Page 68 of Lie for a Lie

“Yes.”

Why lie? We are over, right? Katherine lingered on me again…

“Did we bring tents?” Chris asks, and I bring my attention back to now.

“Yes.”

Gesturing toward the boat reeling in my line. Chris helps me clean up, but Seth heads towards the girls, getting Paige and Kat’s attention when he kicks sand playfully onto Paige. Covering Paige, her book and her towel.

“Gorgeous, you need lotion.” I can hear Seth tell Paige as my favorite flirty smirk dances on her lips.

“Would you mind putting it on me?” she croons, pulling her sunglasses down and winking. Seth smiles and swiftly lifts her topless from the ground to over his shoulder. He doesn’t care who sees it.

I can hear her laugh, but I focus on cleaning up a bit before heading to the boat. Unfortunately, Paige’s soft moans and sex can be heard before Chris starts to laugh next to me. I just glare at him over my sunglasses.

“I’ll grab the tents.”

“You should have made a move, bro,” Chris teases with a laugh as the music starts to play over one of the Bluetooth speakers. I notice Kat on her phone before she went to lie back down, pulling a towel over her head.

I guess I wasn’t the only one who didn’t want to hear them.

The second I hit the deck, I open the cooler. I am not letting thoughts of how jealous I am of Seth take over and ruin our weekend.

Chapter 35

Paige

After lifting me over his shoulder, Seth only heads north long enough to clear the camp and tuck me into a small alcove. I don’t fight him when he takes my breast into his mouth and sucks hard, causing me to hiss in pain.

Seth pulls away as he removes my bikini bottom and slides two fingers into me. Our breaths were heavy, like wild animals ready to pounce at each other.

I reach down, freeing his cock as he lifts me against the rock wall before sliding into me swiftly. I can’t help but smile, my nails digging into his shoulder, and the pleasure and pain of the moment sends him over the edge, with me following right behind. Pants fill the space as he kisses me possessively against the rock. Kissing my exposed flesh everywhere he can reach.

I want to be lost in this feeling forever, but when I open my eyes, I don’t feel like I should see Seth’s face, and I try my hardest not to show disappointment on mine. A pang of guilt hits me right in the chest knowing Seth isn’t the one I have fallen in love with.

I kiss him deeply before he pulls out of me and helps me to my feet, pulling off his shirt and offering it to me. I don’t hesitate to put it on, but suddenly, I feel way too exposed. He smiles before helping me with my bikini bottoms and walking back to camp, smiling hand in hand.

Katherine notices us first when we get back to the campsite. I don’t bother hiding the post-sex glow, considering I am pretty sure they could hear us moaning from here. When I look at Bre, she is mortified, and Chris can’t stop laughing. I am almost positive they did.

I can feel the blush on my cheeks, so I immediately look for my bikini top and cut-off shorts before heading to the boat for my hoodie. Seth doesn’t notice as he heads towards the campsite, where everyone except Graham sits.

It isn’t until I am on the boat that I notice Graham sitting in the captain’s chair, hat covering his face, and a few empty beer cans beside him. I try to be quiet but end up slipping and tumbling face-first into the boat. I can’t help but laugh, not surprised by my clumsiness when Graham is suddenly standing next to me. I hear him laughing before I feel his hands on my face.

“Baby, you’re bleeding.”

Graham takes Seth’s shirt and immediately pulls it up to my lip. Tears are streaming down my face because I can’t stop laughing. Graham pulls the shirt away, wiping the blood from my lip, and sighs in relief.

I have to ignore the ache in my chest at the worry in his eyes, and I’m just going to pretend I didn’t hear him call me baby.

“It looks like you busted that bottom lip. You might need a few stitches. I’ll have to clean it to know for sure.”

I nod, trying not to linger on the way Graham is looking at me.

“Is she okay?”

I can hear Chris yell, and I have no doubt Seth is right beside him.

“She is going to need stitches. Give me fifteen minutes.”
