I shook my head, my eyes wide. “No idea.”
“Water.” Ty grinned.
I sighed. “You’re right. Why didn’t I think of that?” I mumbled to myself and I rushed out of the room, to the back hall. Without hesitation, I opened the door to the patio. Night had fallen. My neighbors were mostly sixty-five or older. And I had privacy hedges. I untied the sarong and let it flutter down to the cement patio. Then I stood beside the deep end. “I’m dying,” I moaned as I yanked my swimsuit off my shoulders. Then I pulled it off my body and kicked it to the edge of the pool. Finally, I jumped in, relishing the cool water as it washed over me, soothing every inch of flesh. Slowly, I kicked my way to the surface and gasped for air.
“Kate?” Ty squatted beside the pool, a glass in hand.
I propped my elbows up on the edge of the concrete. “What’s that?” I pointed to the tumbler he was holding.
He smirked. “This would be the ice water I thought you needed because you’re hot. Of course, this works too.” He set the cup on the cement, stood and kicked off his shoes, then pulled his shirt over his head.
Dear god, the man looked like an angel, but he had a sinfully delicious looking body. What the hell was he doing here with me? It was as if the chlorine had this sobering effect. I pressed myself into a corner and tried to hide my body as best I could. I was going to be such a disappointment compared to the women he was used to. The humiliation was almost too much. So, I sank beneath the surface. Seconds later he dove in and swam over to me.
“Hi. What’re you doing?” He eyed me curiously.
“Hiding,” I mumbled.
“Well, you’re doing a piss poor job of it.” He chuckled. “Oh, and did I mention I opened my eyes while I was under there.”
I groaned. “That can’t be true.”
“Why not?” He frowned.
“Because you’re still here. If you’d really seen me naked, you’d be long gone.” Then I ducked under the water, pushed off the wall, and swam away. I didn’t make it far before Ty caught up to me.
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled us into the shallow end. “For the record, you’re beautiful, Kate. You have an incredible body. And I hope you braced yourself because I’m going to kiss you now.” Ty bent his head and matched his lips to mine.
I can’t remember the last time I was kissed. Apparently, it’s one of those things that just comes back to a person as needed, since with Ty, this all felt natural in the most abnormal way. He made me feel mushy inside. I couldn’t think. Nothing mattered except for his lips on mine, his tongue dancing with mine, his groin pressed against mine. I wrapped my legs around his waist without thinking, without ever considering the implications. Honestly, I didn’t care. For the first time in a long time, I wasn’t running through a cause and effect list, I wasn’t thinking in terms of gains and losses. Hell, I didn’t even consider the consequences. I simply wanted to know what one night of passion with this man would be like. Would we fit as perfectly as I hoped? Would he be able to make me orgasm? Would one night be enough?

Ty
Somehow, in the course of the kissing, which turned into heavy petting, which soon had my cock hard and jerking, I ended up carrying her from the pool and into the house. “What’re you doing?” She was nibbling on my ear lobe and I had a horrible time trying to concentrate. Shit, I had a horrible time walking. I wanted to hold her against a wall and take her fast and hard, but Kate deserved better than that. I knew instinctively, it had been awhile. I merely suspected the last lay was disappointing at best.
“I’m touring the rest of the house,” I teased. “I thought we might start with the master bedroom. I’ve heard nice things about the bathroom.”
In response, she nipped harder and I practically ran down the hall and stopped in front of the first door I found. Okay, I thought it was the bedroom. Turns out, when I opened the door, it was the media room. “Bedroom,” I panted. Hell, I would’ve taken her in one of those leather recliners. I’d christen every room in the house if she’d let me.
“Down the hall. All the way to the end. Double doors.” Her voice sounded strained and I knew she was struggling too.
With her directions, I found the room faster than I would’ve otherwise. I raced to the bed where I laid her down in the center of the mattress with such tenderness, you’d have thought she was a newborn. I felt silly, but I wanted this to be special.
“Lights,” she murmured.
I reached for the lamp on the nightstand, ready to turn it on, but she gasped in horror. “Oh, you want the lights off?”
Her head bobbed and she smiled shyly in response. “Yes, please.”
I bit my lower lip. “Sorry. This won’t work for me.” Fear darkened her face. I glanced about and rushed into her huge walk in closet while she propped herself up by her elbows and looked incredibly uncomfortable. Once inside, I began opening her drawers. I knew what I was looking for, but I wasn’t sure she’d have it. Then I found it…the perfect accessory for our night.
“What’s that?” She pointed to the red scarf in my hand.
“This is yours, right? I thought you’d know what it is,” I teased.
“But what are you going to do with it?” Kate began to tremble and I wasn’t sure if it was from the air conditioning hitting her wet skin or the fear of what was to come. Either way, I wasn’t going to let her suffer.
“You may not want to see, but I need to. We need to do this right. I want there to be no secrets between us. I’m going to explore and worship every inch of you, Kate, the way you’re supposed to be treated.” Then I took the scarf and used it to create a blindfold, carefully knotting it at the back of her head. “Too tight?”
