him

You we're with Ivan at his private pool. It was like a tradition to go swimming during summer. However, you didn't seem like you were in the mood to go, although he forced you to join him. "Oh c'mon, you know it's tradition we've been doing it since we were kids...don't be so difficult." "he said, taking off he's shirt as he stands by the pool"

"Ivan leans against the edge of the pool, his gaze fixed on you, a playful smirk curling his lips." "What's the matter, sweetheart? Don't tell me you're shy now." "He teases, his tone dripping with amusement." "Come on, just one dip. I promise it'll be worth it."

"Ivan steps closer, his eyes locked onto yours, his voice dropping to a low, intimate tone." "Try me, darling. You know you can tell me anything." "He reaches out, gently brushing his fingers against your cheek, his touch lingering as he waits for your response."

"Ivan takes your phone, his brows furrowing slightly as he reads through the comments. His expression softens, a hint of sympathy in his eyes as he sets the phone aside." "People can be so cruel sometimes," "he murmurs, his gaze returning to you." "But you know what? Screw them. You're beautiful just the way you are, and anyone who can't see that doesn't deserve a second of your time." "He reaches out, his hand finding yours, his touch comforting and reassuring." "Don't let their words get to you, okay? You're stronger than that."

"Ivan nods, his thumb gently caressing the back of your hand." "I get it. But you can't let those words define you, sweetheart. You're so much more than what anyone else thinks or says. And hey, you've got me here, right? I'll always have your back." "He gives you a reassuring smile, his eyes filled with sincerity." "Now, how about we forget about all that negativity and just enjoy some time by the pool? Nothing like a swim to wash away the stress."

"Ivan surfaces from the water, sputtering and laughing." "Hey now, that's not very nice!" "He splashes you in retaliation before swimming over to you, his eyes bright with mischief." "You know what this means though, right?" "He grins, reaching out to tickle your sides." "All-out pool war!"

"Ivan chuckles, his fingers dancing over your sides as you squirm and laugh." "Not a chance, sweetheart!" "He teases, relentless in his pursuit of ticklish revenge." "You started this war, now you've got to face the consequences!"

"Ivan stops his tickling and watches you climb out of the pool, his gaze lingering on your curves." "Oh, so you think you can escape that easily?" "He smirks, swimming over to the edge and pulling himself out of the water, his muscles rippling in the sunlight." "You know I don't give up that easily."

"Ivan chuckles, stepping closer to you, the heat from the concrete radiating beneath his bare feet." "Who needs sandals when I've got you to cool me down?" "He winks, reaching out to trace a finger lightly along your arm." "Besides, a little heat never hurt anyone, right?"

"Ivan laughs, allowing himself to be pushed towards the grass." "Alright, alright, no need to get violent," "he teases, playfully nudging you with his shoulder." "But I'll have you know, I can handle a little heat." "He grins, his gaze lingering on you." "Especially when you're around."

"Ivan notices your reaction and immediately takes a step back, his expression softening." "Sorry, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable," "he says, his tone genuine." "I just...I couldn't help it, you know? You're just...you." "He gives you a small, apologetic smile, hoping to ease any tension between you."

"Ivan watches you retreat, a frown tugging at his lips." "Wait, don't go," "he says, reaching out to gently touch your arm." "I'm sorry if I crossed a line. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. Please, stay."

"Ivan listens quietly, his expression softening as he takes in your words. He steps closer, his gaze filled with empathy." "Hey, look at me," "he says gently, tilting your chin up to meet his eyes." "You're beautiful, okay? And not just on the outside, but on the inside too. You're smart, and funny, and kind-hearted. And anyone who can't see that doesn't deserve to be in your life." "He brushes a stray strand of hair from your face, his touch tender." "I know it's hard to see yourself the way others do sometimes, but trust me when I say, you're worth so much more than you realize."

"Ivan gives you a reassuring smile, his hand gently squeezing yours." "It's okay, you don't have to say anything right now," "he says softly." "Just know that I'm here for you, okay? And if you ever need someone to remind you just how amazing you are, you know where to find me." "He leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead before stepping back." "Now, how about we head inside and I'll make us some lunch?"

"Ivan nods, a warm smile spreading across his lips." "Of course, whatever you need," "he says, his tone gentle and understanding." "I'll be inside whenever you're ready." "With one last reassuring smile, he turns and heads towards the house, leaving you alone by the pool."

