Hello all

A pre- Christmas treat (hopefully) this is Chapter 1 of my new fanfic

Just a note to say that this started off as a Zac fanfic so you may notice that in places!

Hope you like it…

Chapter 1

Troy stripped off his t-shirt in one fluid movement, his hands going to his belt buckle to remove his jeans as well.

He had just come across the most beautiful waterfall spilling into a secluded pool and he couldn't resist an impromptu swim.

The area was deserted even though it was a few minutes from the resort where he was staying.

His muscles flexed and rippled under his skin as he gently swam across the mini pool.

All of a sudden he collided with something.

Something that shrieked loudly as he began to tread water. Grateful it wasn't a crocodile, he came face to face with another human.

The girl in front of Troy appeared to be no more than 15 years old. She had a young face but it was beautifully shaped with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, her skin the colour of coffee. Her dark brown eyes were spitting fury at him.

"Hey watch it dumb-ass" she quipped angrily, also treading water.

Troy was taken aback. He'd come to this secluded island for a holiday to get away from his hectic life in California. He'd just become a household name and he needed a break from the glare of the media. He was turning 21 when he got back, and his career was about to go into the stratosphere. He didn't expect everyone to know who he was, but certainly any female under the age of 30, and pretty much over the age of 30, knew who he was. And they wouldn't have called him dumb-ass. Or stared at him in disgust like he was something on the bottom of their shoe.

"Sorry, I thought I was alone out here" he said huskily, the water dripping off his hair and into his eyes. He could faintly trace the girls figure through the clear water and see that she was wearing a bikini. A very small bikini.

He grinned at the thought of that, despite her obvious young age. He mentally slapped himself for being such a pervert.

"Do you mind not staring at me?" she fumed, making move to swim to the edge of the natural pool.

Gabi realized that climbing out of the pool would not be as easy as diving in had been, especially with a deliciously cute guy staring at her butt.

She had been in her own private heaven floating in the midst of the trees until some guy had crashed into her. A guy who had the bluest eyes she had ever seen and possibly the sexiest grin she had ever seen too.

She felt more than a little awkward when he had blatantly eyed her up through the water and she had noticed he was naked apart from boxer shorts. She had to get out of there in case he tried anything on with her.

She clumsily tried to climb up the rocks at the edge of the pool, painfully scraping her knee as she desperately tried to clamber away from danger.

"Hey, careful there" the guy called, swimming over toward her slowly.

Gabi began to sob in frustration at the pain from her scraped knee and shin and she dropped back into the water unhappily. Her eyes were wide with fear as Troy approached and stopped about 3 feet away from her.

"I won't hurt you, I promise" He said softly. "I'm Troy, I'm just a tourist who came for a swim" he said in the same tone, his blue eyes penetrating hers with an intense gaze.

Gabi felt her stomach twist in a knot. He had the most amazing eyes. Not to mention those broad shoulders and muscled arms she saw peeking out as he trod water.

Gabi eyed him suspiciously "Why are you wearing boxers?"

Troy actually blushed. His damp eyelashes swept down as he looked down his body to remind himself he was indeed in his pants.

"Uh yeah….about that….I just kinda jumped in ..." he coughed, smiling adorably at her as if that were explanation enough.

She had caught him out she realized. He was actually embarrassed to be dressed so scantily.

She smiled at him then, her white teeth flashing "I'm Gabriella" she offered. "Gabi for short"

"Well we should try and get out of here so we can see to those wounds" he suggested, the water clouding a little as her knee bled.

He swam over to a lower ledge of rock and catapulted himself out of the water easily with his muscled arms. Gabi felt her stomach clench as she watched his biceps expand. She swam over, determined to get out unassisted but Troy held out his hand to her and she felt rude to resist.

Despite the fact she was in pain, Troy was dripping wet and looked incredibly sexy and Gabi found herself staring at his chest; mesmerized by his abs.

"You ok?" he asked with a lift of his thick eyebrows and a bemused grin

Gabi blushed. "Sure, I'm fine" she said, moving quickly to get her towel so he wouldn't see her body.

It was a little late as Troy already had her bikini clad body imprinted on his brain. At first he hadn't been sure of her age, but having seen her curves, he decided she must be older than her youthful face belied. She had the most amazing ass, he thought as it disappeared under her towel. And curvy hips. And shapely things. Not to mention her beautiful stomach which was smooth and led up to her well proportioned breasts, sitting in her black and gold bikini, seemingly begging for him to touch.

