Billionaire Bachelors 3 ; The Billionaire Falls(10)
Emily was a bit uncomfortable prancing around in her swimsuit in front of a bunch of strangers but it sounded like so much fun and she really didn't want to disappoint Jessica, so she decided to get over her fears.
They quickly changed and ran back down the stairs. The guys were already in the water, hitting the ball back and forth and dunking each other in the process. Mark jumped out of the water to spike the ball over the net and Emily forgot to breathe for a few moments. The man was unbelievable in nothing but a pair of swim trunks.
The water was cascading down his muscled chest and arms. He was so dark, from all the time he spent outside and Mark was far more fit than any guy who spent hours in the gym. His hair was a little on the longer side and she found herself wanting to run her fingers through the wet strands. The waistband of his shorts were riding low, showing her the trail of hair that led past his navel. She noticed where her eyes had strayed and instantly looked away from him, praying no one else had been watching her reaction to her boss.
"Hey, you guys aren't allowed to start without us," Amy scolded the boys. She ran over and jumped off the side of the pool, making a huge splash with a perfectly executed cannonball.
"That's called cheating when you try and blind your opponent," Lucas said, before grabbing her up in a searing kiss. Emily could swear she saw steam rising up off the water as the two of them embraced.
"Hey I don't mind scratching this whole game and heading in, if you guys are too busy to play," Alex said to Lucas and Amy, before he turned and leered at his curvy wife in her tiny bikini.
"No chance," Jessica replied. She then grabbed Emily's hand and pulled her into the pool with her.
Emily came out of the water coughing up water. Suddenly there was a hand pounding on her back. "Are you okay?" Mark asked her, standing far too close for her hormonal body. The feel of his hand on her bare skin was extremely pleasant.
"I'm fine, I just wasn't expecting that and forgot to plug my nose," she coughed out.
"I'm so sorry," Jessica said with real concern.
"I'm fine, I promise. Let's play," Emily said. She really didn't like to be the center of attention in any setting, let alone when she was in a bikini in front of a very virile man, scratch that, several virile men.
There were some of the ranch hands and their girlfriends playing against the siblings and their spouses. It was a couple palooza and Emily was a bit uncomfortable when she realized she was Mark's partner. She hoped he didn't think she was trying to win him over.
Emily soon forgot about her concerns and lost herself in the game. The brothers were competitive but a blast to be with as well. They made sure to sneak in several kisses with their wives and were constantly cracking jokes or laughing about something.
The ball was coming directly towards Emily and she made a dive to save it before it landed on the water. She wasn't looking where she was going and suddenly slammed into the rock hard chest of Mark. His arms automatically encircled her to keep her from falling. She looked up to thank him and their eyes locked onto each other.
She couldn't pull away from him, no matter how much her brain was telling her to laugh and thank him and then let go. He had the most mesmerizing blue eyes she'd ever seen. She automatically started swaying towards him, forgetting anyone else was near them.
Mark bent his head down and hungrily took her lips and pulled her tightly against him. His arms wrapped around her bare waist and he pushed her against his now bulging erection. Suddenly a splash came over the top of both their heads, making Emily choke a little bit. Mark jerked back, about to kill someone, when he noticed all eyes around the pool were on him and Emily. He looked back at her face and saw the dawning horror in her eyes.
He could practically read her thoughts. He'd barely met the woman but her face was an open book for anyone who wanted to read it. Her already flushed cheeks became a becoming shade of dark red and she scooted back from him, like he had the plague or something.
Mark was trying to figure out what to say to possibly make the situation better, when his brother decided to help him. "Geese Mark, can you quit manhandling the poor girl. I know the water is a bit chilly but there are other ways to warm up, like actually playing the game."
"Look who's talking," Mark spouted back and then all the men started a huge water fight. The women ran for cover and climbed out of the pool. Emily was mortified and was trying to think of the best way to escape, without it looking like an actual escape.
"Seriously, I know you're a bit embarrassed by the kiss but these guys aren't easy to resist. Just know each of us have been there and no one's thinking anything, except that's one lucky girl," Amy said to her.
