This is absolutely not the first time that Azarel has seen Evren''s bare upper body but since he realizes tonight that he might have feelings for this man, he found Evren''s body much more appealing than before

    Azarel wants to put his hands on those abdominal muscles and enjoy himself at how hard they were

    After that, he would slowly raise his hand to reach Evren''s chest and play with the man''s nipples

    For the nth time, they would share a passionate and steamy night with each other while enjoying themselves on carnal desires

    When they were done, Azarel will then place Evren''s head into his arm as they cuddled to sleep

    Wait... Azarel realizes that his train of thought seems to have turned weird and

    What cuddle? Who would do that? Cuddles aren''t really Azarel''s thing as he feels like only lovers or people that are dating would do that

    How come that he suddenly thought of cuddling with Evren!

    "This is bad, I''m really turning into a teenage girl" Azarel thought with a shudder. He feels as if his character was breaking apart and a version of himself that he never knew existed is forming

    Not wanting what is currently happening to him, Azarel madly threw his shirt away and without any warning, he threw himself at the pool. He hopes that the water''s cold temperature would help sooth his burning body

    Currently, Evren was still just sitting in the side. He was waiting for the servants to turn on the lights in the pool

    He wondered whether the lights would be as beautiful as the ones he had seen on the internet

    Although Azarel jumped in the pool without any warning, Evren just let the man do what he wants

    His focus was on waiting for the pool lights. He even starts thinking that if the lights were not to his standards, he would ask Azarel to have the lights change into more beautiful ones

    However, a few minutes have passed yet the lights still did not arrive. As a result, Evren frownes deeply and his eyes scanned the pool to see where Azarel was, planning to ask him if there was something wrong in the pool

    Although the pool lights are still not turned on, there were still other source of light around and the visibility was not that bad

    As a result, Evren can see his husband drowning in the pool

    However, despite waggling his arms violently to keep himself afloat, Azarel didn''t do anything to ask for help

    He did not scream to attract Evren''s attention and that turned his situation very dangerous

    Evren only notices the situation when Azarel can''t hold it anymore and he starts sinking deeper into the pool, his head never did not come out from the surface of the water anymore

    "Azarel!" Evren shouted in panic. His heart almost exploding from worry. He can feel adrenaline coursing through his body as he run on the pool side until he was close enough to where he saw Azarel drown

    With a heart filled with worry, Evren dived into the pool. His eyes scanned his surroundings and he saw Azarel lying down the bottom of the pool

    Fortunately, although the pool was taller than the average person, it also wasn''t too deep

    As such, Evren immediately swam deeper to grab a hold of Azarel''s arms

    His eyes and mind failed to register anything else as the only thing he can see was Azarel''s arm

    Evren reached out and when he felt his hand grand is finally gripping Azarel''s wrist, he swam back to the pool side

    Due to too much panic, Evren did not realize that although Azarel drowned, it was not to the point that he lose consciousness

    There are indeed some water than Azarel accidentally inhaled or swallowed but he still hasn''t passed out

    But since Evren dis not notice that, he laid Azarel into the ground and starts pumping the man in the chest

    "W-wait! I-I''m alive! I-I''m c-conscious!" Azarel hurriedly said after sensing the heavy sensation in his chest

    Only then did Evren realized that Azarel did not passed out and his face flushed red in anger

    "If you can''t swim why did you even invited me to the pool?!" Evren questioned with a voice much louder than usual

    His face was completely red in anger and worry. He made Azarel feel like he just did something horrible to the point that he answered in almost inaudible tone

    "I-I can swim. I-I just had leg cramps" Azarel replied

    He really can swim and he was even quite good at it. He just doesn''t know why of all the times his legs would get cramps, it was the time when he was in the pool with Evren

    "Then why didn''t you say so?! You should have immediately asked for help the moment you start drowning! If I was even a single second late, who knows, you might have died back there!" Evren retorted, quite harshly at that

    His cheeks turning even redder than before as he shout at the man below him

    Except for him, no one knows how worried he was after seeing Azarel drown!

    His heart almost leapt out from his chest and it feels as suffocating as drowning in the pool

    With that, Azarel can only move his head to the side in shame. The reason that he didn''t call for help was because of his pride again

    He felt that it was too shameful to have leg cramps and he don''t want to lose face especially in front of Evren

    Earlier, he already acted in a cowardly and cliche way. That was already a moment of him showing weakness and he don''t want to show another weakness yet again

    Azarel knew how petty he was but he really don''t want to hurt his pride even further. As such, how can he speak the truth?

    Unfortunately for him, that just made Evren more furious than he already is

    "What?! Why didn''t you ask for help?!" Evren repeated his question

    Azarel doesn''t want to admit it but Evren''s current expression made something in his body reacts

    Evren just looks to handsome and manly while showing that much angee and Azarel scolded himself for thinking in that way in this kind of situation

    Azarel''s cheeks turned red and he can only try to ''save'' himself

    "I-I almost died yet you''re still shouting at me" Azarel said, acting like a bullied maiden

    God knows how much he want to puke by acting like that. He really was just too desperate to save himself from anger

    He seems to have forgotten that if it was in the past, he would just waved his hand and shrugs his shoulders dismissively, not making a big deal out of it

    Fortunately, although Azarel forgot how he usually reacts, his show of weakness still works and Evren''s heart softened

    Evren realized that drowning and almost dying is indeed a traumatizing experience to anyone and Azarel might still be in a state of fear (he absolutely wasn''t!)

    "Sigh..." Evren can only sigh while shaking his head. This is his first time seeing a person drowning that still refuses to ask for help

    Seeing that his tactic works, Azarel''s naughty side seems to have been awakened

    "I''m afraid, can you help by kissing me?" Azarel asks

    As he never acted coquettish before since both men and women would fall for him as long as he showed the tiniest bit of interest, Azarel''s voice was not believable

    He doesn''t sound nor look as if he was still in a state of extreme fear and one look was enough to see that he was just acting and quite terribly at that

    However, it turns out that it wasn''t only Azarel that was wearing a rose tinted glass. Evren was also the same as he did not realize how terrible Azarel''s acting was

    As Evren is aware that many people uses sex or at least just making out to hwlp relieve them of their stress or fear, he didn''t think that Azarel''s request was out of place

    With the desire to help the man below him, Evren slowly lowered his head and as a result, their eyes met each other

    One pair of golden and one pair of pitch black eyes stared at each other and the former trembled a bit

    Somehow, Azarel felt like the air around him and Evren now that the two of them are going to kiss feels different from before

    In the past, the atmosphere was always that of lust right off the bat but this instance was different

    As the two stared at each other, Evren''s hand foud their way on Azarel''s cheeks and he rubs it with his fingers

    Azarel shuddered a bit at that while his arms unconsciously hooked themselves around the other man''s nape

    Their heads inches towards each other and before their lips met, the lights that Evren was waiting for finally arrives
