Chapter 1: The Siren’s Call: Rhonda’s Transformation
The salt air clung to Jeff’s skin, thick and damp, mingling with the fading sweetness of Rhonda’s perfume. He leaned against the cool metal railing of the upper deck, the ship’s deep thrum vibrating through his bones. Below, the inky ocean stretched endlessly, punctuated only by the ship’s wake, a frothy white scar on the dark water. Inside the glowing rectangle of the hot tub, laughter cut through the night, sharp and bright.
Rhonda’s laughter.
He watched her silhouette through the rising steam. She was submerged chest-deep in the churning, LED-lit water, a halo of turquoise and violet light dancing around her head. On her left, Liam, the groom, lounged back, his expression a mix of tipsy amusement and dazed disbelief. On her right, Theo, Liam’s best man, leaned close. Too close. Theo’s arm was draped casually along the hot tub’s edge behind Rhonda, fingers almost, but not quite, brushing her bare shoulder. His other hand gestured broadly as he spoke, drawing another peal of laughter from her.
It was the laugh that unnerved Jeff most. Not the polite, restrained chuckle he knew from countless dinner parties or quiet evenings at home. This was unrestrained, throaty, a sound that seemed to bubble up from somewhere deep and unfamiliar inside the woman he’d known for five years, been engaged to for eighteen months. The woman who usually preferred quiet gardens to noisy decks, who blushed if a waiter lingered too long. She tipped her head back, water sluicing down her neck, a move that seemed to deliberately offer the curve of her throat to Theo’s appreciative gaze.
"Seriously, Rhonda," Theo’s voice, amplified by the water and the quiet night, carried easily to Jeff. "That story about the flaming dessert trolley at the Captain’s dinner? Gold. Pure gold." He grinned, white teeth flashing. "Never pegged you for an arsonist."
"Accidental arsonist," Rhonda corrected, her voice warm and relaxed, swirling the water with her hand. A diamond tennis bracelet glittered on her wrist, catching the colored lights. Jeff had given her that bracelet. "The crêpes Suzette were just... overly enthusiastic."
Liam chuckled, splashing water lightly. "My Aunt Mildred nearly had a coronary. Thought the whole damn ship was going up."
"Hardly," Rhonda said, her eyes sparkling as she turned them on Theo. "Though a little controlled chaos never hurt anyone, did it?"
Theo’s grin widened. "Spoken like a woman after my own heart. Chaos is severely underrated." He nudged her playfully with his elbow under the water. "Alright, my turn. Truth or dare?"
Jeff felt a coil of something tight and unpleasant twist in his gut. Truth or dare? Seriously? They were acting like teenagers. He took a slow sip of his lukewarm beer, the taste suddenly flat. He should be down there. He was down there, earlier. When it was just him and Rhonda, sharing the tub, watching the stars, talking about the Greek islands they’d visit next year. Then the bachelor party had spilled out onto the deck, loud and boisterous, led by Theo. Most had drifted off again, back to the club or the blackjack tables, but Theo and Liam had stayed. And Rhonda… Rhonda hadn’t just stayed. She’d blossomed. She’d slid deeper into the water as they climbed in, making space between them. Inviting it.
"Truth," Rhonda declared, leaning back against the jets, stretching her legs out. The short, silky robe she’d worn down was discarded on a nearby lounger. Her swimsuit was modest enough – navy blue, one-shoulder – but the way the water clung to her skin, the way the lights played over her, the sheer abandon in her posture… It felt shockingly intimate. Jeff’s knuckles whitened on the railing.
Theo tapped his chin theatrically. "Truth... Okay. What’s the wildest fantasy you’ve ever had that you’ve never acted on?"
Liam coughed, spluttering a little water. "Jesus, Theo!"
Rhonda didn’t flinch. A slow, knowing smile spread across her face, a look Jeff had never seen directed at anyone but him. Until tonight. "That," she said, her voice dropping to a low purr that carried unnervingly well, "is a dangerous question, Theo. Especially with my fiancé somewhere around here." She didn’t look around for Jeff. She kept her eyes locked on Theo.
"Precisely why it’s the perfect question," Theo countered, unrepentant. "Come on. The sea air makes secrets evaporate. Spill."
Jeff held his breath. The thrum of the ship faded into a dull roar in his ears. What was she playing at? This wasn't her. This was tequila and salt air and… and Theo.
