He kissed my temple. "Not this one. Tell me when you want to explore."
"You've made me curious, so I want to see it now."
He took my hand and led me to the door that led to the basement. I couldn't imagine I’d like it more than the living room.
But I was wrong. It wasn't really a basement because it had a window overlooking the garden. It was much smaller than the one in the living room, of course, but it wasn’t at all cave-like. It had a spa and sauna, a whirlpool, and even a gym.
I sighed as I took it all in. "I don't think I’ll go back. You can just leave me here to be the house sitter or something."
He grinned, taking me in his arms from behind. I loved when he randomly hugged me—it made me feel safe, and that wasn't a sensation I was familiar with.
"We can come back here next weekend if you want to, Reese."
Not only did he make me feel safe but also happy.
I turned around, moving my hands up his arms to his shoulders. "I want to test out everything: the gym, the sauna, and the whirlpool. Although, I didn't bring a bathing suit."
"That's not a problem."
I raised a brow. "Are you trying to talk me into skinny-dipping?"
"You're the one who brought it up."
"True. Hmm. What to start with first? Maybe the gym."
"You have workout clothes with you?" he asked.
I rolled my eyes. "Duh. Have you seen my luggage? I packed everything I thought could come in handy—except a bathing suit, since I figured it would be too cold to swim. How about you?"
"I run in the morning, so I brought my sneakers."
"I like working out, but watching you while I do it would be extra motivation," I said.
The gym was small—a few weight stations, a cross-trainer, a treadmill, and a rowing machine—but it was more than enough.
"Come on, let's go upstairs and grab our things."
Half an hour later, he was running on the treadmill, and I went on the cross-trainer. It was perfectly positioned so I had a good view of him and the outdoors.
This was the happiest day I'd had in a long time. I loved watching Dom sweat on the treadmill, and it was motivating me to do the same.
After finishing my cardio, I went to the mat and did my Pilates sequence while he moved to the ab bench and then to the weights. The latter was definitely my favorite—those delicious muscles practically pumped up from the effort. After finishing my routine, I lay down and propped up on my elbows, watching him.
"Enjoying the show?" he asked with a grin as he sat up straight on the weight bench.
"Yep, and I'm not even sorry."
"Are you done?" he asked.
"Yes, but I don’t even have the energy to get up."
He walked toward me at a lazy pace. Yum. I never found sweaty men appealing, but Dom definitely was. He extended both hands to me. I first gave him the left one and then the right, and he pulled me to my feet.
We showered in the bathroom he had downstairs. It was small, so we had to take turns, and there was no room for any sexy activity.
While Dom washed up, I stood in the shower door. Every time he turned around, I squeezed his ass. I heard him laugh in between the sound of water spilling all over the place.
After he turned off the faucet and faced me, he made to move forward, but I stepped back quickly.
