Ryan

Ryan stepped to the side of the pool, and with a wide smile and a wave to Dane, he dived in. His body carved through the water like a razor through silk. He swam underwater almost the entire length of the pool, his dark shape spearing through the cool blue like a marine mammal. Barely a metre from the opposite end, he surfaced in an explosion of water and bubbles. After wiping his eyes, he looked to see if Dane was still watching him.


For a few seconds, they stared at each other through the glass until Dane became aware of the protrusion at the front of his trousers. He glanced down and saw how noticeable it was, then moved away from the window, his heart beating fast and his mind filled with images of Ryan naked.
