"How's your butt?" Nick put another bite of quiche into his mouth and
looked at Sara curiously.
Sara's eyebrows shot up. "Do you start all your conversations like this?" A bit of color infused her cheeks.
Nick smiled. "You said your butt was asleep earlier. I just thought I'd check and see how it was doing. You know since I was the one who was sitting on it."
Sara had a wide embarrassed grin on her face. "Uh, fine thanks." She quickly put another forkful of quiche in her mouth.
Nick looked amused at Sara's discomfort. He thought about continuing to tease her, but his cell phone rang. He reached down and pulled the phone off of his belt to answer it. "Stokes."
Sara studied him as he turned his attention to the phone.
"Hey, man. Yeah, I'm just eating. I don't see why not." He glanced up at Sara. "Yeah, she's still here. Ok. Yeah. Uh huh. Later." He hung up the phone and smiled at Sara before putting another forkful of quiche into his mouth. "Warrick's coming over to go hot tubbing, wanna stick around for a while?"
Sara put another forkful of quiche into her mouth and raised her eyebrows. "Uh, yeah."
They finished eating and took the dishes into the kitchen to wash. Sara leaned against the counter as Nick washed the dishes and they chatted about nothing in particular. As Nick was rinsing the dishes with the handheld sprayer he got a mischievous glint in his eye and turned it on Sara.
The look of shock on her face was priceless and she reached for the sprayer which was still firmly in Nick's hands trying to wrestle it away from him. She succeeded only in getting even wetter. The more Sara grabbed for it, the wetter she and the kitchen floor got and the more amused Nick became. Sara finally grabbed hold of Nick's hand as he held the sprayer over his head away from Sara, but in the process, Nick pinned her between himself and the sink. The sensation of their bodies pressed against each other caused them to stop for a moment and their eyes locked. The moisture from Sara's clothes began to seep into Nick's. They both stood there breathing heavily as they looked at each other. Nick lowered his hand that held the sprayer and with his other hand, he reached up and tucked a wet curl behind Sara's ear. His fingers trailed along her cheek as he looked into her eyes.
There was a knock at the door and Nick glanced over. At the same time, Sara grabbed the sprayer and douse Nick with it before he could move.
Nick's jaw dropped and then the pair dissolved into laughter as he made his way over to the door to answer it.
Warrick stood there in his swim trunks and a T-shirt holding a towel and took in Nick's wet appearance, raising a curious eyebrow. "Uh, Nick, usually you put swim trunks on when you get in the hot tub."
"C'mon in, man. We were just doing dishes." Nick continued laughing.
Warrick started laughing when he saw how wet Sara was.
Sara just raised an eyebrow and glanced at Nick. "Somebody decided to start a water fight."
Warrick was amused. He wished he could have been a fly on that wall.
Nick feigned innocence. "Hey, all I did was spray you once. I wasn't the one who was trying to wrestle it away from me. I mean, can I help it if you got wet in the process?"
Sara tried not to laugh as she attempted a glare.
Warrick raised an eyebrow. "So do you guys want to sit in the hot tub, or did you just want to keep the water inside?"
Sara started to laugh again. "Nick, if you get me a couple of towels, I'll clean this up before the floor becomes a slip and slide."
Nick nodded at her and then glanced at Warrick as he headed to the linen closet for the towels. "I'm just gonna go change. Looks like you're ready to go."
Sara went and grabbed the towels from Nick and began to mop up the kitchen floor. Nick disappeared into his bedroom to change, and Warrick went outside to take the cover off of the hot tub and turn the jets on.
Nick emerged from his bedroom a few minutes later clad in his swimming trunks. He glanced at Sara as she stood in the kitchen making sure she'd gotten all the water off of the floor and noticed that she still wore her jeans and T-shirt which were both pretty wet. "You gonna come out and join us, Sar?"
She glanced up at him. "Yeah, I just need to change."
Nick smiled at her and was about to turn toward the back door when Sara unbutton the top button on her jeans. Nick's eyebrows shot up. "Uh, Sara?"
She glanced up at him as she unzipped and lowered her jeans before stepping out of them. "Yeah, Nick?"
Nick had a deer in the headlights expression on his face.
Sara cocked her head curiously and then a bemused grin spread across her face. She took a few steps toward him so they stood just inches apart and took hold of the hem of her T-shirt, pulling it over her head. She glanced up at Nick and smiled seductively. "It's my swimsuit." She trailed her fingers across his abdomen before she leaned over and picked up her jeans from the floor, and went to retrieve a towel from the bathroom.
Nick stood there for a few moments trying to get his heart rate under control. When Sara had begun to take her jeans and T-shirt off, images of her underwear that he'd seen in the bathroom the previous day were running through his head. To say he was turned on was putting it mildly. When he finally went outside to the hot tub, Sara and Warrick were already sitting in it chatting amiably. He lowered himself into the water and closed his eyes trying to relax. A splash of water broke him from his reverie.
A grinning Sara observed him from across the hot tub. Nick raised an eyebrow. "Was that you, Sidle?"
Sara giggled and glanced over at Warrick who looked amused. "I swear it was Warrick."
Nick glanced over at his friend who was just shaking his head, trying not to laugh. Nick glanced back at Sara. "You're a terrible liar, Sara." He splashed her back and tried to restrain a grin.
Warrick pulled himself out of the hot tub. "I'll be right back, I need to make a quick phone call." He grabbed his towel and went back inside.
Nick edged closer to Sara with one eyebrow raised. "Better not mess with Texas, Sidle."
"I swear it was Warrick." Her giggles gave her away.
Nick lunged for her across the hot tub as she tried to scoot away, but he caught her around her waist and ended up pulling her against him as he sat down. The sensation of flesh on flesh caused them both to freeze. Sara's hands were splayed out over Nick's chest and his arms encircled her waist. Their faces were inches apart. Breathing heavily they studied each others faces, licking their lips nervously. They leaned closer to each other, lips almost touching. Sara's eyes fluttered shut.
The back door opened and Nick and Sara jumped apart as Warrick rejoined them. Warrick noted the flushed appearance of Nick and Sara's faces but said nothing. He chuckled to himself. Boy was this bet with Sanders going to be interesting.
Sara's eyebrows shot up. "Do you start all your conversations like this?" A bit of color infused her cheeks.
Nick smiled. "You said your butt was asleep earlier. I just thought I'd check and see how it was doing. You know since I was the one who was sitting on it."
