Friends With More Benefits (18 page)

One of Brian's college friends, Eric, continued
to listen, but also returned to eating his crème brûlée. Everyone
else at the table wore disgusted looks until Laura said, "He,
uh…likes to do that. It's like some kind of porn star move." The
appalled looks slipped away, and they all nodded casually.

Rob continued, "You were sitting on me, and I
remember exactly…"

Eric slipped a huge spoonful of the creamy
custard in his mouth as Rob continued, "I shot a big load that
night. It was huge…I remember it was everywhere and dripping out of
you." Eric nearly gagged while everyone else exchanged sickened
looks. "You're having my baby. I can't fucking believe this."

"It's not yours."

Rob ignored her as he asked, "When were you
going to tell me?"

"It's not yours," Victoria repeated loudly.

"What? Then why the blood test?"

"Your not the only one who needed to take a
test."

Jim swallowed hard and then glanced down to the
table. Victoria said, "It's Jim's baby. All right? He's the
father."

Caroline's face turned pale white. All eyes
moved to Jim. He glanced around the table in shock. He stood and
then moved to the intercom box. "Brian, show me how to turn this
off. This isn't—"

Caroline, Laura, and Jillian all said in unison,
"Don't touch it."

Just as Jim reached the box, Victoria said, "I
love him."

Rob asked, "What's he doing here with Caroline
if you guys are together?"

Back in the kitchen, Victoria exhaled deeply.
"He doesn't know about the baby…or how I feel. He's in love with
her, and I don't want to do anything to spoil that. You cannot tell
him. He's going to ask her to marry him after the wedding."

"How do you know?"

"He cleared it with Brian and Jillian. He didn't
want to steal their day. He even asked if it would be weird for me.
He's so thoughtful and caring and sensit—"

"This
is
a guy were talking about
right?"

Victoria glared at Rob for a moment. "Yeah…the
most amazing one on the planet."

A tear fell from Caroline's eye as she just
stared at Jim. He returned and knelt down beside her. He breathed
out hard and opened his mouth to speak just as the intercom blasted
out Rob latest gem.

"I can't believe he knocked you up. There is no
way he shot more than I did that night. It had been like a week
since I jerked off if I remember correctly. How much did he
shoot?"

Jim stood and glared at Brian with the veins
popping out of his head. "Turn that fucking thing off now." Brian
rushed over and turned it off. Jim returned to Caroline. "I'm so
sorry. I didn’t know."

"Obviously…Were you really planning to ask me to
marry you?" Jim nodded, and she said, "Look me in the eye and tell
me you don't love her."

"I love you."

"That's not…what does it matter. You two are
having a baby. She's in love with you. I know you still have
feelings for her." Caroline stood just as Rob and Victoria walked
out the back door. Caroline stared at Victoria as she said, "I've
got to get out of here."

Laura stood. "I'll go with you."

Rob and Victoria reached the dinning area just
as the two women stepped on the path toward the house. Laura and
Caroline stood glaring at Victoria. Victoria and Rob scanned the
faces of the silent crowd and were completely at a loss.

After she caught Jillian's glare, Victoria
asked, "What the hell is going on out here?" No one said a word
until Caroline looked at Victoria and said in a voice dripping with
sarcasm, "Congrats."

Laura added, "Are there any guys here you
haven't banged?"

Victoria scanned the room a moment instinctively
and did a quick count while thinking, I haven’t even slept with
half the men here—well unless you count holding Brian's penis, but
shit who would count that?

Laura slapped Rob hard across the face as
everyone looked on in shock. She glared at him as she pushed past
him and walked toward the house. Victoria looked completely
mystified as her eyes went from Jim to Caroline and then to the
group staring at her from the table.

Brian said, "Uh, the intercom was on when you
two were talking…we kinda heard everything."

Victoria's mouth fell open, and she began,
"Look, I, uh—"

Caroline interrupted, "He's in love with you. I
hope you'll be very happy together." She moved her stare to Jim.
"You should know that I slept with Jeff a couple weeks ago. It just
happened. Evidently I still have feelings for him. So now you don't
need to feel guilty at all." He looked at her crushed.

