Chapter 1

Maintaining my own business turned out to be quite a challenging task, especially since it focused on cybersecurity. In addition to the usual difficulties and complexities that come with running a billion-dollar enterprise, I constantly had to be on guard for the next cyber threat. By the end of the day, I was completely exhausted and had no interest in socializing. That's why I chose to live at Avalon.
This luxurious residence provided me with all the necessary amenities, from dedicated maids to convenient valet parking, which made my daily life much simpler. The environment at Avalon was always calm and peaceful, allowing me to relax after long and tiring workdays. Additionally, my dear friend, Spencer Maxwell, lived just a few floors above me, making it easy for us to spend time together.
To sum it up, my life outside of work was comfortable and filled with luxury. Avalon had everything I desired, and within its walls, I could easily escape the pressures of work and enjoy a cozy and peaceful atmosphere.
Before diving into the pool, I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what was to come. With a burst of energy, I propelled my body across the water's surface, moving as fast as lightning. Without a doubt, the infinity pool on the fifty-first floor was my favorite amenity in the entire building. I had a deep love for swimming that dated back to my earliest memories. It was my skill in the pool during high school that earned me a spot at Princeton University, where I proudly joined their esteemed swimming team.
I often rented out the pool at Avalon for intense practice sessions. In those moments, I would transport myself back to my college days, mentally recreating intense races and pushing myself to surpass my previous achievements. Swimming was more than just a hobby for me; it was a constant companion that kept my mind sharp, my body in top shape, and my connection with the world finely tuned.
As I reached the edge of the pool, I raised my head above the water and noticed someone amidst the rippling poolside ambiance. Despite the distorted view through my goggles, I couldn't help but be captivated by her stunning physique and the graceful beauty of her long legs. It was Skye, Spencer's daughter, who had just returned from college. I took off my goggles and shook my hair to get rid of the water, welcoming her presence with delight, especially considering her choice of a revealing bikini. Even though I had reserved the pool for my own use for a few hours, her company was a pleasant surprise.
In summary, my swims in the fifty-first-floor infinity pool were not only about physical fitness but also about mental rejuvenation. And on this particular occasion, Skye's unexpected appearance added an extra layer of enjoyment to my aquatic pursuits.
I glanced at Skye as she approached me, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Hey. Would it be okay if I joined you for a refreshing swim?" she asked.
I ran my fingers through my damp hair and replied, "Absolutely, go ahead."
With grace and ease, she lowered herself into the inviting water, letting out a contented sigh. "Ah, this feels so good," she exclaimed.
I nodded in agreement and inquired, "Are you relieved to be back from college?"
Her fingers traced along the edge of the pool, and she sighed wistfully. "Yeah, it's nice to have fewer obligations, but I guess it was inevitable."
I chuckled, understanding her sentiment. "Tell me about it. I'd do anything to go back to Princeton."
She glanced at me, a playful spark in her eyes. "Ah, yes. The Princeton guy. I almost forgot," she teased.
I couldn't help but join in the banter. "Well, I don't know if it's a good idea for a Yale student and a Princeton student to be in the same pool. Things might get interesting," I quipped.
Skye laughed and playfully splashed some water towards me. "Okay, maybe you're right. I might be a bit rusty, but I'm sure you could show me a thing or two."
I grinned at her and leaned back, floating on my back, relishing the soothing warmth of the water and the delightful sound of her laughter. As I gazed up at the sky, I felt a sense of gratitude for this moment, for the chance to connect with someone new in such a picturesque setting.
Shaking my head, I tried to push away the distracting thoughts that crept into my mind. This was neither the time nor the place to be captivated by a beautiful girl, especially one who happened to be the daughter of my father's colleague. But despite my best efforts, I couldn't ignore the growing attraction building within me.
With a leisurely stroke, I swam towards the edge of the pool, observing as Skye submerged herself beneath the water's surface before resurfacing. The droplets cascading down her body as she emerged made her resemble a mesmerizing water nymph from ancient mythology. Her barely-there bikini, held together by delicate strings, left little to the imagination. Turning to face her, I met her gaze as she opened her eyes, a captivating smile playing on her lips. Despite the circumstances, I couldn't deny the allure she held, even though pursuing anything beyond friendship felt inherently wrong.
