The lagoon was deeper than I had expected, going on for miles until I couldn’t see the bottom. It felt like being in the middle of a vast ocean. Emptiness with mysteries lurking beneath. My heart sped up, as I began to worry about being eaten by something bigger than the two of us, causing me to breathe out.
Foolish.
My lungs burned as I ran out of oxygen, begging to swim to the surface and struggling against him to become free. He held me tighter and suddenly his hand reached up to grab my chin.
My eyes flung open, burning from the water, and I relaxed once I saw his calm expression. I ran my gaze from his eyes to his lips and back again, wondering what he was planning. Looking back at his lips, I wondered what they would feel like again. I wondered how well he kissed. I wondered what would happen if he did? The very curse that had plagued me many times now.
Snapping out of it, I realized I was completely out of oxygen. My lungs begging to breathe and my chest heaving. I was close to my body choosing for me, and it terrified me. This wasn’t how I had thought I would go, suffocating in the arms of a Cat-Sidhe.
He brought my gaze to his again, and I frantically looked at him.
Help me, please!
His lips suddenly crashed onto mine, and I closed my eyes and tried to not gasp beneath the waves for fear of drowning.
Part your lips and breathe.
Are you insane? Do you want me to drown?
The opposite, lass.
I parted my lips, allowing him to grant me air. I breathed in with my lips locked on his. He gripped the nape of my neck, holding me against him as he breathed with me. His lips brushed along mine, and I was lost in him. My fingers sinking into his hair and suddenly everything became alive. No longer was it a dull silence with the weak sounds of the lagoon around us. I could suddenly hear everything as if I was on the land.
