“Ryan! Sadie!”
“I was quiet!”
Sadie yells while Ryan laughs.
“My best friend!”
Harper yells.
“My sister!”
Ryan argues.
“Guys!” Sadie falls into fits of laughter and then,
“Wow, is that your lakehouse?” I pull into the driveway and smile, proud.
“Yup.”
It’s right on the edge of the lake, has two docks, a boat, three jet skis, seven paddle boards, and a kayak.
It’s two stories of perfection with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the lake.
An outdoor grill and small pool and hot tub are in the back, surrounded by a natural waterfall and trees.
It’s fucking ridiculous and has been in three magazine articles for architecture.
Sometimes, it’s nice being rich, what can I say?
“Master’s ours.” I kill the engine.
“But the other four rooms are nice and have balconies, so you won’t be complaining.” Sadie claps her hands and jumps out of the Jeep, and Harper follows.
Both girls start sprinting toward the cabin, leaving me and Ryan behind to unload the Jeep.
“They realize they can’t get in without us, right?”
Ryan asks.
The girls start complaining.
I laugh.
“Well, they do now.”
“Thanks for this, man.”
Ryan grabs two bags.
“I think we all needed this.”
“Anytime, you know that.” I slap him on the back.
“It’s been a rough year.”
“Yeah,”
he agrees and takes a deep breath.
“But it finally feels like things are calming down, you know?”
“Totally.”
I lie, thinking back to the detective.
“Things have taken a turn.”
“Completely,”
he agrees.
“Plus, I think I’m getting fucking laid tonight.”
“Wear a condom,”
I tease.
“Thanks, sexed, I’ll get right on that.”
He rolls his eyes.
“She’s been…”
“What?”
I ask.
He shakes his head.
“Nothing, I’ve just had to work for it.”
“Makes the sex better.”
I shrug.
“Plus, once you go there, there’s no going back.”
He makes a face.
“You saying that from experience?”
I say nothing.
I just smile and slap him on the back, then whisper,
“Never fucked so much in my entire life”
“Mother fucker!”
He yells while I start running toward the cabin laughing, Ryan hot on my ass.
I barely make it to the front door before he tries to tackle me, but by then we’re both so excited to be here, he lets me go and I type the code to get in, shoving the door open.
Harper gasps.
I wrap an arm around her.
“Welcome to paradise, sexy.”
“Already had it,”
she answers, standing on her tiptoes and pressing a sweet kiss to my mouth.
And the guilt that was gone, reappears with a vengeance.
Harper
“This is the life…”
I stretch my arms wide and lay out in my bikini next to Sadie, who’s already drinking a hard cideryou know, at eleven in the morning.
Last night we all crashed pretty early after watching movies and while I really wanted to just blow Easton until his voice was hoarse, it was kind of nice to just..lay next to him, to know that I was safe, and that we were going to be okay.
I woke up to him diving between my legs and pinning them apart so that was also..um, nice.
He said he didn’t want to wait until breakfast and who am I to stop him from getting what he wants.
I smile to myself.
“Wow, slut.”
Sadie laughs.
“I know that look.
Good night?”
“Good morning.”
I shrug and watch the boys as they jet ski across the lake, splashing each other.
As much as I want to barf, my brother does have a nice body, which I’m sure helps in the whole Sadie department, but Easton? Man, his six pack may as well be an eight pack as he stands up and spins the jet ski around, laughing.
I missed him laughing so much.
Sadie clears her throat.
“So…” My eyebrow arches.
“So?”
“Um…”
She adjusts her ponytail, then sets down her drink.
“Can I tell you about my night?”
“Am I going to be traumatized for life?”
“No.”
She blushes.
“I mean, maybe.
I don’t know, forget it.”
“No, no, no.”
I take a deep breath.
“Just tell me.”
“Are you sure?” No.
“Yes, my job as your best friend is to be sure, but will I need alcohol for this?”
She shrugs.
“It’s your brother.”
“Be right back.” I jump up and run to the mini fridge, grab a drink, and come back.
“Okay, ready.”
She exhales and looks out onto the lake, then back at me.
“Did you know…um…wow, okay, I’m just going to come out and say it…
did you know Ryan’s a virgin?”
I spit out my drink.
I can’t help it.
“No, there’s no way, no, just no.”
“Yeah, just yeah.” She shifts uncomfortably.
“So, like, we’ve messed around a lot, I mean a lot.
If there was an Olympic medal for messing around”
I hold up my hand.
“yeah got it, no need for details.”
“Sorry.”
She blushes.
“I just, is there something wrong with me?”
“No!”
I shout, making her jump.
“It’s not you.
I mean not at all, have you talked to him about it?”
“Yes!”
She sighs.
“And he’s hard, trust me it’s not..that.”
I squeeze my eyes shut.
