There was that one guy from star wars about sand - Boadicea (cw)

He looked out at the sea as they stepped out of the car, squinting his eyes at the sharp sunlight before he lifted his hand to cover the warm rays. He looked around at the people that had already found their spots, women laying in the sand to get their tan before summer, kids running about, screaming and yelling in joyous tones of happiness. It was a soothing feeling in the air with the mild breezes of air that stole some of the heat from the sun. These were one of the warmer days of spring, and it was clearly showing.
He turned his eyes to Buffy and smiled a bit, "Seems like we werent the only ones thinking this would be a good idea," he said in a grin, clearly avoiding the fact that he wasnt too keen on the idea to begin with. But now that he was here, it didnt seem as bad as he had imagined. He looked down at the sand and made a dismayed expression. He didnt really like the feeling of sand, it was coarse and seemed to find every crack to slip into, making it hard to get rid off once it was touched. He just stood there staring at the sand with furrowed brows as he grabbed Buffy's hand.

She had been the one to suggest this, the need to feel the fresh air outside of Gaia and hearing the ocean had taken over her. As they parked the car, she got out and went to Baal’s side and placed a kiss on his cheek. ”You need to stop being dramatic, I know you weren’t a fan of this, but it’s going to be fun,” she said with a cute smile on her lips, before grabbing his hand. She had a bag over her arm, carrying the blanket they had brought from home as well as some sunscreen and water. Finding a spot was harder than she had expected, but they managed to get one not too far from the water. She placed down the blanket and stepped out of her sandals. The she removed her flowey dress andgave Baal a daring look before she darted towards the water. It was cold, so cold, but how she enjoyed the feeling against her skin. The sun above was warming her up and she dove under the water to get her body used to the cold. Getting to the surface again, she swung her hair back and away from her face, turning in the direction of where Baal was. ”Come on! The water is nice!” she yelled with a smile on her face.

He scoffed at her words but couldnt help but smile when he saw her cute smile. He looked back at the sand and shook his head as he chuckled, "I thought you knew that being dramatic is one of my finest traits," he then said and squeezed her hand softly. He looked around as they were looking for a spot, but not being at the beach more, he let her choose the spot. He sat down on the blanket and leaned back on his hands as she got out of her dress, looking at her with a content grin. Her dress was pretty, but seeing her in a bathing suit wasnt something to complain about, she looked great.
He watched her run for the water, tilting his head slightly as he figured that it probably would be quite cold seeing that it was still spring. Summer was on it's way but the sea was lacking behind, which wasnt that surprising. He had gotten up and taken off his shoes as he stepped towards the water, his pants where short, so he could dip his feet in if he liked. He blinked a bit as she got to the surface, feeling mesmerized by her wet hair flying behind her head. Her words made him shake his head a bit as he chuckled and looked at the water. "I dont like the cold," he said with a little smile as he walked towards the waves, feeling the cold brush up against his anckles, furrowing his eyebrows slightly at the feeling. "I am so not going in, it's freezing cold," he argued with a chuckle and shook his head. Keeping his clothes on would hopefully stop her from dragging him in, but he had left his phone in the bag at the blanket. He eyed her with a warning look but a soft smile. "Dont even think about it," he added.

”A fantastic trait, love,” she said with a teasing smile before pulling him with her. He sat down and she stood for a bit, just watching him. So many things had happened lately, and one day at the beach was all she had asked for. As she dove in the water, she knew people would be staring at her, but she didn’t mind. He got closer to the water and she chuckled as he furrowed his brows. She got up on land, her body dripping off water as she got to him, wrapping her cold arms atound him. ”Think about what?” she whispered in teasing before planting a kiss on his lips. She hadn’t told him, but she had gotten a soul for breakfast, making her have the strength of a demon. The kiss would distract him and soon she hauled him up in her arms and threw him out in the water, giggling as she dove in after him. Reaching him she splashed some of the cold water in his face, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him again. ”I feel like the sea just got hotter by your prescence,” she whispered, poking his nose before letting him go to float on her back.

