Wearing an overly laced nightgown, Shi Yen found herself near the pool of her yard.
She gazed into the pool, the sun dancing against the soft ripples of the water. She stepped down the stairs of the pool, slowly emerging. The water sparkled against her skin as she kept descending until her entire body submerged.
She then resurfaced, gasping for air slightly; her long dark hair slicked back. Her sheer nightgown wore down heavily as thin streaks of water glistened across her skin.
She heard a splash from behind.
Her heart sped up quickly right before she felt a firm grasp on one of her wrists from behind her. She slowly turned around, resting a palm over her thundering chest. In front of her was Yuan Shun, shirtless; his black hair was dripping wet. His chest was glorifying broad. Her breath hitched as she itched to run a hand down his skin, cursing herself for even thinking it.
