Laughing, I swim away, but he’s faster and stronger and reaches me in seconds. He pulls me to him, and losing all common sense, I wrap my arms and legs around his body. All humor fades from his face, and I’m no longer laughing either.
“Josh,” I manage to get out as our eyes meet and hold.
“Embee…”
I swallow. “Why am I always wet when I’m around you?” Ohmigod, did I really just say that? “I mean, this is the second time we fell into the pool.” I glance down at my soaked dress and tug it away from my breasts. It makes a sucking noise, and the sound is followed by Josh’s strangled growl.
“Embee…”
“I…I…” I stare at him, wanting nothing more than to feel his lips on my mouth, on my body, between my legs. I can’t tell him any of that. Look what happened last time. “What?” I ask as he continues to stare at me.
“I missed you too.”

Josh
Ember begins to shiver in my arms and I’m not sure if she’s cold or reacting to me telling her I missed her. Our past isn’t a great one. I lost everyone I loved that day in her brother’s room. Maybe going forward, I can change that. I might not be able to mend things with Liam, but I’m beginning to believe I can with her. She told me she missed me and I’m grasping her words tight in my heart, hoping for a fresh start. I want us to build something new—something better. If that’s what she wants.
It’s true, I don’t deserve her. I don’t deserve love after the way I treated her brother and hurt her with my callus words. Tonight, though, I can’t help but want to grasp this opportunity to start again, to make things right. I don’t have sex before a big game. It’s a ridiculous superstition, but something I’ve stuck to none the less. Right now, though, I’m not going to miss this chance with Ember. The game is important to me for sure, the most important one of my career so far. Ember, however, is the most important woman in the world to me, and I need to show her that.
“Let’s get you inside and warmed up.”
She nods, and brushes water from her bottom lip. Unable to help myself, I bend and press my lips to hers. She moans into my mouth, her sounds telling me she wants this as much as I do, but I need to hear it from her.
“Em,” I whisper. “Do you want this?”
“I want this,” she says so softly she’s hard to hear.
“Back in college—” She puts her finger over my lips, shutting down my apology. I’ve thought long and hard over the years at how I handled that situation. I did everything wrong.
“The past…” she whispers. “Not right now, Josh. Please.”
“Okay.” I carry her from the pool and water drips at our feet. Thank God her purse didn’t take a swim. I snatch it up and carry her inside. All eyes turn to us, and I keep my head down and walk straight to the elevator. I press her floor and we remain silent, her body shivering in my arms as I carry her to her room, open the door and take her inside.
I set her down by the bed, and she tugs on her dress. “I need to warm up.”
“You have two options.”
She blinks up at me and I continue with, “You can jump in the shower, or I can strip off your wet clothes and warm you with my hands and mouth.”
Her body quakes, and her breathing comes a little faster. “I think I like option two.”
“Yeah, me too.” I close the distance between us, and walk around her to unzip her dress. She quivers as I slide it down her wet flesh, and let it pool at her feet. I lightly run my fingers up and down her arm to create heat with friction and she moans, her wet hair spilling down her back as her head rolls to the side.
I unhook her sexy bra and toss it before walking around her and sinking to my knees. The sweet scent of her skin, still plays havoc with my body after all these years. It fills my senses as I press my nose to her stomach and breathe her in. Her fingers tangle in my hair as she rocks against me, moving her hips to let me know exactly what she wants. Damn if I don’t want to give it all to her.
I grip the lace on her panties and tug them down. She balances on one leg and then the other as I remove them. Once I have her completely naked, I grip her thighs. “Spread for me, Em.”
She widens her legs and I part her pretty pink nether lips with my fingers, taking my time to admire the sight of her perfect pussy. She whimpers and rocks and I sigh, wanting to stare at her all night, but she needs other things from me, and the truth is that I also need to do those things to her.
I lean into her, and run my tongue over her hot pussy, and she quivers. “Warming up?” I ask between each delicious lick.
“No,” she says, and I laugh. “Still cold. Freezing actually.”
“Maybe this will help.” I press my face into her pussy and eat at her, sucking, nibbling and tasting the depths of her.
“Yes,” she cries out. “Yes, Josh just like that.”
