Colt’s eyes locked with mine. His face inched closer and closer, and when I couldn’t handle the anticipation any longer, I pulled him the rest of the way by the back of his neck. His lips touched mine, gently at first. I felt the vibration of his groan and he leaned into me, pushing my body firmly against Creed’s. My fingers dug into Creed’s neck as Colt claimed my mouth as if he were starved and couldn’t get enough of me.
I arched myself between them, needing more, wanting more. Creed’s fingers dug into me through the fabric of my dress and when I felt him harden, I gasped, breaking away from Colt’s mouth. I tilted my head back and to the side to look at Creed. His eyes were also hooded. I pulled his head down and pressed my lips to his. I parted my lips, intending to deepen our kiss, but he was already ready for me and his tongue dominated my own.
Just as quickly as our kiss had started, it ended. Creed abruptly pulled away. He locked eyes with Colt. “It’s time to go.”
I glanced at Colt and saw him nod. Colt grabbed my hand and we followed Creed through the house. I stumbled a few times and laughed each time at my clumsiness. When I stumbled down the driveway, Colt scooped me up in his arms. I let out a squeal before giggling and wrapping my arms around his neck. Creed glanced back at us with a questioning look.
“She keeps falling over,” Colt explained as he carried me.
“It’s so hot,” I whined. “Let’s go swimming when we get home.”
“You gonna go in your underwear this time?” Creed asked me with mirth in his eyes.
“I’m not wearing any underwear, but I bought a bathing suit,” I said.
Colt stopped walking and set me on my wobbly feet. “Are you being serious?”
“Yes, I bought a suit to wear to Keelan’s party tomorrow and this pretty white cover-up dress to wear over it.”
Colt frowned. “I meant about not wearing underwear.”
I just grinned and spun on my heels, intending to continue on to Creed’s truck. Spinning was a dumb thing to do. My heels wobbled out from under me and I was on my way to the ground again.
Colt caught me by my waist, saving me.
Creed cursed and knelt before me. “You need to take off these shoes, Shi.”
With Colt still holding onto me, I lifted one foot and touched the toe of my pump to Creed’s chest with a giggle.
He shook his head and got to work unfastening the strap. As he pulled my shoe off my foot, his eyes traveled up my leg, paused for only a breath when they met the end of my dress, then jumped up to meet mine with his brows high, as if surprised. “You really aren’t wearing any underwear.”
Colt groaned in my ear.
“Creed!” I yanked my bare foot from his grasp to put it on the ground.
“I didn’t think you were serious,” Creed said, chuckling. “I have to say, I’m liking this naughty side of you.”
“I’m not naughty,” I protested.
“You left the house without your panties, Shi. Sounds like you’ve made some naughty decisions today,” Creed teased.
Instead of getting flustered, my tipsy brain thought it would be a good idea to add fuel to the fire. “I left my bra at home, too. I guess I really am a naughty girl.”
Colt cursed. “You’re killing me, babe.”
Creed snorted and held out his hand. “Give me your other foot, Shi.”
“Is this a ploy to look up my skirt again?” I asked.
“The first time was an accident, but no,” he said. “There’s no ploy. I just want to get you out of your shoes before you break something.”
I offered him my other foot and he was a gentleman as he removed my pump. Once both of my bare feet were planted on the ground, Colt let me go. Creed stood with my heels in his hand. He held them out to Colt. “I’ll carry her the rest of the way.”
Colt took my pumps and walked ahead of us. Creed easily scooped me into his arms and carried me to his truck, where Colt had the door open for me to climb in. As soon as we pulled away from Ethan’s and I relaxed in the dark backseat, my eyes began to feel heavy. I tried to keep them open, but at some point, I must have drifted. The next thing I knew, we were home and Creed was scooping me out of the truck.
“I don’t want to go home,” I mumbled as I fought to keep my eyes open. “I don’t want to sleep.”
“Want to stay over at our place?” Creed asked.
I snuggled my head against his shoulder. “Okay.”
I was in and out of consciousness as he carried me. I still heard them get their front door open and I felt the temperature change as we went inside.
