| stood in front of the mirror, squinting at my reflection as | adjusted the straps of my bikini for the hundredth
time. The material stretched over my chest like it was fighting a battle it wasn't winning, and | let out a long,
frustrated groan.
"I look like a whale," | muttered, frowning as | turned sideways, tugging at the waistband of my bottoms.
Behind me, Laura snorted. "You are literally creating a life, so who the hell cares?" She walked up and plopped
onto the bed with a tic flop. "Plus, you're glowing."
"Yeah," | said, shooting her a dry look through the mirror. "That's because creating a life in the middle of summer
makessweat. The glow is actually shine. Don't ctoo close." Laura chuckled, leaning back on her elbows.
"Stop being so tic. You look great. Honestly, if you weren't so insecure about it, I'd hate you for looking this
good while pregnant.”
| rolled my eyes and turned back to the mirror, cupping my chest with both hands. "And these are massive."
"Complaining about a free upgrade?" Laura teased, waggling her eyebrows.
"Nothing fits," | complained, letting go and flopping backward onto her bed. | covered my face with my hands,
groaning into my palms.

"You're being ridiculous," Laura said, grabbing a throw pillow and smacking my stomach lightly. "Luke thinks
you're hot, and he's basically blind to anyone else, so why are you even worrying?"
"It's not about him," | mumbled, peeking through my fingers at her. "Okay, maybe it's partially about him, but
also, everyone's going to be out there. Josh and his friends, Sarah-"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sarah has been nothing but great," Laura interrupted, raising an eyebrow at me.
| sighed, sitting up. "I know. And honestly, it's weird how not weird it's been. She works all these shifts, so she's
barely at the pool house, and when she is, she's super quiet. She's been... normal."
Laura nodded, twirling a strand of her hair. "Exactly. So why stress? This party is about relaxing. Have sfun.
Plus, Josh has been so focused on rehab that I've been feeling a little neglected. This bikini should get him to put
more energy in the right place." | laughed, shaking my head. "Oh, he's already doomed. You're his kryptonite,
and he doesn't even know it yet."
"Doesn't he, though?" Laura smirked, then tossedanother bikini top from the pile we'd accumulated. "Now
put this one on and stop whining. It's cute, and | don't care if you think it's too tight. You're rocking it."
| laughed despite myself and got off the bed. Maybe she was right. It wasn't about looking perfect; it was about
letting go and enjoying the moment.

Slipping into the bikini top, | turned to Laura with a smirk. "Okay. Let's do this."
Laura and | walked out onto the patio, the heat of the sun kissing our skin as the scent of sizzling burgers and
charcoal filled the air.
My nerves prickled as a couple of the guys let out loud, appreciative whistles the moment we stepped outside.
| felt the blush rise up my neck, burning into my cheeks. "Oh my god," | muttered, tugging at the edge of my
bikini top as if it could magically makeinvisible. Laura, ever the confident one, shota wicked grin. "Just
smile and own it. You look hot."
Before | could respond, both Josh and Luke turned from their post at the grill, their expressions immediately
darkening as they zeroed in on the whistling culprits.
"Fuck right off," Josh called out, his voice loud enough to make heads turn. "They're off-limits, assholes."
Luke added with a grin, "Or better yet, stop breathing."
Their teasing, possessive tones sent the group into a chorus of laughter, and Laura rolled her eyes.
"Such gentlemen," she muttered as Josh abandoned the grill and sauntered toward us, his tall, broad frame
cutting a path through the crowd. His cocky grin only widened as he reached Laura. Without a word, he scooped
her up into his arms like she weighed nothing. 10:44

"What? You're too hot to be standing out here!" he shot back before sprinting toward the pool.
"Don't you dare!" she shrieked, clutching at his shoulders.
Josh only laughed as he jumped in, taking her with him. They hit the water with a massive splash, leaving me
blinking as droplets rained down over me.
Luke walked over to where | was standing, his smirk almost wicked as his dark eyes roved over me. His muscular
arms were folded across his chest, his biceps straining the sleeves of his T-shirt. Sweat glistened on his tan skin,
and | could make out the hint of his abs under the fabric.
"You wouldn't dare," | warned, backing up as he stopped a few steps away from me.
Luke's grin turned wolfish. "I'll be gentle. Promise, babe."

"I got you," he murmured, stepping into the pool. The cool water lapped at his calves, then his thighs, and | knew
what was coming.
"Luke, no-"
With a wicked grin, he shifted his hold, loweringgently into the water-until he suddenly dunked me
completely under.
The shock of the cold water stole my breath, and | cup sputtering, shoving at his chest. "You absolute jerk!"
Luke laughed, his deep, rich chuckle rolling overas he grabbed my hands to stop my weak attempts at
retaliation.
Before | could give him another piece of my mind, the air around us went unnervingly still. The laughter from the
guys had stopped, and | realized everyone's attention was turned toward the pool house.
Luke stiffened next to me, his grip on my hands loosening as we both turned to look.
