SAIGE POV
I took a hot shower and crawled into bed. I tossed and turned but sleep would not come and it was driving me crazy. The reflection from the pool water was dancing on the ceiling, distracting me from closing my eyes. It swirled and danced, creating the perfect night light but who the hell could sleep when it was that bright?!
I rolled toward the windows, noticing that there weren't any curtains, and cursed under my breath. This was going to be the worst night ever. Not to mention that Collin was sleeping a floor above me in probably nothing more than boxers or briefs. I wondered then what his whole body looked like with all those tattoos on him. Did they cover every inch of him? Or, just the main parts? I really wanted to explore his ink, to really see what he had permanently printed onto his skin and what they all meant. He isn't much older than I am, so I wondered when he started getting them done.
A sound from the pool area pulled my attention there as I leaned up to look out further. And what greeted me nearly stole my breath. I watched as Collin slowly lowered himself into the hot tub. It was clear by the expression on his face that he was trying to be as careful as he possibly could. Was he afraid of waking me? Perhaps he really did just want to be friends. But one look at his body and I couldn't resist.
I slipped out of bed, only wearing a tank top and panties, and left the room. He had his back to the kitchen area and I knew it would be easy to slip out unnoticed. Well, until I slid into the hot tub next to him. Should I keep my clothes on, or no? I thought to myself.
The cool air after the rain today stung my bare skin as I stepped outside. Damn, it's cold! I felt my nipples immediately harden as goosebumps trailed up my arms and legs. All I could focus on was getting in that hot water before I froze to death. I couldn't think about seducing Collin while I shivered until my teeth chattered. How attractive, huh?
Collin had his head resting on the tub side, his eyes closed, as I stepped up onto the stairs as quietly as I could. But when I lowered myself into the water, he whipped his head up and glared at me without saying a word. He just sat there and stared at me.
"I couldn't sleep," I purred out, trying to keep my distance for now.
He continued to silently watch me as I twirled my arms through the hot water.
"This feels really good." I closed my eyes and just enjoyed the hot water on my skin. I was no longer freezing to death, although I couldn't say I wouldn't when I got out. My eyes drifted open slowly before I looked right at my small pile of clothes on the bench. Yep, I decided to go naked. Was that why he was staring at me without saying a word?
I slowly stood up, revealing my naked torso to him unashamedly, the water coming up to my hips before I slowly walked toward him. He didn't move a muscle, his arms resting on the side of the tub while his eyes slowly skated over my breasts before he glared back into my eyes.
"What the hell are you doing, Saige?" He finally asked, breaking the silence. Except his tone was sharp as ice. I think I might have screwed up and if he denies me now, then I'll really know what his intentions are.
"I only have one pair of clothes with me; I didn't want to get them wet." I tried to play innocent, getting closer and closer to him.
And right before I stepped between his legs he moved away from me and leaned over the tub. He grabbed something and tossed it at me. It was his shirt.
"Put the fucking shirt on, Saige. I've told you. We're just friends." He sounded so annoyed, leaning back into his previous position before he closed his eyes.
I was going to put the shirt on but decided not to. Not just yet anyway. Instead, I straddled him and basically pinned him against the tub wall. His eyes whipped open as he grabbed onto my hips.
"Saige," he groaned out in warning.
My hips instinctively ground against him, feeling his erection. I knew he was as affected by me as I was by him. There was no hiding it anymore.
"It's okay, Collin. We're all alone now. You can have me if you want." I circled my hips, rubbing myself against his erection as I watched his eyes flutter shut.
His hands gripped my hips tighter and I couldn't tell if he was trying to push me away or pull me against him. Maybe he was doing both, circling me against himself.
"I want you so bad," I rasped out, feeling my core tighten with excitement. Feeling him against me was almost too much.
He tore his eyes open and stared up at me. "Saige, we can't... do this." His words were struggling to come out and I knew he was having a hard time saying no. He wanted me, too.
"Do what? This?" My hand went straight into his shorts and wrapped itself around his raging hard cock. My fingers didn't touch and knowing how big he actually was only caused my libido to scream with impatience.
