Ravensblood Forest We appreciate power

She had noticed him watching, but she never minded his appreciative gaze; she rather liked it, in fact, and it only made her move through the water more slowly and deliberately. And when his look became heated, it was as if he transmitted that heat into the blood moving through her veins because she felt it everywhere. Her face showed none of her reaction, though, and although her heart was beating faster in her chest, she still commented on her displeasure with being called cute. Puppies were cute, bunnies were cute (when they weren't dinner), but Simmik was not cute. 

And his answer was  irritating as usual, which made her happy to see that her effort to splash him had been successful. But she didn't immediately say anything, she just watched him with a raised eyebrow as he joined her in the deeper water. She was going to make some comment about how she could show him how not cute she could be, but then he was diving under the water, and she was watching his blurry form moving closer to her. She jumped forward with a sharp inhale when she felt the nip to the sensitive skin on the back of her thigh, and she whirled around to face him. 

She glared at him again, offering him her own impish expression before she launched herself forward. She threw her body through the water towards him, hopefully landing her front paws on his side and pushing him back into the water. Whether or not she was successful, she quickly turned back around and swam towards the last part of the waterfall as fast as her legs would allow. If he chased her and she made it there before he caught her, she would disappear beneath the cascading water, casting him a look of invitation before the water engulfed her. She would find herself immediately in a small cave, hopping up and turning to wait for him to appear.
