The Desire to Touch Read Online Free

a prat out of myself! I said “could this day get any worse?” and I think it may have just reached the pinnacle.
    I try to rid myself of the flush of fury and embarrassment but I’m fa iling, I turn to him and give a very forced smile and the least amount of sarcasm I can muster to say,
    “No! I’m fine thanks” I am so ashamed . “Tell you what, you can take my serve though” and I push the ball towards him.
    “Not a problem.” H e flashes his over-white teeth at me and swims off to take my serve.
    I stuff my breasts back into my tankini and reach around for the strap that has snapped, I can only assu me that the launch for the lounger weakened the strap somehow. Anyway, I can see a bit of strap left on the top that I can tie the remaining strap to, maybe I can try and leave the pool with some dignity. So with shaking hands I fumble to tie the strap back up, I have had enough now. I feel that the ‘tanners’ in this little section of New York have seen enough of my body, cringe.
    Taking a deep breath I swim to the steps to climb out, my devilish side is shaking her head at me with her eyes screwed tightly shut and tapping her foot, ‘No need to reflect how I already feel’ I think to myself.
    I reach the steps and take a final dunk just to refresh myself and wash away any remaini ng signs of a flush. I start to climb out and with a reassuring glance that my breasts are still securely away I sigh a heave of relief. Standing on the top step I wipe my eyes and turn to head for my bed when SHIT! No way, oh please, please tell me I’m having a nightmare – I really would cry if this wasn’t so desperately funny from the outside.
    There he is sitting on the bar stool looking straight at me cool as cucumber . Trey, knight in shining bloody armor.
    ‘Ground swallow me up now. Please?’
    He’s looking at me with an ear-to-ear grin, is he pleased to see me? oh God no, it’s because he’s seen too much of me. ‘Right, don’t stare at him for too long it’ll just make the situation worse, think fast Ellie, come on. All I can do is flash a smile at him, then scurry over to my bed, I can feel his gaze burning into my back as I am walking. Fuck the lady-like way, I am going for the lunge again, I just want to bury my face until everyone has gone and I can leave here head held high. I throw myself onto my bed and reach for my sunglasses.
    I scream with embarrassment into my towel, I really am the biggest plank going!
    I wonder if he’s still looking, I certainly feel like I’m under some intense gaze. ‘Ok, let’s don the sunglasses and turn over and check to see, ‘because I do not believe he is still looking this way.’
    ‘ Right, turn yourself over and tan woman, come on get a good look at him.’ Following my own advice I turn over and don my new Ray Bans, I release my hair from its ponytail and run my fingers through it to give it some life.
    I don’t look at him straight away, I start by looking over at the continuing volley game then I give Meagan a wave and continue to scan the rest of the pool area.
    Right, there he is with his mates - they all seem to be reliving some fond memory -having a laugh, every now and then he tends to look over in my direction. Surely he isn’t looking at me, I guess there must be some Tahitian beauty standing behind me. Waiting till his look has passed I take a quick glance over my shoulder and no - there is no one there. ‘ He must be looking at you ’ my devilish side whispers in my ear but my angel starts to drone on ‘ Don’t get a big head, there’s some explanation I’m sure ’.
    Trey’s body is so toned, every muscle and ripple in his body is so magnificently defined, two amazing pec’s that look like pillows of steel and a gorgeous golden glow to his skin that compliments his mousey blonde hair. I’m starting to feel a flush of heat sweep over my body and all the muscles deep down clench and tighten. I bite my lip to try and calm myself but I can still
