I can hear Finn’s voice through the sound of my heart pounding in my chest. His light chuckles mix into the air while I’m trying to catch my breath. My body feels consumed with Finn’s passion. I can’t think about anything other than the man lying next to me, and the moment of intensity we just shared. I can’t move. I can barely breathe.
He stands up and pulls his pants over his round bum. He turns around and looks down at me on the bed. The sun is shining through the windows and Finn is standing directly in the light. His body looks strong and lean, just like his brother’s. His brother… Jack. My eyes squeeze shut when I think about him.
I feel like such a slut. I sigh heavily and close my eyes again, trying to block all of my thoughts. When I open my eyes again Finn’s lips are hovering over mine. He pulls the corners of his mouth back into another grin.
“You’re always smiling,” I whisper to him.
“There’s a reason for that.”
His lips press into mine and part slightly, sending the end of his tongue into my mouth. His hands run along my body and I can feel my heart speeding up again. Finn pulls back away from me, standing off of the bed again. I moan in longing… feeling guilty about how much I want to be with Finn. I only met him this morning. I shouldn’t fall for guys this easily.
Finn pulls on his shirt, “We’re going to be late.”
“Oh, right. I forgot about the party!”
I pull myself off of the mattress and over to my suitcase. I base my outfit on what Finn’s wearing, and decide that I can dress casually. Black skinny jeans, a white tank top, and a teal necklace that my mom bought me before I left. I braid my hair again and throw it over my shoulder.
I turn from the mirror and see Finn sitting across the room from me, staring down at his phone. He follows me out of my room and down the stairs. The house is mostly dark and no one is home yet. I twist my mouth in confusion, wondering where everyone is. I check my own phone and see that I don’t have any missed calls or texts.
It’s getting a little chilly outside and I want to turn around and grab a jacket from my room, but Finn is almost to the car and we’re already late. I close the door behind me and make my way to the passenger seat. I can tell that Finn is anxious to get to the party but is still being polite and patient. He’s such a nice guy.
The car ride is cold so I wrap my arms around myself. I look out the window as the street lights sweep across my face. Music consumes the first awkward silence that Finn and I have faced all day.
“I hope you don’t… regret… what happened,” each word is forced out of his mouth.
I turn my head to look at him, “Why would I regret that?”
I reach my hand over and put it on his thigh, rubbing gently and reassuringly.
“You were amazing. It’s hard to regret anything that felt so natural,” I continue.
I’m glad that I don’t have to lie to him like I’ve lied to my boyfriends in the past. This time I’m telling the truth. Sex with Finn was pure, sensual, and perfect. My fingers are still trembling slightly.
Finn looks over and shows off his proud, cocky smile. My hand squeezes his thigh suggestively.
“You were amazing too, Ash. And I agree! But what about Jack?”
I bite down on my lip, “I don’t know, Finn. Should we tell him?”
“No. Not yet at least. Maybe we should see how things play out?”
“Okay,” I nod, “What Jack doesn’t know can’t hurt him.”
Would Jack actually be hurt if he found out what happened? All we shared together was a drunk night in his hotel room. It’s not like he has any actual feelings for me. The car pulls into a crowded driveway next to a pretty little house with loud music blaring from the inside.
We get out of the car and walk quickly to the front door. Finn’s knuckles pound against the door and I look down to check my outfit. I fidget with the end of my braid and try not to look as nervous as I actually am.
The door opens and a blonde haired woman is standing in front of us. Her big brown eyes glimmer from the inside of the house. She squeals, “Finn! Hey!”
Finn wraps one of his arms around her as we step into the house, “Grace, this is Ash. Ash, this is Grace.”
She smiles at me again and places her hand in mine. She smells like wine and sweet perfume. I keep nodding my head and grinning at what she says to me. When she walks away, I turn and look for Finn but he’s gone. I wouldn’t define this party as “small” but at least it isn’t a sweaty, overpowering night club.
I make my way to the kitchen and greet a few unfamiliar faces. I pour myself a glass of wine and lean against the counter, taking frequent sips. I spot Finn standing in a crowd of people across the room, laughing and gulping down a beer. I sigh and wonder why I agreed to be here.
“Ashley,” a smooth voice pulls my attention away.
Jack’s face creates an unexpected feeling of happiness.
“Jack!”
I sit down my glass and he pulls me into a full embrace. He seems very hyper and excited to see me, which isn’t expected either.
“I’m sorry I had to bail so early this morning, I felt horrible about leaving you,” he tells me during the hug.
“Don’t worry about it. I had a nice day with your brother, actually!”
“I’m glad Finny was there to keep you company, but I’m here now,” he gives me a sly wink.
I feel flustered around him. I haven’t seen him since late last night in his bed, when our bodies curled together in warmth. Jack’s touch is stimulating. I can’t help but move closer.
“So how long are you here on vacation?” I try to change the subject.
He shrugs, “We’re headed back to London next week. What about you?”
“Two weeks here with my relatives,” I say sadly when I remember that it’s useless to start a relationship with either of these twins. They live in another country, and I’ll never see them again once we go back to our homes.
“Since we aren’t here for much longer,” Jack reaches into the small pocket on his shirt and pulls out a joint, “Let’s have some fun, huh?”
