Picnic Day! (2)

The lake was not far from the villa.
It was located in the middle of a quiet forest where only the chirping of birds could be heard, and there were no people.
It felt as if they had bought this large forest.
“Don’t go too deep. The lake gets deep in an instant.”
Theron warned Selene, who was admiring the lake, as he spread out a picnic blanket.
However, Evelyn and Rupert were already playing in the deep part of the lake, splashing water.
Selene gazed at Theron.
“Won’t you be bored alone?”
“I’m not a child. In fact, I’m sorry I can’t go in with you.”
‘Was it that he couldn’t go in, not that he didn’t like water?’
The curiosity that had subsided because of Theron’s bad expression was gently rekindled.
In the past, she wouldn’t have been very interested, but now it was because the other person was Theron.
Lately, Selene wanted to know more about Theron, and based on that, she intended to judge the sustainability of their relationship.
So, it was perhaps natural for her to think deeply about his every action and expression.
And not long after, what Theron had said before flashed through her mind.
‘Is it because of that incident…?’
‘Theron’s painful and shocking childhood memory.’
“Hahaha! Rupert, catch me if you can!”
“Evelyn, be careful, it’s deep there!”
However, the noise was too loud to have such a serious conversation right now.
Since there was still a lot of the day left, Selene decided to consider the timing more carefully and ask Theron why he didn’t go in the water.
“Selene. Your skin will tan more easily if it’s wet. I’m just saying this because you might really suffer from a painful sunburn the next day.”
Selene let Theron’s nagging go in one ear and out the other as she raised her hands to tie her hair.
“And as I said, your chest is on the large side, so if it gets wet…”
But just as she raised both hands to tie her hair, her eyes met Theron’s.
“If it gets wet…”
Theron’s face, whose words had trailed off, gradually turned red in places.
Selene noticed it at once.
That Theron was having another lewd fantasy.
‘I was just tying my hair.’
‘Theron had a very good imagination.’
Normally, she would have ignored him familiarly, but Selene suddenly recalled Theron pressing his lips to Evelyn’s hand.
The unpleasant feeling she had felt then also gently rose.
Selene wanted to make him a little uncomfortable.
“If it gets wet?”
Selene, who had tied her hair, moved closer to Theron.
“What were you going to say after ‘if it gets wet’?”
“…That it looks lewd.”
“Do you not like that? Because Rupert might see it?”
Theron’s throat bobbed.
“No… it’s because it makes me feel awkward.”
“You mean you’ll get another erection.”
“…”
“Or have you already gotten one?”
At Theron’s lack of an answer, Selene felt she knew without having to look.
The sight of Theron Cox’s bulging crotch.
‘This man really gets erect easily and often.’
However, Theron did not avert his gaze and stared at Selene.
“You’re holding such a large chest right in front of my eyes, how can I not get an erection?”
Theron chose to admit it brazenly rather than make an excuse.
“You keep saying it’s large, but that’s a word that could give me a sense of shame, Theron Cox.”
“If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”
And yet, Theron Cox’s gaze was fixed on Selene’s chest.
The swimming attire was certainly more form-fitting than her usual clothes, so the curves of her chest were more clearly revealed.
The reason Theron had suddenly blushed was probably because her chest had been prominent when she had raised her arms.
“Theron Cox. What do you want me to do?”
At Selene’s low voice, Theron slowly lifted his gaze.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Although it had started as an act to annoy Theron, who was concerned about Evelyn, the atmosphere had turned lewd.
Although she was a little concerned about Evelyn and Rupert, it seemed they were far away, as she could no longer hear their giggles.
With Theron’s quickened breathing, his chest was rising and falling rapidly.
“There’s nothing you have to do…”
At the same time, his gaze was intense, as if he would devour Selene at any moment.
“I want to touch you.”
“What.”
“Every part of your body.”
Theron Cox, who was spouting obscene words without a care in this open space, seemed to be quite crazy.
The problem was that Selene’s body was also getting hot, as if she had been infected by Theron’s heat.
Selene’s eyes, which were fixed on Theron, shone with a strange color.
Her red lips parted as if to tempt Theron.
“That’s not happening, Theron Cox. We’re not lovers anymore, and we don’t know when Evelyn will be back.”