Rhonda tilted her head, seeming to consider. The water lapped around her collarbones. "Alright," she said, her voice smooth as the dark water beyond the deck. "Since we’re being wild… I’ve always had this fantasy… about dancing. In the rain. Somewhere hot. Completely alone. Naked." She paused, letting the word hang. "But not just dancing. Like… possessed. Dancing until I collapse. Free."
Theo let out a low whistle. Liam just stared, looking slightly poleaxed.
"See?" Theo said, triumphant. "Delicious. Much better than, 'I fantasize about winning the lottery.'" He shifted, turning his body more fully towards her, closing the small distance between them. "Now, Rhonda. Your turn. Dare or truth?"
The air crackled. Jeff’s heart hammered against his ribs. He wanted to storm over, grab her arm, demand they leave. Tell Theo to back the hell off. But a different, insidious heat warred with the jealousy – a raw, uncomfortable arousal sparked by the sight of her like this, unleashed, desired. By the daring in her voice. It was confusing, infuriating.
"Dare," Rhonda said, her gaze locked on Theo’s. There was a challenge in her eyes.
Theo’s smile turned predatory. "Oh, I like your style." He glanced at Liam, then back at her. "Okay. I dare you… to kiss Liam. For ten seconds. Properly."
Liam choked. "Whoa, Theo! Rhonda, you don’t have to—"
"Deal," Rhonda interrupted, her voice clear and unwavering.
Jeff froze. Ice water seemed to flood his veins, followed instantly by a scorching flush. He saw Liam’s wide, uncertain eyes. He saw Theo’s intense, expectant stare. And he saw Rhonda, pushing herself up slightly against the jet behind her, water streaming down her skin. Her expression wasn't hesitant; it was focused. Curious. Daring. She turned her body towards Liam.
Liam looked like a deer caught in headlights. "Rhonda, really, it's just Theo being—"
She didn’t let him finish. With a fluid grace that seemed surreal in the churning water, she closed the gap. Her hand came up to cup Liam’s cheek, still slick and glistening. She leaned in.
Jeff watched, paralyzed. He saw the hesitation in Liam’s posture melt away as Rhonda’s lips met his. It wasn't a chaste peck. It was deliberate. Slow. Her fingers slid back into Liam’s wet hair. Liam’s hands, which had been frozen at his sides, slowly lifted, settling tentatively on her bare waist above the waterline. Ten seconds. Theo counted aloud, his voice low and amused. "One... two... three..."
A visceral jolt shot through Jeff. Jealousy was a physical punch, stealing his breath. But beneath it, almost shameful in its intensity, was a fierce, unwelcome throb of pure heat. Seeing her like this – confident, desired, taking what she wanted – ignited something primal he hadn't known was there. The man who valued stability, predictability, the gentle rhythm of their life together, warred violently with the man watching his fiancée explore a reckless, intoxicating freedom in the arms of another. He wanted to roar. He wanted to watch. He hated Theo. He hated the tight feeling in his own chest. He hated the way his body reacted.
"...Eight... nine... ten," Theo finished, his voice thick now.
Rhonda pulled back slowly, deliberately. Her lips were parted, glistening. She looked Liam directly in the eye, a small, secretive smile playing on her lips. Liam looked dazed, flushed, his breath coming faster. He didn't pull his hands away from her waist.
"See?" Theo murmured, his own gaze fixed on Rhonda, intense and appreciative. "Not so bad, was it? Actually," he leaned closer to her, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial murmur Jeff had to strain to hear over the water jets and his own pounding pulse, "Looked pretty damn good from here."
Rhonda didn't look at Jeff. She kept her gaze on Theo, that unsettling, triumphant light still in her eyes. "Your turn, best man," she said, her voice husky. "Truth or dare?" She shifted almost imperceptibly, pressing back slightly against Liam’s hands, which still rested on her hips. Liam didn’t move them.
Theo’s grin was pure, unadulterated challenge. "Dare. Always dare."
Rhonda tilted her head, the colored lights catching the water droplets on her cheekbone. She looked from Theo to Liam and back again, her expression unreadable but charged with an energy that made the humid night feel electric. The silence stretched, filled only by the bubbling water and the ship’s distant throb.
