Chapter 4

Cooper

I’m lying on the rug in front of the fire, brain fuzzy from the best sex I’ve had in too long to remember.

Firelight flickers over her creamy skin as she lies beside me trying to catch her breath.

If I were anyone else, this would be the perfect start to a relationship. But she’s only here for a few days, and even if I wanted to pursue her or this, I can’t.

Not yet anyway.

But that doesn’t mean I can’t make the most of her company while I have her around.

I’m itching to repeat this, anyway I can. And the idea of seeing her dripping wet is enough to make me thrown caution to the wind. “So, you didn’t want to go to the hot pools?

She lets out a throaty laugh and turns on her side to face me. “Well, I did, but—”

I pull her in closer. “No buts. If you want to go, I’ll take you.”

Her forehead knots. “How?”

I ease away from her, and grin. “The pools are half a mile away. There’s a track we can drive down.”

She blows out a breath and shrugs. “I don’t know. To be honest it’s getting late. I should probably think about getting back to town.”

My lips twitch. “Sure. Or you could stay here the night.”

Her eyebrow lifts, and she frowns slightly. “Hmm. I dunno. I’ll miss Maggie’s coffee.”

At the tease in her voice, I pull myself up and lean on my elbow so I can stare down at her. “She does make great coffee. But mine is better.”

She snorts a laugh but when I lean over to kiss her, she responds eagerly. “Okay. If you promise to bring me coffee in bed, I’ll stay.”

I chuckle and plant another kiss on her soft lips. “Get dressed. I’ll go put the lights on and unlock the gate.”

Her eyes widen. “From here?”

I grin and help her to her feet, taking the time to admire the slope of her full breasts and the curve of her hips as she stands in the firelight. “Yeah. I had a security system installed a few months back when too many tourists seem to think it was open to the public. More as a security measure. But I can access it remotely.”

She frowns as she grabs her shirt and hugs it to her body. “You’re full of surprises.”

I reach down and grab my jeans. “Good surprises I hope?”

Her brow furrows as she shrugs her shirt over her head. “So far.”

My chest tightens a little, but I’m not about to delve into anything too personal. And I’m pretty sure she feels the same way, so I just dress as fast as I can.

When she’s wearing her t-shirt and shorts, minus her underwear, I help her hobble down the hallway, and into the garage.

She leans her hip against my truck and watches me as I punch in a few commands to the panel I use for the hot pools.

“You have another one of those behind the bar don’t you?”

I nod and make sure the gate is unlocked before I open the passenger door for her. “I keep this one out here so the caretaker can use it without going inside the house.”

When she’s settled in the front seat, I skirt the vehicle and jump in behind the wheel.

I catch her looking at me, a question on her lips as I turn the engine over. “You don’t trust him?”

I chuckle at that remark and send her a pointed look. “It’s not about trust. It’s about privacy. And I’d rather keep some things under lock and key.”

She nods. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to pry. Just tell me to mind my own business. I won’t take offense.”

I smile and ease the truck towards the garage door. “Tell you what. How about we keep conversation to a minimum and just enjoy each other’s company?”

She looks so relieved I know she's hiding even more than I am. “I’m so glad you feel that way. My life is already way too complicated.”

I should feel relieved she wants to keep this purely physical, but there’s a gnawing feeling in my gut that lets me know watching her leave is going to be harder than I first thought.

I’m still thinking about what she’s hiding when we make it to the entrance, and she walks barefoot through the gates of the pools.

Steam is rising mingling with the blue lights I installed around the rocks. While she's taking everything in, I leave her looking at the water while I retrieve a couple of towels.

I toss them beside the steps and strip off before I offer my hand. “Your turn.”

She gives me a saucy smile then slowly removes her shorts and t-shirt. I growl low as I see her nipples harden in the frigid night air.

With her fingers laced into mine, I help her down the steps to my private pool and watch with satisfaction as she sinks down to sit on the ledge.

She sighs contentedly and leans her head back on the rock. While she’s relaxing, I take a seat beside her and slide my hand up her bare thigh. “Wow. You really have all the moves,” she says, eyes still closed.

My fingers creep up further as I lean in to kiss her neck. “How so?”

She giggles as I nibble her earlobe. “Oh, come on. You rescued me, then there's the Jazz, the fire and the whiskey. And now a private hot pool? I’ll bet you do this with women all the time.”

I jerk back and frown hard at her. “Would that bother you if I did?”

She shrugs lightly, but even through the steam, I can see a tiny spark of interest. “Maybe. A little.”

