He groaned. “Yes.” He turned around and pushed me onto the daybed, pinning me down with his body, and kissed me. I put my knees up and opened my legs wide to rub against him. He shuddered and kissed down my body until his tongue was licking the swollen nub between my legs.

I moaned, my fingers gripping my hair and pushing it back. “Hank.”

Then he was inside me again, our joined bodies sliding together, the sensation of him bare inside me decadent. We stared into each other’s eyes, his light brown ones deep and penetrating. There was just something about that man that shot to the core of me. We took our time, slowing down enough to kiss while our hands explored each other’s bodies.

The inside of the cabana was hot even with the fan and mister going. We were sweaty and musky when we came. I watched Hank as the tension left his face.

After I caught my breath, I kissed his cheek. “Come on, handsome. Time for a swim.”

“Okay,” he said. He opened one eye to stare at me. “Please don’t go out there with your top off. I want to relax.”

“Fine. But it’s not like a bikini top is much different.”

“It is.”

I tidied up myself and put my suit back on. It still didn’t seem real that he was there, grabbing a bottle of water from the ice chest, his blue shorts hanging off his hips in a way that had me wondering if I was ready to leave the cabana.

“Your hair is different,” he said, coming over and tucking one side behind my ear. “I like it.”

“And I like you.” I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him lightly on the mouth, his facial hair soft and a little ticklish. “Come for a swim, before I get any more ideas about what to do with you.”

One side of his mouth cocked up in a grin. “You are a horny little rabbit, aren’t you?”

My nipples hardened and I leaned into him. He laughed, swatted my bottom, then pulled me out of the cabana and over to an outdoor shower close by.

We swam the length of the Venus pool, side by side, the cool shaded water refreshing in the intense heat. I climbedonto his back and held on laughing when he tried to buck me off. He grabbed my legs, pinning them to his chest then surging up, pushing me back so I flew across the water and cannon-balled down. Most of the other people lounging around the pool were older and too dignified to do anything more than wade in occasionally to cool down. They watched us splashing and dunking each other with indulgent smiles.

When I saw Amber walk in, holding Mario’s hand, I swam toward the cabana and then propped myself out of the pool.

“Hey,” Amber said, “sorry to disappear for so long.” She smiled guiltily.

“I was lost,” said Mario, “and needed her help, especially with getting ready for the pool.”

Amber shoved his shoulder, her nose and ears a little red. They were still holding hands.

“I’ve been mighty fine, and my friend Hank arrived.” I pointed at him out in the water floating on his back. “What do you think about ordering dinner here, and eating poolside? Or would you rather go out somewhere?”

“Here sounds good to me,” said Amber while she glanced at Mario, who nodded. “How did the whole day go by already? I haven’t read more than a chapter in my book.”

“What are you reading?” asked Mario.

“Oh, just a fun book—nothing you’d have seen before.”

“It has a bare-chested kilted Scottish guy on the cover making out with a redhead,” I said, grinning when Amber glared at me.

Mario’s mouth made an O. “I want it when you’re done.”

“No way.”

A server came by and I put in a big dinner order for Hank and I, ruthlessly not consulting him, plus appetizers for everyone, dessert and wine. Amber and Mario wandered into the cabana as I slid into the pool. I swam over to Hankand put an arm around his chest as he continued floating on his back.

“You okay?” I kissed his shoulder.

“I don’t know. I’m trying to relax but I feel like Sisyphus letting go of that boulder and watching it roll back down the mountain.”

“Sisyphus should have done that a long time ago.” I sighed. “What am I gonna do with you?”

His mouth twitched up. “You’ll think of something.”
