Chapter Text
♡ Theon lives for the beach. Loud music, sunglasses, drinks in the cooler, he’s already in swim trunks before Sansa even steps onto the sand.
♡ When she takes off her cover-up and he sees her bikini, his jaw actually drops. He whistles low and shameless, not caring who hears.
♡ “Seven hells, princess. Trying to kill me?”
♡ He insists on putting sunscreen on her, dragging it out just to tease her. “Gotta make sure my queen doesn’t burn. Can’t have anyone else enjoying the view.”
♡ He gets super protective when other guys glance her way, throwing an arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side. “Keep walking, lads. Nothing to see here.”
♡ Sansa rolls her eyes at his dramatics, but the blush on her cheeks betrays her. Deep down, she loves how open he is about wanting her.
♡ In the water, he splashes her first then immediately pretends to surrender when she retaliates, just so he can scoop her up and carry her laughing through the waves.
The sand was still warm beneath them, the crash of waves covering their breathless laughter.
Theon tugged the beach towel higher, wrapping it around their shoulders like a flimsy secret. They were hidden only by shadows and the sound of the sea, and the thought made him grin against her ear.
“Not very proper of you, princess,” he whispered, his voice rough with amusement.
Sansa’s fingers curled in his shirt, pulling him closer. “And yet you don’t seem to mind.
♡ After sneaking some private time under the towel, Sansa is utterly spent, collapsing onto the sand with a soft groan. Theon flops beside her, tousled hair falling over his forehead, looking equally worn but smug.
♡ Sansa doesn’t have the energy to tease him anymore, she just lets the sun warm her, curling slightly against him as he drapes an arm over her shoulders.
♡ Theon grins, brushing stray hair from her face. “You’re mine,” he murmurs softly, like a quiet claim just between them.
♡ She hums in response, eyes half-closed, letting herself sink fully into the moment. “I think… I’ll stay like this forever,” she whispers, voice thick with exhaustion.
♡ He smirks, pressing a kiss to her temple. “Forever’s a long time, princess. But for now… this is perfect.”
