Raigryn Vayd Test

Still regather his breath, Rayth turned in the pool to watch her walk away. A moment of appreciation before he drew himself to his feet. He could stay in water for a long time, but the heat was getting too much. Rayth waded into the deeper water just to rinse the sweat from his shoulders and...

Rayth dragged his fingertips through damp hair. He followed the arch of her spine and let out a soft sigh. "I missed you too." They had started to grow comfortable, to think that they had left their pursuit behind. This time, even with her father's promises, he wouldn't stop looking over his...

If they had been still, the warm water would have shielded him from the chill air. Instead there was now a prickly warmth spreading across his skin. His skin was slippery with sweat where she rested her hands on his shoulders. "I hope..." he quietly sighed before interrupting himself by...

It was a very difficult question. She turned slowly, deliberately. Artistry in motion. It was an unfair question. How could he possibly choose? Rayth placed both of his hands on her shoulders. Gentle and slow, they traced down the graceful contours of her form, followed every step by his gaze...

"Rayth: a rake, a rascal and a rapscallion," he chuckled softly. His voice remained light and airy, but his eyebrows drew close together as her hand slipped below the surface. After their troubles had been weighing so heavily upon their shoulders, she managed to make him feel entirely...

"Over there?" he asked playfully. His gaze chased after those droplets, taking in every graceful curve. Once again, he made no attempt to hide what caught his attention. He audibly drew in a long breath through his nose, letting out as a soft whimper. Rayth smiled as he slowly waded towards her...

"I..." he said, as he let the last of his clothes pool at his feet, "...reserve the right to change my mind on which view I prefer. As the mood takes me, you might say." That, as far as he was concerned, covered undressing and other occasions where the angle of his view might be important to...

"Who says..." Rayth started to ask as she turned about, "...that this was not the view I was after in the first place?" He made no move from his rock as she slowly slipped into the water. Despite enjoying this game it looked divine. Crystal clear water taking on a slight turquoise hue. Steam...

Rayth let his eyes take the slow, scenic route from her bare toes to her fingers hovering threateningly over the top button. Even if he had been a prince of some minor kingdom, he had left that life behind many years ago. By contrast Eislyn had been a prim and proper diplomat when they had first...

His eyes widened in shock at the sight before him. He'd never seen a hot spring before. It was actually warm enough that steam was rising from the surface. Rayth stooped down to brush his fingertips through the water. It sent little ripples spreading out across the surface, intersecting with...

"Oh..." he went, probably worrying her that he did not in fact like it. "I...I can't believe this..." Rayth said, his voice rising in pitch. "I was expecting a little gift or..." He did miss the sea. After years of being on the waves he found the sound of them climbing the shingle shore...

"I'm not peeking!" Rayth protested, even as he flsyfully tried to duck under her hands. His eyes remained shut. Life had started to feel a little easier, a bit lighter. Her home city was still at their backs and he found himself looking over his shoulder frequently. Her father had a long...

When Eislyn's fingertips delved into his hair and a gentle caress became a tight grip he felt his pulse jump. It made him wish they were far from here, somewhere safe. It was easy to forget where he was when he was with Eislyn. Easy to ignore the rest of the world. Rayth turned his head to...

Rayth slowly tilted his head back to face her. Everything had happened so quickly, the twists and turns so unexpected from the point he met her father. His expectations had been low, walking into that castle. Part of him had started to accept that he would never come out of it again. "We...
