Especially when Tai is gazing at me in such an intense, almost primal way, like I’m the hottest thing he’s ever seen. It’s hard to feel anything but desired.
God, I hope that’s not all in my head.
I am starting to flush though, just from his gaze, so I quickly get to the edge of the pool to cool off.
“Careful!” he cautions me as I step on the slick rocks.
They’re as slippery as ice.
Before I know it, I’m falling.
I pitch forward, so I fall right into the water.
On my stomach.
SPLAT.
Ow.
I haven’t done a motherfucking belly flop since I was a kid, and with boobs it’s a whole new painful ballgame.
I lift my head, trying to swim, my skin burning.
My face is burning too, from embarrassment. So much for the water cooling me off.
“Are you okay?” Tai asks, though he’s also laughing as he swims over to me. I guess it serves me right.
“I’m fine,” I mumble, trying to find my footing, my toes skirting over the slimy rocks at the bottom. Ick.
“Not the most graceful, are you?” he asks, grinning at me. A lock of hair has flopped on his forehead and I kick forward to reach out and brush it off his face. My fingers tingle as I touch his skin, my breath catching in my chest, not just from treading water, but from how close we are to each other. He briefly dips his chin and mouth into the water, his eyes alternating between flirty and intense.
I don’t mind either look.
“Hey, I’ll have you know that I was able to do yoga on your boat. How many people can say that?”
He spits out a bit of water and grins again, those pretty white teeth against his skin, his eyes crinkling in the corners. “I watched you do yoga. You fell over a lot.”
“The boat was constantly moving!”
“Any excuse,” he says.
I’m about to ask him to do yoga on dry land, just to see if he can do a standing split without falling over, when something BRUSHES AGAINST MY LEG.
“Ahhhh!” I scream, and with rapid-fire kicks I manage to lunge at Tai, wrapping my arms around his neck, my legs going around his waist.
“What is it, what is it?” he asks as I hold on tight, trying to get as much of my body above the water as possible. I’m aware that he’s having to tread water extra hard, now that I’m clinging to him like a bear climbing a tree.
“Something touched my leg!”
“Are you sure it wasn’t your other leg?”
I’m not sure. “It wasn’t my other leg! It was a thing!”
“A mysterious water thing?”
“Shut up,” I growl in his ear, holding him tighter. I have to say, it’s making me feel better.
“It was probably a fish,” he says. “That could be our lunch.”
“You didn’t even bring a rod.”
“I can spear fish.”
I pull back to look at him, our faces just inches apart. He’s gazing at me through black wet lashes. Lucky bastard. I can’t get that look even with a million coats of mascara.
“You spear fish?” I ask, my voice quieter now, since our lips are so close.
“Mmmhmm,” he murmurs, his weighted gaze on my mouth. “I can spear a lot of things.”
Oh jeez. I’m suddenly, painfully aware that if I let myself lower on his waist, just a little, the tip of his dick will touch me in just the right place. That’s assuming he has a hard-on, and from the way he’s looking at me, I’m pretty sure he does.
I’d wager…
Before I even know what’s happening, I lean forward, my body operating on instinct only.
And I kiss him.
I can’t help it.
All these weeks of wanting to do this, wanting to know what his lips feel like against mine, it was inevitable that I’d lose control.
He stiffens at first, hesitating, then I feel the muscles in his back relax as he kisses me back.
And…shit.
I mean…wow.
He’s a good kisser.
Lips soft but firm, his tongue slow and teasing at first, then as his mouth opens, becomes hungrier, greedier, I feel like I’m about to be devoured, god I want to be devoured, and…
We both slip under the water, submerged, still kissing, Tai unable to keep us both afloat.
Then we break apart, coming up for air.
I stare at him.
He stares at me.
A goat stares at the both of us.
“Oh my god!” I cry out suddenly at the goat who has appeared in the foliage behind Tai.
Tai whips around. “Oh. Hello. A goat.”
The goat opens its mouth and lets out a horrible bleat that sounds more like a human scream.
“Holy shit,” I swear, my heart racing fast for so many reasons. “What is up with that goat?”
The goat does another bleat, then turns around and runs back into the trees.
Tai watches it go, his back to me, and in that moment I realize he’s trying to put distance between us, between what had just happened.
