How to Make Love Like SeaOtters
#8 of Underwater Fantasies
If you've ever heard the term "make love like sea-otters", well...^^
From a colleague who worked at National Geographic, and I'm not making this up:
"The sea-otter mating ritual is done this way. The male comes up behind the female in the water and bites at her nose to keep her still. The male then copulates with her. The couple takes huge breaths and then dives underwater quite deep, 100 feet or more. The sex is not complete until the male has ejaculated into the female, and will in fact not let either of them swim up for air until the act is complete."fans self
Whew. If you ever wondered why LeiLani is a sea-otter...
You can stop wondering after you read this... ^^
The day certainly seemed like something straight out of a dream. David and I had spent the whole morning together, laughing, holding webbed paws, looking like two very love-sick sea-otters. We had met only the day before, just two people who had been corresponding by mail and phone for the last six months, and everything had just clicked, I suppose.
You can see it when that happens. It's in their eyes - it's like the world doesn't exist around them, and they see and hear only each other.
Oh God yes, we were in love from the first meeting.
David squeezed my paw as we passed a rustic-looking diving shop, pointing at the rows of multi-colored scuba tanks set on display in the bay window. "Oh, it's too bad you can't scuba, Lani. Why won't you let me teach you?"
I shrugged, my body still tingling and warm. We had made love the evening before, and spent an hour afterwards holding paws in bed, our tails linked around one another (although my tail kept slipping between his thighs to caress his never-ending erection) talking quietly in the darkness, drenched in one another's perspiration, practically covered in our love juices.
When he squeezed my paw just then, all those images and words from the night before just seemed to slam into my brain all at once. I began to get incredibly wet between my legs, and I nervously hugged him from behind as he looked over the tanks, a combined effort to hide my excitement, and to grind myself against his thick tail, letting it slip between my legs and press upwards to my crotch. I hugged his thick appendage briefly with my thighs, and felt a little wetness trickling down.
ChuRRRRrrrrrr...
Damn my hormones...
"What? Oh...scuba...?" I sighed gently, nuzzling his long brown hair. Oh, why did we even get out of bed today? "Umm...yeah, I...I dunno... I just am frightened to death of having to learn all that stuff. I've heard all sorts of horror stories about things that can go wrong, like air bubbles. I so much as roll my eyes the wrong way, and I'd probably get the bends..."
Besides, I mentally added, we're sea-otters! Why in the world would we want to hinder our maneuverability with cumbersome air-tanks? It was nature's fact that we were essentially water-borne. Though we never thought to time ourselves personally, it was a given fact that sea-otters could stay underwater more than fifteen minutes at a time, and reach depths in the ocean exceeding 300 feet.
I was pulled out of my scientific observations as David laughed, a soft chuckle that had sent me into Heaven when we had first met, and turned around in my arms to kiss me. "You are blowing this way out of proportion, babe. Come on, let's at least see what they have." He took my paw again, leading me into the scuba shop.
"Snuba..." I said to no one in particular.
"Hmm?"
"There, look." I had spotted a placard advertisement perched on the front counter. It read: "Scuba weighing you down? Try the ultimate in diving pleasures: Snuba." On it, there was a beautiful sea-otter couple, swimming around what appeared to be a long tube set deep in the ocean.
"Oh my God... David.. do you realize-"
He nodded wordlessly, his eyes wide. "Wow... Th-they look like us a little..." He shivered, obviously spooked.
And they did. The male of the species had his long dark-brown hair tied back in a pony-tail, with light brownish-tan fur, and his electric blue eyes were watching his beautiful companion lovingly. She seemed more of an exotic mix of Polynesian or Tahitian, or something South Pacific in heritage, with deep-brown fur all over, waist-length, black hair waving freely around her form, and slightly-slanted, warm emerald eyes. She was looking at him quite seductively, as if she were just waiting for the moment the male would swim in reach of her, so she could grab and kiss him, maybe rip down his shorts and...
I inwardly blushed as I could see quite clearly in the picture the evidence of stiff nipples poking against the shocking pink bikini she was wearing. I looked a little closer at the picture, and I swear I could detect a rather noticeable package between the male's legs as well, a building, raging sheath you just wanted to reach out and-
Suddenly I felt David pressing up against me from behind, and I could feel his excitement, so warm and very, very hard, nestled against my jean shorts. I trembled and lifted my tail a little, welcoming him with a slow, throaty churrr. Had we not been hindered by our clothes, likely I'd have let him bend me over the counter and take me.
