After school, I followed Harper back to her place as I parked in my normal spot along the curb."Do you want to swim before dinner?" Harper asked as she unlocked the front door.It was a surprisingly hot day for Portland today and I could use a cool down after another run-in with Asher. He'd be home later and God only knew what he'd do to piss me off again. A cool down was just what I needed."Yes, definitely."We went up to Harper's room and changed into our bikinis. I basically had my own dresser of clothes here and she had a dresser at my place too. We were inseparable and always together, so it only made sense that we had our own spot for clothes at each other's houses.The house was still quiet when we left her room and headed for the pool outback. I was glad that Asher wasn't home yet and prayed like hell that he wouldn't show up until later. I seriously didn't want to have another run-in with him so soon after the first one.Harper threw on some upbeat music and then we jumped
"Hey, relax," Jake rasped as he lowered his face to my neck and bit me. I squirmed but he held me tight before he sucked on my neck next. His free hand slid over my body beneath the water and I held my breath in fear."Jake, let me go," I hissed. I tried to get away again as I twisted and bucked in his arms. "Get off!""That's what I'm trying to do," he laughed as his arm tightened around me. I could feel his half erection on my backside and I froze.There was zero desire that ran through my body. Jake was always doing shit like this to me. Always. It was as if he felt like he could do whatever he wanted to me and get away with it."Jake," Asher warned as his eyes turned dark and menacing, "let her go.""What?!" Jake protested as he bit my neck again and tried to grab my breast.I cried out and dug my nails into his arm. I felt totally violated and right there in front of him."I said let her go!" Asher barked as he swam toward us. Jake immediately released me, but not before his arm
I seriously could not think straight today, but who could blame me? Asher Creed had totally hit on me last night and there wasn't a single thing that I could do about it. Except maybe continue to have wet dreams about him and secretly touch myself in the bath while I thought about him.I knew I was a horrible friend for having these thoughts, but I wasn't breaking the rule, right? We said we couldn't date each other's brothers; there was no rule that said we couldn't fantasize about them.Ugh. I was going to hell, wasn't I?"Hey, my parents' anniversary is today so they're going away for the night and Asher just texted me saying that he's throwing a party tonight. You're still coming over right?" Harper asked as we finished our final class of the day.Shit. Their parents were going out of town and he's throwing a party. There would be alcohol there and I sometimes couldn't handle myself around that crap. I was also still fantasizing over a guy I couldn't have and when I mixed alcohol
The house was pumping when I arrived at Harper's. I had to park all the way down the street and walk in these now painful heels and it sucked. Guess I should have arrived earlier if I wanted my spot.When I reached the porch, Tate and Harper were there flirting up a storm with each other. Then she saw me and nearly fell from the porch railing."Yay!! You came!" She ran down the steps and hugged me.I laughed as I hugged her back. Tate's brows rose when I looked in his direction and felt a bit self-conscious."Jake is going to lose his shit when he sees you," he chuckled as he shook his head. "Are you trying to kill that boy?"I shrugged with a laugh.This outfit was obviously for him and to secretly shove in Asher's face, but we'll keep that little bit of information to ourselves."Where can I get something to drink?" I asked as I looked around at all the familiar faces. I waved at several of them I knew from school as they waved back. I may not be popular by any means, but everyone k
I placed my hands on Jake's as I ground my hips harder into him. Jake leaned down and began to suck and nibble on my neck as I closed my eyes and let out a moan. My plan was just beginning as I grabbed his hand and trailed him up my body before he took over.My left arm wrapped around his neck as he continued to explore my body. Then his hand slipped into the front slit of my dress and I knew he was about to expose me. My eyes whipped open and right into Asher's. There was so much rage in his eyes that I almost felt guilty.Asher grabbed an innocent bystander's drink right out of their hands as he chugged it down and then tossed the empty cup back at the kid. He never pulled his glare from us, and when I felt Jake close to revealing my breast to the whole party, I spun in his arms."Let's not show the whole school, yeah?"He grinned as he pulled his bottom lip between his teeth. "Just me?"I nodded. "Yeah, just you."Jake grabbed my ass with one hand and squeezed, while his other hand
I woke the next morning with the blanket still over me as I got out of bed and realized my dress was haphazardly clung to my body. Then I smiled at the memories of last night. That was the best sex I had ever had. It was just too bad that it was with Jake. I never knew he was that good in bed. I mean out of bed. Whatever, I knew what I meant.My heart sank when I looked over and saw the condom still in its wrapper on the side of the bed. How the hell did I forget that?! Damn it! What was I thinking?!I straightened my dress and hair as I noticed that Jake's bag was gone. He really was a hit 'em and quit 'em kind of guy, wasn't he? No snuggling required, which was fine with me. I only wanted one night with Jake and nothing more.When I opened the door, I could hear Asher, Harper, and Tate upstairs in the kitchen. They better have breakfast up there because I was starved. I climbed the stairs and was greeted with silence the moment I entered the kitchen.Harper grinned, Tate winked, and
"Hey," I answered as I closed the door and blocked my view from Asher's truck backing out of my driveway."Hey, so Tate asked me to be his girlfriend last night. Can you believe that?! His girlfriend!" Harper shrieked."What?" That was serious news. Tate didn't have girlfriends; none of the boys did. Tate, Jake, and Asher weren't the boyfriend type. "Did you say yes?" I finally asked.She giggled. "Of course I did!! You know how much I like him!""That's great," I laughed."Really. I'm so happy for you." And I really was, but I couldn't help but think that I would lose time with my bestie now. When Tate was around, I was nonexistent."So, I hope you don't mind, but I invited him over for our movie night."There it was. She was already including him in on our time. "Sure. Yeah, that's totally fine." I went into the kitchen to find some breakfast. "I'll see you later then, yeah?"We said our goodbyes and hung up. I really hoped I didn't start becoming the third wheel for everything now.
"You going to share any of that blanket?" He asked as he cocked a brow at me."Get your own!" I didn't want to share anything with him. I did plenty of that last night. Shit, here comes the shivers again. He didn't even have to physically touch me and I was affected by him."It's big enough for both of us." He reached over and took some of the blanket with force until both of us were covered. His knee pressed against me again and I held my breath. Lord, help me.I couldn't pay attention to the movie at all. All I could think about was his knee against mine as I bit my lower lip and stole glances at him out the corner of my eye.He was so damn hot. I wanted to trail kisses down his jaw, over his neck, and further down. I didn't get to explore at all last night and now I was upset that I didn't get to put my hands or lips on him. That would have been solid gold when I thought about him later as I touched myself."Watch the movie." He grinned.I jumped and whipped my head back toward the
