This was absolutely different to just lingering by the shore or sitting on the beach. It was also different to my usual floating about in a pool when I did get the chance to swim.
The sea felt alive and ... incredible, and it was sparkling against the gentle light the sun gave as it took its time in easing itself to set.
I moved my head closer to him as a particularly fierce looking wave came our way and that was when I heard it...
Or felt it?
I wasn't sure which it was, but as I rested my cheek against the side of his wet hair the most amazing music rippled in fields of energy from him.
This had never happened to me before. I'd never seen or felt music coming from a person, and the lure and mystery of it captured my heart and held me there... It felt like it was the symphony I'd been searching for my whole life and truly rivaled everything else I'd previously composed. It was remarkable, and I saw the whole piece from start to finish.
I pressed my cheek to him relishing the sound and immersing myself in the warmth that surrounded his presence. It reached into me, swelled my heart, and overwhelmed me to the point where I completely forgot that I'd ever had any other feelings towards Gage than what I felt right now.
He released one of my legs so he could touch my arm.
"Are you okay Princess? We can make our way back if you want." He ran his finger along the edge of my forearm.
"No, I'm okay," I replied on the edge of a breath. When I moved my head, he turned slightly to look up at me, checking I was okay.
I gazed down at him, taking in the perfect features of his handsome face. The prominent ridge of his thick brows, his deep-set sapphire eyes surrounded by thick lashes, his sharp cheekbones that led down to his chiseled jaw and the playful smile that danced upon his lips. I felt breathless as he continued to look at me and my heart skittered as he turned his smile up a notch.
"What'd I do now? You're giving me that look again like you don't know what to do with me."
"No, it's nothing," I replied.
"Okay, I'll go out a little bit further. Just hold on to me."
"Okay." I would gladly hold on.
