"Luke, I.." My pants had already sunken down to my knees. One hand was clinging to the tree and the other was curling in Luke's hair as he took me in. It was nearly impossible not to make any noise as this happened. "Jeez, Perce. You're rock hard.." He smirked. I blushed but I felt reassurance because we were in the dark.. He wouldn't even be able to even tell that my cheeks were pink. "Well, what am I supposed to do? I don't know what I'm doing after all.."

He coughed sarcastically and muttered the word 'virgin'. "As if you're not." I whispered huskily into his ear. "I was just stating the obvious.." He snickered. Before we knew it, the horn that meant everybody had be in their cabins for the night sounded, piercing my ears. "Shit.." I cursed. "You know they'll be patrolling like they always do. What are we gonna do..?" I asked nervously. Hmm.. That's a tough one. And shutting up might decrease our chances of getting caught, merman. We were connected mentally again.

Wait a minute, Luke... The water's right there. I smirked. Oh no.. No way. I'm not a good swimmer. He backed away from it. What, are you scared? Still spooked from that time I soaked your butt? I chuckled, cornering him until he backed so far away that his feet were finally submerged in the lake. You up for a skinny dip?

Fine. He sighed. I knew they wouldn't be able to see us if we were underwater or far out in the lake as long as we didn't make too much noise. Umm.. I think you're forgetting something, Mr. Castellan.. I smirked. What? I tugged on the belt of his pants like he had done to me before. Oh.. Yeah. That.. And don't call me Mr. Castellan. He began to undo his belt, and I watched as his pants fell to the ground. That was the first time I ever got mooned in my life. My eyes were wide and I just might've been trembling at the sight of a naked Luke. This is so wrong. You really shouldn't be doing this, you still have time.. The angst was too much, and I succumbed to it. Luke and I slowly glided into the soothing water.

Gods, this water is beautiful.. He began to wade around slowly. "Luke.." I got awful close to him, to the point where our noses were just about touching. "What?" He asked. "What if someone finds out? Don't you think that.." He hushed me with his index finger as one hand wrapped around my waist. Like I said, you worry too much. Just relax for a change. I always say that nothing is a waste of time if you enjoy it.. And I'm enjoying you. He smirked, and my hands almost automatically found their way towards the back of his neck.

Luke.. I need to say something out loud. I could feel my cheeks getting hot. He was right, I'd bottled this up for so long. Ever since I'd laid eyes on him that first time.. And now it was finally ready to come out in the form of words. "I-I think I love you." He stared into my eyes as we effortlessly floated around. You think, or you know? "I know." I smiled. "Say no more.." He whispered huskily as he pulled me in for a passionate kiss. I know what was lingering in the backs of both our minds, but couldn't it wait till we safely got into a cabin, or left? Percy.. You want to leave? Is that what I just heard? He immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at me curiously.

I.. You just love to rape my thoughts, don't you? I smirked. If 'leave' is the word I heard, then I'll die a happy man. He smiled. I've been waiting for what seems like eternity to hear that word. Now, I know that we have the freedom to do whatever we want to. We can get out of this dump, Percy. We can start a new life and revolutionize the way things work...
