case she might want to use that to go.
Surprise, she did.
“Good,” she heard Penny say absently.
“Hey.”
She didn’t move.
Not even a peep.
“Penny, hey—”
“Could we come back here—someday when ... things are better?”
Luca stiffened at her question. Not because he didn’t like the idea, but more because her request was the first time that he could remember her wanting to make ... plans. Future plans. She suggested an after would come—a time when all of this was over, but even doubts lingered in the back of his mind when her mission sometimes seemed impossible.
At least, not without a tragic ending.
Luca didn’t answer her back right away, instead he rounded the front of the pool to walk along the side to the other end where she waited for him. Penny even turned around in the water to watch him as he came closer, using her arms to prop her up against the side edge until he was right behind her. Luca stared down at the beautiful, broken, perfect woman that had changed so much about his life.
More than she would ever know. He didn’t know where to begin to try and explain, after all.
Without a word, he kneeled and pressed a kiss to her wet lips that still tasted of the pool and that vanilla lip balm she’d been using lately. The soft stroke of her mouth against his answered him back, and he told her, “We’ll do whatever you want, whenever you want.”
And that was that.
Because the truth was easy. What else needed to be said?
Penny grinned against his next kiss, mumbling to him, “Get in the fucking pool, Luca.”
Absolutely.
He wouldn’t say no to that.
Luca made a pile of clothes alongside Penny’s near the window before he dove into the deeper end of the pool where his lover had started to wade water. By the time he broke the surface of the water back at the edge of the pool, Penny was already moving toward him.
His back hit the wall when her hot mouth found his. His arms kept them steady along the side of the pool while her long legs tangled around his waist under the water. There was nothing quite like the sting of this woman’s nails pulling across his skin while her pussy rubbed a rhythm against his cock and made him hard. Her tongue teased his, flicking inside his mouth just long enough to let him get a taste before pulling out of reach.
She lifted higher on his body. Luca moved with her, tilting his head back, so she could drop another one of those hot kisses against his mouth while her hand worked between their bodies. First, she stroked his cock, but then she had him pressing between her thighs. The blunt head of his dick slipped into the silky heat of her sex—and he was floating high in nothing but sensation and bliss.
Breath gone.
Nerves snapping.
Chest aching.
The pool bit into his back when he only kept one hand at the edge to keep them steady. His other hand found the fleshy roundness of her ass. His fingers dug in as she rode him, and he used that grip to yank her harder into his cock, so he could get those breathless whines escaping her lips just the way he liked.
She watched him through heavy lids and long lashes. She’d lean in just close enough for him to nibble against her jaw, or even closer when she wanted him biting that spot on the side of her neck where she didn’t even care if he left teeth marks behind. The faster they fucked, the more the water made waves against the edge of the pool, some reaching high enough to splash onto the tiles.
The closer Penny came to her orgasm, the more she wanted to touch him. Her hand rested to his cheek before her fingertips dragged over the line of his jaw. When those fingers of hers came close to his mouth, he sucked them in for a taste. His teeth scraped along the digits as Penny let out a hard breath when she came down on his dick a little harder.
“Come,” he told her. “Get what you want, baby. You know I got it.”
He always did.
Luca could have stayed like that forever.
Fucking Penny.
Taking in her life.
Wrapped up with her.
Together in whatever their love was.
He’d stay like that.
Always.
Reality was a bitch, though.
She came with a heavy hand. A screech of tire against gravel, and smoke bombs that were thrown through the windows of the lodge. It all
