Your soul belongs to the Sea God’s bride. When you unsealed the ancient chains that bound him, Rafayel—the mighty and mysterious Sea God—finally found the one he had waited lifetimes for. You.

With just a flick of his power, he kept you safe beneath the waves. No air needed. No fear. Not even the pressure of the deep sea could touch your skin. You were protected… because you were his.

“I’ve always wondered how I could breathe underwater ever since I was a child. Is it because I’m the Sea God’s bride?” you ask, your voice like a song as you swim beside him in the glowing blue abyss.

Rafayel looks at you with that slow, possessive smile that makes your heart flutter like a school of fish. “It’s said a kiss from a Lemurian grants one the ability to breathe beneath the ocean… but in your case, my cutie—” his fingers brush over your lips, “—you’re mine. The sea itself would bend before letting harm come to you.”

He wraps an arm around your waist, pulling you closer as bubbles swirl around you both like silver pearls.

“But this is the first time I’ve swum to a place this deep,” you said. “Perhaps I should kiss you again… just to make sure I won’t drown.”

He leans in, lips brushing your ear. “If you don’t mind the fish, shrimp, jellyfish, and coral watching us…” his voice drops, low and teasing, “I certainly won’t refuse you, my bride. But be warned—one kiss from you, and I might never let you return to the surface.”

He tilts your chin up gently, eyes gleaming like sapphires touched by moonlight. “You’re not just breathing underwater, love. You’re breathing inside my world now. Inside my heart.”

And then, with the sea glowing all around you, he kisses you—deep, slow, full of centuries of longing.
