Ethernal Bounds: Love In The Underwater Domain

Chapter 8 Eat More

As Samaya awoke to the tantalizing aroma of fresh fish, her senses immediately sharpened. The scent of the ocean mingled with the savory fragrance of the generous portion of freshly prepared meat, arranged neatly on large leaves, its golden-brown skin glistening under the dappled moonlight that filtered through the canopy above. The sight of it sparked hunger in her belly, and she sat up, scanning her surroundings for any sign of the male who had provided this unexpected feast. However, he was nowhere to be seen.

Her initial hesitation about eating raw fish faded as she recalled her love for sushi, which was also raw and had never caused her any discomfort. With a hint of trepidation, she picked up a piece of the uncooked fish, its flesh tender and flaky, and took a tentative bite. She expected a bland or unpleasant taste, but instead, she was greeted by a burst of flavors. To her surprise, the flavors exploded on her tongue-subtle hints of sea salt complemented by the natural sweetness of the fish. Each mouthful was a revelation, filling her with a sense of nourishment and comfort that she hadn't realized she craved.

Feeling a twinge of guilt about accepting such a gift from a stranger, Samaya paused momentarily. Yet, she reasoned that the meat would go to waste if left untouched. With each bite, the savory goodness of the fish filled her with renewed energy and satisfaction. Strangely, no matter how much she ate, the mound of meat before her seemed to remain plentiful. Samaya ate until her hunger was fully sated, marveling at the deliciousness of the food provided by the mysterious male. As she finished her meal, Samaya leaned back against the soft fur, her thoughts drifting to the strange circumstances that had brought her here. The rhythmic sound of the waves against the shore and the gentle rustling of leaves overhead created a soothing backdrop to her contemplation.

As Samaya sat by the beach, lost in her thoughts and enjoying the meal provided by the mysterious male, she stared out into the vast expanse of the ocean. The rhythmic waves seemed to echo the rhythm of her contemplation, soothing yet persistent. Unbeknownst to her, the male emerged from the ocean, moving gracefully towards her. His footsteps were silent against the soft sand, but his presence was palpable. Samaya's reverie was abruptly interrupted when she sensed his approach, and she quickly shifted her gaze upwards, meeting his eyes briefly before glancing away, flustered.

Her cheeks flushed a bright shade of red as her eyes inadvertently landed on something she shouldn't have seen-his naked form, unencumbered by clothing. Mortified by the unexpected sight, she stammered in embarrassment, her words stumbling over each other as she gestured awkwardly towards his shorts lying nearby. The male looked down at her, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes at her reaction. "This little female seems to not being used to seeing males nacked," he thought to himself. Without a word, he gracefully picked up his clothes and began to dress himself. Samaya, still flustered and trying to regain her composure, kept her gaze averted, feeling the heat of embarrassment radiating through her cheeks. As he finished dressing, the male sat down beside her, the quietude between them broken only by the gentle murmur of the ocean. Samaya stole a glance at him, unsure of what to say or how to address the awkward moment that had just passed.

He cast a fleeting glance at the fish and noticed with displeasure that she had barely touched it. Concerned for her well-being, he urged her to eat, insisting that she needed to keep her strength up. The male pushed another slice towards her, but Samaya, feeling full from her earlier meal but not wanting to offend him, hesitated, unsure how to explain that she had already eaten. His patience waning and sensing her reluctance, he scooped her up and placed her on his lap, gently yet firmly stuffing a slice of fish into her mouth. Shocked by the suddenness of the situation, Samaya coughed heavily, struggling to break free from his unyielding grasp. She looked up into his eyes, his cold expression betraying no emotion. Reluctantly, she let herself be fed, the awkward intimacy of the moment making her uneasy. She chose to chew slowly, hoping to manage the overwhelming fullness she felt, but soon found herself on the verge of bursting.

Unable to eat more, she shook her head vigorously, signaling her refusal. He finally relented, letting her down gently onto the soft fur. Samaya, feeling unbearably stuffed, could barely move. Annoyed and uncomfortable, she lay down and held her aching tummy, the pain from overeating making her wince. The male, still not entirely satisfied with how little she had consumed, cast a glance at her before deciding to let it go for the time being. He finished the remaining fish himself, eating with an efficient grace, his movements precise and deliberate. As he ate, the light from the setting sun cast long shadows across the beach, the sky transitioning from vibrant orange to a deep, dusky purple.

Once he had eaten his fill, he laid down beside her, the warmth of his body a comforting presence in the cool night air. By the time he finished his meal, Samaya had already fallen asleep, her breathing slow and steady. Seeing her peaceful face, his expression softened. He gently cradled her into his arms, her slight form fitting snugly against his strong frame. The rhythmic sound of the waves and the rustling leaves overhead created a soothing symphony, the gentle breeze carrying the scent of salt and tropical flowers. Lulled by the calming environment, he too began to drift off, his mind easing into a state of relaxation. Under the canopy of stars, with the moon casting a silvery glow over the tranquil scene, they slept entwined, their breaths synchronized, finding a moment of peace in each other's presence. The stars above twinkled like distant jewels, and the gentle murmur of the ocean seemed to sing a lullaby, wrapping them in a cocoon of serenity and contentment.
