Chapter Four
Humidity hung in the air, giving weight to it.
Naida preferred her basement water world to reflect summertime conditions, which in Pennsylvania meant hot and humid.
Perspiration dampened her forehead and gave her skin a glowing sheen from the light cast by dozens of white, pillar candles. Reflections off the water danced on the ceiling, changing and shifting shape.
The pool wasn’t overly large, but she could get her heart pumping by swimming laps. The glass-smooth surface barely wavered, despite the four ceiling fans currently pushing the warm air around the room.
Her bare feet padded silently across the roughened concrete floor toward her seating area. A large, chaise lounge sofa covered in white, water-repellent fabric sat center stage among four wicker chairs with striped-blue fabric.
Naida glanced back at the serene water that beckoned her. Unable to resist the pull, she undid the tie of her terrycloth robe, allowing the soft, fluffy garment to slide from her body and pool on the floor at her feet.
Naida stood naked. She was alone and had no need for a swimsuit. With a shrug, she strode to the edge and dove high into the air. She entered the water with nary a splash and swam under the surface to the opposite end.
Once there, Naida pushed off the side and began a forward crawl that took her from one end to the other. Again and again, she traversed the length of the pool, feeling free, alive.
She had also felt alive earlier in the day when she had been trapped with Coop. Hell, I felt a hell of a lot—the passion and desire the water nymph side of her craved. He had also brought her a sense of belonging. Something she hadn’t experienced in three years.
And what had she done? She had run. Run like a frightened child. Anger rose from inside her soul, demanding dominance, taking over her being.
Naida dove under the surface again, this time kicking her legs until she reached the bottom. She screamed. Bubble jetted from her mouth, fluttering through the water.
Damn my father for mating with a nymph. Damn them for bringing a sex-freak like me into the world.
That was why Naida had run. Should she and Coop resume their relationship, it would become highly physical. Not overnight, but it would happen. She’d need a lot of sex. It would become essential to her, like the air she breathed when in her human form.
Coop didn’t deserve that. Naida could kill him with the sheer volume of it.
That was the reason she had divorced him. She had been foolish to believe she could be married. Her urges had become too strong. She hadn’t even been able to look at him without wet heat flooding her core, without blood thrumming through her system, without craving his cock to be buried deep inside her.
Naida swam to the steps that led out of the pool. Water sloshed off her as she ascended them.
She paused as she reached the top.
A shiver raced over her wet skin, and her core suddenly clenched.
