Abyss.
It was a scorching Saturday, and Gio’s sprawling villa felt like paradise. The pool shimmered under the sun, turquoise water begging to be touched. I’d asked permission earlier he’d grunted a quick “Go ahead” before disappearing to his office.
Now, alone, I floated on my back in my black hibiscus-print bikini, eyes closed, letting the cool water lap over my skin.
“Aah… this is pure bliss,” I sighed, weightless, every muscle finally unwinding.
