If only she could bottle this moment so she could look at it later. It probably wouldn't ever happen again. Triton being awkward. She couldn't help but smile.

"If it makes you feel any better, I almost fainted."

"You did?" he asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Promise. I was just a little shocked, that's all."

"That's a relief," he said, kissing her forehead.

She closed her eyes and sighed softly when his lips touched her forehead. "What about you? Are you going to be okay?"

He sighed and sank a little deeper into the water.
"...I doubt I will ever be allowed to live down this incident the rest of my life."

She pulled herself into him a little more closely. "To hell with what they think. Screw 'em."

Triton raised an eyebrow.
"You truly don't care?"

She shook her head. "Nope." And she kissed him softly to emphasis the statement.

He kissed her back tenderly.
"Is that why you didn't bother to change clothes before coming down here?" he asked, gently teasing.

She raised a brow, teasing right back. "If they bother you, I can take them off."

He shrugged.
"I've never really like having wet fabric on. I prefer just the feel of water against my skin."

"Well...wet denim is really uncomfortable." She took her arms from around him and went to unfasten her jeans. "Steady me, please. This isn't exactly easy."

He carefully put his arms out to hold her steady, moving his muscular tail behind her so that she could brace against it as she needed to.

Wet fabric like to cling, and she knew she'd have an issue immediately. So she decided to do it the even easier way. She gripped the denim and pulled, tearing it unceremoniously. She had to repeat the action twice to get them all the way off. "Well, that was more effort than I thought it would be."

"Better now?" he asked.

"Almost." She took his hands and drew them to the hem of her shirt. "You want to help me out with this part?"

"I can, if you wish," he said, and worked the wet shirt over her head.

His literalness was being staunchly ignored. Once the shirt was gone, she tilted her head slightly, giving him a slightly coy look. Athena didn't know a whole lot about seduction, but she'd been picking up a few things from her half-sisters. And she was an excellent student. "Anything else you think should go?"

He raised an eyebrow.
"Anything you don't feel comfortable wearing. I'm afraid all my clothes are in pieces right now." He indicated a pile of wet rags near the edge of the pool.

She let out a sigh and shook her head, putting her arms around him again. "Triton, do you want me naked right now, or not? And I mean for reasons aside from my comfort."

For a while, he didn't say anything.
"Athena... you should probably know that the anatomy of this form is markedly different than the version with legs," he told her, "And in more ways than the obvious."

She pressed herself against him more firmly. "I'm adaptable. Now answer my question."

"Well, I've never understood the appeal of clothes in the water," he murmured, and kissed her, his hands sliding up her back to undo the clasp.

She kissed him back quite happily, moving her arms once the clasp was undo so the bra could be removed.
