“You fuckers,” Ares mentioned whereas Wells yelled at his ass to get in right here with us, and Bru was beside him doing the identical. I discovered myself cheering too, pumping my fist.

“Come on, massive. What are you, a wuss!” I referred to as out, utilizing his nickname the others had thought was hilarious after they’d heard it. I feel my twin brother was regretting letting me title him something, however he’d recover from it. “Come on in. The water’s positive.”

Ares didn’t appear like he wished to, however ultimately, he actually let his hair down. He tugged his ebony locks free, these loopy curls of his flying in every single place. He shrugged his jacket off, then side-flipped into the pool with everybody else. He got here to the floor, laughing with the remainder of us, and on the deck, Thatcher was making an attempt to get his sister to affix the celebration. He had the little rabbit by the arm, guiding her whereas she smacked at him.

“No manner. You guys are loopy,” she mentioned, folding her arms, and Thatcher will need to have been over it as a result of he left her and jumped into the pool. He went straight for Wells, taking the platinum blond with him underwater. They got here up, and Wells was on Thatcher’s again, punching at his ass, which had Dorian, Ares, Bru, and me roaring.

“Come on, Bow!” I referred to as out to her. This celebration wasn’t something with out her, and the others joined to assist me get her out right here. The boys coached her on whereas I cheered, and when the second of resolution hit her face, she pressed arms to her cheeks.

“I can’t imagine I’m going to do that,” she mentioned, utterly cute when she held her little nostril. She jumped, black heels, black costume, all of it, and I pumped my fist, Dorian holding me and doing the identical. She got here up fast, and when she did, she was laughing.

All of us did.

In our personal Legacy world, we splashed one another, boys dunking women, women dunking boys, and boys dunking one another. Ultimately, we gathered a crowd when others from the celebration got here out to see what was happening. The spectators watched on, cheering earlier than, finally, becoming a member of us too. Earlier than all of us knew it, your complete pool was crammed with splashing and laughter, however nobody would neglect who began this. This was Legacy, a coalition of household and mates, and it nearly felt like a final night time for antics for the group of us. It was the final probability to be a child at first modified for many people with commencement and faculty. We acquired to only be us, wild and free. On this night, we owned the night time.

And what an evening it was.

“Prepared. Set.” Wells paused, his grin cockier than hell. He beloved these races. He winked at me from the beginning line. “Let’s get it.”

His fist dropped, and my sneakers shot me off the road, Ares’s too. Gone had been the times he let me get forward.

I didn’t want the assistance.

Sheer pace backing me, I pumped my arms, racing previous Bru, Thatcher, Bow, and Dorian from the facet traces. All of them cheered from the facet of the road, however the one one who had a figuring out smile was my boyfriend. I’d occurred to beat him in a race simply this morning, my greatest time ever.

I used to be about to interrupt that file now.

I didn’t know if Ares had let himself go within the days following commencement a couple of weeks in the past or what, however I left him behind me, figuring out I’d gained this shit earlier than I even handed the end line. We had the road marked on the finish of our dad and mom’ avenue, and we had been in a position to maintain our races out right here now that summer season had hit. Add that to the very fact the press had been lastly leaving us on their own and permitting us to reside our lives, my twin brother and I acquired to complete our grudge match. I used to be going to beat him in a foot race earlier than we headed off to school within the fall, and at the moment could be the day.

I heard Ares growl proper as I achieved that very feat. I blazed previous the end line, simply a couple of strides forward and instantly broke out right into a dance.

“Oh, shit!” I chanted, dancing round him when he got here to a cease. He had his arms on his knees, winded, however that didn’t cease me. I pressed arms to my chest. “Oh, shit. Did she simply try this?”

Clearly, I used to be referring to myself, and I rubbed that win all up in his face as the remainder of the group strode as much as be a part of us.

Grunting, Ares stood up. He tried to play it off he wasn’t utterly gassed, however he needed to gulp in a couple of breaths earlier than me. His eyes rolled. “Good job, little.”

It was higher than good. I’d been coaching for this shit each morning since we’d graduated, a bit of obsessed, however I didn’t care. I wished bragging rights and one thing to carry over his head.

I continued to bop across the similar time my boyfriend acquired me across the waist. The darkish prince was all grins when he picked me up, my legs looping round him.

“Fuck yeah, my woman did that,” he mentioned, kissing me, and Ares’s eyes lifted larger.

“She had day,” he gritted, downplaying my win, and I smirked. Good day or not, I beat his ass.

I shot a finger at him. “I assume you had been proper about these genetics, bro.” It was a lot simpler to name him that now, regular. I smiled, hugging the darkish prince. “And I did try this.”

“You probably did, child.” Chuckling, Dorian braced my waist. He set me down whereas he proceeded to present me one other congratulatory kiss, and I feel Ares groaned for a special purpose then.

In addition to the others.

Dorian acquired swats at his head, they usually had been fortunate his lips had been preoccupied. I’d seen him get in avenue fights together with his mates over much less. Particularly each time Thatcher or Wells acquired flirty. They nonetheless favored to poke and tease me as a result of they had been attractive fucks. I took it in good stride, figuring out their personalities now. That was simply their manner, however each time they did, they made certain to cease earlier than Dorian got here round. They’d gotten a couple of punch to the intestine for it.
