When Joe heard the sound, he looked up and was met with a stunning beauty walking toward him.
Skylar’s fair skin seemed to glow. Her gaze was like that of an otherworldly fairy. It exuded a pure desire that she herself wasn’t aware of,
Her body was reflected in the rippling waterl
At this moment, any man there would probably feel an urge to succumb to their desires. Joe had never denied that Skylar held a special place in his heart. Her every move could easily stir his emotions.
Seeing Joe staring at her, Skylar felt a bit puzzled by his intense gaze.
Was there something wrong with her outfit? She had checked herself in the mirror before coming out.
The swimsuit’s style was simple, and the color was not one she often wore. But it shouldn’t look that bad.
“Does it look weird?” Skylar asked.
Joe cleared his throat, feeling a slight dryness. He took a sip of wine to make it better and replied, “It’s
fine.”
Skylar found a comfortable spot to sit down and looked at Joe seriously. “Can we talk now?”
Joe stared into her clear eyes–as innocent and earnest as a child’s. He felt his throat tightening again.”
Don’t look at me like that,” he said.
“What?” Skylar was stunned. What kind of look had she given him? Wasn’t it just a normal look when
discussing something?
“The way you look at me makes me want to make love to you,” Joe said bluntly.
Skylar’s eyes widened, shocked by Joe’s straightforwardness. “You’ve got it wrong. I’m not trying to seduce you.
Truth be told, Skylar knew a lot of things. But seducing someone with her eyes was not her forte. The fact
that a glance from her could make Joe want to make out with her was just wild.
“What do you want to talk about?” Joe took another sip of his wine.
Seeing this, Skylar noticed another glass of wine beside her. She took a sip, mustered up her courage, and
said, “We said we’d be a real couple this afternoon. But now we’re talking about making out. Aren’t we being too impulsive?”
Skylar continued, “I’m afraid you’ll regret it.”
Joe stood up, walked over to her, and sat down next to her. “Why do you think I’ll regret it?”
“You’re several years older than me, and you’ve never had any scandals. Grandma Gloria said you’ve never even had a girlfriend.
“In this kind of situation, you must have an unrequited first love in your heart. At least, that’s what the

“If your first love comes back to you, you’ll regret betraying her and take it out on me. Won’t I become the scapegoat then?” Skylar voiced her concerns, which echoed the thoughts she’d had earlier in the shower.
Being husband and wife with Joe was fine. But being the scapegoat would be a disaster.
Joe chuckled, “Love in novels is always grand and always has a happy ending. Do you believe that?”
Once upon a time, Skylar had believed that. But she shook her head now.
“I’ll give you a few days to adapt,” Joe said softly.
Skylar blinked, “…”
“I’m too old for you. Is that it?” Joe remembered Skylar mentioning their age difference.
“Absolutely not!” Skylar exclaimed as she stood up. “That’s not what I meant.”
In that instant, the stones under her feet felt a bit sharp and slippery. She hadn’t been paying attention, so she stumbled forward.
Quickly and accurately, Skylar fell into a strong embrace. Joe’s hands landed on Skylar’s back, and she ended up sitting on his lap as her whole body pressed against his.
His muscles were clearly defined, and the thin swimsuit didn’t offer much resistance. Skylar didn’t know whether the hot spring water was too hot or if it was Joe’s body. But her face flushed instantly.
“I…” Skylar’s face turned red.
Joe suddenly pressed her head down and planted a deep kiss on her lips. It was one that would have made any woman instinctively retreat.
