Lovers

After breakfast Rylee, Ethan, Brooklyn, and Queen Victoria all followed Jackson to a storage area on the yacht where Jackson keeps scuba gear and other recreational equipment stored.

"Is everyone here an experienced diver?" Jackson ask, he knows Ethan has a tec diving certification just like him. He and Ethan go deep diving below 130 feet together quite often. They both have special high capacity cylinders, sophisticated dive computers and rebreathers some of the most high tech equipment available. However he didn't know about the others.

" Yes, just recreational" Queen Victoria replied

Okay, Aunt Vicky you won't be able to explore all of the ship wreck, only the bow of the ship, the rest of the ship is below 130 feet, Jackson has wet suits and dive computers over there. Go on over and get you one. " Ethan instructed, " you can get your tank from over there in the rack"He pointed towards a rack against the wall with air tanks secured in it.

"Rylee what about you have you been diving before?" Jackson ask,

" Yes in Jamaica with my mom every year." She replied

" Just Recreational?" Ethan ask

" Yes"

"Okay grab your gear over there where Aunt Vicky is and you're on 130 foot restriction too." Ethan instructed,

" What about you Brooklyn? Jackson ask

" I know 130 foot restrictions, wet suit and dive computer over there." She said, pointing over where the other ladies were already putting on wetsuits."

Jackson shrugged, " Well it looks like it's just me and you again."

Ethan nodded and went to a different area to get his gear. After going diving with Jackson a few times in the past he bought his own gear to keep on Jackson's yacht.

"Okay ladies all three of you stay together, everyone needs a dive buddy, since there's only three of you. If one person gets in trouble you all head to the surface together. Me and Ethan are going to explore the deeper parts of the ship wreck but we won't stay down longer then forty minutes."

Jackson explained

After everyone put on their dive gear and walked out onto the dive platform Jackson and Ethan helped the ladies go into the water safely. Waited for the ladies to resurface Before jumping into the water themselves. Everyone descend down into the water all swimming along together until the ladies stopped to watch some colorful fish swimming. After watching the fish swim, all three of them made a narrow escape from a jellyfish and they also watched a sea turtle swimming.

Jackson and Ethan didn't waste any time looking at the aquatic life, they headed down deep into the water straight to the old ship wreck to explore it's dark depths. They swam through the dark passage ways exploring the cabins and the wheelhouse they swam along a long pole to the crows nest that wasn't no more than a rusty metal bar.

They also swam down inside the cargo area where Jackson found an old coin and Ethan found a spoon . After exploring most of the old ship they headed back up to the bow of the ship where they expected to find the ladies. They glanced around not seeing them anywhere around,so they swam back into the direction they last seen them.

After swimming about twenty yards they found Queen Victoria and Brooklyn waving frantically at Rylee. Ethan and Jackson both swam through the water like they were being chased by a shark to see what got Queen Victoria and Brooklyn so worked up.

Jackson arrived first with Ethan hot on his trail. Jackson searched the area where Rylee was swimming around.Looking for what was causing the other two women to panic. To see the crazy girl playing with a puffer fish like a puppy she found in the park.

It would swim around her and stop in front of her face. She puffed her cheeks and then it would puff up. Then she swam around it and it puffed up again and she would do the same.

Very carefully Jackson swam over to where Rylee was playing with the deadly poisonous puffer fish. Grabbing her hand and pulling her back to where everyone else was. After getting everyone a safe distance away from the puffer fish he pointed to the surface of the water.

They all climbing onto the dive platform and let out a breath of relief.

Everyone except Ethan, Grabbing her shoulders he yelled " Do you know what kinda fish that was?"

"Yes,a puffer fish"she replied, pulling her brows tightly together as she wondered what his problem was.

" Rylee your not supposed to play with puffer fish. They carry a deadly toxins in their skin and in their spikes. He explained pulling her in for a hug his voice softened "Baby I know you're a vampire and it might not have killed you. But if you accidentally touched one of those spikes I'm sure it would probably make you extremely sick."

