The Mansion

[fr33ks33k]

*Wandering as usual, happens upon the swordplay, stopping to admire her skill. That's something that he hadn't done in a long while. It might be good to get some practice in sometime. He grinned, mostly concealed by the hedges, hoping not to break her concentration as he kept walking, moving on to the next place*

Center downward slash followed by a diagonal one from right to left, swiftly followed by another from left to right. ~Finis.

Her sword lowered to her side. She was softly panting from exertion. One hand lifted to smooth over her head. Her hair was pulled back, put up in a ponytail and pinned to the back of her head in a tight knot. It gave her face a severe harsh look. The lines and planes of her face were prominent compared to the softer, more femnine look when her hair was about her shoulders or merely dangling in a ponytail. She strode into the house, putting away her sword. It was time for a swim. Grabbing a towel, she jogged out of the house, along the path to the water's edge and to the newly constructed pier she had built. There, she discarded her towel and her clothing before diving off the end of the pier into the ocean, straight down into the cool depths of the water.

A knock on the front door was answered by one of the maids. He gave her a quick glance over and she returned it with one of her own. She was obviously not a stranger to having men look at her. After a brief exchange he nodded and offered thanks.

Heavy footfalls took him down the sloping landscape. He had never been back here, as a matter of fact he had not spent much time here at all. He was admiring the scenery. Cait certainly knew how to make things appealing and peaceful. He turned to where the maid had directed him, but there was no one there.

Pursing his lips thoughtfully, wondering where she could have gone off too his thoughts were interrupted as he heard a splash of water. Memories flooded back as he turned and made his way toward the ocean front and the pier. He walked to the edge and kicked off his shoes, removed his socks and just let his feet dangle in the cool water. It was a rare smile that settled on his lips as memories of his childhood settled in. No sign of what made the splash, but he was sort of lost in his own little world at the moment anyway.

 

[DarkWarrioress]

In the cool depth, she flipped, kicked and headed for the surface. Her lungs were starting to protest. The water got warmer as it streamed over her naked body, the closer to the surface she got. Just another...kick.

Her head broke the surface, her lungs demanded a deep breath and there were feet, naked feet, dangling off the edge of her pier. She slicked back her wet hair, eyes moving upward leisurely to find FD lost in thought with a smile on his face.

Threading water, she stared up at him.

"Why, hello there."

She kept her voice soft and low. Not wishing to interrupt his thoughts, but knowing she must have.

Lost as he was he barely noticed the waters surface break. He was chuckling at something and shaking his head. Finally he murmured "God you are such a prick..."

Then a voice intruded upon his reflection.

"Oh hi! I was looking for you..."

His words silenced as he noticed something was missing, the fabric of a bathing suit that would normally tie around the back of the neck. The possibility that she might just not be clothed sent heat rushing through his veins.

"I was uh... I just wanted to see how you are holding up. I can come back if you want some privacy?"

"I'm okay. Moving along. You know how it is." She shook her head, sending tendrils of wet hair flying, "I'm fine. A penny for your thoughts?"

She swam a little closer, within arms reach. It was like a light bulb going off in her head. A light bulb of mischief, that is. At that moment, she had forgotten about her nudity. She was simply Cait, enjoying the sun, the water and his company.

She swam closer and he couldn't help but smile. Nudity was distracting, a beautiful woman soaked was EXTREMELY distracting. However there was something in her eyes that just brought his smile out, and at the same time put him at ease.

"Just thinking about the past. My grandma used to have a house on the lack. My uncle taught me how to swim because he worked as a lifeguard. I learned to go tubing, water skiing though I wasn't very good at that... Oh but my brother ever the asshat used to wait until I had jumped off the dock, then he would try to jump on my head."

He just started laughing, shaking his head.

She smiled. The smile lighting up her eyes, something she hadn't enjoyed feeling in a bit now.

"Sounds like you had a pretty decent childhood. Your brother sounds like a typical sibling."

Fingertips tickled the bottom of his feet lightly. Green eyes stared up at him before she lifted a hand, wrapping her fingers around his ankle and giving a hard swift tug. Well, as hard as she could, considering she was treading water. Then she turned and started to put some distance between them, unsure if she managed to topple him into the water or not.

That smile in her eyes made his own bloom even larger.

"It wasn't so bad. Had ups and downs but there were some good moments. But yeah we were close enough that I was always just the uncool little brother. He would alternate between trying to be my protector, to just wanting to fight."

