Chapter 9

DANI

Nothing about chicken fighting in the pool should turn me on, but Jordy talking me through this right now was insanely hot.

“Go, Dani! Go!” he yelled as water splashed everywhere.

This woman across from me was determined, but not as much as me. She had hurt Jordy; she had pissed me off and now she had to die. Okay, well, not die, just lose this game. There was only one way out of this pool for me, and that was being a winner.

Elena shoved me once. I bent backward, losing my balance, but Jordy’s hands gripped my thighs hard and pulled me up straight. I used that momentum to shove her off John’s shoulders and right into the pool. My hands went up in the air in . Jordy hopped up and down in the pool, causing my clit to rub against his neck and a chill to race down my spine.

Nope. Not here.

I leaned back and we fell into the water. As I broke the water’s surface, I was met with a smiling Jordy with dripping hair. “We are the fucking best!” he exclaimed, reaching around my waist and picking me up. Automatically my legs wrapped around his waist and my hands gripped his neck. After a few seconds of smiles and cheering, our looks changed into something more serious.

His tongue darted out to wet his lips. His stunning blue eyes lingered on mine, and I knew he wanted to kiss me. But this time, it was because he wanted to, not because of the crowd watching.

Water suddenly splashed across my face. Everyone decided to jump in the pool alongside us. I smiled, glancing around at all of our friends. But when my gaze returned to Jordy I realized that his eyes had never left mine.

Shyloh jumped on Jordy, which was the only thing to break our eye contact and I set a little reminder in my head to ask him later what he was thinking about because I couldn't stand not knowing.

“That was impressive,” Lenna said, swimming with Becca toward me in the pool.

I smirked. “Yeah, I actually impressed myself.”

“So… I just have to say it.”

I tilted my head and glanced between Lenna and Becca, wondering what that meant. “My brother has never looked at anyone like he looks at you,” Lenna explained. “It’s so cute.”

Becca chimed in, “I know the look of a man in love, and that, my girl…is it.”

I glanced over my shoulder, finding Jordy laughing and chatting with the guys. I couldn’t help but wonder if that was the look he gave me. Was Jordy falling in love with me? No, he couldn’t be. That would ruin everything about us, our friendship.

"Maybe he is, I’m not too sure. We haven’t talked about that.”

Becca raised a brow. “Well maybe it’s time that you do.”

Tonight’s dinner would be easy: pizza by the pool, that way no one had to get dressed in something fancy after such a long ass day of sweating. We meandered around, eating and chatting with everyone.

“Attention, everyone, attention!” Shy announced. Everyone turned to look at him with his arm draped over Becca’s shoulder. “We just wanted to thank you all for coming to our wedding week. We know it’s not easy to just take a week off of your lives to come and spend it with us, so we appreciate it. Becca and I also decided to cancel the events during the day tomorrow to let everyone rest and recuperate; instead, we will do an afternoon boating trip for anyone who would like to go.”

Jordy and I locked eyes.

Becca added, “Also, there is dessert in your room’s refrigerator that you can enjoy later tonight. You don’t have to leave, but we are heading in for the night! See everyone tomorrow!”

Groups of guests started to dissipate, leaving me and Jordy standing alone by the pool. He smirked at me, and I narrowed my eyes, knowing he was up to something.

“What are you doing?” I asked cautiously.

He stepped closer, his brows raised innocently. “I’m not doing anything, just coming to stand by you. Is that okay?”

I rolled my eyes. “There is nothing innocent about what you’re doing—you’re planning something.”

“How can you tell?” He pressed his hand to his chest as if I offended him.

“Because I know you. That look you have is no good. You’re gonna—”

I was right. Jordy’s hands gripped my hips, yanking me over his shoulder as he plunged us into the empty pool, with only the rotating colors of the rainbow illuminating it. I caught my breath and splashed water into his face. “See, I told you that you were up to no good!”

He started to swim around me. “I guess you do know me. But what I didn’t know was how aggressive you are at playing chicken.”

