"I don't want either Lorna... Remember Chad... my boyfriend, not to mention the fact that my parents plan on adopting them and they'll be my brothers." I looked at her in disgust.2
"Bitch please, you can't tell me you don't find them ridiculously attractive."
She rolled her eyes at me. I did find them attractive, but I didn't plan on acting on it.
What had happened with Jonas at breakfast was a fluke and I would never put myself in that kind of a situation again. Although I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to kiss him.
"Nope... not even a little." I lied, feigning disgust.1
This night was going about exactly how I suspected it would. Jonas and Tyler had been gone at work when we'd arrived home and I'd had to practically lasso Lorna to keep her from going to Jonas' room and snooping through his stuff. She was absolutely impossible when it came to a boy that she wanted.
"Girl's dinner's ready!" My mom yelled from downstairs.
"I shouldn't eat, I don't want to look fat for Jonas." Lorna said, turning sideways in the mirror and running her hand over her stomach.2
"My one piece doesn't seem so impractical now does it?" I scoffed at her, sporting a grin.
I planned to throw back a couple of cheeseburgers, thankfully I'd inherited my mother's metabolism and could eat pretty much whatever I wanted.9
We made our way downstairs and I glimpsed the rusty pick up truck that Jonas and Tyler shared in the driveway.
Great, let the show begin. My mom did a double take as we walked out the back door, shooting a disapproving look toward me when she saw Lorna's bikini choice.
I thought I even saw my dad blush a bit at it and I wanted to literally die of embarrassment that this was my best friend.3
"Burgers or dogs, girls?" My dad asked.
"None for me thanks." Lorna said, scanning the backyard for the boys, who were nowhere to be found.
I'll take two burgers please." I smiled to him. "Throw a hotdog on there too." I added, might as well eat Lorna's portion if she wasn't going to. My dad gave me a wide grin and started piling food on my plate.
I took a seat beside Tristan who had recently become my favourite new person in our house, based on the eye roll she gave to Lorna when she walked seductively over to lawn chair and planted herself in it, bringing her thick sunglasses over her eyes, although the sun was setting in the sky.
It was humid and hot and the two tons of warm food I was consuming was making the heat even more unbearable.
"Want to swim?" I asked Tristan, deciding I'd have more fun with her.1
"Yep." She said, racing to the pool and yelling "last one in is a rotten egg." While she was already mid-jump.
"No fair Tristan, you were already in!" I joked with her, earning a giggle.
"Don't be a sore loser." She said as I jumped in behind her. "Want to race?" She asked, as she took off to the other side. I could see that I was not going to win anything with her, but she had me laughing uncontrollably as she flailed around the pool trying to swim.
"Your friend is kind of a bitch." She
whispered to me as I made my way over to her. Lorna must have heard because she lifted her glasses and rolled her eyes at the little girl.2
"You probably shouldn't say that word little one." I laughed, but part of me was sad that she even knew those words at such a young age.1
"She probably shouldn't be one." She responded, giving me a toothless smile. She had lost her two front teeth and everything she said had a little whistle to it.5
"She's right Tristan." Jonas' voice sounded behind me with a serious tone. He gave me a wink. I hadn't noticed him and Tyler while I was occupied losing my swim tournament to Tristan. He squatted down by the edge.
"You're supposed to wait a half hour after eating to swim, it's no wonder you can't keep up with her." He laughed at me.
"Yes, loser!" Tristan yelled as she started to flail her way across the pool again. "I'm going to win!" She yelled.
I lifted my eyebrows to Jonas and sunk under the water to swim after her. Coming up on the other side, I looked back and saw Lorna sitting at the edge with him, his eyes staring at her chest as she threw her head back in the fakest laugh I'd ever heard.
