Alexander

Forty-five seconds. Her eyes were still locked on mine, steady and confident.
A full minute. My chest was screaming now, but I'd be damned if I surfaced first.
Olivia's lips quirked into a smile underwater. Then she kicked off the bottom and shot to the surface.
I followed immediately, breaking through with a gasp. "I win."
"Barely," she panted, clinging to the pool edge. "You were about to pass out."
"But I didn't." I swam over to her, caging her against the side with my arms. "Which means you owe me a kiss. Anywhere I want."
Her breathing quickened, water lapping between us. "That was the deal."
"It was." I studied her face, wet hair plastered to her head, lips parted slightly. Fuck, she was gorgeous.
"Where?" she breathed, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
"Start with my neck."
She rose on her toes, water streaming between us, and pressed her lips to the side of my neck. Soft, tentative at first.
"Lower," I instructed.
She kissed down to where my neck met my shoulder, her mouth warm against my skin. I felt my cock harden as she took her time, exploring the curve of muscle.
"Now my chest."
Her lips traveled down, kissing across my collarbone. When she reached the center of my chest, she paused, looking up at me through wet lashes.
"Keep going."
She kissed lower, her mouth moving across my pecs. When her lips brushed my nipple, I inhaled sharply. She noticed, doing it again with more confidence.
"You like that?" she asked, her voice taking on a teasing quality.
"Don't get cocky. You still owe me more."
She laughed against my skin, the vibration sending heat straight to my groin. Her mouth continued its exploration, kissing down my sternum, across my abs. The water lapped around us as she moved lower.
"Here?" she asked when she reached just below my navel.
"Perfect. Now the other side."
She worked her way back up, kissing across my ribs, up to my other shoulder. Her hands had found my waist underwater, holding on as she completed her task.
When she finally pulled back, both of us were breathing harder. "Satisfied?"
"Not even close." I pulled her flush against me, letting her feel exactly how much I wanted her. "But that was a good start."
Her eyes darkened. "Just a start?"
"You think a few kisses are enough?" I backed her against the pool wall again. "I won that bet fair and square."
"So what else do you want?"
I traced her jaw with my thumb. "Turn around."
She hesitated for just a second before obeying, bracing her hands against the pool edge. I moved closer, my chest pressing against her back, feeling the warmth of her skin despite the water.
I swept her wet hair to one side, exposing the curve of her neck. My lips found that sensitive spot where her neck met her shoulder, kissing slowly, thoroughly. She shivered despite the warm water.
My mouth traced a path up her neck, stopping just below her ear.
I kissed that spot, feeling her pulse racing beneath my lips.
"Alex," she breathed.
I turned her around to face me, water streaming between us. My hands found her waist, pulling her flush against me. "Not done yet."
Her eyes widened slightly. "No?"
"Not even close." I kissed her mouth, slow and deep, tasting chlorine and Olivia. She melted into me, her arms wrapping around my neck.
When I finally pulled back, we were both breathing hard.
"Jesus," she murmured.
I grinned, already moving lower. My lips found her collarbone, kissing across to her shoulder. The water made her skin slick, perfect for my mouth to explore.
"This is torture," she said, her fingers tangling in my hair.
"Good torture or bad torture?"
"Both."
I laughed against her skin as I continued my exploration. My mouth traveled down to the swell of her breasts above the bikini line. I kissed there, right at the edge of the fabric, feeling her breath catch.
"You're evil," she accused.
"You like it." I pulled the bikini strap aside slightly and kissed the newly exposed skin. Her nails dug into my shoulders.
My mouth found her nipple through the thin fabric, sucking gently.
She gasped, her back arching. "Fuck."
"Not yet." I switched to the other breast and gave it equal attention. The wet bikini clung to her skin, making everything more sensitive.
Her hands gripped my hair harder as I continued, my mouth working over the fabric until I could see her nipples peaking beneath the black material.
"More," she whispered.
I pulled back, meeting her eyes. "More where?"
Her cheeks flushed. "You know where."
"Say it."
"Alex."
"Say it."
She bit her lip, then finally whispered, "Lower. Please."
I kissed down her stomach, my hands gripping her waist. The water made everything smooth and easy. My mouth traced the line of her ribs, then lower to her belly button.
"God," she breathed, her head falling back.
I kissed across her stomach, taking my time. Her skin tasted like chlorine and something uniquely her. My hands slid down to her hips, thumbs brushing the edge of her bikini bottoms.
"Lift up," I instructed.
She braced herself on the pool edge, and I pulled one of her legs over my shoulder, positioning her just right.
"Alex, I can't—"
"You can." I kissed her inner thigh, just above the knee. "And you will."
My mouth worked its way up slowly, kissing every inch of skin. She was trembling now, her breathing ragged.
I kissed higher, right at the crease where her thigh met her body. So close to where she wanted me, but not quite there.
"You're killing me," she gasped.
"Good." I kissed the other thigh, giving it the same treatment. Her fingers were white-knuckled on the pool edge.
Finally, I pulled her bikini bottom to the side and pressed my mouth against her pussy. She cried out, her hips jerking forward.
"Quiet," I murmured against her. "Don't want the neighbors hearing."
"There are no neighbors," she panted.
"Still." My tongue traced along her slit, tasting her. Fuck, she was perfect. Wet and ready and mine.
I licked her slowly, thoroughly, taking my time. Her thighs trembled around my head, her breathing turning into soft moans.
"Alex, please, I need—"
"I know what you need." My tongue found her clit, circling it slowly. She gasped, her hips rocking forward.
I sucked gently, then released, then sucked again. Building a rhythm that had her gasping and pleading.
"Don't stop," she begged. "Please don't stop."
I had no intention of stopping. My tongue worked her clit while my hands gripped her ass, holding her steady against my mouth.
"I'm close," she warned, her voice tight.
"Let go," I said against her. "Come for me."
My tongue circled faster, and I felt her tense. Then she was coming, her pussy pulsing against my mouth, her thighs clamping around my head.
I worked her through it, gentling my movements as she came down from the high. When she finally relaxed, I pulled back and kissed her inner thigh again.
"Fuck," she breathed, her head still thrown back.
