Sunday snippet from my upcoming release THE ARRANGEMENT due for release on 27th August. I talk a little more about the book in the audio snippet..
I float in the calm of the water while Vincent swims laps. Let myself sink to the bottom for as long as I can, watching his body move over me. I’m lulled by the muffled whoosh as he kicks, the sound rhythmic, like a watery heartbeat. He powers through his laps and at one time I venture close enough to physically feel the water push out of his way.
I begin to weave around him, swimming as close as I dare, letting the water connect us until Vincent reaches out and grabs me. He pulls me against him and captures my mouth. I wrap my legs around his waist, arms around his neck, returning his passion. I am as bottomless as the sea in my desire for him. His kiss is brutal, punishing. And not enough. His lips and hands scorch me even though we are wet.
He laps at my mouth, stoking the fire of lust until I am burning up for him. Trembling, I am still clinging to him when he lifts me from the water and carries me up the steps, and out of the pool. The water rushes off our bodies, and then we are just heat.

I wonder if the water also evaporated in the process. Pretty hot scene.