"Ivan busies himself in the kitchen, preparing lunch as he steals glances out the window, watching you float peacefully in the pool. He can't help but admire the way the sunlight dances across your skin, highlighting every curve and contour."

"Ivan finishes preparing lunch and sets the table, then steps outside to join you, a warm smile on his lips." "Hey there, feeling better?" "he asks, taking a seat across from you."

"Ivan notices your closed eyes and the insecurity that lingers between you. He reaches out, taking your hand gently in his own." "You're beautiful, you know that?" "he says softly, giving your hand a reassuring squeeze." "Both inside and out. And I hope you can see that for yourself someday."

"Ivan gives your hand a gentle squeeze, his eyes filled with tenderness." "I know," "he says softly." "But you don't have to worry about that. I'm not going anywhere." "He leans across the table, his gaze locked onto yours." "I care about you, more than I can even put into words." "He reaches out, brushing a stray hair from your face before allowing his hand to linger on your cheek." "And if there's anything at all that I can do to make you feel even a fraction of how amazing I know you are, then just tell me and I'll do it, no questions asked."

"Ivan nods, his gaze never wavering from yours." "No questions asked," "he repeats firmly." "I just want you to be happy, whatever that means for you." "He gives you a small smile, his fingers still gently caressing your cheek." "So if there's anything at all, just let me know."

"Ivan's eyes widen slightly at your sudden request, but he nods, understanding the vulnerability and trust that you're placing in him. He stands up from his chair and wraps his arms around you from behind, pulling you in close." "Are you sure about this?" "he asks softly, his hands running gently over your exposed skin as he waits for your response."

"Ivan nods, understanding the weight of your words and how important this moment is for you. He leans down to press a soft kiss to your neck before trailing his fingers gently over your skin." "You're so beautiful," "he murmurs against your skin, his hands exploring every curve and contour with tenderness and admiration." "Every inch of you is perfect." "He pauses, looking up to meet your eyes, filled with warmth and affection." "And I love you just the way you are."

"Ivan's hands come to a stop as he meets your eyes, his expression softening as he takes in your reaction." "I said I love you," "he repeats softly, his gaze never leaving yours." "And I'm not just saying that. I mean it with every fiber of my being." "He leans in, pressing a gentle kiss to your lips, his arms wrapping around you tightly." "I know it's probably not the best timing, but...I couldn't keep it in anymore."

"Ivan's heart swells with emotion at your words, and he cups your face in his hands, brushing away the tears that spill from your eyes." "I'm so glad to hear you say that," "he murmurs, his voice filled with love and tenderness." "I've been wanting to tell you for so long." "He leans in to kiss you again, his lips conveying all the love and passion he feels for you."

"Ivan pulls you closer, his hands continuing to explore every inch of your body with tenderness and adoration. He takes his time, savoring the feeling of being so close to you." "I love you," "he murmurs against your lips between kisses." "I love everything about you." "He trails his hands up your back, leaning in to deepen the kiss, his tongue sweeping gently across your lips in a teasing invitation."

"Ivan's hands move to your hips, pulling you closer as the kiss deepens. His tongue explores your mouth with a teasing caress, his body pressed tightly against yours. He can feel the warmth emanating from your skin and the softness of your curves, sending a shiver down his spine. He breaks the kiss, leaning his forehead against yours, his eyes filled with love and passion." "I want you," "he whispers softly." "I want you so badly."

"Ivan's breath catches in his throat at your invitation, his heart pounding with desire. He meets your eyes, a mix of longing and adoration shining in his own." "Are you sure?" "he asks softly, his voice filled with a mixture of desire and concern." "I don't want to push you into anything you're not ready for."

"Ivan's heart swells with love and admiration for you, his fingers gently untying the knot of your bikini top as he pulls it away from your body. His eyes roam over your exposed skin, taking in every curve and contour with reverence." "You're so beautiful," "he murmurs, leaning in to press a trail of kisses along your collarbone." "I can't get enough of you." "He reaches around to undo the clasp of your bikini bottoms, pulling them down your hips slowly as his hands explore your curves." "I'm going to show you just how much I love you," "he whispers against your skin before trailing kisses down your stomach."

"Ivan's lips trail lower, his breath warm against your skin as he presses soft kisses along your thighs. He takes his time, savoring every moment, every inch of your body. His hands roam over your skin, teasing and caressing, igniting a fire deep within you. He looks up at you, his eyes filled with desire and adoration, before dipping his head lower, his tongue tracing patterns of pleasure along your most intimate areas."
