Kie's POV:

JJ and I have hooked up a few times. It's only been a week of this and so far it's been great. We've followed most of the rules. Everyone has given us shit about our little arrangement but it worked for us. Nice and easy. No feelings, just sex.

We were at a boneyard party and we all split up. Pope was talking to a few girls, Sarah found an old friend, John B was with some guy surfers, and JJ was with some slut. Typical. I was all alone and I watched as JJ started making out with the girl.

I know we agreed to seeing other people but I didn't want to think about him doing all things he does to me to her and every girl before me. I left the party and went back to the chateau. A few minutes later the door opened and JJ came in.

"Why'd you leave?"

"Just wasn't in the party mood"

"Well are you in the mood to have sex with me?" He asked moving closer to me

I didn't respond... I didn't know if I was or not until he came closer to me and I said, "Yeah"

He picked me up and carried me to the spare bedroom at the chateau. When we left the bedroom, the pogues were back from the party.

"You guys are disgusting" John B said rolling his eyes

"Let's go have a bonfire" Sarah suggested

We all went outside and sat around the fire. We had a few more drinks and just laughed and talked. It was so normal and Pope even mentioned, "You guys are so good at pretending like nothing is happening between the two of you"

JJ and I looked at each other. It was true. We were good at keeping the hook ups separate from our friend group.

We went about our night and we all slept over at the chateau. I took the spare room and I stayed in there alone. JJ slept on the couch like he always did.

The few days, nothing changed. We were having the best summer with our friends. It was a Tuesday night and my parents were gone for the night. I was also drunk. I texted JJ to come over. It was only around 4pm so it was earlier than most of our hook ups.

I had on a red lace bra and and matching thong. JJ told me about a fantasy he once had. The red was part of it and the other part was handcuffs. So I made sure the front door was unlocked for him and I handcuffed myself to my bed.

I wasn't worried at all. I was actually kind of excited. I laid there and I heard my doorknob turn and my door slowly opened and JJ quickly slammed the door shut. I was so confused and a little worried.

"Dude, you should go" JJ said abruptly

"Oh, I get it.. Y'all are gonna do the nasty" Pope's voice said

"We'll call you later to hang" JJ said

"I get it, have fun! You're clearly excited" Pope laughed

I heard footsteps leaving and it took another minute before JJ came back in the room. He came in and I laughed and asked, "Why did you bring Pope?"

"I didn't expect this. It's 4pm, we agreed on night hook ups only"

"It's getting dark out and I'm kinda tipsy and I wanted you"

"Next time give me a heads up. Thankfully Pope didn't see you but he totally caught me trying to hide my massive boner" JJ said which made me laugh

JJ couldn't stop looking at me. He crawled on top of me and said, "Oh the things that I'm about to do to you"

He crashed his lips into mine and then the fun began. Once it was over, he was removing the handcuffs and he asked, "Shit, are you okay?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Your wrists are super bruised and red. Shit, did I hurt you? Did I do this?" He asked panicked

I looked at my wrists and there was some bruising. JJ was totally freaking out and I stopped and looked at him and said, "J, you did nothing wrong. I think I just put them on too tight and then when I moved my arms it cut off circulation. They don't hurt. I'm fine"

I tried to reassure him and he asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm okay. I'd do it again"

"I like the sound of that, but next time, I'm getting you the fluffy handcuffs"

"Who says I'm wearing the handcuffs next time" I teased him as he got dressed

"Are you heading to the chateau?" I asked

"Yeah, you?"

"Yeah, I'll drive" I said getting up and going over to my dresser to grab some new clothes

Once we were dressed, we left my room and in the car the conversation totally shifted. We talked about surfing. We arrived and Pope was there with John B and Sarah.

"We heard you guys kicked Pope out"

"Not into threesomes" JJ joked and I was mortified

"So what's the plan for tonight?" John B asked

"Cats ass" JJ suggestion and we all agreed

We all had our swimsuits on under our clothes and we all got drinks and climbed in. I made sure I kept my hands hidden as I didn't want them to make fun of the handcuff marks.

The water felt amazing and we all started talking about college. JJ got super quiet and the more excited we got, he zoned out into his own little world.

"I'm tired, I'm going to bed" He said getting out and going inside the chateau

"What's his problem?" Sarah asked

"No clue" I said as his mood totally shifted

"Someone should go talk to him" Pope suggested and everyone looked at me

"Why me? We're just hooking up, there's no feelings"

"Kie, there's feelings whether you like it or not. They might not be romantic like you're in love but you both care about each other. He's always opened up to you, He'll talk to me sometimes but he's also stubborn. He listens to you" John B said

"I'm not in love with him. I'm going because he's my best friend. Like all of you are to me" I said getting out of the hot tub

"No sex anywhere but the spare room" John B yelled as I walked inside

I didn't turn around as I raised my arm up and gave him the middle finger as I walked into the Chateau
