Chapter 116

Terra left us in the room, saying she wanted to go change quickly before she’d join us up on the top deck of the houseboat.

“Cass,” I said once she was gone. “Terra and JC-”

“I know, Tiger,” she calmed me. I’d sat up on the edge of the bed and she moved to stand in front of me, putting her hands on my shoulders so we could look each other in the eye. “I know. I’m not going to push. I like Terra and JC, but JC is kind of a boy and I think Terra might like an encounter with a real, well-rounded and perfectly handsome man. She’s already been flirting and kissing you, and you did say she told you about their agreement in their relationship, so I just wanted to make sure the door was open.”

“You’re trouble, you know that?” I asked, shaking my head with a grin.

“I know,” she said, stepping a little closer and hugging me to her. “Are you OK?’

“Yeah, I am,” I nodded against her breasts. “I just needed to cool down, and things hit me again a little bit. Not as bad as before.”

“OK,” she said, rubbing my back. “If you don’t want to come up, you don’t need to.”

“No, I’m fine now,” I said. “But I do need to talk to you about something first.” I turned her with my hands at her waist and got her to sit on my knee, and she looped her arms around my shoulders.

“What’s up?” she asked.

“So, Becca and I talked right before lunch and she’d like to meet up during the photoshoots tonight,” I said. “And she says she wants to play with both of us, but for this first time she’s asking for it to be just me and her since it’s been so long since she’s had sex with someone.”

Cassidy hesitated, then nodded. “That’s fine. I’ll do my own thing, or help someone else, and you two can have some privacy.”

“Are you sure you’re OK with that?” I asked. “You don’t sound sure.”

She kissed me, soft and earnest. “Robbie, I’m sure. I just needed to absorb it for a second, that this is happening. I know I’m the one driving this but it’s still weird for me too. I love you, and I know Becca is going to treat you well, and you’re going to rock her world.”

“If you have any reservations about this, it’s OK,” I said. “You just need to tell me.”

“Thank you, Tiger,” she said, hugging me and resting her head on my shoulder. “But I’m 100 per cent sure. I’m going to want to hear about it after, obviously, but I was serious. Cattie, Wanda and Becca, and now Terra, have carte blanche. Technically so does Ami, I guess, but I doubt she acts on it before your date tomorrow.”

“You’re right, this is weird,” I sighed, hugging her back.

“So you really laid into Heather, huh?” she asked.

“The only thing I didn’t do was point out how Sherry was being a problem because of her,” I said. “But I fucking hope I didn’t piss off Cattie.”

“I doubt it,” Cass said and kissed my cheek.

Terra came and knocked on our door, and the three of us went up to the top deck to see what was going on. It looked like the College Guys were setting up for tubing runs again, though they would need to be careful towing riders out of our cove to do it. JC waved to us from down on the speedboat when he saw his girlfriend and Cass and I looking down - his cluelessness made me feel a little bad all over again about Cassidy’s offer to Terra. I liked JC and I definitely didn’t want to screw up him and Terra.