I shouldn't have been jealous, but I was, he didn't look at me that way. Fighting back an eye roll, I lowered myself under the water again and felt a tug on my ankle, yanking me out deeper. I flailed my arms in resistance, but deeper and deeper I went, until I was released and finally resurfaced where the water was over my head.2
I turned around, treading water, to see Tyler's head pop up. He ran a hand over his face, clearing the water droplets, before beginning to laugh. He splashed some water at me and disappeared under the surface again. Resurfacing on the other side of me.
"You!" I screeched at him, diving for his head and pushing him under. We came back up and began to laugh.
"You better apologize for that one." He smirked at me his warm hands finding my waist under the cool water, threatening to dunk me again.
"No way!" I laughed grabbing his shoulders and pushing him under again before he had the chance.
He pulled me down with him, not letting me back up right away, but tickling me under water until all the breath I'd been holding in my mouth escaped with a laugh in a giant heap of bubbles.
I came up coughing and locked eyes with Jonas who was glaring in our direction. Lorna continued to talk to him, looking annoyed that he had diverted his attention to me.
Looking back at Tyler I saw him wearing the same expression as Jonas as they stared each other down.
His long fingers wrapped around my wrist and pulled me over a little closer, prompting Jonas to stand and throw his shirt over his head, discarding it to the ground.1
"Time for a swim." He said, grabbing Lorna under the arms and tossing her in.
She squealed as she hit the water and he dove in toward me, surfacing a few feet away. His eyes locked on to mine and I felt myself move toward him.
Tyler squeezed my wrist lightly before letting go.2
Attracted
I hated that I had this pull toward him. Lorna stood up complaining immediately about her wet hair, and pushing her lower lip out in a pout toward Jonas.
"Time to get out Tristan, we've got baths to have before bed." My mom called for her.
"Don't be in too much longer kids, we have church in the morning." She finished.
"Ok mom, love you." I smiled back, hating that they were going in, because now Lorna's seduction plan would be on full display.
Jonas looked at me one last time before disappearing under water.
I felt his large hands wrap either side of my thighs and his fingers sink into them, sending my stomach catapulting into my chest. He lifted me from the water on his shoulders.
"Chicken fight!" He yelled toward Tyler.
I pretended to not notice the way his hands were kneading into my thighs, although I couldn't help my body from reacting to him.
Goosebumps covered my flesh and I couldn't hide that my nipples had hardened at his touch, not in this swimsuit. It had no padding whatsoever. I could only hope that no one would see.5
"You a little cold Lyla?" Lorna laughed from Tyler's shoulders as they made their way over to us.
Her hands slowly rubbing through his hair. Mental note: find a new best friend. I seriously hated her right now.
Tyler's eyes drifted immediately to my chest and I brought my arms up to cover myself.4
"No need to be shy." Lorna continued, "it's ok if you want your brother, he's not actually your brother anyway, you do know that don't you?" She was trying to humiliate me.11
"Lorna! Stop! I don't want anyone, I'm just cold and I'm done swimming." I bit out, trying to wriggle free of Jonas' grasp, but Lorna reached out and tried to knock me off of his shoulders as if the game was still on and I wasn't already trying to escape.
I grabbed her arms in response and we began to grab and shove each other, me wanting to get
this over with, her trying to put on a show for the boys.
Lorna being two sizes bigger than me was definitely to my disadvantage and I let myself fall back, but Jonas wouldn't let go.
He just kept pulling me back up. This was the most annoying game ever.1
"Ugh, let me fall Jonas! I'm so done with this!" I huffed in annoyance and he sunk below the surface, taking me with him.
Using his hands under water, he flipped me around on his shoulders so that his mouth was right between my legs and I swear I felt his teeth graze over my most sensitive area, making me shudder as I felt a ping of pleasure shoot through my lower body.
I bucked a little to get away and he wrapped his arms around my back before finding my hands and letting my legs loose as he held me close.
He slid himself up my body until our faces re-emerged from the water just inches apart. He stared at me as my heart beat out of my chest at what had just happened.6
His fingers were still braided with mine and he brought them behind his neck.
I felt mine lace into his hair with want as he released them and slid his down my arms and slowly down my body, only stopping along the way to rub a thumb under my heavy breasts.
