Summary: A reunited Claire and Alex share secret time in the pool.
“Come on,” she says with a heavy breath, and she tempts him with those come-hither green eyes as she swims away.
Alex looks around nervously. Her grandmother’s estate is far too rich than he’s used to, but when Claire draws him into the pool late that night, he feels his conscience slipping into the dark side when he cannot refuse her.
He’d be a stupid, stupid man if he refused someone like Claire Bennet.
She giggles lightly, and the water moves around him. He grins, and her rebellion is infectious. He glides toward her, feeling the water slide against him naturally. He submerges, and his natural gift kicks in as he begins to breathe. He wraps his arms around her, and above water he can hear her squeal in delight.
When he surfaces, her mouth is on his, and hungrily, he obliges her. Her mouth is so frenetic, her lips are so demanding and coarse, that he forgets to breathe at all, and pulls away from her to speak.
“Is this how you greet all the people you save?” he whispers with a smile. He nibbles on her chin, and she dips her head back into the water.
Claire shakes her head. “No.” Her voice is just loud enough for him to hear. “Just you.” She pulls herself up and wraps her arms around his shoulders. He moves them against the wall of the pool, and even in the cool water her body feels hot against his. Alex’s hands snake down her back, holding her hips as her legs fold around him.
“Claire,” he says, pulling from her kiss again and swallowing hard as he knows where this will lead. She looks at him with clear, sound eyes and nods.
“Yes,” she sighs, and she moves her hands, and he watches her like a slow-moving movie as she unties the strings of her bikini and her breasts come free.
Alex has a stupid moment - one of those times where nice guys start thinking with their right brain. “Are you sure? You’re young and…”
She hushes him with a finger to his lips, and he closes his eyes as he feels her hard nipples rub against his chest.
Then, he loses to her spell with her next words. “You’re only young once, Alex.”
He knows, however, that unlike him, Claire Bennet has all the time in the world.
