Nathan Abrams jammed his hands in his pockets to keep from reaching out to the nude nymph treading water below.

In his quest to find a little solitude around the close-knit Lake Placid community, Nathan often frequented his favorite places at odd hours. Once, he'd stumbled across an arthritic old man massaging his knee in the Hearthside pool at three a.m., and then there'd been the time he'd run into a janitor enjoying a swim after his late shift.

But not once in two years of nocturnal visits to the penthouse swim facility had the investments broker-turned-Adirondack rafting guide encountered a naked woman.

A naked woman who was sexy as hell with perfectly shaped pink nipples.

Obviously, he was dreaming. Or maybe he was having an exquisitely real episode of wishful thinking. Either way, the vision was a very, very good thing.

The woman sank back under the water as quickly as she'd shot out of it, assuring him this couldn't possibly be wishful thinking. He definitely wasn't ready to lose sight of that glistening, lithe body just yet.

Now only her heart-shaped face remained above the surface as she pinned him with a haughty glare from her chocolate brown eyes. "The Hearthside management doesn't allow gawking at the bathers, you know."

She hardly talked like a vision. Nathan rubbed his eyes to try and recapture the steamier version of the water nymph, but she continued to glower at him while keeping those enticing breasts firmly under water.

"I'm sure they'd amend that rule if they started allowing skinny-dipping while the pool is closed. Who could blame me for gawking?" It was difficult enough not to stare at her now when she was mostly submerged. She probably didn't know it, but the water was well lit.

And quite transparent.

He'd never be able to smell chlorine again without getting turned on.

"I am not skinny-dipping," she argued, her cheeks rapidly growing pink.

Lowering himself to one knee in front of her, Nathan moved closer. He studied the depths of the water with interest. "Ah, yes. I couldn't see the purple bathing suit bottom before, but now ?"

With a huff of outrage and a healthy splash kicked his way, the incensed mermaid took off underwater in the opposite direction from where he stood. And through her indignation, she effectively confirmed his growing suspicion.

She was all too real.
