Mallory had already been standing. “I’m just heading to the pool now. Can’t wait. See you all later!” She waved as she made a beeline out of the cabana, presumably to the bar for another drink. Pete wished he could beam himself to the pool just so he wouldn’t have to deal.

“Aw, come on, you guys, don’t leave yet!” Cheri cried as Emma stood up, Pete right behind her. “The party is just getting started.” She jiggled her chest, her boobs moving only a teensy bit.

Emma rocked her empty drink in front of Cheri. “We’re just going to go get a refresh,” she said, grabbing Pete’s hand and tugging him along. “I’m sure we’ll be back in a jiffy.”

Pete had to almost run to catch up with his wife. Emma had her hand over her mouth, stifling giggles. “Back in a jiffy?” Pete said. “When pigs fly.”

“Oh, my,” Emma said, choking back her laughter. “I would’ve said anything to get out of there. If that’s who we have to party with tonight, this is going to be a long night. I can’t manufacture sexiness with just anyone. It has to happen organically.”

“You don’t have to do any manufacturing.” Mallory turned from her spot by the bar with a fresh drink in hand. “There are a lot of great couples. Lucky for us, the Cheris and the Harrys here are few and far between. I’ve actually vacationed with Cheri and her gigantic knockers only one other time. Harry and Jen are pretty harmless. They keep to themselves. But there’s a great couple in the secluded pool, which is called Lovers’ Pool. Antonio told us to head in. Come on, and I’ll introduce you.” Mallory stripped off her dress, draped it over the railing that ran around the makeshift tiki bar, and stepped into the pool.

“We need a drink first!” Emma called to her retreating back. “Then we’ll join you.”

“Sounds good!” Mallory tossed over her shoulder.

The pool was like a dream. Once they were handed their new drinks, Emma disrobed, draping her sundress next to Mallory’s. Instead of being completely naked, Emma had worn the scarlet bikini bottoms Piper had purchased for her.

“Holy fuck!” Pete gasped. “Can you warn me ahead of time when you’re going to wear one of those things? And is that a heart above your ass?”

Emma twisted around to look.

Since she was more flexible than most, she could easily see the small swath of material shaped like a heart right above her thong line. She gave her husband a smoky look. “Yes, it is. These were a gift from Piper. I’d say that woman knows sexy better than anyone.”

“Damn.” Pete scrubbed both hands down his face. Then he shook his head. “How am I supposed to strip naked with a full erection?” He glanced around the pool. “Going in there with a boner is going to make me look like a pervert.”

Emma chuckled. “I think just about every guy here has a boner, and you’re allowed to do whatever you want. But I’m going in just like this, with my bikini bottoms on.” She tossed her hair over her shoulder, knowing her husband was watching her like a lion hunting prey, and she loved it.

Emma took her time sashaying to the edge of the pool.

Her ankle hit the warm water, and there was a soft whistle to her left.

“Jesus, woman, are you trying to kill us again?” Charlotte’s voice carried as she strode around the pool. “That body of yours is killer. I know I’m a broken record, but wowza, I need to get a pair of those bottoms, stat. Even though my ass won’t look half as kickin’ as yours does.”

Antonio was right behind Charlotte, and Emma could see the lusty look in his eyes. His gazed darted down her body. He’d have sex with her in a heartbeat if she wanted to, there was no question. But he nodded politely to her and placed his hand on the small of Charlotte’s back. “We’re getting new drinks,” he called. “We’ll meet you in the small pool.”

The pool water was the perfect temperature. Not too warm or cold. There were dim underwater lights, but they hardly shed much light. Emma didn’t see Mallory, so she must have gone through the waterfall already.

Several couples and one foursome were in the main pool. They each had their own spot a respectable distance away from each other.

Emma made her way down the middle, chest-deep, toward the waterfall. She wasn’t sure how she was going to get her drink through without filling it with water, but if Mallory had found a way, she would, too. She heard splashing behind her and turned as Pete surfaced, his hair slicked back. His arms grasped her around the waist as he stood.

He leaned in, kissing her neck. “I’m going to fuck you hard in here. The lighting is just bright enough to see, but not enough to tell who’s who unless you’re right next to them. The perfect place for me to bury myself inside you.”

Emma’s hand snaked down under the water. “I see you decided to take your suit off after all.” She stroked his cock. “I’m glad.”

“Hey, lovebirds,” Charlotte said, coming up behind them. “You can stay and do it here, but the small pool is much cozier. Follow me if you want to have an even better time. Antonio is coming with our drinks.”

As she passed by, Pete kissed Emma, his mouth hungry. When he broke the kiss, she licked her lips. “Let’s follow her to the smaller pool,” she said. “I’m ready to get this party started.” She looped her arm around his waist, and they walked together.

“This is how you get your drink through,” Charlotte told her. “There’s just enough space for your arm to slide through the gap between the water and the wall, but go quick.”

Emma held her drink to the side as she headed under the falling stream. A little water splashed into it, but it wasn’t bad. Once they all emerged from under the downspout, there were two ways to go. Left was the open pool they’d seen when they’d first arrived. Right was the way to the small Lovers’ Pool, which was covered on all sides by vegetation so casual onlookers couldn’t see in.

They were obviously going right, following their friends.

Emma heard laughter ahead as they rounded the corner to nirvana. “Wow,” she breathed. “This is so lush in here. A secluded oasis.”

Pete was right behind her, his hands on her shoulders. “Yeah, why isn’t everyone back here? Why stay in the main pool when this little gem is right behind the waterfall?”

The lighting was lower back here. The pool had one main light, situated low under the water. The bushes overhead had some twinkling lights, but they didn’t shed much more than a glow.

Antonio chuckled as he came up behind them. “The rest of the guests aren’t back here because I rented this pool out,” he told them as he walked by, continuing on to a ledge where he sat. “This pool comes with its own bartender as well, so when we need refills, we don’t have to get out.”

“You rented the entire pool?” Emma asked.

“Only this part.” He motioned in a circle with his hand to indicate Lovers’ Pool.

Another couple was already there. The guy was nice-looking, and the woman was perched on his lap in the water. For the first time, Emma noticed the ledges above the pool, running along the sides, were covered in long white cushions.

This pool was designed for group fucking.

“It was very nice of you to include us,” Emma told him. “Thank you.”

Antonio smiled. “Of course. I usually rent it out, so it’s not an issue. I actually invite quite a few people back here to make it a party.”

“Did you include Cheri and Frankie?” Emma joked. But in case he had, she wanted to be well warned.

“No, and just for the record, Cheri invited herself to the bonfire,” Antonio answered. “She saw me earlier in the day and asked what we were doing, so I told her. But I have to admit, she does amuse the teenager in me who watched a lot of adult TV when he was younger. She has that perfect porn quality to her. When she asked if they could stop by, I said okay. I’m not a horrible person, just choosy when I want to be.”
