I kiss her hungrily, continuing to pleasure her with my fingers. She’s so warm and wet, and I suddenly can’t wait anymore.

I pull off my jeans and get my wallet from my pocket, removing a condom and sliding it on. I then pause to look at Carrie lying naked on the edge of the lake, her breasts exposed to the air and her legs apart, her pussy waiting for me.

I lower myself onto her, feeling as she takes me in, and I grind my hips against hers.

Being outside adds a whole other dimension to the moment. Because of the rain, it’s unlikely anyone would see us,but there’s something primal about being out in nature, alone together.

I press my mouth back to Carrie’s, gently biting her lip and continuing to rub her breasts.

She pushes up to take me deeper, and her moans get louder and louder.

Fuck. This is too good.

She yells out as she orgasms, and I feel my cock pulse as I come too. We ride the wave of pleasure together, and I almost black out from the perfection of it all.

After a moment, I roll to the side and face her. I can’t stop smiling.

She sighs. “Wow.”

I laugh. “Definitely wow.”

“How are we here like this right now?”

“I don’t know, but I’m glad.”

“Are you sure? You’re not regretting it because I seduced you?”

I laugh loudly. “Is that what you think happened? You seduced me?”

“Well, it’s not like we’ve ever even remotely ventured near that line before.”

“I wanted to,” I say quietly. “For a very long time.”

Her eyes widen. “Seriously?”

I nod and trace her side with one of my fingers. “I never in a million years thought something like this would happen, but if you had told me three years ago that we’d end up here, I would have been a very happy man.”

“Wait. So you only hired me because you wanted to sleep with me?”

“No! Of course not. I hired you because you were the best candidate for the job—and regardless of everything else, I know I made the right decision. You have been the perfect employee.”

“I feel like that was because of the fact I never asked questions and maintained professional distance.”

“That helped. But it doesn’t mean anything has to change now.”

“Um, I think it’s going to be kind of impossible for things not to change.”

I can see she’s starting to look uneasy, so I sit up and take her hand. “Please don’t overthink everything. Let’s go inside and eat. Dinner should be ready by now.”

She bites her bottom lip and then nods. “Okay.”

I hand her the T-shirt, which she puts back on… not that it hides much since it’s still wet, and I put my jeans back on. I take my shirt and the wine glasses too.

Back at the house, I turn off the oven and direct Carrie back to the bathroom to shower again. I leave another T-shirt and towel at the door and leave her be. I don’t want to crowd her if she’s feeling uncomfortable.

I quickly rinse off in my own shower and change into a pair of loose pants. I don’t bother with a shirt, but I hope Carrie doesn’t think I’m trying to sway her in any way.

I return to the kitchen and top up our wine glasses.
