that notorious sign
labeled ‘CAVES’ just ahead.”
    “ Ajani could be a tad less hostile,” Sariah
commented with a sly smirk.
    “ I don’t think he’s
capable of more than two emotions,” I countered back.
    “ What two would those
be?”
    “ Lust for your sweet ass,
and anger.”
    Between laughing I heard her ask, “I have a
sweet ass?”
    I swung an arm around her waist pulling her
to my side.
    “ Oh yes you do,” I purred
into her ear as my lips brushed into her hair.
    She leaned into me affectionately, linking
her arm with mine. Maybe this was a date after all.
     

 
     
     
     
    11: SARIAH

    “Is there a place to change?” I asked
Keegan.
    “ Probably,” he replied
looking around. “There,” he said pointing to a little nook in the
wall. It wasn’t far off and we reached it in a few strides. It was
just a little cove with a couple of wall benches. Not a lot of
privacy, but then I was just with Keegan, did I really need
privacy? I blushed at the idea. I had to admit, I wanted to see him
naked again. From what I remembered—and that was literally every
inch of him I’d ever seen—he was an Adonis of a man. Smooth,
strong, streamlined and sexy. I felt my cheeks flush at my own
photographic memory of him.
    As if on cue Keegan started peeling his
suite off his shoulders. I turned my back trying to reel myself
in.
    My swim suit was different than what I
remembered it looked like a sleeveless turtle neck leotards. I
turned back around Keegan’s s-suit was different than mine. Only
trunks that stopped at his knees. He was sitting on the bench now
putting on the webbed-socks.
    I sat down beside him and as he wiggled his
toes in the flipper.
    “ Finally,” Keegan
exclaimed. I heard the soft snap of the latex-like material against
his ankles. “That was impossible to get on.”
    “ Maybe if your feet
weren’t so large,” I commented eyeing him.
    “ Well,” he said winking,
“we all know what has been scientifically proven about
that.”
    “ I’d have to agree with
the scientists.”
    “ Would you now?” He said,
giving me a devilishly flirtatious gaze. He slid down to the floor
motioning for me to put my foot in his hand and he began peeling
the webbed socks over my toes.
    “ The longer we’re here the
more that comes back to us about First-Plane. I thought it would
dull over time.”
    “ I don’t think it will,”
said Keegan. He was concentrating on fitting in each of my toes
into the rightful slot. Like it was his sole purpose; it was kind
of adorable.
    “ We’re different from
everyone else,” I said.
    “ I know,” he agreed.
“It’ll give us an edge in battle. After this Banguri mess is sorted
out, we should try to learn more about the other cities; next foot
please.”
    I switched foots obediently.
    “ I could have put these on
myself. It’s probably would have been easier since I have smaller
hands than you,” I reasoned as I watched him start on my second
foot.
    “ I think there was another
scientific report done about men with big hands,” Keegan responded
back smiling towards my foot.
    “ What else do you remember
about First-Plane?” I asked curiously.
    “ This,” Keegan said. He
had my toes into the webbed water sock but the middle of my foot
was bare. He ran is thumb down the middle applying a firm amount of
even pressure. I felt a wave of pleasurable warmth shoot up my leg
and straight into my sex. He repeated the motion rotating his
thumbs. He looked up at me as I inhaled sharply in surprise. Our
eyes locked. I leaned forward catching his hand on my foot. With my
free hand I slipped the rest of the flipper on easily.
    “ I bet your dance card was
always full,” I teased awkwardly. I was trying to regain some type
of composure.
    He stood up, dropping my hand as he moved
off the ground.
    “ There are ones for our
hands too,” he said tossing me another pair.
    I slipped them on, wiggling my fingers when
I was done. I walked over to the bench and picked up