"Snuba sounds like a lot of fun, Lani..." He whispered softly, leaning close to my ear, "We could... "
I needed no more convincing. I thumped my paw flat on the counter to get the shopkeeper's attention.

The afternoon sun beat down on the boat deck through a cloudless, pale blue sky. We looked over the water together, holding paws. I could tell right away that David appreciated the fact that we were standing with our backs to the captain. His blue bikini briefs were strained trying to hold in his arousal and I kept shifting my footpaws back and forth, realizing my nipples were fully engorged and full. He looked at me, instantly drawn to my flowery lei anklet, and I giggled softly, lifting a leg up and letting my footpaw caress his calf, my webbed toes gently grasping and tugging at his fur. I felt him squeeze my paw a little tighter. The agonizing wait was just about over.
"Here," the old boat captain came up from behind us, his white whiskers twitching merrily. "You can dive here. Many, many places to explore yah, a reef, a cove, I tink there's a lot." He spoke with the unmistakable accent of the local island natives here in the Florida Keys, a combination of Jamaican and all points south. When he spoke, it was quiet but jovial, and I imagined in his day this handsome sea-otter had had his share of underwater trysts of his own.
We were still shaking, and I was getting an upset stomach, trying to squelch my nervousness. David couldn't take his eyes off of me and I imagined that in his mind's eyes he'd already grabbed me, pulled me overboard and into the depths, ripped off my bikini and plunged his hard cock as deep into me as it could possibly go.
I looked like an island goddess in my pink thong bikini, one I had singled out to purchase at the dive shop because it reminded us so much about the snuba ad. The bikini top had black trim around the breasts, concealing just enough of my twin tanned globes to be considered legal for a family beach. The bottoms were shocking pink, nearly fluorescent, and strapped together in a triangle with a release button, riding high on my thighs.
I found myself wondering what it would be like swimming under darker, deeper waters; the pink color was nearly dazzling against my fur, almost electric. My long black hair was loose, flying in the breeze from the ocean, reaching past my waist and over my tail. Which was starting to sway faster, like an excited puppy.
David's own blue briefs barely hid his groin and ass, sculpting a beautiful, rugged and strong swimmer's form I wanted to wrap my legs around again and again. Right now, it hardly seemed to be able contain his excitement. I shyly reached out to his belly, sliding the back of my paw down until they barely brushed across the bulge. I felt his whole body jump slightly, and the hint of his soft, full pinkish cock-tip jutted out from the waistband.
"Don't..." he whimpered, but didn't flinch away as one of my digits started caressing over the translucent pre covering the tiny slit.
I don't think I've wanted him so badly than right that moment, but I was a good girl and eased the waistband up a little, covering his full tip.
We watched breathlessly as the snuba apparatus was hooked up and then lowered into the water, maybe twenty feet from the surface.
"The water she goes good 80 feet here," the captain said, "Ya have air maybe good hour or so when yas need it. If yer havin' problems, give a tug. And be careful down there. Don't go too far ya can't find yer way back, hokay?"
We nodded wordlessly and began taking deep breaths together. David surprised me by diving off of the boat into the water. I watched his form descend briefly, kicking his legs and whipping his tail side to side, then surface again. He grinned up at me. "Oh, it's so warm, Lani...it's just perfect..." Then he took a deep breath and dived again, flipping his legs.
I dove in after him, my legs propelling me powerfully down, my toes curling with every kick, as we entered this unique world together. David took a short lead, stroking through the crystal-blue water, following a trail of reef patterns as he went. I approached a section of beautiful pastel coral and blew bubbles from my mouth to sink down against it. As excited and horny as we were, I realized we wanted to take a little time to explore our surroundings, since this was our first time here.
I quickly turned to catch up to David, who was now floating just in front of a larger bit of the reefs, about 18 feet deep, slipping his paw around and in-between the rocks embedded and covered with algae and plants.
Hmm. I was hoping he wasn't just hungry for fish!
I smiled and ran my paws slowly down his tail and the back of his calves, nuzzling his footpaw playfully, blowing a gentle trail of bubbles from my mouth over his toes. He turned his head to look at me, and blew a few bubbles back at me teasingly. Then he pushed off of the reef and headed downwards a bit deeper. I smiled and grabbed around his thick plush tail as he swam past me, and down we went together into much deeper waters.