His feet jerked lightly, then suddenly he felt her tug at his ankles. Most people would have been hauled off the edge, but he was not a small guy. Broad bone structure, he had a natural look about him that had football and wrestling coaches chasing him throughout high school.

He leaned his weight forward and extended outward. Using his feet to push off the bottom of the fiberglass slats to give himself extra speed he hit the water like a arrow rushing off in her direction.

He surfaced about half way between her and where she had been with a grin. Running his hands through his short light brown hair to sheet off the water.

"are you trying to say I am stinky? I didn't need a bath that bad"

"are you trying to say I am stinky? I didn't need a bath that bad"

She turned, hearing him hit the water, grinning from ear to ear. She stuck her tongue out at him before spraying him with water.

"Oh hush, cute stuff. You came in because you wanted to, not because I tugged you. "

She prayed him again, still grinning before she needed her hands to tread water with.

"It must be nice having an older sibling. I don't have that luxury but my youngest brother and I still have a good time."

"It must be nice having an older sibling. I don't have that luxury but my youngest brother and I still have a good time."

Just as he cleared the water out of his green eyes she splashed at him. Not before popping out her tongue however.

"I came in because I was too far away to paddle that ass like you deserve cutie pie"

Another rush of water and he let out a slight grunt.

"It had pros and cons. We fought with each other almost all the time, but as we got older we bonded a little. He still tries to pretend he is my dad though."

Then he dropped his head and began to breast stroke toward her. He paused an arms length away and then went under. A soaked shirt surfaced and started to float back toward the shore line. She could feel the palm of his hand around her belly, and it circled and cinched tight as he tugged her against him

Surfacing slowly he drew a deep breath and hissed in her ear. "I'll show you another thing I learned from my older sibling"

This time he pulled hard, pulling them both under the waves. He didn't stay submerged long, and brought her up quickly in case she had not reacted quickly enough to suck in air.

She stayed where she was, still treading water as she listened and watched but when he went under, that's when she got nervous. His shirt came up but he didn't. Uh-oh, time to make haste. She was just turning, her arm coming out of the water when she felt his palm on her abdomen and managed a squeal just as he tugged her back against him.

His voice, no his words, registered just in time or maybe it was instinct, but whatever it was, she sucked in a deep breath before he pulled her under water. He surprised her by bringing them both up quickly. Her hands latched onto the arm wrapped around her stomach.

"You're a brat." She turned her head slightly toward him to grin, "but I knew that trick. Nice try."

She could feel his broad chest shaking with soft laughter. He did not release her from the hold even as she turned in his grasp and spoke.

"I am, but turn about is fair play. That was the nice way to do it though. I could have just palmed your head and pushed you under."

Reaching up he used one hand to brush a few strands of hair from her face. There was a huge smile written on his features, glittering in his gaze.

Her eyes scanned his features at her leisure. Her eyes thoughtful. The thought to remove herself from his hold never entered her mind. She couldn't exactly smack him, so she chose to do what she could, she leaned forward and nipped his jaw before withdrawing.

"Are you trying to tell me I'm short or something?" Her voice was mock stern.

Her eyes softened slightly as he brushed a few tendrils of hair from her face.

The nip at his jaw produced a soft rumble in the pit of his chest. It rose into the pit of his throat.

"Short? No no. Vertically challenged? Maybe."

The grin fell away to a soft smile as his gaze met hers. Leaning in close he brushed his lips against hers, then murmured softly.

"and tasty too."

She arched a brow, her face turned slightly up and toward him. Her amused grin was still quite in place.

"Vertically challenged? That's just one more of your cute ways to say I'm short."

However, he kind of took the wind out of her sails when his head lowered and his lips brushed against hers. She went quite still against him and probably would have sunk under the surface of the water if it weren't for his arm pinning her against his body.

Her lips parted slightly as her tongue peeked out to trace her lips, tasting the salt water on them.

"Funny, all I taste is salt water." She winked and grinned.

Laughter again, but this time it held depth and a hint of sensuality. The hand holding her aloft drifted down. Slipping over the curve of her hip in an exploratory way. His brow drifted up in surprise.

She could feel the shiver wrack his body. His eyes closing for a brief moment and he drew in a breath that trembled. Maybe she even heard the whispered 'Oh fuck' that came with it.

When he opened his eyes again his grin was wicked. Flicking the tip of his tongue along her bottom lip.

"Hmmm well yeah, there is that."

