More Than Enough (Enough #2) Read Online Free PDF Page B

I’ve ever seen. She will have you in the water before you get situated on my shoulders.”
    She looks taken back at that, “Really, she seems so nice and relaxed.” I smile at her and just laugh at her naivety, “Just watch and learn.” Carter and Brayden look like they are ready to go now so we head out to the pool. I whip off my shirt and hear Athena mumble, “Holy hell.” I look up and she is staring at my chest with a worshipful expression. Now this makes me feel good for a moment, and I think how fucking enjoyable it is to be looked at like this after all the hard work and weights I’ve done for football. This only lasts a second because I look over and see Carter stroking Brayden’s abs since he took off his shirt. He looks like he’s enjoying the attention a little too much with other people around, but it brings me back to the place that hurts to know Carter will never touch me like that.
                  Athena saw the direction of my gaze and gave me a look of understanding. “You ready to kick some ass?” she asked as she jumped into the pool. I just had to laugh at her confidence and reply, “Sure, whatever you say, babe.” Carter and Brayden get in the pool at the same time as me. But of course my brother being the show boater he is announces to everyone, “Chicken tournament in the pool. Carter and me against Keller and Athena for the first round, Ryan, you say when to go.” Both of us get the girls settled on our shoulders and Ryan yells, “Go!” In no time at all Brayden gets close to my side and I try to hold on to Athena, but he pulls at my arms on her legs as Carter in perfect synchronization pulls hard on Athena’s arms. She falls off of me even faster than I thought she would, and I just have to laugh at Carter’s self-satisfied expression. She might be the sweetest, most accommodating person in the world in life. But you get her in a competition, and she will take you and everybody else down as fast as she possibly can without showing any mercy.
                  Athena came up sputtering as Brayden and Carter were already getting ready for their next challengers. I decided to be polite and help Athena out of the water and find her a towel. After she caught her breath, she asked, “How can Carter move around on Brayden without holding on? He and she pulled me off so fast; I didn’t even know what was happening before I was in the water.” She looked so bewildered that I had to chuckle at her confusion and try to explain, “Carter figured out how to balance on our shoulders a long time ago. She is the most competitive person that I know. She hates to lose so she does everything she can to prevent that from happening. When she challenges you to a game, any game, she is serious about playing and winning.”
                  Athena giggles at that, “Wow, that is something I wouldn’t expect from somebody that looks and acts like an angel. But to rip me off your shoulders like that, she has to be pretty competitive.” We start watching Carter and Brayden take down couple after couple that challenges them. We laugh about how some of the girls look really scared of Carter, and how we bet their boyfriends talked them into it. We laugh about how serious Carter looks as she is on Brayden’s shoulders in a bikini about to take another girl down. Finally, Brayden and Carter are declared the official winners of chicken, and I realize that the party is actually wrapping up. It is after three in the morning, and I had a good time for the last hour with Athena. Right now, I’m still not interested in any other girl but Carter, but I think it might be nice to have some more friends.
                  I tell Athena, “Thanks for losing chicken with me, and sorry, I was so rude to you at the beginning of the night. I just really don’t like parties much, and I thought you were just another girl that wanted to hook up with a football player.” She
