He grumbled but did as I asked. After slipping on flip-flops, we took the elevator to the correct floor and then walked outside to the adults-only pool.
There were a few groups of people milling about but not many. The pool was bigger than I’d expected, in a large L shape, and few were at the deep end.
We found some empty chairs, and after ditching our stuff, I went to the edge of the deep end. I should just jump in, but I wanted to tease West a little. So I raised my arms over my head, leaned one way and then the other, before bending over to touch my toes, as if stretching. West’s deep growl caressed my skin.
“Are you trying to kill me, woman?”
I stood and peeked over my shoulder. "Maybe. It’s kind of fun.”
His voice went even lower. “I think someone needs a taste of her own medicine.”
He took a step toward me, and I said, “Well, if you want your revenge, you have to catch me first.”
I dove into the pool and swam far away. When I surfaced, I searched for West but couldn’t find him.
Then a familiar voice said behind me, “Gotcha,” and I was pulled under the water.
West didn’t hold me down but let me up. I turned, splashed him, and said, “Unfair.”
The man looked so damn smug. “How? It’s not my fault you didn’t look behind you. And that’s mild considering you were trying to seduce me in plain sight of like ten people.”
“Seducing, huh?”
I batted my eyelashes at him, and he blinked. Taking advantage of his surprise, I placed my hands on his shoulders and tried to push him down. Since the water was deeper than I was tall, I didn’t have much leverage, though, and West barely bobbed. He laughed, the sound deep and almost rusty. And damn, I wanted to make him do it again.
Before I could make my next move, West pulled me close and kissed me.
Kissing and staying afloat was difficult, but soon he was devouring my mouth, grabbing my butt, and despite the cool water, my body was on fire.
I’d never had sex in a pool, but I wondered what it might be like. In my backyard, of course. Not here.
At some point, West must’ve guided us to the shallow end because his shoulders were above the water, and I had my legs wrapped around his waist. Just I started rubbing against his hard cock, he pulled back but kept a possessive hand on my ass. “None of that. It’s an adults-only pool but not an X-rated one.”
I stuck out my tongue. “You’re no fun.”
West laughed again, and I decided to play dirty. I moved a hand down between our bodies until I could stroke his dick through his trunks. West sucked in a breath. “Stop, Emmy. I don’t want to be kicked out of the hotel for coming in the pool.”
I stilled my hand and removed it. Seeing as our make-out session was over, I decided to get even with him while he was distracted.
So I unwrapped myself from his body, dove down—the water was still five feet deep—and I tugged at his ankles.
He slid into the water, and I swam away. When I surfaced, I saw a very tall, very wet, and very irritated West not too far behind me.
“I see how it is. This means war, Emmy.”
He came after me, and I squealed. For the next five or ten minutes, we each tried to catch and dunk each other.
Eventually, we ended up in the shallow end, with no one around, and West lifted me and settled me on the side of the pool. He stepped between my legs, cupped my cheek, and stroked my skin.
I loved the mixture of heat, amusement, and happiness in his gaze. It was hard to believe that at one time he’d only glared at me.
When he was relaxed and temporarily free of his worries, he looked so much younger. It made me wonder if he’d ever had someone to simply have fun with. Oh, of course he had fun with his children. But sometimes it was nice to tease and banter with someone closer to your age.
For a second, I wanted to be that person. The one who could make the usually scowling, growling man smile and laugh.
Don’t go there.
Needing a distraction, I placed my hand on his chest, running my fingers through his chest hair, and reveled in his head and hard muscles.
