we show off our different scarlet letters
Flora’s laughter rings out across the beach, the sound bright and slightly slurred as she beams up at him. "You’ll love them," she insists, curls bouncing as she leans closer, wisely leaving out the part (for now) about how she'd fucked them both individually and together. "And no, they’re not ghosts, they’re Ancients!" She says it like it’s the punchline to a joke only she gets, eyes alight with the same tipsy warmth that lives in her cheeks.
Firelight flickers behind Kaisel, gilding his shoulders in copper while the surf behind her glows faintly blue, a living halo that paints her skin in shifting light. He looks impossibly good in it, with every line of muscle catching gold and shadow, his grin sharp enough to trip over. The rough scrape of his voice hits something low in her stomach, heat blooming fast and dizzy. It’s in the way he looks at her too, like he’s memorizing her laugh, her breath, the way her hair sticks to her damp skin. Every heartbeat feels a little too loud, a little too alive.
As she pauses, so does he, the space between them pulsing with sound and light. She drags her curls back with both hands, sweeping them off her flushed face; the movement arches her back and lifts her breasts, drawing her body into clean lines that lengthen her torso beneath the low burn of the fire. Her mouth curves, slow and dangerous. "Oh really?"
Then he’s moving, and so is she. Her laughter breaks free again as she staggers backward through the sand, the world tipping pleasantly off-kilter. She reaches for him even as he reaches for her, the collision inevitable. Her palms find the heat of his shoulders, his back, the slick warmth of his skin beneath her fingers, and then they’re falling, tangled and breathless, the impact softened by the sand and her unbothered joy.
She ends up beneath him, legs stretched out, curls spilling everywhere, the night breathing around them in fire and blue shimmer. His eyes are molten-dark above her, and her pulse trips wild in response, a spark catching deep in her chest. Leaning forward, breath brushing his ear, her voice drops to a whisper edged with wicked delight.
"Wanna see what I can do?"
