Page 54 of A Game Of Love

“Think again.” Toby grins before launching himself at me, forcing us both underwater.

It has to be midnight by now as we lay on the loungers. The cool fall air nips at our skin. We’re wrapped in towels with blankets for added warmth.

Not wanting to end the night too soon, we opted to sit outside and talk.

It was nice reminiscing about the olden days. The days we didn’t have a care in the world apart from when the next time we’d all get to hang out again.

For the past hour, any issues we have seemed to be put aside. I got a glimpse of what this could be. It can work. I know it can.

And seeing Lilly cuddled up with Toby with that smile on her face makes me want to be able to do that for her every day.

My eyes lazily track the sky, taking in the stars, the night air fills with the sounds of crickets and the occasional frog.

Rolling my head to the side, I smile when I see Lilly cuddled up to Toby, sleeping with her head on his chest.

“Take her inside,” he mumbles sleepily. “It’s cold.”

Getting up, I carefully scoop her up into my arms. She makes a small sound before curling into me, snuggling against my chest.

“You should head inside, too,” I tell him.

He waves me off, moving to his side and burying his face in the blanket. Chuckling softly, I bring Lilly into the pool house.

Laying her down on the bed, I stand back and wonder if I should remove her swim clothes. They’re still wet, and I don’t want her to get sick or have them irritate her skin because of the chlorine.

But I also don’t want to just remove her clothes without her permission.

“Are you just going to stand there and stare at me all night?” she murmurs, her eyes fluttering open.

“You’re awake.” I laugh softly.

“Yup.” She grins sleepily, her eyes closing again as she stretches. A sweet little moan of pleasure leaves her lips, and my cock stiffens.

When she opens her eyes, they drop to my erection, and she grins wider. “Someone's excited.”

“It can’t be helped when I’m around you.”

She bites her lip, desire burning bright in her eyes. “I can help with that.”

My brows raise. “You were just sleeping a moment ago.” I chuckle.

“And now, I’m awake,” she sighs, moving her legs so that they lay open. My attention drops to her core, and I groan when I see the outline of her pussy. “Bishop.”

My eyes snap up to hers, arousal flooding my body, and I lick my lips.

“Yes?”

“Make love to me,” she whispers, her smile gone as her expression grows a little more vulnerable. “Please.”

“Right now?” My brows furrow. “Are you sure?”

“Don’t you want to?”

I snort. “Of course, I fucking want to.” I blow out a breath, running a hand through my hair. “But we have school tomorrow.”

“Fine,” she sighs dramatically. “We can just sleep instead of having sex.” She rolls onto her side, sighing heavily again.

With a low growl, I bend down and snatch her up, throwing her over my shoulder with a squeal.