Why couldn't I control myself around him. This was wrong.
His hands were back on my hips squeezing possessively, and rubbing, his eyes looking at my face for any sign of invitation, and god those eyes, my legs wrapped around his waist, pulling our bodies together and I met his erection with surprise.
His head came forward resting on mine, bringing our lips dangerously close, and he moved his hands to my bottom pulling me into him at the same time that he pushed his hardness against me.
My breath hitched and my hands slid from his neck down to his chest, where I let them trace the muscles of his pecs. This was going to end so bad if I didn't stop it.
Luckily most of it was going on under the dark water so aside from our close proximity no one could really see anything.8
Jonas' hand shot to the back of my neck jolting me forward. "Tonight Princess, my room." He growled into my ear, slamming his erection against me hard before releasing me and swimming to the edge, leaving me there panting.
I looked toward Lorna and Tyler. She had him cornered under the diving board against the wall. I could tell he was trying to be polite, but she was practically dry humping him right there.
"Time to go in guys." I yelled, connecting eyes with Tyler and giving him an apologetic wink, to which he glared. Maybe he'd seen more than I thought.
"God, Lyla, you're such a buzz kill..." Lorna whisper yelled at me in my room as we changed into dry clothes.
"Sorry to interrupt your plan to seduce these two, but I'm tired Lorna, these kids wake up at the crack of dawn... Plus it really weirds me out that you are so into them." I was being honest. I wished she'd just give it a break.
I didn't like the fact that she was putting me in uncomfortable situations with them. I was not about to meet Jonas in his room tonight, and now I couldn't stop thinking about it.
What he wanted to do to me. Why I was so into him, when I had a boyfriend.
All be it Chad had moved away a year ago and we'd only seen each other once since then, we still talked at least twice a week and he had been my first.
I owed him enough to at least stay faithful.4
"Sorry that I don't have the self-control like you do, but I'm also single, and it's not like the guys at school are jumping at the opportunity to date the Principal's daughter."
That was a fact. Poor Lorna never had a date to anything, her dad was super strict and everyone at school hated him, that had kind of had a trickle down effect and by default everyone had ended up hating her too, and not just because she was a shameless flirt. In fact, I think the fact that everyone hated her was the driving force behind her clingy personality.1
"I know, I know... I'm sorry. Can you just tone it down a little, it's seriously cringe worthy to watch." I set my hand on her shoulder, and as if I hadn't even spoken.
"Do you think they'd want to play spin the bottle?" she was absolutely maddening.
"Why don't you ask me if I want to play spin the bottle Lorna." I said bluntly.
"Please, please Lyla, please do this."
"No." I stated flatly, throwing myself on to my bed and groaning. Why did my mom do this to me?
I pulled the blanket up over my legs and buried my face into my pillow. "I'm going to sleep, want to watch a movie?"
"No, that's no fun, how can you sleep right now Lyla?" She pulled the blanket down.
"Stop! I'm tired, and I live here with them, so the effect has kind of worn off for me. I'm putting on a chic flick to fall asleep to, you can watch it or you can sit here all night, but I'm tired."
I flipped on a movie and pulled the cover back up to my shoulder. I was out in two seconds.1
I woke up to someone poking my forehead, and the giggle of Lorna from across the room on my futon. I blinked my eyes open, and Jonas laughed down at me.
"You're moaning my name in your sleep Princess." He whispered at my ear.3
"What? No, I'm not! Why are you here Jonas, why are you in my bed, why are you even in my room?" I pulled the covers up over myself, making sure there was no way to view the fact that I was wearing only my panties and a tank top.
"Actually, you were." Lorna laughed at me. "We all heard it." She smiled at me, and I saw that she was laying with Tyler behind her on the futon.
The movie that I had started was over and they were watching some action flick.3
"Ugh, I hate you all! Seriously! Jonas, get out of my bed. I'm in my underwear. Out! out of my room." They all laughed at me.
