WINEFEST, AT THE LAKE [OPEN]

[willcabot]

Bare feet padded down the small jetty, clothes abandoned in his wake as he stripped down. Discarding the Breitling watch onto the wooden boards, he grinned as he dropped the final piece of clothing between him and the water onto the short pier before diving straight into the deep, cool, lake waters. Swimming deep down into the darker waters, Will swam down brushing his finger tips along the lake bed before swimming slowly up. There were some advantages to a Siren ancestry, the attraction to the water and his speed in the water was definitely one of them.

Swimming to one of the buoys, far beneath the surface, Will swam the length and bredth of the lake before he reappeared at one of the floating platforms. Swimming slower, deliberately slowly, Will looked like any other morning swimmer. Emerging from the water, he slicked his hair back before grabbing onto the edge of the pier. Muscles straining as he pulled himself up on to the board, grabbing his towel he wrapped it round his waist before grinning as he realised he had himself an audience.

"Morning," Will began, grinning as he mock saluted them. "Nothing better for a hangover than a morning dip, don't you think?"

Comments

The thought is tempting, and she laughs, but she also knows very well that they're in full eye of all of Siren Cove's elite right now, including her mother. God only knows what would happen if she got caught stripping down to nothing in front of Will Cabot.

"Why am I not surprised," she says wryly.

[willcabot]

Will responded with an even more infuriatingly smug little grin, one he reserved just for her. He doubted her mother would appreciate his flirting or trying to get her starkers in front of everyone, he knew his mother wouldn't or perhaps his mother would. Sometimes it seemed that anything could be forgiven if it meant that William was more likely inclined to settle down with a 'respectable' woman like Amelie.

"Because you know me and because you know I never do anything 'proper'," Will replied with a carefree smile. He sighed in exaggeration, trying his best attempt at a pleading, puppy look. "You know I could always throw you in, don't you?"

[ameliecoombs]

She'd already seen little June Thornton get thrown into the water on her way down here, and she knows exactly what game he's playing.

"Looks like you've already found a victim for that," she says, nodding her head towards the water.

[willcabot]

The sweet look was replaced for a brief moment with mischief before Will attempted a brief look of innocence. It didn't suit him but it looked honest, it looked genuine for a moment at least.

"Who me? No, I didn't do that. You wound me," Will replied with a smile before leaning in. "Who said I need just one victim?"

[ameliecoombs]

She laughs, and nudges him with her shoulder. He's so big these days it doesn't even budge him.

"How blind do you think I am?" She rolls her eyes. "You make a good point," she admits. The water looks inviting, and she can't help but glance around to see if anyone (ie her mother or her sisters) is watching before she gives in. "Fine, I'd rather go in like a lady than be thrown in, but you'll need to turn around."

[willcabot]

Will laughed, not moving an inch when she nudges him before he reaches out to gently, very gently, nudge her back. He knows his own strength after all.

"You're a lady? I must have missed that notice," Will teased, pretending to cover his eyes with a wicked smirk before actually turning around. Putting his hands on the sides of his waist, he gave her the privacy to at least on this occasion act like a lady.
