the solid wall of him. He slipped his shirt over his head and tossed it on a fallen log. Her heart did a little flip at the sight of his strong back and that familiar coil of heat spiraled through her. She could imagine how it would feel to run her fingertips across his shoulders A black leather belt held his jeans snug to his waist. He had a nice rear encased in those tight pants. She wanted to see the front of him where that belt met with the dark swirl of hair that disappeared there. As if he heard her thoughts he turned around and looked up the slight incline to the trees. She hugged the tree tighter so he wouldn’t notice her. Yet. Pulling off his boots, he slid out of his jeans and wearing no underwear quickly stepped into the cool water. She could see the swift current of the river increasing out toward the middle. Everyone knew to stay close to the riverbank. When he swam out a little too far she stood up to watch. He quickly controlled his situation with strong arms stroking the water and floating with the current for a few minutes. And then he was diving under and powering back toward land till he could almost stand up. He was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. He was akin to her standing stallion which she got enormous fees for his stud service. Power was something to observe no matter what form it took. Crouching down she watched his every move, how he reveled in the coolness of the water washing the day’s work from him. Occasionally she could make out a smile on his face as he rose from the water with rocks in his hand and proceeded to skip them down stream. A man at play after a hard day’s work. She wanted to be his hard day’s work. Marie wanted to be that water that swirled around his loins, his manhood, and his flat stomach. Feeling herself dampen with the desire to touch him, she continued to watch him for a few more minutes. He was still swimming a ways off the river bank. It was now or never. She’d been putting this moment off fearing rejection but today she was determined to get his attention once and for all. As she strolled out of the woods she cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted his name, waving her hand. He looked around and spotted her. He stood up, stock still and stared as if he couldn’t believe she was there. Keeping her eyes on him and standing as tall as she could, Marie slowly unbuttoned her shirt. “Hey, can’t a man have a bath in peace?” Grinning, Marie slid out of her shirt slowly and provocatively. Plump round orbs of flesh shone in the sunlight. She had definitely captured his interest. Unzipping her jeans she lowered them revealing she too wore no underwear. “What are you doing? You’re going to get me fired.” Fired alright. Fired up, she thought with a wiggle. “I’m going to join you for a swim.” He seemed to be backing further out into the water as she slowed her steps and made a big deal of removing her boots so she could kick the jeans off completely. She laughed a little hoping he was growing hot in that cold water. “If your father catches you doing that, put your clothes back on and act like you’ve got some sense.” Pulling the rubber band from the ponytail she kept it in during working hours, she shook her hair to let the long blonde curls cascade across her shoulders. It made her look older than twenty-five. Since he was thirty-one and she knew he counted himself too old for her, the boss’s daughter, she would prove today that he was wrong. He didn’t yell for her to stop as she stepped into the water. Jack simply stood there and stared. It was chilly and her nipples responded right away. She knew her breasts were well rounded and bountiful and she had seen him looking at them before imagining what they would look like without a shirt. Today he would not only see but have full access. Sliding into the water she swam toward him. It was then she heard him curse loudly and yell again at her to go back. He turned his
