edge of the property. “How are trees supposed to make me cool off?”
    “Smartass,” he joked, still pulling her behind him.
    They trudged through the small forest and soon came to a clearing that opened up to a pond, sunlight glistening off the surface of the water like a sliver of glass. It was completely shielded from view by trees and tall grass. It was amazing . But a thought hit her. “I don’t have a bathing suit with me.” Ava began to nervously chew on her thumbnail, something that’d become a habit in the past two years.
    She glanced over at Luke who was pulling his work boots off and tossing them to the ground. “You gonna stand there, or are you gonna get undressed?”
    “You can’t be serious.”
    “Extremely. Come on, don’t be a wuss.”
    That was all she needed to decide. First her shoes were toed off, her shirt was pulled over her head and tossed to the ground, and then she shimmied out of her jeans. She chanced a look at Luke to see him watching her intently like a hawk watches its prey. Something about the way he was looking at her made her feel empowered. Her skin broke out in gooseflesh knowing he was eating her up with his eyes. If it wasn’t already a hundred and five degrees outside she would’ve been burned up just with one look from his blue eyes.
    Standing in the open in her bra and panties, Ava looked over to Luke who stood in only a pair of black boxer briefs. He flashed a mischievous smile and pointed his gaze to the water. What happened next was a blur as she saw him run toward her, grab her by the waist and hurl them both into the waiting water. The cool liquid hit her skin and caused her to scream as she went under. She gulped down a mouthful of water. Suddenly her body was being brought to the top, the sunlight hitting her in the eyes as she surfaced. The only thing she could do was sputter and cough as she tried to rid her body of the dingy water.
    “You okay?” She couldn’t quite see Luke when he spoke but his voice was laced with concern. 
    “No.” She continued to cough. “Asshole!” She finally got her breath and splashed him with some of the slightly brown water. 
    “You should’ve seen your face. Priceless.” He laughed. 
    “I’m sure it was. Yours would’ve been the same if someone tried to drown you.” She couldn’t help but giggle which ended up in a fit of laughter. The water around her rippled as her entire body shook with amusement. Ava suddenly stopped and looked around.
    “Something wrong?” Luke pinned her with a stare.
    “I, uh…lost something,” she said as her head whipped back and forth, searching the surface of the water.
    “What’d you lose? An earring?” Luke raised his eyebrows in curiosity.
    “No. My underwear is gone.” Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
    “You mean this?” Luke pulled his hand above the water, holding her drenched undergarment.
    “Give it back!” She lunged forward trying to grab it, but failed. 
    “I’m keeping it.” Luke began to twirl the fabric around his finger in the air. 
    “Fine. If you get to keep mine, I get to keep yours,” she threw out.
    Luke didn’t even hesitate as he bent down in the water and moved around. He then pulled his arm up and tossed his underwear to her. “Fair is fair. But I get that, too.” He pointed to the lace covering her breasts. “Hand it over.”
    “Fine.” Ava reached around to unhook her bra.
    Sliding it down her arms she then tossed it to Luke. Looking down she could see her naked breasts bobbing in the water.
    “Now that is fucking beautiful.” Luke’s gaze became heated as he took in her nudity.
    Ava glanced down and instinctively covered her bare chest with her arms. It wasn’t as if she was ashamed of her body, she just wasn’t used to being out in the open, having her girly bits on display. “I think it’s time to get out.” Wading through the mud on the bottom of the pond, Ava made her way toward the bank. Luke didn’t leave the
