Cordelia tightened the towel wrapped around her, pointing at Merry with a smirk. “She’s the one who needs

the lessons.”

“Indeed,” Everard began slowly, his voice deep and calm. “Her instructor has arrived.”

As he spoke, the sound of footsteps echoed from the changing room, and Bland emerged from the men’s side, wearing nothing but swimming trunks, his body dripping wet.

He must have just showered, for with every step, droplets danced upon his skin, tracing paths down his chiseled collarbones, over the valleys of his pecs and abs, and down his muscular legs, His perfect physique was on full display for all to see.

Merry could hardly tear her eyes away, not even blinking, as if missing a single moment would be a loss.

Cordelia, too, admired the view, her gaze traveling from his chest down to his abs, and just as she was about to let her eyes wander further, a strong pull on her shoulder spun her around. Everard had unceremoniously yanked her back to face him, his cold glare shooting towards Bland.

Caught in his provocative strut, Bland stiffened instantly and, without a word, dove into the pool. A few splashes later, he was at Merry’s feet, his head popping out of the water. He wiped his face with his hands and called out, “Are you coming in?”

Merry, already on edge just being near the pool, was wide–eyed with shock.

Bland was calling her to swim! Fear of water be damned, she was going in! With no hesitation, she nodded her head.

Bland grinned, his eyes full of seduction, and he stood up in the water, extending a hand. “Then let me help you in.”

“…Okay, okay,” Merry replied, her voice betraying her nervousness as she swallowed hard.

She cautiously sat at the edge of the pool, then leaped into the water.

The sensation of weightlessness hit her the moment she submerged, causing her to cling tightly to Bland’s shoulders. The looming threat of suffocation seemed to wash over her as the water’s surface rippled before her eyes.

But then she felt a strong hand grasp her waist, and Bland’s reassuring voice, “Don’t be nervous.”
