2. Practicing my most enticing walk...
3. I sway my hips as I strut toward the shoreline.
4. The moon provides just enough light to see by..
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. And kir's look tells me she's appreciating the view.
2. A slow smile uncurls on my mouth.
3. "Are you coming, mrs. Lee?"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Hell yeah."
2. Her footsteps grow closer and
3. I take off down the beach, kir giving chase behind me.
1. In a quick glance behind me, I see her strip off her suit coat and toss it onto the sand.
2. But I don't stop until I reach the surf.
3. Taking a deep, fortifying breath, I charge straight into the water, despite the freezing temperature.
1. There's nothing like charging into the ocean fully clothed to make you feel reckless and spontaneous.
2. As soon as I hit the waves, I begin to understand what my mom has wanted for me all along.
3. The crunch of sand in between my toes, the cold water rushing over my skin...
4. And kir's bright smile as she watches me fight my way into the surf makes everything...
1. Crystal clear.
2. I feel carefree.
3. Alive.
4. With a flash of clarity I get everything she's been trying to tell me.
1. It feels so good and freeing that I almost cry.
2. But instead, I laugh, a raw, primal sound bursting from my lips.
3. "Haha"
4. "Hahaha..."
5. God, I don't remember the last time I laughed.
6. Actually laughed out loud. It feels freaking amazing.
7. "Hahaha..."
8. Kir's gaze snaps to mine at the sound and a slow smile uncurls on her mouth.
9. She can feel it too. I'm back. I've got this.
1. I'm going to be okay. I'm not merely going to survive.
2. I'm going to thrive. I'm going to ensure my mom doesn't go quietly.
3. Her message will ring out loud and clear if I have anything to say about it.
4. A sense of euphoria washes over me and I throw my arms out to my sides.
5. Turning in a circle and closing my eyes in the dark sky as the cold water washes over me.
1. Then I swim deeper, needing more of this feeling.
2. Kir chases after me until I'm hips deep.
3. Goosebumps break out over my skin as the cool water envelopes me...
4. My wet clothes clinging to my body.
1. I turn around needing to see her face.
2. Then she grabs my arm carefully, and pulls me closer to her.
3. The water laps at her waist and we stand there, watching each other, breathing hard.
4. The moon is full tonight and its glow paints the night sky in a dark luminous hue.
1. She is so at ease with her body, so controlled in all that she does, it's hard not to feel small in her presence.
2. She commands attention. And she has mine full and undivided.
1. A CURRENT OF SEXUAL AWARENESS BUZZES BETWEEN US.
