His eyes widened as he opened the door and stepped into the yard. Rob hadn't been joking; everyone roamed around with drinks clutched in their hands – and not a stitch of clothing! He'd never seen so many nude bodies in his life. Case felt his cheeks flush; he felt so out of place as he looked down at his jeans and polo shirt.
As he surveyed the crowd, he couldn't find one person that he knew. He'd thought there might be someone that Rob would have invited from the newspaper, but if there was, he hadn't seen them.
Near the pool he caught the outline of Rob climbing the ladder and getting out of the blue tinted water. The magnificence of his body had Case holding his breath in wonder. He'd only half imagined what Rob would look like without clothing, and now he had the real thing, in the flesh, standing a few feet away.
