In Love with My Brother's Best Friend: Complete Box Set (9 page)

“
I
bet you like to be called sir.”

Then
she burst into laughter and kept moving.

The
rest of the rehearsal went pretty quickly. It wasn't as bad as I
thought it was going to be. I kind of enjoyed it.

Tina
was paired up with one of the guys we all went to school with. Tim
was still friends with the guy. I knew there was no way the dude
would even talk to her or want to stand that close to her. I'd taken
care of that one years ago. She moved to grab his arm so they could
walk down the aisle, and he flinched as he looked over me. I let out
a light laugh, and Tiny turned on her feet, put her arms over her
chest, and growled at me.

“
Is
there a problem?” she asked.

“
Not
at all,” I answered with a smile and shrug.

“
Good,”
she snapped before turning around and grabbing the guys arm again.

“
Don't
be such a wuss,” she told him. “We are not in high school
anymore. My brother's not going to threaten you.”

“
It's
not him I'm worried about,” he mumbled.

“
What?”
she asked.

Oh
crap, I thought. He'd be sorry if he answered that question.

“
Can
you please get moving, Tiny,” I said. “We have dinner,
and I have an awesome night planned with the groom.”

“
I
bet you do, Jackie,” she said sarcastically. “I've got a
beach calling my name. It's been a very long time since I've felt the
soft sand against my body.”

She
turned back around, grabbed the guy by the arm, and didn't say one
word to me the rest of the rehearsal. I couldn't decide if I liked
her better with her mouth closed or if I enjoyed her cocky banter.
She was different, but she was still perfect.

I
paid attention to her and her boyfriend. Her man sat with his head
down, looking at his phone, the entire time. What was wrong with him,
I thought? If she was my woman, my eyes would have been glued to her
sexy ass the entire time. I can say for sure, no asshole would have
gotten away with talking to her the way I was. I'd have had them up
against a wall, letting them know not to speak to my woman like that.
The dude just sat there. He never even looked up to make sure she was
okay with what was going on. I definitely wouldn't have been okay
with her arm around some other guys either. It didn't seem to bother
the Chris guy any. It made me wonder what was so damn important on
that phone of his. Was he faithful to her? Did he treat her right?
There was no way he deserved her. Nobody would ever deserve her, not
even me.

Tina

I
had to get out of there. As soon as the rehearsal was over, I walked
up to Tim.

“
I'm
going to run by the hotel to check in and change clothes. There is no
way I'm going to dinner in this. We'll meet you at the restaurant.”

“
Are
you okay?” he asked. “You seem on edge, and you're biting
all of our heads off.”

“
I'm
fine,” I answered. “It's been a long day. I worked and
was so worried we wouldn't get here in time. You should have seen us
running around the airport. Chris probably thinks I'm crazy now.”

“
Did
you guys argue?” he asked. “I'm going to have a talk with
him while you're here. He needs to know I won't put up with him
hurting you.”

“
No,
you won't,” I said. “I've been away from that protective
crap for ten years. Don't you dare start shit, or I'll fly home right
then. We will meet you at the restaurant.”

“
Fine,”
he said, as he watched me walk over to Chris.

Chris
stood up, I took his hand, and we took off for the car. He waited
until I pulled out of lot before he flipped his switch.

“
What
the hell was all of that back there?” he asked sternly.

“
What?”
I asked.

“
Do
not play dumb with me, Tiny,” he said sarcastically.

“
Do
not ever call me that again,” I snapped.

“
What
the hell happened between you and that Jackson guy? Why in the world
did you feel the need to introduce me as your boyfriend?” he
asked.

“
Nothing
happened between me and Jackson,” I said.

“
Bullshit,”
he said with a loud laugh. “That is a total lie. You better
spill your shit right now, Tina. Do you hear me?”

“
To
make a long story short,” I began. “Nobody knows this.
Not even Rachel or Jen. Most certainly not anyone in there. I had a
huge crush on him. At my eighteenth birthday party, something kind of
happened between us. I have not seen him since. You can't say a word.
My family would flip. You see how stupid my brother acts. It was so
long ago. I know it would hurt their relationship.”

“
That
fucker is the reason you've avoided coming home for ten years?”
he asked. “I can't believe it.”

I
pulled in and parked in the hotel lot. We got out and grabbed our
bags, and I looked over at Chris.

“
I'm
so sorry,” I said, as a tear ran down my cheek.

He
pulled me in against his side, and we headed for the door.

“
I
was about to break down in tears and didn't know what to do. I
thought he was with that perfect Bridget. I'll make it up to you. I
swear.”

“
Okay,”
he said. “You know I'm here for you. I'll be your boyfriend,
but don't expect me to put out.”

“
Thank
you,” I said with a laugh, as I stood on my toes to place a
soft kiss on his cheek. “You're the best.”

Jackson

I
pulled into the hotel. When I looked toward the door, I saw Tina and
that fucker with his arm around her. She was just planting a kiss on
his cheek with a huge smile on her face. Of course we were at the
same hotel. It was the nicest one in town. I was surprised she hadn't
chosen one closer to her mom and dad's house. She should have been
staying with them. That way, Chris would have had to sleep in a
separate room. I couldn't stand the thought of them sharing a bed in
the same building I was in or anywhere else for that matter. I wanted
to rip that guy in two so badly. It didn't make sense. I didn't have
a claim to her, but I didn't want any other man's hands on her. She
said he worked with her, and I thought she said he was a teacher. It
made me wonder how much he made. Somehow, I didn't think it would
matter to her at all.

