***

Diving downward through the air and into the water, I immerse myself in the cool, soft waves, becoming one with the depth of my sanctuary. With each breath I take, my body welcomes the inner power to kick my legs and pull my arms with each timely stroke. The lights underneath give off rays of light purples, whites, and blues, as I glide underneath the water. Time stands still as I silently move.

I don’t push myself. I swim with ease for the pure enjoyment and stress relief of it. I get lost in my thoughts as I do what I love, which is why I don’t hear when someone else enters the aquatic center. It’s not until I come up for air and slide my goggles up that I see Trey standing at the edge.

I rub the shock from my eyes. “What are you doing here, Trey?”

It’s after six in the morning, according to the clock hanging on the wall. I’ve been here alone since the aquatic center opened an hour ago.

“The pool is open, isn’t it?” He’s in swim trunks and holding a towel.

I nod, taking in his physique. It’s the second time I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him shirtless. His muscles are carved deep, shoulders broad, defined thighs that quicken my pulse at the thought of them holding my body tight between them. He’s beautifully proportioned.

“I suppose, yes.”

I push back and begin a light backstroke away from him.

The sound of splashing water erupts. I try to not pay him any attention, letting him swim freely, but out of the corner of my eye I see him coming up to my left, doing the same stroke. I push faster, but he meets my pace. It’s not long before we’re racing to the end and diving under to come back up and head to the other end of the pool. My breathing picks up, narrowing in on my surroundings, feeling the pool and letting the water ingest me.

Coming to the end, I touch the wall a nanosecond sooner. I turn to face him. His smile is wide. He looks so young and carefree.

“Damn, that felt good,” he pants, not hiding his wide grin.

“What? Losing?” My eyes playfully tease him.

“Nah,” he runs his hand over his face and up through his hair. “The rush.”

My smile lights my own face.

“Want to go again?” he challenges.

I soak him in. Really take him in. Every line on his face, the small sunspots along his shoulders, pecs that beg to be touched, and lips that yearn for mine. His dimples break through and our eyes lock.

I don’t answer him. Instead, I ask, “Did you go out for drinks last night?” I try my best to pass the question off casually. This only gets me a chuckle from him.

“Yes, I did. But, before you say or ask anything else, no, I did not stay long and yes, I went home alone.”

My eyes go wide. “Oh, I wasn’t assuming you’d go home with any-”

He cuts me. “Did you?”

“Did I what? Go home with someone?”

He laughs.
