“I don't have anything to swim in,” I said.
He smiled salaciously. “Who says you need anything to swim in?”
We reached his luxurious apartment and walked in. Kyle immediately got on the phone. “Javier, it’s Kyle. Is anyone using the pool right now? No? Okay, can you reserve it for me for…oh, an hour or two? Great, thanks.”
He hung up and took my hand.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Come with me.”
We got back in the elevator and then off again on the fiftieth floor. Kyle used his key to open a door, and suddenly we stood in front of a gorgeous pool that overlooked Central Park.
Kyle immediately started undressing.
“But what if someone sees?” I asked, feeling the thrill of doing something slightly dangerous like this charging my blood with energy.
“There's nobody here but me,” he said with a grin as he took his shirt off. “We're all alone here.”
I stared with hunger at his muscular torso. He really did have the build of a Greek god. “You're sure about that?”
“You heard me on the phone reserving it,” he replied with a laugh as he pulled off his pants and his boxer briefs.
Desire tore through me like a forest fire at the sight of his nude form.
He jumped into the water, landing with a large splash, and called out to me. “Come on in! The water is amazing!”
I smiled, unzipped my dress at the back, and stepped out of it.
“Mm, I'm liking what I'm seeing,” he said, gazing hungrily at my body as he swam closer to the edge. “And I'd like to see a little more.”
I walked over to the edge of the pool, taking slow, seductive steps. I took off my bra and panties as I reached the edge, and stood naked in front of him. Sounds of the city echoed around us, but we weren’t in view of any other buildings.
“God, you're gorgeous,” he murmured, staring at me with admiration. “Such heavenly curves, such heavenly, stunning curves. Come on, get in the water.”
I walked over to the edge of the pool and stepped gingerly into the water. It wasn't quite warm but it wasn't cold either; it was a perfect temperature. I swam out to him, rolling over onto my back to do some backstroke so that I could look up at the sky above.
“It's a beautiful night,” I said, staring up.
“It is beautiful,” he said as he wrapped his powerful arms around me, “but nothing else in the universe could hold a candle to your beauty.”
I turned in the water and looked into his eyes. “You're an amazing man, Kyle,” I murmured. “Simply amazing.”
We started kissing, floating through the water, our bodies hot against its cool slickness as we slowly turned in it. I slid my fingers through the silky water, caressing his rock-hard body with its perfectly sculpted muscles. He ran his fingertips lightly down my back, gliding them through the water and sending shivers of delight rippling along my spine. I kissed him with a more fervent hunger, and with sudden passion he dug his fingertips into my flesh and pulled me in closer to him, pressing his broad chest against my breasts.
As my stomach was pressed against his steel-solid abs, I felt some else that was now solid pressing against me with a hot urgency.
I was already wet at the meeting of my thighs, and feeling his powerful erection pressing against me with such keenness sent an even more powerful surge of desire down to my feminine parts.
I slid my fingers down through the water to encircle his throbbing manhood, and he kissed me deeply as I did, gasping into my mouth with pleasure. I laughed seductively and kissed his neck and his throat as I stroked him with soft, gentle strokes under the water.
“I want you,” he whispered hoarsely into my ear as I kissed and nibbled on his neck. “I want you so bad right now.”
His words sent yet another fiery jolt of desire through me, and a sudden urgency seized me in its grasp. I now wanted him—no, needed him—inside me, and I gripped his throbbing hardness tightly and slid him into me. He let out a long, slow gasp of pleasure as I took him into me, inch by inch, and I felt the same ecstasy rippling through me as I did this. I lowered myself slowly onto him, teasing him and continuing to nibble on his throat and neck and ears as we rolled gently in the water.
Finally, I had all of him inside me, and I felt an immeasurable sensation of deep satisfaction. Joined together, we swam over to the side of the pool, and he gripped the edge to give himself some leverage. He then started thrusting, slowly, very slowly, savoring each stroke as he enjoyed my tightness, moaning and groaning with pleasure as I wrapped my hands around his muscular hips and pulled and pushed gently, assisting him with the thrusts.
We kissed as he started to thrust with more force and speed, slowly but surely, and I started to moan into his mouth as the power and force of his thrusts began to bring me more intense pleasure. Now his speed and intensity were increasing, and he was grunting and gasping, the water slapping and splashing against the sides of the pools as we created waves and ripples with our motion.
Pleasure built with a steadily-increasing force in my center, and an orgasm would be on its way soon. The sensation of him gliding in and out of me was utterly amazing, and with each thrust, which he delivered with more power, he rubbed against my deepest places.
