“What didn’t he do?” TJ laughed and looked at Cody. “I remember a night with four girls, two sets of twin sisters.”
“Hey,” Cody said, his voice slightly angry, but I couldn’t help but notice a proud smile on his face. “They came to me.”
“Uh huh,” TJ said. “Like those two study-abroad friends from Spain.”
“Hey, is it my fault they both wanted me to show them my room?” Cody laughed now. “They both enjoyed my bed.”
“Cody!” I shouted at him, my jaw slack. “You hooked up with twin sisters and two friends?”
“What can I say?” He winked at me. “Double the trouble, double the fun.”
“You do realize you’re boasting about your sick ways to your own sister?” I poked him in the shoulder. “You’re supposed to be pretending you’re virginal and pure.”
“Hahaha.” Cody laughed again. “And you would believe that why?”
“Would you like me telling you about all the different guys I hooked up with?” I said to him, feeling miffed.
“What guys?” TJ said, and his eyes narrowed as he looked at me.
“Yeah, what guys?” Cody said, no longer laughing. “You’d better not have been doing anything Nonno wouldn't be happy with.”
“I’m a grown woman. I can do what I want,” I said, glaring at him.
“No, you can’t,” he said and glared back at me.
“You can’t tell me what to do.”
“Yes, I can,” he said with his bossy big-brother tone that I detested. “I’m your brother and I will make sure you stay on the right path if I have to shoot someone.”
“Maybe I’ve already strayed from the right path,” I said and I could see both TJ and Cody glaring at me.
“Hey, guys, should we play?” Sally interrupted and tapped Cody on the shoulder. “And if you pick Mila’s name or she picks you, you guys can just pick again.”
“Fine,” Cody said with a huff and then gave Sally a warm smile. “You’re looking pretty tonight, Sally.”
“Thanks.” She practically beamed at him.
“Let’s all have a seat,” TJ said and I felt him brushing past me. “Oh, sorry,” he said and stopped as his hand slid down my back and rested on my ass.
“Sorry for what?” I asked, confused as I looked up at his smoldering gaze.
He bent down and whispered in my ear softly. “Leading you down the wrong path.”
“What wrong path?” I asked, my face flushed from his close contact.
“The one that will have you blushing and your brother cussing,” he said again lightly and I felt him give my ass a quick slap before he walked away and sat down next to the fire. I stood there feeling confused and turned on, and wondered what he had planned. It definitely seemed like he was coming on to me, even though he was still teasing me and driving me crazy. And even though he was here with Barbie and doing heavens knew what with her. TJ seemed hell-bent on teasing me and I didn't know if he was deliberately playing me to make me feel embarrassed or if he was going to carry through on his word. I knew that in my heart of hearts, I wanted him to follow through on everything he was saying. My ass was still tingling from his touch and I wondered how far he was going to take it. I already knew how far I was willing to go.

"Truth or dare, Mila?” TJ's voice was smooth as he looked at me.
"I don't know." I looked over at Sally and she shrugged. She didn't know what to tell me to do and I didn't know what to do.
"Come on, sis," Cody said, sounding like he was already half-drunk. "Pick truth. I want to find out all your secrets."
"Dare," I blurted out loudly, feeling panicked. What if he asked me about TJ? How embarrassing would that be? So, everyone, I’ve had a crush on TJ Walker for years and I came up to the lake house this year with the plan of seducing him. Yeah, that would go down really well. TJ would most probably laugh and say he knew it all along and then Cody would call my parents and get me sent to some convent in Italy or something.
"Okay, pick a name out of the basket," TJ said with a grin. “And then pick the dare out of the dare basket.”
"Okay," I said softly, hoping that the dares we’d all written and put in the basket weren’t too crazy. I mean, one of my dares was for people to kiss for two minutes, in the hope that I could kiss TJ, or Sally could kiss Cody. I put my hand in the first basket and picked out a piece of paper with a name on it. My heart skipped a beat as I opened it up slowly.