She gracefully swam across the pool towards me, and I could feel the anticipation building within me as she drew near. Her fingers traced over the contours of my well-defined muscles, a testament to the hours spent honing my physique. "How much swimming did it take to get these?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.
I locked eyes with her and smirked, my voice laced with a hint of playfulness. "Among other things," I replied.
Intrigued, she leaned in closer, her eyes sparkling with interest. "What other things?" she inquired.
I paused for a moment, my gaze lingering on her enticing figure. "Just the usual daily routine, hitting the gym, watching my diet," I responded, trying to maintain a semblance of composure.
As she cast an alluring glance at my chest, a surge of desire coursed through me. Despite the undeniable wrongness of it all, I couldn't help being aroused by her perfect form, barely concealed by the skimpy bikini. The longing for her grew stronger with each passing second, even though I knew that pursuing anything beyond friendship would be a mistake.
Standing there in the water, the tension between us became palpable. I fought to regain control, resisting the overwhelming urge to reach out and touch her, to feel her velvety skin against mine. Her fingers ran through her wet hair, causing her breasts to sway provocatively in front of me.
Taking a deep breath, I struggled to steady my voice as I spoke. "Skye," I said, my voice low and steady, "I can't help but notice you've been acting more flirtatious lately. Is there something you want to tell me?"
While I stood at the edge of the pool, I couldn't help but feel a strong attraction towards her as she gracefully dove into the water and resurfaced, her body glistening with droplets. Her swimsuit was revealing, with minimal coverage that accentuated her curves. It was a forbidden desire, considering she was the daughter of my closest friend.
As she approached me, a shiver ran down my spine, creating a tension that made my swim trunks feel uncomfortable. Despite the knowledge that this was wrong, her flirtatious gestures and mischievous smile made it difficult for me to resist my urges.
We stood so close that we were almost touching, the sound of the water surrounding us intensifying the sexual tension. She ran her fingers through her wet hair, giving me a seductive look. My breathing became heavy and erratic as I struggled to control myself. However, she surprised me by expressing her own desires, admitting that she wanted me.
In that moment, all traces of self-restraint vanished. I turned towards her, enveloping her in my embrace, pulling her closer to me. With a gentle hand, I tilted her head back and leaned in for a passionate kiss. As our lips met, I surrendered completely to my desires.
I relished the exquisite taste of her lips as I gently parted them with my tongue, savoring the softness of her mouth. Slowly, my hand explored her body, tracing her curves, and slipping beneath the water to caress her bottom. She responded with a subtle moan, her fingers finding their way to the waistband of my swim trunks, easing the tension in my muscles. As her touch grazed the tip of my manhood, a surge of anticipation coursed through my body, causing me to tremble with desire.
Craving more of her, I pulled her closer, deepening our passionate kiss, exploring the depths of her mouth with my tongue. My lips trailed down to her neck and chest, reveling in the velvety texture of her skin. She arched back, granting me access to her firm nipples. Unable to resist temptation, I knelt down, capturing one of her nipples in my mouth. The taste of her flesh was exhilarating, igniting a fire within me, causing my manhood to stir with excitement.
As my tongue danced around her sensitive nipple, she began to emit soft moans, her hands gripping the waistband of my trunks. With my free hand, I lifted her other breast, massaging it gently. Feeling her hand slide inside my trunks, I let out a deep growl, biting down gently and tracing my tongue along her flesh. The sensation of her delicate touch on my manhood was almost unbearable, and I moaned with pleasure, my body craving more.
With her fingers stroking my shaft, my breathing grew heavy, and my heart raced with desire. Despite knowing the impropriety of our actions, I found myself unable to resist her allure. Every nerve in my body was aflame with her electrifying touch. Holding her close, our bodies pressing against each other, I could feel the intensifying heat between us.
Aware of the wrongness of our actions, I couldn't deny the overwhelming desire I felt for her. Her irresistible allure and the way she touched me drove me to the brink of madness with lust. Though I knew it was imprudent to give in to these desires, I found myself unable to resist.
As she continued to stroke me, a primal growl escaped my lips as I pressed her against the pool wall. Our hungry kisses grew more fervent, my hands roaming her body, exploring every inch of her. The sound of water lapping against our bodies only added to the intensity of the moment.
I was well aware of the risks we were taking, but in that moment, consequences seemed irrelevant. All I craved was her, and I was willing to face any repercussions to have her in my arms.
