“That’s me.”
I awkwardly smile hoping she focuses on that versus the jingling noises.
The dropping.
The uncomfortable wiggling of my legs during the shedding process.
As soon as I’m completely naked – the last thing I ever saw myself being around another person again – she releases an impressed hum that leaves me no choice but to look up.
Find her intrigued glare.
Hold my breath and wait for judgement.
Ridicule.
“Wouldn’t mind letting you bite me again and again to mate…” Bryn seductively states yet begins backing away from the vehicle. “Probably would only have to bite me once.”
Certain that’s a shark reference is what leads to me wordlessly following.
Stalking.
Willing to do much more than bite when she’s officially in my arms, damn the whole waiting until the second date thing.
I’ve waited long enough.
A lifetime even.
Brynley Winters is mine.
Meant for me.
The only woman I’m willing to take off any and every mask for.
“Hope you can swim,” is spoken split seconds before she disappears beneath the surface.
Unsure of which direction she’s headed, I simply continue walking forward into the surprisingly warm water, thankful spring has had hotter days than colder ones. I manage to make it about neck deep when my date resurfaces quite a distance away, a location that has my brow furrowing.
How the fuck are we supposed to have a conversation like this?
“We’re gonna play a better version of Marco Polo,” Bryn loudly calls out. “I’m gonna ask you either/or questions.”
“Alright.”
“I like your answer we swim towards each other.”
“And when you don’t you swim away?”
“I’ll stay put.” Seeing her face glow in the sunset rays fills me with feelings I’ve never felt before. Not even the first time I fell in love. “I don’t need to burn the extra calories.”
“I wouldn’t mind burning a few extra with you.”
Her teeth momentarily sink into her glossed bottom lip. “You game?”
“What happens when we meet in the middle?”
“You mean if.”
“I mean what I say.” Another bite of the area is stolen prompting me to proclaim, “The next time that’s bit, it’s gonna be by me.”
