Lurch spoke and his words were reassuring "I'll be here every step. Nothing bad is ever going to happen to you."

"So, you are not going to let the fish eat my carcass after you have killed me?"

"No. I am not." He assured me.

Strangely enough, I believed him.

We left the car ditched at a grass hill near the beach promenade. Before we headed down to the sand, I removed my tank top and my jean shorts leaving me with just my black two-piece bikini.

Stone also removed his clothes until all that was on him was a pair of black shorts that exposed his muscular legs. His lack of shirt showed off his abs once again.

I doubted I would ever get used to the sight of him.

As we walked side by side down the path towards the shore, the giant peered down at me. His eyes flicked over every inch of my skin before he let out a string of rough deep sounding curses.

The beach was empty. I was glad for the void of people because it meant that if I ran away crying then I would not have an audience.

However, I promised myself that I would cry as it gave a certain annoying Goliath enough material to tease me for the rest of our lives.

My feet reached the part of the land where the blue met the sand. As the water engulfed my feet, I let out a deep breath. I did so every time a wave reached the shore.

To distract myself, I decided to try and push Stone into the sea.

I started by nudging him. When he did not move a single millimetre, I dug my feet into the sand before putting my back into it.

"Medusa, what are you doing?"

After two minutes of using all my strength to move the boulder of a man, I gave up and finally looked up at his amused face.

"I was trying to push you in the water." I mumbled.

"Were you?" He smirked "I didn't notice. I though a fly had landed on me."

His comment gave me more of a reason to push him in the water so I tried again.

My attempt did not last long because he effortlessly bent down, put one large arm around the back of my legs and hoisted me up until I was haunched over his shoulder.

"Put me down!" I demanded while trying to push away from him "I get it. You are really strong."

This guy had to be close to seven foot and had to have weighed more than three hundred pounds in muscle.

When he did not put me down, I turned my head to look at the back of his head and I said "Are you enjoying the view?"

I felt him move against me. His head moved downwards towards the part of my body that was closest to his face.
