instantly fall to my bikini top and instead of walking straight past, he pulls himself up and gives me a flirty smile. “I was wondering if you were going to make an appearance tonight.”
I can practically hear Colton’s eye roll, but knowing how much it annoys him, I play along. A flirtatious smile tears across my face and for a moment, Charlie looks dumbfounded. “What are you talking about?” I say with a fake giggle, lightly smacking his chest. “I’ve been here for ages, silly.”
His jaw drops a fraction and I take all sorts of satisfaction out of it, watching how a guy like Charlie who would have girls constantly throwing themselves at him is affected by the one chick his parents wouldn't approve of. Don’t get me wrong, that thought sucks and only serves to remind me how I don’t belong here, but it’s also kind of thrilling.
“You have? Nah, it’s not possible,” he says, dropping his eyes over my body again. “I would have noticed you the second you walked through the door.”
I lean forward and trail my fingers over the front of his shirt before twisting them into the material and pulling him in. He steps in between my legs and his hands instantly fall to my thighs. “You see, that’s just it,” I whisper into his ear, my breath tickling against his neck. “I came through the back.”
Colton turns his back on us and focuses on grabbing a slice of pizza. “Don’t fall for her bullshit, Charlie. She's just playing you.”
His eyes linger on my mouth and I watch as his tongue pokes out and trails over his full bottom lip, completely enraptured by me. “Nah,” he says, his voice low and tortured, choosing not to believe his friend when in reality, he’d be smart to. “She wouldn’t do that. Look at her eyes. She’s down.”
Colton turns and watches the show while Spencer pushes up onto the counter beside the pizza boxes. A lazy grin plays on his lips as he watches his friend about to strike out while Jude happily sulks and walks away, making life a little easier for us all. Though hopefully, he’s not about to go and search out some poor girl to assault.
I can’t help but look up and meet Colton’s eyes across the kitchen. Why are they always on me? They burn so dangerously. It’s so intense and alluring and if Charlie wasn't standing between my legs right now, I’d be clenching my thighs.
Charlie raises his chin, welcoming me in and I find myself dipping my face down toward his. Knowing Colton’s watching closely has my courage skyrocketing and I brush my lips over Charlie’s. He catches them in his and kisses me deeply, but allows me to take control. My tongue pokes out as my eyes close in satisfaction.
Damn, this boy can kiss but I refuse to get carried away. I’m not starting something with Charlie that I won’t be finishing. I pull back, keeping my lips hovered right over his. “Colton’s right,” I whisper. “I’m not down for anything except to fuck you over.”
His eyes blaze with need. “Please fuck me over.”
Colton’s scoff has my eyes shooting back up to see raging jealousy that seems to disappear the second my eyes land on his. Confusion sweeps through me but Spencer quickly steals my attention. “Come on, man,” he says. “You’re all fucking talk. Look at her, she needs a fucking man to keep her satisfied. You’ve seen the guys she’s used to hanging out with. You couldn’t cut it.”
Wait. When did Charlie see my boys?
Charlie looks back at his friend and flips him the bird before stepping out of my legs and sitting up on the counter beside me, still keeping his hand on my thigh, though it doesn't go unnoticed that Colton can’t stop staring at it. “Trust me,” Charlie says with a cocky grin, looking at Spencer. He squeezes his hand on my thigh and trails it a little higher, making a desperate thrill sweep through me. When was the last time I got laid? “I can give her exactly what she needs.”
“Please,” Spencer scoffs, meeting my eyes. “You ever want a real man to show you what’s up, all you have to do is call.”
I raise a brow as tension seems to roll off Charlie in waves. I didn’t take him as the possessive type but then I guess I don’t really know these guys. What I do know is that Charlie thinks that he
