Waiting (20 page)

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 m
ake 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. I
t 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!" s
he 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 ac
ross the hallway to the hot tub
before she stopped and whispered i
n 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," h
e warned Francis before t
alking to me. "Sorry about that.  W
e 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 t
ell 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.  W
here 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 g
irls. "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 nev
er see me naked.  S
o 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 ey
es but conceded. I lowered my
self 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 P
iper gave me earlier tonight.  O
r 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
?  W
ell, 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 together."

"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 loo
k so beautiful in this swimsuit
but
I can't wait to rip it off you,
"
h
e 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 lot
s 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, reveal
ing 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 thi
ng that felt as right as he did.  S
mooth and cold, while hard and flexible.

"I can't believe I was missing this w
hile being caged like an animal," h
e 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 st
oppi
ng 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 t
o 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 tha
n I thought it was going to.

F
OURTEEN

Parker b
rought 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
fill
ing
me in when I asked.

Sam had quite the personality, surprising m
e 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?”
