Double Team Read online

  I can feel his cum dripping from me, and the sensation makes me feel dirty.

  I feel filthy and used.

  And I think I like it.

  The realization shocks me, and I still must look stunned when Albie turns around at the door. "What's wrong?"

  "Nothing," I say, shrugging. This is definitely not something I'm ready to put into words.

  "You’re giving me a look."

  "Um, I think I need a towel or something."

  Albie grins. "That's kind of hot."

  "It's kind of gross."

  "Hot," he says, pressing his thumb against a keypad at the door. The door swings open, and he quickly walks across the room toward the bathroom. "Make yourself comfortable."

  Make yourself comfortable.

  Like I'm a guest and not the stepsister he just fucked up against the wall.

  Albie reappears with a warm washcloth in his hand, bending down to kiss me while he slides it between my legs. There's something incredibly erotic about the way he moves it over my skin and cleans me.

  When he’s finished, he stands. “I’m going to let Noah know I’m indisposed for the next few hours,” he says, turning.

  “Wait – what if someone comes looking for me?”

  He turns and looks at me with a cocky grin. “Then they’ll find you underneath me, I guess.”

  When I come back from giving Noah a bullshit excuse for missing whatever the hell is on the agenda this afternoon – some scheduled activity, no doubt, even though we’re supposed to be having a relaxing summer – Belle is naked.

  Belle is naked, in my bedroom.

  She’s walking toward the bathroom, her perfect ass toward me, and I stand there for a second, watching her.

  This is the first time I’ve seen her totally naked.

  She turns and looks over her shoulder. “Did you make an excuse for me?” she asks. "Security assigned me a bodyguard, you know."

  "I did," I say. "Your bodyguard knows you're here."

  "What?" She spins around toward me, looking at me with wide eyes. Her hand is on her hip, her perky breasts visible now that she’s facing me, and I make no attempt to hide the fact that I’m ogling her.

  And I don’t make any attempt to conceal the raging hard-on I get from looking at her. She’s the hottest woman I’ve ever seen.

  "Relax," I say. "I told him you're here because we're discussing my involvement with the charity work you're going to be doing."

  "In your bedroom," she says, scowling. "Noah isn't stupid."

  "No," I agree. I'm sure he suspects something is going on between Belle and I. "But he's very loyal."

  She purses her lips for a moment, as if she’s considering leaving. “You’re staring at me like I’m a piece of meat.”

  “I haven’t seen you naked before. I’m admiring the view,” I say. “I enjoy looking at what’s mine.”

  “Has anyone told you you’re kind of a misogynistic prick?”

  “More times than you think.”

  She laughs. “I’m not sure I like someone referring to me as his possession,” she says.

  “You liked it a few minutes ago,” I say, walking past her and pausing long enough to slap her ass. Just to emphasize the whole misogynistic prick thing. “Besides, I’m just stating a fact.”

  She follows me into the bathroom, standing in the doorway as I turn on the water in the oversized tub. “You think owning me is a fact?”

  Crossing the room, I keep my eyes on hers as I reach between her legs, my fingers pressing against her clit. When she inhales, her breasts rise, her nipples grazing my chest. “You’re saying it’s not?” I ask. “I thought I left my mark a few minutes ago.”

  A crimson flush rises to her cheeks, and she opens her mouth but doesn’t speak.

  “Don’t leave your mouth hanging open like that, luv,” I say, crossing the bathroom to shut off the water. “It only tempts me.”

  I don’t wait for her to respond before I disrobe and step into the tub.

  “A bath?” she asks, watching me from the door.

  “Get in.”

  She pads across the marble floor with light steps, and dips a foot in the water. “You should stop ordering me around.”

  I wait until she sinks into the water to respond. “You should stop doing what I tell you to do.”

  Belle sits on the other side of the bathtub, like she’s suddenly chaste and trying to keep something from happening between us. “What?” she asks, when she catches me watching her.

  “You’re nervous.”

  “This is weird.”

  “You mean sitting in a tub with your stepbrother?” I ask. “What could be weird about that?”

  “Stop calling yourself that.”

  “I only do it because you’re so hung up on it.”

  “I’m not hung up on it.”

  “Sitting in the tub with my wife, then.”

  Belle’s eyes widen, but the corners of her mouth curl up and she splashes me playfully with water. “I told you not to call me that, either.”

  “I thought we already established you don’t do the telling here, luv.”

  She laughs. “You have some major control issues.”

  “I’m a prince,” I say. “What do you expect? And I already know you enjoy being told what to do, despite your protests otherwise.”

  “Do not.”

  “Come here.”

  She smiles and arches an eyebrow. “And what if I don’t?"

  "Come over here," I tell her.

  It's not a question. There's no trace of a question in my tone.

  She studies me for a long time before relenting, sliding across the expansive tub until she's face-to-face with me. "And?"

  "Turn around."

  "Why?" she asks, but she turns before I can answer. Pulling her back tightly, I press my hardness against her.

  "Because I want to feel you against me." I slide my hands over her arms, across her breasts, down her stomach. When my lips hover near her neck, she tilts her head to the side, responding to my touch, and I breathe her in deeply.

  "Did you just smell me?"

  "No."

  "You totally just smelled me. I heard you sniff."

  "I like the way you smell."

  "Oh."

  "Yeah, oh."

  She finally relaxes in my arms, as I run my palms over her taut stomach. When she leans her head back against my chest, I sit there, holding her for a long time.

  The rational part of my brain tells me I should get the hell out of this bathtub.

  I should get the hell away from her.

  This feels too much like something more than it can be.

  I’m not this man, the one sitting in the bathtub holding a girl like this.

  I’m not this man, who’s sitting here still, in one place with Belle.

  I’m not this man who feels content.

  "You love this place,” Belle says abruptly.

  I love being here with her.

  “What place?”

  “This whole thing,” she says. “The summer house.”

  “We all used to love it here -- Alex, especially. Now, not so much – all of her friends are in hotter cities, and there’s no club scene here.”

  “We had a place on Cape Cod like this,” she says. “I mean, not like this place. It was a small summer home, my father’s first huge purchase after his company became really big. He kept it, even after he was really wealthy and could get a huge place in the Hamptons or whatever.” She pauses for a long moment before speaking again. “He was a good man. It was hard for my mother, after he died.”

  “It was sudden,” I say. I looked up the stories about her father’s death, but that doesn’t mean I know how it was for her when it happened.

  "It happened on a Friday night when my parents were out at dinner. He was having chest pain all afternoon. My mother had a hard time after that," she says. "She wasn't always so…political…you know.
