Lord displayed so
effortlessly. He was doing his best, but—
Something floundered beneath the water,
drawing Adam’s attention. The river Pishon was wide here. Adam had
seen few fish, certainly none so large. He peered through the
gently flowing water and tried to discern what was moving in the
depths. The sun had yet to rise, still the shape appeared pale,
almost…flesh-colored? How could that be?
He waded into the water, cautious yet
concerned. This creature didn’t belong in the water. God had
entrusted him with the care of all living things and this one was
obviously in trouble.
Diving toward the unknown shape, Adam
frantically searched, wishing there were more light. One of his
hands found smooth, slick flesh, the other tangled in long
flowing…hair! He pulled the body toward him and kicked forcefully
for the surface. The creature lay limply in his arms and panic
jolted Adam.
Am I too late? Did I hesitate too long on
the shore?
He laid the creature gently on the grassy
riverbank and brushed its long, black mane away from its face. It
made a soft moaning sound, assuring him it was still breathing.
Thank God! He hadn’t been too late.
So, what was this creature? He’d never seen
anything so… It was female, he corrected. Even in the hazy light
her full breasts and tightly drawn nipples revealed her gender. Her
limbs were long, shapely and…hairless. Despite her thick, black
tresses, which fanned out across the grass, the rest of the
female’s body was smooth.
An odd tension swirled
deep in Adam’s belly and his penis swelled. Fascinated, he watched
it thicken and lengthen. It hurt. His heart raced. This happened to
the stallion right before he mounted his mare. Covering himself
with his hand, he looked more closely at the woman. Was this his mate? The animals
all had companions. Had God created this female for him?
Her lips and eyelids were
tinted blue. The tops of her ears were rippled and also blue. Could
this be a trick of the twilight? The rest of her features were very
much like his. She had to be his mate. He wanted her to be his
mate.
But why had she been in the river?
The pressure in his loins increased and Adam
groaned. He closed his fingers around his sex and moved his hips,
gasping. It jerked against his palm. Hesitantly, he reached out and
covered one of her breasts while he continued to slide his fist
along his aching length. Her skin was so soft, her flesh so
different from his. Heat infused his shaft, searing the sensitive
head. He needed to put it inside her!
He needed to mate.
She moaned, shifting restlessly in the
grass. Her nipple hardened against his palm. He moved his hand and
examined the change his touch had wrought. Her soft, dusky nipple
had tightened into a puckered point. He touched the very tip and
she arched her back. Adam smiled. She enjoyed this touching. He
moved his fingers to her other nipple, gently pulling on it so he
could watch the transformation.
“Where am I?”
Husky and oddly accented, her words sent
shivers down his spine. He started to release her nipple, but she
caught his wrist and opened her eyes. Her eyes were so bright a
blue they glowed in the murky light. Adam could only stare.
“Who are you?” She released his wrist,
struggling to sit up.
“No.” Cupping her shoulders, he eased her
back into the grass. “Rest. You nearly drowned in the river. If I
hadn’t pulled you out… Did God create you for me?”
The unmistakable hope in the stranger’s
question took Lilith by surprise. Her heart thudded madly. She had
survived.
I am in the Light.
This beautiful creature had saved her.
She was naked. Had he undressed her? He’d
been fingering her nipple when she awakened. What else had he done
while she was unconscious? Would he fuck her now, demand that she
take his cock into her mouth or up her ass in exchange for her
life? Her pussy ripened at the thought while laughter bubbled
within her. Those were Dark thoughts, Dark concerns. There