"Come on, let's go," Laura called out to
Caroline, while giving Rob another icy stare.

Rob turned to Laura. "We weren't even going out
when this happened. How can—"

Laura sneered at him and yelled, "You'll never
touch me again. I don't want to see you or speak to you ever
again."

Caroline disappeared into the house as Rob
rushed to Laura. "I made a mistake. I love you." As they stood
alone near the house, she leaned in and whispered while glaring at
him like she wanted to kill him, "I'm not really mad. This is
pretty hot, right?" He looked at her confused as she continued
softly, "Let's have amazing make-up sex."

"What?" he asked softly.

"Just go with it."

He took hold of her arm gently. She pulled it
away and yelled, "Don't put your hands on me." Laura whispered,
"I'm going to find a hotel, and I want you in my ass."

Rob whispered, "Really?"

Everyone at the table was straining to hear what
they were saying, but not getting a word of the good stuff.

He grinned for a moment, and she said softly,
"Don't break character."

Rob said loudly with a slightly lame
performance, "Yes, well…I'll die if I can never see you again."

"Well, I guess you'll die then."

Rob whispered, "Nice touch."

She moved close to his ear. "When we fuck, be
angry. I don't want to be able to walk when you're done."

She pulled away, and he nodded. He leaned in and
whispered, "I'm so hard right now."

Laura sighed, as she glanced down to his bulge.
She looked him in the eye, glared, and then headed toward the
house. She turned back, rushed to him, and said softly, "I'll text
you the hotel and room number…Uh, I'm sure the hotels here are
really expensive, do you have any cash?"

He leaned in and whispered, "My wallet's in the
room."

She scoffed in mock disgust and then slapped him
even harder across the face. Everyone at the table gasped. Rob
rubbed his jaw as he stared at her, desperate to be inside her
instead of watching her walk into the house.

All eyes returned to Victoria. Her gaze traveled
from face to face and then she landed on Jillian. "It was that
night Rob found out about you two, and I was thinking about David.
I was drunk, and it just…"

Jillian just shook her head as Brian put his
hand on her shoulder.

Eric said, "Well this is a rehearsal dinner that
you'll never ever forget." All eyes went to him. He shrugged.
"What?"

Victoria glanced back to Jillian who refused to
look at her. She sighed. "Sorry everyone for spoiling an otherwise
beautiful evening." Then she walked toward the house with everyone
watching.

Victoria sat on the sofa in her room crying.
There was a knock at the door. She tried to pull herself together
as she said, "Come in."

Jim opened the door and glanced inside to find
her wiping tears from her eyes. She gave him a weak smile.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

She nodded. "You want to go for a walk?"

They walked down the long driveway toward the
beach, and he asked, "When were you going to tell me?"

"I tried a few days ago, but then you told me
about proposing to Caroline, I thought that maybe I should
wait—perhaps forever."

"So, you're going to keep it?"

She looked at him a little shocked. "Yes,
definitely."

"No, I meant were you considering adoption?"

"Oh, no…I guess I still was going to tell you at
some point before…"

They shared a look as they continued toward the
beach in silence. When they made it to the sand, they slipped off
their shoes. She said, "I'm sorry about Caroline. I…"

Jim exhaled. "She probably wasn't going to say
yes. You heard her. She had sex with Jeff again. He's her first
love. I guess she wasn't really—"

"She'd be an idiot to say no."

Jim paused while staring out at the moonlit
ocean and said in an uninspired tone, "Thanks."

Back at the mansion, Rob rushed through a quick
shower and while still dripping wet, checked his cell phone for a
message from Laura. There was nothing. He grabbed a towel and raced
to get dressed.

Just a short walk from the house the girls found
adjoining rooms available at the Hotel Le Villiage St Jean. After
they checked in, Caroline and Laura stood on their respective
balconies of their rooms talking—both working off a mild buzz. They
gazed out to the ocean and then Laura looked through Caroline's
sliding door. "Wow, I can see right into your room. This isn't very
private."