I pulled myself up his tail and wrapped my arms around his chest mid-kick, and blew a few bubbles against his ear, my bikini top mashed against his muscular back. I felt my hard nipples first rubbed, and then massaged up and down as I clung to him tightly, letting him lead us past the reef and down to the very bottom of the sea. I glanced quickly upwards once, getting our bearings, and spotted the snuba pipe from the boat, several feet above us. We were safe for the time being.
I let go of him as we reached the bottom together, and slapped him on the butt, swimming away from him teasingly, exploring around some of the beautiful shells and rocks strewn here and there, embedded like timeless trinkets in the sand.
I felt strong paws around my belly, caressing me, and I giggle-churrrred a few bubbles from my nose, letting him hold me like this. He pressed against me, and I felt his excitement again. A few inches of his thick, swollen and throbbing arousal had wriggled free from his briefs, and was nestled gently between my thighs. I turned my head to churrrr bubbles sexily at him through pursed red lips, my eyes lidded with pleasure, and I clamped my thighs together to squeeze his cock just once. I heard his tender bubbly moan in response, and the paws around my belly gripped a little tighter.
No, not yet, my love...
I wiggled free of his grasp, turning to look at him, my legs spreading outward just a little, flashing my teeth in a bright smile. I fanned at a few tiny fishes swimming near my face and leaned my head forward, grabbing one into my mouth as an afterthought. I watched my lover, swishing the water in my full cheeks back and forth slowly before swallowing the fish, and then blew bubbles at him again.
He grinned at me, stroking his arms forward to try to swim up to me, but I giggled and kicked backwards as he came closer. His bulging member was now completely free from its cotton holding, and in full arousal. Nine inches of lovely otter-cock, swaying slowly in the water, almost hypnotizing.
I churrred a few bubbles more from my lips, approving of his body as always, and brushed my small comely footpaws over his length, my pads rubbing along the base and working upwards to clasp around the tip and hold him. I felt his raging lust pulsing between my pads, and I squeezed him as hard as I could. He moaned again, releasing a burst of bubbles from his own lips, and I churrrrrred my response, slowly pumping his cock up and down between my footpaws.
I looked up at the shimmering surface far above us as I mercilessly teased my mate, and spotted the long snuba tube about sixty feet above us.
Eighty feet under the sea. I nearly had an orgasm at the thought! We both love deep water like this. The added pressure and weight of the water surrounding us squeezed our bodies like hundreds of silky hands.
My stroking and tugging reached a tempo, and I let go of his swollen otter-cock before he could explode with cum while still in my footpaws' grasp.
David had had enough. He wasted little time, swimming up to me as I reached him, kissing my mouth deeply, his tongue slowly caressing and prodding my own into a passionate dance. A flurry of bubbles rose around us as I returned the thick kisses, running my paws over his back and shoulders, pressing him close to me.
My bare belly pressed and rubbed gently against the thick head of his engorged shaft, and a wisp of precum spilled into the depths. He broke the kiss as I was trying to undo my bikini top, and quickly pointed up. Had we really been without air that long already? I checked my vital signs inwardly. My heart was beating faster, of course, but it wasn't just from the breath-holding. I felt a little tickle, deep down in my chest, my lungs signaling me that air was needed. I nodded and followed him back up to the snuba tube, where we hugged around one another again tightly.
We both took long puffs from the mouthpiece. I pressed against him again, my paws eagerly moving between us to mold and caress his shaft, mashing it firmly against my belly as I kicked my legs a little.
I wanted to play more.
My paws gripped around his member tightly, massaging and stroking it slowly back and forth. I nuzzled against his neck, kissing and biting gently at his fur, and I felt his paws shakily tugging at my bikini string behind, finally getting the top untied.
My deeply-tanned, coconut-sized breasts swayed free from the bikini top, my huge dark nipples already aroused, swollen to twice their normal size. His head lowered down to them, and he began to kiss and lick my nipples.
I moaned at this new intrusion, bubbles rising from my parted lips now and then as I swayed my head back and forth, my long hair tangling around our bodies. My paws trembled as they came down and helped pull down his briefs, releasing him entirely to the water's caress. I used my footpaws and toes to tug and nudge the clothing down his legs and calves, and finally floating free.
I whimpered, now wanting him like never before, and quickly straddled him, reaching down between my legs to squeeze and tug hotly at his cock, jerking him off steadily.
Yes, my love, cum...let me see your cum spurting in my paw...Mmmmmm.
But David had other ideas. He wiggled free from my legs' grasp before he could take much more of my paw-job, and sank down around my crotch, slowly pushing the bikini bottom button, unclasping the strips, and nuzzling away the fabric, letting it float from my body. I now floated nude before him, like a mermaid or exotic sea siren sent from the gods themselves.
