"The Neighbors"

I'm feeling generous today. Here's another chapter to read during the storm!

I'm loving this story. I hope you are too!

Chapter 3: The Morning Swim

Ryan wakes me up at 7am so I can get ready for my swim with Maya. He kisses me on the forehead and says his goodbyes as he is off to work. Josh offered to give Ryan a ride to the train so they can go to the city together. Ryan takes this opportunity so he can learn more about the company and possible projects he will be working on. I'm all alone in my bed trying not to think about Maya in a bikini. Actually maybe I should so I'm not so nervous when I actually see her. I'm being silly. I'm just going to get up and do some stretching before I go over. I also need to pick out the perfect bikini to wear. I don't want to wear one that I'm falling out of and I don't want to wear one that hides everything. I finally find a black one that shows some flesh up top and a little cheekiness in the back. After I stretch, I get on my bikini throwing on some sweatpants and a long sleeve shirt. I slip on my pair of Adidas slides and walk over.

The gate is unlocked so I make my way into the backyard. I hear a splash so I know she has already started her morning ritual. I enter the pool area just in time to see this beautiful creature emerge from under water. She steps out of the pool in a white barely there bikini with a sash shay in her stride. I don't think she notices me as I haven't walked onto the pool deck yet. It feels like I'm watching her in slow motion as she lifts her arms so her hands can push her sleek hair off of her face while her head tosses back exposing the flesh seeping out of her top. She turns ever so slightly giving me a backside view of her cheeks escaping her bottoms. Damn that girl's got a tight ass. I decide I've stared long enough and I make my way towards her.

"Hey Maya, I see you started without me," I say with a splash of humor trying to find someplace to focus my eyes.

She turns to me and says,

"Hey Em, well I like to get wet before I concentrate on my laps."

She winks at me as she says this.

"I'm so glad you came over. Nice sweatpants, now let's see what's under them. Why don't you put your stuff on the lounge chair and we'll get started."

She gets right to it doesn't she. I think I like that about her.

"Maya, you have an amazing set up back here. Your pool is enormous. Love the bar too."

"Josh and I like to have a cocktail while we enjoy the hot tub."

"You have a hot tub too?"

"Right over there. We'll have to sit in it for a bit after our swim. That is if you're okay with that."

"I'm so okay with that, "I say a little too excitedly.

I can tell she noticed because she smiles and winks at me again! Damn, nothing gets by her.

"Em, let's get started. It's still a little chilly and I can see you're getting a bit nipply."

Did she just say I'm getting a bit nipply? Oh my god she totally did!

"Love the bikini by the way. It shows off your curves in all the right places."

My eyes go wide as I can't believe she is being so upfront. Her eyes look me up and down. Damn that eye sex!

"Thanks. Love yours too."

"I hope so I picked it out just for you."

Now she's giving me the sexy eyebrow arch. I shake it off as I take my spot at the edge of the pool.

"So is this a race or are we going at our own pace?" I ask.

"I think a race would be kind of fun, don't you?"

"Be prepared to lose then."

"Oh, so now you're being Miss Cocky. Well, we'll just see about that."

We dive into the pool at the same time. Damn she's got quite the lung power as she swims underwater a little longer than I do. I start my stroke to the other end of the pool when her head finally comes up for air. She is to the left of me so I can see her as I take a breath. I'm distracted by her grace and agility. Maya does the flip turn just before me but when I get underwater I open my eyes to see her from a different view. She has perfectly toned abs, very feminine. Her entire body is very feminine yet very strong. I've looked long enough. I take a deep breath and push forward to try to pass her. We manage to flip at the same time bringing us on pace with one another. We continue to swim in sync for several more laps. We are about to end our little competition so I kick a little harder to pass her. I can feel that I'm going to hit the wall first and I do so with a winning grin on my face. We are holding on to the edge of the pool breathing quite rapidly when she says,

"Wow Em, you certainly take your swimming seriously, now don't you?"

"Well I was a competitive swimmer in high school and college so I guess it's only natural."

"So what you're saying is, you hustled me," she says once again with that sexy wink.

"No, okay maybe."

We both have a good laugh. It's so refreshing to just let go and not feel like you need to make any sort of impression. And more importantly I'm feeling more comfortable.

"Hey, let's jump in the hot tub before our muscles start getting cramped. I always do that after my swim."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea."

We swim to the other end of the pool to step onto the deck. Maya gets out first giving me a very close view of her cheekiness. I blush a little as she bounces with each step to the hot tub but I have to say I kind of enjoyed it. As we sit down in the hot tub, Maya notices that I'm favoring my right shoulder.

"Is everything okay?" she asks sweetly.

"Oh yeah, it's been a little while since I swam with the move and all so I think I cramped up a bit."

"Come here. I've been told I give great massage," she says this time with an eyebrow arch.

"That's okay, it's nothing," I say nervously.

