Aqua (book 1 out of 3)

Australia

A warm sensation flows through me, and I am woken up by the soft breathing on my neck. I open my eyes, seeing Cole sleeping beside me. I look down at our position. I was facing him, and his arms were securely wrapped around me. He was bare chested, and as I figured, I was wearing his t shirt from last night.
I smelled the t shirt like a stalker, enjoying his smell. I duck my head inside of it, but it's not as good as the real thing. I feel Coles hand slide down my waist... Further... I slap his hand away.
"I'm sleeping." He murmurs.
"Sleeping my ass, know your limits." I snap.
"How far was my limits last night?" He smirks. I roll my eyes. It wasn't exactly sex, I reminded myself. I feel heat rush up to my face when Coles hand touches my bottom. I was about to smack him, but he was to fast. He pulls me on top of him, and I giggle endlessly.
"What happens in the captains lounge stays in the captains lounge." I demand with a stern face. Cole chuckled deeply, playing with the hem in my shirt.
"Hm, sure. But that also goes for my bedroom, the castle, the ocean, the infirmary..." He lists them off his finger. I looked down at his hand, and it was rubbing my back. I was pretty much sitting on top of him, but he didn't mind.
"Oh, stop it." I smack his chest playfully.
"Why am I not allowed to brag about you? Can't I go around screaming: I'm dating Ariadne Bayou my little cute sugar cube!" He shouted before I eventually stopped him with my hand over his mouth. I felt something wet and sticky, and pulled back.
"You licked me!" I pouted. He winked, and took my hands and put them to his face. "I'm gonna get you back for that."
Cole peeks open his closed eyes. "I'd like to see you try." I bit my lip, i made my decision. I licked the side of his face like a dog. His smile fades into a shocked look. "What the hell?!" He wiped his face with his hand.
I laugh again, crossing my arms. Thetys decides to make an entrance. He was with Quinn. He looks between us, and his face is suddenly filled with anger.
"Ariadne River Bayou! Get your ass out there, I'd like to have a word." Thetys demands, pointing to the exit. I feel my face heat up. I was about to get up, but Cole pulled me back down. "Now." He added.
"I-it's not what it looks like!" I rush, waving my hands around. Thetys glares at the shirt I'm wearing, it's obvious its Coles. "I Uhm, my clothes... They were taken by the fishers." I come up with quickly.
Thetys gives me a do you think I'm stupid look. "Uh huh. I searched their boat. I don't think they have your petite undies in there." Thetys crosses his arms.
"More like extra petite. You know how small Aria is? She's like a little Sugar Cube!" Cole gushes under me. I realize I'm still sitting on top of him. I sent him a glare, and he sent me a smirk.
"How would you know?" Thetys presses on.
"Arias my girlfriend, should I not know her body size?" Cole snaps. I face palm myself, ready to walk out on their conversation.
"LAND HOOOOO!" Quinn yelled from outside. I jumped off of Cole, running past Thetys, and seeing the big continent in front of us.
I stare at it in awe, it was my first time out of the country. Cole almost appears next to me, stretching his arms. I scrunch up my eyebrows, staring at him.
"Go put on a shirt." I demand, pushing him back to the captains lounge. I see in the distance, Dolphins squeaking and flipping.
"Aria! Cmere!" Quinn called, motioning me over from the the other corner of the boat. I walk over there cautiously, crossing my arms. I still smelt Coles scent, lingering on me.
I furrow my eyebrows, rubbing my shoulder awkwardly. "Yeah, no. I never sang before, but I don't even think it's a good idea to try..." I say.
"Sirens are gifted with it. I don't care. Just sing anything. But put power in your voice."
"I have to teach you how to sing." She rolls her silver eyes. "It's just in case things get out of hand, a sirens song is for persuasion. If we're not there when you need help, you can use persuasion as a distraction." Quinn explains.
I try to let that sink in. But it doesn't. Me, singing? That'll be the day.
"So, sing the song that comes first to mind." She leaned on her heels, waiting patiently.
I sighed, crossing my arms, not wanting to do this at all.
"White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men

And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly" I finished, taking a long shaky breath. I looked back at Quinn, who looked as blank as a sheet of paper. I waved a hand in front of her face, but she didn't respond.
Her eyes filled with a light blue mist, and her eyes were glued on me. I waved a hand again, but she wouldn't respond.
"You have to release her from your control." Cole just suddenly reappeared next to me. I swear, this guy needs a bell.
"How...?" I muttered, not taking my eyes off of Quinn.
"Command." He answering shortly. The corner of my lips twitch, as I lean in a little closer to Quinn.
"I uh, I command you to... Be released from my control." It was less of a command, and more of a question. I was very unsure this wasn't even going to work.
Quinn's face was still blank, until she blinked a couple of times, and face palmed herself. "I fell under, didn't I?" She groans.
"You need to work on that, Q." Cole pats her shoulder, turning back to me. "You have a beautiful voice."
