§ Chapter Twelve §

If Jake found her admission startling, he didn't say a word, but swam away from her. She watched his arms cleave the water as he circled back toward her. He rested his elbow on the pool edge beside her thighs.

Gently, he pulled her close, urged her face down to his. Their mouths met, and Tye slid into the water against him, moved down his water slick body, her leg twining with his. It felt good, until her residual limb bumped against him with the movement of the water. Tye felt her eyes widen in shock. Her gaze latched on Jake’s face as she tried to gauge his reaction. Would he show distaste, revulsion?

Jake ran a fingertip down her nose, his mouth curving slightly in a smile. "When I'm with you, Tye, we're on equal ground. I feel as inexperienced as any kid."

Tye licked her lips, trying to breathe normally. She felt her spirits lift. He hadn’t pulled away from her, her leg. She wound her arms around his neck, feeling the pool water push her up against him. The contact was her undoing. She needed more than his water-cool skin against hers. She had missed him the last two weeks. A part of her yearned for him. The feeling had grown steadily, but she had determinedly filled the hours, riding, walking, exercising, all the while knowing she didn't want to stay away from him. All the while knowing she would soon be leaving.

"Maybe we should be inexperienced together," she whispered, using two fingers to push the hair from his eyes. She reveled in her freedom to touch him. It might not last, this freedom, but it felt wonderful in this moment.

Without a word Jake put his hands on her hips and pulled her through the water with him, to the opposite side of the pool. At the ladder, he lifted her out, then followed, pulling her upright. His hard, muscled arms carried her to the cushioned chaise in the shadows and he let her stand once more.

Lifting the cushions, he positioned them on the pool deck, then helped her sit on the cushions. Knowing Jake watched her, Tye crossed her arms and very slowly slid one bathing suit strap down, then the other. She felt incredibly sexy. For the first time since her accident, she felt unselfconscious about her body and the changes it had been through.

Jake knelt beside her, one hand reaching forward as almost reverently, it seemed, he cupped her breasts. His head moved closer and she caught the glint of his eyes, his face so serious, before his hot mouth dropped to her skin, his lips moving to heat her water-cool flesh. The sensation of his hot mouth on her skin was erotic, mind blowing. Tye cupped the back of his head. Feverishly, her fingers traced the bones of his skull, sensitive to the silky texture of his hair. She dropped her head back, concentrating on the sensation of Jake's mouth. Jags of awareness vibrated through her, one after the other.
