Chapter 54
(Myra’s POV)
“It looks ok~ayy, I guess” twirling around, I looked myself up in the mirror inside the makeshift changing room. The upper half clung to my figure and the white bottoms, though not very revealing, were just touching my ass cheek line.
Letting my hair loose, I was glad that the suit had a cover up with it, making me not so uncomfortable, ’Whosoever bought it is actually quite thoughtful’ I admit.
Making my way out, I felt a bit self-conscious, tucking my hair behind my ear although I didn’t know just why the hell I was even nervous. ’It’s just a swimsuit, hmmm. Be confident p>
I walked confidently, or I might say I was trying to be confident as I could tell four pair of eyes were watching my every step, or rather boring at me intently.
As my feet got closer and closer, I saw Elio who was the only one dressed up earlier, has removed his clothes and was now in just his swimming trunks. The night where we got intimate immediately flashed before my mind and I know my face was about to change shade, it was heating up.
Elio was looking nothing like he looks with his clothes on. Just like his other brothers, he was muscular with beautiful and well defined arcs and firm looking abs. ’Arghhhhh, not again with this abs thing. Am I a sucker for a good physic? I guess I am. But, SNAP OUT OF IT p>
My internal confession was cut off short by Nora as we both made way to the pool, hand in hand. The boys however didn’t follow us immediately.
As we sat at the rocky edge, dipping our feet inside the pool, a gasped came out of my mouth; it was more like a whimper. My sore muscles relaxed as soon as my feet touched the water. Nora too smiled and said, “It feels nice, don’t you agree? This is heavenly p>
I only replied with a “yeah, it certainly do.” All the tension and anxiety which was pent up inside me from so many days, eased bit by bit as I gradually relaxed. I took a deep and long breath feeling comfortable, in a very long time.
Soon the boys joined us with snacks and some drinks.
Nora gladly took it and then Dion offered me a glass as well. Although, I wasn’t much of a drinker, for a change, I didn’t refuse him this time which surprised him, his eyebrows raised just slightly for me to catch that. He gave me an astonishing look and then smiled back at me. His smile made him look innocent but I know how he is, a wolf under sheep’s clothing. Yeah, just exactly what I’ll call him, a freaking wolf.
But still I wanted to drink and let loose myself. I have been feeling tired these past few days and wanted a distraction for once.
As I took a sip from the glass, my tongue felt the refreshing taste of sweet and sour lemon; it felt like I was eating a lemon flavored candy. ’I thought he gave me alcohol, but it doesn’t taste like one. Maybe, it’s just some mocktail p>
I gulped that whole drink down and Dion filled my glass again. After that, he jumped inside the pool, his lower body submerged in it, his eyes not leaving mine.
Alaric has settled himself to the opposite side of where we sat and Elio was with him, they were talking about something.
Elio soon swam towards us and smiled like his usual boyish style. He was wet from head to toes, his body glistening because of the water droplets sticking to his face and shoulder blades and torso and~. I looked down and blinked several times taking my eyes off quickly. He seemed like he was modelling for a calendar shoot or something. Hope Id didn’t make my gazing obvious.
Nora said to me, “Ra-ra, let’s take a dip.” But this time, I firmly denied her, “Go ahead, I’ll just soak my feet here p>
Nora didn’t insisted this time and soon joined the others inside the pool, as the siblings swam and swirled inside the hot water spring, playing with each other. I was observing them, munching on the chips as my eyes met his sapphire orbs.
Alaric was, quite obviously, gazing at me, his thoughts unreadable. Only one thought arose in my mind, ’Now what did I do? Why is he glaring at me? What’s he thinking in rotten ’Alpha’ brain of his p>
My throat wobbled at his staring but neither of us took our eyes off of the other. I wanted to, but somehow I just couldn’t. He was just way too godly, just so perfect. ’Only if he could keep his mouth shut, that would be more than just perfect p>
My gazed shifted to his red lips, they were moist and shining like they were calling for me. ’Stop~ stop~ stop~, please enough with these stupid fantasies, alright. Buzz off you dirty brain.’ I gulped down another drink and then another to calm my racing heart. I felt like it was going to explode any time if I didn’t keep it in check, the wild thoughts engulfing me.
As I downed my fifth glass, my mind became a bit fuzzy. I started feeling light headed and worry free. It was a pleasing feeling, everything seemed awesome. I was humming and smiling, and giggling like an idiot, my body was swaying left and right. The deep music chimed into my ears as I searched for the source of it.
Alaric, who was now sitting by the edge of the pool, was playing the flute which Nora had gifted him. As he blew wind inside the whole, his lips kissed the instrument. His eyes were closed and there was a serene and peaceful look on his sculptor-like face.
“This is a first. How I wish he doesn’t frown and becomes fussy with me, just like now” I mumbled. He looks so ethereal. The tune was enchanting to say the least, giving me goosebumps all over my skin. If he wasn’t a billionaire, he could become a famous flutist, he was that good with it.
The slight wind that blew got me shuddering a little. A mixture of different scents entered my respiratory system, making my mind blurry and my body felt a sudden rush of heat. I noticed my chest pounding wildly, as my senses started betraying me, my emotions all over the place.
In an attempt to sober up, I got up hastily and then, eventually, like these past few days have been, I made another massive blunder.
A scream left my mouth “Aaaahhhh~” as my foot slipped on the rock and my whole body tumbled inside the pool, face first. The impact felt harsh.
The splashing of water is what I heard and then my senses numbed and cold. I tried but couldn’t move, my ankle which was hurt a few days back ached. I could feel the water enter my lungs as I struggled to keep afloat, throwing my hands frantically.
My mind wasn’t in the right state and then, I stopped struggling, my body felt heavy and I couldn’t pull myself up anymore.
Then, someone came to my rescue as I felt a strong pair of hands embracing me by my waist. The person muttered something as their hands where holding me tight, maybe too tight, their body touching my back. I could hear distinct sound of yelling, but my brain was dizzy. And I passed out.