" Okay, okay, don't get all bent out of shape."she huffed pushing him away.

"Oh lord girl ,you're going to give me a heart attack, come on" he groaned as he snatched their swim fins up and headed for the storage room pulling her along with him.

Queen Victoria slowly turned her head to look at Jackson, she ask, " What was that all about?"

Jackson shrugged " Lovers quarrel "

Miles away on Black Rock Island

It was approaching eight o'clock but Van and Harper were still in bed. Petting and cuddling. She laid on her side in his arms, resting her head on his bare muscular chest with her arm laying across his midsection. He held her in his arms and underneath the cover their legs intertwined as he caressed her hip with his palm.

" We need to get dressed and go down for breakfast, " she reminded him

" No we don't" He replied, as he reached his long arm over to the nightstand grabbing his phone. He called Delaney and had breakfast sent to their room determined not to let her out of his arms now that he has his demon under control.

Last night was somewhat of a challenge he never expected it to be that hard.

Luckily for him it was really dark in the room last night. His demon slipped out several times while he was holding her.

However last night was a blissful night of discovery. He discovered when he kissed and sucked on her neck, well kissing in general, she became aroused amplifying her sweet seductive scent.

At one point he even felt his fangs trying to come out . However that was only in a slightly heated make out session involving kissing and caressing her soft skin underneath the t-shirt she was wearing. It was only her hip and side with an occasional graze of his thumb on the side of her firm breast.

However the heavenly taste of her delicious sweet mouth mixed with the erotic scent of her blood amplified by her arousal caused him to become distracted. Giving his demon ample opportunity to claw its way to the surface. Luckily he pushed the damm beast back before he sunk his fangs in her tender neck.

That would be disastrous, at this point she might flip out. She's under the impression that he's a vampire.Vampires suck blood when mating, but that's not the case with demons. Demons injected their venom into their mate, leaving their scent and a visible mark on their mates neck.

He's not really sure how he is going to explain this to her,but one thing is for sure he needs to mark her soon. If he doesn't when they reach Vital she will never be able to leave his sight. With the scent of a witch her life will be in danger. Witch hunters will come out of the wood work determined to end her life. And if any of those lascivious bastards find out that she is ignorant of her heritage the blood shed and carnage will be unimaginable, if any of them dares to approach her they will find themselves facing his wrath.

Suddenly the sound of a knock at the door brought him out of the murderous thoughts that had started to creep uncontrollably into his mind. He walked over taking the bed tray from Delaney without a word and closing the door behind him. Stalking back over to the bed he set the tray on the bed between Harper and himself.

" Darling would you like to go to the beach after we eat?" He ask, knowing that was something she was interested in experiencing.

" Yes" she smiled, with her emerald eyes gleaming with happiness.

" Did you bring a swimsuit or is it with your things I've already shipped to Vital?" He asked,

"Actually I packed two one for swimming and one only to tan in."

" Is there a difference sweetheart" he ask, pausing the coffee cup he was about to lift to his sexy lips.

" Well yes, the one for tanning is only if there happens to be a private area to catch some sun with nobody else around." She explained

" Darling, there's nobody on this island except Delaney and his wife the caterers aren't expected until two o'clock today, if you want to tan this is the perfect time."

" Are you sure?"

"Yes Darling, now go,put your tanning swimsuit on." He coaxed her waving his hands towards the bathroom.

A few minutes later she came back wearing a black sheer flowing beach cover up tied in the front and a pair of black sandals with golden accents.

"Let me see what a tanning swimsuit looks like Darling."

Slowly she opened the front of the flowing sheer cover up revealing a black micro bikini, two small triangles covered part of her perky breast with two small strings going around her neck and back. The bottom part also black ,was made in the style of a pair of very low cut thong panties that also tied on the side with thin strings.

He whistled and rubbed his chin like he was deep in thought " You're right Darling,"this" he pointed towards the sexy black swimsuit

" this ,you are not allowed to wear in front of anyone other than me."
