The Bucket List by Skyla Carter Read Free Book Online

they watched a movie. It didn't bother him; he knew John would never touch Rae with a barge pole, even with all her persistent flirting. Yes, he knew how hot and bothered John got when Rae really turned up the heat. He was only a man, after all.
    "Hey, sexy. Heard you were having a drink with a certain Playboy pin-up."
    Corey dropped a kiss on her lips and sat next to her. He always kissed her on the lips, he'd been doing it for as long as he could remember.
    "Yeah, what was that all about? You practically told me to fuck off," John said.
    "We were just talking. I am allowed other friends besides you two, you know."
    "And when do I get to finally meet her? You've kept her from me long enough."
    "Tonight, actually. She's coming with us to the Ceremony and tomorrow we'll hit the clubs after Riptide Rumble."
    He was watching John's face as he said that and grinned when he saw the faint blush on his cheeks. The man needed serious work. It would be fun to watch him fall all over himself when Mandy was about.
    "Can I play with her?" Rae asked.
    "No!" both men answered.
    "Can I at least touch her? She got to be the most beautiful girl I've ever seen," Rae begged, looking from one to the other.
    "I thought you were doing the whole dating and finding love thing," Corey said.
    "I decided I'll start tomorrow," she chuckled. "Come on, just one breast then. That'll keep me happy for a long time."
    "I doubt that," John laughed.
    "Well, okay, maybe for a few seconds."
    "I'm serious, Rae. Alyssa is my friend."
    "Okay. Okay. I won't touch her," she laughed. "I was only teasing anyway. Tonight is all about you guys. You'll have my undivided attention."
    "I wonder what Dave will think of that," John teased.
    "What, you think he'll think we're together just because I slept with him? He's a grown man, he knows how these things work."
    "I don't know. I saw the way he was looking at you this morning. I don't think one time will quite do it for him," Corey laughed.
    "Who said it was one time?"
    "So this whole dating thing is off?" Corey asked.
    "I decided to start tomorrow. He was just too hot to ignore. The man can do things with his tongue that should be illegal!" Rae chuckled.
    "Can you guys stop talking about this, now? I really don't want to know what you and Dave did this morning."
    "I can show you, if you want," Rae said wickedly as she ran her fingernails down his muscular torso. "You know you want to. Come on, how could you not. I'm molded to perfection and blessed with so many wicked talents!"
    "Such an ego! Get off me, woman," John laughed, trying to untangle himself.
    "John is still out of bounds," Corey warned.
    "Ow," she said with a pout, her manicured nails trailing down his chest. "I was getting ready to play."
    "You can play with me when the devil wears a winter coat, babes," he chuckled, dropping a kiss on top of her head. "Now watch the movie."
    "Wow," Corey said, his eyes fixed on her as she walked out of the bathroom.
    She gave him a little twirl, showing off her Channel evening dress. It was backless with tiny straps that held it up tied behind her neck and a neckline that dipped low enough to show her ample cleavage. It was long and molded her body, showing her curves off to perfection. She had her hair up in a disarray of curls in a look Corey believed only she could pull off; elegant, sophisticated and slutty at the same time. Diamonds adorned her ears, fingers and wrist, discreet ones that didn't take all the attention away from her features.
    "You like?" she asked with a smile.
    "You look so beautiful, baby," he answered, giving her a little kiss. "I'm going to be the envy of every man there."
    "You look good enough to eat yourself," she smiled.
    He wore all black, the colour making his tan kick out.
    "Thanks."
    The door opened and John came in.
    "The Limo's downstairs... wow," he said when he laid his eyes on Rae. "You look amazing, Princess."
    "Thank you, kind sir. You look good, too," she smiled. "Now lets get going,
