Jeff moved to punch his brother when his dad came out with a tray of drinks. “Cool it boys, stop trying to show off for the ladies. Let’s have a drink and see if we can get that hot tub fired up; I am going to need it after that game today. I am getting too old for this.”
Jared pulled a chair in beside Suzie and leaned on her. Shifting in his seat, he groaned and grabbed his shoulder.
“Are you alright?” Suzie asked. “Here, let me rub it.”
“Oh, sweetie please,” Jared said eagerly, then told the rest of the family. “Suzie used to be a massage therapist and she gives an amazing massage.”
Releasing the knot of tension in Jared’s shoulders, Suzie talked to his family about her career change and finding her passion in graphic design. They were eager to ask her questions until she was ready to change the subject and asked about them. Eventually the Tiefson boys finished their drinks and went to tackle the hot tub. They insisted their dad sit back and they could handle it.
“Fine with me, it will be you guys in there tonight. It will be an early night for me.” He smiled happily at his sons.
“And me,” Helen said. “The girls and I had an exciting day.”
Once again, Candy and Suzie looked at each other and smiled watching the four brothers get the hot tub up and running. Jason was on dad duty that night. Shortly after starting, Johnny left the group and went in. He had a date lined up and, despite cajoling from his brothers, refused to bring her to the cabin. Finally the hot tub was ready and fille
d, and they just had to wait for it to heat up. Jeff insisted a bottle of wine would help speed things along and by then, Suzie felt more than a little tipsy.
“You did not tell me we would be drinking so much,” she whispered to Jared when he returned to the chair beside her. “I am on my way to being inappropriately drunk.”
“You are fine.” Jared laughed and kissed her cheek. “Besides,” he whispered. “I think Candy is already there.”
They watched as Candy walked towards Jeff and Jeremy who were talking near the hot tub. Still in her five inch heels, she tripped, stumbled and laughed. When she reached them, she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend and kissed him, grinding against his groin. Unfortunately, it was Jeremy, not Jeff and he quickly pushed her away, towards Jeff.
“What the hell!” Tracey exclaimed, looking from her husband to Candy.
“Sorry,” Candy giggled. “All these brothers kind of look the same.” She lurched forward and wavered on her feet. Jeff caught her arm and his eyes darkened. He told her he was taking her to bed.
As he guided her in, Tracey announced she was going to bed and Jeremy went with her. Jared turned to Suzie and pulled her chair close to his.
“That’s my family,” he laughed. “And believe it or not, that is not the first time one of Jeff’s girlfriends has kissed one of the brothers. Different girl, different brother. He sure knows how to pick them.”
Suzie laughed and held Jared’s hand. Night was settling in and it was getting cold. Jared kissed Suzie soft and slow, holding her gently. Rocking her body into his he continued a long kiss, his tongue teasingly slow in her mouth. A tingling feeling filled her and Suzie wanted him to pick her up and take her right there on the deck, but that was not Jared’s style. He slowly caressed her, treating her like a delicate object. Suzie clung to him for warmth and tried to slow her desperate passion.
The door opened and footsteps sounded on the deck, walking toward them. Plugging in patio lanterns, Jeff’s mischievous grin was lit up in blue and silver lighting. “You two at it again. Can’t say I blame you bro, if she were mine she would be naked all the time.”
“Back off BRO.” Jared got up quickly stepping towards his brother angrily. “You have been asking for it since we got here. Keep your eyes off Suzie and your opinions to yourself. Shouldn’t you be downstairs with Candy?”
Jeff stepped forward so the twins were almost chest to chest. “Chill man. You know I will say what I want. It’s a compliment, Suzie is hot. Candy, well she passed out plus since she met you, all I hear non-stop is that I should be more like you. Seems she fancies your pretty boy hair and clothes. Want to switch?”
Knowing his brother was talking about switching girls, Jared punched him. Jeff blocked the punch and pulled Jared into a bear hug. They wrestled with each other for a while and Suzie sat not knowing what to do and too drunk to do anything. She felt out of her element.
Jason opened the door and hissed at his brothers. “My kids just fell asleep and if you wake them up with your bullshit, I will kick both your asses.”
The twins stopped wrestling and looked at their older brother. Jeff encouraged Jason to bring it on. In response, Jason threw a beer at him and Jeff caught it and sat down. Jared still stood, hands on hips looking pissed.
“You know he is going to say whatever he can to get you riled up,” Jason told Jared. He walked over and handed a beer to Jared and sat down. Then he noticed Suzie sitting there and smiled. “Still fighting over girls are you?”
“No I was about to teach Jeff some manners,” Jared insisted moving to get up again.
“Ok chill already,” Jason said. “You two are worse than my kids and I am all done parenting for the day.”
Jason finished his beer quickly, then went and grabbed two more beers from the in-deck bar fridge. He passed one to Suzie asking, “What do you make of all this?”
“Another crisis averted by beer?” Suzie said. Pleased with her quick response she cracked her beer and took a drink.
“Should you be drinking beer after drinking wine all day?” Jared asked. “You must be tired; maybe we should go to bed.” At the second remark, both brothers laughed.
“I am all good,” Suzie slurred, instigating a laugh out of all three brothers. “Plus, after all that aren’t we going to try out the hot tub?”
