“No.I let the oxygen run out.When my body needed to, it pulled the water in and started breathing again.I have to get Khytten something nice for this.Maybe something for the kids as well.”
Riro stroked her back.“What were you thinking?”
“White pearls for Khytten, silver for the kids, and black pearls for Salat’s pointy, pointy ears.”
He chuckled.“Something can be arranged.”
“And maybe some kind of island wear for Khytten.My measurements, minus five inches in height, and add those measurements to the bustline.”Pria was getting a little dizzy.
Cabree laughed.“I will look for something bright and a little trampy.That is Dr.Torenne’s favourite style on her.”
Riro lifted Pria in his arms and said, “Hungry again?”
“Yeah, it’s been a few days and...nope.Not hungry, just tired.Cabree’s blood is really filling.”She looked at him.“You are carrying me?Why?”
Cabree grinned.“Thank you.Is the golden wonder still on the yacht?”
“Yes, he’s on his way around the headland right now.He should be here before midnight.”Riro looked at her.“I am carrying you because you were swaying and going to collapse.”
“Maybe, but then I could make sand angels.”
He snorted.“Cabree, come with me.My house is this way.”
“Fine, but you know that he’s gonna track me there.”
“I am aware.We had the discussion on his ship.As long as he doesn’t wake Pria, he can have at you.”Riro laughed.
Pria snorted.She would only wake if Cabree were in distress.
They walked through the relieved crowd, and Ysell came to them.“Riro, you are well?”
“I am fine.”
“Your lady is impressive.”
Riro chuckled.“I know.We are going home so she can get some rest.”
“She will rest?”
“She will.Can you have food sent at dawn?”
Ysell paused and said, “Of course.I will send a plate of fruit and dried meat tonight, just in case.”
Riro chuckled, and Pria smiled.He was warm and solid and moving without extra motion.She whispered, “Yay, gills.”
He kissed the top of her head.“Yay, gills.”
She smiled and dozed off.Tomorrow, she wanted to see the actual island.
Pria loved being warm and cool at the same time.She breathed deep and paused.There were hands supporting her breasts.Big hands.Pria glanced over her shoulder, and Riro was there.His hair wrapped around her, and his thigh draped over hers.She reached down and stroked his thigh.His eyes snapped open.She smiled.“Morning.Were you afraid my breasts were going to get away?”
He chuckled.“It didn’t seem to be comfortable to have them mushed together like that, so I thought a little support wouldn’t be amiss.”
“You are good at offering support.”
“Thank you.”He kissed her shoulder.He released his grip on one of her breasts and stroked his way down her ribs and belly.
She closed her eyes and felt the heat of his fingers as he moved them.It felt nice, and then she felt a distinct tingle as his fingers rubbed her mound.
