Chapter 112: Pushing Boundaries

The water dripped down Ethan's bare chest as he emerged from the pool, the sunlight glistening on his skin. Luca couldn't tear his gaze away, and a rush of desire surged through him. The playfulness of their swim had dissolved into a simmering tension that hung in the air between them. It was a feeling that Luca had grown to crave—this electrifying pull toward Ethan.

Ethan caught his gaze, a knowing smirk curling his lips. "You're staring," he teased, walking closer, the water cascading off his body.

Luca didn't try to deny it. "Can you blame me?" he replied, his voice low and husky. He reached out, grabbing Ethan's arm and pulling him close until their bodies pressed together. The heat from Ethan's skin was a stark contrast to the coolness of the water that still clung to them. "You're irresistible."

A spark flared in Ethan's eyes, his breath hitching as Luca's hands trailed down his sides. "Then show me," he whispered, his lips just inches from Luca's. It was an invitation, a dare, and Luca didn't need to be told twice.

Without another word, Luca crashed his lips against Ethan's, their mouths moving together in a desperate, hungry kiss. The taste of chlorine mixed with the sweet salt of Ethan's skin as Luca deepened the kiss, his tongue exploring eagerly. Ethan responded just as fervently, his fingers tangling in Luca's wet hair as he tugged him even closer.

They stumbled backward, reaching the pool's edge. Luca's back hit the cool tiles, and he gripped Ethan's waist, lifting him slightly onto the ledge. Their bodies aligned perfectly, and the friction sent a shudder of pleasure through Luca. He broke the kiss, his lips trailing down Ethan's jawline to his neck, where he sucked hard enough to leave a mark—a reminder of this moment.

Ethan gasped, his fingers tightening in Luca's hair as he arched his back, pushing his chest closer to Luca's mouth. Luca's lips found Ethan's nipple, and he took it between his teeth, tugging gently before soothing it with his tongue. Ethan's moan echoed through the pool area, his hands sliding down Luca's back, nails digging in slightly.

"More," Ethan breathed, his voice rough with need.

Luca didn't need encouragement. His hand slipped lower, fingers grazing Ethan's inner thigh. But just as he was about to push further, a sudden noise broke through the haze of desire—a door opening and footsteps approaching.

Luca pulled back, breathless and wide-eyed, and Ethan's expression mirrored his. The spell was broken, the moment shattered, and reality crashed in with a reminder of their surroundings. Luca glanced toward the entrance, his pulse still pounding. They weren't alone.

Ethan slid down from the ledge, his cheeks flushed, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he whispered, "Guess we'll have to finish this somewhere else."