He watched her walk up on land, feeling her cold body press against his clothes and he sighed as his arms wrapped around her. Her whispering tease made him frown with a smile of disbelief. He kissed her back, pressing her closer to him as he closed his eyes, indulging in her sweetness, completely oblivious to her devious plan. His expression changed to confusion as she hauled him out in the water, feeling the cold surround him and soaking his clothes to the core. He stuck his head up of the water, making a sharp inhale followed by a dissatisfied groan. He shook the water out of his curly hair as he mumbled to himself, "Unbelievable," before he felt the splashes of water in his face that made him shake his head and cover his eyes, "Stop it!" he exclaimed in a warning tone - But it wasnt angry, more a playful yet kind of serious tone. He sighed deeply and felt her arms around his neck. He instictively placed a hand on her lower back as he eyed her with false anger, before she kissed him again.
Her whisper made him raise his eyebrows as he then narrowed his eyes a bit, "Is flattery supposed to make me feel better?" he asked in a confused tone, before he sighed and watched her float. He turned his eyes to the beach where a lot of people had been watching with their mouths gaping open at the sight of the rather short woman throwing a tall man into the water. He scrunched his face and then turned his head to Buffy, "We've turned into the odd kind that people will avoid from now on," he stated as he moved over to her, grabbing her and pulling her into his arms. She was warmer than his cold clothes, so he was just going to steal a little of her warmth. "I should have kept my phone," he then said in a low tone as he moved his eyes up to the empty sky and then closed his eyes for a bit. He opened his eyes and let go of her as he moved a bit away and suddenly cupped his hands to throw water at her, just once with a wide grin on his face.

Buffy laughed as she watched him. She knew he hated the cold, but she needed something different today. She just needed to be with him, have fun and not worry. His hands reaching down to hold her closer made her smile and his question made her giggle against his lips. ”You can take it any way you want to,” she said in a low tone, lifting one eyebrow at him before deciding to float. The water around her ears made the world seem like a distant dream for a moment. He pulled her into his arms and she chuckled at his comment. ”Then I can have you all by my self? Oh, what a dreaded situation I am in,” she said, rolling her eyes, before she pressed herself closer to him. She didn’t mind people looking, they would always look if you did something out of the ordinary. As he splashed the water at her she opened her mouth and made a small gasping sound. ”So it’s going to be like that, huh?” she said, wiping away the water from her face before she jumped on him, pulling him under the water before letting go of him to get to the surface again.

"Doubtfully, you'd have much competition either way. You are my wife to be," he said with a smile and placed a kiss on her temple before he had moved away to splash water onto her. Her gasp made him laugh as he looked at her with a daring look. "It would seem that way," he said with a sly smile, ready for her move - Hugging her as she jumped him and pulled them both under the water. He did forget to hold his breath, so as his face got the surface, he harked and coughed before he chuckled, "You must have a thing for being underwater," he then said as he wiped the water off his face and shook his curly hair to the sides, turning his grey eyes to her again.
This was something else, it was calm and something they both had needed in a while. Being in the water had gone from being a dreaded anticipation of the cold, to a more soothing and relaxing experience - He had to admit that he enjoyed it. But the fight wasnt over, not by any chance would he let her have the satisfaction of winning. He moved his mouth under the water and made a rather disgusted face as he sucked in the water, that tasted rather horrible, only to spit it at her like a small fountain. He laughed, ignoring the disgust and shook his head. "Heh, You've got to do better than than pulling me under. Werent you the infamous devil hunter? Show me your best splash," he then said as he got a devilish smile on his lips as he taunted her,. He tilted his head a bit as he seemed to consider what he himself could do. He wasnt really all about this playful fighting in water, but he couldnt deny that it was fun.

