The guys were swimming, taking turns racing each other down the length of the pool, and Gabby and I relaxed in lounge chairs near the bar.
“I can’t believe it. I can’t believe Mr. Reynolds was such a creep. How long has he been watching you?”
“A while, I think. He and Kendra started going to the hotel together at least a month ago.”
“The fact that she was involved with everything–crazy! I heard her dad flipped out this morning and is sending her off to some all-girls boarding school in Connecticut.”
“Good. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person.”
“Onto a better subject…” Gabby said quietly, a smirk pulling at her lips. “You need to spill. What’s going on with West? He was like, agentlemanto you today. Last I heard he was fucking the cheerleader skanks in a hot tub over the weekend. And don’t even think I missed the two of you coming out here with messy hair and wrinkled clothes.”
I smiled and looked over to West as he swam in the pool, gliding across the water. He reached the wall of the pool and heaved himself up over the ledge, climbing out dripping wet. His perfect body glistened under droplets of water, the sun accentuating every defined muscle, sending a flutter straight to my crotch.
“Earth to Ashtyn.” Gabby waved her hand in front of my face. West smiled as he dried himself off, his eyes never leaving mine.
“Shit, sorry. He didn’t fuck them. He was in the hot tub with them–which was super douchey considering he never even told me he was pissed at me.”
“Hmmm,” Gabby said, eyeing me closely.
“He didn’t screw them, Gabby. But if he pulls anything like that again, I’m slicing his balls clean off his body.”
“I just don’t want to see you hurt again. Or ever.”
“I know,” I said, smiling at my friend.
“Whatcha guys talking about?” Bronx asked as he and the guys dried off and sat in the chairs around ours. “You doing okay?”
“I am. Everything went like we planned,” I said as West picked my feet up and sat on my lounge chair, putting my calves on his thighs. He massaged my muscles with his thick fingers.
“I’m gonna order some pizza,” Axel announced.
“Can we talk for a minute?” Cade asked Gabby, his face filled with sadness and a splash of anger.
She looked at me quickly and then nodded, taking Cade’s outreached hand and following him into the pool house.
“That’s interesting,” West mused with a smile.
“Is he finally going to forgive her for doing absolutely nothing wrong?” I asked.
“She fucked Everett after grinding her ass on Cade for hours,” Axel said, never looking up from his phone while ordering our lunch.
“He was ignoring her for his stupid fan club.”
“He was probably playing hard to get,” said Axel.
“And how’d that work out for him? He’s been pouting since it happened and Gabby’s been made to feel like an outcast. It’s bullshit and I hope he’s groveling right now,” I huffed.
“Oh, he is. He told me he was going to pull the panties out of his ass and apologize to her. He just wanted to do it in private,” said West.
It was about time he came to his senses. Maybe he’d think twice before entertaining other girls when he was spending time with Gabby. If not, she might find another hot guy to jump. I smiled to myself at the thought.
West dropped my legs and turned to me, crawling up my body, leaving kisses on my legs and stomach.
“Seriously, you have to fucking do that now?” Bronx asked, pulling his sunglasses down from his head to cover his eyes.
West smiled as he lowered his body onto mine, careful not to press into the bruises that marred my chest. I loved the feel of him, all his weight pressing me into the chair. He rested his head between my boobs and I pet his hair, running my hands through the damp silky strands.
“You’re lucky I don't rip her shorts off and eat her pussy right here.”
