"Camilla!!!"
Damon reacted with terrifying speed.
Before she could even hit the ground, Damon dropped his sword directly into the sand. He rushed forward, launching his large body across the space between them.
He reached out his strong arms. He caught her securely by the waist just before her back hit the sand.
But his forward momentum was too great to stop. He knew they were both going to fall.
In a split second, Damon twisted his body, using his own broad, muscular back to shield her from the impact.
They crashed into the sand together.
Thud.
Damon hit the ground first. Camilla fell directly on top of him.
The momentum of their fall caused them to roll over once in the soft sand.
When they finally stopped moving, their positions were reversed.
She was lying flat on her back on the sand.
Damon was on top.
