She was gorgeous. I didn’t understand how she wore something so revealing yet made it look innocent. But I guess that was her personality in a nutshell. It was hard to believe someone as colorful as Reesia had such a dark past. She was always cheery and unapologetically herself, even if she was a lot to process sometimes.

“I’ve got the goods!” She held up a pitcher and two glasses. She sat next to me again and began pouring the drinks.

“This is cute!” I complimented, touching the tie string by her hip.

“If you’re trying to seduce me, it’s working. I’m yours. Wanna make-out?” She leaned closer to me.

I leaned back. “Reesia,” I scolded. Truth be told, I had no idea if she was kidding or not most of the time. I thought she was messing with me, but my professors seemed to think differently.

She held her hands up in surrender. “Just a joke!” she handed me a glass. “Dominic would kill me... maybe,” she shrugged. She took a sip and raised an eyebrow at me. “You’re not going to change? I can see the straps of your bikini,” she gestured to my exposed shoulder that slipped from my button-up.

I’d have to talk myself into it first. “I will eventually, I’m just a bit cold right now,” I lied.

“It’s 90 degrees, Odette,” she deadpanned. “And I’ve already seen you naked, so...” she looked at me expectantly. “Strip.”

I blushed, remembering her ambush on me in the shower. “Thanks for that reminder,” I laughed and took a drink.

“Every time I close my eyes,” she smirked. “Fine, roast away and deprive my eyes of their birthright,” she laughed before lying down on the lounger.

Everyone exited the house in their own swimwear. All the men were in trunks, and Jamie was wearing red swim shorts and a matching bikini top. Jamie set up a speaker that blared rock music—loud but not loud enough to drown out conversations.

All four of my drool-worthy men had beers in hand, smiling and cracking jokes as they walked towards us. Dominic towered over everyone in every way. He was taller and had broader shoulders than the rest. Aiden’s tattoos were on full display, disappearing into his trunks. Wyatt had his glasses on, a sight I didn’t get to see often. He usually wore contacts, but seeing him shirtless with them on made me do a double take. As always, Niko was a beam of joy; his smile somehow made even the bright sun seem dull. His biceps flexed as he gently shoved Vincent.

All for me. Delicious. Today was going to be a perfect day!

Niko winked when he caught me staring.

Keep it PG, Odette, there are people around.

They went directly into the pool while Niko jogged over to me. He took a big step over the lounge chair and sat behind me, manspreading and straddling the wide chair. Long, muscular arms wove around my middle as he pulled my back against his chest. “Letting Reesia poison you again, Cariño?” He joked.

Reesia groaned from beside us and held up a middle finger to him. “I poisoned myself too, thank you very much.”

“Reesia,” Collin scolded.

She put her finger down quickly and turned to me. “I swear to God, he has eyes on the back of his head,” she whispered before laying back again.

“And ears,” Collin added.

Niko gave my top a little tug. “Feeling shy?” He rasped. His fingers slowly, unsuspectingly, began unbuttoning my top.

My eyes widened and darted around around the pool. What was it? National Embarrassment Day? “Niko,” I whispered, sending him a look over my shoulder.

He smirked. “You’re beautiful. Either you take your clothes off, or I will. And if I start undressing you, I won’t stop,” he whispered the warning.

“Oh my God, please don’t undress yourself,” Reesia commented without opening her eyes.

Option-less, I finished unbuttoning my shirt and smoothly slid it off my shoulders. I admit I did feel cooler, and the only person who noticed my change was Wyatt. The shorts were a different story. I had to stand to take them off, and while I was sliding them down my legs, I felt eyes on me.

Now undressed in a bikini, I quickly sat with Niko again. I dared to glance, and sure enough, the only one who wasn’t sneaking glances my way was Collin, who was turned away from me, having a one-sided conversation with Jamie and Aiden.

Jamie and Vincent weren’t shy about eyeing me from head to toe, and they even shared a momentary lustful look before returning to their conversations. I removed my hair from its clip, and it fell over me like a blanket.

Worse than them, my professors couldn’t stop sneaking glances at me. You’d think I was stripped naked with the hungry looks they had. It made me shiver.

Niko wrapped his arm around me again and pulled me against him, where I felt his dick hardening against my ass. “See, was that so hard?” He teased.

“Believe me, if I was a man, I would be,” Reesia commented again.