Jeff couldn’t stand it anymore. The paralysis shattered. The raw cocktail of jealousy, arousal, confusion, and a desperate need to reclaim something propelled him forward. He stepped out of the shadows near the railing, no longer a spectator in the dark. His bare feet slapped against the damp deck as he walked towards the glaringly bright oasis of the hot tub. His heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the low thrum of the ship. He felt every eye snap towards him – Liam’s startled guilt, Theo’s sharp, assessing look, and finally, Rhonda’s.
She turned her head slowly. Her eyes met his. No surprise. No guilt. Just… a look. Wide, dark, and utterly unreadable in the swirling turquoise light. A challenge held? An invitation? Or simply the acknowledgment of a line irrevocably crossed? She didn’t pull away from Liam’s touch. She didn’t break Theo’s gaze. She just… looked at Jeff. Waiting.
He stopped at the edge of the hot tub, the steam coiling around his legs. He felt the heat radiating from the water, a stark contrast to the chill spreading through his own core. He opened his mouth, not knowing what would come out – a demand, a plea, something furious, something broken. The words died, choked off by the sheer, overwhelming complexity of what he saw reflected in her eyes and churning violently within himself. The silence stretched, thick with chlorine, salt, tequila, and the terrifying echo of his own racing pulse.
The silence stretched, thick with chlorine, salt, tequila, and the terrifying echo of his own racing pulse. Jeff stood rooted at the hot tub’s edge, steam curling around his bare calves. Every muscle felt locked. He saw it all in freeze-frame: Liam’s hands, shockingly pale against Rhonda’s tanned waist, still resting there. Theo’s satisfied, assessing smirk. And Rhonda. Her eyes, wide and dark, holding his. Not pleading. Not apologizing. Just… waiting. Expectant. Like he was part of the spectacle now.
The LED lights shifted, bathing her face in violet, then turquoise, making the water droplets on her cheeks and collarbones gleam like scattered stars. Her small, secretive smile hadn’t wavered. It was the expression of someone who’d discovered a hidden switch and flicked it on, marveling at the light.
Liam finally flinched, his fingers jerking back from Rhonda’s skin as if burned. He cleared his throat, the sound unnaturally loud. "Jeff, man... hey. We were just..." His voice trailed off, useless.
Theo, however, didn’t look away from Rhonda. He leaned back, stretching his arms along the tub's edge, supremely relaxed. "Jeff," he acknowledged, his voice smooth as the water. "Join the party? Water’s perfect." His gaze flickered to Jeff’s face, then back to Rhonda, a silent question hanging between them.
Jeff’s throat was desert-dry. He wanted to grab her arm, yank her out, demand explanations. He wanted to punch Theo’s smug face. But the heat radiating from the water mirrored a different, unwelcome heat coiling low in his own gut. Seeing her like that, desired, confident, utterly in control of the moment… it sparked something primitive, confusing. It warred violently with the sick churn of jealousy. "Rhonda," he managed, the name scraping out. "We should… go."
Rhonda finally blinked, slowly. That unnerving smile deepened. She tilted her head, birdlike. "Go?" Her voice was low, husky. "But the party just got interesting, darling." She emphasized the endearment, turning it into something else entirely. A challenge? A dismissal? She shifted slightly in the water, the movement languid, sending small waves lapping against Liam’s chest and Theo’s arm. She was utterly at ease in her skin, in this space between two younger men. Jeff felt like an intruder. An interruption.
"Interesting," Jeff echoed, the word tight. He looked pointedly at Liam, who shrunk under the gaze. "Looked like it."
Rhonda laughed, that same throaty, unfamiliar sound. "It was just a dare, Jeff. A bit of fun." Her eyes slid back to Theo. "Wasn't it, Theo?"
"Exactly," Theo purred. "Harmless fun on a beautiful night. Right, Liam?"
"Right. Harmless," Liam mumbled, staring fixedly at the bubbling water in front of him.
"See?" Rhonda lifted a hand, trailing her wet fingers through the steam. "Nothing to fret about." Her gaze settled back on Jeff, sharpening. "Unless… you want it to be something to fret about?" The question hung, loaded. She wasn’t apologizing. She was asking what he was going to do. She was including him in the game, on her terms.
Jeff felt the shift. The power wasn't his anymore. It was bubbling in the water with her. The safe, predictable script of their life was dissolving in the steam. He saw the diamond bracelet he’d given her glint on her wrist as she moved her hand. A symbol of everything that felt suddenly fragile. He saw the way Theo watched her, not with lechery, but with intense appreciation, like she was a fascinating, newly discovered creature. And Liam, nervous but undeniably captivated. He saw her. Radiant. Uninhibited. Utterly alive in a way he hadn't seen in years. Maybe ever.
