Bubbles of Warm Lust

It was past 6pm and Liam walked up to the topmost floor of the multimillion dollar mansion where they'd been lodged and stared at the surrounding tall trees and exotic flowers.

His eyes struck the pool in this open penthouse and it emitted a blue light that Liam found irresistible.

Liam looked behind him and saw no one, so he sought to give himself this pleasure. He put off his t-shirt and ash coloured joggers and walked into the pool with only his boxers on him.

The water was not ice cold, it was warm like the calm springs of Ohio and this was a comfort Liam basked in.

With his lips conically opened while he enjoyed the fluttering of the water as he flapped his hands towards his side, he shut his eyes and wore a smile as far as his face could stretch.

"Hey. Is there room for one more?" A soft voice spoke from the edge of the pool freaking Liam out so bad that his balance shook.

With this sudden ghostly whisper, Liam's hands danced about the water as though it was an independent part of his body in need of safety.

"Fuck. Fuck!" Liam exclaimed with a mid- baritone pitch that many could consider sexy as he looked at the woman who'd caused him the scare.

With his eyes striking her figure and her face, his fiery fear that was rising to the edges of anger faded into an awkward chuckle that caused Ava to laugh in return.

"Oh, my God! I'm sorry. Ah ah!" Ava said with a shy amount of guilt that was overwhelmed by her rising laughter.

She didn't mean to creep up on him, but seeing his reaction was a pleasure she was glad she'd enjoyed.

"Yeah, it's okay. Come in. Sit." Liam said as he had a greater hold on his fleeing breath while he sat at the edge of the pool with his legs in the water.

"His body was banging, like a Tinder warrior who'd fucked his way through half of New York." Ava thought to herself as she heard his words in slow motion with her eyes feeding heftily on the sight of his body.

With an awkward smile and an even more enchanting body, Ava stepped into the pool as she let go of her mid- classic gown with her hands off the zip.

"Fuck! She's hot as fuck, bro!" The bad brother in Liam's head said to him as he gazed upon her model- worthy body while she walked into the pool and next to him.

"Okay." Liam said with speechlessness hosting a party in his tongue.

"Okay." Ava awkwardly replied as she turned her face away from him intermittently to avoid coming off strong or desperate.

Liam was having a hard time thinking of what to say or not say, so he just hummed what felt like a broken song with off-key chords to fill the silence.

Ava wasn't having it easy with her words either, so she chose spontaneity as her legs shuffled within the water.

"Tell me a secret you haven't told anyone before." Ava said with an enchanting gaze in search of mystery.

"Uhmmm.. okay. I.. some days, when life gets just super blurry, I immerse myself in memories, like very old memories. They're the closest feeling to home… ohh! That was a sad one. I'm sorry." Liam said as he looked up to her face which had a beam of compassion he found warmth in.

Liam had known pity, the cruel kind, and he hated it, but looking at Ava's face, he wasn't looking at the kind of pity he'd always hated, he finally understood what compassion looked like, and she was a warm, solemn angel clothed in the skin of Ava's comely face.

"The truth is the last thing anyone should be sorry for. And it's really okay that home means a lot to you, Liam. For me, memories are a castle I had to flee. You know that story of Rapunzel being locked up in a castle? I was locked in a castle. At least, I locked myself in it, and it was the only place where I felt like the world was an utopia." Ava replied with a warm voice that was a little lower than her usual soothing voice.

Liam stayed silent with a steady breath that craved to be next to Ava's shoulders.

"That must have been tough. How'd you get out of… the castle?" Liam asked kindly with his words slipping out as though he was surrounded by landmines.

"I got help. I decided to lean on someone else that wasn't my shadow and someone that didn't own the complexion of my misery." Ava replied slowly as her legs dangled in the water.

"You're courageous, you know, and I admire that." Liam said with a smile opening up from the corner of his mouth as he looked at her eyes which warmly received him in hers.

"I admire you, too, Liam." Ava said with a distorted breath as she gulped a bit of saliva coated in bubbles of warm lust down her throat.
