Afloat in Affection

But before I could dwell further on the complexities of our relationship, Asher revealed yet another surprise. With the press of a button, the floor beneath us transformed, offering a breath taking view of the city below. The air was suffused with the sweet scent of jasmine, while colorful lights illuminated our surroundings. As we stood together, gazing out at the distant mountains where fireworks danced against the night sky, I couldn't help but feel a surge of gratitude towards the young master who had orchestrated this unforgettable evening. Yet, even amidst the splendor surrounding us, a sense of unease lingered, a reminder of the precarious balance between desire and duty, love and loyalty." 

The retractable roof of the swimming pool slid open at Asher's command, revealing the azure expanse beneath. Known for his aversion to dampening his attire, Asher's misstep into the pool prompted a fit of laughter from both of us. Despite his initial irritation, his demeanour softened as he joined in my amusement. However, my laughter turned to alarm as Asher, seizing the moment, playfully yanked me into the water. Panic surged through me; I had never learned to swim. Yet, Asher's strong grip around my waist lifted me safely to the surface. "We're both drenched now," I chided between giggles, though the closeness between us stirred a flutter of unease within. "My arms are growing tired; hold onto my neck," Asher instructed, and I complied, the proximity between us suddenly overwhelming. As the maids and butlers discreetly averted their gazes, Asher relinquished his grasp, and I tumbled back into the water, sputtering in protest. Undeterred, Asher continued to tease me, and we indulged in a playful exchange, shedding our inhibitions along with our clothes. Despite the merriment, a nagging thought intruded upon my mind — my fragile health, a fact often overlooked in the thrill of the moment. At a mere 38 kilograms, the prospect of pregnancy posed grave risks. Suddenly, the unexpected arrival of Asher's parents shattered the light-hearted atmosphere. Their amused observation of our intimacy prompted a rush of embarrassment, and I hastily submerged myself, only to find Asher's reassuring grip anchoring me.
