Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea

With a fluid grace, Caedes shifted his imposing frame to sit beside Mariah, sending a thrill of exhilaration through her body. His sleek fur rippled with each movement, revealing the powerful muscles that lay beneath. She couldn't help but feel a mixture of fear and fascination at the sight of him, his strength both intimidating and alluring. As he turned his emerald gaze towards her, there was a hint of softness in his predatory stare, as if recognizing the shared resonance of their experiences. Mariah found herself captivated by the depth in his eyes, almost losing herself in their mesmerizing color. Despite his formidable appearance, there was an unspoken connection between them, a silent acknowledgement of their words and experiences that transcended the physical realm. Every fiber of her being was drawn to him, like a moth to a flame, and she couldn't resist inching closer to the subject of her transfixion.

His words were like a deep, rumbling thunder that rolled through the air, capturing Mariah's attention and holding it in a tight grip. The way he spoke of imperfections as marks of resilience struck a chord within her, and she couldn't help but feel a strong- but confusing sense of attachment to this mysterious brute. As he acknowledged the constant battle between weakness and strength, finding beauty in the scars that shaped them, Mariah was left in awe. It was as if he saw beyond the surface, delving into the depths of her soul and acknowledging the inner strength that belied her outward fragility.

As he lowered his head, tilting it to bring his face closer to Mariah's, she felt a rush of both excitement and fear. The heat emanating from him was overwhelming, and she couldn't resist the strong pull that seemed to draw her towards him. Their bodies were so close now, their breaths mingling in the salty ocean air as they stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the vast expanse of blue waters. His words, a playful confession of his beliefs, hung in the air like a tempting invitation, stirring up a sense of longing and anticipation within Mariah for what was to come. His request for her name was delivered with a commanding gaze, as if daring her to refuse. A shiver ran down her spine in response and she couldn't help but comply. "Mariah," she murmured, the sound of her voice echoing softly against the stillness of the cliffs. Her silver eyes met his intense emerald gaze, a spark of curiosity and defiance flickering within them. "And yours?" she added, her question carrying a subtle challenge, an invitation for him to reveal the depths of his own being. The wind whipped around them, carrying the scent of saltwater and wildflowers. The waves crashed against the rocks below, their rhythmic roar adding to the charged atmosphere between the two strangers.
