“This feels heavenly. I can almost forget everything that’s happened the past few days.”
“Everything?” He draped an arm across her shoulders, the tips of his fingers dabbling a pattern on her arm. “Even this...electricity between us?”
“If we give in to this—” she flicked some water at his chest “—thing between us, how’s it going to end?”
“It’s gonna end with me making mad, passionate love to you.”
The hot water got hotter and she wriggled in closer to him on the step, her thigh brushing his. “Not that I have any objection at all to making love—especially the mad, passionate kind—but what happens when you get your answers? When you sell your dad’s place? When you go to school somewhere?”
“When you take off for your next art show?”
She nodded and then wedged her chin on his shoulder, the steam rising from his skin making her blink—it couldn’t be tears.
“I don’t know. I can only give you the here and now. I don’t even know what’s going to happen in a day or two, but I do know that I want you.” He growled softly in her ear. “I know that I want to be inside you.”
She gave a little shiver and slipped farther beneath the water, her fingers digging into his thigh for leverage.
“But I understand if you don’t want to go there with me if I can’t promise you anything more. Hell, maybe that’s the answer you’re looking for. Maybe you don’t want to be saddled with a beat-up vet like me for the long haul, anyway.”
With a quick glance at the door to the pool area, she swung around to face him, straddling his lap with her legs. She put a finger to his lips and then replaced it with a wet kiss.
“You couldn’t be more wrong, and it makes me wonder how you can possibly make mad, passionate love to me when you don’t seem to understand the first thing about me or what I want.”
He cinched her waist with his hands. “So, you’re looking for something long-term, or you don’t care if this is a fling?”
“For a guy, you’re analyzing this way too much.” She scooted against him and felt his erection swell against her inner thigh. “Or maybe not.”
Slipping his hands beneath the elastic waistband of her panties, he smoothed his palms across her bottom, his fingers kneading her flesh.
She dipped her head to his chest and ran the tip of her tongue along the jagged scar that marred his smooth skin, as she rocked her hips against him.
He groaned and dragged his fingers over her hip to pull aside the skimpy material of her underwear. Sighing, she fell forward and lodged her head in the hollow between his neck and shoulder.
Closing her eyes, she held her breath as the warm, bubbling water coursed over her sensitive flesh now laid bare. Then he took two fingers and drew them across her skin, leaving a trail of fire that she felt even under the hot water.
She took a quick peak over her right shoulder. “Do you think it’s safe?”
“I’ll keep my eyes on the door and my hands on your body. How’s that?” He caressed her again and then slipped his fingers inside her.
She collapsed against him again, curling her arms around his neck. Jim really was a bad boy. This was exactly the sort of behavior all the girls’ parents had been worried about—and rightly so.
As his fingers explored her, his thumb swept back and forth across her throbbing flesh, stoking the flame in her belly. She pressed her lips against his throat, where a pulse hammered wildly.
She dropped her hand between their bodies to where his fingers were toying with her, teasing her, driving her mad.
He captured her fingers. “Do you want to feel how hot you are?”
Before she could peel her tongue from the roof of her mouth to answer, he replaced his fingers with hers and she could feel her own burgeoning desire. With his hand driving her own, she stroked herself. Then he brought her hand to his lips and kissed her palm.
He continued to wind her up as she trailed her fingers along the length of his erection. He might be a broken-down vet as he liked to call himself, but he had a lot of full-functioning parts.
Her muscles tensed, she gripped his hips with her thighs and then the wave of passion cresting in her body broke and she fell apart. As she rocked against him, riding out her orgasm, the water lapped between their bodies.
