“Really?” He windmills his arms, and the water goes back to being an estuary.

“Yes!” I say with a laugh. I launch myself around his shoulders and kiss him. He tastes like seawater and my happily ever after. “I would love to pack my bags and move in with you. I thought you’d never ask.”

He grins and holds my hips. “I was actually going to ask if you wanted me to move here. But given how my duties are increasing…”

I peck his lips. “Baby, I love you, but the Coral Kingdom needs you. It’s a no-brainer. I’d love to make a home with you in your country.”

“You already are my home, Daryl Tishman.” We kiss again, slower this time. When I pull off, he gives me that smoldering look. The island is so quiet that all I can hear is our hearts beating.

“Do you…want to…?”

I look down and notice the smooth rock. “Right here?”

Seero shrugs and says, “No one is around. And I have always wanted to make love on the beach under the stars.”

I snicker and trace his mouth with my finger. “If this was your secret kink, all you had to do was ask.”

The next five minutes are a blur of stripping and laying down clothes to be comfortable. Under the stars, we proceed to make out with my body on top of his. His hungry hands palm my ass, and I’m glad I cleaned myself and prepped before we left the hotel. I reach between us and stroke our hard cocks together. My hunger for him still hasn’t died down after a year, and I doubt it ever will.

We take a minute to lube ourselves up with the packets I brought. Then, I lie on my side. He lifts my thigh up and kisses my spine. Without saying much, he shifts forward and enters me. I cherish the feeling of him completely inside me. Seero holds my hip firmly, and, after a second, pulls out, then fucks me with rough passion. I gasp and mutter obscenities as I reach behind to touch his hair. In contrast to his animalistic hip thrusts, his kisses are so gentle on my neck.

Right there, under the stars, on a remote island, we make love. No one in the ocean exists except me and the Coral Prince.

Once we’re done and clean, he lies on my chest with clothes covering our legs. Seero languidly traces circles around my nipple, and I listen to him breathe.

“You should know…” he says softly.

“What?”

“You truly are my forever, Daryl Tishman.”

“Aw, babe, I feel the same way.”

“And one day, I am going to properly propose to you.”

I gulp. “Seriously?”

He looks up at me, brown eyes reflecting the stars. “Yes. I want to officially be yours, Daryl Tishman.”

My heart feels even fuller than five minutes ago. We’ve talked about being soulmates, but never actually referred to marriage.Of course, being with him forever was always the plan, but now that he’s said it out loud, it feels so real.

“I’d love that,” I whisper. “Me, a member of the royal family.”

He grins, and I touch his lip again. “You won’t be the king, or the queen, but you would be the royal spouse, one of the highest honors in the Coral Kingdom. You would have duties of course.”

“Duties?”

He kisses my finger. “The Corali people will look to you for guidance, which is appropriate. After all, you are the wisest person I know, and you have much knowledge you can share with the public. You have a master’s degree now.”

We both laugh, his voice reverberating through my chest. “What if I can’t? Or they don’t accept me? Or what if someone tries to pull another move like your sister? What if?—?”

He leans forward and kisses me hard. With a simple touch, Seero makes my anxieties vanish. “I will spend my entire life protecting you. And they will love you, because I love you.”

I smile and run my fingers through his scalp. “You love me the most, Seero. I hope I can return the favor.” With another kiss, we seal our commitment. Today wasn’t just about graduating or sex on an island; it was about the first step to my future with Seero, hand in hand with the amazing Coral Prince.
