SPELLBOUND

"Ga- gav!" Evie could only hold on to him, as though she was clinging for dear life. Her fingernails dug unforgivingly into the back of his neck, but Gavriel was past caring about little things such as this.

He was drowning in pleasure as currently nothing matters to him anymore but her and their intense union. Good Lord, he felt like he had turned into a beast who was hungry all the time and could never get enough no matter how much he ate… What the hell did this woman do to him?

Before long, Gavriel's thrusts turned into pounding. He could not help himself. He wanted to hear more of her adorable little squeaks and moans and dive into the deepest part of her.

"Gav! Ah! Oh, god!" Evie's voice had long since turned into a sobbing mess. He was too much. This intensity was too much. And yet… she did not want him to stop. She felt an indescribable pleasure. And when their eyes met, Evie did not know that she had an intense look of hunger reflected in her eyes, telling Gavriel that she wanted him as much as he did.

And all it took was that one hungry look for Gavriel to completely lose it. "F*ck! Evie!" he growled as the surge of pleasure welled up inside him. His rhythm hastened even more as his already hard and thick shaft swelled and with one final thrust, he slammed his length deep inside her with vigour.

At that moment, both of them had their eyes shut tightly. Evie's thighs began to quiver violently as Gavriel spurted his seed inside her. Her insides constricted over and over around him as if to milk him dry and Gavriel growled again, uttering love curses.

They both rested against each other in the aftermath, with Evie resting her head on his chest and Gavriel's forehead on her shoulders. Damn! That was just too incredible… it was… he did not have the words to explain what had just happened!

When Gavriel finally lifted his face and looked at her, he bumped his forehead against hers and in an almost inaudible husky whisper, he said, "I love you," before kissing her forehead.

Evie missed hearing it as she was still dazed from the lovemaking and all she could hear was her heavy pants and the loud beatings of her heart. She felt utterly weak as she slumped against him.

With her legs still wrapped around his hips, Gavriel finally moved, and exited her. She felt him wash her down there and then he began to walk towards the shore, holding her so gently in his arms.

Evie just rested her head on his shoulder, her gaze fixed on the water. She would never ever forget this night and this place, and what they just shared between them. Flushing harder, Evie's arms around his head tightened as she buried her head into the crook of his neck as if to hide from something. She was embarrassed because though she utterly loved what they just did, the thought of her becoming so lewd mortified her.

She peeked over his shoulder again and her attention was finally pulled away from the intense lovemaking they had just shared.

Blinking owlishly, Evie focused her gaze on the water as Gavriel was reaching the shore. Realization seemed to flash in her eyes. "Gav?" she called out softly.

"Hmm?"

"It seemed that this water changed its colour too… like that necklace?"

Gavriel paused and his eyes slowly narrowed at the sight of the water before him. The silvery glitters had changed into the same colour of that necklace when Evie had worn it!

As if to ensure he was seeing things properly, Gavriel closed his eyes and then opened them again. It was the same!

Hastily, Gavriel quickened his pace and at last he reached the shore. But he noticed that when none of Evie's body was in the water anymore, the water's colour immediately turned back to normal.

Gavriel halted in his steps. What was going on?

Curious, Gavriel dipped Evie's feet into the water again and the glittery particles in the entire water turned into amber again. Making the entire water looked like a goddess just sprinkled it all over with gold dust.

When Gavriel lifted Evie out of the water again, it turned back to normal, causing Gavriel's expression to become severe for a moment.

"Seems like it," was all he could say as he finally took her out of the water. Evie shivered now that the warm water was no longer surrounding her, making her exposed to the cold temperature.

But Gavriel was swift to wrap her up with their cloaks, drying her up quickly before dressing her in her warm clothes.

"Thank you," Evie said, and he just smiled at her as he led her to a stone and sat her there as he went and dressed himself knowing that her knees might still be wobbly due to their intense exercise.

Evie was watching the water with great interest and curiosity until Gavriel gathered her in his comforting arms again.

"It's time for us to go." He reminded her.

"Will we return here again?"

"Of course, love. In fact, I wanted to show this place to you when it is still daylight. You'd be surprised again if you see it."

"Oh, really? Now I'm excited to return here one day."

"We will." He smiled and they began to head off from that magical place.

Evie leaned her head into Gavriel's chest and asked in a soft voice after a few seconds. "Why do you think the water changed the way it did when my body entered the water?" her tone held curiosity and a slight trace of fear of the unknown.

Gavriel was silent for a while. When he opened his mouth to answer, Evie suddenly stiffened.

"Evie?" Gavriel halted and looked at her. Her face was severe.

"Is it raining?!" she asked, her face horrified.

Gavriel was alarmed at her expression. "No. It's not. These are dews. Why? What is wrong?"

Evie's face relaxed a little but her gaze to Gavriel remained severe. "G-gavriel... there is something I need to tell you."
