I didn’t say anything. He grabbed my wrist and spotted bruises on them. “Where did those come from?” he asked.
“I don’t know” I said. But I felt the pain of my wrist. “What’s your name?” I asked him.
“Craig” he said. “Are you okay?” he began rubbing my wrist gently.
“Yeah” I said. “Ill be fine.” I stared at the bruises on my wrist. How did that happen I thought to myself?
“Cebastian doesn’t know his own strength. He has problems with trusting people. But from what I saw I think he trusts you very well. You’ll get used to him soon……” he wrapped his hands around my shoulders and let me rest my head against his shoulder. He didn’t make a move to kiss me. He just sat there, comforting me.
“Thank you” I said. “Why didn’t you kiss me?” I stared into his eyes.
“I figured you didn’t need it right now” he said. “You just needed to cry on someone’s shoulders.” He patted his shoulder. I rested my head against it. I felt safe. “But if you need a kiss now, I will give one to you.” He said. He pressed his lips against my cheek gently.
“I think we are going to be good friends” I said. I scooted into his lap and rested my head against his chest. I looked up at him. He had a shocked look on his face but he then smoothed it out. I rested my head against his chest again. He put his head on my back and wrapped his arm around me. There was a sudden knock at the door. I got up.
“Your eyeliners is smudged” he said. He licked his finger and began wiping at it. The sensation of his skin rubbing my eyelid was amazing. I shuddered.
“Mmmmm’” I said. “I love the way your skin feels. It so rough. It tickles my skin.” I giggled. I heard his deep chuckle. He pressed his lips against my neck. He was growing bolder. He moved his lips up my neck to my lips. Soon our lips were moving together. Then he pushed me away from him. He smiled gently. Then he opened the door. There was a boy there with medium length hair that had blonde and black streaks in it.
“Hi” he said. “My name is Cameron Arnold. Im josh and cebastian’s brother.” He sat down next to me on the floor. He wasn’t exactly good looking but there was some handsomeness in there. “I don’t really like kissing people.” He said. “You don’t mind if I don’t, do you?”
“It’s perfectly fine” I said. He just wrapped his arms around my shoulders and stayed like that. We talked for a while. Suddenly I felt his fingers roaming down my waist. “What are you doing?” I asked him.
“Nothing” he said. And pulls his hand away. But then he rested his head against my shoulder. I moved closer to him. I felt his tongue on my neck. I shuddered, it felt good. I let his lips roam wherever they wanted. They began moving towards my breasts. He lifted my shirt up to expose my stomach only. I lay down on the floor for him. His lips skimmed over my stomach. Suddenly there was a knock on the door. He pulled my shirt down and then got up and grabbed my arm and pulled me up. Then he pulled the door open. Finally Eli came in. he shut the door behind him and wrapped his arms around my waist. I struggled to breath. His hands were wrapped around me tightly. His lips moved against mine in barely a whisper. I lost my breath altogether. Then he got up and left the room. There was another knock at the door. I opened it. It just happened to be josh again.
“Do I get another turn?” he asked. But didn’t wait for me to answer he just walked in and shut the door.
I remembered cebastians warning. “Really josh. I said. “Why again?”
“Oh I see” he said. “Cebastain talked to you. Didn’t he?” he sat down on the floor. “And you listened? Why on earth would you listen to him? He’s just jealous because he knows we have a closer bond.”
“Yeah maybe he is.” I said still doubting his words. I sat down next to him cautiously. Suddenly his lips were against my neck. There was a slight scraping. “You have a piercing in your lip.” I turned towards him.
“Yeah” he said. I also have a few in my ears and I have a couple tattoos.” He pulled up his sleeve and exposed it. It looked like a Japanese symbol. I reached my fingers out to touch it. I became fascinated with the texture of his skin. It was an interesting combination of rough and smooth. His scent was alluring also. I found I couldn’t keep my hands off of him. I looked up at his face suddenly it seemed so sweet in an offset sort of way. It surprised me.
“Where are your friends?” I asked him. I was still looking at his face.
“They went home.” He said. “We are here all alone.” He smiled mischievously.
I playfully punched him in the shoulder. “You little devil” I said. “I should have known you would have done that to me.” I rested my head against his chest and looked up at him. “It’s getting kind of cramped in this closet.” I said “how about we go somewhere cozier? Maybe my bedroom?” I saw his eyes light up.
“That’s sounds great.” He said. He scooped me up in his arms. Then he opened up the closet door.
“Josh” I said. “You don’t even know where it is.” I giggled uncontrollably.
