Infall Ch. 03

Indya cried out as he thrust.

"Come for me, Indya," he said, grunting hard.

She climaxed, spasming and straining, her voice high. The pleasure was good and long.

His fingers left her, grabbing her hips, hard thrusts. After a time, he cried out, a helpless sound, different, holding in her, moving. He came deeply in her, grunting. His whole body shuddered, Kythe getting over her, a last surge, and then was panting. "Fata," he said again, his forehead against her back. "I didn't believe it."

"What?" she said, also panting.

A knock came, loud. Indya jumped, straightening up in front of him, Kythe coming with her. He put his arms around her from behind, scenting her throat again, burying his face in her hair.

"Rí," a voice said outside. "It's time."

"Yes," Kythe called, still nuzzling her.

He slowly pulled out of her, standing and coming around, taking her hands and bringing her up. One of his large hands came behind her head, cupping it, also nothing he'd ever done before, pausing to look at her face, and then he bent, kissing her gently. He pulled back.

Indya was frowning, studying his face. He still had his cowl up, all of it strange. "Kythe? Something is bothering you--?"

"Rí," the person said outside the door.

He released her, his eyes lingering on her face, sweeping her body. "No, beauty. I will see you when I return."

"All right," she said.
