“Good.” He leaned over and ruffled my hair. “I’m not that flush right now myself. After buying the house and the Beemer.”
“Yeah, I understand,” I said and bit on my lower lip. I could see TJ staring at me from the corner of the room, and I felt embarrassed. And slightly ashamed. I wondered how he felt knowing that our family business wasn’t doing so well and that we were on the way to the poor house while he was the son of a billionaire. I wondered if it made him feel uncomfortable. Was he going to feel like we were going to ask him for money if things went badly?
“Want any breakfast, Mila?” TJ asked softly and I heard Cody inhaling. What was his problem? I glanced at Cody to see what he was annoyed at now, but I saw his face moving to the kitchen door, his eyes alert and a small smile on his face. I looked towards the door and my stomach sank as I saw that it was Barbie who had caught his attention and not Sally. Barbie sauntered into the kitchen in a white tank top, with no bra and short black gym shorts that were practically just underwear.
“Why, hello.” Cody grinned as he walked towards Barbie. “I’m Cody. Are you Mila’s friend?”
“Mila Kunis is here?” Barbie’s eyes lit up as she gave Cody a demure smile.
“Who?” Cody asked, confused, and I wanted to laugh.
“Mila Kunis,” Barbie said in a Russian accent and I couldn’t stop myself from rolling my eyes.
“Sorry, what?” Cody looked at me. “Did you change your name, Mila?”
“What do you think?” I said and rolled my eyes. “Barbie has a memory problem. Along with other problems.”
“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow at me and then looked back at Barbie. “What problems? Any way I can help you?” He moved closer to her and I could see his eyes narrowing in on her nipples. Trust me to have a brother who was a pervert.
“I don’t have any problems,” Barbie said.
“Other than being too sexy,” Cody said and she laughed, her face preening up at him. “I have that problem too, so I know.”
“Are you frigging kidding me?” I said loudly and looked over at TJ. “TJ is the one who brought Barbie this weekend. They’re dating.”
“Practically engaged,” Barbie said in a sweet voice and I could see TJ laughing as he stared at me.
“Not even close to engaged,” he said as he walked towards me and then gave Barbie a gaze.
“Ugh, I need a massage.” Barbie stretched her arms and pushed her breasts out. “Anyone up for providing me some release? I brought some aromatherapy oils with me.”
“Not me,” I said and I could feel my stomach curling at how obvious she was. I hated calling other girls whores and sluts but, man, Barbie was a slut.
“Sure, I’ll help you out.” Cody nodded. “We have some loungers at the back. You can lie face down and I’ll get to work, or we can do it on a bed.”
“Maybe a bed,” Barbie said with a small smile. “I don’t want to accidentally flash anyone.” She paused and looked at me. “I like to get my massages topless. Feels so freeing.”
“I’m going to the lake.” I looked at Cody and then at TJ, ignoring Barbie. It seemed to me that she was deliberately trying to flaunt herself in front of me. I knew she wanted to get a rise out of me, but I bet she had no clue how close I was to just slapping her and screaming. And I have never slapped anyone before in my life. “Sally and I need to relax.”
“Well, make sure relaxing is all you do.” Cody turned to me and his voice was rough. “No shopping and spending money you don’t have.”
“Yeah, Mila, time to stop the shopping.” TJ said, his eyes laughing at me.
“TJ, I swear I’m going to go off,” I said to TJ who was barely holding back a grin. I had no idea why he thought any of this was funny. It was far, far from funny. “You tell plastic lady and my brother to stay away from the lake for the next couple of hours, please.” I pursed my lips and he nodded, a solemn look on his face.
“What about me?” he asked, his green eyes sparkling.
“What about you?”
“Can I come to the lake as well?” He licked his lips lightly.
“No,” I said abruptly and turned away, feeling pissy. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with TJ teasing and confusing me. The morning had already gotten off to a bad start and I was still confused about what had happened the previous evening. I still wanted to know why he’d watched me walking to my room and just stood there. I’d had an awful time getting to sleep. I’d been up half the night debating putting on my negligee and going to find him and offering up myself. I just wanted to see how he would respond. My skin had been tingling all night, and when I’d finally fallen asleep, my dreams were filled with TJ’s smile and his strong arms pinning me against a wall, holding me up as he fucked me hard.
