Something holding her back

Ethan POV

"Just relax your body.''I said to Petal as we slowly entered the water.

Petal held onto my shoulders tightly, she was scared though the water was just above our waist."Relax your body. Yes just like that. See, nothing scary."

Finally, Petal relaxed her body but she was still holding onto me. Her face was so funny. She was looking around us as if she was afraid that a monster Was going to come out of the water.

"Petal, look around you. Everyone is enjoying their time. " I said as I turned her body around and she squirmed in fear and held into my arms.

I wanted to laugh so hard right now but it will only make her feel uncomfortable. I supported her weight from behind. We didn't dive any further because she still wasn't ready. "See, there's nothing in the water. I want you to trust me on this. Okay?" I said to her and she nodded her head slowly.

"Good. Now, try to turn around on your own." I instructed her.

She hesitated at first but she didn't."See, it's easy. Now we're going to practice step by step. Okay?" I asked and nodded her head, smiling and feeling happy.

Seeing how happy she was, I felt glad that I took her to the beach today and didn't delay it to another day. Petal never asked me for anything and the fact that such a simple request made me feel good. Though I didn't like the fact the men on the beach were eyeing her, I didn't blame them. Who would be able to not look at such beauty, especially in the sexy swimming suit I picked.

We spent two hours teaching Petal how to swim. She learned just a few things and was scared all the time. I noticed as if something was holding her back, like a trauma or a bad memory. Once she felt exhausted she asked me if we could go back to the hotel.

Petal was more mentally exhausted than physically. I didn't push her to tell me what's going on because she will when she's ready.

"Do you want to take a shower first?" I asked her and she nodded her head."Okay, go first." I added but shook her head no.

"Join me." She said, signaling and I gladly accepted the invite.

After we had a shower, I filled the bathtub with warm water and lavender essential oil before we sat inside the tub. Inhaling the calming scent of the lavender, Petal closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest. I bent down kissing her head. She smiled and looked up at me and I could tell that her smile wasn't real, she just didn't want me to worry about her.

But how can I not do that, when she's the most important person in this world to me.

Reaching to push her hair away from her face, I bent down as I angled her face, pressing my lips on hers. I kissed her slowly at first as I traced her body with my hand underwater, grabbing everywhere I could reach.

I understand both her mind and body very well. Once I'm done with her, she will tell me what's been bothering her.

I deepened the kiss as I pushed her legs apart, She reached to touch my face and that was her sign of approval.

Gently massaging her inner thighs, I slowly made my way up. At first, I cupped her womanhood, massaging it slowly and she trembled but kept her legs open.

Parting her lower lips with my hand, I teased her sensitive bud with my index finger, slowly and steadily, making sure that she was wet enough.

Petal broke the kiss, breathing heavily. Reaching to place her hands on my thighs, I felt her nails digging into me but I didn't mind the pain coming from her. Petals always feel the need to grab onto something whenever we're intimate.

"Does it feel good?" I whispered into her ear as I reached to kiss, lick and suck the area behind her ear.

I didn't give her the chance to reply as I pushed two fingers inside her, her hips jerked at the sudden-rough invasion. I started to fuck her tight entrance with my fingers, the water making it easy to slide in and out of her, speeding up my movements, making sure to hit her weak spot.

Petal was struggling with the intense pleasure, her head falling back, eyes half closed, parted lips, chest rising and falling. She was a beautiful mass.

She was close, her walls tightening around my fingers. I focused on her face as I continued fingering down there. I love to watch her as she climaxes. She orgasmed, her back arched, her legs trembling, her insides pulsing but I didn't stop until I pushed her over the edge for the second time.

"You did good." I praised the exhausted Petal as I let her rest in my arms.

She blushed and covered her face with her hands. After all this time she still feels shy. I think her shyness will reduce if we have a child together. I love the idea. To have a child from her would be the best gift I received.

The water was getting cold and we needed to get out or she would catch a cold. Once we were out of the bathroom, we headed towards the bed and took a long nap.
