Chapter Fifteen

My body soaked up the sun's warm rays while I relaxed on a float in the middle of the large pool. I was wearing my red bikini and I had coated myself with sunscreen. Technically, I didn't need to protect my skin since I had the ability to heal quickly if I did get sunburned, but I actually enjoyed the smell of the lotion. Besides, I needed to fit in with everyone else, even if only by appearances. I dipped my hands into the pool and splashed water on my legs to cool down a bit. My newly painted rose-colored toenails sparkled in the sunlight. I smiled. Yeah, this was nice. And if I had an alcoholic beverage in hand, I would feel like a queen.

Keeping my hands in the pool, I leaned back and rested my head on the float. The spa treatment I had scheduled was in a few hours, leaving me with plenty of time to relax and bronze before my mud bath and massage.

"Mind if I join you?" The familiar voice came from behind me.

I twisted my head to face Alan. "What are you doing here?" I held my hand above my eyes to protect them from the sun's glare. "I thought you were playing golf."

He stood near the edge of the pool. "We were in the middle of our second round when Gabe called me. It gave me the perfect opportunity to tell Ryan and Jeremy I had to leave." He squatted and dipped his hand in the water.

I almost laughed. "You ditched them?"

"When I left, they were having a good time." He stood. "Mind if I join you?"

Before I could respond, he lifted his shirt over his head then dropped it on the ground. His large, tattooed chest hypnotized me and I couldn't look away. The black design ran down the length of his torso and underneath his jeans.

I swallowed and finally answered him. "Sure. Yeah. Why not?"

He grinned and unzipped his pants. The jeans fell from his legs to his ankles. Beefy muscles in his calves and thighs were a sight to behold. Wearing only dark blue boxers, he dove into the pool.

I sat upright on my float and flung my legs over the sides as the wave he'd made rippled toward me. My pulse quickened with the realization I was in a bikini and he had on a pair of thin cotton shorts. Sure, my goods were covered, but I still felt naked and uncomfortable.

I glanced around. Not a soul was in sight. Of the eight pools on the premises, I selected the most isolated one for peace and quiet. I hadn't expected a werewolf to show up in his undies.

Alan's head popped above the water. He ran his hands over his scalp, pushing his drenched hair from his face. "This feels good."

I slid off the float and held my breath as I went under. The cool water soothed my hot skin. Swaying my arms, I pushed my head above the surface.