He visibly shuddered and threw his arms around my waist, kissing hard at my tummy. His paws rubbed and clenched my tight ass-cheeks as his kisses settled downwards, nosing and kissing his way down to my waiting netherlips. I moaned as I felt the first silky-warm touch of his lips against my pussy, and tried to grab his head.
Ohh, yes...kiss me there...now...
But David knew how to tease just as well as I gave. He pulled his head back up to mine and kissed me hard again, running his strong paws over my hips. My tail lashed hard to and fro, mostly out of disappointment at being delayed pleasure, and my paw sunk down between my legs to rub fitfully at my swollen mons. I churrred softly at him, letting him watch me pleasure myself for a few moments, working my webbed fingers slowly in and out, and then around my pink folds.
I was delighted to see him grasp around his hot, hard member and start to tug at it again. I licked my lips as I watched him play, and with a naughty grin I sank slowly down his body, letting some air free. I anchored myself around his thighs, and kissed the head of his swollen cock deeply, bumping it gently against my nose and whiskers before blowing another stream of bubbles.
After a few minutes of bubble-play, I rose up and then he went down on me again, grabbing my ass and pushing his muzzle into my pussy. I gasped a hard shot of bubbles as David's mouth settled against my swollen sex again, giving my labia and pink muscles slow, deep tongue-kisses in and out. I moaned hard and reached my paws down to grab his head tightly, holding him there, slowly humping myself against his mouth, my shapely legs spreading wider.
Then his lips wrapped around my clit, squeezing it several times with his mouth before raking his sharp teeth across my bud. I shuddered hard as he then gripped that warm flesh in his teeth - and started to tug.
Oh...gods...
At one point, my humping positioned against his mouth more, and I felt his warm wet tongue push and then enter deep into my folds. Yes!
A few deep tongue-fucks was all I could take. I grabbed his head in a death-grip and virtually exploded, feeling a powerful climax hit and then wash over me the length of my body. The scream that followed knocked the rest of my breath from my lungs. I wiggled free from him, still shaking as more orgasms came, and rubbed my pussy hard, kicking back up a few feet to the end of the tube for another breath.
David watched me from below, tugging at his cock quickly, dangerously close to going over the edge.
Not yet, my love...wait for me...
I reached down with my tail to tap at him, motioning him back up to join me by the tube, kicking my legs outwards and letting him see my beautiful pussy again.
He kicked back up to face me again, pressing close. We gazed at each other with longing eyes, and clung to one another for a moment, heads resting on shoulders, listening to the deep surrounding us.
I knew he needed me, and now.
I slowly lifted myself up and straddled over his shaft again, holding it between my legs, and kissing his mouth hard. In my excitement and need, I settled my paws around his hips, slowly stroking and squeezing his taut, strong asscheeks, working a paw over his tail-hole a few times as well. I pushed my breasts against his chest so he could feel my nipples digging in to his fur.
I positioned myself atop of him, taking his shaft and guiding it to my swollen, hungry slit, rubbing the head against my muscles. I strained myself not to grab him and ram his full length into me, and I let him explore my pussy slowly and gently with the tip, like a warm, thick and throbbing dildo.
He moaned hard, the sound lost in a cloud of bubbles, and bent his head to my breasts, kissing them deeply, biting at each nipple as we snuggled and continued to explore.
A gentle kick of my legs caused me to buck a little, and I felt his strong shaft nestle into my pussy tightly. I moaned again, lifting my body upwards and then letting it sink down again, surrounding his hot shaft entirely and clenching it hard. I cooed to him, a warm bubbly churrrr, and rested my head on his shoulder as we slowly made love for what seemed like several minutes.
Bubbles began to rise from us both as our passions ignited into a frenzy, shuddering against one another. My hips slammed and slapped against his thighs as I bounced and rocked atop of him, held tightly in his grip, while my pussy held him tightly, so silky and hot, squeezing his shaft again and again as he penetrated me as deeply as possible with every thrust...
With a powerful shake of my tail, I slipped free from his grasp, getting a charge of pleasure coursing through my pussy as the muscles clenched around his fat tip before letting go.
I wanted him in my mouth so badly.
