The King’s Seduction
I turn my head, not breaking the spell with his fingers still pressed against my skin, but looking out across the surface of the water, I see a moment to truly let go for the moment, even if there may be frightening Tani dwelling beneath the waves.
"Then swim with me," I murmur. Tai nods, letting his hands glide off of me.
I only just catch the mischievous glint in his eyes. "As you wish."
Before I can dive under the waves, Tai splashes me, the droplets raining down on me, the salt stinging my eyes for a moment as I wipe them in protest. When I can open my eyes, Tai has waded further away from me, smiling brightly as he sweeps his curls back, anticipating me splashing him back.
