international businessmen that visit frequently.” Stephanie stared at him. “So, this is all yours?” He nodded his head. Stephanie sat back in her lounge absorbing what he just told her. She knew he was wealthy but never in her wildest dreams did she think he was that wealthy. The knowledge scared her a little. Most women would think they hit the lottery after hearing that news. Not Stephanie, it made her even more leery of the man sitting next to her. After their very intimate experience the night before, she thought about coming clean about her marital status with him today, but this news made her hesitant. “Stef…. Stef.” “Hmm, what?” “I shouldn’t have told you. Does this change anything between us?” “Why would it?” But it did. Jason was a confirmed bachelor, she was sure of it. Why would filthy rich Jason Royce want a long-term relationship with her? He could have his pick of women. She was sure he liked the fact that she was perceivably unattainable because there was no pressure on him for a commitment. She forced her growing feelings for Jason back deep inside. I’m just going to have fun for a few days and expect nothing more. However, in order to do that she would have to protect her heart. “Good, because I promised you the time of your life this weekend and I plan to deliver.” He grabbed the tube of sunscreen from the side table and stood up from his lounge. He motioned for Stephanie to lean forward and he straddled the lounge between her and the back of the chair. Stephanie leaned into him enjoying the feeling of his heated skin next to hers. “Since you designed this place, I guess you know exactly what’s behind that waterfall over there.” Jason continued to rub the sunscreen into her back and shoulders. Stephanie felt his growing erection pressing against her. “In the grotto? Yes, I know exactly what the grotto looks like. I took special care to make sure it’s spectacular. Would you like to take a look?” Stephanie nodded eagerly and kicked off her heels. He stood and took both of her hands to pull her up to a standing position. They walked together to the descending stairs at the pool’s entrance. The water was perfect in temperature; just cool enough to feel refreshing in the desert heat, but warm enough not to produce an instant chill. Jason followed her into the pool. Stephanie turned to him and wrapped her arms around him. "This feels wonderful." "The water?" he asked. Stephanie smiled up at him and skimmed her fingers across the back of his neck. "Everything,” she said. She pulled away from his embrace and ducked under the pool’s surface. Stephanie was a natural swimmer. She swam the length of the pool without taking a breath. When she resurfaced at the opposite end of the pool, she turned and placed her elbows on the pool’s edge. She eyed Jason who was not looking at her face. His gaze was fixed a few inches to the south. She looked down at her pebbled nipples clinging to her bikini top. Touching her fingertips to her neck, she traced the line of water droplets down to the valley between her breasts. "Do you swim, Jay?” she teased. Jason gave her an evil smile, slowly lowered himself under the water and swam toward her. When he reached her, he circled his hands around her waist and gave the little bows tied at her hips a gentle tug. Her black bikini bottoms slipped off as his head broke the surface and they were suddenly face-to-face. "You won't need these where we're going. Oh and this either." He reached behind her and pulled the string tied at her back. In a split second she was nude in his swimming pool. He turned her around so that her back was against his chest. He nibbled on her ear and neck as his fingers rolled her pointed nipples to soft peaks. She leaned her head against his shoulder and tilted her head to kiss him. As his lips lowered to hers she giggled and spun so that they were facing each other. "Well, if my
