Gifted Connections 4

I would be lying if I didn’t say it bothered me slightly. I didn’t want to sit for two hours seeing the girl he briefly hooked up with. The reality was, though, I knew it didn’t matter. He was mine now.

“I don’t understand why you felt the need to get the movie. Is it even good?” Remy stated as he sat down next to me on the love seat.

“We all have a past,” Sierra said with a slight frown. Gavin cleared his throat, and she gave him a look full of love. “Well, most of us do. Were you trying to hurt Blake, or were you still mad at Troy for not allowing you to go on this trip?”

“Did Gavin ask you for the list of all your past hookups?” I asked, slightly hurt and angry at her. I really didn’t see why she was behaving this way. Jemmy seemed to be acting out a lot lately. “No, he didn’t, because he doesn’t care to know either,” I added.

Bright tears glistened in her eyes. “I wasn’t trying to be vindictive. I just thought it was kind of funny. She was a B-rated actress, and no one knew who she was. She stalked him for months. Now she got all this work done, and I wanted to show him how she looked now.”

“Why does it matter?” Troy inquired as he pulled me up gently. “I’m happy right where I’m at. I don’t care what Eva looks like now.”

I stood up on my tip toes and gave him a gentle kiss. I didn’t relish the idea of seeing his ex for the next two hours, but I also knew he was mine. Their past was bound to come up from time to time. It was inevitable. Jemmy was struggling with something, and I didn’t think it all had to do with this trip to California.

“We don’t have to watch it,” Jemmy pouted as she crossed her arms over her chest.

“Might as well push play,” Jaxson said cheerily as he bit into a cookie. At least he thought Jemmy’s actions were amusing. No one else seemed to.

Troy sat down next to Remy, pulling me into his lap. “What?” He gave Remy a lopsided smile. “I know you’re spending the night with her, let me have her for a little bit.”

Remy sighed but nodded.

Jaxson pushed play, and I drew my blanket over my legs.

Troy immediately pushed his hands under my shirt and started to caress the skin above my hips. My skin jumped at his touch. I refrained from sighing as I leaned back into him.

He began to kiss me, lingeringly along the nape of my neck. I arched slightly when he found the spot that got me every time. His lips were warm and sensuous. His other hand found their way under my shirt again and cupped my braless breasts, one at a time. His fingers found my nipples and started to trace them. They instantly reacted and got hard.

“Do you want me to make you come?” he murmured in my ear. I was thankful that our surround sound system was so loud that regular conversations couldn’t be heard.

The idea of him making me come in a room full of people was strangely erotic. Part of me wanted to tell him no, but the other part wanted me to nod and allow him to do whatever he wanted to do to me.

I was about to nod when I looked up at the television screen. One of the main characters was on. She was a tall, lithe blonde; her make-up was low key and not nearly as heavily done as I had seen her in the past. In fact, the role she was playing was a waitress at a diner. She was purposely made to look like the girl next door. Her uniform hid her well-endowed breasts rather well.

“That’s her!” I exclaimed in shock.

Troy stiffened as he looked up with a heavy sigh. “Yeah, that’s Eva.”

“No! No!” I hastily said. “She’s the girl I’ve seen in my jumps.”

“No effin way,” Jemmy said with a cookie up to her mouth.

“But she was the girl I showed you in the magazine,” Jaxson said in confusion.

“I barely looked at it,” I admitted guiltily. “I just saw a brunette with…well, small breasts.”

Noah chuckled. “She really has had a lot of work done. With the blonde hair, larger boobs, and lip injections, I can see how I wouldn’t recognize her, and I’ve met her.”

“You more than met her,” Jemmy shot him a sly look.

“Really Jemmy?” Gavin said with a resigned sigh.

She immediately looked guilty. “Sorry,” she muttered.

“Okay, who in this room hasn’t slept with her?” I asked with a deep sigh. “It’s going to be awkward enough knowing she’s with Otto and hooked up with you two as well when I meet her.”

“Just us,” Noah muttered shooting Jemmy a glare.

I sighed rubbing my eyes. “Do any of you still have her number?”
