She’s on her back and I’m hovering over her in a breath of time that doesn’t exist between us.
“Oli!”
“I changed my mind.” My hands slide up her silky legs, taking her dress with them. “You don’t need to spend time with your friends.” The moment my lips find hers, she relaxes her legs and I sink into her. A soft moan escapes as she wraps her long legs around my waist. It feels like her body is telling mine to lead the way, that she’ll go anywhere I go.
After I take her with the same depraved greed with which I stole her innocence, I watch her walk out my door. She looks back just once and I see stars in her emerald eyes. They’re filled with dreamy illusions, like she knows me, but … she doesn’t. I wish to God she did.
I never know what the sunrise will reveal. Sometimes the bright blue sky brings a sense of clarity. Sometimes I see hidden messages in the dull reddish-orange horizon. Other days the clouds morph into a question mark, no doubt symbolic of my recent state of being. Today, however, the message is clear. The woman who has infiltrated my life in every way possible is not going to Cape Cod with Kai and not me.
My bag is packed and loaded into my trunk. I lean against the driver’s door as Kai pulls up in his gray Honda.
“Kai, is it?” I offer my hand as he gets out. “I’m Oliver Konrad. We met at The Green Pot.”
He stares at my hand a moment before shaking it. “You up early just to tell Viv goodbye?”
“Actually, my schedule has changed and I’ll be going with you.” If it makes me a dick that I enjoy wiping Kai’s smug expression off his pretty boy face, then so be it. After treating me like a complete nobody when we first met and taking Vivian away from me with his needy, emotional, my-girlfriend-dumped-me saga, I think I’ve earned the right to dish out a little payback.
“Does Viv know? I just talked with her and she didn’t say anything.”
I can’t hide my smirk, and as if on cue, the red door across the street opens. “Hey, gorgeous!” I meet her as she tugs her bags down the stairs. She looks at Kai and it pisses me off to see her holding back. If he weren’t here she’d already be in my arms, tongue down my throat, and grinding against my always-hard-for-her dick. Instead, she gives me a chaste kiss on the lips and a weak smile.
“Hey, Oli. You didn’t have to get up just to see me off.”
I take her bags and walk them to my trunk.
“What are you doing?”
“Well, Viv, it looks like your friend is coming after all,” Kai says.
I don’t look at him in spite of the way he’s working overtime to set me off with his pissy cocksucker tone.
“You are?”
I toss her bags in with mine. “Yes, I am.” She rewards me with a high-pitched girly squeal and hugs me the way I had expected her to a few moments ago.
“What changed your mind?”
I look at Kai while hugging her to my chest. “Nothing in particular. I just didn’t want to be without you this weekend.”
Kai squints at me. It’s slight, but I can see it.
“Throw your bags in back, Kai. I’ll drive.” I wink.
Vivian walks to the passenger door and opens it. “Is this okay, Kai?”
My tongue has tripled in size from biting it so damn hard. I can’t believe she’s asking him if it’s okay. She coddles him like a child.
“Whatever, Viv.”
I don’t miss the roll of his eyes as he grabs his bag and sunglasses.
“You just made my whole weekend.” Vivian grins as I get in the car.
I squeeze her bare leg. “You made my whole night before you left last night.”
Her eyes bug out at my words as Kai gets in the backseat. “Not in front of—” she says between gritted teeth while motioning toward him with her head.
That’s sweet, it really is. I suppose a woman in this same situation would tear up and call her BFF to cry over the other woman vying for her man’s attention. On top of that she’d hold a gigantic grudge against said man like it’s his fault and withhold sex out of spite and jealousy. That’s not how things work in a man’s world.
There are no tears and BFFs waiting with tissues. There are dick measurements, pissing contests, and marking of territory. By the time we reach Cape Cod, Kai will not only know how many times I’ve had Vivian spread out on my bed, he’ll know how loud I make her scream. And there will be no withholding sex tonight. Just the opposite. I’ll take her so hard that the bed will be busting through the drywall while the mirrors and windows shatter into a million pieces.
Okay, it might not go exactly like that.
Chapter Thirteen
Testosterone
Vivian
The hour and a half drive to Cape Cod has been exhausting. I should feel elated having my two favorite guys with me for the weekend. I should, but I don’t.
As soon as the car stops, Kai jumps out and opens my door.
“Uh, thanks.” I smile.
“I’ll get the bags.” Oliver opens the trunk.
Kai follows me toward the house.
“Help him carry in the bags.” I turn back and glare at Kai.
He rolls his eyes and sulks back to the car.
“Flower!” Alex runs out the front door, nearly plowing me over with her enthusiasm. “How was the drive?”
“A nightmare. I should have left them both behind.”
“Cock fight?”
“Yep, and I have a feeling it’s not over.”
Alex giggles, looking over my shoulder. “I think you’re right.”
I turn to witness my sophisticated Harvard men playing tug-of-war with my bags. “See what I mean? Kai shared everything there is to know about me, I think he might have even mentioned my blood type.”
“Why?”
“I guess to prove he knows me.”
“What did Oliver do?”
“He groped me the whole way. Even my anger couldn’t stop my reaction to him. I almost had an orgasm from his possessive hand constantly feeling me up. It was embarrassing.”
“Like Dunkin’ Donuts embarrassing?”
“Touché. But anyway, I’m starting to see why Kate broke up with Kai.”
“What are you talking about? Kai broke up with her.”
The wrinkle of confusion on my face is obvious. “What do you—”
“I call dibs on the green room,” Kai says, walking past us and up the porch stairs.
“In your dreams. There’s no way the single guy is taking the largest room with the en suite bathroom. Sean and I already claimed it last night. Flower and Oliver can have the blue guest room and you’ll be in the den.”
“I’m not sleeping on that damn sofa sleeper!”
“Then pitch a tent on the beach, buddy, because that’s your only option.”
Oliver snakes his arm around my waist. “Alex, good to see you again.”
“Hey, Oliver. Glad you could make it.” She winks at me. “Come on inside, I’ll introduce you to Sean.”
As we walk inside I glance at my bags slung over Oliver’s shoulder. “I see you won.”
“Won what?”
I grin and shake my head. “Nothing.”
“Oliver, this is my boyfriend Sean.”
They shake hands. “Nice to meet you.”
“Thanks for the invite. What a great place.”
“It’s really not.” Kai emerges from the den. “There’s only two bedrooms, two bathrooms, the floors creak, and it’s old as sin.”
Sean laughs. “Well, for those of us who weren’t pampered growing up…” he gestures to Kai and Alex “…it’s paradise. My grandparents used to own it and when they died my parents decided to keep it for a vacation home. Occasionally they rent it out. Kai is right. It’s small and old, but the view is just as amazing as it is from the Kennedy compound.”
