“Oh?”

“I'd be lying if I…”

Through the phone, I can hear movement in the water.

My mind drifts to that hint of trimmed hair I saw above his…

“If you what?” Marco nudges.

“If I told you that talking to you while you're naked doesn't arouse the fuck out of me.”

“It does?” he teases. “I'm so sorry.”

“You're not sorry,” I smirk. “You want me begging for it.”

“Who me?”

He knows exactly what he’s doing.

And I submit willingly.

“You love it when my dick is hungry for you.”

For a moment neither of us speak.

But I can hear his breath grow heavier with each tick of the clock.

“And is it?” he asks. “Hungry for me?”

Always. Both day and night.

“You know it is,” I whisper.

Straddling the back of the couch, I grind myself slowly into it.

The same friction I felt between my legs when we were making out in the supply room.

A subtle moan in my ear suggests that somebody's hands have ventured beneath the bath water.

“Come for a swim with me,” Marco implores. “It's not that late. South Bank is open until midnight.”

The thought of holding him in the water, nothing but a thin piece of lycra between us, is enough to tighten my grip on the cushions.

“Meet you under the arches in thirty minutes,” I say.

???

Warm air hovers thick, as city lights scatter reflective sparks along the river.

The pool is smooth at this end, only a few swimmers dotted along the shallows.

Plenty of shadowy corners to explore.

Marco is already there, perched casually on a low tree branch.

“Only had me waiting three minutes this time,” he says playfully. “You're getting better at this punctuality thing.”

“My motives weren't entirely pure,” I shrug.