”What can I say? It reminds me of a simpler time,” she said with a smile as he commented on the fact that she liked water. She blocked the water droplets being fired at her from his curly hair with her arm. She chuckled and dove under water as he started spitting the water at her. She got back up, just in time for him to tease her, and her eyes lit up with a devious smile on her lips. She moved her hands out to the sides and in a fast motion she moved her arms together in front of her, splashing Baal all over with two small colliding waves. Then she jumped on him again, but not to pull him under, rather to attack him with a kiss against his lips. She forgot for a second where they were, and pulled herself closer to him as she deepened the kiss. As it dawned on her where they were she pulled away a bit and chuckled to herself. It was so easy to just forget everything when their lips were locked. ”I think I need to remind myself to be more PG-13,” she chuckled against his lips and pulled away, a bit reluctantly. Every since her merging with Baal’s soul she had found it hard to control a lot of her emotions, and often got a bit lost in the different feelings.

He lifted his eyebrows as she spread out her arms and frowned as he closed his eyes, waiting for the water to hit him. He was thankful that he was ready, it was a lot of water that suddenly hit him. He dried off his face again and smiled at her as she jumped him, placing his hands on her sides as he felt her soft lips on his. He felt her pushing herself closer and her deepening of the kiss made him also forget the world around them as his hands slid around her and he indulged himself in her sweetness. His mouth slightly opened as she pulled away and he stared at her with vulnerable eyes as his breath seemed a bit unsteady. Her words made him calm his breathing as he chuckled a bit nervously and scratched his neck. "Me too," he mumbled in a shaken tone as he dragged his hand through his hair and made a deep exhale, trying to calm himself a bit.
"Well, I'll have to stay here for a bit," he then said as he smiled softly and turned his head towards the sun and closed his eyes. The sun felt warm and soothing, and the breezes were calming even though they were kind of cold. He let his hand support him underwater against the sand as he just sat there and enjoyed the moment. He opened his eyes after a bit and looked at Buffy. "Is there anything to do in water, beside throwing it at one another?" he then asked as he raised his eyebrow just a bit, clearly curious.

This feeling of forgetting the world around them could be dangerous at times and she knew it, but she just had a need for him that she couldn’t explain. Or she could, because she loved him, but why it was so strongly only the gods would know. His shaken tone made her chuckle as she placed a sweet and rather innocent kiss on his cheek. She knew what she had done to him, and if there had been no one there, she wouldn’t have hesitated to continue. Nodding at his small request she just decided to float a bit in the water, feeling the cold on her skin, but relaxed nonetheless. The sun above helped warming her up a bit. ”Well there’s lots of things to do in water,” she chuckled, moving over and sitting down beside him. ”There’s diving and swimming, and let us not forget about all the games there is to play,” she said with a smile, leaning her head against his shoulder as she watched the horizon. ”But the sand can be just as fun; sand castles, volley ball, sunbathing,” she said, naming a few suggestions. In a smooth motion she got to her feet and sent him a smile. She shook a bit and walked over to their spot to find a few towels for them, handing one to Baal as he joined her. She laid down on the blanket, running her fingers over the wet bathingsuit as she looked at the blue sky. ”Anything you’d like to try?” she asked, turning her eyes to greet him.

He smiled as he felt her sit next to him and nodded as he listened to her explain. He leaned his head onto hers as she leaned on his shoulder and opened his eyes to look ahead with a content smile, raising his eyebrows a bit as she explained about the things to do in the sand. "Sunbathing is considered fun? You just lie there to get cooked like a turkey," he argued as he then laughed, he imagined people on the beach at the moment who were sunbathing to all be turkeys lying around.
He looked at her as she stood up and followed, feeling his soaked clothes starting to hang as they got up to the shore. He sighed and looked down at his arms for a bit, knowing that as soon as he took off his shirt, everyone would stare. He sat down on the blanket as he grabbed the towel she offered him and pulled off his soaked shirt, throwing it in the sand, not really caring that it wouldnt dry. His eyes instantly scanned the beach as his predictions were true and people were turning their heads to stare at his pale torso covered in tattoos. "You'd think they havent seen tattoos before," he mumbled as he turned his head to look at Buffy as she asked what he wanted to do. He lifted the corner of his mouth into a thinking expression as he leaned back on his hands with the towel in his lap. The water drippling off his curls that had given in to the wetness and was hanging a bit instead of being all curled up.
"Hmmm. I guess we can be turkeys for a while," he then said with a laugh and looked at her, to then turn his eyes up and down her body. He cleared his throat after a bit and moved his eyes up to the sky as he closed his eyes. He liked the way the sun was warming his cold body up.

