Page 84 of No Summer Hotter than You

“You—” Andy started before Anthony interrupted him.

“You—dear brother—were the one who started it first with Julie and continuously kept us up throughout last night.”

Julie blushed bright red as Andy cleared his throat. Jonathan groaned, dropping his utensils dramatically. “I just lost my appetite, you horny fuckers,” he muttered, getting up from his seat.

Andy waited for Jonathan to walk back inside before speaking up again in a low hiss. “It’s called make up sex. Haven’t you ever heard of it?”

“Who cares? You two were annoying, and I gave you a taste of your own medicine,” Anthony said as he laughed. “Besides, you shouldn’t be too angry.”

Andy blinked. “Why would you say that?”

“Shoua and me,” Anthony whispered, glancing at me with a beaming grin. “We’re together now.”

This morning, with the soft sunlight cascading over his sun-kissed skin, making his eyes a beautiful golden brown, Anthony kissed me on the forehead and asked me to be his girlfriend. We woke up in each other’s arms and that was the first thing he said to me. Without hesitation, I said yes.

Andy smiled as he let out a long sigh. “At least take your girlfriend out on a date first,” he said. “Be a gentleman, Anthony.”

Anthony smirked as he thew his arm over my shoulders. “But, Andy, I am. I make sure Shoua’s thoroughly taken care of each and every single time. Either with the tip of my tongue or the tip of my?—”

I quickly covered his mouth to keep him from continuing. “Enough, Anthony,” I pleaded. “No one needs to hear the details.”

I could feel his lips part as he let out a muffled laugh. He grabbed my wrist and kissed all over the palm of my hand. Feeling Julie’s and Andy’s wide eyes on us, I struggled to pull out of Anthony’s grasp. He laughed childishly and stuck his tongue out, licking one wide stripe over my palm before finally letting me go. I held my hand out in mid-air as Andy’s face mirrored mine in horror.

“Someone sure is happy.” Julie laughed.

“I sure am!” Anthony beamed with a giddy laugh.

Andy and Julie chuckled at his comment as he looked at me. His hand slipped into mine under the table as the couple from across from us continued the conversation. Whether they were trying to get input from us or talking to themselves, we heard none of it as Anthony gingerly drew unknown scriptures into my palm and fingers—slowly and teasingly—while I could only smile like a fool back.

We were in our own little world.

CHAPTER 33

As the day drew out, my eyes traveled to Shoua wherever she was and followed her every move. I traced the outlines of her body and watched the sway of her hips like a man obsessed. Each time I looked over at her, I swallowed thickly. Her sexy tan lines from the last two days were peeking out from under her halter top. My cock started twitching whenever her sweet scent wafted to me as it was this instant. I heard a gulp from next to me and all that desire dissipated.

I glared at my stupid brother as his eyes followed Julie, who was also showing off her tan lines today in a strapless cotton dress. The two cousins were down by the deck as we ogled at them from the patio up by the house in a small gazebo where the barbeque pit stood.

I scoffed at Andy. He and Julie fucked five times yesterday, and even had the audacity to keep Shoua and me awake. But this asshole still had the energy to go at it like nothing. Like hell did I need to know that.

“You should wipe off that drool off your face, asswipe,” I muttered as I approached the barbeque pit and flipped over the meat.

Andy smirked and jutted his jaw toward me. “You should wipe the drool off your face first. I’m not the one following Julie’s scent everywhere like a mutt in heat.”

I scowled as sweat dripped off the side of my face, and I stepped back from the blazing barbeque pit; the air around us was practically twenty degrees hotter because of it. “Stay on topic, Andy. Are we going to play volleyball or what?”

“Stay on topic?” he mocked, sipping on an ice cold beer. “You’re the one who suddenly told me to wipe drool off my face just because I was looking at my girlfriend. Do you want to play volleyball or not?”

“We’re still playing volleyball? I thought you two were too busy ogling my sisters to do anything today,” Jonathan mumbled with a scoff from my other side. “I asked Sai to tag along on this stupid trip so I wouldn’t have to deal with the two of you with my them. And yet, here I am—alone and having to deal with all you horny assholes.”

Andy and me turned to him, confused.

“What do you mean? Where’s Sai?” I asked.

“Since you’re so busy with Shoua, you probably haven’t realized this. He’s been with Evelyn every day since we got here,” Jonathan said. “He seems to like her.”

He tipped his head toward the lake. I followed his gaze and was taken by surprise. There was Sai sitting close to Evelyn on the side of the deck. They weren’t joined at the hip, but they were close enough to be considered chummy. She let out a loud giggle.
