I knew he would be in good shape but this was ridiculous.

His shoulders popped with powerful muscles, his chest chiseled as if from stone.

His abs screamed to be licked, his powerful twin horns only adding to the dizzying mix.

He was exotic, gorgeous…

Beautiful.

Nothing like the body I had expected when I first met him.

I had expected the form of a nerd or accountant.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

I took off my pants and he did likewise.

We hung them from the nearby branches of a twisted tree — far enough away from the G'kood in case they decided to nibble at them.

Wearing only our underwear, we descended the shallow bank and approached the pool’s edge.

The water was crystal clear and pristine.

I could see the bottom and felt the soft squishy sand beneath my toes.

I prepared for the water to be cold, to send shivers through my body, and instead was surprised to find it was lukewarm.

It was theperfecttemperature.

As I waded through it, my muscles heating up with the exertion, I found the water cool and refreshing.

Uhti joined me at my side, the water only barely reaching his waist.

The droplets spilled between his powerful ab muscles.

It was difficult to tear my eyes from him.

His lips curled into a smile as he looked over at me, each of us barely even aware of our gorgeous surroundings.

I could barely keepmy eyes off her.

When she began to swim toward the middle of the pool, I admired her smooth curves, the way the water seemed to hug her gorgeous frame.

I felt my toes leave the soft bed and I waded forward with long strokes of my arms, not needing to swim the way she was.

I met her in the center of the pool and we each kicked out, holding ourselves in place.

Lizzy laughed, tossed back her head, and filled her body with air so she could float on the surface and peer up at the perfect pink sky.

I joined her, and together we floated.

“I can see why my father got inspiration here,” she said. “Surrounded by such beauty, I can’t imagine it’s possible not to.”
