The partial moon shone and and left glimmering ripples over the lake's surface as he broke through. Lock barely had time to notice it before something tackled him and pulled him straight down again. Several thrills rippled through him as he saw a blur of white amongst the depths. The creature's tentacles caught both their ankles and pulled them even farther into the depths of the lake.

Lock smirked as his eyes adjusted under the water and took in Lillith's face. The murky, slimy water distorted her features and only made him want her more. The initial fright now gone, he wrapped his arms around her chest and moved to kiss her. He moved one hand to the base of her head both to keep her close, and to feel her hair shifting through his fingers as the currents rushed by. Lock slipped his tail around one of her legs. As they weren't trying to escape, the creature simply held them in place, as though disappointed that they'd stopped the game.
