Goddess Of The Underworld.Â
Fishes.Â
“Wow.” I breath out, leaning on the railing to look down at the water.Â
Xavier’s hands land on the railing either side of my body as the warmth from his chest rests along myÂ
back.Â
“Do you know how to swim?”Â
I turn my head to look at him. “Of course…are we…?”Â
“Sir.” A gentleman clears his throat behind us, and I turn to see him holding two sets of diving gear.Â
“Thank you, Remis, that’ll be all.” Xavier strides over to wear the gear now sits on a large table and he picks up the clearly smaller suit.Â
“I said I could swim, not dive.” I panic for a moment, and he laughs.Â
“I’m a licensed diver. Don’t worry, you’ll be safe with me. You’ll always be safe with me.”Â
Xavier leads me back to a bedroom he had previously showed me and on the bed is a tiny little red bikini. I snap my head to him and then to the offensive ‘clothing’ and its his turn to blush.Â
“Fuck.” He rubs the back of his neck. “I asked Aleisha to pack a swimsuit, not butt floss.”Â
This makes me laugh hysterically. Of course this was her idea.Â
“It’s fine, I guess. I’ll get her back eventually.” I snatch up the bikini and head to the ensuite to change. It definitely is…flossing but I would be lying if I said it didn’t look amazing at the same time. I was naturally blessed with curves in all the right places, along with the vigorous training I’ve pushed my body through, the bikini is highlighting all my years of hard work. When I emerge, Xavier is finishing up putting his scuba suit on and takes a sharp inhale when he sees me.Â
“Fuck,”Â
His suit does absolutely nothing to hide the growing length of his cock and holy moly…it is massive, I would avert my eyes for his privacy but his seem to be exploring the entire length of my own body. I do a quick spin and watch as his cock twitches with excitement that makes me bite my lip to hide the full smirk that’s wanting to break through.Â
“It fits.” I shrug.Â
“It…uh…you…fuck.” He stumbles over his words grabbing the extra suit and bringing it to me.Â
I awkwardly pull the very tight suit on, and he helps me do up the zipper before turning around and pointing to his own.Â

Fishes.Â
“Do you mind?”Â
“Of course.” I grab the bottom of the zipper and memorize the corded muscles along his back at the same time. I let one of my fingers train up before the zipper, testing to see if those sparks will come back and they do, oh yes, they do. I watch as his body shivers from the contact and I wonder just how intense they are with a full mate bond in place. DÂ
We make our way out to the deck where Xavier runs me through the dos and don’ts of diving and what to expect. Once we’re fully geared up, he ushers me to the landing we’ll jump from and checks that I’m ready. He holds my hand, and I block my nose as we jump.Â
The ocean from here is…fucking wow. Fish swim around us like we’re no bother to them. There’s different plants and corals and the colours shine from the light above the water. Xaiver watches me for a long moment as I take in the surroundings and then he takes my hand again and we go deeper. It’s a surreal experience. I especially like watching the giant, fierce, protective Alpha swimming around like a delicate little fish. He’s so gentle and calm here, like maybe this is what he would be without the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. I’m not sure how long we’re down here for but eventually he checks our tanks and then points upwards as if to say our time is up. His large hands find my waist and he boosts me upwards, following himself with large, strong kicks and then we break the surface where Remis is waiting. Xaiver hauls himself up and then without any effort at all he pulls me up as well.Â
Pulling of the gear and placing it to the side where Remis collects it, Xaiver turns to me.Â
“So…did you like it?” He almost looks nervous, like maybe I absolutely hated that magical experience.Â