The conflicting emotions – the sharp sting of betrayal, the fierce protectiveness, the humiliating, undeniable pull of raw desire – crashed inside him like waves against the hull. He could demand she leave. He could walk away. Or… he could step into that water.
Theo watched Jeff’s internal struggle, his expression unreadable. Liam kept his gaze down. The colored lights pulsed.
RHONDA MAKES A CHOICE.
Her gaze, which had been locked with Jeff’s, holding him suspended in that agonizing limbo, suddenly shifted. Not to Theo, as Jeff had dreaded. Not apologetically to Liam. But downwards. To her own left wrist, resting on the hot tub’s edge. The diamond tennis bracelet sparkled under the LED lights. A gift. A promise. A symbol of the life Jeff knew.
With a movement that was deliberate, unhurried, almost ritualistic, Rhonda reached over with her right hand. Her fingers found the delicate clasp. A tiny, precise click echoed in the sudden quiet, louder than the bubbling jets. She slipped the bracelet off.
Jeff’s breath hitched. His world tilted.
Rhonda didn’t look at him. She held the bracelet for a suspended moment, water dripping from her fingers onto the gleaming links. Then, without any fanfare, without a single glance towards Jeff, she leaned slightly towards Theo. Not seductively. Matter-of-factly.
"Hold this for me, Theo?" Her voice was calm, clear.
Theo’s eyes widened a fraction, then a slow, understanding smile spread across his face. He didn’t hesitate. He reached out, his fingers brushing hers as he took the bracelet. "My pleasure," he murmured, his voice thick with something darker than amusement. He closed his fist around the diamonds, tucking it safely away.
Rhonda let out a soft sigh, almost of relief. She sank deeper into the water, turning her body fully away from Jeff now, facing Theo and Liam. The line of her bare back, the curve of her shoulder exposed in the one-strap suit, was a wall.
She stretched her arms out along the edge behind Liam and Theo, mimicking Theo’s earlier pose. Her head tilted back against the tub’s rim, eyes closed for a second as the jets massaged her back. Then she opened them, looking first at the flushed, uncertain Liam beside her, then directly at Theo, her expression unreadable but undeniably present. Utterly committed to this moment, this space.
She didn’t say a word to Jeff. She didn’t need to. The bracelet, resting in Theo’s fist, said it all.
The choice was made.
Jeff stood on the damp deck, the cool night air suddenly biting against his skin despite the steam. He was a statue carved from shock and dawning, agonizing comprehension. The pulse in his neck hammered against the silence.
Liam swallowed audibly. Theo watched Rhonda, a predator appreciating the completeness of the surrender he’d invited.
Rhonda finally glanced over her shoulder. Not a full look. Just a sliver of her profile, illuminated in shifting blue light. Her voice, when it came, was quiet, calm, carrying perfectly on the humid air.
"You still here?"
The words hung in the humid air, sharp as broken glass. Not angry. Not pleading. Just… flat. Dismissive. An observation. You still here?
Jeff felt the deck sway beneath his feet, or maybe it was just him. The diamond bracelet, his promise, his anchor, was clenched in Theo’s fist like a trophy. Rhonda’s bare back was a deliberate wall. The colored lights pulsed – violet, turquoise, violet – turning the steam into swirling phantoms. The scent of chlorine was suddenly overwhelming, mixed with salt and the faint, lingering sweetness of Rhonda’s perfume, now smelling like betrayal.
He should leave. Storm off. Make a scene worthy of the gut-punch he’d just taken. His jaw clenched, muscles straining. But his feet stayed rooted. The image of her kissing Liam, the raw confidence in her eyes when she’d dared Theo, the way she’d looked alive… it held him captive more effectively than any command. Jealousy warred with a sick, fascinated hunger.
Rhonda shifted in the water. Not towards him. She stretched, arching her back slightly against the jets, the movement elongating the line of her neck, the curve of her shoulder exposed by the single strap of her swimsuit. Water sluiced down her skin. She sighed, a soft sound that vibrated in the charged silence. Then, slowly, deliberately, she turned her head. Not fully. Just enough to catch his gaze over her shoulder. Her eyes, dark pools in the shifting light, held no apology. Only a cool assessment. A challenge.
