     I always thought if I had the opportunity to be with her that it would be in my bed where we would explore each other’s bodies and bring each other to multiple orgasms. I hope I haven’t blown that chance and scared her away by moving too fast. This experience has shown me she has an adventurous side to her, one that I would love to explore. I’m just wondering how I’m supposed to sit across from her at dinner tonight and carry
on with a conversation, when all I will be thinking about is the sight of her naked body and the taste of her sweet nectar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter Seven

 

 

    I rush back to the lounge hoping Courtney isn’t there yet. I need a moment to compose myself and gather my thoughts. No such luck, she’s sitting there waiting for me, fully dressed with a big grin on her face. “What are you smiling about? You are so devious! I should be pissed off at you right now. How long have you known?”

     “Should be pissed off, as in you’re not? Kylie, I wanted to make your reunion with Cameron special for the both of you, you deserve to be happy. My brother has been in love with you almost his entire life. I’m not trying to push you, yet there’s no one else I would be happier to see him with. Go get dressed; we’ll talk more before dinner. Just don’t be mad.”

    
Mad! She just provided me with the best and most erotic afternoon I have ever experienced. How could I be mad? I wonder how long she has known, I’m going to find out, even if I have to beat it out of her. All this time I was so worried about asking questions about him and she knew we had a past. I really should kill both of them. Obviously, he was in on the whole scheme. 

     As I’
m getting dressed, I hear some muffled mumbling out in the lounge. Courtney whispers, “No, she seems okay, I don’t think she’s too mad at us. So, was it everything you hoped for?”

     “It was b
etter than I ever imagined, I owe you one Courtney. No! I owe you more than one favor for this,” Cameron says in his husky voice.

    
“Really? What exactly happened in there Cam? Kylie did have quite a dazed look on her face when she came into the lounge. She seemed very pleased with her massage. She got more than an hour considering we went in at the same time. I had gotten dressed and been waiting a good ten minutes,” Courtney interrogates Cameron.

     Frustrated,
I yell, “GUYS! I can hear every damn word you two are saying. I’m coming out now, so Courtney stop badgering your brother.”

     As I walk out, I can see them look at each other
, then to me. Cameron opens his arms and so does Courtney. I step in and the three of us stand there hugging just like the old days. Both of them lean in and they each kiss one of my cheeks. Almost simultaneously they say, “Together again.” How do twins do that? Say the same thing at the same time, it can be somewhat eerie. 

     Cameron lets
go first and looks to Courtney. “I have a new friend that I invited to join us for dinner tonight.  I hope neither of you mind? I’m thinking about letting him rent the other room in my condo. I want the two of you to meet him and see if you think he’s trustworthy. Besides, I think he might be your type Courtney. If he’s there to occupy you tonight, I might actually get to talk to Kylie.”

    
We all leave taking separate cars back to the condominium. Courtney and I go to our rooms and change into our outfits we picked out special for tonight. I’m wearing a slinky short black dress with a plunging neckline and little spaghetti straps. I bought a hot pair of strappy black four-inch heels that make my calves look fabulous. I’m not as nervous about wearing high heels tonight. We will be sitting at a dinner table and not doing a lot of walking. I finish my look with a simple necklace and a few squirts of some alluring perfume. Getting ready to go out is a lot easier when my hair and makeup have already been professionally done. Courtney comes strutting out of her room in a sinfully tight red dress and red stilettos, looking fabulous with her new stylish haircut. She gives herself a little spin. “What do you think, too much?” 

     “I think whoever this guy is that Cameron is bri
nging, he doesn’t stand a chance. You look terrific.”

     “Well
, I hope this guy isn’t some geek. Cameron’s idea of perfect man for his sister is a bit different than my idea of a perfect man.”

     With a questioning glare, I ask, “Speaking of perfect men, your brother turned out incredibly sexy. How long have you known Cameron
and I had feelings for each other?”

     Biting her lip, she answers,
“Since about a month after we moved. He was so depressed and I kept after him to tell me what was wrong. Seemed like more than just moving. He finally confessed that he loved you. I thought it was just a teen thing, something he would get over in time. His moods made sense after he told me he was heartbroken. Lately, he will date someone for a while and then lose interest; it never works out for him. He said you ruined the opportunity of any other woman ever having a chance at his heart and that no one could ever replace you. He has been so excited to see you; it’s like a completely new Cameron. I can see how good you are going to be for him.”

     The doorbell rings and Courtney jumps up to answer it. I suddenly feel self-conscious about
what I’m wearing at least until Cameron enters the room and we just stare at each other. He’s dressed in black trousers that hug his ass so nicely, a black shirt with the faintest stripes and the top button casually undone. I feel myself start to get a warm sensation in the pit of my stomach. He is so damn sexy; I could just skip dinner and pull him across the hall into his bedroom. He walks towards me and grabs my hand, spins me around and whistles. A bit embarrassed I start to blush. “You are one fine woman Kylie, and I’m one lucky son of a bitch to be able to take you to dinner.”

     Clearing her throat, “If you two are about done undressing each other with your
eyes, could we please go eat, I’m starving?”

     We
take the elevator down to the parking garage and get in Cameron’s souped up Camaro; the car and the man are smoking hot. We arrive at the restaurant about ten minutes early and the mystery man is nowhere in sight. The table Cameron reserved is ready, so we are seated immediately. Cameron asks the host to please show his guest to the table when he arrives. She gives him a slight nod and walks away. Courtney seems to be pouting a bit considering that her mysterious man hasn’t arrived. Cameron gives her a puzzled look, “Relax Courtney! We’re early, don’t worry he will be here shortly. I told him my sister was a knock out so he’ll be here.”

