Chapter Twenty-Two

The water always mocked her, its caress over her skin creepy and taunting. Remi had to grit her teeth through showers, suffering beatings as a young one for not being clean. No matter that water brought life, to her it was a jeering reminder . . . pain and loss. That’s what water brought.

She swam the laps though, arms slicing and retreating through the warm liquid, avoiding thoughts of the past. How long she stayed at it, she didn’t know, but her neck prickled and awareness had her stopping at the far end of the pool.

Rand.

He had on swim trunks, upper body gloriously naked. She sucked in air and found her throat locked as she gazed at him. He had such broad shoulders that flowed into a heavily sculpted chest and tapered to a trim waist. His chest was devoid of hair, but a tiny path of silky darkness began at his bellybutton and trailed down beneath the trunks.

She tried to swallow. He was a magnificent man in all ways. His face was hard but planed perfectly, the small cleft in his chin a delight to stroke her tongue over.

She twisted and pulled her foot free, and then swam deeper, blood pumping furiously as she moved farther from the surface, from air and life. He followed her, and when she could go no farther, she turned and looked up.

His gaze burned her. Then he smiled and reached for her. She didn’t question herself when she took his hand, and he pulled their bodies flush. His head descended and she raised hers, mouths met and tongues danced. Hearts raced, and Remi felt something in the caress of the water she’d never felt before. Desire.

He kicked up and off the bottom, taking her to the surface with him. He allowed her one great breath before he dove into her mouth again and pushed her against her wall of the pool. He aligned their pelvises and pushed against her, his flesh hard and promising ecstasy.
