Twisted (12 page)

Edwin took one step into the room and plunked my bags to the
floor, snapping my attention from the bed.  A sexual charge heated the room and
with him blocking the door, it suddenly felt like especially tight quarters.  He
turned away from me and leaned out the door.           "Your bags are in
the trunk.  Close it when you’re finished," he said to Maddie.  He swung
back around to face me, brandishing a wickedly sexy smile.  He slammed the door
shut and locked it securely behind his back, not removing his eyes from mine.

After glancing out the side window at the lush, green forest,
I dropped myself backward onto the fresh, fluffy bed, eyes closed to hide from
Edwin’s heated stare.  Reveling in the relaxed atmosphere, in the confines of
my temporarily private room, I stretched my arms over my head and took a deep
breath.

At last, I found one downfall of the place.  The walls were
paper thin.  I heard every angry slur Maddie made about Edwin's rudeness.  I
giggled softly, in my uninterrupted oasis.  "So, what do you think?"
I asked.

Edwin made his stealthy approach.  "I think it's
perfect," he said, his voice deep and serious.  "I think you’re
perfect.”  He drew his knee onto the bed and locked his darkened blue eyes on mine. 
“And I think this is the perfect time to see if this bed can hold up to our
high standards."  He raised his arched eyebrows, his eyes full of promise,
and crawled onto the bed like a savage animal, aggressive and hungry.

Frozen on the bed beneath him, my emotions swayed between
exhilaration and anxiety.  He hovered over me, waiting for me to give in.  I
locked my eyes shut, but his body continued to call my name.  When Edwin’s lips
hooked onto mine, wild and ravenous, I whimpered for more.  The delicious
pressure of his hard, heavy body, rocking against me only intensified every
flick of his tongue.  Floating among the fluffy clouds, Edwin’s firm, possessive
hold on me threatened to steal my only connection to reality.

I heard a woman's faint cry of desire.  The sound was coming
from my room.  I abruptly opened my eyes and Edwin lifted up as I froze in a state
of panic, until I realized that cry was my own.  Still fiercely clung to Edwin,
he smiled at me, amused.  I released his shoulders and dropped to the bed.

"You realize I can here you in there," Maddie hollered.

After a moment of silence, staring into each other’s eyes, we
both broke into an uncontrollable laughter.  It felt like we had gotten caught
by my mother and were being warned to stop before she came in and made us.  I
wasn't even sure that Maddie knew what she thought she heard, because aside
from my soft, desperate cry for more, we weren't saying anything at all.

I covered my face with my hands.  "I'm sorry.  But I
don't think Aliah would appreciate it very much if we did the dirty in her
bed."

"If we don't now, it's only a matter of time before we
do,” Edwin said.  “Would you rather Aliah and Hunter break the bed in
first?"

“Ugh,” I groaned, fighting the urge to rip off his clothes.  I
bunched his shirt in one hand and pulled hard until he was on top of me bracing
himself for a one long, delicious kiss.  Before his roaming tongue could
convince me to stay, I shoved him off of me and leapt from the bed, prowling
toward the door.

"You can blame me," he pleaded desperately.

"Oh, I will.  Let's go check out your place.  You should
get there first so you can claim the King."  The truth was we needed
privacy, and fast.  I flashed a look at Edwin, then blasted out of the room into
the common area.  I walked straight out the exterior door leaving it wide open.

Predictably, Edwin jogged out of the cabin after me.

EDWIN
FLUNG THE DOOR open and I stepped inside his cabin, curious and amazed.  My
mouth dropped open. 
Wow!
  The ladies definitely got shortchanged in
this deal.  Edwin only smiled and nodded, taking it all in with me.

The suite was fit for a honeymoon, much more elegant than I
expected for a friendly weekend retreat.  The room was complete with a wood
burning fireplace, Jacuzzi tub, modern décor and panoramic views of the forest
and lakeside.  The windows were trimmed with wispy transparent drapes that
fluttered delicately in the warm breeze.  I lost myself in the whimsical
atmosphere, without noticing that Edwin was admiring me while I admired the
space.

