she coasted on a wave of wonder and awe at what had just happened between them. She didn’t have a lot of experience in making love, but she knew that her body had never reacted or felt like that before and it felt like the first stirrings of a passion within her, hitherto unknown.
    She allowed him to carry her to shore and place her on a large flat rock that looked made for sunbathing. He climbed on the flat surface next to her and for the next few minutes they said nothing, as he took her hand and they lay basking in the sunlight like a couple of lizards. Cassie’s hair was spread out around her like a halo and she dried quickly in the hot sun. She could feel her hair curling and crinkling as it dried. Damn she thought, I really must use my straighteners on it this evening or I will start to look like an unkempt, wild woman. Feeling a shadow pass over her eyes, she opened them to see Marco half leaning over her, his green eyes alive with humor.
    ‘A mermaid for sure with her golden hair spread about her in the sun, or perhaps Lady Godiva. Do you think you could ride back without your clothes on, I am really liking the look,’
    ‘Oh yes, and how is that going to feel on my ‘delicate areas’ as I think you referred to them earlier?’ she smirked up at him.
    ‘I hope that those areas are going to become even more delicate with my attention,’ he whispered, his eyes half closed, gazing at her like a cat with a mouse.
    ‘Oh no you’re not, not yet, no way’ said Cassie, alarmed by the sudden passion filling his eyes.’  Besides I have to get back to the villa, we are going into Cefalu later and the girls will be expecting me.’ This was not strictly true as she and Liz and Kat were not actually going into town until late afternoon, but if the truth be known, she needed some time away from Marco right now, to sort out her tangled emotions, or perhaps just lie by the pool and dream about him all day. These conflicting feelings were unusual for Cassie, as she normally didn’t like someone else in control, however she recognized that on some primeval level she was also thrilled by the fact that Marco was able to dominate her. But no more of this right now, she thought, sitting up suddenly and swinging her legs off the rock and onto the pebbly sand. She was sure that Marco’s eyes were drilling into her as she walked up to the tree where she had left her clothes, and turning around, she confirmed it as he whistled appreciatively.
    ‘Cassandra, you have a perfect bum you know that? Perfect rounds like peaches. I would like to take a bite of them right now.’ He grinned at her lasciviously, lying propped up on one arm on the rock looking like a golden lion basking in the sun.
    ‘Well these ‘peaches’ are for looking not touching okay. Now are you going to perve at me all morning, or can we get a move on?’ She said cheekily pulling on her jodhpurs. She had lost her panties in the water thanks to Marco, but thankfully her long hair fell over her breasts as she bent over to slip on her socks and boots otherwise she was sure Marco would have been beside her in a flash, bent on mischief. He just laughed in reply as he climbed off the rock and strode towards the still patiently waiting horses. Cassie slipped the tee shirt over her head and secured the chinstrap on her hat. There, all set, thought Cassie, clothes make the man as they say, although this truism didn’t seem to bother Marco as he strode around like a Greek God trying to locate his clothes which had been strewn haphazardly all over the place. Cassie couldn’t help staring at him, he really had the most fantastic bod she thought, and doesn’t he just know it. He’s as confident and as strutting as a peacock.
    She turned away quickly as Marco glanced over at her, grinning wickedly as he pulled on his riding pants. Seems his underwear disappeared too thought Cassie, laughing to herself as she patted Stella’s neck. He better tuck himself in well,
