JARED

Agorgeous blonde in a skimpy two-piece bathing suit was climbing out of the Blackbear Bluff Inn swimming pool. And I was here for it.

I played it cool, continuing my walk toward the inn’s front entrance. But out of the corner of my eye, I was watching.

And she was watching me.

I saw her stop, towel held in front of that curvalicious body, and stare at me as I crossed the small parking lot. The entire area between Scoreboard Bar and Grill and the inn was about as big as the half acre of land my cabin set on. Yet somehow, they’d managed to squeeze in a swimming pool and parking lot.

“It’s closed,” she called out.

Those two words stopped my footsteps. What was closed? The inn? Impossible. The front office was open twenty-four hours a day, year-round.

“The person working there had to step away,” she said. “There’s a sign. Thought I’d save you some steps.”

Then, as if to dismiss me, she shrugged and turned her back to me. She tossed her towel aside, took three steps, and dove into the pool.

At that point, a normal person would leave. They’d just hop into their vehicle and move on with their life. But my vehicle was a motorcycle, and it was parked all the way over in the bar parking lot. My plan had just been to pop over here to run this errand for Scoreboard’s bartender. I hadn’t planned on getting waylaid by a soaking-wet beauty.

Or getting laid at all.

“That’s okay,” I said to nobody in particular.

With all the splashing, she wouldn’t have been able to hear me even if her head was above water. I looked around, confirmed nobody was watching, and started toward the wrought iron fencing that surrounded the pool. I’d just wait here patiently until she finished these laps, and then I’d leave this envelope with her.

Maybe she sensed I was watching her. Suddenly, after the fourth lap, she came to a stop at my end of the pool. She crossed her arms in front of her on the concrete and lifted her body upward just a little, staring at me. That was when I got a better look at her.

She was even more beautiful from this distance. Her nose and cheeks were red, making me wonder if she’d gotten a little too much sun. But it was those big, bright green eyes that really caught my attention. They were accentuated by a pair of plump, cherry-red lips.

She chewed on the bottom one as she seemed to study me. “It’s locked.” She nodded toward the front entrance to the inn before shifting her gaze back to me. “I tried to open it. The sign says he’ll be back at two. I can’t check in, so I thought I’d go for a swim.”

“So, you broke into the hotel pool.”

I didn’t bother to stop the sly grin that spread over my face. But her expression hardened, and I could tell she was taking the comment way too seriously.

“I have to do something to kill the time until he returns.” She gestured toward the parking lot. “Besides, it’s a hot day. My plan was to go swimming as soon as I checked in.”

I lifted my hands in mock surrender. “Hey, you don’t have to defend yourself to me. I’m all for breaking rules. In fact, if I had a pair of swim trunks with me, I’d probably jump in with you. Did you just happen to have your swimsuit on?”

It was probably none of my business, but I couldn’t help asking. The image of her changing out of her swimsuit in her car in this parking lot flashed through my mind. My cock immediately stirred to life. What I wouldn’t give to have been crossing the parking lot around the time she removed her top. Or maybe she took it all off, then changed into the bathing suit. In that case, I would have loved to have passed by just as she got everything off and was shimmying that pink bathing suit bottom over her knees and up those luscious thighs.

“I wore it, along with my cover-up to drive here.” She gestured toward the chair. “I drove all the way from Roanoke this morning. My goal was to check in and head straight to the pool. I even brought my own beach towel.”

She’d driven all the way here in this two-piece bathing suit with a cover-up. That meant she hadn’t worn a bra. For some reason, that imagery fascinated me almost as much as her changing in the parking lot. I pictured myself sitting in the passenger seat, sliding my hand inside her bathing suit bottom as she drove, trying to keep her focus on the road. Or maybe she’d be the passenger, free to do nothing but enjoy the feel of my fingers sliding into her warm, slick pussy.

“Zoey Murdock,” she said.

Placing both hands, palms down on the concrete ledge of the pool, she lifted herself out. She twisted around to a seated position, then pulled her feet out before standing. Somehow, she managed to make the whole thing look graceful while I stood there, gaping like a horny teenager.

Zoey Murdock. That must be her name. The polite thing to do now was to give her my name—preferably before she turned and saw me gawking at her.

“Jared Knox,” I said.

I deliberately scanned the parking lot beyond the pool as I answered, but out of the corner of my eye, I watched her stroll over to grab her towel. Everything about her appealed to me—her body, the way she moved, the way she talked. This was the woman I’d been looking for all my life.

The thought slammed into me, and I squirmed a little. Where had that come from? I hadn’t been looking for a woman for anything more than a quick bang. Lifelong commitments were for wusses.
