Unbelievable (Haven Falls 2)
Noah collapses onto the couch, looking mortified. I’m about to go to him when Tully comes tearing up the hallway. “It’s… it’s not what you think,” she demands, stepping in front of him and making his face scrunch up in disgust. “Noah…I,” her eyes flick to Aria before heading straight back to Noah. She cringes before lowering her voice to a near whisper. “I wasn’t flicking the… bean.”
“The fuck?” River grunts as Noah shakes his head, desperately trying to get whatever he saw out of his head.
Tully glances around, her face now bright red as the rest of us practically lean in, desperately wanting to hear what she’s got to say. “I…shit. Noah. I was inserting a tampon, not playing with myself.”
His eyes slice towards her before narrowing them on her. “You sure?”
“Of course, I’m fucking sure,” she grunts. “I get more than enough action to have to resort to playing with myself.”
Noah flies to his feet and within the blink of an eye, both Rivers and Noah are standing right in front of her, baring down, desperate for answers as she instantly realizes her mistake. “Who the fuck are you getting action from?” Rivers demands and Noah seems to be shaking with fury.
“I…I” Tully stutters out.
“Can we go to the beach already?” a whiny, impatient voice comes from behind us all, clearly seeing this conversation as a waste of time when she obviously has better things to be doing.
Tully steps away from the boys and towards Aria. “Of course, we can,” she says, looking back at the boys with her deathly scary glare. “Can’t we?”
Rivers grumbles under his breath before walking towards the front door and calling over his shoulder. “This isn’t over,” he tells her.
“It hasn’t even started,” she warns.
Oh shit.
Noah somehow manages to cool down and before I know it, the five of us are out the door and walking the ten minutes towards the beach, despite Aria’s whining because she has to walk. Though it’s not like it matters, she’s spent the whole walk sitting on top of Noah’s shoulders while Tully and Rivers have a heated argument behind us.
We stop in at the beach store and I laugh to myself as the first swimsuit I see is bright pink with a unicorn on the front. Freaking perfect.
We purchase it and I laugh to myself as Aria starts stripping down in the middle of the store, first making the boys blanch before they get all protective and start making a human barricade around her as I help her get it on as quickly as possible.
The second she’s dressed; she grabs my hand and Rivers and rushes for the beach, pulling us along as Tully’s left behind to search out where Aria threw her clothes.
We finally get our toes in the sand and Aria loses her little mind. The beach is packed with bodies but that doesn’t stop her from racing forward. Noah and Rivers pull off their shirts and hurry after her while Tully and I lay out a towel and make ourselves comfortable.
“Alright,” I tell her as the boys catch up with Aria and collect her before tossing her right into the cool water, making her scream out and start splashing to get them back. “Who the hell are you sleeping with?”
A sly grin cuts across her face as she turns as looks at me. “Nobody,” she tells me.
“Come on,” I prompt, not one to pass up a secret. “Don’t play that shit with me. What’s his name?”
“No, seriously,” she laughs. “It’s literally nobody. I’m not getting any action. My vag is a ghost town, it’s practically growing cobwebs.”
“What?” I laugh, seeing the honesty in her eyes. “Then what the hell was all that bullshit this morning?”
“Because watching Rivers squirm is my kind of porn.”
I shake my head. “You two seriously need to seal the deal.”
“I know,” she grunts. “And we would have long ago if it wasn’t for you getting wasted at a party and disappearing.”
“Are you seriously still holding that against me?”
“Uhhhh, yeah,” she scoffs. “I could have been in orgasm heaven by now. The second he touched me, he wouldn’t have been able to stop. I’m estimating hundreds of ‘gasms that I’ve missed out on. All because of your skank ass.”
“Bullshit. If you really wanted it to happen, you would have just gone and jumped him by now. You’ve had plenty of opportunities to do it. You guys are alone all the time and both of you are too pussy to make the move.”
“I…”
“What are you waiting for?”
“He’ll push me away,” she admits. “What if that happened? If I throw myself at him and he says no? Everything will change.”
I shake my head watching with adoration at the way the boys play with my sister. “I think you’re wrong. If Rivers was any other guy, then yeah, things would change. But not with him. He loves how things are here. If he said no, that wouldn’t change him being there every day, desperately wanting you.”
