Placing my hands on either side of her shoulder, I lowered my head to her ear. “God, you’re so beautiful.”
Tugging at the lobe of her ear, I placed a kiss after kiss on her wet skin. When our eyes met, I lowered my lips to hers and claimed her mouth. Her lips parted, and her arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me closer. The water was deeper on this end of the pool, but I was still tall enough to stand while she clung to my shoulders. Moving my hand down her sides, I found the elastic of her bikini bottoms and slid my hand against her cool skin. The wet material clung to her body, but I managed to pull them down her legs, leaving her bare beneath the water. No one but the two of us knew what was taking place. I could have placed her bottoms on the concrete ledge, but instead, I shoved them in the pocket of my board shorts where they would be safe.
“Davian.” Her sweet voice rang against my shoulder.
“Just relax and feel, princess. I’ve got you.”
I smoothed my hand along her tone stomach and worked my way between her legs. “Spread your legs for me, princess.”
Her legs opened, and she provided the access I needed. Parting her wet folds with my finger, I found her entrance and slipped it inside. Her back arched as she pushed her hip upward. I drove a second finger inside. God, she was tight. I couldn’t wait to be balls deep inside her sweet pussy. As I moved my fingers in and out of her tight channel, her body glided up and down against the water. Even though we were in the water, I could feel how wet she was. Curving my index finger, I pressed it against her sweet spot, stroking the tip against the spongy surface. A small gasp vibrated against my neck, letting me know that soon she would coat my fingers with her feminine essences. The water sloshed around us as her hips moved upward against my hand. Thankfully, the doors leading to the patio were closed, preventing anyone from hearing her scream my name when I allowed her to come.
Slowing my movements, I placed my thumb over her clit, caressing it in a slow circular motion. Lowering my head, I bit her lobe and commanded, “You will only come when I say you can.”
“Please, Davian, I can’t, I need to…”
Her voice trailed off, and without holding back, she filled the space between us with screams of ecstasy. Her walls clamped down on my finger, and I could feel her body jerk as waves of pure pleasure rippled through her body. “Your body is mine, princess.”
Even though she didn’t wait for my command, the sated look she gave me was more than enough to know I owned her release.

Reyna
As the warmth of the water cascaded down my body, I could feel the sun’s heat begin to prickle at my skin. I wasn’t new to getting sunburned, and as I had a pretty good tan, the pink tint to my skin would soon convert to another hue of brown. The memory of what took place in the pool heated my body more than the sun. Making out in a pool was a first for me. At any moment, Mika could have walked out of the patio doors and seen us. It was risky, but the possibility of getting caught only added to the excitement.
Rinsing the remaining conditioner from my hair, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my head turban style. After drying off, I applied some tinted lotion to my skin. I wasn’t sure how Davian did it, but not only did he supply me with the most expensive cosmetics, he also took the time to provide me with my favorite shampoo and conditioner, and tinted lotion. It felt comforting knowing he cared enough to buy me my favorite products, but also scary because he knew more about me than I did about him.
After I dried my hair and applied a minimal amount of makeup, I stepped out of the bathroom feeling like a new woman. Pulling away my towel, I opened the drawer and pulled out a lacy pink bra along with a matching pair of panties. I wasn’t happy about the clothes he purchased for me, but I had no choice unless I wanted to remain in this room.
As I slipped on a gray sheath dress, I heard a knock at the door. It could only be Davian coming to get me for dinner. I grabbed a pair of matching pumps and headed to the door. It surprised me to see Mika standing on the other side instead of Davian. Her smile was brighter than the sun. “Excuse me, Miss Reyna, but Davi wanted me to tell you that dinner will be in fifteen minutes.”
“Thank you for letting me know. I am almost ready.” Before Mika walked away, there was something that I needed to know. “Why do you call Davian, Davi?”
Mika turned to face me with a smile. “I have known Davi ever since he was born. I’ve been working for the Cross family for many years. First as a housekeeper and then as Davi’s nanny. I guess you could say I am the only mother he has ever known. Davi and I are very close, so now I work for him. The nickname I gave him will never change.”
“Davian never told me that his mother passed. How did she die?” Any bit of information that Mika would willingly share would bring me that much closer to knowing more about him.
“No, Miss Reyna. Mrs. Cross isn’t dead. She is very sick and is being well taken care of.”
“I don’t understand, Mika.”
“I best be heading back down to check on dinner. Davi should probably be the one to tell you about his mother.”
I was so close to finding out where Davian’s mother was, but she was right. Davian would need to be the one to share what happened to his mom with me. The last thing I wanted was to get Mika into trouble. She had been nothing but kind to me since I arrived and I really liked her.
Stepping into my pumps, I walked over to the dresser and sprayed perfume on my neck and wrists. With one last look, I stepped out of my room. Hit with the smell of something delicious, I walked down the stairs. As I got closer to the dining room, the scent of rosemary and other divine spices I couldn’t put my finger on became stronger. As I turned the corner, Davian was already seated at the head of the table. There was no one else around him, but I noticed that there were two additional place settings.
Like a magnet, our eyes found each other's. Davian’s magnificent smile spread across his already handsome face. I could have stared at him for hours. Just like me, the sun had left its mark by giving him an additional tint of brown to his already perfect tan. Instead of waiting for me to take a seat, he pushed from his chair and met me. Placing his hand on my cheek, I could feel the connection we had as it radiated through my body, resting at my core. When he leaned in and pressed his lips to mine, his woodsy scent did nothing to calm the surge of urgency in my stomach. If it weren’t for the beautifully set table and the fact that Mika was in the kitchen, I would have cleared the table and allowed him to take me just as he did in the pool.
When our kiss broke, he brushed his hand across my cheek. “You look beautiful.”
Blinking my eyes in a flirty manner, I tilted my head. “Why, thank you, Mr. Cross. You look very handsome as well.”
As he led me to the table, I looked over at the additional place setting. “Is there someone else coming to dinner?”
Before he could answer, I heard a voice coming from the living room. “Davian, you will have to forgive me for my tardiness. There was a delay at the airport which put me behind.”
As I turned to face Davian’s father, the sight reminded me how much they looked alike. Davian had the same color of hair as his father and the same blue eyes. I could only assume that he also got his need to be in control from his father.
