Life's New Adventures and Secrets

Chapter 21

Night soon came and it was time for Steeljaw to show Strongarm the big surprise, "Be good for Wheeljack and Arcee, you hear?" Steeljaw tells his son as he drops him off at Wheeljack's and Arcee's quarters.

"I will," Nightback replied as his parents left.

"Now will you tell me where we're going?" Strongarm asked with a chuckle.

"You'll see," Steeljaw replies as they walk up to the Alchemor where Soundwave was, "Ready, Soundwave."

Soundwave opened the Ground Bridge for them.

Steeljaw leads her through and onto an island where no humans are, and Strongarm goes over to a cliff where she looks out over the ocean. The sun was setting and the glow of it shimmered off the water, "Steejaw, this is beautiful."

"Not as beautiful as you my sweetspark," he purred as he approached her from behind, pulling her close to him.

She starts blushing as Steeljaw leads her down to the beach where a blanket is set out with some electrical rods surrounding it, "Oh, Steeljaw."

Steeljaw led her over to the blanket and sat her down before pulling out some Energon cubes and sitting down behind her. He gave her a cube of Energon and then hugged her, "I thought we would drink some Energon while watching the sunset."

Taking the cube she looked back to the sunset, "So, this is why you were using the Ground Bridge so much earlier," she chuckled as she took a sip of the Energon.

"Yep, I was setting this all up for tonight."

"You are so sweet."

"All thanks to you my sweet."

Strongarm blushed as she took a look at the ocean, the golden sun's rays reflecting on the water. "It's hard to believe not too long ago I was running around playing with femmes' sparks and just messing around with them never seeing myself falling in love or settling down with a mate. But now I'm celebrating five years of mating with the love of my life, my one true love."

Strongarm kissed him passionately as she caressed his cheek, "Just like I never thought about having a mate of my own, or a family. I'm glad to be your mate, Steeljaw, and you're my true love."

He smiles at her before kissing her passionately. Strongarm set the cube on the ground as she continued to caress his cheek and his back. The sun had set and there was just a night sky as the electrical rods brightened up even more. Strongarm broke the kiss to look, "Nice touch."

"Thank you," he said as he kissed down her jaw to her neck.

"Want to know what I always wanted to try?"

"What do you have planned in that smart mind?"

"It's something humans call skinny-dipping," she replied as she got up and walked backward, heading towards the water.

"Skinny-dipping?" He asked as he followed her.

"It's something humans do where they go swimming naked," she replied a bit seductively as she started taking off her armor.

"Naked you say?" He asked as he watched her take off her armor. Humans may be odd but they come up with some interesting ways to have fun. He thinks to himself as he follows after his mate, taking off his own armor as well. 

She finishes taking off her armor and goes into the water, she playfully splashes some water toward Steeljaw, splashing him. Steeljaw countered with his own playful splashes and she screamed with laughter as she went deeper into the water. With a chuckle, Steeljaw went under the water, swimming closer to her. Strongarm was swimming backward trying to get away from him and Steeljaw chuckled as he swam after her. She does backstrokes as she watches him swim closer to her.

"Are you trying to get away from me?" He asked teasingly.

"Yes, see it as a swimming version of that game we played in the woods that one time," she replies with a giggle as she changes direction and swims to the shore still going backward.

"Challenge accepted," he said with a smirk as he picked up speed and she swam faster trying to keep out of his reach. Going under the water again he made his way to her. She goes under as well and swims away from him.

You can't get away from me that easily, sweetspark. He tells her as he follows after her. Once he was close enough he reached out for her servo but she pulled to the surface and went in another direction before he could grab it. Staying under the water he followed after her. Turning onto his back he had a clear view of her body. Nice aft. He purred seductively.

Thank you, love. She turned to look and see where he was but couldn't see him.

Swimming closer to the surface he was directly underneath her. His arms broke the surface as he pulled her into a hug from behind, "I got you," he crooned as soon as he was above the water.

She gasped as she looked behind her, "Damn, you caught me," she says with a giggle.

"Are you sure you didn't let me catch you?" He teased as he kissed her down her neck.

She turned around to face him, "I'm sure."

"Let's get out of the water and go back to the blanket," Steeljaw said before heading towards shore. They got out of the water, made their way over to the blanket, and sat back down. Steeljaw picked up a cube of Energon, "Shall we finish this?"

Strongarm picked up the other cube, "Yeah, don't want to let it go to waste," she said as she started drinking.

They sit there in silence just enjoying each other's company as they finish off the Energon cubes. They finished off the Energon and put the empty cubes down on the ground as they looked up at the night sky. There was a full moon tonight accompanied by the stars, everything was perfect.

Steeljaw moved to situate himself behind her so he could wrap his arms around her as his tail slithers around her waist. She snuggled up against him enjoying his embrace as she looked into his optics. He stared into her beautiful optics with a loving smile, "I love you," he whispered as he nuzzled her nose with his.

"I love you too," she said as she nuzzled him back, "Got anything else planned?"

"Not at the moment I'm afraid. Is there anything else you want to do?"

"I thought we could dance under the stars."

"That sounds like fun," he replied as he started getting up. Strongarm got up and went to get her armor so she could put it on. He followed after her, putting his own armor back on as well. Once they were done, Strongarm looked at Steeljaw, "So, what song are we gonna dance to?"

Taking her servos in his he searched the radio for the familiar tune. Hearing the soft melody he placed a servo on her back, pulling her closer to him...

"One, you're like a dream come true.

Two, just want to be here with you..."

She giggled at the familiar song, "We're dancing to our song. I still remember when you first played this song."

He smiled at her, "So do I," he whispered as he looked at her lovingly.

Strongarm smiled as she rested her helm on his chest. Steeljaw rested his chin on her helm as he swayed to the music while it played on. Looking up for a moment at the night sky he wished that they could stay here forever. Neither of them said anything, not wanting to disturb the song. His tail wrapped around her waist as they danced under the moonlight. She just smiled, enjoying the moment.
