     Gina laid on Knox's chest, trailing circles along the lean plane with her fingertips. Knox smiled, his hand wrapped around her while he placed a firm kiss on the top of her head. It was Gina's first time being at his place and they could not think of a better way to celebrate than making hot, passionate love after having a wonderful dinner. She was so captivated by the feel of him, the steady rise and fall of his muscular chest which slightly vibrated when he spoke. She never wanted to leave - she didn't want to leave the home that was him.

       "Do you know what I'd really like right now?" he questioned, his voice low.

     "What?" Gina asked, so engrossed in the task at hand that she didn't catch sight of the grin blooming on his face.

      "A swim," he said, watching as Gina eased up to raise her perfect brows at him.

      "What?" she asked for clarification, thinking she maybe heard wrong.

      "I'd like to go swimming with you right this moment," he exclaimed and regardless of the conversation, he couldn't help but admire her lush lips that parted to choke out a laugh.

      "Are you kidding. Knox, it's almost midnight and you don't even have a pool," she pointed out humorously, shaking her head.

      "My neighbor has a pool and they're out of town. It'd be perfect and absolutely thrilling," he raised a suggestive brow, one which made Gina laugh.

        "You're unbelievable."

         "I remember you saying that just moments ago," he reminded with a smirk.

Gina grinned, reaching for a pillow which she threw at him. "Come on, it'd be fun," Knox exclaimed convincingly, already getting up to pull on his pants.

     Gina gawked at him, propped up on her elbow. "You're actually serious," she concluded in amazement.

Knox paused to make a face. "As a judge."

       "Knox..."

        "Come on sugar, don't be a scardy cat," he challenged.

Gina's mouth fell. "Did you just call me a scardy cat?"

Knox shrugged. "I'm afraid I did," he clarified confidently.

      "Oh, it's on, Mr," she said, pulling on some clothes while Knox stood watching and grinning from cheek to cheek.

Gina's bravado, however, vanished when she snuck around the back of a stranger's house. She hugged her shoulders from the night's chill and the the feeling of fear that crept up on her.

        "Ok, I change my mind. We should go," she said, turning to leave when Knox pulled her to him.

     "Gina-"
