him. Now
was my chance to go back inside and lock the window behind me, but instead, I
followed his every move until our feet hit the grass beneath the tree.
I kept following him until he
stopped abruptly, and I realized we were right at the edge of the lake that our
houses were situated around.
“Um, what exactly are we doing
here?” I wrapped my arms around my shoulders that had broken out in small goose
bumps with the brisk air.
“We’re going for a swim.” He
grabbed the bottom of his t-shirt and pulled it over his head in one tug. You
know that one tug thing that some guys just perfect so easily they could
probably do it in their sleep? Yeah, that one.
And Nash, well, I could look at him
all day without his shirt on. He wasn’t buff like some weightlifter, but he was
lean and tight in all of the right places. He tugged on the gray pajama pants
he was wearing, to reveal a pair of black boxer briefs and rocked back on his
feet when he saw me staring.
“C’mon, you’re turn to put on a
show.” He twirled a finger at me and I shook my head sharply. “No way, I’m not getting
in there. It’s starting to get cool and that water is probably freezing.” I
rubbed my arms again to emphasize my point and he took a step closer until he
was just an inch from my face. “Where did my adventurous Della go? The old
Della would be all for this. In fact, it would probably be her idea.”
“Well, the old Della obviously
didn’t know what hypothermia was,” I deadpanned. I turned to leave, but was
quickly twirled around, so I was face to face with Nash, his hands resting at
the waistband of my yoga pants.
“You either take these off now or
I’ll do it for you.” I knew he wasn’t joking, he would, and he snapped the
stretchy material to prove his point.
“Fine,” I huffed out. “But you need
to turn around or get in the water or something.” I pushed him closer to the edge
of the water and tugged on my pants. Thank god I didn’t have a thong on, but
instead a pair of lacy boy shirts, at least they pretty much covered up more
than a bikini. There was no way in hell I would be taking off my top, even
though once it got wet I knew it would end up sticking to me like a second
skin.
I heard a loud laugh as I hit the
water but it was soon drowned out as I went under. The chill of the water
shocked my body, and I quickly swam to the top, gasping when my head broke
through the surface.
I pried my eyes open, wiping away
the cold moisture that was blurring my vision and turned around in a complete
circle, looking for Nash. He wasn’t anywhere in site, and I groaned out loud.
Did I just run in here like a complete idiot, practically naked, and he took
off? My question was answered quickly when I felt a tug on my ankle from
underneath the water, and I smiled right before I was pulled back under the
water.
“You’re seriously crazy,” I stated
as we both broke the surface again, my teeth chattering as I spoke every
syllable. “So is this adventurous enough for you?”
“Oh, yeah, definitely,” he
responded, gliding through the water until he stopped right in front of me. We
could both just barely touch the muddy bottom where we were, and I felt his
hand land on my bare thigh and the other wrap around my waist to pull me
closer. “I think you need some warming up.”
“Nash,” I breathed out, trying to
ease some of the sexual tension between the two of us. “What are you doing? I
thought we talked about this. How did you even know I was here anyway?”
“I saw your Grandpa bring you home
earlier while I was helping my mom out in the garden.”
“Ok-ay,” I dragged out. “Thanks for
skipping the most important part of my question there. What about-”
And before I could even bring up
his girlfriend that he was clearly forgetting about, his lips were on mine. My
body was too stunned to react at first, so I held still while his lips mashed
against mine and then he roughly probed my mouth open with his
