"Don't get me wrong, Kala, I'm very happy for Drey, she deserves a peaceful and good pregnancy this time as Marina's birth was a close call, which I wouldn't dare to wish on anyone...It wasn't her fault that she was in labor during a war attack...And Marina deserves to be a great sister as she never gave up on herself, growing up with spunk and determination...I...I just...I'm the elder sister...I don't want to be jealous or sad...I am being ridiculous, aren't I?", Nena sighed as she walked with Kala down in a beautiful spot through the far docks around the island, seeing some people working on night fishing ships and such.

Kala chuckled, "Seems like we both have our issues with family, huh? Listen, Nena, you're not a bad person to have some of the thoughts that you have. I understand; it does feel a bit unfair at times, but that doesn't mean that can't change.".

Nena smiled, "I know...", squeezing her hand, kissing her top of her hand as she lifted it up to her lips, and Kala blushed, smiling.

"So, where are we? You haven't taken me this far before, not that I didn't love our night walks occasionally when they do happen twice or thrice a week...", Nena asked, still a bit amazed that she and Kala had been courting aka dating for two months and one week so far, learning so much about each other, becoming slowly more intimate within their permission in turns, and she is starting to realize that she's completely smitten with this amazing, brave, and adorable woman, hoping to find the right moment to tell her the three words soon.

Kala took a deep breath, and looked out, "You see those three docks right there?", and Nena looked, "Yeah.", and Kala whispered, "The second one...that...that was where we launched...that day...", not feeling the whoosh of the need to cry, but a slight pang of sadness and grief, but managed to face it, moving on as she took a deep breath.

Nena blinked, "Oh. Well, he must be glad that the dock is being used as it should be as those people sure are happy with the piles of seafood they caught...It must have been hard for you if you had wanted people to abandon that dock...out of the memory of your cousin...".

Kala sighed, "Believe me, I wanted so badly...I was so angry, upset, hurt, sad...I...this is the first time in decades I came back after the last century or two. My parents told me that it wouldn't be fair if I hurt the people's means of survival by claiming that dock as banned, as everyone needed to be fed with all docks available and maintained, you know?".

"Takes a strong person to be willing to do that. I don't know if I would've done the same in your position...", Nena admitted as Kala nodded.

"Yeah... I know what everyone was telling me, that it was just an accident, that it wasn't my fault or anything... but... you just can't help but feel the guilt for something you feel like was what caused the whole situation to begin with.", Kala said.

"Like being the one driving one day and just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Waiting a few extra seconds at a stop sign and nothing would've happened or something like that.", Nena nodded with a hum.

Kala exhaled, "That's actually...accurate...I thought so much about what ifs...like telling my cousin to rig something stronger to help get the net over or taking out some fish with another net to lessen the load for the pole...".

Nena kissed her on the cheek, "Yet you can move on, and I will always be by your side...I would never thank your cousin enough for saving your life that day...I...I wouldn't have met you or came to realize that I found love...".

Kala widened her eyes, "Wait, you don't mean...?", whispering as her heart raced, and Nena whispered, "I do mean it...I love you, Kala Mariselle...".

Tears priming at her eyes, Kala kissed her soul mate on the lips, her arms around her neck as Nena wrapped her arms around her, holding her as she kissed her back, lasting for a minute before they parted for air, panting slightly as Kala whispered, "I love you too, Nena Ramirez.".

Nena's heart skipped a beat, tears slightly peeking at her eyes, and she realized that Kala isn't going anywhere as she smiled so widely, gazing into her soul mate's eyes, and Kala blushed, smiling before she remembered something.

She then pulled back fully, taking Nena's hand, "Come on, I want to show you something...", and Nena nodded, following her lead, walking a few minutes before they came upon a small, beautiful spot of a beach within some lush greenery, with tame fireflies here and there.

"Oh, wow...This is beautiful, Kala...", Nena looked in amazement, "This is better than the few serene beaches in Mexico...", and Kala replied, "This was my secret spot to swim...I...I'm ready to try again, Nena...", with a deep breath as sometimes between dates, Nena would slowly encourage Kala through her fear of water by taking a growing bit of time to swim in free small bodies of water, like hot tubs, waterfall ponds, and such, as showers and baths weren't a problem as she can control them. This will be the first time for her to face the lake in centuries, though of course, back then, she swam naked before the accident. She was modestly dressed around Nena through in those supporting times.

"Are you sure?", Nena asked her. "I understand if you change your mind or something. We can just relax on the shore if you have second doubts and all.".

Kala replied, "You've helped me so much with my fear than anyone else had, for there's something I see and trust in you, and now since we have passed another step, I know you can make me feel safe, my love of my heart...I want to swim with you right here, right now.".

