The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Someone piped up, "Mr. Vesper, why don't you come surfing with us?"

Sebastian shot Citrine a quick, unreadable look, then nodded. "Sure, I'm in.”

She revealed a pale blue bikini that made her skin look even more luminous. All eyes immediately landed on her.
