… Tyler POV…
Things between Jenna and me have never been better than before. I can, with all honesty, say that I cannot wait to get to the woman with my dreams.
I am watching her as the sun is laying warm on her soft skin. She looks like an absolute goddess lying here next to me.
I slowly lean in and let my warm breath linger over the tip of her ear. “I love you.”
“Morning you.”
I smile at her, that feeling that feels the whimpers of pleasure I feel when I say it, I never want to let it go again
So I lean in once again; this time, she moves that fraction away. I take my thumb to her bottom lip and gently run it from one corner to the other. They are soft and smooth; her soft rosy lips make it slide with ease. She stops and nearly forgets to breathe as I move my thumb over and between the seams of her slightly parted lips.
The heat between our bodies is unmistakable. Her breathing is short and shallow. She whispers, but her trembling lips only cause her words to whimper. I see my name forming around her lips, but I do not hear it. She is drowning in the power that I have over her body.
I move my lips breath by breath even closer to hers. We are so close now that we are breathing the same breath. I look down to her lips and back to meet her eyes. She closes her eyes, and I move forward, closing that final gap between our trembling bodies. The instant that we touch, the first thing I notice is how much she tasted like cotton candy. As I tuck at her bottom lip.
I place my hand at the small of her back and pull her closer. She is doing that thing with her lip again; she is causing my body to tremble as I run my lips softly against her cheek, then down the smooth skin of her neck.
I see as her body slightly shivers. I know it is not the cold of the night but the intensity of my touch. My lips roll down her shoulder to her collarbone. I stop and take a deep breath.
I knot my hands in her hair and slowly draw her head closer to mine inch by inch, wink by a wink. I cannot contain myself anymore; I want to claim those lips. I can feel a hunger grow inside me as I beg for her to let me in.
… Jenna POV…
I think it is the perfect time to tell Tyler what I have done; I know that he is literally going to kill me,
“Tyler.”
“Yes.”
“Please don’t get mad, but I sort of told Alex that he could stay here while he is in town,”
“You did what”?
“I told Alex he could stay here.”
“Have you lost your fucking mind?”
“No, I am being kind.”
“No, you are fucking crazy.”
“He is your brother.”
“I don’t give a fuck.”
“I don’t want him here.”
“It’s too late.”
“No, it’s not. Phone him and tell him no.”
“He is already here.”
“How the fuck did he get here?”
“I fetched him.”
“You did what?”
“I fetched him.”
“You are testing my fucking patience.”
“I don’t give a fuck.”
“Then you can go stay with him.”
“You are ridiculous.”
“Do you want to see ridiculous? I will pull him out there by his cock.”
“You will touch your brother’s cock.”
“It’s not fucking funny.”
“Stop being so dramatic.”
“Get out my face Jenna before I say something I am going to regret.”
“But Tyler.”
“Leave me the fuck alone. You out of control; I don’t know who you are anymore.”
With that, he storms out the house, slamming his truck’s door so loud it vibrates the windows in the lounge, his tires screeching as he leaves the driveway.
Fuck this, I don’t need his bullshit, I am going to the pool, and I am getting wasted.
When I get to the pool, Alex is already there.
“He does not sound very happy?”
“He is just an ass.”
“I can’t blame him. If I had a girl like you, I’d also not trust any other man.”
“I have given him plenty of reasons not to trust me either.”
“Let me guess, Luke?”
“How’d you guess?”
“He fucked Clara, didn’t he.”
“Yes, but it was my fault as well.”
“I’ve read your articles, I understand.”
“What do you mean?”
“If I don’t get it home, I’ll also look somewhere else.”
“That is what I used to think. How can I write an article if I am not having sex myself.”
“I think that deserves a tequila.”
“Are you trying to make me drunk?”
“This time, I am.”
“Why not? Let’s drink.”
I run to the house to grab another bottle, slip into my bikini and meet Alex back at the pool.
“Gawd damn women, you are fucking hot.”
“You not so bad yourself.”
Alex is just as hot as fuck; when I look at him, it’s like looking at Tyler. He has exactly the same hard-muscled chest, the abs that ripple into each other, the crazy-looking messy hair, an even tighter ass, and those same deep brown eyes. Those tattoos are the sexiest thing I have ever seen.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“It does not help to keep control if you look like the man that I love to fuck.”
“I will take that as a compliment. Hopefully, you confuse us both and fuck me instead.”
“You are not helping.”
“Am I making you horny?”
“I am not answering that.”
We are well on our way into the second bottle when Tyler’s truck pulls in the driveway, tires still screeching, slamming the door nearly off its hinges.
“He is still pissed off.”
“He can be like that for a week.”
“At least one trait that we don’t share.” Alex says before he asks, “Are you going back?”
“No, he chased me out, saying I must live with you instead.”
“Does he know you are here?”
“Can’t see us from where we are sitting.”
I should not have said that; next thing I know, Alex is leaning over my chair, and his lips are crashing into mine. I want to stop him, but I can’t; he is giving me that same toe-curling sensation that Tyler does
“Alex. No.”
“Just once. I want to know what it feels like.”
His face comes down, and his lips brush mine. His lips are soft, softer than I would have imagined, but there is hard desperation behind them, a need. He pulls me to his chest, his hands running down my back, clasping my thigh, drawing me closer. I arch into him, the fire between us twisting and burning.
The soft caress of his lips numbs all my senses. I am lost in him; I am lost in his kiss, and all my defenses give way before this hot, hungry, mysterious guy. He pulls me even closer until there is no space left between our trembling bodies; his warm fingers are grasping my waist.
