《Thirst of the Heart (COMPLETE)》5
Advertisement
Mary had returned and we spent the next hour talking and laughing as she showed me the house.
Countless bedrooms adorned the top floor including the mysterious Master Caine. Downstairs boasted a grand library which made my heart ache and my fingers twitch. We had lingered in the library long enough for the smell of ink and worn leather to soak into my skin. Downstairs also held a few rooms, but I was told they would all be locked as they were to do with Master Caine's business and he was very particular about keeping his paperwork in order. A sitting room was towards the back with a large stone fireplace taking center stage.
The place was beautiful but something was missing from the rooms and as we made our way out the back and through the gardens, I had suddenly worked out what was missing.
"Mary," I called as my pace slowed to a stop. "Why is there no electronics in any of the rooms?"
Now that I had thought about it, the only technology I had seen in the whole house was in the kitchen and the lighting throughout the household.
With a smile Mary made her way back to me, wrapping her arm in mine, before continuing along the pathway. "Master Caine dislikes any sort of communication device. He uses them all day while working and doesn't want the annoyance of any in the environment where he relaxes."
It did make sense and I guess I didn't mind. I couldn't remember if I had anyone to call or what their number would be, so I let the topic fade away.
"Here we are." Mary's voice drew my attention to a large glass building. Inside was an overly large swimming pool.
Stepping forward and pushing open the door, my eyes absorbed the room. The pool itself was as wide as it was long. One end shrouded in plant life, only giving way to a cascading waterfall.
Ladders were built-in evenly around the edges, allowing ease of access in and out.
Day beds and other sitting fixtures littered the surroundings. The room itself seemed warmer inside than it had as we walked in the garden.
Forgetting she was behind me, Mary's voice made me jump a little as she spoke. "The pool room is kept at a steady temperature all year round. The roof and walls are a special design to repel any weather changes outside. Behind the waterfall is a bathroom. Towels and swimmers have been stocked in the cupboards next to the sink. Just make your way through the two hedges on the left and you will find it. There is also a small kitchen off to the right of the waterfall, it has also been stocked."

"Oh my gosh, Mary. This is stunning." Stunning was the wrong word but I was taken back by how breathtaking it was that my brain had stopped working.
"That is why I left it until last. I thought you would like to swim this afternoon, well evening I guess." With that said, she patted my arm before heading out the door and disappearing back into the garden.
With a small squeal, I made my way to the hidden bathroom where I found the swimmers and a towel and headed back to the edge of the pool.
The towel was now hanging on the back of a chair and my toes were immersed in the warm water sending a shiver through my body.
Not giving it another thought, I jumped into the water, wrapping my arms around my knees as I pulled them against my chest. As I surfaced, the water was still bobbing up and down from my bomb drive.
My hands glided through the water as I began swimming towards the waterfall. The water was perfect. I pushed off from the wall of the pool, taking a deep breath before my head went under the water. I attempted to swim to the other end while holding my breath, only to be gasping for air halfway to the other side.
I did handstands, tried and failed at butterfly stroke, and just played around for a while until I decided to just float in the water. My eyes focused on the roof, I watched as the fading light bled into the darkness of night. I was thinking of getting out. My fingers and toes had become wrinkled and my hair was starting to feel chalky. Making my way to the waterfall, I swam underneath it pressing my body against the rocks and clinging to the side.
With a sigh, I was about to push off the wall to make my way out but the sound of the door opening made me freeze.
I knew I was hidden here but I was unsure if I should stay hidden. Peeking to the side of the water my breath caught as a tall god-like man walked to the edge of the pool, only a towel wrapped firmly around his waist. The air was heavy in my chest as I watched him dip his toes in the water before walking back towards the chairs. Broad muscular shoulders tapered down to a firm waist. His think arms flexed as he unwrapped the towel before dropping it on a seat.

My eyes grew wide and my mouth grew dry even though it felt as if my saliva glands had begun to work overtime.
His bare ass tightened as he half turned towards the water. Large thighs moved very little as he took two large steps before diving into the water, his bulky man-hood on full display causing me to inhale a sharp breath.
He was magnificent.
I don't think I have ever seen a man who looked like him before. My body was frozen in place, eyes still trained on the spot where he had dived into the water. My body started to heat as I realized this must be Master Caine. This was the man who had saved me.
"See anything you liked?" His voice was deep and husky, sending a wave of heat through my core. I spun around to find a ruggedly handsome face with a perfect smile. Water dripped from his darken hair and his rich chocolate eyes held my gaze.
Without speaking a word, I lost grip on the wall the same moment I slipped under the water, blacking out.
Caine POV
Mary had told me where the girl was.
Yasmin. Her name was beautiful.
I had returned to my room with the intent of putting on swimming trunks but as my hand hovered over the plain coloured shorts I had changed my mind.
Wrapped in only a towel I watched from the garden outside the pool house as Yasmin made her way behind the waterfall. Smiling to myself I couldn't believe how perfect she was. Her long brown hair had drifted behind her until she had dipped out of sight.
Wiping the smile from my features and walked into the room I dipped my toes in the water giving her plenty of time to make herself known to me.
Even if I didn't already know she was here, her smell filled the pool room. It was almost intoxicating.
Turning my back to her I removed the towel before turning slightly to see her reaction. The change of her pheromones was almost enough to drive me insane. I could hear her heartbeat pick up in pace. The sound made my fangs begin to extend.
Not wanting her to see, I took too long strides towards the pool before diving in. Just before hitting the water, I could hear her sharp intake of breath, telling me she got a good view of my cock. It had started to harden once again the moment I had seen her floating in the pool in nothing but the small blue two-piece.
Swimming beneath the water I could see her solid legs kicking in circles helping to keep her afloat. Without making a sound, my body broke free of the water.
"See anything you liked?" My voice sounds thick, almost like I had a cold, but I knew it was the predator side of me reeling in its prey.
Her hair whipped around her face as she spun to look at me. I offered her a smile to help ease the situation but as she looked over my face, her grip became slack and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she slid under the water.
She sunk to the bottom of the pool before I realized she had passed out.
With her cradled in my arms, I push up from the floor until our faces broke the top of the water. It took very little effort to swim with her in my hers and climb out of the water. Laying her on the ground, I rolled her to her side rubbing her back roughly in an upward motion until she expelled the little amount of water, she had taken in.
My fingers dragged a lock of her hair behind her ear, grazing her forehead and cheek. She was unlike any female I had met. Something kept drawing me to her, but I wasn't sure what I wanted most.
Her eyes fluttered open, blinking a few times before focusing on my face.
A shy smile pulled her lips upwards.
We just stared at each other before her soft voice broke the silence.
"Would you mind putting some pants on please?"
Looking down at myself, I couldn't hold back a chuckle.
"Why would I want to do that? I have nothing to hide." A dark smile made its way to my face. It was just the opposite. I had so many things to hide from her for now, but my nakedness was not one of them.

"And didn't you just see me this morning?" I asked, tilting my head and placing my hands on my hips. He bites his lips and pulls me closer. "I wanted to see you before we leave."
