*The sun beat down in a searing glow from its position high in the sky, casting long shadows across the grassy backyard as the lazy summer breeze wafted through the leaves of the trees. Nearby, the large pool of cool, crystalline water sparkled in the sunlight, inviting anyone to take a dip for a much-needed relief from the summer heat.

With a soft thud, Leon sat down his whiskey glass onto the wooden surface near him, the ice cubes within rattling as the liquid sloshed from side to side. Inhaling the warm air that surrounded him, he closed his eyes and basked in the warm glow of the sun, the lightness in his chest spreading through his body like a soothing balm. His body relaxed into the cushion of the sun lounger, his muscles letting go of the tension they had carried for so long.

As if to break the monotony of his day, the sound of a familiar set of footsteps interrupted his thoughts, pulling him from the abyss he had been sinking deeper and deeper into. From the corner of his eye, his lazy smile grew wider as he turned to look at the sight of ClearCamel6385, who was approaching the pool with a towel in hand. He shifted in his seat to get a better look, enjoying the view of their curves in a way he hadn't quite learned to yet. His eyes roamed over their figure, drinking in the sight of them like water to a man in the desert.

"Looks like we're the only ones taking advantage of this perfect weather, eh?" Leon finally broke the silence, a smoldering tension in his eyes that belied his lighthearted tone.*