Then I allow him to enter, his tongue taste of tequila and wine, but it the way he moves that shakes me, the way he wraps around my tongue, the way he runs his teeth over the edge, the way he makes my lips moan, every stroke making me beg for more,
And then he pulls away just in time when I hear the clink of the gate.
“What the fuck is going on here?”
“None of your business.”
“Jenna, do not fucking test me.”
“Get you fucking ass in that house.”
Alex snaps and raises his voice at Tyler, “Don’t talk to her like that.”
“Stay out of it, Alex.”
“Or what are you going to do?”
“Punch me again?”
Tyler steps towards Alex and starts lifting his fist.
“Tyler, stop it.”
“Stay out of it, Jenna.”
“Tyler, I am not telling you again.”
“Or what?”
“You can take this ring and shove it up to your aggressive fucking ass.”
“But Jenna.”
“No, buts Tyler.”
“Come home, please; I will sleep in the spare room.”
“This is not my home; my home is at Luke.”
“Fuck Jenna, don’t do this.”
“It’s done. Get out of my face.”
Back with Alex, we start drinking again. I am so disappointed in Tyler, but Alex is right; he should not talk to me like that. I know he is angry, but he has gone completely psycho on me. I don’t want our engagement to be over, I love him, but you don’t treat people that way.
“Why does he hate you so much? Is it about Clara?”
“No, he is caught up on other shit.”
“Can I ask what?”
“I was with our father when he died.”
“Shit, I am sorry. But I don’t understand why he is, so p*ssed off with you then?”
“I was the one that was driving.”
“Fuck Alex, I don’t know what to say.”
“Don’t tell him I told you. He will never tell you the truth.”
“Why?”
“It makes him feel like a failure.”
“Why?”
“Because he was not there to save him.”
After hours of drinking and sun, we decided to go back home. Reaching my arms out to him, Alex walks up to me slowly and pulls me closer, wrapping his arms around my body, resting them on my waist. His embrace is warm, and his big, strong arms feel so protective as he tightens his grip. The world around me melts away as I squeeze him tight, not wanting the moment to end. It’s like I am lost in Tyler’s arms.
Then my bikini top becomes undone.
“Shit.”
“Fuck.”
“This is very awkward.”
Then Alex drops his pants.
“Fuck.”
“What are you doing?”
“Making this feel less awkward.”
“How is this supposed to help?”
“I don’t know. It seemed like a good idea at the time.”
“This is not helping.”
“You are acting so shy. It makes me want to fuck you even more.”
“No, Alex.”
“I know you cant, but I know you want to.”
“No, I don’t.”
“Just once. I want to know what you taste like. I want to feel my cock deep between those thighs.”
“Alex, no.”
Just then, we hear the click of the pool gate as it slowly opens
“What the fuck is going on here?”
“Tyler.”
“Do not Tyler me! What is the fuck is going on here?”
“What you doing here?”
“It’s my house! And I want both of you out!”
“Tyler, please.”
“No, Jenna! I am done with your fucking whoring around.”
“Tyler, wait, it was an accident.” Alex tries to explain. “It was my fault.”
“I don’t care. I want both of you out! Jenna, your shit will be outside by your car.”
“Tyler, please.”
“I am done with you, Jenna. You take nothing serious in life.”
“Please, Tyler.”
“Leave me alone, Jenna. “I want you two gone; don’t ever come back to this town again.”
“Tyler, please.”
“No, Jenna, I should have left you in that car.”
“You don’t mean it.”
“Yes, I do, more than ever. I want you two gone by the morning.”
On my way upstairs, I quickly text Luke. I know I should not be doing this, but I am so mad at Tyler now. He has all the right to be mad at me too. I made a promise, and I have just broken it
“Hey, gorgeous.”
“Hey, gorgeous yourself.”
“Guess what?”
“Don’t tell me your pregnant.”
“Hell no.”
“You ran off and got married?”
“Fuck no. You suck at this guessing game.”
“I know, just tell me.”
“I am coming home.”
“That was the shortest engagement ever. What did the asshole do?”
“He wanted to punch his brother. “I told him to shove his ring.”
“So Alex is back.”
“Yes”
“Hey, I must go; I will see you tomorrow.”
“Looking forward to it.”
I set my alarm to be up before the crack of dawn. After what happened, both me and Alex went to bed in separate rooms, making my way don’t stairs. I can see that the room is empty. In the kitchen, there is no sight of him either; I am assuming that he is probably by car. I have a quick cup of coffee; I get changed and take the little belongings I have here and head out the door. It feels just like the other day that I did this.
Getting to the car, I find all my belongings there. Just like Tyler said, his truck is still in the driveway as well. I don’t see Alex, though, checking the pool; he is not there either, only when I get back to the car is when I see the note on the windscreen of the car. Opening it see it is from Alex
“Sorry, Jenna. You did not deserve this. Tyler is a very lucky man. Alex”
“What the fuck did I not deserve? He walks into town, kisses me, and then he is gone”
I throw the thing to the floor and start packing my car; I can see the curtains in Tyler’sroom open. I start packing the car faster; I can’t face him; I just want to go; my life here is gone, gone for good, gone again.
This seems to be becoming a habit, seeing the men in my life disappear in my rearview mirror. As I watch Tyler walk outside and he starts getting smaller, I can see him pick the note up that I dropped on the floor. It is just another thing he can be angry about.
When I get to the main road, I become faced with two choices to make. Do I turn left, or do I turn right?
