Annnnnnnd I might come in my suit.

Yes.

Between her answers, the way she posed on that rock, and the light touches, I’m going to be hard for fucking days.

“Those are, uh…those are great answers. I like touching those places too, so wow, we have a lot in common. Kind of cool, right?”

“Are you…rambling?” she asks, a brow raised.

“What? Me?” I wave my hand at her. “No, I don’t ramble. I’m chill, I’m not thinking about your nipples or anything like that, just swimming in a pond, unfazed, just like you, because you look unfazed. Are you?”

“Completely.”

“Yeah, same.” I nod slowly, letting the water ripple around me. “So unfazed, probably the most unfazed I’ve ever been.”

“Good.”

“Yes, great.” I press my lips together, attempting to seem nonchalant even though I have a raging hard-on below the water with no end in sight.

“Glad we could establish that. Okay, your turn: truth or dare? And you can’t say truth. You’ve done that all night.”

“How is that fair? You can’t dictate what I want.”

“I can and I will. So, say dare.”

I splash some water at her playfully. “You really think you can control me like that?”

“I do.”

“Well…you’re right.” She laughs. “Dare.”

An evil smile spreads across her face, so I hold my hand up. “For the record, if you make me get out of this water, you’re going to have quite the show. So just warning you now.”

She squints, mulling over what she’s going to do, and after what feels like forever, she says, “Okay, for the next minute, you will let me touch you wherever I want.”

Uhh…

Pardon me?

*Cleans out ear*

Did I just hear that right?

She said touch me wherever she wants, right?

Like…wherever?

Because if so, my dick just celebrated by doing the goddamn can-can.

“Touch me?” I ask.

She nods. “Wherever I want.”

“I mean, sure, have at it. Touch away. I’m yours.”

Smirking, she swims closer to me, my heart stilling in my chest, her hand reaching out.

“Just so you know,” I say, clearing my throat. “That’s not a log in my pocket. In fact, I’m happy to see you.”
