Page 60 of Hostile Cravings
“Fucker,” he muttered, grabbing a drink the bartender had set out. The two I’d ordered for me and Angie were waiting for me to take them, but I let them be.
“He’s good for her. As much as it frustrates the two of us.” When I turned back, Tides had Riley thrown over his shoulder and was storming from the beach, a playful smirk on his face.Riley was giggling, and I didn’t want to imagine what was going to happen in that hotel room for the rest of the day.
“That’s good for her?” Mason asked.
“As good as you are for Casey. If I have to hear you making her squeal in the kitchen, you can watch Tides own your sister.”
Casey was making her way over to us.
“Why are you wearing that skimpy thing, Case?” I asked, as Mason grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss.
“Because my man likes it, that’s why,” she said, pushing from his arms with a laugh.
“Damn right I do. Sexiest thing here,” he said, smacking her ass and making her jump.
“Don’t make me hurt you,” I warned him.
Casey kissed me on the cheek. “Settle down, big brother. You’ve got your hands full with Angie. Stop worrying about me.”
“I never stop worrying about you.”
Mason folded his arms around her and pulled her back against his chest. “I worry about her now,” he said, nibbling on her neck.
She leaned her head back on him. “How long are we staying?” she asked.
“Till the morning. Tides is flying out with Riley at dawn. We leave a few hours later. Why? Do you have plans for us, princess?”
I rolled my eyes. “I don’t want to hear them, whatever they are.” I grabbed the drinks from the bar. “I’m going to torment my wife. You two keep the hands to yourself or take it to your room like Tides did. And if you don’t, I’ll tell you everything he’s likely doing to your sister until I aggravate you enough that you leave.”
“Asshole,” Mason grumbled as I walked away.
“You love me, buddy.”
“Is that what they call it?”
Shaking my head, I made my way to Angie. My wife. It seemed surreal to say, but we’d married earlier in the day with the morning sun shining down on her hair, highlighting the strawberry strands that were growing in. I’d promised her a beachwedding, and I’d delivered, booking the resort and ensuring we had it to ourselves by canceling everyone who’d booked for the weekend. There’d been some bruised egos, but I’d made up for it by throwing in some amenities. Their complaints had been worth it when she’d walked down the aisle toward me.
Joey had ruined her dream wedding, so I gave her something even better. With pink rose petals and white sand as her aisle, she had looked like a goddess in her white dress. Not see-through and skin flaunting but stylish and stunning. She’d beamed at me when she’d handed her bouquet of pink and white flowers to Casey right before her father placed her hands in mine.
Pink. Of course the flowers were pink, just like the material that had draped the archway where we stood and the dresses Riley and Casey had worn. Because if my girl wanted pink for our wedding colors, she was getting it.
I’d been the last person anyone had imagined getting married and here I’d gone and done it before everyone else. Tides and Riley were planning to tie the knot in another month, pushing their intended early April wedding back while I healed and made my marriage to Angie official. Tides hadn’t been happy that his plans with Riley had been moved again but Riley, who was as obnoxious as Casey about me getting married, had worked her magic on him and let me sneak in first. Something I’d taken great pleasure in reminding him of all day.
Mason and Casey hadn’t set a date for their wedding yet, wanting to enjoy the freshness of their relationship before they took the step, but he had bought her a massive diamond ring that now sat on her finger, one that Angie instantly compared to her own. I’d had to buy her a second ring to wrap over it just to satisfy her.
My girl was spoiled, and I didn’t care. I intended to continue spoiling her for the rest of my life.
“You know, if you keep that leg at that angle, it’s gonna tempt me to slide between them and take you right here, Anj.” I set thedrinks down as she lifted to her elbows and peered up at me, the sun shining in her eyes and turning them golden. “That doesn’t help. Now you’re just teasing me.”
She licked her lips, and I groaned, dropping next to her and pulling her onto my lap. “When are you not ready to fuck me, Raines?” she asked, sitting up on my erection, which lurched at the move.
“I’m always ready to fuck you, Mrs. Raines.” I cupped her breast, her nipple prominent through the thin material of her suit.
“You wanna take your hands off my sister, Raines?” Tony called from across the beach.
“That would be a no, Tony. Don’t you have a territory to run? I’d suggest you stop acting like you’re on vacation, get out of your swim trunks and on a plane home, and mind your damn business.”
“I’m always dressed like this, Raines,” he said before turning back to flirting with the girl serving drinks.
