Peanut covered her nose with her paws, making them both laugh.Butter let out a low woof, and when he got up, Peanut followed him back into the conservatory.
"Alone at last," Ollie said when they'd gone.
Callie let her gaze travel over him — broad shoulders, lean chest, water streaming down his skin.He was beautiful.She'd known he would be, but seeing him like this, bare and wanting her, made something low in her belly clench.
"Like what you see?"he asked, a hint of vulnerability beneath the teasing.
"Very much."She reached out and traced her fingers down his chest, feeling the muscles tense under her touch."Very, very much."
He closed his hands around her ass and lifted her higher, and she wrapped her legs around him again.The cool water lapped at her back, but everywhere their skin touched was heat.
He raised his eyebrows, and she nodded breathlessly as he positioned himself at her entrance.
"You sure?"he asked gruffly, his voice rough with restraint.
She clung tighter to him, already aching."Yes."
He pressed into her slowly — so slowly — watching her face as he stretched her open.She gasped at the sensation, her body yielding to him inch by inch until he was fully seated inside her.
He held still for a moment, his forehead dropping to hers."Damn, Callie."His voice was barely a whisper."You feel like home."
She cupped his cheek and kissed him, pouring everything she couldn't say into it.
When they started to move, it was slow at first — learning each other, finding their rhythm.The water splashed gently around them with every roll of his hips.She couldn't do much, pinned as she was between his body and the side of the pool, but she didn't need to.He had her.His hands gripped her hips, guiding her onto him as he thrust up to meet her.
"Ollie..."She didn't know what she was asking for, only that she needed more.
"I've got you," he murmured against her neck, and somehow that made her want to cry and come apart all at once.
He gave her more.Deeper.Harder.The water surged around them with every thrust, and she stopped thinking about anything except the way he filled her, the way her body opened for him, the way his breath came ragged against her shoulder.
"Ollie — I'm going to—"
"Yes."His voice came out as a growl."Come for me, Callie."
He drove deep and held there, grinding against her in a way that made stars burst behind her eyes.Every nerve ending in her body pulled tight, her thighs quivering, clamping around him.
"Ollie!"Her orgasm broke over her like a wave, and she clung to him as it dragged her under.
"Callie—" Her release triggered his.He surged into her one last time and held deep, pulsing inside her as his whole body shuddered.They moved together through the aftershocks, slowing gradually until they were just holding each other, breathing hard, hearts pounding.
When they finally stilled, she rested her head against his shoulder, and he kissed her hair.
"That was amazing," he said.
She smiled against his skin."The best."
She laughed when he tucked his finger under her chin and made her look up at him.He was grinning, looking more pleased with himself than she'd ever seen him.
"The best?"
She nodded happily."No more secrets, remember?At the risk of making you big-headed — yep.You are the best."
He ducked his head to press a kiss to her lips."Thank you.You are too.We are."He winked."And I promise, I'll never stop appreciating you no matter how much I get to do you."
She laughed and swatted his shoulder.She was about to tell him that he'd better not, but the look in his eyes made her breath catch.Yeah, they were joking around, which was good, but the moment called for more than that.
"I promise you the same, Ollie."