"Jeff," she said. Her voice was low, smooth, carrying effortlessly over the bubbling water. It wasn't loud, but it cut through everything. Liam flinched. Theo’s smirk deepened, his eyes flicking between Rhonda and Jeff with avid interest.
Rhonda didn’t look away. "Stop looming. It’s… awkward." A ghost of her earlier, unsettling smile touched her lips. "You look tense. The water’s perfect." She paused, letting the invitation hang. Then, her gaze drifted down his body, taking in his polo shirt, his khaki shorts. It wasn't a leer. It was appraising. Clinical. "All those clothes. Looks uncomfortable. Hot."
Another beat of silence. The ship’s thrum vibrated up through the deck into Jeff’s bones.
"Strip it off," she continued, her tone casual, almost conversational, as if suggesting he take off a jacket. "Just down to your underwear. Then get in." She gestured lazily with her hand towards the space beside Liam, opposite Theo. "Plenty of room."
Jeff’s breath caught. Strip. The word echoed in his skull. Down to your underwear. In front of them. Liam stared, wide-eyed, frozen. Theo watched Jeff, his expression unreadable now, the bracelet still gripped in his hand. Rhonda just held Jeff’s gaze, utterly calm, utterly in control.
"Come on, Jeff," she murmured, the hint of a dare creeping back into her voice. "Don’t be shy. It’s just water. Just skin." Her eyes flickered with something unreadable – amusement? Provocation? "Join us. Watch. Participate." She tilted her head, emphasizing the next words slowly, clearly. "But don’t… derail. Don’t interfere. Understand?"
The command was absolute. Join us. Watch. Participate. Don't interfere. It stripped him of any pretense of control, of righteous anger. It laid bare the raw, confusing tangle of what he actually wanted beneath the shock and jealousy. To be part of this. To see where her wildness led. To feel the heat of the water, the heat of her recklessness.
He felt exposed already, standing there fully clothed. The idea of stripping down to his boxers under their combined gaze – Liam’s nervous curiosity, Theo’s predatory assessment, Rhonda’s cool command – sent a jolt of humiliation mixed with a terrifying thrill through him. His fingers, trembling slightly, found the hem of his polo shirt.
The fabric felt suddenly heavy, scratchy against his skin. He pulled it up. The night air hit his chest and stomach, cool and shocking after the stifling tension. He didn’t look at them. He kept his eyes fixed on a point somewhere over Rhonda’s head, on the dark sea beyond the railing. He balled the shirt up, the movement stiff, and dropped it onto the deck beside his discarded sandals. It landed with a soft, pathetic thud.
His hands went to his belt. The buckle felt cold. The rasp of the leather sliding free was obscenely loud. He pushed the khakis down his legs, stepping awkwardly out of them, kicking them aside. Now he stood in just his dark blue boxer shorts and socks. He felt absurdly vulnerable. The cool air prickled his skin. He could feel the weight of their stares – Liam’s fascinated discomfort, Theo’s intense, analytical gaze, and Rhonda’s… unwavering, expectant calm.
"Better," Rhonda murmured, approval warming her voice just a fraction. She shifted slightly in the water, making a deliberate space between Liam and Theo. "Socks too. Then in you come."
Jeff bent, peeling off his socks, feeling the damp deck grit beneath his bare feet. He straightened. There was no turning back now. He was committed to the absurdity, the humiliation, the terrifying allure of stepping into that glowing, bubbling water. Into her world.
He stepped over the hot tub’s rim. The heat hit him instantly, a shocking contrast to the night air, stealing his breath. Water surged around his calves, then thighs, as he lowered himself into the space Rhonda had indicated, beside Liam. The jets churned violently against his back. Steam enveloped him, thick with chlorine and the scent of Rhonda’s skin, now mingled with Theo’s cologne and Liam’s nervous sweat.
Liam scooted an inch away, radiating awkwardness. Theo leaned back, watching Jeff settle in, his fist still closed around the bracelet resting on the tub’s edge beside him. Rhonda, however, turned fully towards Jeff now. Her eyes traveled slowly, deliberately, from his face down his bare chest, lingering for a heartbeat before meeting his gaze again. A slow, satisfied smile touched her lips, devoid of warmth but full of power.
