“Mmmm.”
Her low moan, still half-asleep, spurred him on. He kissed her again, stroking her hair, gently rousing her.When her eyes finally opened, lazy and half-lidded, he pulled back to look down at her properly.
“Hey,” she whispered, catching her bottom lip between her teeth.
“I was going for theshe’s expecting mevibe rather than the being molested in your own yard kind of vibe,” he said, suddenly wondering if he’d pushed things too far now that she was beneath him and looking vulnerable in her string bikini and he was fully clothed.
“Shut up and kiss me again,” she mumbled, grabbing the back of his head and forcing him back down again.
Sam didn’t need to be told twice. He braced himself with his hands above her head, pushing down on his elbows. She squealed when his belt buckle touched her bare stomach, wriggling beneath him, fingers at his shoulders, legs wrapping around his back.
“You’re trouble,” he muttered as she fought to unbutton his shirt.
“Just trying to get my money’s worth,” she said, laughing, breathless as she tried to flip them around, only the lounger was too small.
“Shit!” Sam swore as he felt the furniture go beneath them, the chair tipping as he fell to the concrete, instinctively keeping his arms wrapped around Mia so she didn’t hit the ground. Instead she landed tight against his chest, rolling slightly once they’d landed.
Her eyes were wide, her hand fluttering to his face.
“Are you okay?” she asked, and he could tell that she was trying not to giggle even though she did look worried.
“I’m just pleased I have my clothes on,” he grumbled, pushing up. “Otherwise I’d have a skinned ass right about now.”
Mia stood, her long limbs almost close enough for himto touch. “I think you should take them off now,” she said, grinning at him and beckoning with her finger. Then she turned, ran the few steps to the edge of the pool, and dove in.
Sam laughed as she disappeared beneath the sparkling, perfect blue water. She was one hell of a woman, and she was driving him crazy. He stripped off, meeting her gaze when her head popped up out of the water, her mouth blowing little bubbles, teasing him. When she scooped a handful of water and splashed it at him, he growled and paused at the edge.
“You asked for it,” he yelled, naked and diving into the pool after her.
“No!” Mia shrieked when he made a grab for her, fingers around her wrist, capturing her and forcing her to turn. She laughed as she struggled, until he had both her wrists in his one hand, behind her back, pressed hard against her.
“I’ve been thinking about you all afternoon,” he told her, slowly releasing her wrists and smiling when those same wrists looped around his neck. Mia folded her legs around his waist, holding on to him, and he walked them both over to the steps at the other end.
“Thinking about what?” she asked, nipping at his earlobe.
Sam caught her chin and kissed her, slowly, forcing himself to enjoy every moment of her mouth against his. Mia ran hands through his wet hair, down his arms and back up his back and over his shoulders. Her touch drove him wild, and he kept his lips locked to hers as he slowly pulled the strings on her bikini. First her top, and then the ties at each hip.
Mia didn’t resist, but she did moan against his mouth,pressing into him. The water lapping against them caused her top to fall down and float away, and Sam waded into shallower water so he could trace down Mia’s chest, mouth dragging across her wet skin, taking her nipple into his mouth and sucking, first softly and then hard.
Mia yanked him back up, one hand fisted in his hair, moving against him, grinding against his erection, the soft fabric of her bikini bottom slowly drifting down and then away. She slipped down on to him as his mouth met hers again, stifling her moan, taking her in the water and loving the feel of her nails against his skin, her wet mouth gliding against his.
Of all the things, he’d never had sex in a pool before, and he doubted he’d ever be able to dive into sparkling blue water without thinking about Mia again.

Mia lay back against the concrete, the hard surface still warm from the hot day, even though the sun had long started to fall, the sky darkening above her, now a dark pink. Her stomach rumbled and Sam’s palm pressed to her skin, softly rubbing.
“I think you need sustenance,” he joked.
“After that work out?” she teased. “I’d say so!”
They’d been lying beside the pool for a while, but she didn’t care. No one usually came by her place unannounced, other than her siblings, and they were all away. Anyone else would go to the front door rather than making their way around the side, and the back part of her property wasn’t visible from the ranch, other than down the path. She’d been careful when she had her landscaping plan done to ensure her pool and patio was entirely private from the main part of the ranch. Besides, nothing had ever felt so good as her skin being warmed by the concrete and anaked Sam by her side, and right now she couldn’t give a damn if someonecouldsee them.
Reluctantly she sat up, seeing Blue sitting by the house. “I really hope he wasn’t watching us before,” she said, smiling down at Sam. She held out her hand and he took it, sitting up beside her.
“I don’t think he’ll care.”
She pushed at him, laughing, and stood up. She looked at her bikini floating in the middle of the pool now, surprised when Sam seemed to read her mind and effortlessly dove in to get it for her. He tossed the bikini out then shook his head, water droplets flying, before hauling himself out. The water dripping over his tanned, muscled body made her heart skip a beat all over again.
