“Oh God. Looking forward to it,” I snorted before we decided it was finally time to go back outside.
“Oh, come on,” Lia muttered when our feet hit the sand and our eyes spotted Pixie in my seat next to Julian. Lia peered at me. I must have looked upset because she brushed it off. “It’s okay. No biggie. That’s probably fair game when people leave their seats for the bathroom. It isn’t war unless they refuse to get up.”
Funny enough, Pixie refused to get up.
“Oh,” she made a little face after I said excuse me. She nodded over her bare shoulder at her own empty chair five seats down. “Can we exchange for a bit? I just need to catch up with this man. It’s been way, way too long,” she said, turning flirty eyes to Julian toward the end of her sentence.
I could feel Lia ready to blow a gasket behind me, but before she did, Julian stepped in.
“Sara, come here,” he said to me, hands on my hips as he pulled me to sit on his lap.
“Oh my God,” Lia said aloud before muffling her giggle and returning to Lukas.
My heart was beating fast now as I found myself returning Pixie’s hard stare while sitting on Julian’s lap, his hands resting in my bare lap. I did my best not to squirm as I felt his fingertips grazing the skin on my thighs, but I clearly did a poor job of that because the second Pixie paused their conversation to check her phone, he whispered to me, “Stop that.”
“Stop what?” I whispered back.
“Clenching your pussy. I can feel it on my thighs, and I’d rather not get any harder than I currently am in front of these people.”
I had no time to reply, biting down hard on my lip when Pixie’s eyes flickered back up to us – more specifically, to me.
“So, you rode pillion today,” she said.
“Pillion?” I repeated.
She glanced at Julian with a smirk then brought her eyes back to me.
“That means the passenger seat, sweetie.”
Oh, hell no. I knew even Lia had heard her bust out the condescending “sweetie” because there was an abrupt halt in her chatter with Lukas.
“Oh. Well, in that case, yes. I did ride pillion,” I replied with a smile I refused to let her break.
“I’m a bit surprised you would take someone inexperienced for a two-hour ride,” Pixie remarked to Julian. “You’re usually so big on following rules.”
“Yes, well.” Julian stroked his hands up and down my waist in a way that set my entire body on fire. “She can be very persuasive.”
The low rasp in his voice made me clench again, which in turn had him giving a low chuckle in my ear.
Oh God.
Lia was definitely eavesdropping, because her sudden, sharp gi
ggle brought everyone’s attention to our little side of the fire pit.
“What’s up, Giggles?” Emmett asked.
“Oh, nothing. I just overheard Julian calling Sara ‘very persuasive,’ and I just had to agree.” Hanging onto Lukas’s neck, she turned around to look at me while still addressing everyone else. “She is unrivaled when it comes to making people do things. Right, Lukas? Let’s not forget that this bad bitch over here is the reason you and I got together.”
Lukas playfully held out his hand for me to shake. “I do owe you a big thank you,” he said. “Thank you for meddling when I was courting this woman. You are the best, and any uptight billionaire assholes in this vicinity would be lucky to have you,” he added, sliding a smirk over to Julian. I was already blushing hard, but Lia took it further.
“Did everyone hear that? Sara is the best, so don’t fuck with her,” she announced to no one in particular, though I knew exactly who this message was directed to.
“Yeah, she’s fuckin’ Superwoman,” Emmett chimed in. “Pretty sure no one else could’ve trapped those Roth assholes as fast as you did.”
No. No, no, no…
I stiffened, the knot in my throat instant.
