Page 52 of Sinful as They Come
“Did you know about this?” I glared at him. “Is this why you had me drive out here? You tryna force us to be friends or something?”
“What? No. I didn’t know Carter and Holly were coming. Lucas said it was just gonna be him. I swear.” Brodie held his hands up, his eyes darting over to the others. “Let’s go talk to him.”
“Ugh, fuck.” My head rolled back, my eyes shutting as I heard Brodie open the door and jump out. I didn’t feel like driving back. The idea of a campfire and a warm bed sounded so much more inviting than the trailer. After school and work and the drive, I just wanted to relax. A banging tomy side forced me to open my eyes, and I saw Brodie sending me a look.Be nice. I could read his mind.
There was no point hiding away in my truck.
With a sigh I pushed the door open, letting it slam behind me as I avoided Holly completely and instead zeroed in on Lucas. I shook my head a little at him, and as he walked over to me and Brodie, I saw him mouth out a little “sorry”.
“Dude, what the hell?” was my greeting to the blond. “You didn’t say they were gonna be here.”
“I know. Sorry. Carter kinda overheard me talking about it and insisted on coming. Says he wants some alone time with Holly or something,” Lucas explained.
“That’s disgusting. Don’t tell me that shit.” I didn’t want that mental image in my head.
“Carter’s a romantic at heart, I guess.” Lucas shrugged.
Me and Brodie shared a knowing look before giving our attention back to Lucas. In the distance behind him stood Holly, who was busy tying her thick hair into a ponytail. Her pink shirt rose up a little, revealing a tiny bit of bronzed skin at her hips.
Memories of that dream hit me. Her tight pussy, her pretty whimpers, her round ass in my hands. I shut my eyes.Don’t fucking think about her. Don’t, don’t, don’t. Why the fuck did her and her dumb ass boyfriend have to tag along and ruin everything?
My eyes moved back to Lucas who was staring at me with an apologetic stare.
“We can still have a good night.” Lucas gave my shoulder a pat. “Still got the beers and the steaks. Oh, and Holly’s friend Annie is here too if you want another pretty girl to look at.”
“Guy’s night, huh?” I mumbled.
“Sorry, dude. Promise it’ll still be a good time. I gotta get the barbeque set up. But find yourself a room in the cabin and get comfortable.” Lucas walked backwards as he talked. “Beers are in the fridge if you wanna get started on those!”
I let out a long sigh. I’d definitely be needing some beer to get through the night.
“Fuckin’ Holly.” I rolled my eyes. “Why’d she have to come? And her goddamn boyfriend too.”
Brodie shrugged. “Holly’s not that bad. It’s the other one I’m worried about.”
“You have no idea what she’s really like. You’ve known this girl for, like, one month.”
“Hey, in that one month, she’s never been anything but nice to me.”
“Funny. In the nine years I’ve known her, she’s never been anything other than a huge, stuck up—"
“Hey Holly!” Brodie practically yelled, his elbow roughly digging into my side. “I didn’t know you were coming to this thing.”
“Yeah, could have used a warning,” I muttered as I ran a hand through my hair. It was getting so long. I needed a cut.
She squinted her eyes at me. “Trust me. I’d much rather be far, far away from you, Sawyer.”
“Woods are that way, Holly.” I nodded to my right. The collection of looming trees would have been a perfect place for her to get lost. “Feel free to go and never come back.”
“Mhm, mhm. Look, I only came over here to tell you to please just leave Carter alone tonight. He surprised me with this trip this afternoon and failed to mention who else would be here. But… he’s not gonna get in your face unless you get in his, so how about you act mature for once in your life and try not to fight him?” Holly asked, her voice sharp as she raised an eyebrow at me.
I had to laugh. I turned to Brodie, wondering how he was handling Holly and her fucking audacity. She couldn’t be serious. I never started shit with Carter. He was the one who liked to get in my face. Even if it was just with words. If he said anything to me, she better fucking believe that I was gonna defend myself.
“You gotta be fucking kidding me, right?” I shook my head at her. “You tell him to back off and then we won’t have a problem.”
“Just leave Carter alone. That’s all I’m asking.”
“Holly, Carter can kinda be an asshole,” Brodie chimed up, his voice at the lowest volume he could possibly manage. “I mean that as a friend. Maybe you should be telling him that.”
