Free Savior by Eli Harlow

grumbled to herself and disappeared into the field. Alyssa stifled a giggle as she watched the sun bounce off Marcus’s well-muscled shoulders. She hung her legs over either side of the branch and leaned forward over the branch. Her chin rested on her hands as she continued to watch him. Her toes could just barely reach him and she stretched one out to brush his hair.
                  Marcus felt something touch his hair but dismissed it and continued to practice. Again he felt the touch and this time he made sure to look up out of the corner of his eye as he was cutting so he could view what it was that had touched him. Alyssa sat on a high tree branch, her bare feet dangling down and slowly kicking back and forth. He had figured that she did not realize she was spotted and decided to practice for a little while longer before leaving the riverbank. He doubled back in a circle to the tree where she had been sitting and silently floated up to its branches. His catlike steps went unheard by the angel and he approached her turned back and laid the point of his sword between her shoulder blades and poked Alyssa gently.
                  Her body froze and she looked over her shoulder. Marcus had startled her, but this time she was able to control her reaction and just smiled at him. She carefully turned around to face him but lost her grip and fell screaming into the cool water. The water was deep enough that she did not hurt herself and as she came up to the surface she spat a stream into his face. She stood up and shook out her soaked wings. Her whole body was completely drenched and she looked mournfully at her new dress. “Well I guess I should go change.” She paused and smiled up at him. “Was it your plan all along to get me naked again Marcus?”
                  Marcus gasped loudly, “Absolutely not!” With that he dove into the water after her and surfaced right in front of her body. He drew back his hand and sent a wave of water directly at the angel, which completely soaked her wings and hair. He gave a polite little chuckle and dove into the water to avoid any possible counter attack.
                  Alyssa laughed and dove in after him. She caught up to him quickly and rested her hands on his hips. She swam to his back and wrapped her arms around his stomach as they swam together. Her hands found the bottom of his shirt and slid under it. Soon they were on the top of his pants. In one quick motion she pulled his pants down to his knees and swam to the shore.
                  By the time that he came up to the surface she was standing on the grass, shaking the water from her wings. “Well it was a fun swim, but now I need to go get changed. Goodbye Marcus,” she called merrily to him as she took off in the direction of the cabin. After a few minutes she yelled back over her shoulder, “You’re welcome to join me if you wish.”
                  Marcus readjusted his clothing and stepped out of the river. He thought it was odd that she had touched him, but at the same time it strangely made him happy. He retrieved his swords and made the walk back to the cabin. His light clothing had dried quickly, though his skin was still somewhat moist so he went into the bathroom to obtain a towel. He gently tapped on the door to insure that room was vacant; no answer was received so he stepped into the doorway.
                  Alyssa laughed and smiled as she pulled a clean, dry gown over her body. She walked up to him and ran a finger over his slightly bristled chin before disappearing into the bathroom. She returned with a silver hairbrush and sat softly on the bed. The brush untangled her wet her quickly as she continued to watch him intently, a small smile curving her lips.
                  Marcus dried his arms and hair and looked over at her curiously. Her eyes followed his movements so he decided to simply put the towel under