"Don't worry, I don't plan on having any sex
while I'm here."

"I do," Laura said back naughtily.

"Are you really going to find some random
guy?"

"No. Rob's coming over."

Caroline gave her a look. "I thought you guys
were—"

"It was just an act. I want to have some make-up
sex. I'm not really mad. We were broken up when he, uh, you
know."

Caroline looked out over the waves. "You know.
I'm not really mad either. I mean I wasn't dating Jim at the time.
It's just weird. I don't dislike Victoria. I'm just having a hard
time accepting that the guy I love is going to be the father of
someone else's baby."

"I know it's hard to hate her. She's so
nice."

"You know she lost her husband a few years ago."
Laura nodded then Caroline added, "And I didn’t really sleep with
my old boyfriend."

"Then why'd you say it?"

"I mean I kissed Jeff, and I thought about
having sex with him, but I stopped him. I've been feeling really
guilty, and I guess I just wanted to hurt Jim a little." Laura gave
her an understanding nod and then Caroline said, "I just don't want
to see Jim right now. I'm just…I'm jealous of her, but it's weird,
I don't really dislike her."

"I know. I feel the same—you just can't hate
her."

"Well, I do hate her tits. I mean who has tits
like that at her age? And her body—she looks like she's
twenty-eight."

Laura made a face. "And she probably won't get
all fat after the pregnancy. She'll end up with even bigger, more
perfect tits and the same exact body."

"That bitch," Caroline said, as they both shared
a chuckle. "So, when is Rob coming over?"

"I need to send him a text."

"You don't need to stay with me. I'm fine."

Laura said quietly, "It's not that. I kind of
promised him something in the heat of the moment."

"What?"

"Have you ever done…anal?"

"Almost once. I. We…Let's just say that it's on
our list of things to try again."

Laura nodded. "I'm trying to psych myself up,
but I need something first. Do you smoke pot? I think I need a lot
of pot."

Caroline grinned. "That…I did exactly once."

Laura widened her eyes. "Do you want to?"

Caroline nodded, and Laura grinned.

Back at the mansion, Rob sat on his bed fully
dressed simply staring at his phone. He exhaled deeply, then stood,
and started pacing. He pulled down his shorts and inspected his
junk. It was a little hairy. He grimaced and then headed back into
the bathroom.

Back on the balcony, the girls were halfway
through their joint. Still on their respective balconies, passing
it back and forth. They were getting there…

Caroline asked, "Has Rob ever licked you back
there?"

"What? No…that's. No."

Caroline took a big hit and then just nodded to
her sexily.

"Really?"

"Make him do that first. Your head will
explode."

"So, Jim does that?"

"All the time. When he first got together in
Atlantic City, he couldn't do any of that very well. But when…after
he was with Miss Perfect Tits, he was like…It's like he has a
master degree now in licking everything. I've never cum so hard."
Caroline took another hit and passed the joint as she asked, "Do
you have any lube?"

Laura took a big hit and then shook her head no.
"Where can I get some?"

"I saw condoms at store in the lobby. I'm sure
they have something."

Laura gave her a naughty look. "There was one
other thing that Rob and I always wanted to do…"

Caroline put her hand out for the joint as Laura
continued, "We want to have someone watch us have sex."

"Really?" Laura nodded as Caroline took a hit.
"That sounds kinda hot."

"You, uh, want to watch us? You can stand there
and see right to the bed from where you are."

"I couldn't." Caroline said halfheartedly.

"All right, but…" Laura took a deep breath. "I
think I'm ready now, but I need to run down to get the lube. Oh, I
probably should take a shower. Shit, he's waiting."

"I'll go to the store. You text him, jump in the
shower, and then I'll toss the lube on your balcony."

Laura gave her a smile, "Awesome. And I'll leave
the curtain open just in case you want to watch…In the back of my
mind, I'll think you're out there, and it'll make it so much
hotter. Maybe I'll tell him that there's this hot couple next door
watching."

Caroline pondered this with a sexy smile.
