He impatiently tugged the tails of his shirt from the waist of his pants as he finished unbuttoning it, then jerked it off his wide shoulders and tossed it on the chair. His muscles rippled in the moonlight and Maria had to check the urge to run over to him and run her hands all over that hard chest and those incredible abs. How did a man like him look so damn fine? She'd never seen him workout, but he must have some kind of regime to have a body like that.

He reached for his belt, pulling it through the loop and unbuckling it. The leather slid easily through the loops and was thrown on the pile of clothes. Next, he unbuttoned and unzipped his pants. She didn't think she was imagining the fraction of a second he took, building her anticipation, before he pushed them down, allowing his cock to spring free. The man went commando. Of course he fucking did, he was just that in control. He looked so masculine and strong as he moved that her mouth watered with anticipation. She really hoped this swim would end happily.

"Come, bella," he said, reaching out a hand.

Maria stepped toward him, sliding her palm into his. She allowed him to lead her to the edge of the pool where she dipped a toe in. It was nice and warm, heated so they wouldn't get too cold in the cool nighttime breeze. She sat down on her ass and sank her legs in, preparing herself for the water. He jumped in, splashing water everywhere and soaking Maria.

She sat blinking droplets off her eyelashes and staring at the water where his head went under the surface. Seconds later he surfaced right in front of her, a huge grin across his handsome face. Maria was blown away. This was a side of Nic she hadn't known existed and never thought to look for. Nic the mobster was strict, businesslike, brutal, harsh, unforgiving. This man, her lover, was playful and fun. This man stole the little piece of her heart that she'd refused to give up to the mobster.

She grinned at him and reached out, sliding off the ledge and trusting him to catch her. She landed in his arms, and they sank below the surface together. As their heads broke the surface and water streamed over their faces, they laughed together, lightness suffusing them. They splashed and played. Catching each other and then pushing away. Nic enjoyed chasing Maria around the pool, catching her in his arms and dragging her under the surface where he would steal a kiss.

The moment was so special that Maria didn't want it to end, which seemed to be fine with Nic. He didn't rush her out of the pool but continued to play with her. She held her breath as he wrapped his broad hands around her middle, expecting to go back under the water. He pressed his lips to hers, slipping his tongue past the barrier of her teeth and then allowing their bodies to sink below the surface again.

Something changed. Nic's unhurried, playful touches became more urgent. The boyish grin was gone, replaced by heated intensity. He dragged her against his body, his hands sliding from her waist to her hips under the water. He ground his cock against her, cupping the back of her head and dipping his for a devastating kiss.

Despite the cool evening air, Maria was warmed by his touches. She hugged him to her, not wanting to break contact. He swam them up to the edge of the pool where he forced her back against the wall and lifted her legs to his hips. She gasped into the night and didn’t get a chance to catch her breath as he entered her. He hooked her around the neck with his arm, pressing her face tight into his chest while he thrust into her with desperate speed.

It had been over a week since they last made love. Although relations between them had warmed since the arrival of her brother, Nic hadn't pushed her for sex and Maria had been too confused by her own emotions to ask for it. But now they came together in a harmony of fireworks.

Every part of Maria was lit up by the sensations coursing through her, Nic swept his hands over her body, holding her tight one minute and then pushing her away to explore her body the next. It was like being fucked by a wild animal. He bit her, he held her too tight, he slammed her into the wall and then dragged her back into his body.

"Nic!" she yelled out as he sank his teeth into her exposed breast. A shock of pain rushed through her, then as his tongue lapped at the hurt and the water washed over her, a stunning pleasure took hold. He pulled his cock from her body and replaced it with his fingers, slamming them into her, curving them against her g-spot and thrusting.

Maria screamed again, her body forced further onto his fingers because she couldn't touch the bottom of the pool. She clutched at him, trying to push him away with one hand while gripping him with all her strength with the other. With another loud scream, she convulsed and came all over his hand, her body collapsing against his as the coiled tension released.

Nic turned her in his arms and floated her back to the edge of the pool. "Trust me, bella," he whispered against the back of her shoulder.

"Mmmm," she mumbled, her eyes closing.

He lifted her hands and placed them on the ledge of the pool, getting her to hold on. His hands swept over her, front and back as he bobbed in the pool behind her, his much bigger body brushing hers, controlling her. She arched her back, pushing her ass into him, silently begging for more.

What he gave her was not something she expected. He slid his hand under her ass, and pushed her thighs apart, shoving his fingers back into her pussy. Already lit up with excitement she jerked in his arms and began panting, expecting another delicious orgasm. Instead, he slid his fingers from her pussy and without warning pushed one deep into her ass.

Maria shrieked at the unfamiliar and unexpected invasion. She clawed at the edge of the pool, intent on getting herself out and then telling her tormentor to keep his fingers to himself if he was going to mess with her back door. She was an ‘out only’ kind of girl, or that's what she always believed since she never wanted to try anal penetration and her partners had always respected her choice. Trust Nic to take that choice away from her.

He wrapped his arm around her neck from behind and pulled her against his chest. She clutched at his arm and squirmed against him trying to get away, but she quickly realized her squirming was making it worse.

"Nic," she whimpered. "I don't like this."

He kissed the side of her head and then slowly moved his finger, pulling it out. She relaxed, thinking that he was respecting her wishes, but then he thrust the finger back in, forcing it deep. She shrieked again as she dug her nails into his arm in punishment.

"You will like it, bella, but you need to trust me." He pulled the finger out with agonizing slowness, igniting sparks through the nerve-endings in her ass, then pushed it back in. "You must relax."

"You relax with something up your butt!" she snapped, shifting under the water. His hand followed and he didn't pause in his thrusts, continuing with the agonizingly slow, sensual invasion of her virgin ass.

He chuckled, but his words were chiding when he spoke. "I'm not hurting you."

She had a different opinion about that, but she knew Nic well enough to know that if she argued with him, things weren't likely to go her way. So she had no choice but to relax against him and allow him to have his way with her in a place she never thought would be penetrated. He rewarded her compliance by gentling his grip and running his hand down her front as though gentling a wild animal caught in a trap. He spoke husky sexy dirty things to her as he fucked her from behind with his finger.

"I love the way you squeeze me, it's going to feel so fucking good around my cock when I finally get inside you."

She moaned, a little afraid and a lot turned on.

"You are my goddess, so beautiful, so responsive. You belong at my side, in my bed, always with me."

Maria panted, holding the side of the pool in a death grip.

"You're such a good girl, bellissima. You're my good girl, aren't you?"
