The Bet (Book 1 in The Deception Series)

Chapter 18: each other's company

Garrett

~~~~~~~~

God, her lips are heaven.

I never want this moment to end, how did I live before her?

The bet. Don't forget, she humiliated your ass, get your payback, Garrett.

But I don't want to live without her.

You're gonna lose a bet for some girl.

I sounded like my father and I hated it but then I thought about Brennen messing with me and saying that I'd fall her.

I didn't want him to be right.

I pull away from her and she frowns.

"Someone's gonna see us." I say.

"Who cares?" She says.

I chuckle.

"Come on, you need to sleep and so do I." I say before I swim to the edge of the pool.

I watch her climb out and I think about how she said she didn't not like me. I'm so fucking close, I'm proud. I really didn't think I'd be able to do this.

But here I am.

I grab a towel off the chair and wrap it around her small body.

"Pretty girl." I whisper before I place a kiss against her lip.

She smiles before we both make our way inside.

Everyone but Jake and Lily were in the living room but Chris and Brennen were knocked out in the couch.

Me and Taylor run upstairs and I give her some of my clothes to switch into. She turns her back to me and takes her bikini top off

Holy fuck.

I stare at her bare back.

Hard dick right now.

My drunk ass walks over to her with the t-shirt in my hand.

I stop behind her and she looks over her shoulder at me.

I lean down and place a kiss on her shoulder. She smiles as she takes my hands and places them on her bare stomach making me drop the shirt. I place kisses up to her neck as she rests her head back against my bare chest.

I suck the skin on her neck making sure to leave a hickey. I slide my hands up her torso and cup her breasts in my hands.

She moans before I press my body against hers, making sure she feels how hard I am right now.

"Garrett." She whispers.

I smile as I continue to kiss her soft skin.

I want this girl. She's all I ever wanted

The bet.

But she's perfect.

She humiliated you.

I sigh as I place one last kiss on her shoulder.

"I'm sleepy." I groan.

"Wanna sleep?" She asks.

I nod before she bends down and grabs the shirt off the ground.

I watch her put it on before she runs to my bed and jumps on it.

I chuckle before I change into boxers and climb in next to her. She lays her head on my chest and we both knock out.

~~~~~~~~

I walked out of hockey practice and it was freezing. I loved it. It was already pretty late, I stayed a little longer and practiced until every bone in my body hurt.

I pull my phone and call Taylor. I don't know why but I just did.

"Hey." She says after she answers.

"Hi." I say as I walk across the parking lot.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Studying for midterms."

"Ah, I see." I say as I reach my car.

I get into the car and we still don't say anything. It wasn't awkward, it was just calm.

"What are you up to?" She asks.

"Finished practice just now."

"This late?"

"I usually stay late and practice some more."

"You really love hockey, huh?"

"Love is an understatement."

She lets out a small laugh.

"I had fun last night." I say.

"Me too."

It falls silent again. Just us enjoying each other's company.

"What's your favorite color?" She asks.

I chuckle.

"Purple."

"hm okay."

"What's yours?"

"Red."

"Like blood."

She chuckles.

"Red like blood." She repeats after me.

I smile.

"Favorite food." I say.

"That's hard, there's so many good ones."

"No, it's not. Mines cereal."

"Cereal?"

"Yup."

"What kind of cereal?"

"Fruit loops."

"Interesting." She says.

"You never said your answer."

"Hm, blueberry muffins."

I smile.

"Interesting." I say.

We talked the whole drive home from the rink, we just kept talking about random things. She complained about our midterm in communications class, I told her random shit about hockey. It was nice to just talk and talk to someone like that.