"I hope you picked me, darling," Troy said, his eyes gleaming at me. I ignored his face as I unfolded the paper. He was really getting on my nerves. I wasn’t sure what sort of game he thought he was playing. He was paying more attention to Barbie, and I think it was clear to everyone that he thought her almost-naked breasts were far superior to my covered-up ones. Not that I cared. All I could think about was TJ and the way he’d been staring at me all night. My eyes read the paper in front of me and my heart stopped beating for a second. I tried not to grin as I read TJ's name in short, clean black handwriting.
"Who did you get?" Sally asked excitedly. I think she could tell from the sudden change in my demeanor that it was TJ's name in my hand.
"I got TJ," I said with a fake scowl, pretending that I was upset. I looked over at Sally and she winked at me and made an ‘ohlala’ movement with her mouth.
"Ooh," Cody said with a laugh. "I hope you guys get my dare. You'll have to go and get more beer from the grocery store."
"That's not a dare." I rolled my eyes at him as I put my hand in the dare basket and pulled out a piece of paper. I was hoping it wasn’t something too crazy and absurd. I would be happy with a kiss. Maybe even a French kiss. Maybe even being handcuffed together. That would actually even be kind of exciting. I unfolded the new piece of paper and I could feel my skin burning as I read it. I felt a sudden surge of excitement and shame. This could not be right, could it? Who would have made a dare like this? I just didn't understand why someone would write this as a dare. Then I looked at Barbie and I realized she would die for the chance to do what she’d written.
"Read it aloud, Mila," TJ said, staring at me with a weird look on his face. I stared into his eyes for a few seconds and swallowed hard. He looked way too serious, way too sexy, and way too out-of-my league. I’d be happy with the kiss, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to go completely naked.
"I'm not doing this," I said, my face red as I wondered if I’d shaved recently and if my boobs would look saggy in the moonlight. Saggy, wet boobs were not the same as boobs pushed up in tight lingerie as I lay on the bed with my hair hanging in my face.
"You have to," Cody said as he swigged from his beer. I wanted to slap him. If he knew what the dare was, he wouldn’t be saying that. No siree.
"No, I don't."
"Stop being a baby," he said with a laugh and I glared at him as he gave me a mocking look. I’d show my big brother that he couldn’t just keep talking to me like a little baby.
"Fine. I'll do it." I shook my head at him and then looked at TJ. “Get up and get ready to take your clothes off, TJ, we're going skinny-dipping in the lake."
"Oh hell no, you’re not." Cody's demeanor changed right away as he jumped up and put his beer down. Sally, Barbie, and Troy looked over at him with surprised looks on their faces. They were likely surprised at how quickly his mood had changed, but they had no idea that this was how Cody always acted with me. I felt sorry for his kids. He was going to be a tyrant.
"Yes, we are." I walked over to TJ and grabbed his arm. "Let's go."
"TJ, you cannot skinny-dip with my sister." Cody looked at him and sounded pissed.
"I'll take her to the lake, but I'll make sure she's safe," TJ said. "After all, a dare is a dare. Plus it's dark, so no one will see us."
"I don't want you seeing my sister naked." Cody was starting to sound even more pissed off and I could see his face turning red as he glared at his best friend.
"I'll close my eyes." TJ shrugged and then looked at me. "I don'
t particularly want to do this myself," he said and I saw him look me up and down. "Let's go and get this done with," he said and grabbed my arm and led me down to the lake.
We walked quickly and I could feel my heart racing. Were we really going to do this? Was TJ really only doing it because it was a dare? My answer came swiftly as we stopped by some chairs next to the lake and I watched him pulling his shirt off and turning to me with a grin as he dropped it to the ground.
“Get your bra and your panties off, baby, it’s time for me to get you wet.” He bent down and splashed some water on my legs, his green eyes shooting promises of deeds unknown as he stared up at me and then stood back up. “What are you waiting for?” he said as he started to unbutton his pants.
“What are you doing?” I asked stupidly as I gazed at his chest, my eyes devouring his abs and his muscular pecs. We had gone from 0-100 in two seconds flat and my brain was sending warning signals all through my body. I wasn’t sure if I was feeling panicked about going skinny-dipping or if I was feeling panicked because I had an almost-naked TJ standing a mere inch from me.
