"Awe, don't be like that, buddy. You'll never get your dick wet if you act like that." I laughed, causing Az to fling out his arm and catch me in the gut with his fist. Grunting with the impact, I laughed harder as his expression turned sour.

Rich pinched his nose and sighed heavily. "Let's just make it through today, please."

"Aye, aye, captain!" I beamed with a mock salute before turning to Az. "Last one to the pool takes it up the ass." I called out before speeding in the direction the women had headed.

"Fuck you, Leighton!" Az bellowed behind me. I didn't bother to look if he was following. I was going to win the race, regardless.

Stepping outside, static kicked through my brain a second time as I was greeted by the sight of Victoria in a tiny two-piece, lathering some sort of oil along her shapely calves. The view was sinful as fuck, and it went straight to my cock. I had to stop and adjust as I strode toward them. Victoria looked up just then, and the blush crept from her face all the way to her chest. I couldn't stop the grin as I adjusted myself again, slowly.

"Miss me, babe?" I winked at her.

"In your dreams, crazy eyes." Her friend interjected, causing Victoria to return her attention to the oil she was applying.

"Want me to get your back?" I said, letting the suggestion hang on the air as I said it. She blushed again. God, that was so fucking cute. It made my already rigid dick throb, and I wondered if she'd blush that way when she screamed my name. "You're not playing fair, and you know it." I slid onto the lounger next to her, grabbing the bottle of oil.

"Hey!" Her sputtered protests lacked much conviction.

"Just turn around, sweetheart. I promise to be good… for now." I ran my tongue over my lips as I applied the oil to my hands.

She gave me a hard look but eventually did as I asked. I slid my hands up her back and bit back a groan that would definitely have pushed her away from me. At that moment, Az stomped through the sliding glass onto the patio, and his double take caused me to flash him a wide grin. Victoria noticed his presence, and all the muscles in her back immediately tensed up. I massaged little circles across her lower back as Az stalked toward us, scowling as he claimed an empty chair.

Leaning closer, I brushed my lips against her ear. "But all bets are off when we fuckma petit démone, since it's only a matter of time. If you and Az start playing nice, maybe he'll get to join us."

She jerked away from me, but I didn't miss how her thighs squeezed together. Victoria was definitely into the idea of us both, even if she didn't want to admit it. A wicked thought flashed through my mind, and I scooped her into my arms before she could scramble away from me. The shock written on her face as I lifted her effortlessly stopped her from fighting me more as I walked across the patio and dumped her in Az's lap.

Lifting my fingers to frame them, I moved my arms back and forth as if focusing a camera. They both looked angry and flushed as they glared at me. Interestingly, neither moved right away. "Oh, yeah, it's going to be hot as hell when you two stop fighting it and just fuck."

Her friend's laughter rang out across the patio, causing Az's scowl to deepen.

"Never gonna happen, L." He growled, lifting her up in his arms. "She wouldn't know what to do with herself." He stood easily and walked her over to the edge of the pool.

"Don't you fucki–" she screeched as he gave her an evil grin and chucked her in the water. She landed safely in the center of the deep end and came up sputtering.

"You looked like you needed to cool off, Princess. I was happy to oblige." Az smirked down at her from the edge of the pool.

"God, the sexual tension between you two." Her friend piped in.

"I know, right?" I replied, grinning over my shoulder at her before charging Az and knocking him into the water. He yelped as he went under, causing even Victoria to laugh at his surprise. He resurfaced, seething.

"L! What thefuck,man!? My phone was in my pocket!" He pulled out the useless black rectangle and threw it at me.

"Might wanna put that in some rice." I laughed, dodging the phone, before it clattered across the patio behind me. "Well, maybe not now. Now it might actually be broken."

Az pulled himself from the water and stomped past me to pick up the pieces of his phone. "I'm going to change. Don't go anywhere." He barked, pointing at me.

I gave him two thumbs up, followed by a cheery wave, before turning my attention to Victoria. "Might want to take care of yourself while you're in there, bro. They can see your boner from space."

Victoria blushed deep red again and slipped beneath the water. Az grumbled something that I was reasonably sure was meant as a threat as he stomped away just as she resurfaced.

"Girl, you need to take advantage of all this man-meat." Her friend, Tiffany, I think she said her name was, called out.

"Yes, let's do that. I am open for business." I winked.

"Kill me now." Victoria groaned.

"The whole point of us being here is so that nobody kills you." I frowned. "Besides, I kinda like your friend's plan."

"The more you talk, crazy pants, the more I think I like you." Tiffany laughed, her light footsteps alerting me that she was moving closer. "Now that I'm really looking at you, you look really familiar, too."
