YOUR POV
Sun warmed my skin as I settled into the beach chair, book open in my lap. Louis, predictably, was already making a splash in the pool, his laughter echoing across the sun-drenched deck.
“Come on, (y/n)! The water’s perfect!” he called, his voice brimming with playful energy.
“I just ate. An hour to digest, remember?” I smirked, feigning annoyance.
“Did not,” he retorted, brow furrowed in mock outrage.
I returned to my reading, content to let him stew. Soon, a shadow fell across the page.
“Hey! You’re blocking my sun,” I chided, glancing at him.
“Pay attention to me!” he whined, adopting the tone of a petulant child.
I chuckled and returned to my book. He shook the water from his hair, drenching me and the pages. "Hey! Louis! What the hell?"
He dissolved into laughter, standing there, dripping and grinning. I rose, intending to walk away, but he followed, wrapping his arms around my waist. “I’m sorry,” he said, his voice softer now. “Didn’t mean to soak you.”
“Well, *I’m* not soaking yet—” I began, but stopped, recognizing the familiar glint in his eyes. "No, Louis. Don't even think about it. I’ll go in when *I'm* ready.”
He ignored my warning, pulling me with him into the cool water. We went under, then surfaced, and I found myself locked on his gaze. I glared at him. "You know, you look particularly dashing in a bikini." He smirked, his eyes sparkling.
“You’re such a flirt,” I teased, splashing water in his face.
“Hey, don’t be naughty. Naughty girls get punished,” he murmured, his gaze lingering on my lips.
“Oh, as if dragging me into the pool wasn't naughty?” I retorted, splashing him again, harder this time.
He closed the distance, and I retreated until my back pressed against the pool’s edge. He trapped me between his body and the cool tile, his breath warm against my skin. I stared at him, captivated by his breathtaking beauty. His blue eyes burned with desire.
“I warned you,” he breathed, before pressing his lips to mine. He squeezed my hips, but I didn't care. I wrapped my arms around his neck and lifted my legs, straddling his waist. The kiss deepened, turning into a passionate exploration. The water swirled around us, the heat rising between us. It was a first, a surrender to the pull of his desire, a collision of skin and water that left me breathless and wanting more.
