Free Seducing Peaches by Crystal Smith

went to the American Cancer Society.  Tom’s Dad had passed away unexpectedly from lung cancer.  As Tom spoke of his dad, Lois could see the hurt in his eyes.  The love that he had for his dad.  That he still had.
          Then as the evening went on, the subject of their conversation became less serious.  From favorite movies, to music, to colors.
          It was wonderful and made Lois relax.  No thoughts of what was to come, what happened, the incident earlier in the evening.  Just Tom and her.
          Lois didn’t know if it was the champagne or her nerves, or just the evening in its entirety, but she was so hot, and lightheaded.  “Let’s get you some air.”  She didn’t argue with him as he led her outside.  They walked out and immediately again Lois was impressed. The in ground pool they were standing by was absolutely the biggest she had ever seen.
         “Do you swim?”
         “Sometimes.  Do you feel like a swim?”
         “No, I don’t have my suit.”  Lois looked up at him and his eyes had changed to fire.  She opened her mouth but then closed it quickly and looked away.
         “Peaches, can I ask you something?”
         “I suppose so, as long as it doesn’t involve what I will or will not do for you?”  Oh shit, my mouth.  Open wide and insert both feet.
         “Well, now that I know you think about it, we can explore that later.  Who was that guy tonight?”  Lois had dreaded this part.  Somehow she knew that at some point or another he was going to ask about it.  She didn’t want to answer his questions but she felt like she should.
         “Just a nobody.”
         “Didn’t seem to be a nobody.  Tell me.  Do you owe him something?”
         “No!  I don’t owe him a damn thing.”  Lois was pissed immediately.  It took her a minute before she could say anything else.  “He is just an ex that doesn’t deserve to be walking free that’s all.”
         “What did he do?”
         “I don’t want to talk about it Tom.”  Her voice was docile.
         “Peaches, you obviously need help when it comes to dealing with him.  What did he do?”  Tom lowered his voice.
         “I said I don’t want to talk about, mention him again and you’ll go swimming.”  Tom began smirking almost telling her yeah right, you wouldn’t dare and again she knew she was in trouble now.
         “Swimming huh?  I haven’t been in something wet since I met you.”  Something inside her made her do it.  With all the muscle in her body she shoved him, right into the pool.  Too bad he had expected it and grabbed her arm at the last second.
          When she came up and wiped the water from her eyes.  “What the hell did you do that for?”
         “Isn’t it obvious.  I want you wet with me.”  He slowly stalked toward her.
          Oh.  This is it.  He’s going to make his move.  Oh no, not yet.  Look at me I’m a mess.  I can’t do this yet.  There are people around.  She splashed water playfully at him hoping he would stop.  He didn’t. 
         “You started this Lois, now let me finish it.  Take off your gown.”  Lois stared into his eyes.  She was stunned at his boldness.  Everything began going black.
    *****
         “Lois, Lois, wake up.  Talk to me.”  I hear you, but I can’t see you.   Then a blurred image. Lois blinked her eyes a few more times and there he was kneeling above her.
          Lois looked around and people were staring at her.  She was lying on the ground.  Immediately she felt a weight on her chest constricting her air.  She had to get out of there.  Whispering to Tom she questioned him. “Tom, what is going on?”
         “You don’t remember?”
         “No, why am I wet?”  He looked at her very concerned.  “Mother, can you call Dr. Jamishy have him come at once.”  He drew her into his arms and carried her into the
