The cold splash of water on his body was one thing, but what truly distracted him from his end goal was Abellona. Her soaked clothes clung tightly to her body as she held onto him, pulling him closer.
Damon bit his lips.
'Oh goddess, you are testing me… I am a weak, weak man.'
She was literally trying to push herself on him, but Damon persevered. Not out of virtue, but simply because he wanted to.
"Stay still."
Abellona smiled and stayed still. The creek wasn't deep, which was a relief. The water reached only to their waists.
Damon dunked her into the water a few times, holding her head down just long enough before pulling it back out. He let his mind drift, ensuring her body was thoroughly soaked before he lifted her head again.
Abellona gasped, short of breath, water dripping down her face. Her eyes cleared slightly, some of her senses returning.
"Are… are you trying to drown me?"
Damon smiled lightly.
"No, but I'll need you to change out of those…"
