“Riley,” he said without any hesitation, his eyes still closed. “I’d get my ass kicked if I tried to hook up with anyone else here. Plus, Riley’s lips are super soft.”
Riley’s face heated as he ignored everyone’s knowing looks and tried to hide his shock by taking a sip of his frozen margarita. Maybe this would be harder than he thought.
Cole smiled and turned to his girlfriend. “Elena, same question.”
Elena lifted her head and took a considerate look around the hot tub.
“Hailey,” she said, and Hailey’s jaw dropped. “I have a feeling she’s one of those ‘lady in the streets and freakin the sheets’ girls.”
Avery choked on his margarita as Hailey did her best impression of a deer in headlights. Everyone else laughed, and Riley was relieved as he began to feel the much-needed buzz from the tequila.
“Emilio, truth or dare?” Elena said.
“Dare,” he chose, an excited look on his face as he clutched a blissful-looking Abby closer to him.
“I dare you to play with Abby under the water.”
A couple gasps were heard around the circle, Josh’s head popping up as he shouted, “That escalated quickly!” but Emilio just laughed.
“What if I am already doing that? Does that mean I win the game?”
Abby couldn’t hold back her laughter, and suddenly that blissful look on her face made more sense.
“Holy shit, Abby!” Hailey said, her hand held against her chest in shock. A bit of intrigue hid behind her eyes.
“Elena, truth or dare,” Abby said.
“Dare.”
“I dare you to have a twerk contest with Josh. I think it’s time we finally find out who’s best.”
Oh fuck. Not again.
Josh’s smile lit up the dark mountains surrounding them. He loved twerking and he’d tried to challenge Elena in the past, but she never went for it.
She sighed, but steeled herself, standing from her spot along with Josh.
“Wait!” Josh shouted. “Your twerks are gonna look so much better in a bikini bottom compared to my shorts. You should put on Riley’s bathing suit so we’re even.”
Riley’s eyes widened, but Abby saved him.
“Don’t worry Josh,” she said as she shifted on Emilio’s lap, her hand returning to the surface holding her own bright yellow bikini bottoms. “You can wear mine.”
“Oh, fuck yes,” Emilio muttered from under her.
“Yes!” Josh shouted, reaching for the bottoms and dipping below the water to change. “Umm, doesn’t fit my junk too well. What do you think, Riley?”
Josh stood so only Riley could see his front, the suit leaving absolutely nothing to his imagination, and Riley gaped at him.
“Dude, face the wall where you were sitting,” he said, chuckling, his face getting hotter. He was thinking of Christmas, when Josh put on a private twerk show for him, leaving him confused and horny. And confused about being horny.
“Oh, right. Hey, someone put on some music for us.”
Avery searched for a dance playlist and the air filled with a quick beat.
Elena and Josh stood next to each other, Elena usingthe wall for leverage so her ass hovered above the water, while Josh bent over slightly. As they started to dance, Riley’s mouth went dry.
“Damn, you two. It’s like I’m at a bakery with all this cake on display,” Cole said, admiring both Elena and Josh, or what Abby’s bathing suit barely covered on Josh. Riley had to stifle a growl at Cole, not totally comfortable with Cole's eyes on his bestie, but not wanting to think about why.
