Forbidden Love

"Love, could you help me with getting the others lunch ready?" She asks and I give her a smile with a nod. We were heading to the beach today and now that my wounds were done healing and only a dull ache remained, I was able to persuade Alma that I was alright to help out with things. We were busy working in the kitchen and I was assigned to make the children's lunchs today. Fiona wanted to pack an apple with her today and I needed to use a knife to cut it. When I get an apple and sit it on the counter, I got to grab the knife. When I take it and move it over to the apple, the feel of it makes me pause. This feels almost the same as the one I used on-

"Y/n?" I jump for a moment when I heard Almas voice and glance over. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." I say with a small smile and she then looks away as she continued putting the plates and cups away. I look back down to the apple and place the knife on the top of it. I went to press down but when I did, I heard someone.

"Remind you of something?" I hear him say and I dropped the knife on the side of the counter and glance over to see him until he shortly disappeared.

"Y/n?" I glance over to her and I see her paused halfway with putting a plate in the cupboard with a look of confusion spreading across her feature.

~~~Time skip to trip to the beach~~

"Are you sure nothing's going on?" She asks and I sigh with a smile.

"I'm sure." I reply. The children and us were now heading to the beach outside in Wales.

"Well, no matter what I'm not believing you." She smirks as she looks over at me, her blue eyes shining.

"I didn't expect you to." I flirt back making her chuckle a bit. A few moments passed where the only thing you could hear was the grass underneath our shoes as the children ran ahead when they see the ocean. I hear the flap of wings from behind me and look over to see Alma fly ahead and I laugh before I run after her. We make it to the shoreline where she was waiting for me while the children ran in.

"That is not fair." I pant out with a smile and she tilts my chin up before planting a quick kiss making me feel flustered. Before I could do anything, she turns back into the falcon and flies overhead the water, hovering for a moment above it until she transformed back mid-air and fell into the water. "Show off." I mutter with a smile as I walk into the cold water. I make my way over to the spot where she was and jump when I felt someone's hands on my shoulders from behind me. I see the taloned hands and relax when she moves over in front of me with a playful smile.

"What did you call me?" She says and I roll my eyes with a smile.

"I didn't call you anything." I say with a smirk and she moves near me, her nose only inches away from mine.

"What are you doing, bluebird?" I ask and suddenly I feel her hands skimming down my thigh. My eyes widen as I feel myself heat up and give her a don't you dare look. "Don't you dare do it." I warn and she gives me an innocent look.

"Do what, love?" She asks and I feel her hand move further down until she's near my ankles and then she stops. I look her in the eyes as she gives me a daring look.

"Don't. You. Dare." I warn as I narrow my eyes at her and she sighs as if in defeat.

"Fine, dear." She releases my ankles and I thought for sure she was done.

"Now-" when I went to turn, she quickly grabbed my ankles and pulled me under, cutting my words off. I resurface quickly and see her laughing and trying to swim away but I quickly catch up. I jump onto her back, causing her to falter and a smile spreads across my face.

"Y/n." She warns and I smile when I see a smile on her face. "Get off."

"Nope, I'm staying right here and there's nothing you can do about it." I say and she scoffs but then I quickly plant a kiss on her cheek causing her to smile.

"You know you love me." I flirt and she laughs a little.

"I do and that's exactly why I'm not throwing you off me."