"It doesn't look like nothing to me so come over here. Sit down in front of me and I'll take care of you."

Just the way she said it, with such sincerity, no flirting, but with real concern. This makes me feel more at ease to give in to her insistence. I get up to sit in front of her while she opens her legs for me to sit between. My mouth parts slightly and my eyes open wide for a second, does she really want me to sit between her legs? Oh my god, just do it, don't think about it. I put my back to her and sit on the step with her legs on either side of me. The water comes up just over my breasts when she places her hands on my shoulders. I freeze becoming quite tense.

"Wow Em, you are full of knots in here. It's gonna take me a while to work them out. You don't mind do you?" Maya asks sounding innocent but I don't think she's being that innocent.

"No, do what you have to do. I'm feeling myself start to relax."

"Good, cuz I'm feeling something too."

A huge smile forms across my face as my head falls forward to give her better access. Her hands are masterful. Her touch gentle yet firm. I can feel the knots letting go, I can feel myself letting go. And then I do this…

"Mmmmmm."

She giggles as I realize what I just did causing me to get all tense again.

"Em, it's fine you should hear my husband when I do this to him. I told you I give good massage."

I start to laugh when she says this because I'm being paranoid for no reason. She's being a good friend by taking care of me, that's all. Her hands slide up and down my shoulders until she ends up at the back of my neck pressing her thumbs on the top of my spine. She continues to mold me like clay and I let her. Her hands travel down my back and I let her. They travel back up my back and I let her. She places them on top of my shoulders gliding them ever so discreetly down the front of my chest and I let her. My breathing hesitates as she is so close to touching the flesh escaping my top but she stops just before that pulling her hands back to my shoulders. She gives them a squeeze and says,

"How was that?"

I turn my body to look at her and say, "That was incredible. Thank you. You're absolutely right, you do give good massage," I say with a wink surprising even myself.

She looks at me with a questioning head tilt and closed mouth smile. I go to stand up to move next to Maya but I get a little dizzy and fall into her. Our faces are just inches away from each other. I can't help but get lost in her beautiful brown eyes while she puts her arms around my bare skin holding on tightly to support me. We stay like this for a few seconds but it feels more like an eternity.

"Are you okay?" she asks with genuine concern.

"Yeah, sorry about that I guess your massage got me a touch too relaxed."

We giggle softly trying to mask the sensuality of this moment. As I start to get up, her hands are sliding down my back around to my sides. Her hands linger there until I am able to move to the seat next to her. I have goose bumps up and down my body from her touch or is it from being submerged in the heated water only to be exposed to the cool air? We sit in silence smiling to ourselves not sure what to say or do next. Finally Maya starts talking,

"I'm going to the Art Gallery tomorrow; do you think you'd like to join me?

"Oh yeah definitely. I'd love to see where you work and I'd especially like to see your paintings that are on display and then maybe I could get a better idea of what this part time job is all about?

"Yeah, I'm telling you you're going to love it!"

The conversations are easy now once we got all the flirting out of the way. I smile while she's talking because she lights up when she talks about her painting. She's so excited and personable; I really like this side of her. I want to know more and it looks like I'll get the chance.

"So what are you doing the rest of the day?"

"I suppose I should get a feel for the town and where the food shopping is and stuff like that."

"Well would you like your own personal tour guide? I can definitely put some things on hold for you," she offers I think without realizing how sexy she sounded.

"I'd like that."

We emerge from the hot tub together getting our towels to dry off. I can't help but watch as she dries her arms, her chest, her abs, her legs and then wraps the towel around herself. I do the same but I did not expect what happened next. She walks over to me, takes my towel in both hands wrapping it more securely around me. Then she gets up on her toes and kisses me on the side of my mouth and says,

"That was for yesterday. Now we're even."

She pulls back with a wicked grin on her face while there's a wicked blush on mine.

"I'm so sorry about that, got my signals crossed."

"That's too bad because I didn't."

She walks away with a self-satisfied grin on her face leaving me all wet under my towel.

"See you at your house in a bit?" she asks like nothing just happened.

"Yeah see you in a bit," I respond back.

I grab all of my things quickly leaving Maya's. When I get home I basically sprint up to my bedroom. I throw my stuff and my towel on the floor, strip and jump in my shower. I let the water caress my naked body as I can't help but touch myself. I massage my already firm nipples with one hand and massage my clit with the other. My hand is moving so quickly, I need to cum so badly. I think about the morning; Maya emerging from the pool in her barely there bikini, sneaking a peek at her feminine body as it glides through the water, her hands touching my body making me tingle all over, sliding them across my chest and my back. I work myself vigorously causing soft moans to escape my mouth until I feel her lips on mine once again and I release, leaning against the wall of the tub as my legs shake under me. I'm breathing rapidly and I can't stop smiling. Damn, what is happening to me!

My thoughts of Maya consume me…

Wow! I wonder what Maya's take on their morning swim is going to be. Hmmmm.
