I laugh and place both of my hands on the top of his head. “Nope!” I shove him underwater, my laugh turning into a screech when he yanks me under with him, our bodies tangling together as he holds onto me.
Without realizing it, I wrap my legs around his waist again, my heartbeat skyrocketing when his semi-hard dick presses between my legs.
“Dammit, Madden,” I mutter quietly. “Let me go.”
“Why?” he questions, holding onto me tighter. “Don’t be embarrassed, Nat. You know how they work. It’s natural.”
“To get an erection with your brother’s girlfriend? I don’t think so.”
“Relax, okay.” He grabs the back of my head and brings his lips to my ear. “Everyone is watching us. Just ignore my dick pressed up against you for five damn seconds. It doesn’t take much to make it hard. It’s not going to hurt you.”
“It’s impossible to ignore it,” I growl, moving in closer so no one can hear us. “I need a drink.”
“Probably a good idea. You’re going to need to loosen up.” With a crooked grin, he releases me, and I swim off in a hurry in need of some alcohol.
This is not what I signed up for.
And me being turned on by the situation is definitely not what his brother agreed to.
CHAPTER TEN
Madden
The fact that I’m enjoying Natalie’s reaction to my body is fucked up on many levels, since she’s my brother’s girlfriend. I know it, yet I can’t help but like it. My brother would kill me if he knew how many times Natalie has made me hard since we’ve been here, but the fact that I’m in the same place as Alana and it’s someone else keeping me distracted at the moment is a miracle. It’s what I need to make it through this trip, so I don’t fuck things up again like I almost did last year and the year before.
I need to finally make Alana a thing of the past, and I have a feeling Natalie is the girl to make that happen. Last night might’ve started out rocky, but I’m feeling more confident now that I know what needs to be done. I feel like an ass for what I’m about to put her through the remainder of this trip, but I also have to remember the reason she’s here to begin with. And that is to make my ex believe that I’ve moved on.
I’m willing to go to extreme measures to make that a reality, and all I can do is hope that Natalie will forgive me by the end of the trip. Her and my brother…
I keep my eyes on Natalie as she pours a drink, before making her way back to the pool and sitting down to dangle her legs in the water. Right as she brings the cup to her lips to take a drink, I take it from her and tilt the cup back, emptying half of it. “I was about to drink that.”
“I saw. You still can.”
“We don’t have to share this time, Madden. You’ve already proven to everyone that we’re serious enough to drink after each other.”
“Who says it’s for show? Maybe I like sharing.” I tilt the cup back, taking a small swig this time, before handing it back to her. “Or maybe I like the taste of your Chapstick. I haven’t figured it out yet.”
“It’s Cake Batter,” she mumbles over the cup. “If it’s the taste of my Chapstick that you like then I’ll just give you an extra one. Problem solved.”
“Where’s the fun in that?” I tease, loving the way she looks when she’s all worked up over me. The blush across her cheeks has my smile widening.
“Here.” She pushes the cup to my chest with a playful grin. “Your “girlfriend” likes to play Water Volleyball, and it looks like a game is starting. See you in there?”
With a smile, I bring the cup to my lips and watch as she dives into the pool with confidence.
Standing on the same side of the net as Alana, she peeks over her shoulder at me, waiting to see if I’m going to join. The fact that she took the last spot on Alana’s team tells me she did it to keep Alana away from me.
And the look on my ex’s face makes it clear just how pissed off she is. We have always played on the same team. Not this time. I’m grateful. I’ll have to remember to thank Natalie later, because
