The rise and fall getting larger, a burst of adrenaline making me go for it. My arms tired, the heavy pull of water and I hug the board until that last second. The steady movement gone and instead the board isn’t as big as I thought it was…my stomach turning over as I look down at nothing but a long drop into an endless pit. Walking along the board, the wall of water that threatens to collapse beside me, trying to stay hidden beneath it. That urge to touch it, to break it and I hear her voice cheering me on and the wall finally collapse on me.

Only this time it doesn’t drag me down, it just washes over me and I can feel the board slow down. Dragging on the sandy bottom of the endless pit, and she runs over dressed in that bright red bikini. She wears that smile that makes my heart beat far to fast, that pounds against my chest so hard that it’s all I hear. Stepping off the surf board, her hands brushing my hair back, her lips brushing over mine. I can feel her breath warm my skin, and her tongue is what matters.

“That was amazing…you going back out?” she warps her arms around my neck, her hips moving in the rhythm that she owns.

“No, I’m getting tired. You want to get something to eat?” her skin soaked cool to the touch, her eyes bright, warm like a thick golden honey. I can’t look away, she holds me entranced with those eyes…she is mine and I am hers.

“Yeah…hey look who it is.” her arm snaking its way around my waist, her hips moving against mine.

Looking at whose she talking about and I’m not surprised. I’ve seen him a lot out here, looking for the signs of those in trouble. He still wears those stupid ass sunglasses…I’ve always hated those things.

“Hi Carmen…Cutch, nice form out there.” he smiles that cold smile, leaning against my car. “I almost thought you were a surfer…almost.”

“Yeah well I never said I was one…so what’s up super hero?” he follows my every move behind that mask of his.

“Nothing much just saw your car…thought I would come say hi.” her fingers brush over mine sending that little shock of electricity, the warm soft towel in my hand.

“well hi then…you want to go to the planet or home first?” she pulls on a black tank that hugs her body making me want to tear it off of her, to lick her whole body.

“Uh…home.” she grabs a pair of pants from the back seat, wrapping her towel around her.

Watching her and every muscle in my body burns from standing here, from trying so hard to not touch her.

“Ahem…Cutch I need to talk to you two.” his voice softer, quieter and it sends this cold terrifying chill down my body.

“What is it?” he plays with his keys swinging them around his finger.

“I have a favour to ask.”
