Troy stands in the large kitchen, chugging a glass of water. He’s wearing black sweatpants, nothing else. They curve low on his hips. My mouth goes dry and I reflexively swallow.
He makes eye contact. “Dani. Can I get you anything?”
“Depends. Where’s Edmund?”
He jerks his head toward the living room.
“Perfect.” I grin and lift my shirt over my head. “Follow me.”
Intrigued, he does as I ask. His footsteps are silent as he travels in my wake. I shed my bra as I move into the living room.
Edmund sits up, his eyes wide and locked on my bare chest. “Well, this is a nice surprise.”
I ignore him and look over my shoulder at Troy. “Want to go swimming?”
“Sure.” He sounds amused.
“Fuck, yes,” Edmund adds.
I scoff. “I’m inviting Troy, not you.”
“Is that how we’re playing?” Edmund shakes his head, but he’s smiling. “Have fun out there, brat.”
“I will.” I reach for the light switch by the giant picture window. The pool glows a soft blue, inviting. Turning, I see Troy has already shoved down his sweatpants. His cock stands half-erect.
I shimmy out of my jeans and underwear, dropping them on the floor. Then I slide open the door and step into the cool, evening air.
“You’re really not inviting me out there, huh?” Edmund calls after me.
“Not a chance.” I grin back at him, then reach for Troy.
“Don’t do this just because you want to make him jealous,” Troy says in a low voice.
I laugh. “His jealousy is a side benefit. I’m doing this because I want you. And be honest...would you really mind that much if it were the main reason?”
He looks me up and down, heat in his dark brown eyes. “I suppose not, little girl.”
Little girl. I like the sound of it, every time he calls me that. It fits us, too, because he’s so big, and I’m so short.
Spinning around, I dive into the pool. The water is shocking to my system at first, but after I traverse the length, it feels perfect.
Troy dives in and makes long, powerful strokes to join me at the far end. I grab onto his shoulders. He dips under the water, taking me with him. Our arms and legs twine together and his mouth finds mine in an underwater kiss. Everything is soft, wet, wonderful.
My heart pounds with excitement and my body comes alive with his touch. He brings us back to the surface so we can breathe. I plaster myself against his torso, grabbing on with my legs and arms.
“Up you go.” He lifts me out of the water so I’m sitting on the edge of the pool.
I stare down at him, waiting for whatever he does next.
His dark eyes locked on mine, he says, “Spread those legs for me, baby girl. I want to taste you.”

Edmund
My princess is trying to make me jealous.
It won’t work. She’s safe with Troy. Cared for. He’ll get her off just as well as I could. He’ll keep her happy and content and ours.
