My lips twitched. I'd actually liked his words but I guess it was kind of corny. And if they’d heard him say that then there was no way I wanted to get intimate here, afraid they would hear everything. That certainly wasn't on my list of things to do.
Sam slowly stood out of the water revealing a red bikini and a body to die for, then jumped out and stood next to me, grabbing my hand.
"Come on. Did you bring a swim suit?"
"No." I scrunched up my nose, kind of sad I wouldn't get to join in on the fun with them. "I didn't know I'd need one."
Sam looked over her shoulder at Parker and rolled her eyes.
"Men." I smiled with her. "I've got some extras; you can borrow one of mine. We're about the same size."
Before I could object she was pulling me back down the hallway to the other side of the T into what I could only assume to be her room. She shut the door then led me to a closet where girl clothes were strewn about. Did she stay here a lot?
"I've got the perfect one for you."
She threw clothes around until coming out holding a gold swimsuit that had a tiny halter top with a thin line of fabric for the stomach that connected to the barely there bottoms down the torso.
"I... I didn't shave, and that really doesn't look like it'll fit me. I'm fine. You guys can hang out and catch up."
She wasn't letting it go with that.
"Nonsense." She took my hand and led me to the bathroom where she unveiled a brand new razor and towel. The shower was full of women's cosmetics and smelled wonderful. "Do a quick shave then try on the swimsuit. Parker's eyes popping will be your reward. If you're really not comfortable in it then I've got others." She started closing the door on my still surprised face. "I'll wait in here."
It was really hard to dislike someone so nice and happy, though I wanted to really bad. She must keep a room here so she can visit whenever. I highly doubted she brought all this stuff with her when they high tailed it away from whoever took them captive.
The water was warm almost instantly, unlike my apartment shower. I shaved and did a quick rinse of everything, wetting my hair, then re-shaved to make sure I didn't miss anything before stepping out and toweling off with the incredibly soft cotton towel.
I put on the swimsuit and cringed. It probably didn't look horrible but I'd never dared to wear something this revealing before. She must've sensed that I was about to change because she abruptly threw the door open while shaking her head at me.
"Uh, uh. Let me see you first."
I followed her out to her bedroom and twirled when she gestured to with her finger.
Our boobs were about the same size, so it wasn't that it didn't fit that was the problem, it was my self-conscience eating away at what little nerves I had left.
"You look so sexy!" she whispered, as if not wanting the boys to hear. "Unless you want to change then let's head back."
Sam's eyes lit up, encouraging me to stay in this one.
"Alright." She danced around me in circles, her boobs jiggling dangerously close to my face. "Thank you for letting me borrow it."
“No problem. Anything here you can borrow. You don't need my permission." We started back across the hallway to the hot tub before she stopped and whispered in my ear. "Let me walk in first. I want to see Parker's face."
She disappeared, leaving me to blush by myself, taking a few deep breaths before trying to casually walk into the room. I didn't look up until reaching the edge of the tub, only to find Parker staring at me with a hunger I was starting to appreciate. Francis cleared his throat and nudged him before Sam laughed wickedly then did a cannonball off a tall rock ledge.
After the water resettled, I climbed the three stone steps before testing the water with my toe, only to look at them confused.
"It's cold."
"We can see that," Francis smirked, winking at me before I got the joke and instinctively covered my chest.
Parker moved to the side of the tub, hung over the edge and seemed to be messing with something before popping back up.
"Don't look at her that way," he warned Francis before talking to me. "Sorry about that. We don't feel the cold like you do. It should be warmed up in a few minutes."
He strode forward and sat on the edge of the tub with me, Sam doing the same on my other side.
"Sorry I didn't tell you to bring a bathing suit but I didn't know we'd be using this tonight."
The water was surprisingly already starting to warm up, getting rid of my goose-bumps.
"It's fine. I'm lucky Sam had an extra." I turned to face her. "And your towels are soo soft. Where did you get them?"
She laughed at my affection for her towels.
"I have no idea but I'll try and figure it out for you." She smiled then changed the subject. "So what's the plan for tonight? We escaped death, the real death, and I'm in the mood for celebrating."
"Not tonight." She pouted at Parker's words. "Tomorrow night we can, if Piper's able to."
Sam slid into the water then stood in front of me, confusing me.
"Please be available tomorrow. It's Saturday, the night most humans go out." She leaned forward and pushed her boobs together to enhance her cleavage, as if that would sway my vote, before a burst of laughter escaped her lips. "Sorry. That probably won't work on you. I'm used to dealing with men."
Parker shook his head at her but I smiled.
"They are very beautiful." Francis was suddenly standing next to me, looking back and forth between us two girls. "And yes I'm free tomorrow after I go to the office for a bit since I missed work this week."
"Damn. I thought this was going to turn into a very hot porn."
Francis shifted back to the other side of the tub, the water starting to bubble. I lowered myself down further, making my thighs disappear.
