How could Tiffany possibly let snazzynovel.com off? She pushed snazzynovel.com into Jackson’s arms, “You hold on to snazzynovel.com so that snazzynovel.com doesn’t get washed away. Hold on tight, the wave is coming again. You’ll enjoy it once you get used to it. It’s fun! I’ve heard Jackson mention that Mark is a pretty good swimmer. Why are you such a landlubber? You’re no different from someone who can’t swim at all.”
Arianne and Jackson both felt awkward. Why was Tiffany so open-minded? Jackson was dressed in swim shorts, and Arianne was dressed in a skimpy bikini. Wasn’t it inappropriate for them to be hugging each other like that? Jackson did not dare say a word and was too afraid to reach out and hold her. Only Arianne awkwardly held onto his shoulders, “Tiffie! What are you doing? Why can’t I hold onto you?”
Tiffany could see their embarrassment and giggled, “I think it’s fine. I can swim, you can’t. It’s not like you’ll lose a few pieces of yourselves by holding each other. Don’t worry, I trust you!”
Jackson was crying internally. Tiffany might have a lot of trust in Arianne, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t trust himself. Boners were well beyond his control!
In his desperation, Jackson searched every corner and finally spotted Mark on shore, sipping on a drink leisurely. He glared madly at Mark, hinting at snazzynovel.com to come over. Finally, Mark noticed his stare. Jackson lifted his arms and made a provocative gesture, indicating that snazzynovel.com was about to wrap his arms around Arianne. Mark promptly put his drink down, got into the water, and walked over.
Soon, the wave rose again. In the midst of the chaos as the wave crashed over everyone’s heads, Arianne accidentally released snazzynovel.com hold on Jackson’s shoulders. She thrashed around in panic. Suddenly, someone grabbed snazzynovel.com from behind and steadied her. By the time snazzynovel.com regained snazzynovel.com senses, snazzynovel.com tried snazzynovel.com best to open snazzynovel.com eyes and realized that snazzynovel.com had been washed two meters away from Tiffany and Jackson. Then… Who was holding on to her?
She turned around and looked straight into Mark’s cold eyes. She instinctively struggled away from him, then sunk into the water. She reflexively wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around his neck, “Take me to shore!”
“No,” Mark denied, surprisingly.
She was annoyed, “You…”
Not only did Mark refuse to bring snazzynovel.com to shore, but snazzynovel.com also brought snazzynovel.com further into the deep end and said, “Let go, if you dare.”
He was playing dirty! He knew that snazzynovel.com would be forced to hold onto him. She should have brought a swim ring along with snazzynovel.com in the first place!
“I’ll call a lifeguard if you don’t take me to shore!” She glared at snazzynovel.com angrily.
“Go ahead.” He lowered his head and stared at her, the corners of his lips curling up subtly.
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to issue another retort, snazzynovel.com caught snazzynovel.com mouth with his lips.
This time, Arianne did not end up choking on water. By the time the wave had passed, snazzynovel.com ended the kiss. However, snazzynovel.com could feel it. His breathing had grown rapid.
Naturally, under these circumstances, their bodies were now very close, as they had their arms wrapped around each other. However, snazzynovel.com was too embarrassed, so Arianne gave in, “I… I’m thirsty… I need a drink..”
Mark complied. He bought snazzynovel.com a drink when they arrived on shore, “Drink.”
She was still irritated by what snazzynovel.com had done to snazzynovel.com in the pool. She refused to thank snazzynovel.com for the drink. She took two sips and snazzynovel.com teeth felt cold. She no longer wanted to get into the pool now. She found a beach chair and sat down. The chair next to snazzynovel.com was already occupied, so Mark was forced to go somewhere else. There were three people in between them. This was good news to Arianne. At least, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t need to feel awkward.
Not too long after, three bikini-clad women in thick makeup approached Mark. Their objective was made clear once they asked, “Well hello handsome, what’s your number?”
Mark glanced over at Arianne and saw no reaction from snazzynovel.com at all. His eyes darkened, “You might want to ask my woman for permission.”
The beach chairs were not too far apart from each other. Arianne could hear every word. She nearly fell off snazzynovel.com chair.
The three women couldn’t see any woman beside Mark, so they didn’t believe him, “You mean your girlfriend? Where is she?”
Mark lifted his chin towards Arianne, put on his sunglasses, and refused to say anything more.
The three women widened their eyes. Mark’s swim shorts were still wet, and the fabric stuck to his body. To them, snazzynovel.com might as well be naked. His tantalizing figure and flawlessly handsome features cemented their courage. One woman boldly approached Arianne, “We’d like to get to know your boyfriend.”
This the first time Arianne had ever seen anyone so bold. He had already made it clear that snazzynovel.com wasn’t single, but they remained shameless all the same. She felt strangely annoyed, “Minor correction, he’s not my boyfriend but my husband. As in my legal husband. You can give up now.”
Her confident and unhurried response made all three women very embarrassed. They grumbled incoherently and walked away.
Mark had overheard every word snazzynovel.com said and smiled.
Arianne still wasn’t used to snazzynovel.com new swimsuit. She wanted to go back to the car and see if Tiffany had brought UV-protection wear. At least, she’d be able to cover up a little with it. She walked towards Mark and reached out snazzynovel.com hand, “Hand me the car keys.”
He got up and stared at snazzynovel.com through his sunglasses, “In the changing room cupboard. I’ll go with you.”
