“Clarke! The water is too cold!”

The Commander watched as the determined blonde smiled at her then waded further into the icy waters and the young leader felt herself overcome with a longing even the coldest winter could not suppress. 

Moving as a woman possessed, she surged forward into the water, her boots weighing her down step by step, until she reached her goal, until she had wrapped the naked woman in her arms and hoisted her high above, spinning like a drunken top with the overwhelming joy of her love.

Arms outstretched, Clarke laughed until the sting of the cold air pricked her skin, until she felt dizzy enough to faint, delirious and happy.  She looked down at the shining green eyes fixed on her with complete devotion.

“Get me out of here, babe. My tits are gonna freeze off.”
