can’t think of any of my friend’s girlfriends or my own from the past who would have jumped in without worrying about their hair or makeup. She swims over to me and catches me off guard by jumping up out of the water and puts both hands on top of my head shoving me under. I grab onto her waist and drag her down with me. We both surface in an all-out dunking war.
We finally ease up and I put my arms around her. I find myself just holding her while we tread water. Her face is filled with a huge smile and, if it’s possible, her eyes are even smiling. I can see happiness in her entire face. Her smile takes my breath away. It has been so long since I can remember happiness like that.
She has her hands around my neck and she glances at the tattoos on my arms. Both of my arms have a few angel feathers tattooed on them as if they are floating back to the surface from a fight. There are a few more beneath the angel on my back as well. I got this tattoo after losing my battle with Nicole. I felt the angels in heaven were as devastated as I was at the loss of the innocent life that was taken entirely too early.
“I really like your tattoos. What do they mean?”
“They represent a time in my past.” I am not ready to have this conversation. I hope that she will understand this and give me the space I need until I can share this with her.
“Are you hungry?” I ask her , knowing that this is going to be a true test of her easygoing personality. My brothers and I always bring cold hot dogs with buns and beer out on the lake. The girls usually turn up their noses at the cold weenies.
“Yes .” We swim back to the boat and I let her get out first.
“Mom hates leaving lake water on herself, so my dad rigged her up a little hose if you want to use it.” I show her and enjoy watching as the water runs down her body. She is a very sexy woman and I decide it is time for that first kiss.
“You know, you didn’t really do the body shot right last night.” I say trying to figure out how to ease into this.
“Really? There is a wrong way to do a body shot?” She asks as she puts her hands on her hips in protest.
“Well let ’s just say there are better ways to do body shots.” I ask hoping she will encourage me to show her.
“You seem really confident about yourself. I guess you had better teach me your body shot skills.” She says making my heart skip a beat because I know this is going to be damn good. I grab the Jack Daniels from the compartment we stash it in and a small shot glass.
“Get on your knees up here.” I guide her to the back of the boat where the engine compartment is. This is a nice flat space that has a little padding on the door to the engine. She follows my lead hesitating just slightly. In this position I notice how quickly I could have her bikini off and she could be stripped completely bare for me.
“Sit back on your legs and lean back just a little bit. I am going to give you the shot to put in your mouth, but do not swallow.”

Holy shit is this really happening? We haven’t even started the body shot and it already blows the one from last night out of the water. I have an idea of what he plans to do, so I am searching my brain for ways to make it even better. He expects me to be inexperienced at this, which I am. Hopefully I can channel my inner sex goddess to pull this off.
“Just let it slowly drip out of your mouth and down your body and I will show you a proper body shot.” He grins with anticipation as I pour the Jack Daniels into my mouth. I barely open my lips and let it begin to dribble down my chest. He watches very closely as the liquid nears my cleavage.
I turn my head to the right just a little so it will hit the top of my breast before it slides down. Then I shift my head to the left and let it begin to cover my left breast. I notice how all of the liquid has stopped and seeped into my strap just under my chest.
He is now