I smiled sexily at him, my hair billowing up around me like a large halo, although my next act was something no angel of the seas would dare discourse. I blew my air out in a rush and sank down to his still-throbbing otter-cock, kissing and licking against his aroused, swollen length over and over. I could feel his member bob and buck against my mouth, and I playfully bumped my nose and lips along the tip. I was instantly giving a small reward for my efforts. His cock seemed to jump against my teasings and a little tendril of his cum suddenly pushed from the tiny hole.
That was all I needed. Oh...gods...mmmm...
My paw was around his thickness in a heartbeat, pumping him up and down in my grip so hard and so fast. I spat out the water that had been trapped in my mouth and went down on my David, swallowing his full cock effortlessly, clamping my lips tightly around the base of his enormous shaft and taking him down my throat. My legs sexily kicked up behind me to keep me balanced against his body, and I let him watch as one of my paws went down between my legs, rubbing hotly at my aroused, needing and hungry pussy.
I heard my lover's bubbly moan, and his large, strong paws came down to my head, holding me on his cock, grabbing my hair and nearly thrusting my head up and down upon him.
I followed his motions, bobbing my head quickly in time with his thrusts. My free paw at first wildly would go wild, jerking him off, and then I would let go and play with his furry balls, cupping them, stroking them, and firmly kneading them.
As I buried his cock deep into my throat once more, I stopped jerking his cock altogether, bringing both my paws around his hips to anchor myself and suckle him like I had never done so before. My lips tightened and pulled fiercely on his length and my tongue bathed him with a mix of my saliva and the ocean.
David was so close. I could always tell when a lover was ready to explode, and I was so eager to get every drop David could give. I could feel his whole body going into spasms and throes and jerks. And still I sucked and massaged his otter-cock with my mouth and tongue, pushing my head in to deep-throat him as best I could.
Now...mmmm, now, my love...cum for me, my baby...
As my teeth grazed across his length once more, he suddenly went rigid against me, and I was further rewarded. In mid-suckle, my lover came, harder and longer than I could ever remember. I felt his warm cream spurt into my mouth over and over again, and my paw shook as it immediately left his hip and grabbed around his shaft base, pumping it for all it could give me. With a loud cry of bubbles he came harder, much harder than I had ever expected. My mouth was half-full of his seed and still my lover kept cumming!
More, my baby...yes, more! Oh so much more, my love...ohhh...
My cheeks puffed outwards, swollen and almost completely full of my lover's cum. I had to pull off of him a little, holding him in my mouth just around the bursting tip to keep from gagging on his sweet cream. David's whole body went limp, tightened, went limp again, tightened, as he gave me spurt after spurt, crying out his release.
My mouth was now completely filled. I quickly let go of his cock altogether, letting the last of his seed spill into the sea in short tendrils and puffs, and blew a bit of his sweet cum in a cascade of bubbles and milky clouds against his cock.
I needed air again and quickly pulled away from him, trying to kick up for a breath from the snuba. His strong paws suddenly grabbed around my footpaw, pulling me, dragging me back down into his arms tightly, kissing me so wildly and passionately. I bubbled, wisps of cum slipping from between my lips as I hungry sought his kisses. I felt his chest push outwards against my breasts, and my lungs were briefly filled with his air. I was still so incredibly horny and hot, and his feverish undersea kisses were driving me crazy with need.
David could sense how badly I was shaking. He brought his paw down to slip between my thighs, slowly rubbing my aching pussy. I responded, kicking my legs slowly against his, grabbing at his paw and mashing it against my folds. He looked into my eyes and smiled. I churrrrred a string of bubbles from my mouth, a few flecks of cum escaping into the water, and eagerly rubbed his paw against me.
My own paw grabbed around his limp member and I felt him grow in my grasp to his full hot length again.
I excitedly straddled over his erection again, clenching it between my thighs, still shuddering all over. Tendrils of his cum floated still around our legs, and we smiled at each other, fanning them away. I shuddered hard, churrring with that same need and I felt his paws coming up around my butt. I didn't want to wait any longer.
He lifted me over him and then slowly back down onto his throbbing cock, and my eyes widened as my lover took me even more deeply than before. He slid in and out of me as though I were bathed in scented oils, and I quickly grabbed his waist with my legs, my heels around his butt. We made love again, slowly, enjoying the motion of the sea's caress, our bubbly sounds, and the warmth of our bodies.
It never occurred to either of us that we hadn't had a breath in such a long time.
But I was beyond caring. I suddenly wrapped my arms around his shoulders, pushed forward and tipped us both upside-down, trying to kick my legs now to propel us down. He understood what I wanted and kicked hard against my own frog-kicks, and the two of us dove deeper and deeper into the sea, wrapped around one another. His cock still pistoning in and out of my swollen pussy and we kicked strongly downwards, making a slow, exhilirating plunge.