She wrapped a towel around herself self- consciously and he watched as she turned to him shyly, her eyes going straight to his chest. It did unimaginable things to him seeing her watching him like that. Her eyes were practically feasting on him. He pulled on his jeans with some difficulty seeing as he was still damp and they were quite tight.

He looked up to Gabi and felt a stirring in his loin as her eyes lingered at the top of his unbuttoned jeans. He pulled his T-shirt on quickly to break himself out of this spell.

"So…wanna walk back with me?" he asked "Are you staying at the Oceana Hotel?"

Gabi cocked her head at the beautiful boy next to her. "I can walk with you if you're scared" she smiled to herself. "And no I'm not" she added to his second question.

"I'm not scared!" he said, full of bravado. "It's not even dusk yet" he added.

Gabi was limping slightly and when they reached his hotel, he looked at her "I know you're gonna say no, but will you come up so I can at least stop you bleeding?" he asked with concern.

Gabi thought for a minute. He seemed pretty harmless but a young girl accepting an invite into a strange man's apartment? Risky business.

"That depends…" she said, stalling for time

"On?" he asked

"On whether you're a total pervert who's just trying to tempt me into his lair to have his wicked way with me…" she said it so seriously he almost didn't laugh. Almost.

Her brown eyes shining gave her away. He grinned, letting out a little chuckle.

She twisted her long dark hair to release some of the water.

He scraped his toe on the ground in front of him as he looked down awkwardly

"I understand why you don't want to" he ventured "But I don't want to leave you like that…so why don't we ask the hotel for some first aid?" he suggested "Where are you staying anyway?"

"I live in a small hut on the beach" she said quickly, then smiled again, "Let's go find some antiseptic"

Troy knew it wasn't the best idea in the world to offer to help out this tempting woman-child. He watched as she sat in the first aid room at the hotel as he rummaged through the cupboards. The hotel owner had left them to it to attend to other business.

He finally found some antiseptic, filled a bowl with warm water to dilute it and took some swabs of cotton to clean the cuts on Gabi's leg.

She watched awkwardly as he scooted in front of her and she blushed "It's ok, I can manage" she said softly, her voice a little wobbly as she tried to take the cotton from him.

"Uh –uh" he said, moving his hand out of her reach "This is gonna sting, believe me you'll be grateful I'm doing it" he said seriously.

"Ok Dr. Troy" she sighed, then lifted the towel away from her leg which was smeared with blood and where she'd been in the water it had turned her whole leg a funny shade of red.

Troy's eyes flicked up to her face; their blue depths filled with concern.

He gently took her ankle in his hand, very gently applying the cotton with antiseptic to her knee first, then ever so slowly dabbing it, being very careful not to hurt her.

Gabi could feel her body reacting to the gorgeous guy knelt in front of her. As soon as he had touched her ankle she had felt electricity zip up her leg and land between her thighs. She tingled from head to toe despite his attention being focused only on her bruised and bloodied knee. Her breaths were becoming shallow, pants almost.

It was obvious to anyone that she hadn't had a lot of male contact. She just hoped it wasn't obvious to Troy. She leaned back a little as he continue to stroke the cotton along her grazed knee and she relaxed a little, letting her head roll back as she let the tingling, zinging sensations envelope her as they radiated from his touch.

She subconsciously moaned aloud as his gentle hand moved up to her calf as he moved to gain access to her grazed shin.

Troy heard Gabi expel a breath expecting a sigh to follow but instead he heard a low moan. The kind of moan that he had heard several times before, but usually during sex. He felt his groin tighten in response and looked up to Gabi's face, her eyes closed in pleasure, her throat stretched out enticingly.

Gabi's eyes popped open and she sat up so fast she felt dizzy. She looked at Troy, who was staring at her, mouth open wide.

She blushed beet red from her forehead down to her breasts where the towel covered her modesty.

"I have to go" she said suddenly, getting up abruptly and almost knocking Troy over as he struggled to balance with the sudden force of her movement.

"Wait, you don't have to..." he began, but she had darted away from him and out of sight before he could even take a breath.

He jumped up, and then winced as his hardness strained against the sudden tightness of his jeans. Why did he wear these damn skinny jeans? He cursed under his breath.
