“Mommy, can we go swim with Bear?” Jenny asks, looking at me pleadingly.
She clearly has a favorite,I think, with a smile. If only I could pick one of them I liked the most, too. I’ve never had this before, where I’m attracted to more than one guy at a time. Admittedly, I don’t know Hawk all that well, but that doesn’t stop me from admiring the way he expertly dives into the pool, swimming an entire length before coming up for air. As tempting as spending the day ogling their half-naked bodies and cooling off in a refreshing swimming pool sounds, I can’t just show up and use their pool. I’ve already pushed myself on them too much and asked for too much from them as it is.
“Sorry, sweetheart, we can’t just turn up at the neighbors’ and demand to use their pool whenever we feel like it. They have to invite us.”
As fate would have it, I glance away from Jenny’s disappointed face and back out the window for one last look, and Wolf spots me. He waves and points at the pool, before gesturing with his hand the universal ‘come on over’ signal. There’s no misunderstanding what he’s saying. Even my five-year-old understands he’s inviting us over to swim.
“Can we go now, Mommy? Wolf invited us!”
Jenny looks so excited, and if I’m being frank with myself, I want to go over as much as she does.
“Okay, sweetheart.”
Jenny beams at me, wrapping her arms around my waist and thanking me before immediately racing to her dresser to pull out her swimsuit. I hold up my hand, fingers splayed, to tell them I won’t be long before heading to my room to change, too.
Much to my disappointment, the only swimsuit I own is a rather sad, black one-piece that’s a little too snug. My breasts are practically popping out, and there’s more of my ass on display than I care for, but at least it is the kind that pushes your stomach in. I grab a sarong to cover my thighs, throw on some shades, and then fill a bag with towels, suncream, Jenny’s floaties, and anything else I can think we might need.
As usual, I’m grateful to Jenny, who breaks the ice for me by immediately rushing over like a ball of energy to say hello and demand that Bear go in the pool with her. I only have enough time to wrestle her floaties on before she jumps right in, squealing with glee as Bear tosses her in the air.
“Thanks for inviting us over, Jenny’s been desperate to come back and use the pool since yesterday,” I say, hovering awkwardly, uncertain of what to do.
“You’re welcome any time. Come sit,” Wolf replies, patting the sun lounger beside him.
I do as I’m told, carefully arranging my sarong so I don’t accidentally expose more than intended. “Thanks again for the invite yesterday. Jenny had a blast.”
“And you didn’t?” Hawk asks, studying me intently.
“No, I mean I had a great time too, of course,” I reply hurriedly. I’m surprised to find it’s the truth. Usually, I feel uncomfortable around new people, afraid I’ll say the wrong thing.
He nods, his expression unreadable as usual. “Can I get you a drink?”
The guys are drinking beer, but I need to remain clearheaded around them. I already feel overwhelmed in their presence. “Sure, whatever soft drinks you’ve got left from yesterday will be fine, or even just water.”
“Coming right up.” As he slinks away, I can’t help but watch the ripple of the muscles in his back and the way his trunks hug his ass as he walks away.
I can feel Wolf’s gaze on me. I can’t tell if it’s the sun or him making me feel so hot. I start to lather on suncream just to distract from his intense focus.
“Let me get your back,” he says, standing and coming over.
Wolf has a way of speaking that’s so commanding, so authoritative that you automatically do as he says without really considering refusing him. The second he touches me, I feel as if every nerve is alight, and my skin is the most sensitive it’s ever been. Somehow, his rubbing lotion on my shoulders becomes the most arousing thing I’ve ever experienced, and to my horror, I find myself getting wet.
At that moment, Hawk appears with a glass of peach iced tea, which I had commented on how much I liked yesterday. “You remembered,” I say with a smile.
It’s rare for a man to be so observant. My ex never knew what I liked or wanted, no matter how many obvious hints I gave him. Hawk doesn’t reply, simply inclining his head in acknowledgement as he hands it over to me. Our fingertips touch as he does, sending another current of electricity between us. I was barely holding it together with Wolf massaging my shoulders as he takes his time rubbing the suncream in. Now that Hawk is touching me, I can’t take it. It’s too much.
“Actually, I think I’m gonna hop in the pool,” I say, abruptly leaping out of my chair. I don’t dare turn to look at Wolf, sure that he will somehow know exactly how much of an effect his touch had on me.
I take a large gulp of my tea, hoping the ice-cold drink will somehow cool me off, before placing it on a table and diving into the deep end of the pool. The cold water momentarily takes my breath away, precisely what I needed to snap me out of the horny trance Wolf was putting me in. I swim over to join Jenny and Bear in the shallow end.
“Yay, Mommy!” Jenny cries, splashing her way over to me and wrapping her arms around my neck, attaching herself to me like a limpet.
“You’re getting so good at swimming, now,” I remark. “Maybe we can try without the floaties?”
Jenny looks appalled by the suggestion; she’s become so dependent on the floaties, I worry I’ll never get her out of them. Seeing this, Bear steps in.
“How about I show you my super special magic trick that means you can float without the floaties?”
Jenny eyes him suspiciously. “Okay,” she warily agrees.
