She’swrithing now, with my mouth on her breast and my fingers pumping into her, pushing her closer to orgasm.Whenshe tightens around me,Iknow she’s close.Ikiss her again and double down on my efforts, wanting to taste her as she comes.
Thenshe’s there, her body clenching down on me as she hits her peak.She’sso lost to the ecstasy, her whimpers and moans are loud in the silence of the rooftop.
Assoon as she relaxes back against the side of the pool,I’mshoving my shorts down just enough to pull myself out.Stillholding her bikini bottom to the side,Ipush the tip of my cock against the heat of her entrance, then ease inside her.Shewraps her legs around my waist, and then the only sound is the ripples of the water asIthrust into her.
Myheart thunders asIstudy her face, watching those mesmerizing eyes go hazy with need.She’sclose again, andI’mright there with her.
Aharsh sound shatters the silence. “What.The.Fuck?”Beau’svoice echoes across the rooftop.
Ifreeze, my heart now pounding a painful, staccato beat in my chest.
Theecho of footsteps coming closer has me moving quickly.Ipull out ofShaeand tug her bikini top back over her.She’sstaring up at me with wide, worried eyes, andIcan’t bring myself to turn around yet.I’mnot ready for this.
“Whatthe fuck are you doing?”Beau’svoice is hard and cold, nothing like his usual laid-back tone.
Ibrush a barely there kiss acrossShae’slips, then turn to face my cousin.
Hestands a few yards from us, dressed in swim trunks and holding a towel.Theexpression on his face is as closed off as it was the dayMomdropped me off at his house—an intruder in his life.Isthat whatI’mabout to become again?
Beau’sgaze darts fromShaeto me. “Whatthe fuck is this and how long has it been going on?”
“Beau…”Shaestarts, butIsqueeze her arm to stop her.She’snot the oneBeauwants an explanation from.
“Inone form or another, from the first week she came to stay with us,”Ianswer as evenly as possible.
Beau’sface blanks. “You’vebeen sneaking around behind my back—lyingto me—for almost two months?”
There’snothingIcan do but nod.Notliking the disadvantage of being in the water while he towers over us,Ihaul myself up and out, then reach down to helpShae.
Shestands partially behind me, shivering a little, whether from the slight coolness of the air or the palpable anger emanating fromBeau,Ican’t be sure.
Hiseyes bore into mine, andIcan almost feel the weight of my betrayal pushing down on me.Then, without another word, he turns and storms toward the door leading downstairs.
“Juststay here for a second,”Isay toShae, not wanting her to hear whatever is going to go down betweenBeauand me.Notwaiting for a response,Ijog afterBeau’sretreating form.He’salready back in the apartment by the timeIget downstairs, andIcatch the door just before it swings shut behind him.
Ishove it open. “Beau, stop.Weneed to talk about this like adults.”EvenasIsay it, a trickle of panic is dripping ice in my veins.Allmy hopes of him being happy forShaeand me drain away as he stares at me as ifI’ma stranger.
“Likeadults?Youmean not like people who hide their relationship and sneak around because they’re ashamed of what they’re doing?”
Heatblazes up my spine. “I’mnot ashamed—”
“No?Thenwhat?Whydid you keep it a secret?Whydidn’t you come to me and say, ‘Hey,I’mfeeling things forShaeIhaven’t felt before’?”Hismouth twists, and my stomach drops. “Hangon.Whydoes that sound familiar?”Thenhe snaps his fingers. “That’sright.Thatwas whatIsaid to you whenItold youIwanted to be withShae.Andwhat did you say?”
“Beau—”
“Youtold me not to do it.Thata relationship with her wasn’t worth the trouble it would potentially cause.Thatthere would be plenty of women to date when we were rock stars.Youtalked me out of it.Didyou want her for yourself back then after all?Wasthat it?Orwas it just because you didn’t want me to have her?”
I’mfrozen.Ican’t fucking deny any of it.
“Ican’t believe you could be so fucking selfish.Yousuddenly decided you wanted her, and you didn’t care about the promises we made or the reasons you gave me not to do the very same thing.”
Spinerigid, chin up,Istand there and take it because it’s true, andIknew it from the start.Yearsago,Italked my cousin, my best friend, out of pursuing the girl who had the potential to be the love of his life.AndhereIam, taking her for myself.
“Doyou love her?”Iask at the same time as the door swings open behind me.
Beau’sgaze goes over my shoulder.
“I’vealways loved her,” he says, but he’s not talking to me anymore.
