He rolled his eyes in a very delightful way, almost shy-like. "Yeah, we went through some…shit a while back. It's all good now, but we needed to bring things out into the open to build up our trust in one another. Eli had never told me that he had been married—very briefly—the summer before he went to college. Shocked the hell out of me," he said, shaking his head.
"So, why do you say he's a closet bi?"
I mean, what the hell? I'd heard of closet gays, but I pretty much thought bisexuals were out with it, if they went both ways like that.
"Well, although he finds members of both genders sexually appealing, he's made a choice to have only one sexual preference at the moment. He said chicks are too high-maintenance," he finished, giving me a cocky smile.
Oh. What. Ever.
"As if anyone would ever categorize Eli as being low maintenance," I scoffed absently.
This brought a smile from Cain as he stepped forward, drawing me into his arms. His hand gently brushed through my hair, and I felt his full lips graze my forehead, as I relaxed into his warm embrace. It was comforting and it felt right for some reason.
"All I want to tell you, Paige, is to stop hiding behind your dual facades," he murmured. "If you stop doing things for attention, and you start being who you're meant to be, I think your need for romance and commitment will be satisfied. Sometimes, it's right there in front of you."
He gave me a peck on the cheek, and released me from his grasp. "Now, come on, babe. We have a wedding cake to start slicing."
I watched him as I trailed behind him, feeling a warm, fluttery feeling in the pit of my belly as I contemplated his words.
'Sometimes it's right there in front of you…'
Was there some hidden meaning in his words, or was I simply reading too much into his kindness and concern?
I would never do anything to hurt Eli, no matter how close Cain and I had become over the past couple of months. And then again, what had Cain meant when he said that Eli was 'more than fine with it'? Did that mean that Eli…?
Too many questions; too few answers. I was totally confused. I needed to hook up. I knew exactly what was going to be on my agenda tonight.
chapter 8
"That's it, baby. Good girl. Take it all."
I squeezed my eyes shut tightly, as Travis buried his long, thick, sheathed cock into me, backed out, and then plunged it in again deeply, grunting his pleasure.
Travis?
Maybe his name is actually Trevor…what the fuck. Who cares?
"Does it feel good, baby? Do you like the feel of Trevor's cock ramming into your pussy like this, huh?"
It's Trevor…right. Random Trevor, referring to himself in the third person. Lovely.
"Yeah, baby," I murmured. "You're the fucking best," I lied, wishing he'd get his nut, because I sure as hell wasn't going to get mine with this ass-hat.
The problem was, he totally had a Bud-Lite hard-on going, and I knew that meant it would be a while before he came.
"That's right, baby," he whispered, groaning and smothering my lips with wet, beer-flavored kisses. "You're going to scream when Trevor makes you come."
Seriously?
Aannd…that's a wrap.
"Get the fuck off of me," I finally said, before clamping my mouth shut and turning my head away from him. "Now," I said, louder.
He stopped his thrusting momentarily, as if my words weren't totally registering in his drunken brain. He didn't pull out of me though, and I was getting really pissed.
"Did you hear me?" I yelled, using my hands to push against his chest, trying to get his long, muscular frame off of me.
"What the fuck?" he asked, loudly. "I ain't goin' nowhere just yet," he remarked, shifting his weight so that my hands were smashed between the both of us as he continued humping me.