He hissed through his teeth as I felt his body stiffen beneath mine. His hands squeezed my hips so hard I thought he'd leave bruises.
"Saige," he warned.
I knew he wanted me but he was also struggling with himself. The "just friends" part of him was battling with the I-want-to-fuck-you part of him.
I began stroking him, up and down, up and down. He was obviously enjoying himself, his hips bucking with the rhythm of my hand.
"I want you to fuck me," I breathed out while pushing his shorts down. My nakedness made this so much easier as I slid myself along his shaft, his head pressing into my clit.
He moaned out his approval right before he began thrusting his hips, allowing his cock to slide through my wetness. My entire body was on fire, enjoying this way more than I ever thought I could.
The sound of a doorbell echoed somewhere in the house, but I couldn't stop moving along his cock. The doorbell rang again and this time I jolted awake, lying in a completely soaked bed.
The storm from the night before hadn't left and because I left the window open all night, I was now drenched in rainwater. My hand was down my panties, circling my clit and I threw my head back into my soaked pillow and groaned in frustration. That dream felt incredibly real and I was horny as hell. Damn it!!
Why did this have to happen to me?! Why did that have to be a dream?!
One day that will be a reality, if it's the last thing I do. I thought. But, just then, I needed to get out of that wet bed and find some dry fucking clothes. What a way to wake up. Fuck my life.
COLLIN POVI slept like hell last night knowing Saige was just below me in the guest room. I promised I'd show her that she was better than she thought she was, but all I could think about were her lips and how she tasted. It was a struggle not to go downstairs to see her, knowing she was willing; but I was not that guy.And that was the exact reason why I called the guy standing at my front door right now. He's the guy I know who can show Saige she was worth more than a one-night stand. Women loved him and he loved them. It was really a win-win.I whipped the door open and came face to face with my cousin, Finn. He took a flight out here the second I called him like he always did."Bro, what's up?!" He stepped in and embraced me in a giant bear hug. We laughed and smacked each other's backs."Damn, it's good to see you!" I replied with a grin. "Come on in, man!”We headed straight for the kitchen, hoping to keep the noise level down and not wake Saige. I needed to explain a few thing
SAIGE POVCollin's cousin was hot! And he asked me to ditch school to hang out with him?! Hell yes! I needed a good day with a hot guy after the dream I had last night. If I couldn't have Collin, then this Finn guy would have to do.Then an idea struck me: If Collin had any feelings toward me at all, which I gathered he did, then being flirty with his cousin might do the trick, right? Guys are known for doing some crazy things when they're jealous.After I freshened up, I headed back out to find Finn standing by the front door eating a banana.Finn winked at me. "Ready to go?"A huge grin spread across my face as I blushed. I was actually fucking blushing. That rarely happened to me."I'm ready."Collin appeared in the foyer and glared at me. "I really think you should go to school, Saige. You can ride with me. You and Finn can hang out later."Was he serious?"The last time I checked, Collin, you're not my dad." I stepped up to him then and ran my finger down his neck and over his ch
SAIGE POVThe mall was packed, but I was excited to be skipping school and hanging out with this hottie."So, where are we going first?" I asked.Finn looked around. "We need to get you a dress, right?" I nodded at his question. "Then we'll get you a dress and then find me a tux." He grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the escalators that would bring us to the second floor.As we found a dress shop, Finn pulled me in- pointing out several dresses immediately. None of them were my style, though. They didn't show off enough skin.Finn grabbed a little black number from the rack and held it up to me."This would look great with your skin tone. What do you think?" He spun me toward the mirror so I could see."I think it looks like I'm going to my grandma's funeral," I whined. "What about this one?!" I slid away from him and grabbed a purple dress from the rack, holding it up. The front had a deep V that would show off my cleavage and stopped high on the upper thigh.Finn shook his head,
