"We enjoy our holidays and there's a big world to see out there," Ash said, though he didn't necessarily go for the sight-seeing aspects or even the nature. He just enjoyed the party and hedonism that many of those places visited. Ash concluded, "We just have a lot of money and enjoy using it to visit stunning places. If we didn't come here, I wouldn't be able to help you right now. Especially getting those hard to reach places."
His hands went from her shoulders down her back to the area he spoke off. His knuckles kneaded into the skin there lightly. Lyra was good at the push and pull aspect of this conversation. Friendly flirting was always fun and the teasing of something more just made it all the more interesting. Nobody wanted the flirting to be boring, and guys sometimes liked the idea of what could happen, even if it never did. It was better than getting stonewalled.
Ash leaned in, his hands now resting at her hips and his thumbs traced along the lining of her bikini bottom. His mouth was close to her ear as he said, "Because you can't knock something until you've tried it, Lyra. You come out with me tonight, and we can go exploring after or tomorrow." He wasn't above some compromise, and that was something his father often used. Give a little and make it sound like they were getting the better end of the deal, but in the end you were the one who got everything you wanted.
"Come on, Lyra, one night of dancing isn't going to kill you," he said, "and I'll make sure it's one you'll enjoy every moment of."
