A Wave Of Desire

Ocean

Once we got home, we rushed up to our room, dropped off our stuff and changed for the pool. Well, I watched Makai change for the pool and then I changed. And, of course, while I changed, Makai watched me getting dressed. We were a perfect pair, weren't we? Even this little perversion we shared. It wasn't a bad thing though. We were in a relationship together, so we were allowed to watch. And it wasn't like Makai had a problem with it.

When we were done getting dressed, we left our room and I saw Ben coming my way.

"Hey, we're going to do our homework first. I don't want our grades to slip with us needing the scholarships now. We will join you when we're done. So go ahead and get started."

"Alright. It was all easy work, at least the stuff that we had was." I assured him.

"Yeah, I am sure that it will be fine. We will head down as soon as it's finished. Try not to have too much fun." He laughed a little mischievously like Ryan would have. I guess Ryan was rubbing off on him, and not just in a perverted way.

"We'll see you in a bit." Makai nodded at him as he walked back to the room that he shared with Ryan.

"Yup, see you soon."

Makai and I hurried down to the pool. I needed to get into that water. I needed to feel the wetness on my skin. I needed it almost like I needed air to breathe. It was like a life essence to me. And I knew that was not just a hyperbole. It was completely true. I needed the water to survive. I mean, I had come from the water after all. It was a vital part of my existence. It only made sense if you asked me.

Finally! Finally, I was back in a room with a pool, and I didn't need to leave it. There was no coach to tell me that I was not allowed to be there. There was no coach that was going to tell me that I couldn't swim. It was just me and Makai and the water. And I was going to dive in right away.

Literally. I was going to dive into the pool. That's why I threw my towel to the side and ran straight to the deep end of the pool. I kicked off from the floor, put my arms out in front of me, and then dove into the water. 

The feeling of the water washing over me felt like the best thing in the world. It had been way too long since I had dove into a pool like this. Being away for so long had made me feel homesick. I honestly felt like my soul was at ease for the first time in a long time. I don't even know why I hadn't come into the pool sooner, aside from my week away, that is.

Actually, I did know. I, like Coach Dickson, was waiting for the go ahead from Dr. Malachi. I wanted to make sure that everything was fine before I got back to it. And now that I was in here, I wish I would have made him speed up this part of my recovery process.

If only I would have been able to get into the pool at school earlier. It would have felt like this. I would have been able to glide through the water like this with so much ease. I would have soared through the water like there was nothing but air in front of me. It would have been perfect.

And man, I was having a good time. While I was moving from one end of the pool to the other, I was swimming so much faster than usual. Did me getting hurt click something over in my mind or something? Did something change about me? What was going on?

That was when I felt the difference. I was not human at the moment. I was fully in my Siren form. I had shifted. I dove into the water and seamlessly shifted into my other form. I don't know how I did it, but I guess it happened because of the emotional experience that swimming was for me right this moment.

"OCEAN!" Makai yelled at me. "What the hell happened?" He called out to me, waving me over to the side of the pool.

"I don't know. I think I just lost control because I was overly emotional. But I'm going to need a new pair of shorts." I laughed and looked back over my shoulder at the ruined pair that was floating behind me.

"You think." Makai laughed at me. "I can't believe you. Seriously? You go and shift the moment that you get back in the pool. I guess it's a good damn thing that the coach told you not to swim today. You would have done this in front of the entire team."

While Makai was laughing about what was going on, I climbed out of the pool to stand next to him. I was tempted to throw him into the pool, but that wouldn't have been very nice,  would it? Then again, he did pull that stunt in the library, he deserved some pay back.

I was laughing along with Makai so that he wouldn't know that anything was wrong. I wanted to make him as calm and comfortable as I possibly could. I mean, I couldn't take him by surprise and throw him into the pool how I wanted if he was on edge or guarded against me in any way.

I even thought of a better way to make this work. He would never see it coming. I was a genius. I swear, they should give me a medal for this plan of mine.

I walked up close to Makai. He was in his swim shorts, so it wasn't like he was going to get wet from me being so close. In truth, I think he liked me getting him all wet like this.

I wrapped my arms around Makai's neck and pressed my lips against his. As soon as he realized what was happening and gasped softly, I slipped my tongue into his mouth. The taste was so much stronger than it had been earlier. The kiss in the library, I had tasted him, but it was nothing like that. It reminded me of that time right after I had learned what I was. I had kissed him and somehow, we had ended up having sex in the water, me in my Siren form and Makai in his human form. That had been the last time that Makai tasted this strong and vivid on my tongue. It was so amazing and intense that I just couldn't get enough of it.

And on top of that, I was getting aroused so much easier. I know that it was all due to this form, this part of me, but that didn't seem to matter to my body. My brain knew it, but my body was telling my brain to shut up.

In all honesty, it took a very concentrated effort to force myself to stop kissing Makai at that moment. I had to focus all of my strength and willpower to pull away from him. And when I did pull away, I had to force myself not to immediately kiss him again. Damn, all of that was so difficult. Note to self, don't do this in my Siren form ever again.

Now that I had managed to break the kiss, it was time for me to conclude with my plan. I couldn't wait to see how he responded to what I was going to do. I had a feeling that it was going to be epic.

In an effort to appear romantic and like I wanted to be closer to him, I ran my hands up Makai's chest until they were right near his pecs. The moment that he was calmed and at ease with me in that position, I pushed him, hard, into the pool.

It was like he was moving in slow motion. He was falling backward into the pool and swinging his arms out to the side to try and catch himself on something, but there was nothing to catch.

And that look on his face was perfect. It was filled with shock and his eyes were wide open. I could see the whites around his irises as he looked at me with shock on his face. And in that seemingly slow-motion movement, I heard him speak.

"Ocean! " I was already laughing. I couldn't stop it. I had gotten him good. He hadn't been expecting to be pushed into the pool like this. He had just been getting settled into the idea of the make out session and now he was in the pool. This was awesome. And I would never forget that look on his face.

The water splashed when Makai fell into it. It didn't take long for him to resurface either and when he did, he was just staring at me in disbelief.

"You.. you.."

"What's the matter, Makai? Catfish got your tongue?" I laughed at him again. "This is payback for the library."

"I'm going to get you." He was now laughing along with me. The laughter was so loud as it echoed in the area around us that I didn't notice the other laughter that was coming.. And it wasn't until the door opened and someone yelled that I knew something was off.
