Sea Storm: Children of the Waves (15 page)

“Only if I will it.”

She turned to look at him. “What do you
mean, if you will it?”

Thunder rumbled overhead. “Do you trust
me?”

“Yeah, but what does that—”

He kissed her. Without breaking contact,
he picked her up and walked out into the sea. Thunder continued to rumble
directly above them, though no clouds graced the evening sky.

She held on to his shoulders. “Are you
going to tell me what’s going on?”

Zek didn’t stop until they were far
enough out and they couldn’t stand. They treaded water. He kept one arm
circling her hips while lightning danced across the water around them. The
bolts enclosed them in a circle but they remained unharmed.

“What—how?” Des exclaimed glancing
frantically at the electricity sparking too near them. Not quite sure what the
hell happened.

“I have told you I am a son of Poseidon.
Each of his children has a gift. Some stronger than others. Like landwalkers
have individual talents, so do the Children. Xavior can talk to and control
any, well most, creatures of the sea. Others of our people can do so to a
lesser degree. We also have two sisters, and one has this ability also. Aaron
is our strongest fighter. He can create a pulse of water that hits you with the
force of an eighteen-ton wheeler. Cyrus is a telekinetic.”

“And you?”

“I control the power of a storm. Thunder
and lightning are mine to call.”

She chuckled. “I see. That’s what you
meant when you said something about power earlier. I thought it was just a
metaphor or something. I remember lightning striking the sharks that day you
saved me. I thought it was weird…but it was you.”

He nodded. “I would let nothing harm
you.”

“I know. Well, is that all you can do?
Which is pretty powerful stuff.”

“Yes. So, I need you to know, any of our
offspring might possess any of these powers, or others to varying degrees.”

At first, too stunned to reply to what
he’d said, she could only stare at him. Unsure really which issue to address
first…The thought that they might have children or that they would also have
powers. She went with the most obvious. “I know we’ve had sex without a
condom.”

He raised his eyebrows. “Several times.”

“I want you to know I’ve never been so
lax. For some reason with you, sense seems to fly out the window.” She took a
deep breath. “But I’m on the pill, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

He frowned. “Des, I love you. And we will
be married one day, sooner rather than later. But do you not want my children?”

She read the worry in his beautiful sea
green eyes. The lightning still dancing around them reflected in those depths.
Yes. She did. She shook her head. “Yes. Someday.”

“Soon.”

“Soon.”

The truth of those words resonated from
her core. She didn’t know who moved first but suddenly, they were flush against
each other, their bodies entwined. Their lips fused together as they sank to
the ocean floor. No matter what she would
never
leave him.
I love you.
She projected
to him.

As
I you, my Hali.
