Chapter 47: Forbidden Depths

(Asher’s POV)

 

 

Asher, Yas, and Mandi knew that they wouldn't have any contact with the four divers once they went underwater, but it didn't make the toned surfer feel any better about it.

“What was that?” Yasmine asked, taking a step back from the helm. “Did I hit something?”