The orgasm was now a glowing ball of energy, only barely contained, wanting to break free. Kyle started hammering deeper and faster, grunting with passion as he did—and finally, my orgasm exploded, shooting pure bliss through me as he hit one final, deep thrust. He came, too, and we both cried out, shuddering with pleasure, our twin orgasms rippling through us in waves.
After the orgasms began to fade out, we floated out into the water in each other's arms, the heat of our bodies dissolving in the blue.
He kissed me slowly and deeply, and then stared right into my eyes.
“I love you, Meredith, I love you so much,” he murmured in his deep, rough voice. “And I want you to be my wife. So, will you marry me?”
I didn't hesitate, not even for a second. “I will, Kyle. I will.”
Epilogue
Meredith
One Year Later
“Top of the quarterly earnings again, I see,” I said to Kyle as we checked out the latest rankings. “You're doing really well, honey.”
He kissed me, hugged me close, and smiled. “I never would have gotten this far without you, though. It was your genius with marketing that got us to this point.”
“Aw, thanks,” I said, kissing him.
He cradled my belly with one of his hands and gave me a gentle smile.
I sat down again and leaned back in my chair, on the deck of our mansion in upstate New York, looking out over the city, and smiled. Life had been good to us over the past year. The company had grown, as had profits, in leaps and bounds. We had gotten married six months ago in a beautiful, lavish ceremony, and had gone to Hawaii for our honeymoon.
Also, I was five months pregnant, and we were both delighted.
I had a new surprise for him—a great surprise—but was just waiting to get confirmation before I could break the news to Kyle. I knew that he would be delighted when I told him, but I did have to wait until I knew certain details for sure.
“Hey,” I remarked, “isn't Marsha's sentencing tomorrow?”
He nodded, frowning. “That's right.”
It had been a long court case, and she got her lawyers to draw it out as long as she could. They’d tried to pull every trick in the book to get away with what she did, but we had a watertight case, and there was no way she was going to escape justice indefinitely. And now, finally, it was about to come to her.
I nodded. “That woman tried to ruin our lives—and she almost got away with it, too.”
“But she didn't, in the end,” said Kyle with a smile.
“What do you think her sentence will be?” I asked. “She's not going to, you know, go to prison or anything, is she?”
He chuckled and shook his head. “No, as much as
I wish she could see the inside of a prison cell, and as fair and just as that would be, it's not gonna happen.”
“So, what will happen?”
“Likely just fines. Hefty ones, but she'll be able to pay them off. She is a billionaire, after all. But what she won't be able to control is the negative publicity. Her reputation will never recover from this. Hell, when was the last time you heard anything about Hendrikson, Inc.? They're off the map now—they're done, they're over. And that reality show that Tracy tried to create was a total flop, and I heard they lost millions on it. We're not likely to hear much about the Hendriksons ever again after this. We have nothing to worry about, beautiful. All we have to do is look forward to the future now—our future with our beautiful baby.”
“I know that any future spent by your side is going to be amazingly bright,” I said. “You're the best thing that's ever happened to me, and you’ve given me the best gift ever.”
We kissed again, slowly and deeply, and a powerful passion stirred up inside me. Just then though, before anything else could happen, my phone rang. It was the doctor, and I knew exactly what this was about.
“Sorry, honey, I just need to take this in private,” I said standing up from the deck chair and walking over to a place where Kyle wouldn't be able to hear me.
“Sure thing,” he said after me as I walked away, and busied himself with his own phone.
“Hi, Doctor Boeglin,” I said as I answered the call.
“Hi, Meredith,” he said warmly. “I have some great news for you. Your baby is going to be a boy. A strong, healthy boy!”
“That's wonderful, doctor,” I said. Both Kyle and I would have been just as delighted with a girl, but I had an idea for if the baby was a boy. The ultrasound specialist had thought it was a boy but wanted a second opinion because the little stinker hadn’t given us a perfect view.
I put the phone away and hurried over to Kyle, beaming an ear-to-ear grin at him.
“What are you suddenly so excited about, huh?” he asked, chuckling.
“I have a surprise,” I replied.
“Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, come on, are you just gonna leave me hanging like this? Spit it out,” he said with a laugh.
“Our little baby…it’s a boy.”
Tears of joy formed in his eyes, and he hugged me close and tight. “That's amazing,” he said. “Just amazing. But I have to ask you something...his name.”
“I already know what you want to call him,” I said, “and I want to call him that, too.”
He nodded, smiling with those tears of happiness glistening in his eyes. “Jimmy,” he whispered.
I nodded and hugged him tight. “Jimmy, it is,” I whispered back.
