arms at her sides.
    Her neck had a graceful arc to it, leading down to delicate shoulder blades. Dark-rose nipples topped breasts neither too small nor too large. They were beautifully rounded and firm. He’d never made good on his offer to spend hours adoring them. Every time he tried, she’d become too excited for mere foreplay, and he’d followed her into oblivion. He’d probably have to spend a lifetime getting to know every inch of her.
    Her ribs showed more than he would have liked, thanks to the constant dieting. But then, he’d always enjoyed plump women while she liked to wear the latest fashions. Her hips, at least, still had the same fullness, which meant her ass was as glorious as the one he’d fallen in love with. And at the juncture of her thighs lay the curling dark hairs that hid her treasure. Both the home of the tiny organ that gave her such pleasure and the welcome for his rigid cock.
    He became erect immediately, ready for her again. Glancing at his pelvis quickly, she checked him out while pretending not to. To help her, he shifted, allowing the two sides of his robe to fall apart. Her answering smile told him she’d gotten the message. He wanted her. He’d always want her, no matter how many arguments they might have or how many cruel words were thrown.
    “I thought maybe the two of you ought to give each other a bath,” Jeff said.
    “We were all just in the hot tub,” Adam said.
    “Soapy water, washing backs. All very therapeutic,” Jeff responded.
    “I didn’t ask you to be my psychoanalyst,” Adam said.
    “Madeline assigned me. More or less.”
    He glanced toward Susan. “What do you think?”
    She shrugged. “I’ve done sillier things.”
    “Bath it is.” Adam shrugged out of his robe and bent to turn on the faucets. When he had the water the temperature he liked, he climbed in and reached to give Susan a hand. She had to step down, as the tub was sunken into the marble floor. Soon they were leaning back against the porcelain and staring up at the skylight as water swirled around them.
    Ever helpful, Jeff turned on the jets and sat on the floor with his back against the wall.
    “Aren’t you coming in?” Susan asked.
    “This is for you two,” Jeff answered.
    “Then, aren’t you leaving?” Adam said.
    Jeff laughed. “I’m the facilitator. I’m going to help you two through what’s been keeping you apart.”
    Like hell. If Adam were going to get in touch with his feelings or explore his inner child or other such crap, he wouldn’t do it in front of an audience. If he and Susan had unfinished business, they could damned well take care of it themselves.
    “Thanks, but we don’t need your help.”
    Jeff stretched out his legs and crossed one foot over the other. “If not mine, you need somebody’s.”
    “I don’t see why,” Adam said.
    “Look, you two are perfectly nice people. You obviously care about each other,” Jeff said. “You just need a nudge to bring you closer.”
    “Closer?” Adam repeated. “I just made love to her.”
    “You had sex,” Susan said quietly. “As part of your job.”
    “You’re not part of my job, Susan. Damn it all. You’ve never been part of my job.” Great. He’d raised his voice, and she bit her lip and looked away. If she started crying, he’d shrivel up and slip between the grout and the wall.
    “Jeff, I know you’re trying to help, but this isn’t a good idea.” Jeff had no inkling what he was dealing with. Adam didn’t understand the whole thing himself. Their relationship had involved a lot of hurt on both sides. That much he knew all too well.
    “I’m sorry,” Susan said, still not looking at him.
    “Sorry for what?” Adam said. “This was Jeff’s lame idea.”
    “Not that. I’m sorry my jealousy broke us up,” she said. “I’m sorry for all the times I screamed at you.”
    “Aw, honey, don’t. This isn’t necessary.”
    “It is,” she said, almost in a whisper.
    “Wash her back while she
