The game petered out as couples left together. Cayden fired up the hot tub. He was obsessed with muscle recovery and always soaked and iced after games. When it was just the Ice Gods, Lily, Eve, and Isabelle left on the roof, it was time to soak.
“Are you coming in the hot tub?” Lily asked her friends.
“Sure!” Isabelle enthused immediately.
Eve hesitated. “I might just go to bed.”
“In a hurry to get back toourroom, Cinderella?” I goaded her.
Why exactly I wanted her in the hot tub, I wasn’t sure, except that I enjoyed the fire her eyes directed at me. Sparring withher was my new hobby, one that I intended to excel at, and practice made perfect. Besides, I wanted to see more of her innocent blush. She might swear at me, and meet my barbs with perfect responses, but we both knew the truth. In terms of men and experience, Eve was shiny and new. Her red-tinged, virginal cheeks were amusing. I enjoyed flustering her, and she was easily flustered.
So were you, that night.Shoving that reminder deep down inside, I tilted my head to the side and considered my enemy.
Her friends were trying to convince her to go in.
“Leave her be. It’ll be crowded enough in there,” I called.
Eve’s eyes jumped to mine, narrowing. She hated to be left out of things, and most of all, she hated to make me happy. Now that she thought I didn’t want her in the hot tub, she was considering it.
“Don’t be a spoilsport, Eve,” Marcus called, stripping down to his trunks.
Knowing our ritual of getting into the hot tub after games, we already had our swim stuff on under our clothes. I followed suit, tugging my T-shirt over my head and tossing it away, keeping my eyes on Eve the entire time. She glanced at me and then away.
“Fine, but just for a little bit.” She turned to Lily just in time to see her pulling her top off. “What are you going to wear?”
“Underwear. It’s the same as a bikini,” Lily pointed out.
Isabelle followed Lily’s example, and Eve reluctantly complied. I got into the swirling water, immediately enjoying the way it relaxed my tense muscles. Marcus was beside me, and when Evestraightened up, her clothes cast aside, he groaned under his breath.
“Asher would murder me right now if he knew the thoughts I was having about his sister,” he muttered. “But holy fuck, she’s hot.”
“I hadn’t noticed,” I remarked dryly, and tried and failed to keep my eyes off her lithe body. I’d never gotten to see it properly that night, in the dim light battling our panic and fear. I’d never forget how it felt in my hands, though, or the sweet cinnamon taste of her.
“Sure thing, man. A blind man would notice. She’s something else,” Marcus whispered, sending annoyance through me at his longing tone.
“Well, unless you want to die, I’d keep your eyes off her. She’s off-limits, and we all know it. Asher isn’t messing around when it comes to her.”
Marcus shrugged. “Maybe some things are worth dying for.” He angled me a glance. “Anyway, I’m sure I can survive the temptation…I’m not bunking with her. You, though – man, you’re a goner.”
“I don’t see her that way.” The lie fell easily from my lips.
Marcus chuckled. “Liar. If you didn’t, you would have kissed her during the game.”
“What kind of fucked logic is that?”
He just shrugged. “I can prove it.”
“Feel free.” I met his challenge head-on, confident he couldn’t.
Eve was approaching the water. Her gold-shaded skin glowed in the lights from the hot tub, and her underwear fit her like a second skin, unassuming, and all the sexier because of it. She wasn’t wearing lace or a push-up bra. She had on something sporty, cotton short panties and a bralette that looked like it was for working out. It was white cotton, too. Perfectly virginal and hot as fuck.
The girls jumped into the tub, and Cayden immediately pulled Lily onto his lap and clamped an arm around her middle, effectively hiding her from our eyes. Not that we would stare. Eyeing Lily for too long was a good way to commit suicide, and I could say that confidently, despite Cayden being one of my best friends and living in my pool house for the end of senior year.
Marcus moved around the tub to make space for Isabelle, leaving the only open spot opposite me. Eve sank into the space. Her dark hair was pulled up in a knot on top of her head, and tendrils had escaped, floating around her face and sticking to her neck with the steam. My cock jumped like it had been kicked. It rapidly hardened and lay up against my belly. Thank fuck for bubbles.
I was developing a real problem with popping wood in Eve’s presence, and I wasn’t sure what to do about it. My post-drug habit body was ready to make up for lost time, but the only girl who got me hard was the one I hated. A therapist would have a fucking field day with my issues. Conversation started up, and I let my mind wander. Keeping my eyes off Eve was a full-time job.
An hour later, it was more than past time to get out of the damn tub. Lily and Cayden had already left, no doubt to christen his dorm room. Isabelle had gone, too, leaving Marcus with blue balls and nowhere to go, until his roommate finished fucking his girlfriend in their room.
