After about twenty minutes, we pull into the lot before the walkway down to the lake, but Braxton doesn’t stop. He continues driving into the sand until the water comes into view along with Carter’s Jeep and Dallas’ Ford Bronco. They have everything set up and the boat is anchored at the dock next to three jet skis. There’s a big canopy tent with way too many coolers for just the six of us. There’s an extra large speaker in the Jeep and it’s pumping out music. I can feel the bass in my chest and it makes me laugh. Carter definitely turned this into a party instead of a relaxing day. I start to get giddy at the thought of how much fun we’re going to have.

We spent the next hour out on the water racing on the jet skis and drinking on the boat. People started to show up so we quickly wrapped some lights around the canopy and lined the water with tiki torches as we danced and laughed together. By the time the beach was loaded with people and kegs, I had drunk maybe five too many cocktails and my confidence was through the roof.

Lei, Ryn, and I dance around and mingle with people from town until I see some red headed bimbo with her hands all over B. I can tell he is annoyed by her presence, since he hasn't given her even an ounce of attention or spoken to her, so I decide to do the same. I let the guy that’s been trying to dance with me for the past hour win and press my back against his chest, moving to the rhythm of the music. It lasts all of thirty seconds before the body behind me is ripped away and I turn to see Braxton and Carterdragging the random guy down the beach. Braxton turns to look at me through narrowed eyes and licks his bottom lip with a smirk before disappearing into the treeline.

Fuck.

I’m instantly wet at the thought of what’s going to happen between those trees.

What kind of person does it make me if Braxton killing someone for dancing with me turns me on?

Oh well! B told me to embrace my darkness, so that’s exactly what I’ll do. Nothing like a good bit of feminine rage. Giggling drunkenly, I stumble my way back over to my girls and dance until my feet hurt.

Trudging my way over to the water, I feel arms wrap around my waist as I’m about to step in. I spin around to find that sexy smirk on Braxton’s face.

“Testing me tonight aren’t we, Little Rage?”

The deep tone in his voice sends chills throughout my entire body and I pull his face down to mine. The scent of mint, whiskey, and blood hits my nose and it’s intoxicating.

“Yup!” Breaking the moment apart, I drag him back over to the party. We spend the rest of the day having fun with our friends and make a plan to meet at the club tonight around 9 PM. Nothing like summer fun.

CHAPTER 13

Leighton

After spending the day partying on the beach, we're back at Carter's getting ready to go out. I have an amazing tan and my freckles are now showing on my face after being in the sun all day. I'm feeling extra confident and decide to bring out ‘Baddie Leighton’. Straightening my hair makes me feel like a whole new person. The curls have always been my pride and joy and are long enough to reach my ass at this point. Deciding on a black top with cutouts down the front, black pants and my Jordans, it's simple but it makes me feel hot and I know Carter will love it.

Walking out of the bathroom, I see the man of the hour waiting in his room looking absolutely delicious. He’s wearing a plain white shirt, a camo bomber jacket, black pants, and white Nikes. Suddenly my panties are wet.Jesus Christ this man.With a smirk on his face, he walks to me and pulls me close with his hands on my hips.

“You look tasty enough to eat, Sunshine.” He kisses me and spins me so my back is against his chest and kisses down my neck.

“If you keep that up, we won’t be going anywhere, Sweet Boy.” I push my ass back into him and feel his erection.

Grabbing his hand, I pull him through the door and down the stairs. I pick up my purse from the coffee table and pull out my phone and send a quick text to the girls.

Me: Heading out momentarily. Hope everyone is looking hot!

Ryn: Would you expect anything less?

Dani: Absolutely feeling good! See y'all soon!

Giggling at the girls, I put my phone back in my bag, waiting for Carter to grab his wallet and call the driver. I don’t like him driving when he drinks. That’s how I lost my mother. Carter rounds the corner and comes to kiss me.

“Our ride is here. Get that perfect ass moving, Sunshine.” Placing his arm around my waist, he leads me outside, locking the door behind us. We get into the G wagon and are off on our way. Everything feels right in life and I couldn’t be happier. My boyfriend's sister has easily become one of my best friends and also one of Dani’s best friends. I love them dearly and would not change a thing. Even Dallas has finally come out of his shell around us and he’s actually pretty funny.

Ten minutes later, we are getting out of the car and walking up to the front door. Thankfully, the bouncers know who I am at this point and have known who Carter was for a while. As we walk through the doors, I hear people waiting to get in, groaning about how unfair it is that we don’t have to wait. Perks of being the best friend of the owner's girl! Walking into the club, the music is pumping through the speakers and I can feel the vibrations throughout my whole body. We instantly make ourway over to the bar before we attempt to find everybody. I order my typical girl drink, a vodka soda, and Carter orders a beer because he doesn’t do liquor. After we have our drinks, we look around for Braxton and Daniella before we spot them in the VIP section. Looks like Dallas and Ryn aren’t here yet. We make our way over to them and Daniella gets up to hug me as if she didn’t just see me a few hours ago.

“Lei Lei! My love! I’m so happy you’re here!” She throws her arms around me and pulls me in for a tight hug. It shocks me for a moment because she’s typically not the lovey-dovey type but I assume she’s had a few drinks.

“Hey LaLa babe! Once Ryn gets here, we’re off to the dance floor!” Dancing with my best friends is by far one of my favorite things to do. Having been a ballet dancer when I was younger, dancing has always been my happy place.

Right after I spoke, Dallas and Ryn walked up to us and hugged us. I instantly grabbed Ryn’s hand and dragged her to the bar, not giving her a choice of what she was going to drink. I ordered another drink, then dragged everybody to the dance floor. Nobody was going to back out of a fun night. My girls looked hot and I couldn’t ask for anything better. Ryn showed up wearing a tight black mini dress with her tattoos on full display. She looked hot, Daniella looked hot, and I felt extremely hot.

We dance for what feels like hours, laughing and singing along the entire time. The boys just watch us from their section until they don’t. One by one, each of our guys makes their way to the dance floor, finding their girl. Carter comes up behind me and moves his hips to the beat of the music with me. I feel free. I feel happy. I feel complete. The feeling of his hands on my body ignites a fire inside of me and suddenly I’m ready to leave, but I need to pull it together and have patience.

Feeling the alcohol surge through me, I wrap my hands around Carter's neck behind me and pull his lips to mine.Turning around while continuing the kiss, I grind on his leg, searching for the friction I need. In a matter of seconds, his hand is slithering its way down the front of my pants. Leaning down, Carter whispers in my ear so that only I can hear.

“Keep quiet and keep moving like nothing is happening.”
