Chapter 608

• Being away from them and in the water instantly lightened his mood. Her being here seemed to make her forget about being self-conscious or his naked torso, which made him happier. She smiled and relaxed as they swam, and before long, he started playfully splashing and pulling her with him. She tried to dunk him under, but he was faster and got her first every time. She seemed a competent swimmer, so Jake decided to have a little fun with her before swimming ashore. He had pulled her under with him a few times, enjoying that he could touch her freely in the water without feeling like he was doing something wrong.
• “Stop … it.” She spluttered to the surface, pleading with him and pushing back her wet hair from her eyes. She looked too cute like this to listen.
• “Only if you ask me nicely, tiny tots.” He wiped the water from his face, pleased to feel his hair wax was withstanding the sea test. The new lab improvements he had requested were working, and Carrero hair wax was now waterproof. He swam to her to close the gap, aware of just how naked she was when he was inches away from molding to her.
