Collins grinned as she saw him open the door, there were at least eight people who could have opened that door at any given moment and he'd been the one to open it, which made her feel good. "I hope I'm not too early." She smiled, swinging her towel over her shoulder. "You get anything done?" She asked, wondering if he might let something else slip.

Xander shook his head. "No you're just in time." He showed her in and closed the door behind them. "Aw Collins you know I can't tell you till then; well if I do then I'd have to kill you and then where would we be?" He laughed softly as he led the way to the back where a flight of stairs led to an underground indoor pool. "I'd offer to race you but I have a feeling you'd kick my ass." He glanced at her as he closed the sliding door and made his way to the chair he had been occupying before she had arrived. He removed his shirt and grabbed his goggles before moving closer to the edge of the pool, sliding his feet in.

Collins shook her head. "You'd be without a date and I'd be six feet under." She smiled and followed him to the underground, indoor pool. "I doubt it, you're legs are bigger than mine and you'd have that height advantage." She smiled and couldn't help but oggle him as he took his shirt off. "I like." She grinned, shrugged off her jacket, unbuttoned her jeans and slid them off and onto a chair. She pulled the tank top and the shorts off and then without a seconds hesitation she jumped into the pool and swam to the other side in one breath. "Feels good to be back in the pool."

Xander laughed. "Exactly my point!" He shrugged as he dropped himself into the water, sighing at the feeling. He moved effortlessly and reached the side opposite Collins before he looked at her, grinning. "Thanks for the compliment I guess?" It would have been a lie if he said he hadn't checked her out when she took off her clothes but he was either too polite or too shy to say anything about how great she looked. "Well even with those advantages, I feel slow from lack of practice." He waggled his eyebrows playfully. "Besides, I'd let you win because I like you."

Collins swam over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "I think you'd still manage to kick my butt, even if you do feel slow from lack of practice, but of course, if you let me win, then that would just be an entirely different story." She let him go, letting her fingers slide down his torso. "So what if I wanted to see who would win in a race? Would you really let me win or are you just saying that to be a gentleman, but still bring all your guns to the war in the end?" She raised an eyebrow and swam away from him backwards.

He froze when she wrapped her arms around him, knowing only her swimsuit kept skin from touching skin. "Well it depends; if you wanted an honest match and told me then I'd try and probably beat you. But if you wanted me to lose, then I'd lose for you." He smiled a bit when he felt her fingers dance along his bare torso. "I'm not ticklish you know..." And he wasn't, something that irked his family to know end; especially his twin who cried when she was tickled. He felt himself release a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding when she pulled away and suddenly he followed her towards the other end of the pool. He grinned when he caught her foot and ran the pad of his thumb along her sole. "Are you ticklish perchance?"

Collins giggled and shook her head. "I wasn't trying to see if you were ticklish." She admitted and as he caught her foot and ran his pad against the sole she shook her head. "You're out of luck." She giggled anyway and stole her foot back. "Were you hoping that I would be?"

Xander grinned and pulled her in when he grabbed her ankle. He wrapped an arm around her waist and smiled. "Just stating a fact then; well a bit... It would have been fun for me." He waggled his eyebrows playfully as he slowly moved to the other end of the pool, successfully cornering Collins against the edge. "So... " He wasn't sure what he was doing anymore; he had been prepared to ask her if she wanted to race but now, all he honestly wanted to do was hold her against him.

Collins gave him a nod. "I see." She laughed and shook her head. "It's always a lot of fun finding a person who is ticklish and tickling them to no end." She grinned, as she found herself in a corner, she didn't mind one bit. She spread her arms, placing her elbows on the edge of the pool. "So?" She asked, not ashamed that she was staring at him and all of his gloriousness.

He grinned; he could relate to that. It was one of the few rituals he and his siblings partook in; tickling Alex till she was in tears. It sounded terrible but it was hilarious if you watched. "I have to agree with that; my sister is a testament to how much I enjoy torturing people with their ticklish spots." A blush graced his cheeks when he noticed how unabashedly she was looking at him. He chuckled to hide the tension he was feeling. "Like what you see, Collins?"

"Oh if only Garret were ticklish, Grady and I would be in hog heaven tickling him till he cried." She smiled. "I'm pretty sure we've partook in tickle wars and wound up crying ourselves from laughing so much." She giggled, just thinking about it. She blushed a little too as his face turned a light shade of pink. "I do, I feel like such a creep for staring at you, but I just can't help it." She couldn't help but let her eyes flick downward. "I'm doing everything in my power to stop from throwing myself at you..."

Xander laughed at that. "And I'm pretty sure he wouldn't suffer so many physical attacks from Aya if he was ticklish; she'd use that to her advantage." He bit his lip to keep the smile on his face from getting any wider. "I'll take that as a compliment then?" He tilted his head and watched the emotions play on her beautiful features and he had the strongest urge to kiss her senseless. "Why?" Honestly, he was having the same problem but the only reason he stopped his instincts from acting was that he wanted to make sure that she wanted it just as much as he did.

"It's a shame Garret isn't a better actor, he could pretend to be ticklish to ward off potential violent attacks but he's such a horrible liar and actor." Though why she was trying to cook up ways to help save him from a good sense being knocked into him she didn't know. She stared at him as if the answer to his non descript question were obvious. Why? Because you are hot and I'm drooling over you like a dog drools over a piece of steak. Why? Because if I three myself at you every time I felt the urge you'd be damaged on several places and I'd come across as a psycho. She drew one arm back into the water and pushed off the wall toward him. She gently placed her hands inside of his and let her eyes flick upward to his lips. Her fingers laced with his and simultaneously her fingers touched the bare skin above his swim trunks.

The silence between them was unnerving because of the tension that seemed to thicken with every second that they spent together. Xander watched her eyes move to his mouth as she drew even closer to him. A tiny ghost of a smirk found its way to his mouth as he leaned in just a bit closer, knowing he was pushing his limits and probably breaking every rule in his self-made gentleman's code of conduct. His eyes lowered to her full mouth and his hunger for her exploded into millions of fireworks inside him. "I'm going to kiss you now; you better pull away if you don't want me to because I don't think I can control myself any longer."

Collins stared up into his blue eyes and begged him to kiss her, she wanted to taste his lips on hers, she wanted to touch his skin all over and kiss him until she couldn't breath anymore. She never expected this quiet, shy, guy to be so forward with her and though she liked the quietness in him, she also loved that he was full of surprises and that he could break in and out of that persona. She lifted a finger to his lips, to quiet him, and then looped that hand around his neck, with hopes that the message she wanted to send would come across. Shh, kiss me.
