Maddi nipped his lip playfully, still panting from their shared heated bliss, "Oh yes....." she chuckled, kissing him softly, licking where she had just used her teeth with the tip of her tongue, "The best catch of all," she raised herself on her hands so she was looking down at him her eyes pure pools of love belying her very cheeky smile, "You...." she wriggled playfully, "I caught you," her thighs gripped him as though she was also saying she wasn't going to let him go, her breasts still trembling slightly from her quickened breathing.<br/><br/>"I think this is very energetic, this kind of fishing........." she teased as she sat back and trailed her fingers down his chest, pausing for a moment to caress his nipples with feather light touches, "I think if this carries on we'll need siestas....." she looked a little serious as if some inner sadness had coiled its way round her heart, "I've never wanted anyone as much as I want you Elijah........"<br/><br/>She got to her feet swiftly, moving away quickly so he could not see the tears gathering in her eyes, stepping back up onto the rock and picking up the line and dropping it into the bucket, clipping her knife back onto her belt she left her clothes where they were and stepped into the water, calling over he shoulder, "Come on lazybones we've work to do......"<br/><br/>She waded out, tying the drawstring of the canvas bucket as she went,and then slipped the rope over her head and threaded one arm though so she could swim with it easily. She swam hard and fast the short distance to the reef, hearing Elijah not far behind. Clambering up onto the smooth rocks she breathed in deeply, licking the salt from her lips.<em>'One step at a time Maddi' </em>she thought to herself, managing to turn and smile, holding her hand out, and down to the man she knew was already holding her heart already in his grasp,  "Ready to kick some fish butt?" she teased.
