“No, I’m so sorry. I got wine all over you.”

He smiled reassuringly. “It’s my fault.”

“Okay, it’s slightly your fault.”

He laughed. “Tell you what. Since we’re both wet, why don’t we put on our swimsuits and get in the hot tub? We can let our wine-covered clothes soak in the sink while we’re outside.”

My eyes widened in shock from Liam’s suggestion. “It’s cold outside.”

“It’s not that cold, and we’ll be warm in the hot tub.”

I wasn’t so sure about that.

“And when we’re done, I’ll come in and build us a fire. We can soak in the hot tub, and then we’ll relax on the couch and watch a movie.”

I was excited to try the fireplace, and if I kept my body under the water, it would be warm. “Okay, let’s do it.” I pointed my finger at him. “But if I’m cold, I’m coming in right away, and you’re still going to build me that fire.”

He laughed again. “Deal.”

LIAM

As I waited for Chloe to change, I went into the bathroom to find some towels for when we got out of the hot tub. In the closet next to the sink were washcloths, hand towels, regular towels, and a pile of big, fluffy beach towels.

I grabbed two beach towels and headed back to the living room. I had already changed into my swim trunks, and I considered starting the fire in the wood stove before we went outside, but I didn’t want to burn down the cabin. I’d been to a number of fires as a paramedic, and it wasn’t worth the risk. I could picture the faces of the firefighters I worked with judging me in disappointment if I left the fire burning unattended.

I did make sure that there were several logs of wood ready to be thrown in once we came back inside though.

I wasn’t sure what I was more excited for—going in the hot tub with Chloe or snuggling up on the couch with her.

I marched to the fridge and grabbed another beer. After twisting off the cap, I took a long, hard swallow.

I shouldn’t be thinking of Chloe as anything other than a friend. At least, not right now. This was not the weekend to get involved with her on any level. She was hurting, and I wasn’t going to take advantage of that.

Feeling good about the pep talk to myself, I set my half-empty beer on the counter, ready to sit, relax, and simply enjoy her company.

But all that flew out the window as soon as the bedroom door opened and she stepped out.

Chloe’s swimsuit wasn’t particularly skimpy, but it was red, and it showed off her fantastic body. It reminded me of the time we had gone to a pool party back when we were neighbors. My ex-girlfriend kept giving me crap about being under the water for most of the gathering. What she didn’t know was that I had a hard-on almost the whole time from seeing Chloe in a bikini.

I felt like a dirty dog at the time, but Tracy was the one to reap the rewards later. When we came home that night, I fucked her brains out. Of course, that hadn’t preventedherfrom eventually straying and screwing our other neighbor.

Now, with no girlfriend, my dick didn’t have any guilt about letting itself be known that it wanted to have sex with Chloe, and I had to lower the towels to cover my crotch.

“You ready to make a run for it?” I asked her. Thankfully, my voice didn’t give away my arousal.

She smiled nervously. “I think so. But maybe you should give me one of those to wrap around myself until we get there.”

Her eyes were on the beach towels in my hand, and my stupid cock jerked against my lower abdomen.

Knock it off, asshole. She’s not looking at you.

Great. Now, I was talking to my penis in my head.

I pulled one towel away to hand to her while making sure I kept the other in place. “Here you go.”

As she unfolded it and wrapped it around her shoulders, I turned my back to her and went for the sliding glass door. I opened it and rushed to the hot tub, throwing the towel to hang over the railing along with my T-shirt I had pulled off. Then, I slid under the hot water.
