The steaming waters of the heavenly pond rippled gently as I leaned against the warm rocks at its edge, a half-empty glass of wine dangling loosely from my fingers. The air was thick with the scent of exotic flowers blooming at the water's edge. All of it was mingling with the sweetness of Nebula's presence.
"Ahh—this is so good," I sighed, tilting my head back as I allowed the warmth of the pool. "So relaxing…"
Ripples in the water caught my attention. Nebula was swimming toward me, her silhouette gliding gracefully through the shimmering pond. Her hair behind her, blue threads weaving with the water. She emerged, the droplets on her skin catching the light.
She came right before me. Naked and perfect, she rested her head on my chest, her fingers trailing delicately along my cheek.