“Well tell me where it is then” he chuckled. Then put me down on the ground.
“Upstairs third door on the left” I said. Then suddenly my feet left the ground. “Oh not again.” I said but allowed myself to be carried to the room.
He carried me up the stairs I almost hit my head. Finally he found the room. He set me down and then opened the door. “A little girly for my taste” he said. We walked over to the bed. I sat down next to him. “What do you want to do?” he asked. He placed his hand on the nape of my neck. I froze. Then I remembered cebastains words. But before I could say anything he pulled me to him. I felt his lips against mine. There was an animal look in his eyes. Something wasn’t right. I pushed the thought out of my head. After a year of sulking over Jonathan maybe this is what I wanted. Maybe I needed somebody to love. But I knew this love would be far different than when I was dating Jonathan. It would be wild. I pressed my body against josh’s body in hope of bringing more lust out of him. It worked he pushed me down against the bed. Perhaps it worked a little to well. He cupped his hands against my breasts. I struggled to breath under his weight. “Let’s go somewhere else” he said. “To the park, there’s a fountain. And a lake near there.”
“Okay” I said. “Lets go. Do you want me to bring my bathing suit?”
“You can if you want but you won’t be needing it” he chuckled. “Your mom will be away for a while she’s at robins house. Well leave a note on the counter. It will say you are camping with your new friend Michelle. It will take care of everything. “He said. “But we are going camping anyway. So lets get you packing.” He walked to the closet and threw closes into a suitcase nearby. He grabbed my bathing suit. He put his nose against it and inhaled deeply. Then he threw it into the suitcase.
“Josh” I said. “We can’t do this.” What about cebastian we are going to have to get someone else to come with us?
“Fine” he said. “Cebastains and Cameron can come with him.” He said angrily. “We have tents at our house. Let’s go get them” he zipped up the suitcase. And then he pulled it and me downstairs.
“Will your mother care?” I asked him. His face became sullen “what’s wrong?” I asked him.
“My mom and dad died in a car accident two years ago” he said. My brothers and I were the only ones who survived. Our sister died. Look if you want to have safe sex just tell me. I have condoms.” His mood changed from sad to happy again.
“That would be okay” I said. “Im just trying to be careful.” I placed my hand on his chest.
“Okay” he said. “Let’s go to my house” he pulled me out the door. We got into my car and he directed me to his house. When we got there, he talked cebastian into coming with us. He also got Cameron. When they finally packed their suitcases and we got the tents and went to the park.
Chapter 5
We had set up the tent and were eating dinner. Cebastain and Cameron were whispering to each other and staring at josh’s hand and mine. They were adjoined. Were they mad? I couldn’t bear to think of it. We were such good friends.
I realized that josh had finished his dinner. I wasn’t hungry anymore. He whispered in my ear. “Let’s go in tent” I got up and followed him inside.
“I think cebastain and Cameron are jealous” I giggled. Then I pressed my hand against his chest. “Do you want to take off your shirt?” I asked him. It’s really hot in here.” I grabbed the bottom of his shirt and gently began pulling it off.
“Not yet” he chuckled “we have to blow up the airbed.” He took a large box from the corner of the room. He took the bed out of the box and attached the pump to blow it up. We waited silently until it inflated.
A few minutes later it finally inflated. I laid down on the bed. He grabbed a small box from his suit case and turned away from me. I knew what he was doing. I waited patiently for him to finish. Finally he turned towards me. He laid down next to me. “You sure you want to do this?” he asked me politely.
“Can we wait a little while?” I asked. “I----- I don’t think im ready yet.”
“Okay” he said. “We will wait.” He scooted up next to me. I rested my head against his chest. He seemed content to just lay there. Suddenly the door of the tent opened. It was cebastian and Cameron.
“Do you mind if we come in?” they asked. I saw cebastain look at me. He looked angry. I sat up. Josh looked at me curiously. Then he looked at cebastain.
“No not at all.” He said chidingly. “Just come on in. there is plenty of room.” They walked into the tent and sat down on the bed. Cebastain sat next to me and got really close.
“Need a shoulder babe?” he whispered to me. Josh must have heard because he glared at cebastain.
“No thanks” I said. “I already have one.” I rested my head against josh shoulder. Josh grinned at his brother mischievously. Cebastain’s stare was cold. He stood up. Then he stormed out of the tent.
“That was interesting” Cameron said. “It was hilarious” he grinned at josh. “Cebastain’s always had a short temper, but who knew he could be that jealous.” He smacked josh on the back playfully. “Good job josh.” You not