He closed the door and locked the deadbolt.  "You
realize I have both of the keys right?" he asked in a deep, growling
voice.  He approached me, slow and deliberate, but I didn’t dare turn around. 
His big hands landed on my hips and skimmed up my waist, dragging my shirt up
with them.  He tugged me back against him and I could feel his fierce erection
pressed against the small of my back.

"What are you getting at?" I whispered, trying not
to squirm like a school girl.

His fingers brushed the hair from my shoulder and his lips
caressed my neck.  "While I can appreciate your morals - and I do, don't
get me wrong - I need you.”

My mind wandered, as Edwin swept me up into his arms and effortlessly
lowered me onto the oversized bed.  Edwin stood over me a sensual grin on his
face, before he lowered himself on top of me.  Our lips locked and our bodies
moulded together.  Edwin's hands were touching me everywhere, as he scrambled
to kick off his shoes.

Edwin rolled me on top of him until I pinned his solid body
to the bed.  Knees spread wide, I ran my hands under his shirt, exposing his
full chiseled abs.  His eyes were closed but that didn’t cool the wave of
urgency flooding me.  I lifted his shirt over his head eager to uncover his entire
body.  I flattened my palms on his firm, bare chest.

"So, what do you say?"  I pressed myself against
the crowded bulge in his pants.

He moaned, and not hesitating for another breath, "Yes!"

Amused with his impatience, I slowly, lightly circled my
tongue around his nipple, before closing my mouth over it.  My hand found him
through his pants and he grunted again, raring to go.  After working open the
button on his pants, I slowly eased down his zipper.  I slipped my cool hand in
his pants and wrapped my fingers around him, only a thin veil of fabric
separating our skin.

"How would you like it?" I whispered, squeezing
tighter.

A bead of moisture soaked his shorts and a muffled groan
sounded from his throat as I pulled him free.  I twisted my grip and stroked
his length, not that he needed any more foreplay.  He was ready to go.

Before I knew what hit me, Edwin had me flat on my back, stripped
of my summer clothes.  “Off,” he said, reaching for the snap on my bra.

When I wiggled free from it, I was completely naked.  So was
he, like a naked statue only bigger and stronger and real.  He pressed his firm
erection against my soft inner-thigh and frantically dropped wet kisses all
over me, until I didn’t know which way was up.  When he glided over top of me,
every nerve ending sparked alive.  The urge to have him inside me was pulsing
at high capacity.  My legs trembled with anticipation.

“Now,” I begged, arching my back and bucking against him.

When Edwin’s mouth reached mine, he slid over me again,
taunting, tempting my pleasure.  My intuition begged me to open my eyes.  I
refused.  Focusing on the thrilling energy swirling around us, and the wet
tension between my thighs, I refused to be drawn back to reality.  Edwin’s
tongue slipped inside my mouth and his lips muffled my moan as he dipped toward
me.

That’s when I heard it.  Again.  This time it startled me
enough to break me from my sexual daze.  I tried to push Edwin off of me, but
failed miserably.  Wanting to scream, ready to cry, I sat up as best I could
and froze against his hot, hard body.

"Did I hurt you?" he asked.

"No!  Shh!" I said, listening carefully.

Two seconds of stillness was all it took to confirm that we
were no longer alone. 
There was someone outside the cabin.

"Aww man!  What’s it gonna take to get laid around
here?" Edwin grumbled, slamming his fist on the soft bed.

I pulled myself free from him and hurriedly collected my
clothes.  "Ditto,” I said, equally as frustrated.  “I'll get you
later," I promised, as I attempted to refasten my bra.  I swiftly pulled
on my clothes and checked myself in the mirror.  After straightening my tousled
hair, I paced to the window and pulled aside the dainty fabric that hardly
covered it.  Just as I had suspected, TJ's burnt orange Wrangler was parked
next to my car.

Aliah and Hunter were standing next to the jeep, while TJ
locked it up.  Aliah immediately caught a glimpse of me through the window and
hollered out, waving hysterically.  "Hey girl.  We made it!"

