I took off my shirt and waited while she put on sunscreen and offered to spray my back. I would have preferred she use her hands to smooth lotion over me, but the spray was quicker. When we were ready, I took her hand and led her onto the diving ledge at the back of the boat. “So, we just jump?”
“You can, or dive.”
She let go of my hand and executed a perfect dive into the water. Her form was smooth. I dove in after her, eager to see how well she could swim. She emerged on the surface, swimming a perfect freestyle.
When she eased up, I stopped alongside her. “Were you on the swim team?”
Gia smiled. “For a few summers. I liked the competitions.”
“You’re a good swimmer.” I drew her into my body.
She wrapped her legs around my waist and tightened her arms around her neck. “I feel a little rusty, but it’s coming back to me.”
I loved that she enjoyed swimming. I had a feeling most of the women I’d been with would have stayed on deck, sunbathing while I brought them food. None of them would have dived off the back.
She smiled down at me, so effortlessly filled with joy. It was a moment I wanted to remember forever.
She lowered her mouth to mine and said, “Thank you for inviting me.”
Her appreciation washed over me.
“Any time, sweetheart.”
We kissed in the water until I couldn’t keep us afloat anymore, and then we swam for a bit, racing each other to a buoy and back to the boat. On the last race, she pulled ahead of me, and instead of increasing my speed to beat her, I dove underwater and snagged her ankle, pulling her to me.
She gasped. “What are you doing?”
“Capturing you.”
She arched a brow, then wiggled away from me and dove underwater. I easily followed her as she darted here and there, trying to lose me. But I was a strong swimmer too, and whenever she came to the surface, she couldn’t stop laughing. It greatly reduced her ability to escape me.
I finally got her, wrapping my arms around her. “I’ve got you now.”
“What are you going to do with me?”
I bit her earlobe and tugged as a shiver ran through her body. “I’m going to keep you captive on my boat.”
She laughed. “I might like that.”
I ran my nose over her neck. “You’re supposed to be scared of me.”
She tipped her head, giving me more access to her skin. “But it sounds so enticing.”
I bit her neck, and she melted into my arms. I swam with her over to the diving platform, allowing her to pull herself out, and then I followed. Water fell from us as we kissed, stumbling our way down below, where we finally landed on the bed. I didn’t care that we were wet or that the bedding would be soaked.
All I could think about was her mouth and her wet skin. Chasing her in the water brought out this primal need in me to claim her for my own. All the talk about capturing her was real when I thought about how elusive it felt to be with her. I wanted to grab on to her with both hands and hold on tight, never letting her go.
I untied her top and then her bottoms, letting her suit fall away. I took a few seconds to take her in, her body beaded with water, her nipples hard points. “So beautiful.”
She reared up, kissing my chest. “Silas, I need you.” Then she attempted to shove my swim trunks down. They were wet and wouldn’t budge, so I stepped off the bed to do it for her.
I loved that we’d forgone condoms a long time ago. I didn’t need to stop to find one or worry about having one. Everything with her flowed naturally from one step to the next.
I kneeled on the bed, kissing her and touching every inch of her, kneading her breasts, tweaking her nipples, and finally sinking my fingers inside her.
She widened her legs in an open invitation for me to sink inside her. But I held back.
“Silas, please, let go. I need you.”