Oh wow, I thought, as we dove. This is how seaotters do it. Ohhh, David...
My breath began to stream slowly from my nose as we descended deeper and deeper. The waters grew cold again, a bit darker, as he bucked his hips back and forth against mine.
The deep water soon had the effect I had been waiting for, pushing and pressing down me, on us, perhaps trying to keep us there in the watery depths forever. I slowly kicked my legs outwards, massaging his shaft heavily inside of me, every kick causing us to rock even more. My legs wrapped tightly around his waist as we finally reached the bottom in a flurry of bubbles and righted ourselves, my body still atop of him. I needed to cum so much, but my lungs were searing in pain now.
I couldn't take it anymore...I had forgotten to breathe...
David was looking at me, his eyes glazed over, plunging inside of my sweet depths again and again on the sandy bottom of the sea. Our faces were turning red from a combination of exertion and breath-holding. I began to bubble urgently through parted lips, letting out whimpers and moans, legs squeezing around my lover's waist, my pussy trying to strangle his shaft...
Oh gods, we were going to drown...!
I tried to squirm free, realization suddenly slamming into me, but my legs refused to obey, and my sex tightened and clenched my lover all the more...
Just then, he started to cum - the force of it incredible against my pussy. I cried out once more and hugged tightly to his shoulders as his seed spilled into my body, and my own hard shuddering orgasm followed. I felt my love juices releasing and coating his shaft over and over as I bucked against him weakly. My silky wet pussy massaged and teased his shaft, milking it, draining it...
We settled there on the bottom, sp spent we were unable to move. I closed my eyes and hugged around my lover as tightly as I could, ready to accept the sea into my lungs...
Suddenly I felt something brush against my back. I blindly turned my head to see the blurry, fading vision of the boat captain, urgently shaking a paw at us, holding a scuba tank. My eyes began to close for good, and then I felt the rubber of a regulator pushing into my mouth. Without even thinking, I grabbed it and clamped it tightly, taking long, hard gasps of air. I then passed the mouthpiece to David, who took a shuddering, bubbly breath from the tank as well.
We knelt there on the sandy bottom for a few minutes, the three of us, passing the mouthpiece back and forth, although my legs were still tight around my lover's waist, and his shaft was still buried deep inside of me. He settled his head against my breasts, stroking my hips as he took one last breath, and motioned upwards again.
Smiling weakly, I kicked my legs and slowly pulled from his shaft. He grasped for my paw, helping me up from the bottom, and using our legs together, we pushed off and began the long ascent for air.
The captain followed closely behind us, our life-line, and as we went, he would share the air-tank with us again.
As our heads broke the surface we gasped and choked and coughed. I immediately turned in the water and spat out a ton of sea-water. David was clinging to me, coughing and gagging a bit. I pressed against him and churrrrrred softly, to let him know I was alright and then, yes, it had been the best sex we had ever had.
Blushing badly, we waited as the boat captain came to the side of the deck, ascended the ladder and then reached a paw down to help us out.
"W-We-" I started to explain breathlessly.
The captain laughed softly, stopping my words. He tossed two large beach towels to us and we hurriedly wrapped ourselves up and stumbled aboard the boat, sitting down and shaking terribly. Not a word was said as we were given a change of clothes and a hot mug of tea. We just sat there, feeling incredibly embarrassed and warm at the same time, as the boat made port back to the island's dock again.
We were just stepping off the boat onto the pier when the captain approached us.
"You will dive again soon? Perhaps I not have to save you next time, yah?" he smiled to us, his eyes bright and cheerful.
We both began blushing, and looked at one another.
"H-how did you know that we were... I mean..." I spoke up, still trembling.
The captain smiled and motioned to us to follow him, leading us inside the boat room to the main control. We gasped as we looked down through the glass-bottom rectangle, then up at the captain. This time, he was the one to blush.
"I knew you were diving strange waters," he said softly, "I had to keep eyes on you, yah?"
We looked down through the glass together and held paws. I smiled and looked at him. "Um.. you're not going to.. um.. tell anyone about this, right?"
The captain smiled and shrugged, "What is to tell? A young couple in love, they want to explore true beauty of the sea. Not much a tale, yah?"
David and I breathed a sigh and looked at one another, smiling. Then saying goodbye to the captain, we walked down the pier arm-in-arm, promising to return again soon.
