”What about you, you need any help?”

”Well,” she shifted her weight like an innocent child, ”this butter is pretty hard. Maybe you could help me cut it?”

The way she said it was so shy and adorable you’d think she was a damsel in distress. But Bo was anything but helpless. A hearty laugh escaped me, but as I settled down, I leaned in closer and husked, ”You make me melt every time you touch me.” I kissed her on the cheek. ”I’m sure you can handle it.” With that, I stepped past her frowning face, letting out an excited squeak that the coffee was finally ready.

She mumbled something under her breath as she went back to the bagels. I had to stifle my laugh as I poured us two cups, then stow away my smile when I turned around. ”Where do you want to have breakfast?”

”Anywhere is fine,” she replied without turning around.

”I’d like to sit by the pool. You said it was one way glass out there, right?”

She looked up with a teasing grin, ”Maybe.”

I clearly remember her telling me it was, so breakfast poolside in the nude sounded great to me. ”Either way, I’d like to eat out there.” I flashed her a smile and started walking, putting a little extra sway in my hips as I announced over my shoulder, ”Your coffee and I will be waiting anxiously.”

The warmth of late morning embraced me as I made my way across the patio. Bo said this was her favorite part of the house, besides any room that I was in. Again I couldn’t help but smile. It had become a permanent fixture when we were together and most of the time we were apart. Being loved like that felt good; loved with everything she had and more. Every little look, every brush of her skin against mine, every smile, touched my heart. I hoped I did the same to her. Actually, I know I did.

I meandered around butt naked in the broad daylight, enjoying the freedom her tall privacy glass allowed. On the side opposite the ocean was a long outdoor bar complete with two televisions. Right beside the bar was a full stainless steel outdoor kitchen under the cover of a modern styled black overhang. A closed in sun room completed the back corner of the pool area. I was drawn across the sun deck to the dark wood pergola covered in perfectly manicured vines that shaded the lounge chairs. The spot provided an amazing view across the infinity pool, through the glass and out to the ocean.