She wasn't naive. Nor was she stupid. She felt that tremor roll through his body. She heard the uneveness of his breath. She stayed still under his exploring hand before she turned toward him more fully, arms lifting to slide around his neck as pearl white teeth resumed nibbling his jaw.

"Are you telling me, you only just now figured out I was naked?"

The tip of her tongue snaked out to flick aganst his.

The moment; the mind searing, thought melting rush of passion that just the right pushed buttons could flood him with had not yet run its course. His broad shoulders were flexed by the time she settled her arms around his neck she could feel them relax. His head tipped back just slightly, offering her more skin to nibble.

When he spoke his voice was deep, full of heat. "Knowing, and feeling it beneath my hand are two entirely different things. Moreover so is picturing it in my head. Maybe I should even the odds?"

Sliding forward so there was a more flush press of skin on skin she could feel that his shorts were still quite intact but that was not his reason for coming closer. The tip of her tongue was not enough. Thick fingers curled into fiery locks and drew her close. Letting his lips press to hers with heat, and the telltale sign of hunger.

It was a dance, a tease and when he offered her more to nibble upon, who was she to deny him. The tip of her tongue teased along the column of his throat, the very edge of her teeth making itself felt.

Odds? Even? But before she figured that all out, his fingers slid into her wet hair, drawing her closer still as his lips met hers. Now it was her turn to taste. She tasted salt, sun, the hint of passion, contained and male hunger. A soft sound, probably defined as an even softer whimper, rushed up from her throat.

Her lips retreated but only a breath away as she whispered, her eyes locked on his mouth.

"I don't think that nearly makes us even....yet."

"I don't think that nearly makes us even....yet."

The days worth of stubble left a tingling sensation along his throat as her tongue claimed the skin. An idle thought flicked through his mind, could she feel his pulse starting to rush?

Her whisper was close enough that their lips occasionally nudge together. Intentional or not it made his lips tingle. Her words drew a grin to his features and he shook his head.

"No my dear... you are correct we are not quite even yet. I simply wanted to kiss you."

His free hand dropped beneath the waters surface and his hips wriggled just enough to let her feel the true 'weight' of his desire nestling into her thigh, and then a moment later his shorts and undergarments came floating up to the surface.

"There... now we are even."

"There... now we are even."

A tingle shot down her spine as she felt him, rock hard, against her thigh. Her eyes widened slightly as well. Two pieces of clothing surfaced, the tide taking them the same way his shirt had gone.

Her hand lifted from its place at the back of his neck, fingertips sliding across his chest, disappearing below the water's surface before locating him against her thigh. French tipped nails light drug against him. Her tongue traced the veins in the side of his neck, her lips paused now and then to nibble on salty skin.

"Oh yes. We're even now."

Every place that wandering finger ran a rush of goosebumps followed. His skin was a bundle of over active sensation and the closer she got to his hips, the more he reacted. That nail caused his abdomen to contract and release in a wave several times. It was when it came into contact however that his hand tightened reflexively into her fiery hair.

He slowly started to tug the handful he had, not in a way that said he wanted her to break contact, no this was purely out of reflex and the desire to do so. He realized a very important fact however. Just as he reached out to touch her, he started to sink. Laughing as he kicked off with his feet and surfaced he drew back and crooked his finger.

"I would rather not drown in the process if giving you the attention you so deserve my dear, shall we swim somewhere we can at least touch the bottom? Although at least I'd die with a smile on my face"

The tension on her hair became stronger. He even gave a slight tug. Did it deter her? Not one damn bit. She was so caught up in exploring that she failed to notice something or maybe it just happened in a split second. One second she was above water, the next, she was dunked, though rather quickly, and again above water level. She turned her face away, forehead pressed to his shoulder as she coughed. The tracing finger abandoned its intent, for now. She passed her hand over her face and laughed.

"A good idea, I think. I really don't wish to drown. "

She started to swim toward the shore, at least until her feet could touch the sandy bottom.

Feeling a little chagrined about his momentary loss of control he moved quickly to safer waters. Normally his tendency to just lose himself in the proper moment didn't have life threatening consequences. He turned, waiting for her with a smile on his face.

When she approached his hands were held out for hers, simply waiting for her. No more tricks, at least for right now. He was already missing the delicious feeling of her skin pressed against his. With the water not so deep, he was also allowed a glimpse of her figure, and his eyes were not shy in drinking in the sight.

"I'd rather you not drown either dear. You are much more animated while you are still breathing."