    
Courtney is sitting with her back to the entrance and doesn’t see the man approaching our table. My eyes go wide with the realization of who Courtney’s dinner date is. I give her a swift kick under the table as a warning. “What?” she asks.

     “Mr. Volleyball,” I say
, pointing.

     Cameron gives us both a questioning look,
“Mr. Who?”

     “
You have got to be kidding, where?” Courtney asks, getting excited.

     “He’s a
bout two steps behind you and coming to our table,” I quickly inform her before he arrives.

     Courtney turns to look just as he approaches our table
; the look on her face is priceless. I’m surprised; Mr. Volleyball cleans up pretty well. He has on a pair of tight black jeans that fit impressively well and a simple black polo shirt that shows off the massive muscles in his arms. Cameron stands up to shake his hand and motions for him to take the seat next to Courtney. I really hope Courtney shuts her mouth at some point and gets over her shock. Cameron introduces us to each other and it turns out his name is not Mr. Volleyball, its Blake Donovan.

     A moment of realization passes over
Blake’s face and he turns to us. “Don’t I know the two of you from somewhere? Have we met before?” 

    
Cameron’s eyebrow arches up as he gives Courtney and me a questioning look. I look at Courtney and she is speechless for the first time in her life. Guess I’m going to have to take the lead here. “My friend Courtney and I saw you playing volleyball behind the condo a couple of days ago. We were sitting in the lounge chairs. Perhaps if you picture Courtney here in a barely there hot pink bikini, you will remember seeing us.”

     Now I’
m on the receiving end of a swift kick under the table, damn that hurts. Blake looks at Courtney a minute. “I do remember the two of you. My volleyball partner wanted to come and see if we could talk you both into drinks later that evening. Unfortunately, I already had a prior engagement or we would’ve come over and asked. We went back the next day but we didn’t see the two of you. Wasn’t your hair a lot longer a few days ago?” he asks Courtney.

     “Yeah, trying a new look.  Thanks for noticing,” Courtney responds rather pleased. 

     “I like the new look, it’s quite sexy,” he tells her with a wink.

      Squeezing my knee Cameron informs Blake
, “Well, you tell your partner that this one here is off the market. I’ve had my eye on her for quite some time.”

     “Geez Cameron, aren’t we a bit cocky. Kylie just became single, maybe she wants to play the field a bit, check out her options,” Courtney teases.

     “It can’t hurt to intimidate the competition a little, besides, if I beat them all away I’ll be her only option,” he says with a sexy wink my way.

     We order our food, the men ordering the largest rib eyes on the menu, I order a petite sirloin, and Courtney sticks to her word and orders the prime rib. Courtney and I get a couple girlie drinks while the men order beer. The food is delicious, the conversation light, and the men are sexy and charming. I’m feeling blessed to be in such great company. It’s such a change from the way things were just a few days ago. I’m pleased with the turn my life has taken.

     Courtney and Blake seem to hit it off from the start, talking about interests they share. Blake and Cameron discuss the details of renting his room in the condo. They come to an agreement both of them can live with. Courtney has a huge dorky grin plastered on her face as she realizes the man she wants as a boy toy will be easily accessible from across the hall. I get the sudden feeling she’ll be making up plenty of excuses to try to get him into her condo instead. The lusty look on Blake’s face tells me she may not have to put in too much effort to get him there.

     As I try to finish my dinner, my mind wanders to the wonderful sensation I feel as Cameron is stroking the inner side of my knee with his thumb. I remember this afternoon when his thumb was drawing similar circles on another part of my body and how easily he brought me to a mind-altering climax. The smell of his cologne fills my nose as he leans closer and plants an innocent kiss on my cheek. If he only knew what the smell of his sexy cologne, the heat of his body near mine, and that innocent kiss was doing to my insides. I feel myself grow wet with desire and I want to run out of the restaurant, dragging him with me so we can continue in private. I need to feel this closeness with him and the pleasure he gives my body. I can’t wait to be the one to bring him to an orgasm and hear the noises he makes.

     Cameron whispers in my ear, “What are you thinking about? Are you still with us or in another world?”

     “I’m hoping this dinner gets done soon, I want to spend some time with you and get to know you.
I want us to be close like we used to be and I really want to feel your arms wrapped around me again.”

     “Give me a few minutes and I will politely excuse us from the table. It looks like everyone is done anyways, and Courtney’s so wrapped up with Blake that I’m sure she’s trying to find a way to get rid of us,” he chuckles.

     Cameron and Blake split the bill and I feel a twinge of guilt. I really need to go out on Monday and find a job. I know Cameron can’t afford to wine and dine me every night. I want to be able to take him out too. Blake agrees to see Courtney home safely and we part ways in the parking lot.

     “What would you like to do?” Cameron asks with a suggestive grin.

     Damn, he is so attractive with those deep dark alluring eyes; I just want to get lost in them. One look with those eyes and he has me feeling breathless. I don’t want to seem too eager or easy so I say, “We could go change out of our dress clothes and sit or walk on the beach.”

     “Sounds great, let’s go back to the condo and change our clothes quick.”

    We drive in silence, both lost in our thoughts. I keep wondering if it’s too soon to get involved with someone else. Will my past prevent me from giving myself to someone completely? Will I get hurt again if I allow myself to trust another man? Cameron seems sincere; I don’t think he would ever hurt me. I sneak a peek at Cameron and then out the window, realizing that we are pulling into the parking garage.

     On our ride up in the elevator it dawns on me, I don’t have a key to get into the condo. “I just realized I don’t have a key to the condo yet. You wouldn’t happen to have a key for Courtney’s place would you?”
