The Devil's Cursed Witch novel Chapter 388

Ember got alerted and stepped away from him, crossing her hands in front of her chest. "I don't want to."

"But you have to."

"Why?"

"Your clothes will get wet if you swim with them on. We don't have spare clothes for you to change into afterwards," he answered, looking as serious as he could. "I know human bodies are so frail they will catch a cold if they wear wet clothes."

Ember could see he was serious, but she didn't want to go into the water naked. "Do I really need to learn how to swim?" _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"One needs to learn such things. You might not know when it will come handy. This skill might save your life in the future."

"I don't need to save myself. You are always with me. You won't let me be in danger in the first place."

"What if you have to save me one day?" he asked.

'Highly unlikely,' was Ember's first thought. 'Draven is the strongest person in existence, isn't he?' Maybe the only person who could put Draven in danger was himself.

Still, she decided to not argue over it. It was nice to imagine herself heroically jumping into the river to save Draven, no matter how unlikely that day comes.

"Fine."

"Clothes," he urged and she nodded obediently. She removed her clothes and passed them to her mate.

Draven placed them on a dry boulder farther away from the river. With him standing so close, she felt a little awkward being naked in front of him like this.

"Won't you remove yours?"

Draven only had one piece of clothing on him.

"Do you want me to?"

Just as his hand was about to reach for that brown animal hide wrapped around his waist, she yelled, grabbing his wrist, "No, no! It's fine, it's fine! I mean, it would get wet as well but--"

"It's the hide of a magical creature. It will dry in no time," he replied. "And I'm a Dragon. I won't get sick from the cold."

"Oh, that's amazing."

"But if you want, I..."

"No, no, we are fine like this. You are perfect the way you are--"

He gazed at her naked body with his eyes dark with lust. "You sure are perfect the way you are."

Ember sighed and turned him around to face the river. "You are going to teach me how to swim. Remember?"

Draven had an amused smile on his face as he let her push him towards the water.

Just as they stepped into the river, Draven held her hand and pulled her deeper into the water till it reached her chest. Ember felt relieved as she didn't feel exposed and even her chest was now covered with water.

She tightened her hold on Draven's hand.
