Chapter 39
A waiter or so Lily thought, came out the next second after Asher was done with his question. “Welcome on board. Mr and Miss Allard. I’ll be your guide for the day, a lot of activities have been prepared in anticipation for your day here.”
Lily glanced at Asher with a grin, before turning back to the waiter. “We look forward to it. She tried to keep her voice calm, but the excitement babbling inside of her seeped into her tone, and Asher breathed out a laugh.
“How cute”
“Did you say something? He arched a brow and pointed at himself, before he quickly shook his head.
“Nothing at all.” He glanced at their guide who was staring at them with a renewed interest, and immediately cleared his throat. “Why don’t we go ahead? The day is fast running out”
The guide picked up the hint quickly and nodded. “True. Come on, and befitting for our trip ahead”
I’ll show you the rooms where you can get into something more comfortable
He led them to the different rooms, which were just directly opposite the other, before giving them the space to change. In less than 10 minutes, they both walked out almost at the same time and Lily’s mouth ran dry at the sight before her.
She has only ever seen Asher dressed casually a few times, but she has never seen him dressed this casually with his upper body bare to her eyes, begging to be devoured with how good and toned it looks.
You’ve got drool on your mouth, Mrs Allard Her heart skipped a beat at his words and she couldn’t tell if it was because of what he said or the way he addressed her. She stylishly wiped the corners of her lips and Asher laughed, causing her to roll her eyes.
“I wasn’t looking at your body”
He raised a brow, sucking his hands into his pocket, and Lily’s heart throbbed at the sight. He was gorgeous. “It’s a litle too late for the you think?”
that denial, don’t
Her eyes turned a little red and she rolled her eyes. “You can stand here and dream about me looking at your body all day. I’m going out to go have fun.” She clicked her tongue and walked away, while Asher stared at her retreating figure with a small smile on his face.
Once she disappeared out of his sight, he immediately followed after her.
“Should we try surfing!”
Asher held her hand and dragged her to the seating arena. He made her sit beside him before he popped open a glass of champagne and poured out a generous amount for the both of them
“How about we just sit and enjoy the scenery for a while first! You need to relax after working all day” He reached out and gently massaged her shoulders, “look at you, all tense.” A blissful sigh left Lily’s lips as he tenderly kneeded her shoulders, and he froze momentarily, taken aback by his body’s reaction to her sighs
“Life jackets..” A new face said, walking in with two life jackets. Asher immediately took that as an opportunity to stop the massage and create a little distance between them as he stood up and took the life jackets from him.
“Do you know how to put this on?”
“Definitely not, I’m a toddler. I’ve got no idea shit life jackets. He rolled his jacket at her to put on just like Lily expected. He walked over to her and began pusting it on. “Wait, what are you doing? I can put it on myself
es at her o “Hush little baby, and let Daddy take care of
obviously sarcastic answer, but instead of throwing the life
of you
Lily’s eyes immediately widened at his words, while Asher went about buckling the life jacket without a clue on what his words were doing to the woman before him. He double–checked his work and a proud smile graced his face.
“There! All done!* His tone fell at the last words as he rook in Lily’s facial expression. “What’s wrong?”
“Umm..” She trapped back to reality, swallowing to wet her dry mouth. “You are done.” She said, noticing for the first time, and she patted the life Jacker. All done!” She repeated and chuckled but Asher wasn’t fooled by her antics.
slowly
* What’s wrong. Lily? Did I say… His brows shot up as the realization dawned on him. His lips that were pulled into a thin line from worry slo curved up in a smirk. He touted and shook his head as he stood up. “You’re so dirty minded, Lily Allard Who would have thought!”
Her face burned from embarrassment and she stood to her feet as well, hitting him squarely on the chest. “I am not dirty–minded. You are the person going about spewing–Spewing..
“Spewing what?”

Chapter 39
“Dirty things! I’m leaving you.” She immediately grabbed her glass of champagne and walked away, while Asher was left trying to hold in his laugh.
A splash and a scream however broke him out of whatever amusement he was having as panic shot through him. He immediately ran off in the direction Lily walked off to, and true to his suspicion, she was the one that fell into the water, and despite the life jacket holding her up, she kept flapping her arms desperately.
Without thinking twice, he immediately jumped in and swarn to her.
However just as he was close enough to her, she immediately stopped flapping her arms and burst into laughter. “I got you!” She said in between laughs, but Asher couldn’t muster any form of amusement.
“Was that supposed to be funny?” Lily’s laughter immediately died down and a small smile tugged nervously on her lips.
“It was just a prank, Asher, I..
“A prank?!” He cut in, his voice rising a few octaves. “You think a situation involving life or death is a prank, Lily?” Her eyes widened and she struggled for words to defend herself. “I freaking thought you were drowning and dying, and you tell me it is a prank? Who plays such pranks! What would you have done if it suddenly became real? What if your life jacket slipped off? What if you…” Guilt and shame curled in the pit of Lily’s stomach
“Asher…” She didn’t even get to speak before he turned and swam away, but she didn’t fail to note the slight tremble in his steps when he got on the yacht and walked away.
