“Shutting that nagging, whiny mouth of yours.” I say, walking to the edge of the pool and tossing her in.
“Wyck, no! Don’t!” She shouts, but it’s too late. I throw her ass in. “Argh!” She yells.
“Better close that mouth before you drown.” I laugh.
“Dude, how do you know she can swim?” Onyx chuckles.
“I don’t. Guess we’ll find out soon enough.” I say, waiting for her to come up for air. After a minute or two the worry begins to sink in, when she comes out of the water, spitting and choking.
“You fucking bastard!” Fred says, trying to regain her composure. “You could have killed me.”
“But I didn't, so everything is all good.” I slide into the pool and pull her into me. I begin slapping her back, attempting to help with the coughing.
“You are such an asshole.” She growls.
“Never said I wasn’t.”
“Whatever. Get me out of here.” She’s trying to contain her laughter as I walk us to the stairs and I get out. I turn around and reach my hand out to pull her up, but she pulls a fast one on me, and I fall back into the pool with her. “Ha ha, you bastard. Looks like we’re even.” She yells.
“Your ass is gonna pay for that.” I growl, pulling her back under. A fight breaks out between us as she kicks me and I pull her hair. Minutes later, we both resurface, laughing and slapping at each other.
I see movement out of the corner of my eye as Athens begins bringing out food and setting it up on a picnic table to the far end of the pool. Not once does she glance in my direction. I’ll have to change that.
“Follow me.” I whisper to Fred as I grab her hand, leading her to the step, and we get out of the pool.
“Wyck, what are you playing at?”
“Just do what I fucking say, Fred.” I’m tired of her questioning me. She’s making me wish I would have let Wells play with her instead of sparing her. “If you don’t, I think I’ll let Wells have his way with you. His appetite hasn’t been nourished in a while, and I know he’s hungry… For blood.” I laugh.
“Keep him away from me. I’ll do what you want even though I know I won’t like it.”
“Good, little pet.” I say, petting her on the head like she’s my dog, which I guess you could say she is.
“Whatever, lead the way.”
Once we get out of the pool, I look around for Athens but don’t see her. I grab Fred’s hand and lead her back over to my lounge chair.
“Everybody, go enjoy the pool and refreshments.” I demand them. The girls are the first to move, their dates follow, but my Devils stay put.
“What are you going to do, Wyck?” Karter asks.
“Stick around and see.” I smirk.
“Nah, I think I’ll go inside and help Athens.” He announces, picking Mindy up and out of his lap before he heads inside.
“Anybody else wanna defy me?”
“Nope.” Dash calls out, diving into the pool.
“I’m good.” Onyx chimes in, going over to the food and fixing himself a plate. Wells just sits there, watching everyone do their thing. I flop down in the chair and take Fred with me.
“When Athens comes back, I want you to pretend I’m someone you’d fuck. As a matter of fact, start thinking about them now and turn around with your legs spread.”
“What! Why?” She cries. But when she sees my face, she scowls at me while doing what I said. “You’re going to fucking embarrass me.”
“Better you than me.” I laugh, sliding her bikini bottoms to the side. I stick two fingers in my mouth, and tell her, “Open wide for daddy.”
“You’re not my daddy.” She growls, opening her legs for me.
