Hunting Grounds (The Holy Trinity Book 1)

Peony

“We’ll show you ours if you show us yours,” Axel promises.

“Why?” I scrunch my nose up in disgust, but I have to admit I’m more than a little curious.

“I want to see one. Don’t you?”

“Not really,” I lie.

“Well I do. And you’re my best friend. So it should be you that shows us, right? Don’t best friends do everything together?”

I guess he kind of has a point. We are best friends and we do most things together. But with Axel there’s always a pressure to do what he wants. I don’t always like it, but he’s older, bossier, and he can be a little scary if he doesn’t get his own way.

“I’m not going first,” I insist, caving under his intense dark stare.

“We’ll do it at the same time. Okay?”

I’m a little curious.

“Okay, on three. Everyone ready?”

I nod nervously. Zie and Kaiden do too, their hands going to the waistband of their swimmers. I hook my own fingers into my bikini bottoms and bite my lip in anticipation.

“1...2...3!”

I wrinkle up my nose.

“That’s disgusting.”

They laugh and go back to peeing all over the tiles surrounding the pool. I hastily yank up my bottoms and dive bomb into the cool water to hide my embarrassment. Boys are gross and I’ll never ever change my mind about that.