Nena's heart raced when Kala said all of that, and nodded, "Okay. And you sure the water is going to be alright? I mean, it's the end of September.", and Kala smiled warmly, "The water has been always comfortable for centuries, I suspect, due to the fact that we're under the Heart, and closer to the Earth's core, if I listened to Abraham in one of his theorical talks correctly.".

Nena smiled, "He hadn't been wrong so far. Let's do this.", stripping her new Atlantean modest clothes down to her bikini underwear, folding her clothes as she was not facing Kala for a minute, and then turned around, "You still go-", before her throat went dry, her eyes widening, and her heart skipped a beat at the sight of her soul mate.

Indeed, standing before her, with the braid freed for the first time she could remember in their courting days, flowing beautifully to her waist, Kala is truly nude, with a set of modestly gorgeous breasts that isn't too small or too big, perfectly moderate hips with legs that seem to go forever, her tattoos slightly simmering in their spots, and a beautiful, groomed vagina that seemed to have a slight ridge within her bundle of nerves, realizing vaguely that it's where her penis is hiding.

Kala whispered, "I apologize if I am overwhelming you...I usually had swum in the nude before the accident...I can get the articles back on to-", before a finger gently shushed her, her heart racing, nervous to hear Nena's words as her soulmate had become speechless when she saw Kala.

"It's okay. You're beautiful.", Nena told her as Kala blushed. "Now then... doesn't really seem fair if I'm the only one here wearing clothes...".

Kala replied as her heart skipped a beat, "I wouldn't push you if you are uncomfortable with this...", and Nena gently kissed her on the lips, "Kala, with you, I never thought I'd feel happy, and having your consideration for me is more than I've dreamed of. I want to join you too...", before taking a deep breath as she stepped back.

She took out her stretchy band, freeing her high ponytail she always preferred, letting it fall to just past mid-back, slipping off her bikini bra and underwear, and she bit her lip, looking at Kala who looked awed, "What do you think?".

Kala's heart raced as Nena's breasts looked slightly smaller than hers, yet gorgeously beautiful all the same, a deliciously perfect set of abs as Nena hadn't quit on exercising at least from her past career, wide hips that looks so tempting to be pinched, a gorgeous, slightly shaved vagina, and strong, beautiful, toned legs. "Nena...you're gorgeous...", Kala breathed huskily, allowing a bit of her male hormones.

"You're just saying that...", Nena chuckled as Kala gave a small laugh herself, "I swear, you're too modest sometimes...", and Nena smirked, "Could say the same for you.".

Kala blushed with a smile, and took Nena's hand, as she took another deep breath, "You got me, yes?", and Nena caressed her hand, smiling firmly with a loving look, "Of course...I'm right here...".

"Okay.", Kala nodded, and they walked slowly at Kala's pace, into the shallows, and Nena kept watching her, feeling the warm, comfortable water as Kala closed her eyes, taking deep breaths, feeling the slight breeze, smelling the wonderful scent of the lake, and feeling Nena's hand in hers, along with her eyes on her...

She can feel the burden she has felt for centuries slowly leaving her, and she swore that she heard her beloved cousin's voice faintly on the breeze, "If you put your mind to it, you can do anything, Kala...I know you can...".

Tears prickled at her eyes, feeling something that she hadn't felt in centuries since, the feeling of accomplishment tickling at her, encouraging her, and she opened her eyes, smiling determinedly, and looked at Nena reassuringly, "Can you let my hand go? I need both of them to swim like how I used to do.".

"Of course. Don't forget, I'm right here with you...", Nena glanced around. "Uh, just to ask a quick question... there's not like anything too dangerous in the waters that we need to worry about, do we?".

"No; not in this area at least, not for centuries.", Kala assured her which Nena took a deep breath in relief. Kala kissed her on the cheek with a smile, and Nena smiled at her, letting her hand go, following as Kala took a deep breath, and began to swim gracefully in a way Nena hadn't seen before, making her watch her intently as her heart raced, wanting to make out so badly with her.

Kala blushed as she can feel her soul mate watching, feeling more and more lightened from the burden as she smiled blissfully, unknowing how much she had missed this, feeling accomplished, yet she knew there's one last, scary step to finish.

She glanced at Nena with a smile, "Don't stop following me, hmm?", and Nena replied, "Wouldn't dream of it. I'm with you.", and Kala smiled widely before taking a deep breath and then dived, and Nena followed her immediately, their crystals lighting the way to each other as Kala held her breath, realizing that she can swim, no net anywhere, and looked at Nena who made her feel not so alone and loved.

