Feeling everything

The splash of water against the skin, so close to your shoulder now. A slight shift in position – a hint more curve visible beneath the strap of the dress. A tilt of the head, just enough to catch the light reflecting in her eyes as she turns towards you. The faintest blush on her lips, perhaps from the coolness of the sea or the trace of warmth that radiates when your gaze lingers. A shiver, a perfect match for the feeling – and then, the subtle return to stillness.”
