Weâd both fought with everything we had and gone to our limit. Thalia was a dedicated fighter, and I knew I could fight without holding back against her and sheâd be fine. She kept pace blow for blow and gave as good as she received.
In the end, neither of us went in the water. She pinned me to the ground, while I got her in a hold. She couldnât get out, but neither could I.
We tied.
As she lingered above me, we stared into each otherâs eyes, and for an eternity, all that mattered was the ever so slight white of her iris. If not for the thin black circle, Iâd be hard pressed to notice the difference in color.
Her breath drifted down my nose in small bursts, her heart beat into her hands as she held my wrists.
âAlex?â she said my name like a question, and I didnât have to ask what that question was.
I knew both it and the answer.
âThalia,â I said, my voice firm.
She smiled and her head lowered closer to mine. We were mere inches from each other, and she closed the distance in a handful of heartbeats.
A hint of wintergreen brushed past my nose as a pleasant warmth sent goosebumps up my skin. Her nose touched mine, and I couldnât hold back anymore.
My head lifted to meet hers and our lips pressed together. Her lips were soft, and her mouth welcoming as we kissed. She lifted her hands and ran them through my hair as her mouth parted and her tongue teased my lips.
I opened and pulled her closer to me. We let our mouths dance with each other for a time and I dared to let my hands travel over her body. She guided my hand to her hips and then further back, letting them slide under her swimsuit as she placed my hand on her ass. She gave my fingers a half squeeze, letting me know I could continue.
She let a moan slip from her lips as my fingers dug into her flesh and I grabbed her ass. Thalia sunk her hips to my groin and shimmied back and forth, drawing a rise from me.
But as quickly as our bout of passion started, we both pulled away. My hand slipped back down to my chest and we broke the kiss.
Our breathing was labored and there was a dark flush to Thaliaâs cheeks.
âI think I needed that more than the fight,â she said.
I nodded. âYeah, it certainly took my mind from things.â
She leaned back and brought her hand to her lips. âItâs been a long time since Iâve been touched, let alone kissed. And as much as I would love to do it again, I donât think we should just yet.â
âNot while weâre both hurting?â
She nodded. âI want to explore my feelings for you, but I donât want what happened to be the catalyst for our relationship. I want to be with you on my terms.â
âI understand.â I grinned at her. âThanks for the sparâ¦and the kiss.
