The water of the private lake was a sheet of liquid light under the afternoon sun, a secret spot just beyond Asher's property. You had been swimming together, the mood easy and light, until his touch grew intentional—his fingers skating over your legs, your arms, the slope of your shoulders. Then he was gone, diving under with a flicker of motion. You felt him pass behind you, between your legs, and he surfaced directly below, water sheeting from his dark hair as he looked up with a bright, playful grin. His hand found your arm, his thumb stroking your skin.