I gasped. “I am not aggressive. I simply wanted to win.”

“That’s fair, I did too. I don’t wish ill on Elena, but I was hoping you might bust her nose or something.”

“Jordy!” I said, appalled. “I would never do such a thing.”

He continued to circle me, but his distance to me became closer and closer with each pass. His chuckle warmed my heart, and a rush of heat surged through my body.

“Do you know what I liked?” he asked. I didn’t know where he was going with that question until he closed the space behind me, pressing his chest against my back. I stood frozen, unsure of how to respond.

“I liked your legs wrapped around my shoulders,” he whispered, his hands slowly tracing my arms.

“Oh? Why?” I asked, feeling the light touch of his lips against my shoulder.

“Because I imagined that it might be like having your legs wrapped around me in a bedroom. Or maybe even on the side of this pool.”

Holy shit. He did not just say that. “Jordy, you know we aren’t doing any of that,” I stammered.

He hummed against me, pressing a kiss into my neck. My body wanted to melt into him, let him have his wicked way with me but I knew that we had an agreement. “We can’t, Jordy,” I pleaded. “You know we can’t.”

His hands dipped down across my stomach, toying with my bottoms. “Mmm. And why is that?”

“Because we have a deal and we’re friends. If we do something like that, it could mess this up.”

With that, he pulled away, and the absence of him against my body saddened me. I wanted him to touch me.

“You’re right. Let’s, uh—let’s go to bed.”

I watched as Jordy climbed out of the pool and wrapped himself in a towel. “Are you coming with me?” he asked.

I nodded. “Yeah, I’ll catch up with you in a minute.”

He gave me a fake smile and turned to walk back to our room. I took a deep breath, lying back in the water to float. I tried to clear my mind, but my pulse wouldn’t slow; it was continuously thumping in my ears and I knew it was because of Jordy.

My best friend wanted me, and I wanted him. Maybe it’s just the high from the day, and tomorrow we would forget this ever happened.

***

The door clicked behind me as I walked into our room. Jordy was lying on the cot, his steady breathing revealing he was asleep.

I changed into a T-shirt and underwear, sliding under the covers and double checking that he wasn’t faking again. My pussy was screaming to be touched, especially after the way Jordy had touched me today. I couldn’t help it.

My hand dipped down under my cheeky underwear and started to press against my clit. Swirling my hand slowly, I tried to keep my breath low and my moans muffled. My eyes glanced to Jordy, who was lying with his back still facing me, and I couldn’t stop imagining what it would be like for him to be between my legs, and for him to—fuck.

“Mm,” I moaned loudly. I closed my eyes, pretending to be asleep because I heard him move on the cot. Once the movement stopped, I cut my gaze back to the cot, only to be met with blue eyes.

“Don’t stop on my account,” Jordy grumbled. Half of me wanted to stop, but the other wanted to keep going. The thought of him watching me orgasm was…stimulating.

“You know you wanna come all over your fingers, Dani.”

Holy shit—here he goes again. Talking .

My fingers started to move again as I kept my eyes locked with his. He sat up on the edge of the cot and I stopped. “I just told you not to stop,” he drawled as he stood, walking to the edge of the bed before climbing on top of me.

“I want you to look at me while you fuck your pretty little cunt.”

My heart was racing, hearing him talk like that and seeing his eyes wild looking down at me. I whimpered.

His lips quirked up in a wicked smirk. “You like that, baby?”

Baby? Oh my God.

His lips captured mine, slowly slipping his tongue in and toying with me as my hand moved faster and faster. Pulling back, he whispered, “That’s it baby, come for me.”

A wave crashed through me so hard I thought I’d pass out. He kissed me until my moans stopped. Then he pulled away, straightened his dick, and said, “I’m gonna go take care of this in the shower—get some sleep.”

The water began to run, and I imagined what he looked like pumping his hand…

Go to sleep, Dani.
