“Are clothes optional?” Ryder teased; I rolled my eyes.

Hudson laughed. “I don’t think strip reading is a game and I don’t think we can book club if we’re naked.”

“We can if we act out the parts. I’m a good actor,” Ryder insisted.

“Well, you know, a lot of those books were reverse harem, we can always act those parts out.”

Ryder’s smile froze and he swallowed. “Fuck. Guys, we need to book club the fuck out of each other right now.” Zane, Grayson, and I looked at him like he lost his damn mind. Hudson just smiled. I put it in the back of my head to look it up later.

“No idea, but I’ll look it up and text it to you guys later,” I remarked.

“Hey, no fair, I want to be in the group chat too!” Hudson pouted.

“It’s a guys group chat, you would be bored,” Grayson teased.

She stuck out her tongue at him. How I didn’t notice her tongue piercings was beyond me. Fuck, she was so sexy.

She smiled evilly and I narrowed my eyes. “Hunter will add me to the group chat, won’t you Hunter?”

“Huh? Why would I do that?” I smirked. She shifted and ran her hand back to grab my dick and stroke it. I choked and bit back a moan while she worked me over under the water.

“Because you really want me in the group chat so we can send each other pictures and texts all day,” she said huskily, turning herself on as much as she was turning me on. I groaned, fucking torture.

“Hmm, pictures and texts? All day? You’re going to have to prove that, if I add you, we will want to see at least one picture of you a day. And several messages,” I grunted out as her hands gripped more firmly and she quickened her pace. She squealed and smiled up at me. Never stopping her pace, and I started to thrust into her hand. She was fucking driving me crazy.

I moaned and grumbled about pussy power and they laughed at me. Funny sure, but it was my dick getting the fucking best hand job ever. Jokes on them, I thought as I closed my eyes and leaned over to kiss her neck.

“Well, fuck, that escalated quickly,” Ryder said gruffly. Yeah, yeah, the fuck it did.Fuck, she was going to make me cum like this.

“Don’t be jealous, bro. I have the sob story, you get a date, Gray is going to detangle tongue rings from his dick. So, all in all, the only loser here is Zane,” I said smugly. He threw his middle finger up at me. I laughed but choked as she touched the tip of my dick and discovered the piercing there. Her eyes shot up to mine, heat in her eyes. I grabbed her hand and leaned over to whisper in her ear. “Let’s stop this for now before you make me explode and we have to clean out the pool and I’ll come up to your room later.”

She winked at me. “Deal.”Oh, it was fucking on.

Zane cleared his throat. “Well, my truth may not get me any of that, but it will definitely set me free.”

Ryder rolled his eyes. “Shut the fuck up, Z. Are you going to start playing a violin?”

He laughed. “Nope. My truth is I’ve been in love with Hudson from the moment I saw her 10 years ago.”

Hudson let out a low squeak and froze in my arms, fucking shit. She was going to run.Don’t worry angel, no matter where you go, I promise I’ll be there from now on. Nothing would keep me away, even if I have to break every fucking jaw and door down to get there.

Hudson

What the fuck just happened?I had just wanted some fucking pizza. What do I get? Skinny dipping. An amazing orgasm, which was okay, a pierced dick, a book date, a promise to make memories, and a declaration of love. Love. From the guy who took my virginity and literally fell off the face of the earth until earlier. He had some fucking nerve.

To top it all off, my vagina was still on fucking fire. I’m totally done for the night. Yup. It’s my time to go to bed.

“Um, well.” Everyone was just staring at me like the news was only news to me. The way they were acting with me today, the pull I’ve been feeling has been intense, I knew they felt it too. But love, Zane? Really. Mother fucker. Okay, I needed to breathe. Go to my room, hide. Yup. Hiding. Hiding sounds fucking amazing actually. I slid away from Hunter, really fucking hoping he came to my room later, and swam to the edge of the pool. Everyone was staring at me, like I was going to combust.

“Hudson, wait,” Zane started.

“No, oh no. Not waiting. Two years, Zane. You took my virginity and left me two years ago. I didn’t know what I did wrong, I didn’t know if anything was wrong with me. I felt… broken…” God I hated to admit this, but he needed to know. “I cried; you know. For days,” I whispered. “Days. Then my hair started to change to white and I thought it was stress, thought I was going batshit, granted it wasn't anything like that, but I lost my damn mind, Zane. You didn’t call, you didn’t text me…” My voice sounded pitiful even to myself. “You left me, Zane. You don’t get to tell me you love me, because if you did, you wouldn’t have left.” I straightened my spine, embraced my fucking badass-ness, and strutted my sexy naked ass out of the pool and put my hands on my hips to face him. “I won’t be weak again, Zane. So, take a good long look. I do not cry for anyone anymore.” I marched myself up the outside stairs to my room and slammed the door and locked it. Stupid fuck.

I took a quick shower and laid in my bed, in the dark, and punched my pillow. He loved me? That annoying little shit. How dare he love me? In the words of the great Will Farrell, this is horse shit.

I flipped on to my back and stared at the starry sky stickers, trying to help myself breathe calmly, turned on some music and a few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. I didn’t bother to look up as my door opened and closed.
