Chapter 10

Damien opened his eyes, he hadn’t realize he’d fallen asleep. Had it been a few minutes, or hours?

He couldn’t tell. The white noise provided by the waterfall, and the post sex mellowness brought both of them to slumber.

“Zoe,” he whispered to her, “we have to go now.”

She produced a complaining noise, slowly placing her hand on his mouth.

“Let’s stay here forever,” she mumbled.

Damien smiled, I wish we could, he thought. Then called her again, “Zoooooe.” She sat up, rubbing her eyes, trying to focus.

She looked at the waterfall, and sighed.

“I’m just dying to go back into the water,” she said.

“You sure? It’s probably cold by now.”

Zoe looked at him, almost rolling her eyes.

“It’s a joke, dummy,” she laughed.

“Hey, I’m still drowsy,” he said, making a noise as he stood up, stretching his big arms and lean body, “besides, that sex was too great, I think my mind still hasn’t come back from exploding.”

He gave her his hand, she took it and stood up beside him.

“Isn’t it too dark out there? Is it dangerous?” she asked.

Damien was rolling the blanket and putting it back on its container box.

“There’s a full moon tonight, you shouldn’t have a problem finding your way.”

He walked to her and kissed her forehead, “I’m going out first and will guide you, just in case, okay?”

She smiled and nodded.

“You ready?” he asked.

She took a deep sigh and followed him out.

Damien knew that the best way to deal with a problem was to straight up face it. The waterfall wasn’t going away and even if it was cold, there was no avoiding it. He pulled himself up to the edge of the water and then jumped ahead. He might have still been a little groggy before, but now, emerging from the cold water, he was completely awake, swimming in place waiting for her. And he waited... and waited.

“Zoe! The waterfall’s not going anywhere, you have to jump!”

“I’m just gathering strength!”

“You have to stop thinking and jump! I promise the bed on my cabin will be much cozier than here.”

“Okay, okay I’m doing it... I’m doing—!” she screamed as she jumped ahead and sank into the water.

“Oh my, oh my, oh my! It’s cooooold!” she said, her eyes fully open, finding him in the dim moonlight, “let’s go!”

He laughed, “all right, captain, let’s move.”

They swam back to the picnic area, Zoe shaking as she pulled herself out of the water.

“You know how when you come out of the pool it’s always colder than when you were inside?” she said.

Damien looked at her inquisitively, “yes.”

“Well this is not the case, it’s actually warmer out here in the open than in the water.”

He laughed and hugged her, giving her some of his warmth. His bear side never let him truly exposed to the elements, not even in human form, but he could see her shaking and wanted to do what he could.

“This is much better,” Zoe said, under him.

“You can use this while your clothes dry,” he said, handing her the picnic blanket.
