He stripped out of his clothes and turned the shower on, not waiting it to get warm as he stepped beneath the cold spray.All the time, he tried not to think about Larissa.She didn’t want to talk to him.She didn’t want to have anything to do with him.He’d already talked to Carlos, and the other man had laughed at him.
“I wasn’t making that bet for real,” Carlos said.“I saw the way you two look at one another.The way you dance around each other.She didn’t have a fucking clue how she felt, but you, you had an idea.It was only supposed to make you realize how you felt about each other.That is the only reason I did it.”
After he and Larissa came together, the bet would be off, because Carlos knew he wouldn’t go through with it.
Running a hand down his face, he tilted his head back.It didn’t matter anymore.Cadeon had seen to that.There was no way Larissa was ever going to look at him again.He took a deep breath.
Each time he thought of Larissa not wanting anything to do with him, a sharp pain struck him right to the chest, and it was like he couldn’t think.The pain wasn’t manageable.It was so acute.He tried not to think, but it was impossible.Larissa was part of him, and he couldn’t make her just disappear.
He missed her so badly.That sweet smile.The giggle from making her laugh.The startled gasp when he touched her, and she wasn’t expecting to enjoy it as much as she did.All of this combined together, until it was hard to focus.
Big Dick had never missed anyone, not like this.When he fucked things up with Harlow, he’d missed her.She was his sister and his favorite family member.This was different.
The feelings he had for Larissa were not going away.This wasn’t just a case of fucking.This was ...desperation.Pure, unadulterated need.And he wasn’t used to a woman making him feel this way.
After washing his body, his cock was not even hard, because the pain in Larissa’s eyes danced across his mind, and it instantly turned him the fuck off.He never wanted to cause her any pain, and yet he was the one to cause her the most.
There was a hard knock on the door, and it wouldn’t be long before the shower was in demand.Big Dick was done.He’d already soaped up his body and taken care of his hair.
Climbing out, he gathered up his clothes, wrapped a towel around his waist, and opened the bathroom door.Brick and two women hanging off each of his arms was trying to get inside.
Big Dick walked past them, heading down the hallway to his room.In the beginning, after he had qualified as a full-fledged member, they were given the option of any room they wanted.Obviously, the room couldn’t be taken.It wasn’t about taking another’s room away from them.Big Dick had chosen this room, because he had thought it would be the best.It was close to the main floor of the clubhouse, which meant he didn’t have far to go to take pussy, nor kick them the fuck out.Now, he hated it.
Entering his room, he put the clothes in the laundry basket Ava had insisted they all have in their bedrooms, to make it easier for those cleaning to do the laundry.This was kind of implemented for Larissa as well.
Stepping toward the closet, he grabbed a pair of jeans, a shirt, and got dressed quickly.He was already dry just from the walk from the bathroom to his bedroom.
The music was playing in full swing.The hum echoed through the whole clubhouse.He used to love Halloween.Today, his only interest was attempting to catch sight of Larissa.All she wore was pants now.He’d not seen her in a dress since the incident.He missed those dresses.
He left his bedroom, closing and locking the door.There had been a couple of times that some of the club pussy attempted to get into his bedroom in order to surprise him.He wasn’t interested in any surprises.He wanted them all to leave him the fuck alone.
Walking into the main clubhouse, where he thought the guys were not going to dress up, he was wrong.They were all in residence tonight, but they were all dressed up.
Glancing across the main floor, he saw Smokey was dressed as a dead pirate, and on his arm was Ava, complete with a matching female pirate costume.Raven and Carlos were there, dead cheerleader along with dead jock, which was kind of funny, as Carlos was also in a wheelchair at this time.He was receiving physical therapy to help him gain use of his leg again.Vampires.Werewolves.Witches.Zombies.Movie characters, he assumed.He no longer watched a lot of television.He was the only one not dressed up.However, he did think it was cute that Harlow had decided to dress up as a potato.
Beside her was Larissa.And she stole his breath away.She looked like a fairy.Her hair was curled and fell around her in waves.She wore a long dress, a bright pink dress.She had glitter and wings, and she looked like every kid’s dream.She was perfect.
He stepped up close to Harlow.His sister gave him a corner-of-the-lips kind of smile.
This was the closest he’d been to Larissa since it happened.No one else would let her near.He hated that she tensed up the moment he got close.There was no reason for that.He was not going to hurt her.
But you did.You made that stupid fucked-up bet, and now you’re paying the price.
“A potato?That was what you decided to come as?”he asked.
“Well, this little snuggle puzzle is not letting me get much sleep.”She rubbed her stomach.“Besides, with how big I am, I feel like a sack of potatoes.Be pleased I haven’t worn a bunch of hessian fabric.”
“And you would still look cute,” Hunter said, coming in behind Harlow and kissing her cheek.Big Dick couldn’t help but be a little repulsed by the affection on display.That was, after all, his sister.There was only so much he could take.
Larissa had made her escape and went to the bar.
Harlow sighed.“She didn’t want to come.”
“Thank you for bringing her here.”
“Go easy on her, she’s not ...herself.”
Big Dick frowned and made his way toward Larissa.“Can we talk?”he asked.
