The dull gray clouds were several shades lighter than the choppy waters over which they stretched, but they darkened along the horizon to blur the line between sea and sky. A steady wind, tolerable but carrying the hint of a chill, blew tirelessly off the ocean. Vasil frowned as he surveyed the scene; though the storm had relented some time during the previous night, the weather hadn’t given up. All signs pointed toward another storm before day’s end.

He’d decided after their morning meal hours before not to go to sea today. It was too dangerous to risk going out; better to lose a day of searching to caution than to lose Theo to recklessness.

Vasil swung his gaze landward and settled it upon her. He watched as, eyes downcast, she carefully walked through the shallow tide pool. The wonder and curiosity on her face warmed his chest, but it wasn’t quite enough to stop his attention from wandering.

His eyes dipped to study her body. Though he knew what was hidden beneath her jumpsuit, the sight of the fabric pulling taught over her curves as she moved stirred his blood. Her rounded backside, in particular, caught his eye; he’d have to be sure to focus on it next time.

He smiled. It would’ve been a lie had he claimed their couplings last night and earlier that morning hadn’t played a significant role in his choice to forgo his search. Vasil had never known sex could be so pleasurable. He’d never known he could want someone so much.

He and Theo had gone to the stream together after breakfast, bathed one another, and refilled her water containers before returning to the beach to begin their current trek along the coastline. They were perhaps two hours away from the pod now, by measure of their leisurely pace. Close enough for emergencies, far enough for everything to be new, exciting, and a touch mysterious.

Vasil lowered himself into the tide pool and moved toward her, his tentacles unhindered by the slick rocks and soft sand. Patches of color dotted the pool all over — small sea creatures and clumped plants that thrived in the shallow water.

“Is all this stuff really alive?” Theo asked, glancing at him over her shoulder.

“Most of it, yes,” he replied as he closed the remaining distance between them. He followed her gaze with his own to a school of tiny fish moving just below the surface.

Theo laughed when several of the fish swam toward her boot and attempted to nibble on it. Her laughter was high and light, unburdened by the troubles that seemed to have weighed her down over the last few days. The urgency of his search for The Watch could be set aside for a little while. He wanted to bring Theo there so she could live in relative comfort and security, he wanted to return to attempt to form a relationship with his child, but for today, he just wanted to enjoy Theo’s company.
