Four Week Fiance (Four Week Fiance #1)(27)
“Ugh, I need a massage.” Barbie stretched her arms and pushed her breasts out. “Anyone up for providing me some release? I brought some aromatherapy oils with me.”
“Not me,” I said and I could feel my stomach curling at how obvious she was. I hated calling other girls whores and sluts but, man, Barbie was a slut.
“Sure, I’ll help you out.” Cody nodded. “We have some loungers at the back. You can lie face down and I’ll get to work, or we can do it on a bed.”
“Maybe a bed,” Barbie said with a small smile. “I don’t want to accidentally flash anyone.” She paused and looked at me. “I like to get my massages topless. Feels so freeing.”
“I’m going to the lake.” I looked at Cody and then at TJ, ignoring Barbie. It seemed to me that she was deliberately trying to flaunt herself in front of me. I knew she wanted to get a rise out of me, but I bet she had no clue how close I was to just slapping her and screaming. And I have never slapped anyone before in my life. “Sally and I need to relax.”
“Well, make sure relaxing is all you do.” Cody turned to me and his voice was rough. “No shopping and spending money you don’t have.”
“Yeah, Mila, time to stop the shopping.” TJ said, his eyes laughing at me.
“TJ, I swear I’m going to go off,” I said to TJ who was barely holding back a grin. I had no idea why he thought any of this was funny. It was far, far from funny. “You tell plastic lady and my brother to stay away from the lake for the next couple of hours, please.” I pursed my lips and he nodded, a solemn look on his face.
“What about me?” he asked, his green eyes sparkling.
“What about you?”
“Can I come to the lake as well?” He licked his lips lightly.
“No,” I said abruptly and turned away, feeling pissy. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with TJ teasing and confusing me. The morning had already gotten off to a bad start and I was still confused about what had happened the previous evening. I still wanted to know why he’d watched me walking to my room and just stood there. I’d had an awful time getting to sleep. I’d been up half the night debating putting on my negligee and going to find him and offering up myself. I just wanted to see how he would respond. My skin had been tingling all night, and when I’d finally fallen asleep, my dreams were filled with TJ’s smile and his strong arms pinning me against a wall, holding me up as he f*cked me hard.

“I wanted to show Cody my new bikini.” Sally moaned as we settled into two lounge chairs next to the lake. The sun felt warm on my skin and I closed my eyes as I listened to her complaining that I’d dragged her from the room to the lake without her getting to flirt with Cody.
“He was all up in Barbie’s silicone,” I mumbled as I settled into the lounger and flexed my toes. “He didn’t deserve your presence this morning.”
“I can’t believe she wore a white T-shirt and no bra. Who does that? Next thing she’ll be suggesting a wet T-shirt competition.” Sally sounded annoyed.
“You know you’d enter.” I laughed as I rolled over and opened an eye to look at her. “By the way, just in case you didn’t know, you look hot in that bikini,” I said honestly as I gazed at her. The crisp white material of the bikini complemented her honey complexion, and her long black hair hung past her shoulders and to her back, straight and frizz-free. “It’s so weird seeing you without your curls,” I said as I reached out and touched her hair. “I miss pulling your ringlets.”
“As soon as I hit the water, I’ll be curly again.” She laughed, her eyes crinkling as she gazed at me. “Your face is looking red,” she said as she peered down at me. “I think we should put on some sunscreen before we get burned.”
“Yeah.” I nodded and sat up. “Do you have any?” I asked sheepishly. “I forgot to bring any.”
“You were too focused on your sexy underwear.” She giggled and I nodded. “You know it.” I sighed. “Not that it matters. TJ is driving me crazy. I don’t know what he’s thinking or feeling. And I don’t think I have the nerve to make a move on him.”
“Just do it.” Sally sighed as she pulled out her sunscreen. “And get on your front. I’ll do your back first.”
“Just do it. Yeah, right. You know how hard that is. I don’t want to be rejected.”
“It’s obvious that he has the hot’s for you,” Sally said. “The way he looks at you and teases you, and didn’t you say he asked you to skinny-dip last night? Who does that? None of my guy friends have ever asked me to skinny-dip.”
“He’s Cody’s best friend. I bet he feels like he’s my brother.” I sighed.
“Trust me. Your brother and any guy who felt like he was your brother would not want to skinny-dip with you.” She laughed and I yelped as she put the cold cream on my back and started rubbing. “Unless he was that freaky guy from that book.”
“What book?”
“Flowers in the Attic,” she said. “I saw the movie on Lifetime and whoa.”
“Whoa what?”
“She hooked up with her brother. And not step-brother, either.”
“Eww, that’s gross.” I made a face into my towel as she rubbed the cream into my shoulders. “Do my lower back as well, please.”
