naked,” she said with a laugh. “I think that this is my most favorite place. I don’t know how I will be able to come here without you, so you might just have to bring me back here time and again.”
“While I’m extremely disappointed on a hormonal level,” he grinned and wiggled his eyebrows. “I also understand and, darling, I’m a God, I can get you a suit with a thought. Give me the parameters and allow me a tiny bit of creative license,” he was really grinning now. “And you will be appropriately clad for the water. But we can also make that call later if you want to go see some other places.”
“How about you cover the goodie bits, and we go for a swim now and then later we will figure out what to do next? And I mean more than dental floss, please,” she added when she saw the gleam in his eyes. “I mean it. If it’s a bikini I’m good, but not string bikini please.”
“Hmm,” he nodded. “Hold on,” he warned next to her ear. In the next moment, they were standing on the ground next to the pool. She was in a bikini, a respectable sort that was flirty with bits of mesh strategically placed amongst the solid material, all in black. So even the mesh was dark enough to hide pretty much anything should something shift. He was in a pair of swim trunks and setting towels down on a rock next to them. “Dive on in, as I mentioned, the water’s warm.”
Ava looked at him and grinned, “Thanks, I think that I will.” She looked at the perfectly clear water and jumped right in without a hesitation. If he said it was safe, she trusted him completely.
Surprisingly the water was warm, very warm. When she surfaced, she pushed her hair out of her face and grinned, “You weren’t kidding. This is perfect.” Treading water she watched him. “Well, come on, Ares; get in here with me, mister.”
“Oh, I’m coming,” he said with a grin. Walking towards her he slowly waded into the water; stopping when he was in front of her. “I’m glad you’re here,” he told her softly.
“And I’m glad that you asked me to be here,” Ava admitted softly. “I’ve never really been one to just simply jump at something but with you, I couldn’t help myself. I needed you. Wanted to see what made you tick. I’m glad that I did too. I happen to like you Ares, and that’s another first for me. I’ve never instantly liked someone before in my life, but you, you are unique.”
“Yeah, that I’ve heard before,” his tone suggested that it hadn’t ever been a compliment. “I happen to like you too, Ava. Didn’t know for sure I would, but I find that I truly do. You’re an amazing woman, special beyond all belief, and I’m still trying to comprehend how I got you to forgive me.”
Ava shrugged, “You said that you were sorry. That was enough for me,” she admitted to him and moved closer so that she could wrap her arms around his neck. “Personally, I happen to really enjoy your company as well, so that’s even better, don’t you think?”
His hands cupped her bottom and pulled her tightly against him. “It is even better,” he said softly. “I quite enjoy your company as well. I want to spend more time with you, Ava. A lot more time. But all I have is time, so I’m always looking for something or someone to keep me occupied. Will you keep me occupied from time to time, Ava?”
“I will keep you company for as long as I can. I don’t want to give up a moment of time, but we both know that eventually you will have to find another companion.” Ava’s fingers played in his hair, caressing him as she did so. “So I think we should take the time to enjoy each other while we can, don’t you?”
He was frowning at her. “Why would I ever need to find another companion?” he asked quietly. “I don’t want to find another one when the one I have is so damned perfect it’s scary. No one, no woman, should ever be as perfect as you are, Ava VonMaur.”
