Erik had meant to turn his back and give her privacy. But then it had
happened so fast he hadn't had a chance to turn. Or that's what he'd say if
asked. In reality, he feasted his eyes and was thankful the water was murky
enough to hide most of the damage if she stayed far enough away. With half
his mind set on reminding the rest of his body that ravishing royalty was
likely to lose him a head, or something else he valued, he stepped closer
to where she stood and held his hand out to her above the water.
"Then we'll go to where ye feel more secure. For now I just want ye t'stand
and get a feel fer the current, the waves, the feel of the water. Move yer
arms around a bit, feel the resistance of it."
