Free Together Forever: Billionaire Alpha by Ali Parker Page B

yeah.” Bethany glanced over her shoulder and held up a fist. “Boys against girls. You’re going down.”
    “Ha! You wish, chick. You’re going to eat my shorts!” Matt responded and caught a hand to the chest. He glanced to Damon and laughed. “Okay, you’re going to eat Damon’s shorts.”
    “Better,” Damon muttered and looked up. “Let’s do this. The chance to get to teach both of you good-looking women a lesson in one swipe? Brilliant. Lay your wager.”
    “Winner chooses where we have sex tonight.” Bethany walked toward them, taking the ball from Damon and pushing her hip against him as she walked onto the sand.
    Nervous laughter followed her as Matt didn’t seem to know how to respond. Erica moved into the sand beside her, taking the ball and glancing over her shoulder at Matt, no doubt. “I’m down. You, Matthew?”
    “Fuck yeah, I am.” Matt’s voice dropped an octave.
    Bethany glanced over her shoulder, almost surprised by the predatory look on his face as he watched Erica move to the far side of the sand court.
    Damon laughed and clapped his hands. “All right. Girls can serve first. We’ll go easy on you both. It’s hard to play against such great athletes as the Bryant boys.”
    “Oh, fuck no. They’re going down.” Bethany glanced back at Erica as she prepared to serve.
    “No worries, sister. We were district champs in high school every year I was on the team.” Erica winked and threw the ball in the air, hitting it hard. It dodged both of the guys and scored the girl’s a point.
    “You’re welcome.” Matthew shrugged as if they had given the point away.
    “Keep it up and I’ll make you my bitch, Matthew,” Erica spoke with a sultry voice.
    “Yes, ma’am.” Matt saluted her and Bethany couldn’t help but share a warm smile with Damon.
    He was so handsome, his dark hair moving as the wind blew, his strong arms and chest on display as he pulled his shirt off and threw it in the sand. Suddenly, losing sounded much, much better than winning. She would take him above her in the bedroom if she had the choice of where they were going to spend their night fucking, but he was creative and bold. He would push her to open up and walk beyond the edge of her comfort.
    The thought sent a shockwave through her and she missed a return ball. She glanced back to Erica, who very much had on a game face.
    “If you throw this game for Damon, I’m going to get you good,” she growled playfully.
    Bethany shrugged and turned back around, bursting into laughter at the look on Matt’s face.
    “See… I told you. Insanely intimidating,” Matt mumbled and squatted, preparing. “Bring it on, girl. You’re going down.”
    “I hope so,” Erica responded and that was all it took. Matt missed every ball hit to him after that.

     

CHAPTER ELEVEN
     
    The boys won the game, but only by a point. Erica cussed the whole way back to the room as they danced and made a scene in the hall before the girls. Bethany couldn’t help but laugh uncontrollably. Damon was beyond cute as he delighted in his brother’s madness.
    “This is such bullshit,” she huffed and stopped at the room, glaring down the hall at them.
    “Sore loser and you’re going to be sore when I get done with you.” Matt clapped his hands and high-fived Damon. If Matt and Erica ended up sleeping together, everyone would be shocked, Matthew especially.
    “Promises. Promises.” Erica slipped into the room with a soft chuckle under her breath. The girl was devious. She knew what she was doing.
    Bethany pressed her hand to the door and looked down the hall, catching Damon’s attention as Matt slipped into their room. “That was fun.”
    “It was, but don’t forget later tonight when I strip you bare on the edge of the ocean and make love to you, that I get to. I won.”
    A shiver ran through her and she bit her lip to keep from letting him see just how much he affected her. “I’m ready.”
    “Good. I love you, wicked