I smile and trail my fingers further up her leg. “Well, you don’t need to worry. I don’t have time. But when the opportunity arises, I make the most of it.”

When she doesn’t stop me, I push her legs open and finger her clit. She moans softly, and my cock starts to tingle.

I can still feel her lips around my cock as she sucked me until I was ready to come in her perfect little mouth.

I slide another hand around her shoulders, and she shifts her weight so I rub her nipple while I finger her.

She leans against me, her nipple getting hard even in the warm water. When I can feel her growing moist, I start to kiss her neck until she turns to kiss me.

Her tongue flicking in my mouth is enough to make my cock stiffen even further.

I rub her pussy, enjoying the way her back is arching making her tits appear above the waterline.

When I can feel her creaming again, I grab her hand and place it on my cock. She gets the idea and while we kiss, her hands coil around my shaft.

She strokes my cock, water amplifying the sensations as I feel her starting to get closer to coming.

I keep kissing her, rubbing her nipple, and her pussy until she’s gasping in my mouth and cursing at how good it feels.

When she’s come, I grab her around the hips and move her so she’s sitting on me.

She’s so fucking wet my cock slips inside her without me needing to guide it. With my hands on her hips, she grips me around the neck, rocking back and forth, her nipples at my mouth.

“I want you to fuck me from behind,” she pants.

At the desperation on her face, I slide out from under her and spin her around bending her over slightly, so she’s pressed against the side of the pool.

I slide my hands around her waist and push my cock into her again. I thrust harder, water splashing around us, as I get closer to another come.

But I want her to enjoy it as much as I am, and even though she’s moaning, I want to make her scream again.

Since I can’t reach her pussy, I whisper in her ear as I keep pounding her. “Finger yourself. Come for me.”

She whimpers, but I see her hand shift, and when I check, I can feel her forearm moving as she rubs.

I know I won’t hold out my longer, but the idea of missing out on seeing her finger herself is too much.

I pull out and lift her from the water so she’s sitting on the edge. She looks at me like I’m a crazy person and shakes her head. “What are you doing?”

“Finger yourself again. I want to watch you.”

Her eyebrows rise, but a smile flickers at her lips and she opens her legs. For whatever reason, she decides to put on a little show for me.

She places her finger in her mouth and slowly starts to suck it as her other hand creeps closer to her pussy.

I step back, enjoying the view as she rubs her clit all the while looking at me while she sucks and licks her finger like it’s my cock.

Jizz is leaching from my tip as her breathing starts to increase. In the cold night air, her nipples are rock hard, and I know if I wrapped my hand around my cock, I’d be coming within seconds.

I groan as she takes the finger she was sucking and beckons to me. “Seen enough?”

I shake my head. “I want to see you come.”

She narrows her eyes and flicks her tongue over her lip. “Then make me.”

At the tease in her voice and my cock about to explode, I shift forward, kneel on the stone seat and pick up where her finger left off.

I lick, tasting her, gripping her thighs until she starts to shake, and I can feel her quivering in my mouth. “I’m coming, I’m coming,” she pants.

I wait until she’s stilled before I swipe my mouth and pull her back into the water.

This time she wraps her legs around my waist and I push my cock inside her and don’t quit pounding her until I’m screaming just as loud as she is.

When I’ve come, I collapse onto the seat and take a few minutes to recover from the exertion in the hot water.

She doesn’t say anything for a long time, just lets me wrap my arm around her again and looks up at the stars above us.

“That was incredible. Like really. Really incredible,” she says.

I chuckle, an enormous amount of pride building at how satiated she seems.

We sit looking at the sky until she starts to yawn, and I know we both need to get some sleep.

I press a kiss to her forehead. “Come on. It’s getting late.”

She sighs heavily. “You’re right. But this was way better than advertised.”

I laugh as I help her up the stairs, admiring her ass as she climbs out ahead of me.

Since she’s now thoroughly satisfied, and I got my wish of seeing her dripping wet, I wrap a towel around her shoulders. “How’s the knee?”

She smiles coyly. “Great. But I’m about dead on my feet.”

I smile and dry off as quick as I can as she smothers yawns. I’m more than a little jaded myself, so I lock up and get her back in the truck.

She leans her head back and sighs wearily. “Thanks. I needed that.”

I’m not sure whether she’s talking about the soak or the sex, but either way, it fills me with way too much pleasure that I was able to make her happy.

And all the way back to the house, and into my bedroom, I find myself wishing I could give her more than I can.
