Four Week Fiance (Four Week Fiance #1)(39)



"Who did you get?" Sally asked excitedly. I think she could tell from the sudden change in my demeanor that it was TJ's name in my hand.

"I got TJ," I said with a fake scowl, pretending that I was upset. I looked over at Sally and she winked at me and made an ‘ohlala’ movement with her mouth.

"Ooh," Cody said with a laugh. "I hope you guys get my dare. You'll have to go and get more beer from the grocery store."

"That's not a dare." I rolled my eyes at him as I put my hand in the dare basket and pulled out a piece of paper. I was hoping it wasn’t something too crazy and absurd. I would be happy with a kiss. Maybe even a French kiss. Maybe even being handcuffed together. That would actually even be kind of exciting. I unfolded the new piece of paper and I could feel my skin burning as I read it. I felt a sudden surge of excitement and shame. This could not be right, could it? Who would have made a dare like this? I just didn't understand why someone would write this as a dare. Then I looked at Barbie and I realized she would die for the chance to do what she’d written.

"Read it aloud, Mila," TJ said, staring at me with a weird look on his face. I stared into his eyes for a few seconds and swallowed hard. He looked way too serious, way too sexy, and way too out-of-my league. I’d be happy with the kiss, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to go completely naked.

"I'm not doing this," I said, my face red as I wondered if I’d shaved recently and if my boobs would look saggy in the moonlight. Saggy, wet boobs were not the same as boobs pushed up in tight lingerie as I lay on the bed with my hair hanging in my face.

"You have to," Cody said as he swigged from his beer. I wanted to slap him. If he knew what the dare was, he wouldn’t be saying that. No siree.

"No, I don't."

"Stop being a baby," he said with a laugh and I glared at him as he gave me a mocking look. I’d show my big brother that he couldn’t just keep talking to me like a little baby.

"Fine. I'll do it." I shook my head at him and then looked at TJ. “Get up and get ready to take your clothes off, TJ, we're going skinny-dipping in the lake."

"Oh hell no, you’re not." Cody's demeanor changed right away as he jumped up and put his beer down. Sally, Barbie, and Troy looked over at him with surprised looks on their faces. They were likely surprised at how quickly his mood had changed, but they had no idea that this was how Cody always acted with me. I felt sorry for his kids. He was going to be a tyrant.

"Yes, we are." I walked over to TJ and grabbed his arm. "Let's go."

"TJ, you cannot skinny-dip with my sister." Cody looked at him and sounded pissed.

"I'll take her to the lake, but I'll make sure she's safe," TJ said. "After all, a dare is a dare. Plus it's dark, so no one will see us."

"I don't want you seeing my sister naked." Cody was starting to sound even more pissed off and I could see his face turning red as he glared at his best friend.


"I'll close my eyes." TJ shrugged and then looked at me. "I don't particularly want to do this myself," he said and I saw him look me up and down. "Let's go and get this done with," he said and grabbed my arm and led me down to the lake.

We walked quickly and I could feel my heart racing. Were we really going to do this? Was TJ really only doing it because it was a dare? My answer came swiftly as we stopped by some chairs next to the lake and I watched him pulling his shirt off and turning to me with a grin as he dropped it to the ground.

“Get your bra and your panties off, baby, it’s time for me to get you wet.” He bent down and splashed some water on my legs, his green eyes shooting promises of deeds unknown as he stared up at me and then stood back up. “What are you waiting for?” he said as he started to unbutton his pants.

“What are you doing?” I asked stupidly as I gazed at his chest, my eyes devouring his abs and his muscular pecs. We had gone from 0-100 in two seconds flat and my brain was sending warning signals all through my body. I wasn’t sure if I was feeling panicked about going skinny-dipping or if I was feeling panicked because I had an almost-naked TJ standing a mere inch from me.

“Like what you see?” he said as he flexed his pecs and moved them back and forth. My eyes were mesmerized by the movement and I wanted to reach out and touch his chest to see what it felt like when he moved them back and forth.

“TJ,” I squeaked as he grabbed my hand and put my fingers on his right pec and ran them down his chest on the way to the top of his pants. I wasn’t sure if he had ESP or what, but the feeling of his chest moving was quite enjoyable. “TJ,” I squeaked again as he held my hand firmly and pressed it against the top of his pants. “What are you doing?”

“I want you to make me wet as well,” he said, his lips close to mine. “It’s only fair,” he said again, and I could feel his breath on my lips as I felt something underneath his pants twitching. He laughed at the look on my face and then pulled away, leaving me standing there breathlessly just staring at him. “Last one in is a dork,” he shouted and pulled his pants and boxer shorts down swiftly before running into the lake. I stared at his naked ass as he ran and all I could think was, Oh, my God, I’m about to skinny-dip with TJ Walker, and his ass is tan, when highlighted by the moon. How did he have a tan ass? My hands flew to my top and I pulled it off without even thinking. I needed to get into that water with him. I wasn’t sure if he was testing me, but I didn’t care. This was like all my dreams come true plus 100. I wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of some possible sexy time with him.
