His Nanny Mate By Eve Above Story

Chapter 304 Midnight Walks

Ella

The night’s party was in full swing. Animated chatter, effervescent laughter, and the rhythmic beats of a tropical playlist harmonized with the yacht’s steady rock. The energy was intoxicating.

Amidst the glow of string lights, the centerpiece was the opulent, aqua pool. It glowed like an oasis amidst the vast expanse of the open sea, shimmering invitingly under the night sky.

The initial shock of the cool water sent tingles up my spine. Logan, ever the water enthusiast, took to it effortlessly, with strong, determined strokes.

Holding onto his shoulders, I felt the gentle pull of the water, laughing as he expertly navigated, taking me on a mini aquatic tour. The world seemed to blur, replaced by bubbles, muted laughter, and the serenity of being submerged.

Every so often, Logan would look back, checking on me, his eyes twinkling with mischief. Encased in the cool embrace of the pool, it felt as if the complexities of the world had melted away, replaced by the simple joy of the moment.

After what felt like an eternity, Logan guided us towards the pool’s edge. His strong arm looped under my knees while the other encased my back, effortlessly lifting me out of the water. The ease of the motion, combined with the intensity of his gaze, left me momentarily breathless.

“To the bar?” He suggested, brushing a wet strand of hair behind my ear before I had the chance to stop him. I nodded, grateful for the distraction. “Lead the way.”

Perched atop chrome stools, we faced an array of glinting bottles and gleaming glasses. The bartender, a woman with an intricate tattoo of a dolphin on her forearm, presented us with a vibrant cocktail menu.

“I’ll have the Midnight Tide,” Logan decided.

“And for you, miss?” The bartender’s gaze settled on me. “The same,” I replied. There was something about sharing a drink with Logan that felt right.
