Chereads / The Arranged Rings / Chapter 23 - 23. Beach

Chapter 23 - 23. Beach

The next morning I awoke to the waves crashing against the shores and birds singing. I fluttered my eyes open gently, to see his angelic face. He was still fast asleep. I only realized now he wasn't wearing a shirt! I gasped a bit. I felt so warm and safe. It was so calm. Then I realized our position. His hand was up my shirt! And on my butt!! Since I was wearing lingerie, his hand was on my bare skin. My cheeks just flushed red. Oh my god. To be honest the lingerie was really

comfy.

But I didn't feel uncomfortable, or weirded

out. I felt safe and warm. I didn't mind it too

much, so I cuddled him some more. His face was smushed against the pillow and his lips slightly parted cutely. He was quite adorable besides his sternness. I felt him squeeze my butt cheek for a moment before pulling me closer to his bare chest. He peeked his eyes open slowly, looking at me. "Good morning sweetheart....." he spoke in his husky morning voice." Good morning....." I replied softly. Then I gasped. My morning breath! Stupid Gaeun!!!! He didn't seem to care much though. He tangled his feee hand in my hair, while his other hand remained on my butt cheek. I looked at his tattoos. They were very interesting.. couldn't help my lift my fingers and trace them individually examining them for a moment.

I felt as if these tattoos just added to his mysteriousness. He was just so peculiar. But

maybe that was one thing I liked about him.

Our days were flying by quickly. Sadly. We

only had 4 days left. I sighed. "Don't sigh."

He demanded. "Sorry." I smiled. He seemed

confused as to why I smiled. I was confused too.

We were going to the beach today! I wore a

black two piece set. Thankfully it didn't show

much of my flabby skin. I noticed his eyes glued to my body as I took off my white cover up. "W-what?" I asked now feeling conscious of my body. "Nothing, you just look really hot." He said before pulling his shirt over his head.I was shocked at his blunt statement. His now very defined abs were on full display.

No control yourself Gaeun!

Soon he held out his hand. I looked at it for a

moment. "What?" I asked. "Aren't you coming??" He asked. "Uhh, maybe later." I declined, sitting down on the lounge chair. "What do you mean later???" He questioned. "You can go if you like." I said, opening my book ready to get a tan. Just then I noticed he swooped down and clasped his hands around my thighs. Before I new it I was

over his shoulder. "Ian!!" I squealed. He slapped my bare butt. I yelped a bit, at the

playful gesture. Soon I heard the waves of the water become closer. "Ian you better

not drop me in the wa-" I was cut off when I

went flying into the cold clear water. I stood up quickly, glaring at him.

I splashed the salty water all over him soaking his hair. He shook of the water before running his hands through his hair, pushing it back. He death glared me. I actually became afraid since his glare could literally kill you. I tried to escape as quick as possible with a smile. Suddenly in the air again. "Ian!!" I shrieked. "Yes?"He spoke casually. "Put me down!!" I yelled. "No thanks I'm enjoying the view." He slapped my butt again.

He threw me again in the water. I giggled in

delight. He grabbed me again pulling me close to him. I rubbed my eyes making my vision clearer. He moved my hair behind my ears gently. Then I saw something shocking
