“Are you ever going to address the rumors around the band’s breakup?”

Elena’s head snapped in the direction of the last question. She knew exactly what rumors the man was insinuating. It had been speculated for years that there had been a falling out between Skylar and Elena. Fans and nosy press had no idea how close to the right answer they were. But it wasn’t their business, and Elena had no intention of giving them any details.

Skylar, on the other hand, seemed pissed about the question. She was gritting her teeth, very clearly trying not to stoop to the journalist’s low.

“It’s just a question,” the man insisted as Elena and Skylar pushed their way through the crowd that seemed to be closing in on them. “Wouldn’t it be easier to squash the rumors than let them grow?”

Elena opened her mouth to respond, but Skylar took hold of her arm. “Let’s go.”

Pushing their way out of the crowd, they walked over to the rental car they’d driven to the restaurant. Elena had hoped it would help them stay incognito. So much for the best-laid plans. Skylar opened the driver’s side door for Elena, and she got in without thinking much of the gesture.

She nearly spun her tires as she left the parking lot and headed for the interstate. Both she and Skylar were quiet until they were several minutes away from the restaurant. Elena reached across the car and took Skylar’s hand.

“You okay?”

Skylar squeezed her hand. “I am. You?”

“Annoyed, but okay.”

“I know. Me, too.”

“We’ll figure this out.”

Elena tried to comfort her but knew Skylar was upset. She knew better than to force Skylar to talk, so she allowed her to sit in silence until they arrived back home. Parking the car in the driveway, Elena knew what might make Skylar feel better.

“Wanna have sex in the pool?”

“First one there comes first.”

Skylar essentially bolted out of the car, and she ran around the house, discarding her clothes and shoes as she went. Elena tried to casually walk down to the pool, but seeing Skylar’s naked body standing on the edge of the pool was more than enough to send her running after her. As Skylar jumped in, Elena quickly shimmied out of her dress and kicked off her heels.

Standing by the pool with her toes over the edge, Elena watched Skylar swim to the other side of the pool. She leaned against the infinity wall as water flowed around her shoulders. Skylar arched an eyebrow at her.

“You joining me today?”

Elena answered by jumping into the pool with her. She swam over to her and wrapped her legs and arms around Skylar. Their lips met sweetly, and Elena savored the taste. Skylar moved her hand under Elena’s behind as she turned around and pinned her against the wall.

The pool was only five feet deep where they were, so both were able to stand easily. As Elena stood on her own, Skylar moved her kiss to her neck. Elena moaned as she felt Skylar’s fingertips graze her clit. She wrapped her arms around Skylar’s neck and pressed their foreheads together.

“I thought you wanted to come first?”

“I like watching you come.”

Skylar’s smirk grew as her fingers entered Elena. With her other hand, Skylar cupped Elena’s breast and ran her hardened nipple between her fingers. All the while, their kissing never slowed. In fact, the faster Skylar’s fingers rhythmically moved in and out of Elena, the more passionate their kissing grew. It didn’t take long for Elena to feel the orgasm building.

“Sky,” she moaned, breaking their kissing for the first time in what seemed like an hour. “Please.”

“Beg me some more.”

Elena’s sigh morphed into a louder moan as Skylar curled her fingers inside of her.

“Skylar, please.”

“Please, what?”

“Make me come.”

“Like this?”