Buffy couldn’t hold back a small chuckle as she now could imagine all of the people at the beach as turkeys. ”I would think rotisserie chickens would be more accurate,” she said in a teasing tone before she went over to the blanket. Watching Baal take off his clothes made her smile, his small comment making her furrow her brows as she moved over closer to him. ”We could give them a real reason to stare,” she whispered against his lips and kissed him tenderly, moving her hand down to his chest, feeling his beating heart. ”Besides, maybe they are just jealous of how handsome my fiancée is,” she said with a cute smile gracing her lips as she looked at him. Buffy turned to her front, letting the heat dry her bathing suit and feeling his eyes on her. She turned her head towards him as he said they could be turkeys, sending him a small cheeky smile. They laid for a bit in silence, and she enjoyed the warm feeling against her skin. ”What are you thinking about?” she asked silently, moving her hand over to remove some of his wet curls from his forehead.

"Probably," he said with a smile. He was clearly not happy about them all staring, and as she moved closer, he was still staring at them, locking eyes with one particular person that made a deep frown at him. He felt her lips on his and smiled a bit at her whisper, before his hand found it's way around her waist as he felt the tender kiss, that made his heart flutter and beat faster. He leaned closer to her, ready to grab her with his other hand as she then moved away that made him chuckle and shake his head as she spoke. "Your handsome fiancée is having a hard time containing himself by the way you're kissing him," he said in a low tone with a crooked smile as she went back to her spot.
The silence was fine, as they could hear the kids laughing and the waves rushing to the shore, only to retract till another wave took over. He exhaled deeply and turned his head to her, squinting his eyes in the sunlight. "Hmmm..." he mumbled as she moved some of his hair away. He turned to the side, placing an elbow on the blanket as he leaned his head onto the palm of his hand. "You used dirty tricks when we were in the water. I'll want a rematch at some point..." he paused as he made a sly smile and moved his eyes around the beach, "Preferably when the sun is setting and everyone has left," his tone was rather charming and low as he looked at her lips for a bit as he spoke, moving his own like they were dancing at his words. He chuckled and leaned down to give her a gentle peck. "But I doubt you could muster it," he then teased with a devilish smile.

”Maybe your soon to be wife has a hard time too,” she whispered back to him before scooting over to her original spot. She exhaled and just looked at him for a while. Seeing him relaxed like this was something she wished to see more often, even though she had a feeling like this was the calm before the storm. He turned to his side, but she just kept herself laying on her stomach and watching him. His words made her heart beat increase a bit, the thought of what he had in mind send a small shiver down her back. He placed a short kiss against her lips and she sighed at how short it was. She wanted more, but it would also mean less thinking about their surrounding. His tease made her widen her eyes shortly, before she turned over to her side. ”Oh, you call me weak now?” she said, raising an eyebrow. She moved her head closer to his, licking his upper lip, because she knew it would drive him crazy. ”What if I told you that I was down for anything involving our bodies?” she whispered against his lips, never kissing him, just teasing him ever so slightly. ”But I doubt you could muster it,” she whispered and moved away biting her lower lip as she returned those words to him.

