I placed a soft kiss against his lips, and the rapid puffs of air against my lips told me that he was struggling to calm down. “Honestly? It was kind of hot.”
Tyler
Ifoughttherisingpanic. My face tingled and my heart raced. Sure it was probably easy for Garrett to say there was nothing to be embarrassed about. He wasn’t the one currently sporting a mess in his pants.
God, that hot, arousing image he’d painted.
It’d been one thing when I’d said something similar to him. But to imagine him on his knees for me with his thick curls between my thighs as he worked my cock in and out of his throat. My dick twitched in a triumphant rally. I liked that idea a lot.
The front of his shorts was still tented, making my mouth water. The feel of his hard length against my thigh as I’d ground against him was beyond frustrating. I wanted to feel him so badly.I wanted to touch. His logic made sense, and I hated that it made sense. We’d been in here too long and people already thought we were weird.
We still have another problem.
Wiping the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes, I strengthened my resolve. We needed to come up with a game plan to get out of here. I wanted to pursue this thing growing between us, and to discover this blossoming interest in a guy, my stepbrother. I wanted my turn. He’d gotten me off twice and I’d yet to have my hands on him. “It’s fine. I’ll be fine.”
The look that crossed Garrett’s face said that he didn’t believe me for a second.
“How do you want to get out of here?” he asked, motioning to the front of my pants, making my cheeks heat again. At least the lights were dim in the house, which was a blessing. If I walked closely behind Garrett, maybe no one would notice.
His erection had dissipated by this point, much to my disappointment, but maybe we could change that once we got home. I was determined to change that.
“Lead me out, I’ll follow and hopefully no one sees.”
He nodded. I moved away from the door so that he could open it and look out to make sure the coast was clear. My heart thudded in my ears because this was such an adrenaline rush. Fucking around with my stepbrother in a place where we could so easily be caught was wild and the most daring thing I’d ever done.
We slipped into the hallway, and I stayed as close to Garrett as possible. It might not have been exactly necessary to be right up on his ass the way I was, but his ass was fine and tempting, and dammit I wanted to touch him still. Maybe that one beer was going to my head, or maybe it was the unexpected orgasm in the bathroom.
The hall was more crowded, and the music thumped louder the closer we got to the living room. I never thought of Cassie’s house as being that large, but it suddenly felt like we were attempting to escape a maze. Couples lined the wall, a few just talking, while a few looked like they needed to go find a room.
Making our way into the front of the house the music became deafening loud, and I pressed closer to Garrett. I hadn’t needed to worry about anyone seeing what had happened in my pants. Between the flashing lights and everyone being too into each other, there was no way anyone would notice. We were almost to the door when he was suddenly yanked out from in front of me. My eyes widened at the loss of my shield, and I grasped at the air only to encounter nothing.
Small arms wrapped around his neck, and jealousy flashed through me. My fists clenched at my sides as Cassie pulled Garrett down and kissed him harder. His eyes were wide open, arms held out at his sides before he grasped her sides and attempted to push her away.
“Gar-bear, Are you leaving? We haven’t had any fun yet?” she slurred. She wobbled on her heels and Garrett wrapped an arm around her shoulders to help steady her. She giggled against him, resting a hand against his chest. I crossed my arms and tried to pretend I was unaffected by the display.
“Sorry, Cas. Something came up with Ty.” He motioned over to me. Her curious glance flicked to me and then back to my stepbrother.
“What’s wrong with him? He can take care of himself,” she drawled, trailing a finger down his chest. My jaw tightened as I fought the urge to tell her off, but in a way, I understood what was going on here. She wanted Garrett to herself.
“Nothing. Parties just aren’t really his thing. You know this,” he explained. He looked as tense as I felt. I knew he wouldn’t give in to her, but damn, we’d been so close to getting the fuck out of here. My briefs were drying, and they were becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Cassie huffed her irritation, trying to loop an arm around Garrett again. He wasn’t having it and fought against the advance. Her penciled-in eyebrows scrunched in confusion. She was an attractive girl normally, and I never understood why she overdid the makeup for these parties. “So why doyouhave to leave?“ she questioned.
Garrett’s gaze pinged between the both of us and I tried not to look impatient. I knew he was trying to not brush off his friend, but it was becoming overly apparent that a lot of his friends were more fuck buddies than anything else.
“Tyler!” Dammit. There was no hope of getting out of here any time in the near future.
A thin arm snaked over my shoulder and then pulled me into a plump chest. Maisy. Sure, things hadn’t worked out between us, but we’d mostly remained friends. She still sought me out when we turned up at parties like this.
“See, you don’t need to worry about him,” Cassie drawled, closing in on Garrett again. I tried to relay with my eyes how much I needed to get out of here and I could read the sympathy he was trying to send me.
“I didn’t know you were coming today. You should come have a drink with me.” Maisy grabbed my arm and tried to pull me into the kitchen. Toby never left the kitchen and was busy talking with some other guy. He clearly didn’t have problems finding people to hit up, so I didn’t know what earlier had been about.
I felt terrible leaving Garrett behind. All I wanted to do was leave with him, but I had very few friends that were mine alone. I wasn’t about to totally neglect them, no matter how much the allure of my stepbrother’s dick called to me. I did my best to stay tucked behind Maisy since I no longer had Garrett to guard my front.
Toby looked up from his company as Maisy and I entered. His gaze snagged on the way her hand was in mine. A small part of me hoped it was enough to get him to leave me alone, but I also knew it wasn’t. I had a feeling he wanted to make Garrett jealous, and he thought I was the best way to do it.
“Have you guys been here long?” Maisy asked as she dropped my hand and grabbed two fresh beers from the cooler. She handed one to me, twisting the top off of hers. I gulped at the prospect of having to drink another one of these things. Maybe it was like Stockholm Syndrome and no one actually liked beer. They all drank it because they thought they should like it. I twisted off the cap and took a long sip, fighting the shudder that tried to race through my body once more.
