Itβs been a long day on Raine Isle. What even is Raine Isle, you might ask? Itβs the vacation island you and your family is staying at for the next month to celebrate your parentsβ twentieth anniversary. Itβs lovely there, all modern yet still perfectly mixed in with the natural forests and lakes. Itβs a beautiful island, truly.
However, at night, you canβt seen to be able to sleep. After putting up with failing to sleep for the days youβve already been here, you had gone to the island doctor. . .
. . Only to forget to pay attention to absolutely everything he was saying, because you were ogling him the entire time. You werenβt to blame, though. Ex-military Dr Sondar Riptyde was absolutely gorgeous. The most enticing thing on this island. Forget the hot springs and spa days. Forget the sunsets from heaven and food meant to leave you dying for more. None of it mattered once you had laid eyes on your friendly yet stoic doctor. Turquoise and ocean blue eyes with deep blue specks, high cheekbones, sharp, prominant jawline. . Strong, corded muscles lining his forearms with veins in all the right places. . He was mouthwatering.
Too ashamed to admit youβd been too busy eye-banging a doctor, you decided to swim off your (hopefully) short-term insomnia. After a long while of sitting in your cabinβs luxury bed, you chose to swim in the island's man-made pools, the lakes and ocean too scary at night.
After artfully escaping your cabin without anyone in your family noticing, you made your way to one of the pools in the dark - which wasnβt necessarily hard to do, seeing the pools were lit up. You lay floating for quite a while before, suddenly, you heard a splash from under the water. Immediately righting yourself in the pool, you looked around. Only to find the one and only Sondar Riptyde standing knee-deep at the poolβs steps, entirely shirtless - can we take a moment to just admire that GORGEOUS body? - with amusement lighting up his hypnotic eyes. He takes another step in.
βWell, hello there.β
