Dragon's Charm, Wolf's Allure, Shark's Desire, Unicorn's Passion. (Private)

Naina slightly frowned as she noticed Sugary accelerate even more. She didn't really feel like actually racing, but it seemed like Market gave her no choice. She was just about to actually put her tail to the test when she noticed that Sugary went up to the surface. The stallion would soon notice a familiar fin appear above the water next to him before slowly disappearing down again, it being seemingly a lot faster than Sugary. Naina would soon jump out of the water a few dozen meters in front of Sugary before diving down into the water again.

Sugary couldn't quite see Naina's discontent this time, thinking he was actually doing the right thing by going faster for her. How she would take his approach may or may not change as, when he spotted her jump out of the water, he made a risky move for himself. He made a modification to the spell, and launched himself farther ahead, facing upwards and fully bare as his back slapped against the waters to try and catch Naina before she went under again... Though in his rush, he had no intention of catching her roughly, he had thought that far ahead for her sake. What he briefly overlooked was that she might float and avoid him longer...

While Naina was still mid-air, she would use her magic to slightly change her direction of flight by a few degrees, landing in the water just next to Sugary, making sure to slightly splash him as she went down under again, though she actually started going deeper and didn't stay just under surface.

"What!? Oh, come on!" He felt cheated out of his prize, and in his distraction he forgot to make the landing less rough, and ended up skipping roughly like a stone tossed on water would, bouncing a few times before landing on his back with a splash again; He felt more sore and stingy however. "... Ow..." He was hardly about to accelerate again as he meekly floated on the water's surface...

The water around Market would be quiet for a bit, Naina seemingly not resurfacing again just yet. Sugary would be floating in relative silence for a bit longer before he could suddenly feel a tap on his back, and a moment later, Naina would pop out of the water right next to him and giggle before looking back at the land, and then at the sunset. "Hmm... we traveled quite far away, haven't we..."

He sighed in defeat, resigned to his fate once more as he smiled softly, and raised one arm behind her head to caress gently. "... I don't mind. It's nice and quiet out here anyway... You don't mind just floating with me out here, do you?" He nuzzled her lightly, hoping for more time with her company under the golden sky.

Naina shrugged. "Nah, I don't." she said as she continued floating next to him. "Is your back alright? that crash with the water couldn't have been pleasant..." she asked. "Do you want a massage, or do you want the seawater to just naturally heal it?" she added to her question, looking at the sunset before down at the dark blue depths beneath them.

He looked to her more, closing his eyes afterwards and laying there still. "I'm sturdier than I look, but... A massage would be nice. Still, I don't mean for you to do much but relax here with me... I could never deny your magic touch though."

Naina giggled and slowly repositioned herself so she was right underneath Sugary, planting her hands on his back and beginning to slowly rub around it, keeping her head above the water. Sugary could occasionally feel a slight press from her breasts on his back.

He hummed and relaxed as she began her delicate work, letting her go and keeping his body spread out for her to tend to. He giggled as he felt her breasts, but did nothing about them for now. What he did do for her as well was to level the water and waves around them, so he'd keep more still to work with. "Mmm~... I miss that..."

Naina curiously looked at him. "Miss what? The massage or the feeling of the girls on your body?" She asked and giggled as she continued rubbing all over his back, trying to ease his pain. The calm water was a nice touch too, and Naina was thankful she didn't have to really work in the waves, although with less waves there were also less occasions where her chest would 'accidentally' rub against his back.

"Heh heh... Is that a trick question? Both, Naina... Always both... How about you tough? Is there something you've been missing since the last time we met?" He kept a gleeful smile, even if he didn't feel her breasts as often, as he then spontaneously used a spell to make water droplets form web-like patterns in the air before shifting into other shapes. He figured he'd give her a little show of her own while she worked on his back.

"Well, food is one thing..." she answered Sugary as she continued rubbing. "And then there's also the feeling of affection..." she added, smiling at the show of droplets that Sugary was making with his magic. Her looks very often went between the beach and the sunset. "I think it'd be best if we get back to the beach by sunset... Waters can get somewhat cold during the night..." she said before smooching his cheek.

Sugary hummed in a sing song fashion, getting a little tingly sensation in his chest as his heart fluttered by Naina's own affection. He nuzzled gently in return before setting up another spell. A warm glow came from his hands, and the calm water around them began to warm up a little. "... There... Now we don't have to worry about the cold just yet..." Again he moved his muzzle, this time to give her a light kiss on the lips.

Naina smiled as she felt sudden warmth around them, however, what came next, she did not expect. Her eyes widened at the sudden kiss in surprise, but she did not pull back. Instead, she continued the deep kiss, going until Sugary would pull off. "I take it you really like it out here in the sea, despite the creatures that lie below?" she curiously asked him after the kiss.

Sugary kept the same face of contentment as he then moved his arms behind Naina, and pulled her closer behind him, caressing her back with the magically warm hands. "I like getting to venture far and see new things, yes, but right now? I got you here. I got nothing to worry about down below..."

"Is that so...? Sometimes, even us sharks are afraid of what hides deep below~" she said, whispering the last part. She sighed in relief as she felt warm hands on her back. "So, how long you wanna stay out here...?" she curiously asked, smiling at him.

"... As long as we want. You asked me to come here with you, so why turn back so soon...? We can afford more time out here... And we're not down deep anyway..." He kept cuddling back with her, closing his eyes and sighing as they floated together in warm bliss, nuzzling her affectionately again.

Naina giggled. "Well, I was thinking of a quick swim before the night and then relax on the beach before heading back to the ship. Unless you had some other plans..." she said, smiling, nuzzling and cuddling back in the warm water.

Sugary looked to the sunset, and came to a simple answer as he smiled broadly to her. "Nope, that sounds just fine by me. Buuut... I'll only let go for a cold swim if you let go first~" He playfully hugged her a little tighter from behind, wondering if she'd actually let go of him yet or not. If she did, then he'd linger on the hold a bit more before letting go as well.

Naina would nod and release Sugary from her gentle grasp. Once she'd be released too, she'd smile. "I was only thinking of making a curve towards the land. Our 'race' kinda worked well for the swim I mentioned earlier" she said and began slowly swimming, letting Market easily swim by her even without magic.

Sugary began to follow soon after, dispelling the magic and just shuddering at the natural cool water around them. The swim had been very nice so far, even if he still didn't catch the predator again. He hoped for more chances later on as he distracted himself watching Naina swim by his side.

Naina and Sugary would soon reach the beach again, only half of the sun still being above the water as they arrived. "Just in time, huh... To catch the last of the sunlight." she said and smiled as she walked onto the beach, shaking her head swiftly to get at least some of the water out of her hair before grabbing a towel and beginning to dry herself off.

He'd dry himself too, taking his time doing so as he walked up next to her to stare. "Eeyup. I just hope no one complains in catching us here like this." He chuckled, tail flicking over a bare flank with no shame whatsoever.

The sun would go down eventually, leaving the couple alone under the stars as they came out. He looked behind them to the sand, placed a towel, and then laid upon it face up with a smile. "And now... we rest under the cool night sky, yes?"

"I doubt anyone would go this far from town this late." She answered. "Though even if they did, would you really care?~" she added and smiled before putting her own towel down on the beach and laying down, looking up. "We might as well, if you want to. I don't really mind..."
