Summary
The world seems to still, as her vision clears and she takes in the sight of the captain—Ekko—the man who’d been hunting her for months. His knee digs into her stomach, scowl marring his pretty face. Jinx can do nothing but wait for her fate to be sealed, his heartbeat so loud in her ears it’s almost enough to mimic what would have beat in her own chest.
It takes her four full seconds to realize he’s hesitating.
The pressure on her neck lessens, and the air that flows in tastes almost as sweet as the fresh inhales of ocean water. She’s close enough to Ekko’s face to smell the heavy breaths as he exhales, close enough to see the detail in his brown eyes.
“…Powder?”
or
In which Ekko is a siren hunter, and Jinx is the infamous merperson who’s been tormenting his crew for months.
