Eternal Blitz

37. The Big One

Smiling against Blaze's back, I pull his body closer to mine. My usual position of little spoon is being traded tonight and I welcome the change loving the ability to hold him as close as I want.

Looking at the clock on the bedside table I see it's just past noon. I've been up for a few hours now just holding him, not wanting to wake him from such a peaceful sleep.

A low moan captures my attention, Blaze now turning into my chest as he wakes.

"I see someone finally decided to greet us." I kiss his head, sweeping his hair away from his eyes. "Sleeping beauty, we have to get ready for the day."

"Time?"

"Five past twelve. Everyone is downstairs already. I just wanted to give you time to sleep."

Blaze nods and sits up. He drags his hands down his face as he pulls himself into a fully awake state before heading to get dressed.

My eyes follow the curve of his body, the bulging of his muscles, the veins that run down his arms with each movement and I swear it's the most attractive thing I've ever seen. His tan skin glows under the sunlight peeking in from the cracked curtains and his eyes that meet mine with a shy smile. He blushes under my lust-filled gaze before turning back and pulling a shirt over his head.

Forcing myself to dress myself as well I pull on a white bikini. I may not be able to fish but I can soak up some sun while the boys do, should I be banned.

"We're having fun today. No worries, no problems." I promise, resting my chin on Blaze's chest as pulls me into him. "Come on, we have fish to catch Captain Blaze."

"Can you hand me the worms?" Gale points to the dirt-packed package of worms sitting on the small picnic table on the dock.

I cringe as I carefully pick up the open container and quickly pass them to him shaking off my hand of any dirt or worm juice on the package.

Rhea laughs at my actions, "How are you going to fish if you can't even touch worms?"

"I'm not putting it on there. No way, absolutely not."

"Baiting is a part of fishing." Blaze points with a smile laughing alongside Isabel who chimes in too.

"Don't expect much, once her mind is made nothing can change it.."

"Not even love?" Blane questions.

"Nope," I shake my head. "No worms and I'm not touching any fish either."

"And if your captain tells you to." Blaze passes one of the poles to me with a pointed look on his face.

I take the pole with a heavy sigh. "Just keep your eyes on me." he takes my free hand and places a worm on my palm.

My breath hitches as it begins wiggling, "It's moving." I whine shuddering at the feel of it against my skin, freaking out even more as it tries to escape my hand.

"It's alive." Gale teases and I toss the worm out of my hand as it touches my arm. A scream fills the air as I run to the edge of the dock and bury my hand in the water.

"No. No. No." I shake my hand furiously in the water. "You put the worm on please."

Blaze relents with a laugh and shake of his head. My mind is now giddy with pride as he hands me the now-baited pole.

"Okay, Captain Blaze. I'm ready." I call as I position the pole in my hands and practice my swing.

I jump back as the line swings past my face and the hook just barely misses me. A muscular hand catches the pole, pushing it forward and away from my face.