I dropped the panel and headed for the door.  Edwin followed
behind me with his shirt in hand.

"Nice timing guys," he hollered sarcastically,
slamming the door shut behind him.

"Ohhh!" TJ hollered back, bumbling around and
acknowledging Edwin’s sexual frustration.

I rolled my eyes at them both and shook my head in
annoyance.  There would be more of that over the course of the weekend, I’m
sure.

The bright sunlight was already starting to fade to a light
glow, as the sun began to set in the sky.  TJ and Hunter pulled out their bags
and headed for the cabin, shoving and tripping each other, trying to get to the
cabin first.

"You're outta luck brothers!  You get your choice of the
cot, couch or floor.  I already called the King," Edwin hollered, laughing
at them as he grabbed his bag from my trunk.  "If you were a few minutes
later, I would have christened it too," he announced, mostly crabbing to himself. 
He dropped my keys into my hand and dropped a peck on my cheek, before
following TJ inside.

"You coming or what?" Aliah called out, half way up
the path to the ladies cabin.

“Be there in a sec,” I said, appreciating the well-groomed flowering
gardens, and the full green bushes.

The birds chirped as I gazed over the panoramic views and
took in the fluffy clouds bouncing in the bright blue sky.  It was breathtaking. 
The trip of the year for sure.  After taking in a good breath of fresh air, I
happily strolled up the path.  I caught Edwin peeking out the window at me and
I wiggled my fingers at him, with a super feminine wave.  He flashed me a
handsome smile and then disappeared behind the whimsical drapes.

I hurried up the flagstone path, unable to avoid the excitement
welling up inside me.  I turned the door knob and let myself inside.  Aliah was
sitting on the sofa, rummaging through her bag.  I cheerily planted myself
snuggly next to her and reached my arm over her shoulder, as she proceeded to
tell me about their drive up to the Southwind.  After her long-winded
explanation, mostly about Hunter’s bulging biceps, dark eyes and dimpled smile,
I quickly changed the subject.

"So what's the plan for tonight ladies?" I asked,
as I released her neck from my playful grip.

"You’re in a good mood,” Aliah said smirking.

Maddie plowed into the room, physically demanding our immediate
attention.  "How do I look?" she asked, as she pranced around in a
cute little summer dress like she was a model.  "I got it for
Hunter."

 "You wasted your money then," Aliah growled.

"Oh boy.  This is going to be a fun weekend," I
said smiling.  There was no need to fight now, there’d be plenty of time for
that later, but it didn’t stop Aliah from scowling at Maddie.

"I'm thinking maybe we should just settle in tonight;
hang out here," I suggested.

Maddie nodded in agreement.  “That’s cool.”

"I like it.  That way I can set Maddie straight,"
Aliah said.

"What?" Maddie said, as if she didn't know why Aliah
was scowling at her.

We all three froze momentarily and stood there listening to
the menacing silence, until a muffled hoot and holler came from next door.

Aliah hooked onto my arm and pulled me off the couch. 
"Hear that?"

"It sounds like the guys are starting without us,"
I said, nodding.  “Let's go see what they're up to."

"I'm coming too," Maddie shrieked.

"Whatever," Aliah called back rudely, walking
straight for the door, our arms still linked together.

"Oh Ally.  Can't you two get along for like two seconds?”
      “Not likely.”

“You're making this harder than it has to be.  Why don't you
let Hunter decide who he wants?  Did you ever think of that?"

"Hah!  That's suggesting Maddison has a shot up against
me.  Not a chance in hell," Aliah said, cold and confident.

As we approached the guys' place, I could hardly hear the
loud music over their roars of laughter and ridiculous arguments.  I skipped
passed Aliah and lightly tapped on the door.  Surprise.  No answer.  So I let
us right in.

They didn’t even hear me, but it took two short seconds
before they realized that the ladies were in the house.  Every one of them
froze as I stepped into the roomy oasis.  Edwin flashed me a heavenly smile.

"Carry on," Aliah announced, taking a seat on the
floor next to Hunter.  "You're hitting the booze already?"
