Dedicated to my beloved Master JustaSCOUNDREL, who set me free forever with his collar and his love.

I cut through the water, beginning to feel the burning in my shoulders, my thighs, my lungs, knowing the warm bliss is not far behind. Counting my laps as the bright sun shimmers around me, my arms cooling slightly in the soft breeze each time they break the surface. The laps go by, one by one, 20, 40, until I reach my mile. I feel so good this morning that, despite the usual marks on my body, I am tempted to push further. But I know you will be back soon, and want to be ready for you. I push through one hard final lap and climb up the ladder, kneeling on the deck to pick up my towel.
I stretch in the warming sun, the breeze raising goose bumps over my skin. Checking the small clock on a nearby table, I see I have plenty of time before your return from town. I would so love to strip off my swimsuit and lie in the sun for a while, but I know there are workmen around, helping to restore our ramshackle castle, and you wouldn't like me showing myself to them; enough talk goes on already. I wonder what they would think of my marks, both temporary AND permanent. The thought makes me smile as I trace your brand on my hip.
I walk to the alcove by the pool and open the gate to another area we added on so I wouldn't have to drip through the halls to wash up in our room after a swim. As much I love our long soaks together I still prefer a shower, which you were so kind to give me. The area is fenced for privacy, with brightly flowered vines already twining in around it. There's no roof, since I love the sky here so much. The walls and floor are brightly tiled in watery shades of blue, with shelves for my soap and shampoo, and a wicker basket for towels. The light gauze dress I laid out before my swim softly flutters in the breeze.
I turn the water on, and the large showerhead trickles, then splashes to life. Quickly I peel off my suit, rinsing it carefully and setting it aside to dry on a rack. I step into the spray, stretching as the warmth soothes me. The water is so soft, collected in a rain barrel and heated by the sun. I reach for the shampoo and work it into my hair, smiling at how long it's grown, by your request.
Next I reach for the soap and slowly lather up, smiling at the rainbows the spray makes. I soap my face and plunge it into the stream, and jump as your arms wrap around me. Wiping the droplets quickly from my eyes I smile, leaning into you and tilting my head back for a kiss.
"You got back early, Sir," I giggle, as your strong hands stroke my soapy sides.
"I never left," you explain as you cup my breasts and pull me tighter against you. "I got involved with one of the plasterers, explaining how I wanted the repairs to be done in our bedroom. I saw you swimming as I got ready to leave, and decided not to go today."
I can feel your hardness against my ass and wriggle against you. I feel as well as hear you rumble with pleasure against me.
