“This is perfect. You’re perfect.” I leaned forward and rested my head on his shoulder.
For a long time we just stood in the water like that. Wrapped up in each other. The sun beating down on my shoulders made the chill from the water disappear. Miller’s hot breath on the side of my neck helped too.
“You know,” Miller said. “There is one good thing about these hideous swim trunks.”
“Just one good thing? You know you shouldn’t say such hateful things about a gift.”
“I’m trying to tell you the benefits.”
I laughed. “And what are the benefits?”
“They have pockets.”
“Oh, very nice.” I made a mental note that Miller was a fan of pockets. I learned something new about him every day. I smiled down at him.
“It’s more what’s in the pocket that’s nice.”
I laughed as I reached down and put my hand in his pocket.Oh my.“There is something very hard in your pocket, good sir.”
He laughed. “Other pocket.”
“I kind of like this one.” I wrapped my hand around his length. I really liked the surprise in this pocket.
“Other pocket,” he whispered into my ear.
I reluctantly reached into the pocket on his left side instead. “There’s nothing in there,” I whispered back.
He laughed. “Sorry, the other pocket.”
“Geez, how many pockets are there?”
“I told you these swim trunks were ridiculous.”
I laughed.
“But I meant my back pocket.”
“Miller are you trying to make me grab your butt? All you had to do was ask.” I slid my hand into his back pocket and felt the foil packet.Oh.I pulled it out. “You thought ahead. I was justthinking about how much more fun this would be if you were inside of me.”
“Were you?”
“Always.”
He put his hand on the side of my face. “You’re insatiable.”
“No. Just a bored housewife.” As soon as the words left my mouth I flushed. “I mean…house person. Just like a person who stays in a house. A woman in a house.”
“Right.” The corner of his mouth ticked up.
“Stop it.”
“Stop what?”
“Internally laughing at me.” I unwound my legs from around his waist and tried to swim away.
But he caught my ankle, pulling me back. My head dipped under water. When I broke the water’s surface I dunked him back.
And then somehow we started a splashing fight. I was totally winning until he cheated and dunked me again. I tried to swim away again but he caught me around the waist. “Miller!” I screamed.