“Then at least let me kiss you.”
Theron Cox was as confident as if he had left a kiss with her.
Even without her permission, he stealthily wrapped his arm around Selene’s waist.
“Huh? Selene.”
Perhaps if a few more seconds had passed, Selene might have kissed Theron.
But just then, Evelyn’s voice was heard from afar.
“What is Selene doing? We’ve been in the water for a long time, and she still hasn’t come in.”
Selene returned to reality as if released from a trance.
If she were to be caught like this, she, who had chided Evelyn for being with Rupert like a cat in heat, would be made a fool of.
“Get away from me, Theron.”
Selene pushed away Theron’s hand, which was wrapped around her waist, and stood up.
Theron also seemed to have noticed that Evelyn and Rupert, who had gotten out of the water early, were coming this way, and he muttered, “Damn it,” and stood up.
Then he went back to the villa alone, saying he had to take care of his bursting erection.
Selene looked at Theron’s back and then turned her head.
Because her own lower abdomen was also burning.
‘But this is the only time.’
Selene had no intention of creating such a situation again, so that the line she had drawn would not become meaningless.
‘Yes, that’s right.’
At least, that’s what she had thought until the afternoon of the picnic.

The feeling of being in the water after a long time was not bad.
Although Evelyn and Rupert had splashed water on Selene while playing, it was not to the point where she regretted not practicing the piano all day in the piano room.
However, Theron, who was watching from the shore while everyone else was in the water, cooling off and enjoying the end of summer, was a bit of a concern.
‘Even if he says he’s fine, he must be bored staying like that all day.’
In the end, Selene did not stay in the water for long and returned to where Theron was.
Theron’s eyes sparkled.
“Why are you back already?”
As he asked that, he wrapped a blanket around Selene’s shoulders as if he had been waiting.
“I’ve had enough of swimming.”
“Yes. Good job. You have no idea how nervous I was that you might go deeper.”
“I know how to swim.”
“Hmm… that’s surprising.”
Theron looked at Selene with disbelieving eyes.
“You’re always indoors, so I thought you wouldn’t be good at sports or outdoor activities.”
“That’s a narrow-minded thought.”
Although it was true that Selene spent most of her time indoors, she was good at sports, just like her father.
“Yes, maybe so. When did you learn to swim?”
“When my father was alive. He came from the military academy, so he thought swimming was essential to learn.”
“Come to think of it, both of your parents were soldiers.”
Theron seemed to have realized that fact anew.
“I’m curious. What kind of people were your parents?”
“Is that because you want to know about me?”
At Selene’s question, Theron smiled.
“Of course. I’m always curious about you.”
“Because you didn’t seem to be like that.”
“I was too busy hiding myself. But not anymore. I’m more curious and want to know more about you.”
Selene didn’t dislike Theron being curious about her.
No, to be precise, it was closer to being good.
So, Selene was about to ask if they could focus on getting to know each other for a while, now that this topic had come up.
Because it might feel unfair to him if she were the only one getting to know Theron.
‘And if we know each other well, I’ll be able to refute Logan’s sneer that we’ll eventually break up because we’re too different.’
“Then Theron…”
“Kyaaa!”
But Selene could not continue her words.
It was because of Evelyn’s scream that was heard in the middle.
When she turned her head, Evelyn was in the water, just as Theron had been worried about.
Theron also confirmed the situation and was unbuttoning his shirt.
“Damn it…!”
“Are you going in the water…?”
“I can swim, at least.”
Theron had a grim face.
Selene’s mood became strange again as Theron, who loathed going in the water, stepped up.
“There’s no need for that, Mr. Rupert will save her. He was a rower in university, so he’s a skilled swimmer.”
“…Ah, really?”
At Selene’s dissuasion, Theron finally took his hand off the shirt he was about to take off.
As she had said, Rupert was pulling Evelyn out of the water without a hint of surprise.
Since it was an expected sight, Selene also could not be flustered even though Evelyn was struggling in the water.
“That was a close call…”
But Theron, who was relieved as if it were his own business, got on Selene’s nerves.
Perhaps that’s why, Selene inadvertently threw out the question she had intended to ask carefully.
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t go in the water?”
