After the Ex Games (5 page)

This
was what love was. I couldn’t take this away from Brandon. He had a family now and I couldn’t break that up because I wanted to come clean. I had to wait until he was ready.

“I’m not drinking.” Meg shook her head and yawned. “I have an early day tomorrow. I’m going to go and see if I can find any leads on Nancy. I don’t want a hangover to delay me in the morning.”

“That’s smart.” Katie nodded. “No drink for me either. I’ve a feeling I shouldn’t be drinking right now anyways. Do you want me to help you tomorrow, Meg?”

“No, I’m just going to go to the library. Do some
research. See what I can find out about David and Maria.” She bit her lower lip and the room went quiet.

“Meg, I told you I have a private detective on the case. He’s been searching for the last two weeks. Let’s see what he can find.” The words came out of my mouth smoothly
, and I watched as Brandon filled the crystal tumblers with the silky brown liquid.

“I know, but after everything
…” She gave me a look. “I want to know more about David.”

“I see
,” I sighed and cringed as I felt Brandon giving me a murderous look.

I hadn’t told him that I’d told Meg about the letter. I knew he wasn’t telling Katie anything. He didn’t want her to panic. I
thought he’d been more hopeful than I had these last two weeks. We’d heard nothing from anyone, and it was easy to just exist in our own microcosm of the world. It was easy to pretend that the end of the world wasn’t looming. However, the letter and the bullet had changed all that. Now things were suddenly a lot darker and much more sinister. We were more than just targets to bring down. We were targets to kill.

Katie spoke up and turned on the TV.
“Let’s watch Identity Thief.” She was the only one in the room who had absolutely no clue that everything was completely off. “Let’s not discuss Maria tonight.” She rubbed her eyes and stretched. “Forgive me, but I’ve had more than enough of both Marias. I just don’t know if I can deal with any more.”

“I agree. Let’s just relax tonight.” Meg gave me a naughty smile. “I think we all need to just relax tonight. We’re all safe. Let’s just enjoy the evening. We can worry about everything else in the morning.”

“Yes.” Brandon handed me my drink. “We’ll discuss everything in the morning.”

“You guys can lie down if you want.” Katie smiled at Meg and
me on the couch. She was snuggled on Brandon’s lap, and he was stroking her hair.

“That’s okay.” Meg shook her head and adjusted her legs for about the tenth time.

“Seriously, Meg. You guys can spoon. It’ll be more comfortable.” Katie paused to laugh as Jason Bateman chased Melissa McCarthy on the screen. “You might enjoy the movie more.”

“We’re enjoying the movie
,” Meg protested.

“I haven’t heard a laugh from either of you.”

“That’s because the movie’s not that funny.” Meg laughed then and I squeezed her hand tight. I loved hearing the sound of her laugh. It was throaty and bubbly and it stirred my emotions every single time.

“Whatever.” Katie rolled her eyes. “I’m choosing the next movie.”

“What did you decide on?” I said, worried she’d say something like
The Notebook
or something equally heart-wrenching.

“I thought we could watch
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
.” She laughed as Brandon groaned and then continued. “Joke. I want to watch a movie called
Damage
. It stars Jeremy Irons, and it’s super hot. It’s about this man who has an affair with his son’s fiancée.”

“Way to spoil the movie.” Brandon tickled her.

“No, no, that’s not a spoiler. Trust me. You find that out at the beginning. It’s a good movie. Very exciting and shocking. Brandon, stop.” She giggled. “Trust me. It’s good. The ending is jaw-dropping.”

“Oh God.” I rolled my eyes. “Don’t tell me
. All three of them end up in a relationship together?”

“No.” She shook her head. “It’s even juicier than that.
”

“What happens?” Meg
asked, sounding intrigued.

“Let’s just say, the ending is unexpected. That’s all I’m saying. We have to watch it first.”

“Fine.” Meg jumped up. “Where are your blankets? If I’m going to make myself comfy, I’m going to need to be warm as well.”

“Let me show you.” Katie got up and walked towards the door.

“I’ll keep you warm.” I grabbed ahold of Meg’s hand and pulled her back to me. “I know plenty of ways.”

“I’m sure you do.” She kissed my cheek. “But I don’t need that kind of warmth now.” She walked back out of the room and I stared at her long legs as she swayed.

Damn, she was sexy. I sat back and tried to ignore my growing cock. Shit, I was hard. I couldn’t even concentrate on the movie. All I could think about was making love to her. I just wanted to go to bed. To be fair, I didn’t even need for us to do it on a bed. A thought crossed my mind and I paused, grinning to myself.

“Don’t be stupid,
Greyson.” I muttered to myself. “You can’t do that.”

“What?” Brandon mumbled up at me.

“Nothing.”

“We need to talk tomorrow
,” he hissed at me. “I don’t know what you told Meg.”

“I just told her about the letter. Nothing else.”

“What if she tells Katie?”

“She won’t.”

“Greyson, I swear I’m going to tell her. I just need to figure out how.”

“Well, we need to make sure that she knows soon or someone else is going to do it!”

“Do what?” Katie threw a blanket at his lap and looked at me curiously.

“Oh nothing. Just talking about the club.”

“You guys are always talking about work, I swear. Give it a break.” She rolled her eyes and sat back down with Brandon.

I watched as Meg approached me with a worried look on her face.

“You okay?” I studied her face carefully to ensure that she wasn’t about to crack.

“I’m fine.” She nodded. “This is hard. I really want to tell Katie about the note.”

“But you didn’t?” I hissed into her ear.

“I didn’t.” She sighed. “I don’t want to keep it a secret, but I have to.”

“Thank you.” I kissed her lips and held her to me.