He looked at her as she turned to her side and he loved how she reacted to his tease, with a smile he replied to her question, "I might have implied it," he teased her, his grin growing at her raised eyebrow in the same devilish way as he had teased her before. He watched her with anticipation as she moved closer and sighed softly as she licked his upper lip, biting his lower as she whispered, feeling her lips brush against his in a way that made his heart flutter even more. "Then I would say that you're crazy ," he whispered back against her lips, clearly in agony as he just wanted her to kiss him. His breath was slow and heavy as he was taken by the moment, her whisper pulling all sense from his mind.
He narrowed his eyes a bit at her, barely able to contain himself and hating how the beach was filled with people in this moment. He exhaled shakingly and clenched his jaw shortly at the thoughts that were running through his mind. "You're playing a dangerous game," he mumbled as he looked at her with longing eyes. His free hand found it's way to her arm as it playfully caressed her skin with his fingertips, letting his nails graze her skin ever so slightly as his eyes never moved from hers. He moved his head up to her ear and gently nibbed at her earlobe before he whispered seductively, "You could only imagine the things I would do to you if we were alone." he nibbled at her earlobe again, "My burning desire imploding as we connect as one," his lips playfully touching her ear as he then moved his head away and couldnt hold back a smirk, his hand on her arm had grasped at her skin, slightly digging his nails into her but not in a way that would hurt.

Buffy enjoyed this a little too much, but she also felt like she was allowed to feel like this. Her breathing got heavy at his voice, and wanted to just get him alone already. It was clear that she wanted him and that he wanted her back, but it would be atleast an hour or so before people would start clearing out and go home to eat dinner. ”Am I playing a dangerous game?” she whispered back to him, her breath warm against his lips. As he moved closer and started nibbling at her earlope she felt like she was going to lose it. She knew something that would drive him to insanity, but she kept it to herself. For now. ”I have a vivid imagination,” she whispered, moving closer to him, running her hand down his torso until it reached his underwear where she brushed over him over the still wet fabric. ”Should I be scared you won’t last long then?” she whispered back, raising an eyebrow at him and moving her lips closer to his lips. ”Ahhn,” she moaned against his lips and she knew she had him. Then she let their lips touched and sighed at the feeling. If people were watching, so be it, she loved him too much to give a damn right now.

Her whisper made him chuckle softly, as she couldnt imagine what he had started to imagine in his head. “You are,” he confirmed as he moved closer.
Making her feel this way was by all means a cruel move, but he was already feeling the agony of being constrained in this way. He couldnt do what he wanted to and it was toying with him beyond belief, yet he also found it that more exciting. His seductive whisper was a ploy, but it didnt seem to work the way he wanted to - Or maybe she was just that good at hiding it.
Feeling her hand touch him in the way she did, made him bite back a moan as he gritted his teeth slightly like a hungry animal, the moan turning to a muffled groan. He closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on not being completely dragged in, but it his body was already showing it clearly, making him cover himself with the towel. He didnt care if people were looking at this point, he only saw her and felt her hand touching him with all indecency for the public. “Ohhh. I would take my time with you... In an endless stream of euphoria” he assured her with a smirk. Her moan and her touch at his lower half filled him with arousal, and he started moving his hips in subtle small movements against her hand, holding back soft moans as his eyes locked with hers, filled with desire and lust the same. This was insane, doing this kind of stuff on the beach and yet he couldnt bring himself to care. Until a few kids ran past them, flinging sand into the air with their feet and dragging him back to reality. He gasped and sat up, feeling his body slightly tremble as his cheeks got a tiny hint of a rosy colour under the pale. He was quick to cover his face with his hand as he took a few sharp inhales, trying to calm himself down. “Mnnnhh. That was embarassing,” he admitted as he pulled his hands off and felt his heart in hos throat and his breath unsteady. He turned his eyes to Buffy. “You devil,” he said as he threw himself over her, attacking her face with small kisses all over.

