Chapter 7

Levi floated on his back which gave her too good a view of his chest and shoulders. She swallowed. She’d known it. Levi without his shirt was a bad thing. ‘Deliciously cool and I feel one hundred percent better than I did before I got in,’ he said lazily.

His hair was plastered to his head and droplets ran down his strong chin and dripped onto his chest and she couldn’t help comparing him to Brad. Poor Brad.

Levi had corded bulk, not just smooth skin, and the ripples and dips of his twelve pack made even Smiley look like a kid. Her stomach knotted and she looked away. She’d never seen such a discreetly muscular man in her life and no matter how much she tried to lie to herself she couldn’t help but find him powerfully attractive.

If she got in she could float with her face away from him, whereas it would look silly for her to turn her back now, and he’d already seen her bra.

‘Turn around, then.’ She waited until his water speckled back teased her again and then hurriedly stripped off her shoes and socks and trousers, and draped her shirt close to the edge where she could get it as soon as she left the water.

She eased herself down on her bottom, she’d been bruised before by the piled rocks getting into pools, and local knowledge suggested to slide in from a low height.

The bottom of the pool would only be waist height if she were to stand but deep enough to hide under and oh so cool and wonderful after the distance they’d walked in the heat this morning.

The water eddied up her legs and thighs with delicious coolness, her breath sucked in as the water passed her stomach and breasts, and the final shiver as she submerged her shoulders until only her nose and eyes were showing. Not much for him to look at.

She surfaced her mouth again, enough to say, ‘I’m in,’ and then sank bank to nose level.

‘You sure you can breathe?’ His eyes laughed at her and his mouth curved in that killer smile she’d known would be lethal. Now he had to pull that one out of his arsenal. Damn him.

‘What happens if I make a wave?’ He crossed his hands and threatened to ripple the water and sink her.

She tried to imagine him as a scrubby toddler, as Odette’s teasing brother, as anything but the hunk across from her. She pulled her mouth out of the water. ‘Some boys never grow up. Once a bully always a bully. I bet you were the head of the pack at school. One of those boys who tell everyone else what to do.’

They’d floated quite close now, she on her front using her hands along the bottom in the shallow places to drift around the pool. The brilliant idea of maintaining distance and turning her back had been forgotten as she waited, surprisingly intrigued for him to answer.

A shadow passed his face.
