She hadn't even stopped to consider that if women wore barely nothing in the water, then men probably didn't either. Sure, she'd seen Frost and Henry nude plenty of times when they were shifting and stuff but since Ashton was so awkward about clothing coming off, she didn't assume that he would be taking any off this time. Plus, man, the guy was built. He should be warding off the strangers in bars left and right looking like that. She swallowed and looked down at the sand to compose herself, letting out a soft breath. He grabbed his board and headed toward the water and she went to follow him. She didn't mind the view too much from back here either. She tilted her head a little but cleared her throat and straightened back up after a few seconds. Yeah, she really needed to do something about her hormones. She could only hope that Ashton didn't mind too much that she was in a bikini. She'd hate to have to figure out this whole swimming thing with a scratchy shirt and shorts on. When she looked up at Ashton, she swore she saw something there for a minute, some kind of discomfort, but then he cleared his throat and said to get in the water so she nodded and stepped in. A squeal leapt from her throat as her toes sunk into the water. "It's so freaking COLD!" She wrapped her arms around herself. She didn't remember the creeks and stuff being this cold! Plus she had her nice fur coat then but still! How was she going to be able to do this? She started shivering, her teeth chattering as she looked to Ashton. "Aren't you freezing?" She couldn't understand how could he stand there so nonchalantly in the water. He only went deeper then, only stopping when he was waist deep. She took a few deep breaths and clenched her jaw as she stepped in a little more. It came up to her ankles and she shrieked again through her gritted teeth. Taking some more deep breaths, she went a little further, the water hitting her knees this time. She jumped, her head snapping to Ashton when he told her to look at the board. She needed some sort of distraction right now. Her brow lifted as she looked at the board floating on the water. Her lips turned up in a scowl. "How does it do that?" Then he told her to get on the board on her stomach and paddle. She laughed. "You want me..." She pointed to herself. "To go over there..." She pointed at him. "And get on that board? In this water?" She pointed down at the water. Finally she sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine, just...give me a minute." She took some more deep breaths before gritting her teeth and plunging forward toward him and the board. By the time she put her hand on the board, her teeth was chattering again and she scowled at him. "Happy now?" Then she looked at the board. "Now how do I get on this thing? It moves." |