"Good," she breathed, the sound almost lost in the bubbling water. Her foot brushed against his leg under the surface, a deliberate, fleeting contact. Her gaze held his, dark and unreadable. "Now," she whispered, leaning fractionally closer, her voice a low thrum vibrating in the steam, "Just watch." Before Jeff could respond, something smooth and cool brushed against his leg. He looked down, startled, but his hand was already closing around the object. He lifted it out of the water, his heart pounding in his chest. It was Rhonda’s bikini bottoms, a tiny scrap of navy blue fabric, damp and clinging. He looked at it, bewildered, then up at Rhonda. She was naked from the waist down, completely unashamed, her eyes locked onto his. The realization hit him like a physical blow – she’d deliberately handed him her bikini bottoms, or perhaps one of the others had passed them to him, but the end result was the same.
"Rhonda," he choked, his fingers instinctively tightening around the fabric, "What are you—"
"Shh," she hushed him, her voice gentle but firm.
She shifted slightly, her body turning towards Theo, breaking their eye contact but not his shock. Liam’s hand, however, suddenly appeared at Jeff’s side, his fingers light, almost tentative, brushing against Jeff’s thigh.
Jeff’s head snapped towards Liam, his eyes wide, his breath momentarily stolen. Liam’s touch was a jolt of electricity, a tangible connection that severed the last vestiges of his disbelief. The young man’s eyes were large, uncertain, but there was an unmistakable intent in his gaze. Jeff felt the touch like a brand, searing through the numbness that had cocooned him since he’d stepped into the hot tub.
Liam’s hand, light but insistent, traced a slow path up his inner thigh, sending shockwaves of sensation and disbelief through him. Jeff’s breath hitched as Liam’s fingers slipped under the leg of his boxers, his touch tentative, almost reverent. The skin beneath the fabric was hyper-sensitive, every nerve ending crackling to life as Liam’s fingers brushed against Jeff’s growing erection. He was hard, painfully so, the blood rushing south in a primal response to the sudden, unexpected touch.
At the same moment, Rhonda’s smooth, cool hand pressed against his knee beneath the surface, her fingers slipping something small and soft into his palm. Jeff looked down, his heart hammering, to find Theo’s swim trunks gripped tightly in Rhonda’s hand. Her eyes, dark and knowing, held his.
She didn’t need to speak. The message was clear – enjoy it. Jeff felt a strange, unwilling relaxation stealing through him. Liam’s touch was tentative but sure, his fingers tracing patterns on Jeff’s inner thigh, teasing him, drawing out a curious, humiliating pleasure. Jeff watched Theo’s face, his expression unreadable as he looked down at Rhonda. Jeff’s heart pounded as he felt the water shift around him, a rhythmic movement that echoed the slow, steady pressure of Liam’s hand. He couldn’t see what Rhonda was doing beneath the surface, but he could imagine it—her cool, confident fingers wrapping around Theo’s cock, stroking him slowly, surely. The thought sent a jolt of heat through him, a raw, primal reaction to the forbidden scene unfolding.
Liam’s hand, now gripping Jeff with surprising confidence, tightened, his fingers stroking the length of Jeff’s cock, drawing a low groan from deep within him that he couldn’t suppress. The sensation was overwhelming, electric—Liam’s hand, tentative but firm, tracing patterns of pleasure that Jeff had never experienced. His own breath came in ragged gasps, the steam around them billowing with each exhale. Above the bubbling water, Rhonda’s eyes locked with his, her stare intense and knowing, urging him to feel, to accept this strange, new reality. Her hand, still hidden under the water, continued its rhythmic movement on Theo, the man whose fist closed around Jeff’s promise of marriage, now a silent, potent witness to Jeff’s betrayal.
Jeff’s breath hitched as Rhonda’s head dipped below the surface, her mouth seeking, finding, her lips wrapping around Theo’s cock. Theo’s breath caught, his eyes flying open, his fist tightening around the bracelet as he threw his head back with a low groan.
The hot tub seemed to still, the bubbling jets now insignificant against the raw, electric atmosphere. Liam’s hand on Jeff’s cock faltered, his breath ragged as he watched the scene unfold. Jeff, his vision tunneling on Rhonda’s head bobbing beneath the surface, felt a surge of pure, undiluted jealousy. He clenched his jaw, the muscles pulling taut as he fought the wave of emotion, the need to intervene, to stop this. But his body betrayed him.
