Free Web NovelChapter 99: Let’s go for a swim I
Lyvana had her eyes closed pointing to the entrance.
A small, gray ball of fluff was sitting on the cashmere blanket.
It was a tiny rabbit with long, floppy ears and a pink nose that wouldn’t stop twitching. It looked up at Julian with big, dark eyes for a second, then gave a quick wiggle and hopped out into the garden.
Julian let out a low, relieved chuckle.
Reaching out, he gently pulled Lyvana’s hand away from her face.
"It’s okay, baby. It’s just a rabbit."
Lyvana opened one eye, then the other. She looked at the empty spot on the blanket where the soft fur had been just a moment ago.
A small, embarrassed smile tugged at her lips as she realized her monster was just a garden guest.
"Don’t worry, am here to protect you from all the rabbits in the garden."
She playfully nudged him with her shoulder and laughed softly.
"You’re ridiculous."
"And you’re adorable when you’re scared," he replied, pulling her closer and kissing her cheeks.
Lyvana giggled, snuggling into Julian’s side.
He pressed a kiss to her hair.
He then got up offering her his hand.
"Come on. Let’s get you out of here before another dangerous creature shows up."
Lyvana laughed softly and placed her hand in his. He pulled her up gently, steadying her as they stepped out of the tent.
The moment they stepped outside, she gasped.
The garden stretched out before her. The lawn rolled out toward a mirror-still lake, reflecting the soft blue of the morning sky.
There was a small forest on the far bank.
Massive, ancient stones were scattered across the grass, surrounded by bursts of purple, pink, and orange flowers that looked as if they had been hand-placed by an artist.
Lyvana took a slow breath, the clean, crisp air filling her lungs.
"It’s... beautiful," she whispered.
"I was hoping you’d like it. Come on," Julian said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Let’s go for a swim then."
Lyvana’s eyes went wide as she looked at the vast, open lawn and the bright morning sun. "Julian, no! We are outside and it’s broad daylight. Anyone could see us."
"No one can see us, trust me. There are security sensors all around. Not even a drone can go by without being shot down. The only eyes on us right now belong to the birds."
He didn’t wait for an answer. He took her hand and started to pull her toward the edge of the sparkling lake.
Lyvana stumbled after him, still a bit reluctant.
"Wait!" she gasped, looking at the dark, still water near the trees. "There are no crocodiles in there, right?"
Julian chuckled.
"Crocodiles?" he repeated, shaking his head. "Lyvana, we are in a private estate, not the Amazon. I promise, the only thing in that water is water."
Lyvana giggled at his choice of words. But then Julian started to undress. Before she could react, he tossed his shirt onto the grass.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting ready to swim."
Lyvana immediately looked away, her cheeks flushing a deep pink. She focused on a small purple flower near her feet, her heart hammering against her ribs.
Even though she had seen him naked a few times, it wasn’t in broad daylight.
"Shy?" Julian teased.
She could hear the rustle of fabric and then the soft thud of his jeans hitting the ground. She kept her gaze fixed on the lake.
She heard his footsteps on the grass as he slowly walked towards her, until he was standing right behind her.
He slowly turned her around to face him. His chest was bare and his muscles firm. She didn’t dare to look down.
He reached for the small buttons of her silk blouse.
One by one, he undid them with steady, careful fingers. He moved slowly, as if he wanted to savor every second. He slid the fabric off her shoulders, letting the blouse fall onto the soft green grass.
Next, his hands moved to the waist of her short skirt. In a flash, it was off too.
Lyvana felt a shiver of excitement as his fingers reached for the clasp of her bra. With a soft click, it was gone, followed quickly by her panties.
She stood there completely naked.
Julian didn’t look away. His dark eyes were intense, tracing every line of her body with a look of pure admiration. He didn’t say a word, but the way he looked at her made her even more shy than she already was.
Lyvana instinctively wrapped her arms around herself, her cheeks flushing under his gaze.
"Julian..." she whispered. "You’re starring."
He stepped closer.
"You don’t have to hide from me," he said quietly.
His hand lifted, brushing gently against her arm before he slowly guided her hands down.
His eyes met hers again. "You are beautiful. I can’t wait to see your belly grow.
Without another word, he began to lead her towards the edge of the water.
They stepped into the water together, the warmth of the morning sun making it just right against their skin.
Lyvana let out a soft breath. The water felt good.
Julian kept a steady hand at her waist, guiding her further in. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Better than you expected right?" he murmured.
She nodded, a small smile forming. Then took a deep breath and dipped her head under the water. When she came back up, shaking her hair, the cold lake had made her skin tingle. Her nipples were hard and peaked in the cool morning air.
Julian didn’t even try to look away. His dark eyes were fixed on her nipples, full of hunger.
"You’re ogling," Lyvana teased, splashing a bit of water at his chest.
She quickly sank deeper into the lake until the water covered her breasts, hiding herself from his intense stare.
Julian laughed. "Come closer and I might stop."
Lyvana laughed . "Oh?"
He moved closer and gripped her waist and lifted her easily, her legs wrapping around him.
