It was true — Riley didn’t need to be asked twice.

He watched with wordless admiration as she stepped back into the water; she was so resilient. So strong. An Amazon, truthfully — and somehow, she’d picked him.

Riley started from his reverie as she flicked water upon him. A playful growl left his lips as he sensed the deepening scent her tail fanned into the air.

No, he didn’t need a second invitation at all — though as he made his way towards her and the watery embrace, his stomach sucked in with the cold chill of the river.

Even the icy touch of the water did not douse the burning of his longing; Riley found the stone in which she anchored and worked carefully towards her, gentle in his touch but no less fervent as their bodies entwined beneath the cascade of glittering riverwater.

This — and many other moments — he would treasure, and he would hold them as tightly to his chest as he did to Masque that night, thinking of how neatly her little puzzle piece fit into his own, and how he would do anything to keep it that way forever.