“Like what you see?” he said as he flexed his pecs and moved them back and forth. My eyes were mesmerized by the movement and I wanted to reach out and touch his chest to see what it felt like when he moved them back and forth.
“TJ,” I squeaked as he grabbed my hand and put my fingers on his right pec and ran them down his chest on the way to the top of his pants. I wasn’t sure if he had ESP or what, but the feeling of his chest moving was quite enjoyable. “TJ,” I squeaked again as he held my hand firmly and pressed it against the top of his pants. “What are you doing?”
“I want you to make me wet as well,” he said, his lips close to mine. “It’s only fair,” he said again, and I could feel his breath on my lips as I felt something underneath his pants twitching. He laughed at the look on my face and then pulled away, leaving me standing there breathlessly just staring at him. “Last one in is a dork,” he shouted and pulled his pants and boxer shorts down swiftly before running into the lake. I stared at his naked ass as he ran and all I could think was, Oh, my God, I’m about to skinny-dip with TJ Walker, and his ass is tan, when highlighted by the moon. How did he have a tan ass? My hands flew to my top and I pulled it off without even thinking. I needed to get into that water with him. I wasn’t sure if he was testing me, but I didn’t care. This was like all my dreams come true plus 100. I wasn’t going to let anything get in the way of some possible sexy time with him.
“You coming?” TJ said, shouting from the water as I stood there in my bra. “If you don’t get in here in twenty seconds, I’ll come and get you.”
“Come and get me, then,” I said giddily, already feeling like I was having an out-of-body experience. I froze as I saw him coming towards me, his body gloriously naked and drenched in water as he approached me. My jaw fell as I stared at his manhood: strong, thick, and majestic. I swallowed hard as he came closer and closer and I could feel my throat becoming drier and drier. I couldn’t move and I felt like a statue as he stopped in front of me, towering over me, his dark hair slick on his head as drops fell from his face onto my shoulders.
“I’m here,” he said and I felt his wet hand on my back, touching my bra strap.
“I’m ready,” I said softly and I felt him unclasping my bra. We both stood there in silence as my bra fell to the ground.
“Those are the words I’ve been waiting for,” he said with a smirk, his fingers lightly running across my collarbone and then down the valley between my breasts. I gasped as his fingers ran down to my stomach and played in my belly button before continuing down to my shorts. He didn’t even pause as he undid the button on my shorts and then slid the zipper down. I grabbed his hand then, feeling panicked at what I was about to do, and my finger accidentally grazed his hardness. I felt and heard his sharp intake of breath at my touch, and his fingers stilled.
“You’re never going to forget tonight, Mila,” he said as he whispered into my ear. “Now take off your panties and join me in the lake before I do something everyone on the lake will be talking about in the morning.” He took hold of my fingers lightly and brushed them against his cock again. This time the touch was deliberate and sensual, both of us knowing what we were doing. I took a hold of him and ran my fingers down the length of him, barely able to breathe and I could see his eyes darkening.
“Join me in the lake,” he said, his right hand reaching up to caress my right breast. His fingers were cold against my skin and I shivered slightly as he grabbed my breast and rubbed his palm against my nipple. I moaned involuntarily and he grunted, squeezing my breast even more tightly and pinching my nipple before stepping back and releasing his hold on me. “Join me in the lake. You can leave on your panties or take them off,” he said gruffly. “Whichever one you decide will let me know what you want to do next.”
“What about Barbie?” I said breathlessly.
“What about Troy?” he said and raised an eyebrow before shrugging and walking back into the lake slowly and confidently. I stood there for about ten seconds before I pulled my panties down and followed him into the water. It was freezing cold against my body and I yelped as I surged down into the water, letting it cover me completely, so that I could get acclimated to the cold water quicker. I felt his strong hands grabbing me and pulling me out of the water and his face looked down at me with a stern look.
“What are you doing, Mila?” he said with a frown as he held me.
