“Gyaah!” Noah yelped as he was abruptly tackled off his feet into the water.He flailed about trying to get back on his feet and out of his assailant’s grasp. His long shirt floated up in the water. Levi’s arms found their way around Noah’s waist, his fingers sliding over supple, naked flesh.A shiver ran through Noah, and his breath caught in his throat. Wherever those callused fingers touched, felt hot and itchy, yet the sensation wasn’t unpleasant. On the contrary, when they slid over Noah’s smooth skin, it felt stimulating. As if suddenly his senses became more acute, allowing him to feel every little thin

Noah patted the dolphin he was riding, and it understood which direction Noah wanted to go from the pats.
