“Let’s try the hot tub. It’s a good place to let the stress go free.” She reached into the hot press and pulled out a white robe. “Take this, it’s a family heirloom now. Let me see it on you.”
He put it on and left it hang open. She approached him and taking the belt in both hands went to tie it up.
“Let’s cover that up for a bit.” She smiled the sweetest smile and made for the door.
Taking her robe off the hook on the back of the door and carrying it on her arm. He was glad now that he had turned the tub on earlier. It should be at perfect temperature by now, he thought, pushing his hands down in the pockets of his father’s robe. In the kitchen, she stopped. Taking two glasses from the cupboard and pouring wine from the open bottle on the counter. Handing him one with a slightly trembling hand.
“I opened this to go with dinner, but now seems a good time.”
He accepted the offered glass and took a large sip, she mirrored his action. He led the way through the back door to the patio. The air was cool, a clear sky with the silver globe of the moon casting light onto the steaming water of the tub. Putting their glasses on the ledge of the deep pool, He gently kissed her lips before removing his robe, laying it over a garden chair and climbing in beneath the blanket of hot water. He gently moved to the far side of the hot tub, turned and sat on the seat, He watched as she placed her robe on his, drop the straps of her dress and remove it confidently, she approached the edge of the tub.
“Temperature ok in there? I hope it works ok now.” She asked.
“You will have to get in to find out.” His reply came with a little wink.
The camisole was dispensed with. After a slight delay and look towards him she finally removed the panties. They momentarily held in the gusset and she released and dropped them to the ground. She used a band on her arm to tie up her hair in a well- practiced move. With a fully open neck he could now see the beautiful curves of this great woman. He did not take his eyes off her as she climbed in.
Watching the curve of her hip as she threw one leg over the edge then, taking his offered hand for balance, the other. She settled herself on the seat next to him, stretching her legs out in front of her. Her breasts, buoyant in the water, found their resting place as she allowed the edge to support her head, her face pointing to the starry sky.
Taking a deep relaxing breath, feeling the contrast of cool air on her face and the hot soothing of the lapping water curling at her throat. His own head now lolling back on the edge. a hairs breadth from hers, his hand finding hers beneath the water, fingers interlacing. They relaxed in this closeness, breathing in unison overlooked only by the winking stars. She turned her head silently to look at the profile of his beautiful face, feeling his thumb caress the side of her hand, she tightened her grip, and he turned his head towards her. Eyes locking, he released her hand bringing his above the surface placing it on the side of her neck.