Buffy felt her breathing getting uneasy as she felt her need for him rise. She moved closer to him, kissing his neck as she heard him promise to take his time with her. Smiling against his neck and feeling his hips move made her sigh in content. Couldn’t people just disappear so she could jump on him already? ”I’m countin on it later, then,” she whispered against his skin, leaving a small trail of wet kisses down his neck. As she reached the space where his neck and shoulder joined, she bit down in teasing before he pulled away because of the kids. Buffy’s own cheeks were already pink because of the heat between them, but as it felt like getting caught the just got a bit more red. She chuckled at his comment and placed an arm over her eyes to hide her face a bit, nodding at his words. She looked at him as he called her a devil and let out a small scream of joy as he jumped on her. She squirmed, playing along as he attacked her. ”Please, mighty Baal, spare your fiancée,” she whispered as she laughed, before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down in a tender kiss. She moved a bit against his body and swung them around so she was on top of him. A chuckle escaped her lips as she moved some of her still damp hair behind her ear. Her hands running down his tattooed body, fingers following the small swirls as they always did when she saw them. ”I bet I can make a better sandcastle than you,” she said in a whisper, bowing down and kissing him before rolling off of him. Sitting on the blanket, she started moving some sand around. They needed to pass time some way, and what better than to make a sandcastle?

He chuckled softly at her whisper that begged anticipation, but his chuckle mixed with a soft moan that he just couldnt hold back. Her touch was like heaven, but he already knew that. He was hers and just her touch made his core tremble. Had it not been for the kids running past them, he wasnt sure what he would have done. But surely a lot of people would have gasped and watched in disbelief.
He didnt see her blush, but a part of him knew that she was probably as flustered as he was. It was odd to be so caught up in the lust and game of tension, to then be pulled out to the harsh reality of being in a public space. He laughed through his closed puckered lips as he kissed her in endless trails that led to nowhere, her whispering plea making him intensify the attack of small cute kisses. He felt her arms wrap around his neck and deicded to stop kissing her face, as she pulled him down for a tender kiss, that felt like it could pull him back to the tension they were feeling before.
He felt her move closer and gasped softly as she swung them around, looking up at her with a trembling breath. "Boadicea..." he said in a low lustful murmur, but he couldnt let himself be caught in the moment again, so he shook his head and tried to think of something else. He closed his eyes and smiled a bit at her touch on his body, he always loved how she trailed the swirls that covered him. It made him feel like it wasnt all that bad to have his whole upper body covered in black marks from the depths of hell.
Her whisper made him raise an eyebrow before they kissed, right before she rolled off, he nipped gently at her lower lip and gritted his teeth slightly, "What's gonna happen to the loser?" he then asked, in the way he said it, it was clear that he had no intent on losing. He didnt know a lot about making a sandcastle, but he would try his best. He moved his eyes over to some kids that had built quite the castle and furrowed his eyes, "We're lacking tools. But I guess that we'll make do," he then said as he moved to the edge of the blanket, keeping his towel between his legs as he hadnt calmed down completely. He started digging in the sand, making a pile of sand as a start.

His murmur was close to driving her wild again, and feeling how turned on he actually was made her core spin. ”Belial,” she whispered back as she kissed him. Him biting at her lover lip made her give him one small press against his hips, just to make sure that he knew how much she wanted him as well. She sat up and gathered the sand as good as she could, tools or none, she wouldn’t want to lose. ”Loser will have to go skinny dipping,” she said with a teasing smile and focused on the foundation of the castle first. She chuckled at his remark. ”We don’t need tools for this,” she said with a chuckle as she found the perfect type of sand for her castle. Not too dry and not too wet. She pressed it together, forming a small moat around the castle walls. She looked over and saw that Baal was doing better than she would have thought. She jumped up from her seat and moved along the beach looking for small seashells and stones to embelish with. She returned with a small selection and handed a few to Baal if he wanted them. ”Don’t say I can’t be an angel as well,” she said in a teasing manner, knowing he hadn’t calmed down completely yet. Buffy was serious about this sandcastle business, moving her fingers around, creating small swirls in the sand. ”I’m about done, what about you?” she said with a grin, looking at him.

