Chapter 401: She Was Angrier Than She thought
"Calm down, Iris... I’m holding you, aren’t I?"
Arthur’s magnetic voice resonated in her ear as his warm breath spread on her neck.
"I won’t let go of you. No matter what... Trust me..."
"Just close your eyes and relax..."
He spoke in his magnetic deep baritone voice that was much sexier than any ASMR voice artist out there and Talia actually calmed down like a baby listening to its mother. Her heartbeat steadied and her breathing got regular. She found herself calm for the first time in forever in this much water.
She felt his hold loosening around her waist and she immediately hung close to him.
"Easy, Iris... Relax... I am still holding you. Relax yourself and allow the water to hold you... find your balance... Free yourself and feel the embrace of water..."
Like a Yoga Guru, he went on with his instructions and Talia with her eyes closed, got immersed in his voice. She could feel his big hand holding her waist and she was deep in the pool with her legs above the floor and the water was up to her shoulders.
She really was floating!
Arthur on the other hand smirked seeing her entirely trusting him. He knew how much she hated to be in this much water and here she is standing in the middle of a seven foot deep pool, with her eyes closed, entirely depending on him.
I know how much you love and trust me Iris... I am sorry I got impatient with you. I even planned to provoke you to get the ’truth’ when in fact you never have changed... I’m sorry.
