Gifted Connections 3

“Blake,” Noah advanced towards me.

“I’m taking a dip,” I glared at him. “I’ll let you know when or if I want you to heal me.”

“Blake,” Jace growled low at me, but I turned and glared at him.

“Stay,” I compelled them both. They weren’t going to let me get further away otherwise.

Out of spite I turned and looked at them when I got to the water edge and started to strip. I could hear the others laughing and talking around the corner, hanging up their clothing. I tossed my cargo pants, thermal pants, thermal top, t-shirt, and sweatshirt off to the side. When I saw them both frozen where I left them, I raised my eyebrow.

I had planned to wear my sports bra and underwear in the water, but I wasn’t done punishing them. I knew it would drive them both wild if I decided to jump in naked. Not the most mature decision, but technically I wasn’t an adult for a few more days.

I removed my bra first and watched their eyes widened in surprise and lust. Then I slowly shimmied out of my underwear.

“Blake,” Troy had been laughing when he came around the corner but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the ending of my strip tease. “Are we skinny…dipping now?” His voice had grown husky.

“Yup,” I said defiantly. “Everyone’s invited except for those two.” I pointed an accusing finger at Jace and Noah.

“You don’t have to tell me twice,” Jaxson stated as he shucked off his boxers. Troy and he raced down to me.

“It feels amazing,” Jaxson stopped beside me. He smiled. His beautiful dimple appearing. “What did they do to piss you off?” he whispered quietly. His eyes dancing with mischief.

I still hadn’t made a move to move in further. “They were being slightly overbearing,” I whispered back.

“Blake Thomas, did you compel them?” Remy asked as he crossed his arms over his broad chest. He was down to his boxers as well.

Up until recently, he rarely went shirtless around me. Or around anyone that wasn’t family. He hated the scars on his back from his stepfather. I think t

he more comfortable he got with our connection, the more he dropped a lot of his natural walls.

“I did,” I said pertly. “Do you want to join them? Do you want to start telling me what I should do? What I should have done?”

Remy chuckled deeply and held up his hands. “I’m good. Joining you looks more fun.”

He removed his boxers and walked towards me. I tried not to let him catch me watching him. He was so sexy. They were all so sexy.

“Like what you see?” Remy asked with a wink.

I blushed but looked up at him with a smile. “Always.”

He growled something unintelligible before he dove into the water behind me.

“Drake,” I called out to him. “Want to join us?”

He ducked his head for a moment and looked at Noah and Jace, before joining us. However, my shy guy wouldn’t take his boxers off, no matter how many times I asked him to.

I had only been in the water for about five minutes before I started feeling remorseful about my behavior. I should have spoken up, and they wouldn’t be so overbearing if I had just communicated with them. They may have gone slightly overboard, but I deserved it. If they didn’t care so much about me, they wouldn’t have gotten upset.

I finally got out of the water and walked towards them, releasing my hold on them.

“I’m sorry,” I muttered. “I should have told you my feet hurt. I shouldn’t have gotten angry with you for caring about me.”

Jace bent down and pulled a towel from his pack. He went up behind me and placed over my shoulders. I should take you over my knee and spank you for your behavior and teasing me. He lightly bit my earlobe. Right before I slip into you. He telepathically spoke to me. Somehow, I think you’ll like that.

I turned to him as my eyes widened. You can’t. I said tartly. I already told Jax he could be the first to spank me.

His own eyes widened before his eyes darkened. I won’t tell if you don’t.

“Are you two finished?” Noah said dryly. He had been watching our exchange, and I’m sure he knew we were having a private conversation.
