Storm looks back at me, smiling. "No, neither can I."
That's when I notice that I can see his smile. His mouth, his nose, his eyes. I canseehim! The annoying aura has disappeared, letting me see him just like I used to be able to.
Another splash, this time from behind me, and an angry Arc starts shouting curses at a certain unicorn. Storm and I exchange a look and both burst into laughter.
He's actually laughing, properly laughing. Okay, this really is a strange place. My Storm, laughing like a normal human being... well, Guardian.
Frost is the next to arrive, but instead of complaining, he's whooping in joy.
"I love it!" he shouts and starts swimming towards me. "This place is beautiful!"
Arc and Storm look around as if they haven't really noticed their surroundings yet.
"Aye, it's stunning," Arc agrees. "But the water is a wee bit warm."
"You're so Scottish," I laugh. "Most people would be happy to have warm rather than freezing sea water."
He shrugs. "I'm used ta cool air around my legs."
And around other things, I want to say, but his grin says it all. He knows exactly what I'm thinking.
"Why are you all in the water?" Crispin suddenly shouts, making us all turn to look at the beach. He's standing there, hands in pockets, still fully dressed and compared to the others, very dry. We can't have that.
I throw a wind lasso around him and drag him into the sea. He screams as he's pulled into the water while the men around me are roaring with laughter.
"What did you do that for?" he groans when he resurfaces in front of me. "I was very happy on dry land."
"A little too happy, Crisp," Frost chuckles. "If Wyn hadn't pulled you in, I would have."
Crispin glares at him but then turns to me. "So, what are we doing here? Is there a reason we're all standing in the sea with our clothes on?" That's when he realises that I'm not wearing anything. "Oh."
"The elephant in the room..." Arc mutters. "Or the Goddess in the water."
Heat flares through my body. Did Blaze plan this? Whether he did or not, this is a beautiful present. In the real world, we've not had time to be together in ages, not all four of us. Here, time stands still and we can take as long as we want. We can relax together.
The guys are standing in a circle around me, watching me, but nobody's making the first move.
"Do you need instructions?" I ask teasingly. To emphasise my point, I make my magic remove their clothes. There, now we're all naked.
"Did you just undress us?" Storm asks in a deep voice full of promises and sin.
I shrug. "You were too slow."
"Are ye in a rush?" Arc comes at me from behind, little waves signalling his approach. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me against his chest. "We can do this fast, if you want."
His cock is pressed against my back, already hard and ready. Do I want this the quick way? Yes, I'm not in the mood for a drawn-out foreplay. I want them, now. But they can take their time once we've started. I don't want this little piece of paradise to end just yet.
Chapter Ten
Arc carries me out of the water and onto the sandy beach, despite my protests that I can walk on my own, thank you very much. The sand has been warmed by the sun and makes a cosy mattress that Arc now lies me on.
"Yer so beautiful," he mutters, looking down at me. I'm the only one on the ground; the men are all standing over me, watching, staring, admiring. It's a bit too much attention.
I stretch out my arms as if to pull the guys down to my level. Frost smiles and kneels at my feed.
"Spread your legs, Princess," he whispers and I do so without thinking. I rest my head on the sand, my breath ragged already in anticipation of what's to come. I'm going to enjoy this, that much is for sure.
Frost's lips graze my thigh, his tongue sliding over my skin ever so softly. It's a touch not much more than a breath, but it makes me shiver in delight. He presses tiny kisses on my thigh, working his way upwards. Electricity is running through my veins, telling my body to prepare for the coming onslaught of emotions and pleasure.