I hated having to ask her to keep this to herself. I hated it because I knew personally what a burden it was
to have to keep secrets.

“You two done?” Brandon looked at us pointedly and I nodded. “Do you mind if we just put on Damage right now?”

“What about Identity Thief?” Meg looked at the TV.

“I think we can all agree that Identity Thief is done for the night.” Brandon laughed
, and Katie pretended to punch him.

I turned to Meg as Katie got the new movie ready in the
DVD player.

“So you
want to be big spoon or little spoon?” I leaned in towards Meg and whispered against her lips.

“Hmm, I think I should be big spoon.” Her tongue tickled my lips and I swallowed hard.

“Don’t tease me like that,” I growled softly.

“Or what?” Her eyes twinkled at me.

“I’ll make you pay.”

“Promise.”

“You”—I bit down on her lip and sucked on it gently—“are going to wish you never said that.” I pushed her down onto the couch and positioned myself behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her back towards me. “Pass the blanket.” I grabbed it from her hands before she could react and covered our bodies. “This is soft,” I commented out loud, and Brandon grinned.

“I got it when I was in Peru doing a business deal. It’s made from l
lamas.”

“L
lamas?” I made a face and he laughed.

“I’m turning off the light now. Snuggle into your l
lama fur.”

“
Sshh, you two.” Katie put her fingers to her lips. “You have to pay attention to the movie.”

“Yes,
Mom.” Meg giggled, and I casually moved my hands to her breasts. “Greyson.”

“
Sshh. I’m trying to watch the movie,” I whispered into her ear as my fingers pinched her nipples.

I laughed softly as she moved her ass back against me hard
, and I moved my hands to her hips so I could position her ass in front of my cock. She gasped and we both lay there without moving as the movie started on the TV. Brandon turned the lights off and we all gazed at the TV in eager anticipation.

I realized that the movie was starting to bore me when I found my eyes drooping as the couple on the screen started to make love. I moved my hand to Meg’s stomach and started rubbing it gently before moving my hands up under her top. I pushed my fingers up under her bra and played with her nipples again. She stilled as I touched her
, and I grinned to myself as I bit down on her shoulder.

“Be quiet and don’t make any sudden movements
,” I whispered into her ear as I slid her bra straps down her arms.

She turned around to gaze at me
, and I kissed her lips softly before checking to make sure Brandon and Katie weren’t paying attention to us. Meg slipped her arms into her loose t-shirt, and I pushed the cups of her bra down so that her breasts were loose. I then reached down and pushed down her sweatpants so that they were by her ass. I slipped my finger between her legs and felt a sliver of silk.

“You’re still wearing panties.
Tsk tsk.” I quickly pushed them to the side and ran my fingers along her wet slit.

“
Greyson,” she moaned and squeezed her legs, trying to stop me.

“
Shhh.” I shushed her quietly and ran my fingers back up to her bare breasts, squeezing them gently. I found it strangely erotic to be playing with her while watching a movie and knowing my best friend and his fiancée were on the couch next to us with no idea as to what we were doing.

“
Greyson, we can’t.” She shook her head and her hands reached up to stop mine.

“Why not?” I laughed
, and we both stared at the screen, feeling turned on as the actress rolled around on the bed, moaning. I reached down, pulled my zipper down, and released my very hard cock from my pants. “Are you sure you want to say no?” I laughed and rubbed the tip of my cock against her ass before reaching forward and opening her legs slightly so my cock could rub against her wetness.

“
Greyson,” She froze as the tip of me slowly rubbed against her clit. “Oh.” She sighed and started moving back against me very timidly. I reached my fingers around to the front of her and started rubbing her clit from the other side. She roughly moved back against me and the tip of my cock entered her gently. “Oh,” she moaned out loud and we both froze.

“You guys okay?” Katie muttered, but I could see that she wasn’t looking at us.

“Yeah, this movie is just crazy.”

“I know
, right? I told you! Just wait for the ending. It’s going to be crazy. You’re going to love it.”

“I’m sure she is.” I laughed as I moved my cock in and out of Meg while rubbing her clit with more intensity. “You’re just waiting for the end, aren’t you
, Meg?” I muttered against her ear. “Don’t you just want to ride my cock hard and fast so that you can come all over me?” I whispered as I increased my movements slightly.

“
Greyson,” she moaned, and I closed my eyes.

Her pussy felt wonderful against me as her walls tightened on me. She was so wet
, and I could tell that she was close to coming.

“Don’t you love fucking on the…” I groaned as Meg’s fingers met mine on her clit and she increased the pace of my finger movements
, moving her hips in a circle. “Oh shit.” I bit down hard on her shoulder and couldn’t stop myself from moving a little bit harder as I entered her. We both came about twenty seconds after that. Meg squeezed my fingers as she came hard and I bit down on her shoulder. Our bodies trembled together as we lay there, having just experienced one of the most intense orgasms, and I closed my eyes as I held her close to me.

“What did you guys think? Crazy
, right?” Katie’s voice woke me up, and I froze as I realized that my cock was still nestled next to Meg’s ass and my hands were caressing her naked breasts.

“Yeah, that was crazy
,” I mumbled and shook Meg to wake her up.

“Huh?” Meg sounded sleepy
, and I grinned as I felt her hand reach back to hold my cock.

“Katie was just saying how crazy the movie was.”

“Oh.” Meg’s hand froze on my cock, and I could hear the shock in her voice. She must have fallen asleep as well and forgotten where we were.

“That will teach them
, right? Imagine sleeping with your son’s fiancée?” Katie sounded shocked. “That’s even worse than sleeping with your best friend’s girl.”

“Let’s go to bed now.” Brandon sounded gruff as he jumped up. “I’m tired. I’m sure we can all dissect the movie in the morning.”
