The Gentleman's Intoxicating Devotion (Series #1)

Chapter 20

The next morning, Cassi was eager to go for a swim.

We didn't get to swim for long the last time, and she was determined to make the most of it today.

I watched as she emerged from our room in a black swimsuit that perfectly suited her.

The fabric hugged her curves in all the right places, accentuating her body and leaving little to the imagination.

Her smooth skin glistened, and I couldn't help but admire the way she moved with such confidence and grace.

Every step she took was mesmerizing, and I felt a surge of desire as my eyes traced the contours of her figure.

She looked stunning, a vision of beauty and allure, and I was completely captivated.

Taking a seat on one of the lounge chairs, I pulled out my phone and snapped a quick picture of her.

Just as I was about to take another, she caught me in the act.

"Hey!" she called out, laughing as she made her way over to me. "Were you taking pictures of me?"

I grinned sheepishly. "Maybe."

She playfully grabbed my phone and sat down on my lap, scrolling through my gallery.

Her laughter filled the air as she saw photo after photo of herself.

There were pictures of her eating, studying, sleeping, and many more candid shots.

"Your gallery is full of me," she said, shaking her head in amusement. "This is adorable."

I wrapped my arms around her waist, pulling her closer. "I can't help it. You're my favourite subject."

She turned to face me, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Well, I guess I should be flattered then."

"You should be," I said, leaning in to kiss her cheek. "You make everything better, even my photos."

Cassi laughed again, her arms draping around my neck. "You're too sweet."

"Only for you," I replied, holding her tightly.

She scrolled through a few more photos, still chuckling. "I think it's cute. It shows how much you care."

I nodded, feeling a warm rush of love for her. "I do care. A lot."

She leaned in, brushing her lips against mine. "I know, Kalix. And I care about you too."

We sat there for a while, wrapped up in each other, the world around us fading into the background.

Eventually, Cassi put my phone aside and stood up, pulling me with her towards the pool.

"Come on," she said, a mischievous grin on her face. "Let's go for a swim."

I followed her, my heart full of joy and contentment.

As we splashed into the water together, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to have Cassi in my life.

She was more than just the subject of my photos; she was the centre of my world.

We swam around for a bit, playfully splashing each other and sharing laughter.

Eventually, we found ourselves in a quieter corner of the pool, wrapped in each other’s arms.

I held her close, feeling the warmth of her body against mine, the water gently lapping around us.

As we floated together, Cassi looked up at me with a curious expression.

“When did you start having a crush on me?” she asked, her eyes searching mine.