“I was just getting my body adjusted to the temperature,” I said, glaring at him and then gasping as I felt his fingers sliding down my waist and in between my legs, rubbing me gently in my most private of spots.
“What are you doing?” I gasped, pushing against his shoulders as my breasts brushed against his chest.
“Checking to see if you were wearing any underwear,” he said, his fingers still lingering between my legs and rubbing on my clit.
“Well, you know the answer now,” I said, feeling turned on as I grabbed his arm and pulled it back.
“Yes, I do,” he said as he finally removed his fingers and then grabbed me around the waist and pulled me closer to him, so that my body was now pushed up against his as the water splashed over us.
“So now what?” I said, my voice squeaking as I felt his hardness moving against my stomach. I wasn’t even sure how he was still hard as I thought men grew flaccid in cold water.
“Now you tell me that you want me more than you want Troy,” he said, his hands falling to my ass and squeezing.
“No, you tell me you want me more than you want Barbie,” I said and I felt myself losing my balance and moving my legs up around his waist.
“Was there any ever any doubt?” he said as he bent down to kiss me. “Right now, I want to fuck you more than I’ve ever wanted to fuck anyone else before.”
Chapter Twelve
TJ
Damn! I knew from the look on Mila’s face that she didn’t appreciate my last words. She didn’t want to hear how badly I wanted to fuck her. She didn’t want to hear how her bud had quivered against my fingers as I’d rubbed her. How I’d felt her releasing her juices against me even though we were in the water. Her breasts felt soft and hard as they pressed into my chest and her legs were wrapped around me tightly as if she were scared she was going to drown. Fuck. How badly I just wanted to drive my hardness into her and make her mine. It would be so easy. I was so close to her opening and she was ready for me. I could feel it in the way her pussy had been pulsing as I’d rubbed her clit. She wanted me inside of her, even if she didn’t know it. One shift of my body to the right, one movement of her right leg up just a little higher, and I’d be inside of her, making her mine.
But I knew that now was not the time to be playing with fire. Everything was too complicated. I needed to play it cool. Especially as Cody was here. He was going to be trouble and I didn’t know what to do. He was my best friend, but even his wishes couldn’t stop me from doing what I w
as going to do.
“TJ.” Mila gasped against my mouth as her lips kissed me back hesitantly. I could tell that she didn’t really know what was going on but that she was willing to give me whatever I wanted.
“Mila,” I said, teasing her and tugging on her lower lip with my teeth. She moaned and shifted her position against me and I could feel my cock twitching to be inside of her. My hand moved up to her breasts and squeezed gently, my fingers rubbing against her cold and hard nipples, doing things that I wanted my lips to be doing.
“Oh TJ,” she cried out and pulled away from me, her eyes wide with passion and shock.
“Sorry, I got a bit carried away,” I said, treading water next to her, my body missing the closeness of hers in the cold water.
“You seem to be doing a lot of that today,” she said, her lips still slightly parted. My cock grew harder as I thought about her sucking me and taking me deep into her mouth. I looked away from her mouth then. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to resist fucking her if I continued thinking about her moans and her groans as I fucked her into oblivion.
“I’m going for a swim,” she said, her eyes looking slightly anxious as I stared at her. She could probably see in my face that I was feeling confused. Maybe I even looked gruff. Maybe I was scaring her, looking like some wolf in the night that wanted to eat her. She drifted onto her back and floated away from me. I watched as her breasts glistened through the water. She looked like a nymph that was tempting me. Staring at her made me think of Shakespeare and poetry. The moon made her body glow enticingly and I could feel myself stilling as I watched her. She was such a work of art, a beauty to behold that was both innocent and tempting at the same time.
“Above the lake a mist was lifting; through milky clouds across the sky, the ruddy mood was softly drifting, when water drew the friar’s eye.” I whispered the words to Alexander Pushkin’s poem, The Water-Nymph to myself as I watched her, moving in the water. I felt surprisingly at ease, as if the moment were magical. And then something inside me stirred; my loins grew tense and aching. The wolf was awakened. And I was ready to take what was mine.
