Lauren s satchel had a gift for Naiya something the Nymph of Stillwaters had never encountered before She knew water in all its forms rain mist springs even tears But this was different When Lauren handed her the small glistening bottle Naiya opened it with wide-eyed curiosity The texture the warmth it wasn t like anything she d felt before At first she blinked in confusion then giggled Her instincts took over and began to spread it across her face her neck her chest marveling at how it clung to her skin This wasn t water It was thicker Stickier Needier And she loved it This wet is forever she whispered smiling as it sank into her like a spell Thank you Lauren I didn t know I could feel this way Now the nymph s favorite kind of wet doesn t come from her springs at all
