"Where exactly are we going?" Ninaine eyed the basket strapped to
Luneth. It was strapped with little snack bits and a skin of wine, but
he hadn't said where they were going off to. Since leaving Callaine
with Yanley, Ninaine had felt a bit lost and distanced herself, but
she welcomed the outing that N'call had suggested.

"The beach," he smiled. "I thought you might like the sun, and there
is this shady little cove with a beautiful waterfall I thought you
might like."

She looked at him with surprise and spoke softly. "I've never been to
the beach." She took a breath and climbed up to strap herself about
her green. Luneth shifted from side to side; the moment N'call had
said "sun", the dragon was eager to leave.

"So we'll have fun and enjoy the time just you and me," he smiled and
climbed up onto Haloth's broad shoulders. Together the two dragons
leapt into the air and soon they were in the bright warm sunlight not
too far from Riverbluff Weyr. The weather was perfect with a cloudless
sky and sparkling waves below. He pointed forward and they leaned into
the wind.

The warmth hit her and Ninaine relaxed as the scent of the sea drew an
immediate sense of relaxation into her. Luneth positively vibrated
with eagerness as she banked downward, and the moment she gave a
hurried backwinged landing, she was chafing to be off in the water and
warm sun.

Ninaine slid down and unbuckled the straps, a slight smile on her face
for Luneth's eagerness. She too was glad to be out in the sun. She
piled the straps into a loose mound and watched as the green barreled
into the sea, making a wide splash as she dunked herself. She waited
for N'call to dismount and looked over at him. "It's lovely.
Absolutely lovely."

"I thought you'd like it," N'call smiled as he slid off Haloth and
began stripping his straps. He felt a sense of pride in pleasing her
as though he'd built this beach himself. "A little ways inland there
is a beautiful waterfall and greensward where we can picnic if you
like a bit later."

"I do." She watched as Luneth flicked her wings in the water,
stretching her neck to flirtatiously beckon to him and her lips curled
up. The green never stopped in her enticements of the bronze and at
least, Ninaine decided, it was mainly that bronze instead of any
other. She turned her head towards the inland that N'call gestured.
"That would be really nice."

"Would you like to play in the ocean a little first?" He smiled
suggestively and began to remove his clothing.

Meanwhile Haloth responded to the green with a rumble of appreciation
for her fine neck and rubbed his muzzle against it before entwining
with her.

Ninaine's cheeks flushed as she watched him. Naughty, yes, but she
loved seeing N'call unclothed. There was just so much there to admire
and it made her fingers itch to touch. She controlled the urge, but
with some difficulty and swallowed as her mouth went a little dry. Her
voice came out slightly squeaky. "I didn't bring a swimsuit."

A slow smile spread across his face. "You don't need one sweetheart,"
he said. "There is no one around for miles."

Her face grew hotter and she stammered. "But...I'll be naked. In the
open." She swallowed and one hand clutched at her shirt. Her body
hadn't completely recovered from Callaine's birth and parts of her
still felt...pudgy. She had lost that after Impression and had been
happy about it, but it had come back with a vengeance. She didn't stop
watching him, however, her eyes dipping to his trousers that still
remained. She knew exactly what was under those and she had long since
admitted to herself that she really liked what was there.

He'd never admit it to a soul but that was part of the reason he'd
brought her out here to the back of beyond. "You're beautiful naked
Ninaine," he said as he began to pull off his trousers. "But if you
want to get your shirt all wet, it's going to make for a very
uncomfortable ride between when we go back." He shrugged and hid the
smile that threatened to break out all over his face.

"But..." She floundered for another excuse even as she watched him.
The sight of the muscled thigh and hip made her mouth go dry and it
showed in the way she watched him. Her fingers wound in her shirt as
she shifted from one foot to the other. A deep inside part of her mind
was screaming at her to chuck the clothes and dive into the water with
him, then touch all that wet drippy skin...And then the Holdbred part
of her upbringing happened to mention how improper it would be to swim
naked. What would her family think?

She swallowed again and looked down at her shirt, then back at him.
The lustier part of her mind chimed in, overriding the Holdbred
qualms. **Do it. You want to do it. Who cares what they think? They're
not here. He is. And he thinks you're beautiful. He's seen you naked
plenty of times anyway. And look at that bottom! That's your favorite
part...well, besides the other.** Her eyes went immediately to what
was indeed her favorite part and she wanted to fan herself. Hesitantly
her hand went to the laces of her shirt. **Drippy skin. Warm drippy
skin.** Whatever was left of the Holdbred urges for propriety was lost
in her lustier mind's whoop of glee as the trousers came completely
off. She'd never seen him in sunlight like this. The laces of her
shirt were tugged and before she realized it, the shirt was off and in
the sand. She peeped and covered herself.

He'd been following her glances and made sure he posed for her to get
the best view. She might not realize it but he was beginning to read
her reactions quite well. She'd come so very far from her hold-bred
origins but there were times when he pushed just a little. He chuckled
when she covered herself and moved closer. He gently circled her
wrists and pulled her arms away from her chest. "Beautiful," he
breathed in appreciation. "Let's get wet," he tilted his head toward
the warm waters.

When he approached and took her wrists, her breathing quickened almost
automatically and her cheeks flushed, but she visibly relaxed at the
compliment. She'd never been naked this boldly before, even in front
of him; the realization that he still thought her beautiful, even
after giving birth, gave her a warm spurt of confidence. "Okay." Her
voice was soft as she moved her hands away to unlace her trousers.
Stripped fully nude, she rushed towards the water, gasping in surprise
at the coolness of it. It wasn't as cold as she had been expecting and
as a matter of fact, it was refreshing. It felt... free.

He chased her into the water and dove under the waves to come up
nearby. "See? And there's no one around at all."

Her wet hair draped over her eyes and the feeling of all the water on
her uncovered skin was so new. But it felt so good. She flashed a
sudden wide smile as she tread water. She then blinked and jerked as
she looked down. "HEY! A fish just...nibbled me."

"Because you're delicious," he said with a flair of menace in his eyes
and dove under the waves to take a nibble himself.

She squealed in surprise, then hurriedly paddled away, kicking her
feet. Instead of fear or shame, she felt only a growing sense of
enjoyment and for the first time in a long time, a feeling of fun. She
giggled as she tried to peer into the water for the dark shadow that
would mark N'call coming after her, then with a sparkle of mischief in
her eyes, darted the other way.

But N'call was a great swimmer and even played on the Dragonsfall
Waterball team so he was well aware of the kind of dangers of flailing
feet under water so after a quick surface for a breath he changed
direction and managed to grab her foot on the second try. He pulled
her down and into a quick embrace and kissed her before kicking back
to the surface and letting her go.

She burbled in the water as she was tugged down and felt the kiss
under the waves. She bobbed right back up and wiped her face, laughing
with her entire expression. "That was cheating!"

"I'm good at cheating," he grinned. He couldn't really express how
happy it made him to see her with a happy smile instead of the seeming
self doubt that normally followed her around like a cloud. "I have a
bottle of wine and some fruit if you're ready to back to the beach."

She flicked water at him and pushed her dripping hair out of her face.
"Wine and fruit?" She turned and looked over at the beach, then
paddled towards N'call. She caught his shoulder and then hung lightly
on. "You did all that for me?"

"I care about you," he said seriously as he looked down at her.

Ninaine stared up at him with large eyes. Her fingers flexed against
his shoulders and she swallowed roughly. Her voice was a whisper. "I
love you."

He smiled gently and lowered his lips to hers. He poured all his own
feelings into that single kiss so she couldn't mistake his meaning.
