Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law-Chapter 80: Crazy

"What is that?" Melanie asked as she stepped off the speedboat onto the new platform, her gaze locking onto the strange contraption that the person wore on his feet. There was another speed boat, in the front and as she watched the man wearing it jumped into the water.

Her eyes followed the man who leapt into the water, vanishing for a moment into the lake before resurfacing slowly, as he slowly started to come up and the other boat started to speed up...

A second later, he rose into the air with two powerful jets of water blasting beneath his feet, lifting him higher and higher. The man let out a whoop of excitement, arms flailing as he tried to balance. Melanie felt her stomach twist—half thrill, half nerves as she watched with wide eyes.

.Then he wobbled, teetered dangerously, and with a loud splash, he crashed back into the water before emerging upwards still grinning.

"That, my dear Melon, is a flyboard. You can wait here and I'll go do it."

She caught his wrist, her eyes fixed as anothe person rose into the air, and said," I want to do it too!"

Adam paused as he turned back. Surprised. "You want to do it too? Oh my! My dear Melon does have some adventurous bones! I was going first so that you would not be too scared..."

Melanie scowled at him," I am not scared of anything, Adam Collins! I want to do that!"

She was about to march forward to go talk to the people at the side who were managing the thing, when Adam shook his head and stopped her,

Adam chuckled, shaking his head. "Hold on, you can't just jump in like that. You need instructions first."

"Have you done it before?" Melanie asked curiously

"Of course I have." Adam answered smugly.

"Of course," she repeated, mimicking his tone with an exaggerated eye roll. "Show-off."

His smile turned downright wicked then and Melanie felt a flutter of fear. She did not like this expression and then he said, "Oh, Melon... let me show you what showing off really looks like."

Before she could react, he grabbed her wrist and tugged her forward pulling her along. Melanie stumbled slightly but followed, her curiosity now mingling with suspicion.

For a moment, Adam paused to speak with one of the instructors, exchanging a few quick words and flashing his signature grin before returning to her side.

"Wait here," he instructed, winking before dropping to sit on the edge of the deck. Melanie crossed her arms and watched as he bent to tighten the straps and laces of the bulky boots attached to the flyboard.Ha! He really was going to show off by doing it first.

She watched as his fingers moved with precision, securing each strap until they were firmly locked in place. Once again, her mind tried to provide images of what he could do with those long fingers but she shook her head. Better to see how he moved in this first.

Once he was locked in, he checked again and then slid into the water. Okay, this part seemed easy enough.

The boat's engine rumbled to life as the driver turned to Adam , waiting for his signal. Melanie lingered at the edge of the platform, and watched as Adam floated effortlessly onto the surface before turning to look at her... as he extended a hand, his fingers curling in a beckoning gesture.

"Come here," Adam called out and she frowned.

"Why?"

"Just come here," he said, his voice low and teasing. "Trust me."

"That's the problem," she muttered under her breath, but curiosity got the better of her. Maybe he needed her to hold something for him or ehatever. She stepped closer, carefully approaching the edge.

The moment she was within reach, however, Adam's hand shot out and gripped hers tightly. With one swift tug, he pulled her forward. Melanie stumbled, arms flailing, and landed hard against his shoulders as she fought to regain her balance.

"Careful!" she scolded, "What are you doing?" She asked him as her feet were now on top of his boots, in the water. She tried to move back, but before she could, his hand was aroung her waist, pulling her until she was flush against him, their bodies together. "Relax." He whispered in her ear and she scowled, about to question him.

In the next instance, however, her eyes widened as his other hand landed on her lower back, pulling her pelvis closer to him

"Wait—what are you—"

Before she could finish,, he whispered," I am showing off" and then she shrieked, clutching him like a lifeline as the flyboard roared to life beneath them. Water sprayed wildly, and suddenly they were rising—slowly at first, then faster—higher and higher above the surface.

Melanie's shriek hit a new octave as the flyboard lifted them higher. Her fingers dug into Adam's shoulders, and she buried her face against his neck, holding on for life as she imagined hitting the rock bottom at the lake.

"If you keep screaming like that," Adam shouted over the rush of air into her ear, "I'm going to go deaf!"

"Good!" Melanie snapped back, lifting her head just enough to glare at him and scream in hs ear, "You deserve it for being insane!"

Adam chuckled, the sound vibrating through his chest. "Careful, Melon," he warned. "You keep curse me like that and I might just drop you!

Melanie's eyes widened, and her arms clamped tighter around his neck as she quickly buried her face back into his shoulders. "Don't you dare!"

"Then stop abusing me," he shot back smugly, clearly enjoying himself. One arm remained securely around her waist while his other hand adjusted their balance. The board dipped slightly, making her clutch him even tighter, her breath hitching as her stomach somersaulted.

"Relax," Adam said again. "Look around. My balance is solid, you won't fall."

Cautiously, Melanie turned her head, her eyes widening at the incredible view. The lake stretched out below them, glittering beneath the sun, and beyond it, rows of trees swayed gently in the breeze.

"This is..." she breathed, surprised by how exhilarating it felt. "Wow."

"Told you," Adam said smugly.

"Don't get cocky," she shot back but she coudld not get the biting note in her voice. Not when she was clinging to him.

"Oh, I'm just getting started," he replied with a wicked grin. "Hold tight."

Her eyes snapped back to his face. "Wait... what do you mean by that?"

"I'm going to shift my wait and then twirl us."

"You're what?! How are you going to..."

But before she could finish, Adam shifted his weight, tilting them slightly. The board began to spin, slow at first, then faster. Melanie squeezed her eyes shut, her arms tightening further around his neck.

"You're insane!" she gasped.

"Insane enough to do this..." Adam murmured.

Melanie's eyes flew open just as Adam turned his head—and their lips brushed. Soft. Unexpected. The briefest touch, but enough to send a jolt of surprise through her.

Her breath hitched, her gaze locking with his. His eyes twinkled with mischief and something that made her forget the spinning world around them.

And then, as if on cue, the flyboard spun faster. The world blurred around them, water spraying up in glistening arcs. But through it all, neither of them looked away.

"You planned that!" Melanie accused breathlessly when they finally slowed down and she realized that they were going lower...

"I planned the twirl," Adam said, voice smug. "The kiss... that was just a happy accident."

"Idiot," she muttered though her face was warm despite the cool spray of water.

"Adorable idiot," he corrected with a grin. "Now, hold on. I'm going to land us."

"Oh, God," Melanie groaned.
