.

"Yeah, it's pretty big. My bathroom back in Florida was bigger though."

"OK, now I hate you."

"What? I was just commenting." It was true, so I didn't know why it was so bad.

"You could fit my entire bedroom in your bathroom, and you're saying it's smaller than the last one." He rolled his eyes at me as he walked across the room.

"Hey, I didn't pick my life."

"Yeah, yeah." He just laughed at me. "Now the question I have is how do you use this fucking shower. It looks complicated as hell."

The shower in question was a rain shower with built in hydromassage jets. The controls were not conventional at all and even took me a long time to get used to them.

"Come on, I'll get it started for you. Take your time, but do remember that I need a shower too." I got the water falling from the top of the shower. "Do you want the water to fall fast or slow?"

"Uhm, s..slow I guess, I don't know how it will feel yet." He looked nervous about the shower, but was fine after we had sex? That was weird. "And, uh uhm, w..well y..you can, uhm, you can shower w..with me if you w..w..want to." He blushed crimson when he said that, but he wasn't looking away. He meant what he was saying, but it had been hard for him to say that.

"Well, if you're inviting me, I won't say no. I am sticky as well, and it would be a little more of a pain if we both didn't get cleaned up right away."

I stepped into the shower and held the door open for him. He took a deep breath and followed me in. After everything that we had done so far today, this was what was making him nervous. That was so adorably cute of him.

We started by washing separately. The shower was more than big enough for the two of us. Soon though, we were being pulled toward each other. It wasn't something that I think either of us was doing on purpose, but after less than two minutes our elbows were touching, and by five minutes one of us was brushing the other almost constantly as we scrubbed our bodies.

I couldn't keep my eyes off of him as he rinsed himself under the water, and I felt the same heated stare in his eyes when I was rinsing myself. His eyes on me felt like the caress of a hand. If he kept that up, then I would need to turn the water to cold. It was getting too hot in here right now.

"M..Makai?" He called my name as I stepped out of the water that was falling on me.

"Ye-?" I couldn't finish my sentence when I looked at him.

He had grabbed my waist and pushed me against the shower wall. The kiss he was giving me was full of need and hunger; it was like he hadn't just been sated a little while ago.

"Why can't I stop wanting you?" He growled the words into my face as he pressed our heads together.

"I don't know, but it's the same way for me." It was true. I had been wanting him for weeks now, ever since I saw him. It had been getting stronger and stronger over the last several days, and then last night at his house I nearly did something that I shouldn't have. Well, I nearly did what I did this afternoon. The pull for him was just that strong.

He kissed me again, and when he pulled away, I saw something on his face that I had never seen on him before. Besides the foggy, need filled eyes there were a few flecks of white on his cheeks. They were a pearl color and glistened slightly in the light that was coming from above us. 

When he leaned to the side and started to kiss down my neck to my chest, I saw more of the shining flecks on his shoulders and back. There were some on his arms, and when I looked down, I saw them on his legs as well.

Well, that told me that I had been partially right about him at least. He wasn't human, but he wasn't the same as I was. If he were, then the scales would have been metallic and not pearl.

"Wait." I put my hands on his shoulders and pushed him away. I also used my hand to turn off the water so that it stopped falling on the both of us. "Wait, Ocean."

"You don't want to?" He looked at me with confusion in his eyes.

"That's not it. I do, I really do. But I don't want to do too much too soon. I don't want to hurt you at all."

"But I told you I'm-."

"I know." I cut him off. "Still, another go so soon might hurt you, trust me."

His eyes darkened then, and he pulled back from me.

"Yeah, that's right, I forgot that you were so much more experienced than me. If you know what you're talking about then I won't push it." He turned around and stormed out of the shower.

We had gotten in hurriedly, and I didn't actually get the towels so I had to rush to get them now. I wanted Ocean to dry off in a hurry. I didn't want him to have his first change here. That should be somewhere his parents could explain to him how to change back and how to control it. It was something that all of us creatures of the sea needed to learn when we turned eighteen.

There was one other thing that was making me smile though. The mark on his shoulder that had just changed colors after last night had changed once again. Now, instead of being just the shimmering blue it was outlined in the green of mine and right in the middle of the trident symbol was a green M. I hurriedly looked down at my mark and saw that it was lined in the blue of his and there was a blue O in the middle. We were connected. The magic that dwelled within us both was already connecting us.
