Lost Me Gained Regret

Chapter 749

Christine groggily woke up, feeling like she was still swaying.

She thought it was Dailey, that jerk, stretching and kicking around, so she reached out to push and kick back, but hit nothing.

Opening her eyes, she discovered she was alone in a cabin bed.

A white dress shirt draped over the couch caught her eye, so she slipped into it and stepped outside.

The hallway was deserted.

The deck was just as empty.

Leaning on the railing, enjoying the breeze and the view, she suddenly noticed the cruise had stopped, with ripples dancing on the water's surface. Curving her lips in amusement, she deliberately moved to one side, and the ripples seemed to follow her lead.

Right up to where the gangway was.

From within those ripples emerged a figure, ascending the gangway.

Christine leaned casually against the railing, her gaze trailing from his handsome face down along the sparkling droplets to his well-defined muscles. Dailey, his hair drenched, swept it back and leaned in close to her, a thin smile spreading across his features.

Christine, with her nails perfectly manicured, teased the edge of his swim trunks back and forth.