Whenever she said his full name it always put him on the verge of losing it. He couldnt begin to describe what the sound alone that she made of saying it did to him. It was like his name hadnt lost it’s power over him, but when it was her saying it, it wouldnt turn him evil, it would make his core spin and long for her to say it again. As he let go of her lip, his mouth was still slightly open, a soft almost quiet groan leaving his lips as she pressed herself against him. He wanted to say something but stopped himself as it would only bring back the tension.
He widened his eyes a bit as she mentioned skinny dipping, to then laugh at shake his head. “Well by the time we’re done, I’m sure people have already left. Why not up the stakes to something that would actually be a penalty for losing?” He dared her with a sly smirk as he looked down at the sand he had gathered. He started shaping the castle right away, trying his best to make it even, even though it was way harder than he imagined. He narrowed his eyes and focused on the castle, sticking his tongue slightly out in the corner of his mouth while he concentrated. When he wasnt sure what to do, he glanced at Buffy’s castle that already looked way better than his, which only made him that more competetive. He dug his fingers into the foundation and started to shape small windows and a door in the barely stable mishapen tower, before he looked at her as she offered him shells, chuckling at her tease. “You do sing like one,” he returned the tease with a suggestive smile, clearly not talking about singing, before he looked at the shells like he had said no such thing. He grabbed a few and leaned back on his hand as he thought about what he could do with the shells. “Mnnhh.. I’ve never been the one for architecture. It’snot finished but I’m not going to make it better, even if I tried” he admitted, placing some shells on top of the tower to act as a roof.

”Oh, now you are playing a dangerous game, prince of hell,” she teased him, nudging him with her elbow as she moved her slender fingers around the sand to make small patterns that looked like bricks. ”Hmmm,” she mumbled to herself as she thought about it and turned her eyes to his as she got the idea. ”The one who wins, gets to choose what the other has to do,” she said raising her eyebrow at him. It could be used in any ways, and she knew it, but she thought she already had an idea of what she wanted to use it on if she won. She started decorating with the small stones, pebbles and sea shells she had gathered and chuckled at his remark as her cheek grew a bit rosy. He had this way of speaking that made her heart flutter, and she had to take a second and close her eyes before continueing. His comment made her laugh and she moved a bit away from her creation, looking at it with a faint smile on her lips. ”We used to go to the beach every summer when I was a kid,” she said as she looked at the sandcastle, a bit caught in her memories, but her smile still on her lips. ”Ace would always try and kick over my castles, and dad would have to haul him away,” she chuckled. ”And mum,” she said, emotion escaping from her eyes before she closed them and swallowed. ”She would tell me stories of mermaids and magical creatures that was living under the sea,” she said silently, just remembering the memory for a second, before opening her eyes and turning her gaze to Baal again. She leaned closer to him, placing a sweet kiss against his shoulder. ”Thank you for agreeing to this,” she mumbled against his skin.

“Am I?” He asked with a smirk and eyed her for a bit.
His eyebrows raised as she changed the penalty to having the winner decide. “I guess that’s fine, but dont think that I wont give it my all, because I will” he said with a smile, slowly adjusting to the fact that he was prpbably going to lose. He had been focused at first, but glancing at her and seeing how passionate she decorated her castle had thrown him off, he knew that he couldnt compete with her, hence why he made a comment on his castle.
He followed her contagious laughter at his comment on his castle with a soft chuckle as he looked at his castle, shaking his head as he found it silly that he couldnt have done it better. He looked at her as she opened up for a memory, he bowed down over his leg and placed his chin on his now raised knee as he listened to her with a little smile. He watched her look at her sandcastle as she seemed to get caught up in her memory, slowly straightening his back as he leaned down on his hands and tilted his head, shaking it as she mentioned her brother being quite the bully, his eyes closed to just imagine Buffy as a little girl, protecting her castle from her brother till their father intervened. He wanted to comment and say how it wasnt that odd that a brother would be like thag, but he didnt want to interupt her memory. When she mentioned her mother, his smile slowly faded as she seemed to be affected by just the mention. He slowly scooted closer to her as she spoke, gently placing his arm around her as she finished. “It’s good to have memories of the ones you’ve lost. Keeps them alive in your heart and mind,” he said in a low tone with a sad smile as she looked at him. He nudges his head on top of her hair and closed his eyes for a bit - He didnt have any memories of his mother and he found that somewhat sad now when he thought of it. But he wouldnt let it ruin the moment.
His arm stroked her upper arm as she kissed his shoulder, and he chuckled lightly, “Had I known that it would turn out this way, I’d have been less reluctant to go,” he admitted and nuzzled his nose onto her temple as he then turned his head to look at their castles. He sighed and shook his head. “Name your penalty,” he said in a low defeated tone before he then smiled rather softly at her and entangled their fingers. “But be gentle with me. I am quite a sore loser,” he added in a slight beg, before he chuckled lightly.

