“Caleb!”
“Don’t start a war you can’t win.”
He plunged my head under again, holding me down for a few seconds.
“You done?”
“Never!”
The crowd began cheering him on, only triggering Caleb to keep dunking my head until he finally let me go.
“I told you, sweetheart, don’t start something you can’t finish.”
“You bully!”
He smiled. “I thought you wanted me to have fun?”
“By trying to drown me?”
“By getting you wet.”
I didn’t hesitate in arguing, “I was wet before you got here, thanks to Josh. Now you’re just sloppy seconds.”
With that, I stormed out of the pool and purposely strutted my ass inside the house, running into Tessa on my way to the bathroom.
I left my bag under the sink and wanted to change out of my wet bikini to tell Josh I’d love to go on a date with him.
“How do you know Caleb?” Tessa asked, catching me off guard.
“Oh, I uh, met him at the last party I went to with you.”
“So you guys are friends now?”
Suddenly, Caleb was standing beside us, asking the same question, “How do you two know each other?”
“Evie’s my new roommate.”
Caleb’s expression was unreadable while Tessa’s was clearly surprised.
What’s happening?
The atmosphere quickly turned awkward, and I excused myself from the tension that was happening between them.
Did they hook up?
The plaguing question was annoying as I locked the bathroom, knowing Caleb would more than likely follow me in there if I didn’t.
Seconds later, he ordered, “Open the door, Evie.”
“No, I’m good.”
What happened next was straight out of a movie. The lock on the door turned and Caleb barged in, shutting it behind him.
“What the hell? Now you’re MacGyver? Did you just pick the lock?”
He leaned his back against the door and folded his arms over his chest.
“Is that a yes?”
“It’s not a no.”
Unable to resist, I blurted, “Did you have sex with Tessa?”
“No.”
“You answered awfully fast.”
“Because it’s the truth.”
“Then what was that back there?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“It does to her.”
“Yet you’re the one who’s asking me.”
“Stop with the reverse psychology bullshit, okay? I’m not stupid. The tension between the two of you was palpable. Did you fuck her over like you did with me?”
“I didn’t fuck you over, Evie.”
“Yeah, whatever. You didn’t answer my question.”
“There’s nothing to answer.”
“So if I asked Tessa, she’d say the same?”
“It depends on what personality she has that day.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Tessa wasn’t around a lot. She spent more of her time at the sorority house than she did at our apartment. I didn’t think anything of it until that moment.
“You need to get dressed.”
“Caleb—”
“I said you need to get dressed.”
“Ugh! Fine!”
I didn’t think twice about it, reaching for the strings of the top and bottom of my bikini.
Caleb
“You want me to change? I’m going to have to get naked first.”
For a minute, I thought she was toying with me. Little by little, she proved that she wasn’t. Slowly, she pulled the strings of her bathing suit. I should have stopped her, but I couldn’t get my mouth to move.
I tried not to watch, but fuck me … there was no choice. My eyes drank her in as the fabric fell to the floor, leaving her naked in front of me. I was rendered speechless by the beauty that was Evie Monroe. Nothing compared to the vision of her petite body, curvy in all the right places.
She’s your client and your best friend’s little sister. Get your shit together, Caleb.
She was wet.
Dripping.
Her hair cascaded down the sides of her face, looking like a fucking angel when she was the devil trying to lure me in.
I licked my lips, my mouth suddenly feeling dry as hell. The moment I saw her sit on the edge of the sink, I was done for. There would be no coming back from this.
“Evie—”
“What, Caleb? I thought you said you wanted me to change? I’m just doing what you asked.”
“I didn’t ask you to strip for me.”
“You followed me in here, didn’t you? What else did you think was going to happen? I have to get naked to change out of my bikini, right?”
“Evie…”
The fucking minx spread her legs wide open, and I almost fell to my knees to devour her. I had no idea how things escalated so quickly. Her demeanor took on a whole different persona, showing me a side of her I didn’t know existed. Her eyes glazed over with a heady allure, appearing alive and vibrant as she glanced in my direction.
One look almost knocked me on my ass, and my head spun with where she was going with this.
She smiled, reading my mind.
“You gave my brother your word, but the way you’re looking at me isn’t what I consider protection.”
“You need to get dressed.”
“I’m just proving my point.”
“And what’s that?”
“You promised Jax that you’d protect me, but, Caleb…” she teased, slightly rubbing her fingers on her pussy. “Who’s going to protect me from you?” Arching an eyebrow, she added, “Should I keep going?”
