Page 7 of Sure, Pal

Ava shrugged and held out her hands to admire her nails. “Evan likes the long nails for back scratches.”

Sienna rolled her eyes and walked back over to the tent. Her face looked calm, but she gripped a tent pole and angrily shoved it into the canvas slot. I reached out and caught the other end of the pole, attaching it to the tent base. “Rob and I will finish this, Sienna. You can go tan with Queen Ava.”

Sienna raised a single eyebrow at me. “I’m good. I have no desire to take my top off next to Ava.” My eyes unintentionally drifted to Sienna’s chest. The front of her shirt gaped open as she leaned over to pick up another tent pole, and I got a clear view of her cleavage. Her breasts were smaller than Ava’s, but that didn’t matter in the slightest. The view still made my cock stir.

Whoa. Sienna was gorgeous and sexy, and I’d had a crush on her years ago. Now though, we were just really good friends. I cleared my throat and looked away.

Sienna blew her hair out of her eyes. “Besides that, I’ll burn.” Sienna glanced over at Ava. She was rubbing coconut oil all over her shoulders and chest.

That should have made my cock stand straight up, but it didn’t.

Sienna slid another tent pole into place, and Rob brought the cooler over and set it under the picnic table. “Let’s head down to the beach after we get this all set up, yeah?” he said.

“Oh my God, yes!” Ava called over as she slid her enormous sunglasses on.

“If you want to go to the beach faster, you could help unload the shit, Aves.” Sienna grabbed a handful of stakes from the little tan bag and then tossed it to me. “You wanna do that side, dude?”

“Sure, pal.” I bent to stake down my side of the tent.

Ava let out an exaggerated sigh and stood to help Rob unload the rest of the stuff.

After we got our camp all set up, we started the short hike to the beach. I fell into step next to Rob, and we watched the girls walking slightly ahead of us. Ava walked in her bikini and sandals. Her tanned, toned body looked straight out of a magazine.

But my eyes kept drifting over to Sienna. She wore a tank top and shorts over her bikini, and it had me dying to know what was under those clothes.

“Did I ever tell you about the time I kissed Sienna?” Rob was watching her, too.

Something hot and angry started to spread through my chest. They kissed? “Uh, no. I don’t think so.”

Rob shrugged. “I thought it was all right, but she was like ‘Ew. I feel like I just kissed my brother.’ So I am definitely friend-zoned with her.”

The tight anger in my chest relaxed. I laughed. “Too bad, man. Are you really into her?”

“I mean, she’s hot as hell, but I’m not broken up about it. There are plenty of other hot girls in the world. Like, if she wants to hook up tonight, I’d be all over it. If she doesn’t, I’ll probably ask out Cara when we get back.”

“Cara’s cool. You should go for it.”

Rob nodded, and we spent the remainder of the hike talking about soccer. We’d played on the same team together since we were in Elementary school. I remembered not even wanting to play soccer as a kid, but Rob begged me to sign up with him when we were eight. A few years later, it was my favorite sport, and I couldn’t even picture my life without it.

When we reached the beach, the girls set up their towels and laughed to each other about something. Rob and I walked down the beach a little to toss a frisbee back and forth.

My eyes kept drifting over to the girls, but they’d always settle on Sienna, not Ava. I watched with my mouth almost watering as Sienna gripped the bottom of her tank top and pulled it off over her head.

Her pale, smooth skin looked so soft, and as my eyes quickly scanned her body, I noticed that her black bikini top was a little twisted. Her right nipple was showing. Holy shit. I let the frisbee sail right over my head and watched, with my heart pounding, while Ava reached over and yanked Sienna’s swimsuit back into place. They both burst out laughing, and Sienna collapsed onto her towel, yelling, “Fuck!”

Fuck was right.

Rob laughed at me. “What the hell was that, man?” He had his back to the girls and hadn’t seen a thing.

I shook my head to clear it. “Sorry. I was distracted.”

“By your smoking hot girlfriend?” Rob grinned at me.

I swallowed. “Yep.” Then I turned to jog down the beach and retrieve the frisbee, trying to forget the sight of Sienna’s pretty pink nipple.

I was seriously attracted to Sienna. I’d always been drawn to her, but usually, Ava was enough to distract me. Now, though, it felt like my attraction to my girlfriend’s best friend was wildly out of control. I needed to reign it in. A couple of hard-ons for another girl wasn’t enough to break up with Ava, right?
