Page 105 of Pallas & Kawehi

"You're wearing your suit right now under your clothes so we can take a dip here."

She pointed down the rocky path. "That's where the ocean is. I don't do oceans, Dom. If I'm getting in a body of water bigger than my tub, I want someplace I know is safe."

Pallas pulled her into his embrace and rubbed his hands over her back to soothe her nerves. He murmured close to her ear. "This place is safe. I promise." He touched a slow, gentle kiss to her cheek. "I'm not going to take my hands off of you the whole time we're in the water."

She leaned back and he met her worried gaze. "You promise it's safe?"

He lifted his hands and gently cupped her cheeks so that she could see right into his eyes. "I promise. I wouldn't take you in the water there if it was dangerous."

"And you'll have your hands on me the whole time?"

He heard the lift in her voice a moment before she smiled at him with her eyes sparkling at the idea.

"I won't let you go."

Kawehi nodded. "Then, let's go."

The Queen's Bath was a wide rock-lined oval with a space at the end letting water in and out with the waves. Pallas held her hand and talked to her as they reached the edge of the pool. "I've checked the tide charts and right now it's at the lowest it will be all day for several hours. The water in the pool might rise a little if waves carry it over the ledge, but we're in no danger of floating out of the pool."

She didn't speak, but she didn't take off running back to their rented Jeep.

As he stripped out of his T-shirt and shorts, she mirrored his movements leaving her body clothed only in her new two-piece suit and the absolute center of his focus.

"It's gorgeous, isn't it?" She was smiling at the deep blue of the water.

"You are, 'Wehi. So incredibly gorgeous."

She rolled her eyes at his comment, but her face was lit by her smile. "Smooth talker."

"Only the truth." He held out his hand and she took it as the two of them walked down to the water.

He kept talking as they stepped into the water. He felt her hand grip his tighter when they were almost up to their knees in the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean. "I was thinking that tonight we could order in to the cabin and... maybe go to bed early."

She laughed softly and looked at him for a second. "Are you... tired?"

"I'm desperate to touch you."

Kawehi lifted their joined hands. "We're holding hands. And in the water, you said you'd keep touching me."

He could hear the lightness in her voice, and it only made him love her more. "That's true, but the kind of touching I'm talking about," he felt a shiver pass from her body to his as the water lapped up at the tops of his thighs knowing that it was a little higher on her body, "involves you spread out on our bed and my-"

"Oh!" A little surge of water washed over the ledge and the water in the pool rose up to the middle of their chests and relaxed back into the 'tub.' Kawehi looked at him and burst out laughing. "Oh my god! That was great!"

Pallas laughed along with her and swept her up in his arms as he walked deeper into the pool.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and held on as he cuddled her close. "Okay," she sighed, "now we have a problem."

"A problem?" He gave her a quizzical look. "How so?"

"I think I might just like this," she looked toward the water beyond her shoulder and then back at him, "cuddling in the water thing."

He narrowed his eyes at her. "That's not really a problem."

"Oh?" She wiggled a little and turned so that she could wrap her legs around his body. "But if I like staying here, then we might not get back to the cabin for an early bedtime."

He lifted a brow at her warning and then moved his hands down her back to cup her ass in his hands.

With her legs already wrapped around him, it was so easy to pull her against him to feel his rock-hard dick against her pussy.
