“This is romantic.”
“You deserve it.”
He began stripping off his clothes, again revealing his ripped chest and impressively muscular physique—a form sculpted by his days playing rugby.
The area was softly lit, the height of the walls ensuring no one could spy on us. Almost two weeks ago he’d hosted a party on the lawn—the day I’d been introduced to his parents.
The same day when we’d unwittingly revealed our magnetism.
I remembered how we’d almost kissed.
So many kisses had followed since—our affection was uncontainable.
Instinctively, my gaze rose to the roof. He’d admitted that, at the same party, he’d almost jumped from the highest point into his pool. Gauging it, I wanted to believe he’d have made it safely into the deep end. Glad Cameron had stopped us from finding out.
Henry had a vulnerable side, and I adored deciphering every part and facet of him. Naked now, he descended the steps into the bubbling Jacuzzi, slowly lowering himself into the blue swirling water.
I untied my bathrobe and opened it so he could view my naked body.
His eyes devoured me hungrily.
I shrugged the robe off my shoulders, posing seductively as it slipped down and pooled at my feet. “Like this?”
“Exactly like that.”
I arched a brow suggestively. “What comes next in this fantasy of yours?”
He held out his hand, beckoning for me to join him.
Heated bubbling water enveloped me as I sunk into the hot Jacuzzi, surrounded by pure luxury, feeling grateful for every minute spent with Henry.
As he pulled me toward him, I admired his kissable mouth, savoring the sight of his handsome features.
Being with him like this, alone and intimate, was a rare privilege.
With his chest submerged in the swirling water, Henry seemed just as content.
“The staff doesn’t arrive for hours,” he reassured me.
“We can do anything we want.”
“Anything.” He reached up to cup my face with strong hands, his mouth closing in on mine. That first shock of our tongues touching sparked arousal, meaningful and passionate.
He crushed me to him and my legs wrapped around his waist easily in the buoyancy of the water. I threw my head back in surprised laughter as he spun me around and pressed me against the rounded tile wall.
“You’re trapped,” he said gruffly.
“Totally.”
“I’m going to have to punish you for losing your rucksack.”
“You left yours behind.”
“I’m going to punish you for that, too.”
“How is that one my fault?”
“I don’t have to have a good reason to punish you.”
