The orgasm hits me like a freight train as I hear a voice that must be mine make a gasp that sounds almost like a shriek. A convulsing wave rolls through my body followed by a level of buzzing that makes my mind go completely blank. I can still feel him rocking into me when I hear him let out a few deep grunts. Then he goes still, releasing my legs as he balances himself over me on his forearms, his chest constricts and expands as he breathes hard.
I’m unable to speak or even think as I lie there grasping tightly to my covers while waves of orgasmic energy roll over my body. Colin continues to stare at me, finally rolling off me and onto his back.
We lie flat on our backs on my bed, breathing hard. He reaches over to grab my hand. That little bit of touching makes me jump as my body strums with sensory overload. Neither of us says anything.
Can this be the same sex I’ve had in the past?
I lie there unable to move as the cool summer night air tingles my highly sensitive skin.
Colin gets up and softly says, “I can’t sleep with the light on. Can I stay, or do you want me to leave?”
Searching for my voice, I roll over to my side finally speaking in what sounds like a foreign voice. “Stay.”
Chapter 46 – You Won’t Believe It
Monday evening, after a Sunday filled with Colin, I call Savi immediately telling her, “You won’t believe this.”
She questions, “Did you have a nice date with Colin?”
Holding back the details, I continue, “I had an amazing date with Colin. We went for Indian food and then played some games.”
“This doesn’t sound unbelievable; this sounds like what you expected.”
“No the unexpected is, he’s Indian,” I dramatically reply.
“What? Are you blind? How would you not know a guy was Indian?”
“Because his mom’s a White girl and his dad’s a Hindu from Uttar Pradesh.”
“What does he consider himself?”
“American.”
“And how did your date go?”
“Best. Date. Ever. My Gods, Savi, I think I’m in love.”
She chuckles. “Hita, it was one date.”
“Savi, we’ve been friends for two years. It’s so strange, I know so much about him. Not the things you tell people about yourself, but the core of who he is and how he thinks. We moved from friends to intense in one weekend. I didn’t think anything like this existed.”
“Oh, girlfriend, you are smitten. Now you finally understand what happened when I met Anil.”
***
At work Colin and I make a point of not being near each other. There is so much sexual energy between us we’d telegraph our relationship to everyone. We meet up for ping pong on Thursday. I head down to the tables and am relieved that only Colin is there.
He gives me a cocky smile before saying, “Think you can keep your focus?”
With a big smile back, I ask him, “You insinuating I can’t keep focused?”
He lifts his eyebrows, as I lean across the table and in a low voice say, “Winner gets to be on top tonight.”
“Yeah, so, I win either way.”
“You want me to up the ante?”
He spreads his hands and gives me a sexy smirk. “I’m open to suggestions.”
“I was going to say loser cooks, but we both eat here.” Then I smile real big as a thought enters my brain. “Remember the thing I did last night that you really liked?”
He looks at me, raises his eye brows. “Yeah….”
“You win, your choice, I win, my choice.”
He chuckles and nods his head. “You’re trying to psych me out.”
With a big smirk I ask, “Is it working?”
Epilogue – Yellow Bikini
*** Colin ***
Shit is that Hita? That woman’s been plaguing my dreams. Now I’m hallucinating that she’s on the beach wearing a bright yellow bikini. I stare at this mirage. That has to be her.
My buddy hits me on the arm. “Hey, Colin, we’re moving to the other side of the dock.”
I nod my head and give him the sign for one minute.
“Hita!” The mirage turns, looks my way. Damn, that is her. She doesn’t spot me. I turn to the guys telling them, “Hold on a second I have to do something.”
I hear one of them say, “What’s with him?”
I watch the tall, slim, dark figure hand one of the other swimmers a hoodie and a towel. When I get close I realize that has to be her. Damn, she looks better in a bikini than I would have ever imagined, and my imagination has been in overdrive for some time. As I approach her I casually call out, “Hey, Hita, I thought that was you.”
She looks at me, her head is slightly tipped, finally saying, “Colin?”
Chuckling I respond, “I saw you yesterday. What? You forgot what I looked like already? Saying the first thing that pops into my head, “Why are you here?”
“Juliette did the swim. I’m her back-up team.” She points to a shivering person wrapped up in a towel.
“Sweet.” What I want to say is I want you. Damn, I’ve wanted you for too long. I think you broke up my last relationship because I certainly didn’t want her.
I can hear my buddies calling me, there’s not much I can do right now. Checking out that nice long body one more time, I pull myself together and try to move my eyes to her face. “Nice running into you. I should get back to my friends.”
Thinking about it, I turn around and say, “Hey, I haven’t seen you or David at the underground in a while.”
Her face goes blank. “Oh, yeah, David hasn’t been there?”
This is a surprise. “No.”
“We broke up.” She shrugs her shoulder before continuing in a flat voice, “I was avoiding it since I thought it best to give him some space.”
Damn, she’s not with that guy anymore. I need to think this through. I wouldn’t want to get hauled into HR, but I’m going to ask her out. “Yeah, sounds like both of you had the same idea.”
