“I’m going to take first watch tonight, Trent. Why don’t you go in and get some sleep in while you know you can.”
I couldn’t believe he was offering to take first watch. Then again, he’d slept great the night before with Ariel wrapped up safely in his arms. I would know, I stayed up half the night entirely too fucking jealous as I watched the two of them sleeping peacefully.
I was exhausted and almost desperately needed the sleep. Running on empty meant mistakes could be made and none of us could afford for that to happen.
There was one small problem with that.
The cabin was basically one big room. That meant there was only one bed we all had to share. Granted, it was a king size bed, but still.
I did not want to sleep in a bed next to Ariel. There was little chance of me keeping my hands to myself if that were to happen.
There was a reason I tried not to touch her and keep some physical distance whenever I could get away with it.
“Thanks, brother.” I murmured as I clapped him on the shoulder and walked past him.
He didn’t say anything but I felt his eyes on me as I walked into the cabin. I knew he wanted to say something to me about Ariel because he thought I was being stubborn. Simon thought we should both put the moves on her hard and not let up until she reciprocated. I didn’t think that was the way to go but I understood why he was getting so frustrated with the situation.
Ariel was on the couch pretending to watch tv when I walked through the room. I said pretending because I knew her nosy ass had been trying to eavesdrop on my brother and I when we’d been outside. She wouldn't have been able to help herself.
I picked my bag up from the floor by the front door and carried it into the bathroom with me. For such a small cabin there was a really huge freaking tub with jets and everything.
I stripped out of my clothes and got into the shower. I turned the water on to scorching hot and washed my hair before scrubbing down my body.
My dick got hard when I soaped him up and my mind immediately went to the green eyed blonde girl in the next room.
I couldn’t stop myself from wrapping my hand around my dick and rubbing it up and down, soaping it up. I groaned and bit my bottom lip hard to muffle my noises. The last thing I needed was Ariel hearing me and knowing what I was doing in here.
I definitely didn’t need her out there thinking I was in the bathroom jacking my dick off while in the shower. Which was exactly what I was doing.
But I couldn’t stop myself now that I had started. And I didn’t even want to try.
I needed to work it out of my system.
I needed to work Ariel out of my system.
I pictured her in my head. On her knees before me in the shower. She stared up at me with those big green eyes of hers that were filled with a burning heat as she reached out for my cock.
She wrapped her small, soft hand around my dick and licked her lips hungrily. She leaned forward and licked the tip.
My cock jerked in my hand and I was slightly embarrassed with myself that I almost came so fast while touching myself just at the thought of her warm, wet tongue sliding around the tip of my cock.
She moved her mouth up and down the length of my cock while sucking on it. All the while watching me with those eyes of hers.
It didn’t take long of fantasizing about her before I was coming all over my stomach.
The immediate release felt fucking great but it didn’t last long and wore off quickly. I didn’t much care for the empty feeling it left me with.
I rinsed off one last time and got out of the shower. I toweled off and got dressed in a pair of soft gray pajama pants.
Ariel was still sitting on the couch when I left the bathroom. I didn’t see my brother and I assumed he was still outside doing his job like he was supposed to. He could be serious when the situation warranted it.
I didn’t say anything to Ariel as I crawled into the bed beneath the covers. I was tired and didn’t have the energy to hold down a conversation with her at the moment.
I didn’t care that the lights were on or the volume of the tv being slightly loud. I had slept on the hard dirt before, and a whole lot of worse places. I’d take a soft bed with the lights on and a little bit of noise over the cold dirt any day of the week.
Simon had had some rough nights growing up because we’d jumped into our training with both feet. Some of the shit that had been involved in our training had been downright fucked up and intense but we’d survived it and passed with flying colors. That didn’t mean I didn’t appreciate a soft bed and an easy ride because I did. I never wanted to experience half of that stuff again because going through it the one time had been more than enough for me.
I heard the tv turn off and Ariel moving around the main room in the cabin before the door to the bathroom closed quietly. A few minutes later the shower turned on. I hoped the hot water heater in this place worked good and I hadn't used up too much of the hot water during my own shower. I’d feel awful if she was in there taking a cold shower because of me.
