let me step a little bolder

Isla

one bright morning goes so easy

"Mmmmhm," Isla hums back to him, her breath hitching slightly to feel his nails skate along the back of her thighs, and though she knows there won't be a repeat performance any time soon, she can't help but arch against him in delight. "I insist on it, in fact," she says of Ever's practicing. "I know you'd never want to disappoint, so we'll have to practice a lot, don't you think?" Unable to keep a straight face, Isla's laughter is swallowed up by the kisses she presses to Ever's cheeks. (She doubts either one of them is entirely joking, though).

Following his gaze out into the steam of the hotsprings, Isla can't see any hint of her bottoms drifting anywhere nearby, and she's not at all keen to spend the rest of their time searching for them. "I liked it," she assures him, and there's just a whisper of dark heat in her words as her nose brushes against his jaw. "I'll just make sure to bring a spare swimsuit next time."

For now, though, his compromise of the towel suits her just fine, the Remedy's agreement silenced by a kiss she sinks into completely. Wishing someone might be able to freeze time but knowing better than to waste the moment on such a wish, it's with a girlish smile that she parts from Ever, the words I love you already back on her lips, even if unspoken for now.