COLLIN POVI hated that Finn got Saige to skip school, but whatever. Maybe I was just irritated about other things. Actually, I knew I was irritated about other things. One, in particular, was how I couldn't stop thinking about Saige and her lips. I knew having her stay the night at my place last night was a bad idea, but the girl needed a safe place to sleep.Speaking of a safe place to sleep, I needed to figure out where she was going for the night because there was no way in hell she could stay at my place again. If she stayed a few rooms away from me and I couldn't touch her, I might lose my cool and that was the exact opposite of what I was trying to help the girl with.When the last bell of the day rang, I couldn't wait to get out of there. Football practice was thankfully canceled for the evening because of some school dance they were throwing that night and I didn't mind having the evening off. It would give me time to figure out Saige's next destination.As I got into my truc
SAIGE POVThat unbelievable bastard!!I was running from Collin's, still in my bikini, but wearing Finn's t-shirt over it and I had no idea where I was going. My house was clear on the other side of town and I didn't want to go there anyway, so I decided to try Kora's. She was much closer, too.When I climbed the front stairs and knocked on the door, Kora's mom answered a moment later. She was laughing with someone but when she saw me, her smile faded. Her eyes looked me up and down disapprovingly but then waved me inside.I hated when her mom judged me like this. She was kind to let me stay when I needed a place to lay my head, but I knew deep down that she didn't want me anywhere near her daughter. If Collin, a new person in town, has heard all about me, there's no doubt she hasn't."Is Kora home?"She shook her head. "I think she's finishing up at school for the dance. Why don't you head up to her room though and take a shower? I can wash your shirt for you." She looked me up and d
SAIGE POV"Hey, don't worry about him." Finn's voice pulled me away as he placed his hands on my lower back and my arms around his neck. He turned us so my back was to Collin and I was thankful for that.I also couldn't help thinking about how I wanted to be in Collin's arms and not his cousins. Even after what he said about me.We continued to dance silently, but I couldn't stop myself from glancing over my shoulder to seek out Collin. The last time when I looked, though, he was staring at me intently. His jaw was tight and his eyes were emotionless. The female teachers were still standing next to him, clearly trying to catch his attention, but he only had eyes for me; even though he looked a bit disturbed.Was he upset that I had heard what he said about me? Or, perhaps he was upset about what he said. I really hoped it was the second one but I had a feeling it wasn't.He finally pulled his eyes away from me and looked down at the floor before I watched him make an exit.A small jol
SAIGE POVFinn led the way into the living room where he sat down on the couch, patting the spot next to him. I didn't sit down right away, too afraid of what he might have to say. Instead, I stood there until he spoke."What I'm about to show you is probably going to make Collin pissed the hell off at me, but you need to see it. You need to see why he's keeping you at an arm's length."I sat down, still wondering what the hell he was talking about. My interest was officially piqued.Finn pulled his phone out and started vigorously scrolling through whatever he was looking at before he showed me a couple of photos."That's Penelope. Collin's college sweetheart. He was going to ask her to marry him." He pulled his phone back and shoved it back in his pocket.Seeing those photos made me feel jealous, but what did she have to do with me? The woman was beautiful and I couldn't help but think she was better than me. Hell, I thought every woman was better than me."Collin was crazy about he
SAIGE POVThe awkward silence between the two of us made me uncomfortable. Not to mention, I had just been crying and now my eyes were probably red and puffy; nothing like crying-eyes to make a girl feel attractive.I watched as Collin came farther into the living room, sitting in the spot Finn had just vacated before he looked over at me."You okay?" He asked, watching me."Fine," I replied, shrugging my shoulders. What Finn had just shared with me was still fresh on my mind. I had no idea what to say to Collin or if I should even say anything at all. Maybe it wasn't my business to say anything."You've been crying," he pointed out, still watching me. It was as if he couldn't pull his eyes from mine and I couldn't pull mine from his. We were stuck in this stare-off."Yes," I whispered, still pulled into his gaze."Tell me why."I shook my head."Saige," he started, finally breaking eye contact with me when he ran his hand through his hair, "I can't help you if you don't tell me what'