She nods. Not knowing what to say next, I hear, “Seth, we’re taking off.”
Trying to sear her hot body into my mind, I finally say, “My friends are waiting. I’ll catch you at work.”
As I catch up to the guys, Troy says, “Who’s that?”
I smile and tip my shoulder as internally my mind reels. The future Mrs. Colin Seth.

Chapter 1 – Swimming in the Morning
I’m standing on the pool deck watching everyone swimming fast. Abs Guy stops at the end of his lane. He looks up at me, giving me a panty-wetting smile as he plants his hands on the end of the pool. In one quick pull up, he’s out of the water. His body glows, he breathes hard from his recent exertion, his muscles rip along his chest and stomach. He strolls across the deck, stopping inches from me. He raises his hand and runs the back of his finger along my cheek. “You want me,” he says, in his low, deep voice.
I look into his eyes, surprised, how does he know?
He chuckles, “I can tell. I saw you watching me.” The pads of his fingers glide along my jaw, down my neck, over my chest and around my breast. The heat of his body radiates off him, he smells like chlorine with a light male musk scent I equate with sex. His eyes move down to my mouth while his fingers continue down along my stomach to my crotch. He slips them into my folds.
With a knowing smile, he says, “Yeah, you are so ready.”
As his skilled fingers explore me, my breath hitches. I run my hand down the flat hard planes of his chest while my other hand runs through the soft wet waves of his hair. I lean in and lick the water droplets off his chest as he continues exploring me down below. A throb builds and I start to wobble from the sensations.
He knowingly smiles, and then growls, “You like this.” His rhythm increases. He uses his free hand to steady me. Then he smiles, and says, “Come on my hand. I want to see what your face looks like when you orgasm.”
He then moves in closer and licks my lower lip. I gasp, and then shudder as his tongue flashes inside my mouth and circles my tongue, causing sparks to erupt along my jaw and neck that creep up to the base of my skull. My fingers glide down his chest, feeling the planes of his muscles and the ridges of his abs. My hand continues its descent down to where he’s engorged, hard, and ready for me. He pulls me closer; his mouth engulfs mine as the pace of his hand and his tongue increase. It feels like he is consuming me as I quake in response. A sound that is high-pitched and breathy escapes from my lips.
Pulling away from the kiss, he whispers into my mouth, “I want you so bad, come for me now.”
I can tell I’m turning him on as I respond to his command. He leans over and licks my ear, then blows gently, which sends its own cavalcade of sensations. Then he whispers, “Scream for me, I need to hear you.”
My breath is hard and unsteady; my orgasm has almost reached its peak.
I feel someone tap me on the shoulder. An authoritarian voice says, “Juliette, you can’t be doing this on the deck.”
I gasp, and push away from Abs Guy, repeating what the coach just said. “We can’t be doing this here.”
He laughs, turns around, and jumps back into the water.
“What the hell?” I gasp as I find myself suddenly and fully awake. I look around the gray light of my room. Wow, that was so…vivid…and…pornographic. I curl back under my blankets as I feel my face flush from embarrassment. Did I really dream that up? I just saw that guy walking across the deck at swim practice. Then again I’m glad that my dream was about Abs Guy and not about Stephan, my ex.
***
Once swimming, I no longer mind waking up at a quarter to six, since the water feels so good. I flip-turn into another long, lean glide that stretches every vertebra and ligament in my body. Swimming is like no other sport; plus the health benefits are amazing, I think, as I watch people who must be my parents’ age parade across the deck looking shockingly good in only a swimsuit. Coming up for breath, the sound of water in my ear provides a Zen like background to help relax all the thoughts spiraling through my mind. After finishing grad school this spring, I had a disastrous summer following my grad school boyfriend to London. It’s nice to be back and be able to move on with my life. The last month has been a whirlwind as I settle into a new job, while simultaneously moving in with a childhood friend, and reconnecting with my close group from college.
On my next lap, I reach up and grab a kickboard. On my way back, I casually look up at the deck as I start to order and prioritize my day. Our masters swim coach is giving the fast guys the next set. A big guy pulls himself out of the pool with one fluid movement and walks over to the tall bin where we keep the pull buoys and paddles. It’s Abs Guy. I can feel myself flush. Did I really have an X-rated dream about him last night? He’s definitely in his twenties, long and lean, with slim hips and wide well-toned shoulders, defined chest, and muscled neck. Oblivious to me watching, he leans in to grab a couple pull buoys, his abs ripple, almost in slow motion. Then turning to throw the buoys to the other guys in the lane, he reaches in to grab a few more. I’m mesmerized by those abs. Have I ever seen a body this spellbinding? Man, has it been that long? I can barely breathe from the sight of his torso. Watching him jump back in the pool, my mind has completely lost focus. Who in the hell is this Abs Guy? C’mon Juliette, stay focused! You’re here for fitness! Who am I kidding? I am so here to look at men like Abs Guy.