I
parked my car and waited for a bit before getting out. Tim knew I was
running by my hotel before going to the restaurant. I accidentally
left my wallet in my old pants when I changed so quickly earlier and
needed it for dinner. No matter how many times I asked Tim's mom what
I could do to help with the wedding, she always turned me down. I was
going to make sure to do something to lighten the load on his
parents. I'd been doing it here and there for a few years. I always
made sure to be careful so that his mom never figured out who had
done it. They were small things, but I knew they helped.

Tim
knew where I was staying, and he was coming back with me after
dinner. We were going to hang out in the club at the hotel and crash
in my room. I promised Renee I would have him at the church on time
in the morning. We were staying at the same hotel his parents had
rented him a room at for his eighteenth birthday party. It was an
awesome hotel on the beach. There was always something cool going on
there.

Just
as I walked through the door, I saw Tina hand her credit card to the
woman checking them in. Then I watched her sign the receipt. What the
hell is that? Her man should have been paying. It wasn't her job. I
didn't care if it was her brother's wedding. He needed to care of his
woman. That was his job. What kind of man was he?

Once
they were safely in the elevator, I walked up to the desk. It was the
same girl I had gone to school with. I let her know that I wanted the
card she had just swiped credited back the money and handed her my
card to pay for their room. She looked at me like I was crazy but did
as I asked. I let her know that everything and anything charged to
that room was to be charged to my card.

“
I
can't believe you're paying for Tina's room,” she commented.
“Why would you do that?”

“
She's
my best friend's little sister, and she's here for his wedding,”
I answered, as I signed the receipt, snatched my copy from her, and
stormed off toward the elevator to get my wallet from my suite.

Who
did she think she was asking why I was paying for Tina's room, I
wondered? It was none of her damn business. She needed to do her job
without getting involved. I shook my head as I hit the button for the
top floor. Damn women needed to quit questioning me. It was beginning
to really piss me off.

I couldn't stop
thinking about Tina in the same hotel with another man. It made me
want to go to her room and demand to know what the hell was going on
with her. What did she mean by that beach comment, I wondered? The
feelings moving through me were like nothing I had ever felt before.
Why did she have to show up, I thought? Why couldn't she have just
skipped the wedding like she did everything else? If it wasn't for
being the best man, I surely would have left and gone home. I wasn't
sure how much more I could take of that sassy mouth of hers without
ruining so many things.

I
didn't care if I was a few minutes late for dinner. There was
something I needed to take care of. Tina and what's his name were
going to change, so I figured I had some time. If I got there before
her, I wouldn't be the latest. It wasn't like me to need to take care
of myself, but my body was going crazy thinking about that cocky
mouth of hers. I ripped my clothes off quickly, turned the water on
the shower all the way to hot, and stepped in. She had my mind
spinning, and I couldn't face her again without some kind of release.
That woman was testing every ounce of control I had. Nobody ever did
that.

With
my hands on the shower walls, I let the water run over my head and
down my back. I couldn't believe we were both in the same hotel we
had been at together only ten years earlier. With my eyes closed, all
I could picture was her, naked on the sand, in the moonlight. Her
body was ready and waiting for me. She was dripping wet, and I
couldn't wait to be inside of her. My hand slid from the shower wall
and moved down to my growing cock. I couldn't help it, I needed to
come or I was going to lose my damn mind. My hand wrapped around my
shaft, and I began slowly stroking. The thought of being buried so
fucking deep inside of her was enough to have me solid and so damn
hard. The veins in my dick were pumping hard. The soft skin over my
steel rod needed to feel her. That night would forever be etched in
my mind. That scene played over and over every time I closed my eyes.
There was no getting rid of it.

I
began to stroke harder as I pictured her on her knees with that cocky
mouth of hers open and willing. She'd be naked and perfect. I'd look
down and see her looking up at me with need in her eyes. She'd want
to taste me. That was one thing we hadn't done, and I wanted to feel
her lips around me so damn bad. My thoughts of her mouth were so much
worse than they had been before. The way she talked back and
challenged me had me wanting to order her to her knees. I pictured
her hand around my cock instead of mine. It was like she was right
there. I could see her tongue slide out from between those lips.
She'd lick me from the base of my dick all the way to the tip. Then
she would open wide and slip me between them. They'd be so damn soft.
I would watch her take me into her mouth, and I'd see her naked
breasts wanting to be touched. They would have to wait. I'd want her
mouth more than anything else in that moment. She'd suck hard, as she
took me deep into her throat. I pictured my hand wrapping hard in her
hair and pulling her from my cock, but I'd stop just before it fell
from her lips. Then I'd thrust into her mouth until I felt her
throat. She'd suck me hard. Her other hand would go to the back of my
leg and pull me closer. I'd take my free hand and grab the back of
her neck. Then I'd fuck her mouth hard and deep. I wanted to fill
that cocky mouth and show her who was in control. My hand gripped my
cock and began stroking harder. I let my head fall back and my eyes
remain closed as I continued thinking about her sucking me. Her
fingers would dig into the back of my leg as she tried to get me even
closer. I'd be so deep inside her mouth, filling it completely. She'd
suck hard, as she'd look up at me with love in her eyes. I'd hold her
head hard and fill her mouth. Then I'd tighten my grip in her hair,
still my legs, and fill her sweet mouth with burst after burst of me.
She'd swallow every last drop and lick me clean. Just as I thought
about her cocky mouth swallowing me, I cried out her name and burst
all over the shower. I stood still for a moment, as I let my head
fall forward under the water. What was she doing to me, I wondered?
