casual about any of this.
And I hit send.
Ten years earlier…
I stripped off my night shirt and put on a robe, then made my way down to the pool.
It was an unseasonably hot night, and when I left the cool confines of the house, the warm air caressed my skin.
I walked to the pool, turned on the patio lights, and dropped my robe. Then I walked over to the diving board and dove in.
The cool water felt glorious. It was just the distraction I needed. Not that I’d come out here to be distracted.
I knew that every room in the back of the house—including Blaze’s room—looked out on the pool. He would notice the back light on outside, and when he looked out a window, he’d see me swimming naked.
After swimming for a bit, I would get out of the pool, slowly walk around the side, then dive back in. Then I’d bob up again, making sure my breasts were on display.
It felt heavenly to be so free.
It was the first time I’d ever been skinny-dipping and something about being naked in the open air was making me feel reckless. If Blaze didn’t come out here soon, maybe I’d go find him. Or maybe I’d just go back to my room and pleasure myself, like I’d been doing since the night he devoured me on the balcony.
At that moment, I was rewarded by the twitch of a curtain on the second floor. I knew he was watching now, so I made a show of doing a backstroke that put my entire body on display.
I didn’t want to give him the satisfaction of knowing that my little show was for his benefit, so I didn’t look up at him, though I saw the curtain shift a few times out of the corner of my eye, so I knew he was still watching.
After I grew tired of showing off in the water, I sauntered up out of the pool, trying to walk as slowly and sensually as possible. Then I turned to the pool, giving him a perfect view of my butt, bent over for him and dove in.
I felt good about my little show, and decided it was better to keep him wanting, so I got out of the pool and towel tried my hair before putting on my robe.
As I made my way up to the house, I allowed myself to look up to the window where a lone figure stood in the yellow light.
I was startled to find that it wasn’t Blaze.
Standing there watching me with a hooded gaze was Raine, my absentee guardian. Ordinarily, the man was never to be found. He traveled for business all the time, and even when he was home, he avoided us completely. Mirabeth the housekeeper cooked and cleaned for us, and had begun asking about our day and getting to know us, but Raine was like a ghost.
And yet there he was, watching me. Surprise, surprise.
Maybe it was my reckless mood, but I found that I didn’t much care what he just saw. What he thought of me was none of my concern. So I simply held his gaze and gave him a wicked smile as I made my way to the door.
Then he pulled the curtain shut between us, and again, I was alone.
Chapter 5
A few days after the incident in Raine’s office, there was a party that Blaze and I were both invited to attend.
My stepbrother and I spoke so infrequently that neither of us realized we were both going to the same party until he walked in with his latest girlfriend and found me in the living room.
I was sitting on the couch chatting with the girl who’d I’d come with. When I saw Blaze, I raised a hand in greeting and he tipped his chin up in acknowledgement, and then we both returned to our own separate conversations.
After the way my parents had lived and died, I had no desire to touch alcohol. I knew Blaze drank heavily and often, which surprised me, and I never understood why it appealed to him.
But tonight, in a crowd of people yet utterly alone, I needed something , so I drank.
And drank.
And drank some more.