"You always think that. I told you before, you'll never see me naked. So let it go, turbo." Sam laughed at her own rhyme. "But about tomorrow, why don't we just make your boss think you made up your time, or that you didn't even miss work. We could do that to all your coworkers in less than an hour and then we'll have the whole rest of the weekend for chaos." She lit up, excited by her own idea. "Of course we'll give you and Parker the alone time I know you're both craving, but then we can do girl things and make the men worry."
I couldn't help but laugh. It did sound like a fun time and I didn't want to ruin her good mood, but I really would rather not mind fuck all my friends just to escape an hour or two of work.
"That won't be necessary. I can go into the office early and work for an hour and then be back. I just have to sign off on some things and make sure all my employees worked while I was gone."
Sam rolled her eyes but conceded. I lowered myself all the way past my chest, no longer feeling awkward with what I was wearing. Parker sank in next to me, pulling me onto his lap then smoothly slid his hand up my stubble free leg, resting on my upper thigh.
"I'll be with you the whole time. You know, to ensure no one followed us." My lips twitched. "We'll be back before noon, Sam, and if you behave I'll even let you girls hang out alone, against my better judgment." Parker and Francis laughed.
"These two together...trooouuuble! We know Sam's a mess, but you should've seen the death look Piper gave me earlier tonight. Or the fire in her eyes when she was berating me. No doubt Gunner lost all respect for me but it was worth it to see her all riled up like that."
"Ha. Ha. I was pissed." He already knew that but I still felt the need to explain before Parker's hand moved to cup my crotch, catching my breath in my throat. The bubbles hid his movement and the placement of his hand, but I still felt inappropriate. "Besides, would you rather hang out with spineless, twit girls, or one's who have their own mind and can take care of themselves? Well, besides the fact that I'm useless against anyone with your strength, but you get my point."
Francis chuckled and Sam stuck her tongue out at him, agreeing with me
"See what I mean. We really shouldn't leave them alone toget
her."
"You're just jealous that I like her better."
He shrugged at Sam’s comeback.
"I'm hungry. You want to go grab a snack?"
Sam agreed and they both left after saying they'd be back in an hour or two, with smirks plastered on both their faces.
When they left, I finally relaxed and leaned my head back against Parker's chest, enjoying the way his hand was lightly rubbing against me under water. I kept my mouth closed, knowing they'd hear any noise we made.
"You look so beautiful in this swimsuit but I can't wait to rip it off you," he whispered enticingly into my ear before nipping at my lobe, drawing a shudder while his friction increased.
"No." His hand stopped instantly. "I mean, they can hear us."
"They just left. I'll hear them before they return. Promise."
He stood with me in his arms, seemed to float down to the ground, then carried me back to his bedroom before placing me on my feet to grab a towel.
Instead of handing it to me, he dropped it on his bed then disappeared, reappearing moments later with one of Sam's white fluffy towels, wrapping it around me with a grin.
"I'll make sure to get lots of these. They're softer than mine for sure."
I didn't care about talking anymore. Not right now. I dabbed myself before letting the towel fall at my feet, pushed him back against the bed until he sat, then took a step back and slowly plucked at the string around my neck, his expectant gaze fueling me, my adrenaline outshining my nerves.
Once the string was untied I released it, then stood still as the swim suit slowly unpeeled from my skin, revealing my body in a slow seduction before getting stuck on my hips where I gently pulled it down past my feet, then dropped it on top of the towel.
As soon as it hit the ground he was up, throwing me on top of his bed before stripping off his shorts and joining me. I was going to buy satin sheets as soon as I got home. It was the only thing that felt as right as he did. Smooth and cold, while hard and flexible.
"I can't believe I was missing this while being caged like an animal," he growled before enclosing his lips around one of my nipples, making me arch off the bed on a gasp. "I'm never leaving again. We'll be together always."
That sounded like a dream come true.
I pushed against his chest, making him hesitate long enough to get his attention and roll him on his back before straddling his hips. Something in my eye must've assured him because he sat back and let me do what I'd planned on.
I kissed my way down his neck, solid chest, then past his rock hard abs until stopping just before his erection. I changed directions and kissed back up his stomach, feeling his body shudder as he fought for control.
"Piper."
I was just as turned on as he was, and he wasn't even touching me.
He bucked then tried to still his hips when I took his satin member into my eager mouth, yelling out wonderful praises while I savored his almost cinnamon taste. This night turned out a lot better than I thought it was going to.
FOURTEEN
Parker brought me to work around eleven then took off to run some errands but promised to be back before the hour was up. There were a dozen or so projects to go over and I rejected two of them, one of them Ted's and I know he didn't put his all into it. When you’re advertising it has to be memorable and about the product, not just something catchy that’s in right now and add the company’s logo in at the end. That’s just not good advertising.
Last night we'd been left alone for over two hours, just laying and holding each other before they returned. Parker laughed every once in a while at something he overheard them say before filling me in when I asked.
Sam had quite the personality, surprising me even more with her dirty mind if what Parker relayed was the truth. She teased Francis most of the night until I finally fell asleep.
