Swim
"Lincoln, no!" Octavia shook her head as she backed away from the pool of spring water. "I told you what happened last time I went swimming." The young brunette had no intention of ever putting her body in the water again. It didn't matter that her lover was currently waist deep in the water.
"Octavia, you are perfectly safe." He assured. "Would I let you in the water if there was a monster lurking?"Octavia chewed her lower lip, she trusted him completely, but her fear of the water was intense. She stood currently in a pair of her underwear and a tank top, startling like the last time she wanted to swim.
Lincoln walked out of the water, clad in only a pair of shorts. "Come on, Love, you're safe." He wrapped his arms around her waist. Trusting and sweet, she leaned into his chest.
"Lincoln!" She yelped when he bent and picked her up. Turning he walked swiftly into the water.
. "You can see the bottom of the spring. Not even fish live here." He murmured as they sunk into the water. She kept her arms around his neck, as she relaxed. She kissed him deeply as he slowly released her.
She couldn't exactly swim, so she clung to Lincoln. He could stand, but she couldn't, being several inches shorter than him.
"Just move your legs back and forth, side to side." He murmured his instructions to her. Keeping her arms around his neck she hesitantly did as he said. Slowly she moved her legs, getting a feel for it until she was treading water.
"There you go." He murmured is approval. Pleased with his praise she kept doing it, keeping her head above water. Slowly she let go of his neck, though his hands remained on her waist.
"Move your arms similar to your legs." He spoke quietly, watching her, soon he was able to release her. He glanced away briefly, hearing a sound, he was startled by the splash of water that hit him, followed by Octavia's sudden laughter.
He glanced back with a smirk, "Oh you think you're funny, huh?" He asked as he lunged towards her, causing another shriek of laughter from the young woman.