"I don't mind Delilah." Jonas winked at me, lifting the blanket and taking a peep underneath.
"Stop! What part of get out do you guys not get?!" I was going to kill them all as soon as I had pants on.
"What part of get out do you guys not get!" Jonas mocked in a high pitch voice, reaching down and tickling me.
I slapped against him, but he grabbed my hand and kept tickling until he had somehow made his way under the covers with me. "I like you moaning my name Princess, it's hot." He whispered against my temple.
I turned to face him. "I have a boyfriend Jonas... there is nothing between us." I looked at him as seriously as I could.
"Then tell me Princess, why weren't you moaning your boyfriend's name?" He whispered to me, running his finger down the side of my cheek, then grabbing me under the blanket and pulling me toward him.
"I can make you feel better than he can Lyla." His breath brushed over my lips and warmth spread through my core.
I didn't even remember what I was fighting momentarily. My whole body just turned to gel "You're going to be begging me not to stop once you let me get started on you sweetheart."5
"Is that so?" I asked, desperately trying to clear the cloud of lust fogging my memory as to just what I was fighting him on.
"Oh, that is so Delilah. I want to hear that pretty little mouth moaning my name again Princess."
He purred, running his thumb over my lips and separating them enough for me to give it a little bite. "Mmm Delilah." He thickened his accent and my name sounded like heaven pouring from his mouth. "I want you under me, screaming my name." He slid his thumb down my chin and neck, letting his hand wrap around the base of my neck and giving a little squeeze.4
I felt my breath coming in deep pants, and realized that so was his. He was under the blanket with me in my underwear, lowering his hands down my body. I started to come back to reality.
"No Jonas." My voice was totally unconvincing, it sounded more like a plea for more. I grabbed his hand and pushed it back toward him.
"You don't sound so sure Princess." He moved his mouth closer to mine and let his tongue reach out and graze over my lips, as he took the opportunity of our hands together to shove mine under the covers to his erection.
"I'm so hard right now Lyla." He dug my hand over himself, bucking his hips
to meet it.1
"Jonas, stop, let me go." I pulled away, rolling to the other side, trying to fight myself from turning around and letting him continue his assault.
He was good, I'd give him that, he almost had me. I felt myself rubbing my legs together with want, this was definitely going to complicate things.
Break up with your Boyfriend
I scooted myself away from Jonas and closed my eyes, since clearly no one was going to leave my bedroom.
I felt the bed sink down as he moved closer to me. I let out a sigh, rolling my eyes, as his hand snaked around my body.
His fingers gently traced circles over my stomach, tickling me in the best way.
He didn't make a move to try anything else so I let him continue. Eventually I drifted back to sleep.
My alarm woke me up at seven and I looked around my room to find it completely empty. Even Lorna was gone.
Oh god. I sprang up and threw on some shorts, padding across the hall to Tyler's room, I threw the door open.
"Tyler, where's Lorna?" I whispered. He looked up at me groggily, wiping the sleep from his eyes.
"I don't know." He yawned. "She was pissed that I wouldn't let her sleep in my bed so she stormed out of here last night, I thought she went to your room." He rolled his eyes.
She would. She only stayed last night to try and hook up with one of the twins and when it didn't go her way, she threw a typical Lorna fit.
I needed a new best friend. I moved quickly to Jonas' room and made my way up the stairs as quietly as possible.1
Walking in, I saw Lorna in her bra and panties sprawled out over Jonas' bed. The shower was running in the bathroom.
That little shit. I was instantly seeing red. I didn't have any claim on Jonas, but the thought of him hitting on me and then taking Lorna to bed made me sick.3
I threw open the bathroom door, pulling the shower curtain wide open. Jonas whipped toward me wide eyed.
"Are you kidding me right now Jonas? Did you sleep with her?" I asked him, feeling anger building in me as I watched the corners of his lips turn slightly up.
"Why? Are you jealous Princess?" He raised a brow, letting his smile spread across his face.