Buffy hadn’t realized how much she felt this sense of loss in her chest. She leaned her head against his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around her. She felt so grateful, not only because of the love she felt for the demon beside her, but because he listened to her. His words were comforting and closed her eyes again as he stroked her arm with his warm slightly sandy fingers and kissed her skin gently. She loved this feeling. Having him close and just listening to the waves. His small admittance made her chuckle, but it sounded more like a hiccup as she tried to hold back her tears. ”The month you were gone, I felt so lost,” she admitted, opening her eyes to look at him with vulnerable eyes. Her green searching for an answer she couldn’t find and she sighed. ”Your penalty is simple,” she whispered turning her body towards him, taking his hands and placing them on the each side of her body. ”Make me feel your love,” she whispered. It sounded more like begging at this point but she didn’t care. Buffy moved her lips to his, greeting them with a gentleness to them as she moved over and now sat on top of him. Her movements were slow, just kissing his lips and feeling his body heat. Some things were fine now, but feeling so lost without him had only enhanced her need for him. Though they saw each other every week, she still felt like something was missing. ”Oh, and move in with me,” she added, kissing down his neck, moving her hips against his groin, knowing it would make both of them out of breath in a second.

He didnt like to hear how lost she felt when he was gone and he closed his eyes a bit to remove the wetness that had fallen over them. He opened his eyes again and looked into her vulnerable ones, “I felt lost too. Like the darkness would never end,” he said in a rather low tone, remembering that the feeling wasnt all that unfamiliar, but that was what had scared him the most. He placed a hand on her cheek, “My shadow is cast in your bright shine. I have never felt in more control of it before I met you. And I would be damned to ever let anything seperate us,” he said, a clear vow that he meant with all his heart, sealed in a soft kiss to her lips.
He raised an eyebrow as she called it simple and felt her move his hands to her body, feeling the softness that laid beyond the swimsuit was invigorating, but it was fuelling his indecent thoughts to know what beauty laid beyond. Her words captivated him like he knew they would, he was a slave to her words ready to comply to her request. “As you wish, I shall,” he said, dragging his hands up and down her sides in a tender movement.
When she moved on top of him and kissed him, the rush of the feelings he had tried so hard to push away all bubbled up in him anew. He deepened the kiss as his hands traced the curves of her body, exploring what he already knew so well - But gentle and careful like it was the first time. He made a small goofy smile as the kiss ended, as his eyes then rather instinctively scanned the beach for a second, holding his breath and exhaling deeply as it had mostly cleared out - The people that were still there were either out in the water or too far away. He moved his eyes back to hers and pressed her closer as he listened to her addition, his goofy smile growing into a soft grin, “I’d love to,” he whispered as he stretched out his neck at the touch of her lips and let his mouth stay slightly open as he sighed with pleasure. He closed his eyes and spread his legs a bit as she pushed against his groin, making a soft grunt as he moved his head down to look into her eyes with desire as clear as day, “You’re tempting the hungry devil in me, my lovely fiancée,” he warned her in a soft growl, barely able to contain the lust in his tone. His hands slid down her sides to her bottom, grabbing a firm hold of her butt as he pressed her closer to him. If the remaining people were to look, he couldnt care less. Nothing else in this moment mattered more than her. His breath trembling as he squeezed his hands and pulled her closer, making her feel just how much he wanted her. But then he suddenly hesitated, closing his eyes as he made a pained expression, “We’re lacking protection,” he mumbled in defeat as he opened his eyes and looked at her. God how he wanted her, the desire was undeniably painful at this point.
