Feyre lounged on a towel, shaded by a beach umbrella. She laughed as she watched Cassian tackle Rhys in the water after he had "accidentally" splashed him. Shaking her head, she resumed her book, once again getting lost in it's pages.
Nearby, Elain was building a sand castle. Well, more like a sand city. She had already built 4 structures and was in the midst of making a road, when Azriel walked up to her, dripping water onto the sand. He sat down, being sure not to mess up Elain's castles. Elain looked up at him and smiled. "Come to help, Az?" She asked, patting down a section of the road. Az smiled, but shook his head, earning a confused glance from Elain. The male rose, walking over to sit next to her. The shadowsinger covered them both with his wings, enveloping them in an almost complete darkness. Moving closer, he felt the female press against him. Dipping his head, Azriel lifted Elain's chin with his finger, bringing her face closer to his own. Elain's eyes were wide as she took a deep breath and surged forward, kissing the male with a passion he was not expecting. His lips were soft against hers, almost hesitant. Elain pulled back, her eyes locking onto Azriel's. She bit her lip, her hands trailing down the male's muscled back, reaching his wings. Slowly she traced her index finger up the side of one and around the soft flesh. She felt Az shudder beneath her touch. Sliding her hands back around the male's neck, she kissed him again, and this time he kissed her back more fiercly. In one swift movement, Azriel picked up Elain and took off, soaring up into the sky, heading in the direction of the house. Elain whispered, so quietly he could barely hear her over the rushing wind, "I love you, Az." He almost fell out of the sky at those four words, but quickly regained his balance. Dipping his head, he planted a gentle kiss on her lips. "I love you too, Elain."
