Page 11 of Spring Fling

Good. It’s still here. The semi-secret hot spring.

Her bright eyes widen. “It’s gorgeous.”

“It’s a local secret. Most weekend nights it’s packed with high schoolers looking for a place to canoodle.”

“And on week nights.”

I make a sweeping gesture with my arm. “As you can see, the coast is clear.”

“Sometimes it pays to be a grown-up.”

Once again, I laugh. I’ve done more of that tonight than I have in years. It’s all thanks to this woman who has paused on a boulder at the springs ledge with a brow furrowed.

“I didn’t pack a swimsuit.”

Oh. Shit. In my excitement to bring her here, I didn’t exactly think about that.

“Well.” I scratch the back of my head. “We could go in wearing our underwear.”

She arches an eyebrow. “Have you forgotten where my underwear is?”

I can feel my cheeks burn hot. Sheepishly, I reach into my pocket and hand them to her. Our fingers brush as I do. A jolt of hot electricity shoots through me.

“Thank you.” She twirls a finger. “Now turn around so I can have a little privacy.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

Much as I’d like to get a good look at this gorgeous woman, I’m a patient man. I can wait until we’re in the springs.

I take the opportunity to remove my own clothes. When I hear a small splash, I turn toward the spring, wearing only a pair of boxer briefs.

My breath catches as I take in the sight.

Fuck.

A black lace bra hugs her curves. Her skin glows in the moonlight, every inch of her looking so soft, so beautiful it’s a good thing there’s a nip in the night air. Otherwise, I’d be pitching a tent in my boxers.

Momentarily stunned, I can’t move. I can only stare in appreciation. “Have I told you how beautiful you are?”

“Not in a few minutes.” Her lips twitch. “Are you going to come in before the water gets cold?”

Shaking my head with a fresh smirk on my lips, I slide into the water. The warmth envelopes me, sinking into my body.

As if I wasn’t already hot and bothered just being in this woman’s presence.

“So,” she tilts her head playfully. “Did you bring your first-date cards for this too?”

I bark out a laugh. “Unfortunately, I left them in the truck."

“That’s a shame. I guess we’ll have to improvise.” She grins wickedly. “Truth or dare?”

I groan dramatically. “That’s just asking for trouble.”

“Oh, are you a chicken?”

My eyebrow arches in challenge. “Never."

I settle back against a warm rock and nod. “Alright, hit me.
