I ask myself, as I slip, stark naked, into the warm water. How Jack managed to talk me into this, I’ll never fully appreciate. One minute he was standing in my kitchen in his underwear and the next we were standing on the pool deck with me shimmying out of my clothes and him kissing my neck. God, I have the willpower of an eight-year-old in an amusement park! But honestly, who could resist taking a spin on the ride that is Jack Ford?A woman who wants to keep her job, I remind myself. Having turned on the deck and underwater lights before completely disrobing, the pool is aglow with a cool blue hue that does nothing to disguise my nude body bobbing up and down in the water. I know this because it isn’t obscuring a single muscle of Jack’s phenomenal physique. Not a single one. I avert my eyes, shielding my own exposed flesh with my hands, mumbling to myself what an idiot I am for even getting to this point with him.Jack slices through the water and glides over to me. “See, not too cold is it?”
