women.
    Ben followed her gaze and laughed. They certainly were a hot bunch, he had to agree.
    “What are you wearing anyway?” Ben knew their time was running out.
    “A bikini just like them.”
    Ben frowned and grasped the corner of her ratty shirt in his hand.
    “No one said we couldn’t wear anything else.” Renee pushed her feet against his legs and freed herself from his grasp.
    Ben shivered despite the warm water surrounding him. So she was wearing a bathing suit underneath her clothing. She was teasing him…for sure. She must be the type of woman who wanted to draw a man in only to push him away. He would have to be careful with her. The other women were slowly lowering themselves into the pool, taking precautions to keep their hair dry. They weren’t leaving anything to the imagination. Ben would be much better off with one of them.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
     
    The beginning of the date went better than Renee expected. She didn’t plan on pushing Ben into the pool, but he was asking for it. The way he stood so close to the edge with his little drink, trying to ogle her through her cover-up to see what she had to offer underneath it. He deserved what he got…and more.
    Renee enjoyed the rest of the afternoon. A pool volleyball game broke out and Renee found herself on the opposite side of the net as Ben. It was her against Ben because the other women moved slowly to avoid getting their hair and makeup wet. Renee also wondered if they restricted their motions so nothing would pop out of their tiny tops.
    Renee was glad on more than one occasion that she covered up the bikini she wore with her regular clothing. She was comfortable in the water, out of the pool and everywhere in between. After the volleyball game, Ben took the women to the side one by one. Instead of lying by the pool and sunning herself like the others, Renee played.
    She swam a few laps, but once she got tired, she did handstands to see how long she could hold her feet in the air. When she no longer thought she could outdo her time, she did flips in the water. It reminded her of swimming as a child and though she was alone in the pool, she was having a blast. Renee had goals for the experience, but life was short, and she decided to have as much fun as possible.
    As the date neared its end, and the sun began to dip below the horizon, Renee wondered if she would get another chance to speak with Ben. She didn’t really care other than the fact that wherever Ben went, the cameras followed. If she wanted more screen time to make an impression on the audience, she would have to spend time with him.
    Renee finally got out of the water, and a chill ran down her spine. She wrapped a big white towel around her shoulders. She was going to have to ride back to the studio and then drive home in the clothes she was wearing, and she wanted to dry off.
    “Renee.” A voice called her from the other side of the pool. She glanced up. Ben beckoned her. So that’s how he got his women. He made a little hand gesture and expected them to follow orders. Renee wiped her face dry as she scoffed. She’d go to him because this was a TV show, but if he had any illusions of having her in his life, he would have to work harder.
    Renee walked around the pool, holding the towel tightly. Ben stood when she approached and gestured toward the chair across from him. As soon as Renee sat down, she noticed cameras staring at her.
    “You seemed to have a fun day.” Ben gestured toward the water. Renee wondered if he caught glimpses of her antics while he spoke with the other women.
    “You too.” Renee directed her gaze across the pool at the bikini clad women who finally started to put their cover-ups back on.
    “You cold?” Ben scooted his chair closer to hers.
    Renee shivered. “No.” She would have bet big money he used that particular line several other times during the date to get his hands on half-naked women. It wouldn’t work on her.
    “Of course not. Okay, Renee.