Kala happily swam around her in her graceful dance, and Nena kept pace with her, and then she couldn't fight the urge anymore as she then kissed Kala passionately, and Kala was surprised at first before smiling through the kiss, and closed her eyes as she kissed her back just as passionately, their hands weaving through their flowing hair, their legs kicking as they exchanged a breath of life and love.

They opened their eyes and smiled at each other as they went back to the surface, with Nena surfacing first, and then after clearing her sight, she saw Kala surface, flickering her hair back with a blissful smile, looking like she was born anew of the water, looking gorgeous.

Kala felt Nena's eyes watching her and looked to see desire, and she smiled wryly as she swam closer to her, whispering, "I will let you have the reins, Nena, to ravish and make love with me on the shallows of the shore right here, right now, if you will let me have the reins, to do the same in my own place a bit later...After all, I doubt your father would want to hear us when he's visiting in your own home, hmm?", fighting her male hormones back as she wanted to feel like a woman first with Nena's style of passion and love, realizing that they are both dominant and submissive in ways.

"You can take the reins whenever you want, Kala...", Nena smiled, happy of just how much Kala was more and more putting the past behind her and slowly returning to perhaps what she was in ways before the incident.

Kala smiled, blushing, "Thank you, but I want you first...Show me how damn passionate you are, use all of that unused energy you spent training for that boxing championship into something wonderful and better. Can you do that for me?", before smiling mischievously and flirtingly, batting her eyes at her, bringing some of her boldness back of her past.

"Careful, I might get a bit too passionate...", Nena teased as Kala smirked. "Oh, I'm very much planning for that.", she said as the two women went right back into another long kiss and wrapped themselves around tightly.

Kala moaned in pleasure as she felt Nena's hands caress her like flames of desire as they kissed deeply, their tongues in a new dance they hadn't felt before as they caressed each other's lips.

Nena panted heavily as they pulled back for air before smirking and lifting Kala who shrieked in delight, "Nena!", as she walked through the water to the shallows of the shore, squeezing Kala's ass as she kissed her neck gently, causing Kala to moan, "Nena...Oh, yes, please...don't stop...", as Nena kneeled in the sand and the ripples of the lake, listening to her soulmate's pleas, "So soft and perfect, Kala...", as she kept squeezing Kala's ass and increased her ravishing of her kisses in passion, as they didn't let go of each other, still wrapped around themselves.

"So are you...", Kala said back to Nena as they continued, the two of them in the throes of passion moment after moment as they continued to kiss.

It was a while before Nena whispered with a purr, "Do you want more, my brave love?", and Kala pleaded, "Yes, yes, please!", as Nena smiled, laying her soul mate back on the sand through the shallows, and began to ravish her lower with her lips and hands, kissing and twerking her breasts and nipples, determined yet awed that she's literally learning how to ravish and soon due in time, how to make love with Kala, her amazing soul mate, right here in one of her becoming favorite places.

"Ah, yes, Nena, fuck, oh, right there!", Kala cried out in pleasure and surprise, her hands caressing through Nena's hair, feeling the fire of something new growing within her core, wanting more of that, realizing that this is how she is going to have an orgasm, like some of the stories a couple of her female friends said about.

Nena smirked, "So beautiful and so warm...Do you want me to fuck your breasts with my tongue?", with a purr as she ravished upon the breasts, her heart racing as she fell in love even more in hearing Kala's gasps and moans of pleasure.

Kala nodded furiously, "Yes, yes, I want you! Please, damn it!", as she shivered in desire at the suggestion, as the fire of her core is fed more with pleasure.

"No need to ask twice.", Nena chuckled as she went right to work, running her tongue along Kala's breasts, causing her lover to scream with pleasure as she tightened her grip around her at times.

Kala was in heaven as she screamed with pleasure with every stroke of her lover's tongue around her breasts and nipples, "Yes, yes!", almost tightening her legs closer around her, instinctively grazing her vagina against her soul mate's bundle of nerves, causing Nena to moan and groan in pleasure, causing Kala to shiver and scream even more in pleasure from the vibrations of Nena's tongue.

Nena realized that she wanted more and went to wrap her arms around Kala's back and thigh, ignoring the warm, soft sand as she moved her vagina, pressing into her lover's vagina, and began to ride her back and forth, grinding and pleasuring her as she kept licking around Kala's breasts, and then went to make gentle love bites with suckling the skin on Kala's neck, realizing that she is making love as she is hearing and feeling Kala's cries and shouts of pleasure.

Kala screamed in pleasure, "Oh, gods, please, please, don't stop!", as all of this is starting to make the fire in her core into an inferno, so close to the edge, shocked that Nena is somehow amazing at this, "Fuck! Faster, Nena, harder!", her hands grasping and caressing almost painful pleasure into Nena's hair and shoulders.