They were up when we left. Sam wanted to make sure we were coming back and promised to have all sorts of fun ideas ready when we did. I was on strict orders to come back with my party clothes on, though I wasn't all too sure what exactly that entailed.
Hopefully Parker would have time to bring me back to my apartment so I could grab a few outfits and be prepared for anything.
I'd just signed off on the last project and picked up my phone to call Parker when someone knocked on my door, startling me.
I expected it to be Parker, if anyone, but Brian stood in my doorway with a determined look in his eyes. Uh oh.
“Hey, Brian. What are you doing here?” And how did he get up here without a security pass, mandatory for weekend access.
“Piper.” He came in, shutting my door behind him before walking to the edge of my desk, staring at me without blinking. “I think we should talk.”
“Are you alright?”
“You tell me.” Um, what the hell? “What happened last night?”
Shit.
“What do you mean?” I picked up my phone again but he stopped me.
“Put it down.” There was a deadly edge to his voice, though it wasn't nearly as scary as some of the people I've met recently. “I got lucky catching you without your body guard.” His eyes softened and he took a seat instead of towering over my desk trying to intimidate me. “All's I want is the truth. What happened last night?”
“I thought we had a good time drinking but I'm guessing that's not how you interpreted it.”
I gave him my best confused look and waited to hear what he must've learned.
He continued to watch me, waiting for me to confess to something I'm sure, but what? If I could call Parker then he could fix this instantly.
“I'm pretty sure you're in on it, unless they brain washed you too.”
I cocked my head and gave him my most unbelieving look.
“Brain washed?”
He wasn't buying it.
He withdrew his phone, hit a few buttons and then placed it on his desk before voices began sounding.
“...Please make sure he doesn't remember kissing me.”
My voice played like a siren in my quiet office. Shit. He must've sat on his phone and it started recording everything that was said. He stopped it after my voice sounded, prompting me to try and lie about it now.
“It goes on for a while in silence then finally more voices tell him not to remember anything.”
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. What the hell was I going to tell him?
“Brian, I don't really know what to say to that, but if you'll just let me call my friend I'm sure he'd be able to...”
Brian threw back his head and laughed before coming around my desk and taking a seat atop it, facing me with a fake amused face.
“I have no doubt your friend will be able to clear things up. My memory would be wiped and you'd get rid of my evidence, though I'll have you know that I have more copies of this now, since I seem to be missing a few hours of my life from last night. Can you imagine how confusing this all must be for me?”
Great, he was going for sympathy now. Fine, I'd tell him everything and when Parker got back he could fix it.
“Ok. First, know that I never wanted to involve you with any of this but you just kept showing up.” He didn't care that I'd blamed his involvement on him, instead waited to hear every word I was about to speak. “There are beings out there that have the ability to control our minds, move lightening fast and have the strength of an army. I didn't know about them until about two weeks ago, though I know that not all of them hurt humans.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” He sounded skeptical already. “Humans? Then what are they?”
“Vampires.” He arched a brow but I just continued. Might as well get it all out, whether he wanted to hear it or not. “Francis, the man you seem to have such a problem with, is one. His brother, Parker, is one. Do you remember Parker Smith, from high school?” He seemed too dazed to respond so I continued. “I know this is a lot to take in, I even thought I was dead before I fully believed, but they are real.”
I waited
as he continued to stare at me before giving a shake of his head, that deadly look returning to his gaze. He leaned forward to get closer to my face, to do what, I wasn't sure, since the next thing we knew he was dangling in Parker's unbreakable grip and struggling to be let loose.
“Francis has first rights!” Brian said the words, but seemed more confused than Parker was amused.
“Piper, why are you telling our tales to Brian? And why is he here?”
The Smith brothers seemed to share the same dislike of my friend here.
“Put him down. His phone recorded some of what happened last night and I was explaining to him what he requested to know.”
Brian started to believe what I'd told him, especially after seeing proof of Parker's strength and speed.
“Vampire?” he spoke softly, waiting for Parker to respond.
“Yes, I'm a vampire. I really wish you'd have left this alone. Now I'll have to have Francis here to manipulate your mind. Piper here has told you too much and your brain will fight me more now.”
“No, please! I promise I won't tell anyone. Please.”
He looked pathetic dangling and begging but I couldn't blame him. The only reason I knew was because Parker liked me enough to let me in on the secret.
Parker dropped him to his feet then stood next to me while withdrawing his phone.
“Sam will be pissed that we're going to be late.” I smiled at him, thinking he was just trying to scare Brian even more. “Francis, I need you at Piper's office. We've got a problem with your friend Brian.”
Though we didn't have vampire ears, Brian and I both heard Francis' deadly chuckle before Parker hung up.
“Are you finished with all your work?”
I nodded then looked back at Brian with sympathy. Was it really necessary to wipe his mind? What if they just made sure that he never told anyone, didn't have the ability to?
“Francis should be here soon, it won't take long. Then I can get you back to start girl’s night.” He smiled crookedly then kissed my forehead.
