at him. “Be my guest.” This could become interesting.
    She watched as he slid the black swim trunks down his sculpted thighs. He was easy on the eyes. That was for sure. His tousled, brown hair, cut just above the ears, and solid jawline accented green eyes that almost glowed with intelligence. His chest was wide and his abs toned. His biceps bulged, and there was a tattoo of some sort on one of them, military maybe. He stepped out of his trunks and turned to toss them toward his towel. Rhonda raised a hand to cover her smile when she saw the white skin of his gorgeous butt. It always tickled her a bit to see a man who was tan all over except where his briefs or trunks covered him. A white butt was comical, she thought. But this particular butt was delicious also.
    Then he turned and smiled, raising a hand. “Still okay?”
    Rhonda felt an internal warmth swirl through her veins. Wow. Standing there, naked, not trying to hide himself at all, this man was most definitely going to be the featured attraction in her dreams tonight. He was gorgeous, but not in a cover-model way. More down to earth and more accessible. “Please, come on in. The water is wonderful.” She moved her legs so that he could get in easier.
    He stepped down into the water, careful of her. “Oh, yeah,” he said as he slipped down into one of the molded seats directly across from her. “This is just what I need.”
    “Rough week?” Rhonda liked to look at him. He had that sort of face, one you could commit to memory for later appraisal…in your dreams, maybe.
    He sighed and relaxed back into the seat, leaning his head back. “It wasn’t too bad. Just seemed longer than usual.” He raised his head. “You?”
    She chuckled. “Like you, it just seemed long. By the way, I’m Rhonda.”
    “Oh, sorry. I’m Jack. I drive for the firm.” He leaned forward and offered a hand.
    She took it, noticing how large it was compared to hers. “Nice to meet you. How long have you been with the firm? I haven’t seen you before.”
    He leaned back again. “I’ve been around for about two years. Funny, I usually know everyone who comes up here. Why haven’t I met you before? I would have remembered someone as pretty as you.”
    “Oh, my gosh, are you actually coming on to me already?”
    “Would that be so bad? We are in a hot tub together, completely naked.” He raised both hands, the crooked smile on his face completely charming.
    Rhonda laughed. “You are right. And no, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.” She narrowed her eyes. “Are you being serious, though? We don’t even know each other.”
    “Well, what do you say we get to know each other? Since I’ve never seen you before, I’m assuming you drive yourself up to the compound. I’m the company driver, mostly ferrying people back and forth from the city to the compound and I’ve never had the opportunity to drive for you.” He settled back, locking his hands behind his head as if he was getting totally comfortable.
    “I do drive up. I like the scenery. I enjoy driving.”
    “So do I. What sort of car do you drive?”
    “Camaro. Convertible.”
    “New or…”
    “New. Well, it’s almost a year old now. I tell you, I can’t get enough back-road time with that car.” She loved driving it, top down, hair flying in the breeze.
    “Nice,” he said, nodding. “I love driving the company car. Those custom sedans are sleek and sleazy on the road.”
    “Sleazy?”
    He chuckled. “I don’t know. I just find a sedan to be sexy. The plush leather, the leg room, the smooth ride.”
    “You know, I’ve often wondered why the firm doesn’t have a limo,” Rhonda mused, laying her head back.
    “I don’t think they’re really out to try to impress people with their wealth. They’re more involved in intellect and strategy. Having the intelligence of the firm shine in the courtroom.”
    She nodded, gazing at him through lowered lashes. “You do have something there.” She shifted,
