She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 698

There are always bugs in places like this, and he couldn't bear the thought of her flawless skin getting bitten up by mosquitoes.

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest, or go for a walk by the water?" he asks in a low voice.

Loyce pulls her gaze from the stars and looks at him. "Let's go into the water. Swimming out here is the real deal."

The night ocean carries a slight chill, but it perfectly washes away the exhaustion of their journey.

Lucian leads her down to the shoreline.

The moonlight spills over the ocean like liquid silver.

Loyce kicks off her shoes and steps into the cool water, sighing as the fine sand washes over her toes.

A moment later, she looks back. Lucian is already unbuttoning his shirt, his movements slow, deliberate, and lethally attractive in the moonlight.

He unbuckles his belt, tosses it onto the sand, and strips off his pants and shirt. Clad only in his briefs, the muscular, heavily scarred man meets her gaze for a split second before walking into the moonlit waves.

He wades in until the water reaches his hips, then turns to look at her. "We are the only two people on this entire island. No internet, no technology. No one can see us."

Truly, it is just them, the sky, the earth, and the wild jungle behind them.

The intense arousal he had barely managed to suppress on the plane comes rushing back with a vengeance.

"I've never done this before," she whispers.

Skinny dipping in a private ocean under the stars—it is a completely new experience.

Beyond the sexual tension thick between them, she genuinely wants to feel what it's like to swim naked in the moonlit sea.

After soaking in the ambiance, she dives forward like an agile mermaid, disappearing into the dark water. A few moments later, she breaches the surface, tossing her hair back, sending a spray of glittering droplets into the air.

She looks back at Lucian. Her smile is so real, so breathtakingly beautiful.
