-Becker's Point Of View-
I broke the surface of the water right in front of her and whipped the water off my face and shook my head to get even more excess water off. When I looked at her she gave me a caring smile, for a while we said nothing.
"Your bathing suit makes you look even more stunning Emily." I confessed gently.
Color flushed her cheeks as she looked down biting her lip at my compliment. "Thank you." She responded.
A sudden wave of shyness washing over me caused me to keep quiet and Emily didn't feel the silence but she did look back up. I watched with growing curiosity as she looked over my shoulders and chest.
"Haven't you ever seen a man's bare chest before?" I teased, more because I was feeling anxious than anything. It wasn't until the comment left my mouth that I remembered the era Emily had come from – and how my comment made me sound like a right asshole.
Cutting off my intended apology Emily answered. "I never got to see my husbands, and I did see Matt's once…it's just…yours in different." She murmured.
"Different how?" I questioned genuinely curious as to what the answer would be.
Tilting her head slightly to the side Emily moved forward and closed most of the space between us, my breath hitched and heat washed over me as she brought her slender hand placing it on my right peck, then moved it up to my shoulder and ran her finger tips lightly down my arm.
"You're stronger, more masculine…" She squeaked.
Pure desire coursed through my blood stream, I knew kissing her would be inappropriate and too forward, but I had to touch her. Closing even more of the gap between us I advanced on her. She didn't move back but only let out a started gasp of surprise as I wrapped my hands around her hips bringing her body full against mine.
I let our cheeks touch as I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply, even with all the chemicals in the water I could still smell Emily scent, a smell that I had come to love. Though my mind was foggy at the moment I did notice that she didn't seem to know quite where to put her hands at first.
Now it was my turn to let out a startled gasp that I tried without success to stop as she, with sudden boldness, ran her hands slowly up the sides of my back then wrapping her arms around me, one across my shoulder blades and the other at the base of my skull pulling us even closer. I let myself get drawn into the hug.
I can't say who moved first, it seemed to happen almost naturally like the ebb and flow of water, the next thing I was aware of we were kissing. It was a serious kiss, after a while I ran my tongue over her lips and when she opened her mouth to mine I practically growled my approval, she tasted wonderful. In a few split seconds all coherent thoughts fled my brain.
