The Wedding Guests

She slammed that door as well.

For a little while the sound from downstairs was a little muted with Noah knowing she was in a bad mood and not wanting to disturb her.

For her, Ashlei just lay on the bed with her arms crossed beneath her large breasts, fuming, and running over everything in her mind.

She was mad at Noah more than she ever had been. And Logan. Because she knew what he would be like the whole day at the wedding. Let alone before. She felt trapped. She knew there was nothing she could do but go now, but she wasn't going to let Noah get away with it so easily. He would know how pissed off she was by the time she was done!

Spending an hour or so upstairs, Ashlei began to, not really cool off, but focus and accept her situation. The day was going to be terrible anyway. It might as well be terrible with Logan there to make it worse. And Noah, he would pay for making her go through it while he sat at home having the time of his life. On the computer, no doubt. It wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't promised her he would go with her! But he had!

After another hour passed Ashlei had calmed down quite a bit, though she was still mad. She heard the front door bang shut and then someone coming up the stairs. As the door opened to let Noah in Ashlei turned over on the bed so that her back was towards him. Noah leaned over and kissed her on the top of her head, to which Ashlei didn't respond, and then stripped and climbed into bed.

The room was silent and foreboding as night descended, and Ashlei finally fell asleep without a single word to her boyfriend. Oh yes, he was going to know she was pissed at him.

- - -

Almost a week later things had improved between the loving couple. That was unless any mention of Logan or the wedding came up. Noah did his best to avoid the subject like a wise man, but he often slipped up without thinking and Ashlei's face turned into a thunderhead.

Even so the pair soon got back to a reasonably loving relationship. That was until the day before the wedding. Ashlei was already feeling apprehensive about the following day, which made her mad once again, but it was the fact that today of all days Logan had come over to hang out with Noah again and that reminded the beautiful blonde that she had to spend the next two days with the guy - the next day travelling and the wedding, and the following day after coming home. That put her mood even further down the drain and she couldn't help but take it out on the person who was responsible for it all; Noah.

So she had spent the majority of the day upstairs in their bedroom fuming. That was until she heard the laughter and joking downstairs.

Ashlei couldn't help but wonder what those two had to be so happy about when she had to be pissed off. After all, it was Noah's fault all this was happening and Logan was just an ass and was probably enjoying it all. That soured her mood even further. And so she lay on the bed with her back against the headboard and her arms folded beneath her breasts.

That suddenly flickered something into her mind. The two guys were downstairs having a good time while she was up here essentially sulking! Not only did Noah not pay attention to that and think of her - why would he now after what he'd already done!? - but Ashlei couldn't help but wonder why she should be spending the day being miserable when they weren't!?

For a little while that thought flittered through her head. Finally, after a few minutes, Ashlei unfolded her arms and slapped the bed either side of her.

"If they're going to have fun, I should too." She muttered to herself and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.

Pushing herself up she walked over to the window and took a look outside, placing her hands on her hips. Now she just had to decide what that meant. She had no idea at first until the warmth of the sun began to soak through the window and bathe her bare legs. Her over-large white t-shirt that she slept in hung to her mid-thigh and the sun felt pleasant against her body, and barely tolerable through the glass. That was when the idea struck.

She would sunbathe today. That was de-stressing and nice, she would do that while the guys had their fun. That way she wouldn't have to hear them and she wouldn't be anywhere near Logan. Or Noah, thinking of that. She didn't want to see her boyfriend right now either.

Yes. A nice day sunbathing would be perfect for her to forget about tomorrow and today and put her in a better mood. At the very least she deserved that.

With that thought in mind, Ashlei smiled at the sun and then turned away from the window, padding over to the wardrobe. She had already had her shower, and she would likely have another one after sunbathing, and so she opened the wardrobe and began digging through her clothes.

Pulling out what she sought, Ashlei closed the wardrobe and turned around to the bed. Without even thinking of the open window she reached down to pull her t-shirt up and over her head, flinging it towards the chair where she usually left it for the night ahead.

Naked, except for her underwear, Ashlei flicked her fingers into the waistband of her panties and began to push them down. Wiggling a little to help her undress, the beautiful blonde stepped out of her underwear and picked them up. Tossing them into the wash bin she turned her attention to the bed and what she had laid out there.

Picking up her bikini bottoms, Ashlei stepped one foot through them and then the other before sliding them up her long, smooth legs and settling them around her hips. The thong bikini bottoms nestled lightly against her waist a little, but mostly they held to her hips as they covered her pussy barely.

Next she picked up the bikini top. Sliding her arms through the loophole of the straps she pulled the top to her chest and reached behind her to hook the two halves together. Then she settled the cups over her large 34D breasts and rearranged the arm straps and the back strap until she felt comfortable.

Now she was ready. But she still had to walk through the house with Logan and Noah, and the latter didn't deserve a show and the former made her sick to think about. So she reached down to pick up the last item of clothing on the bed; a large, white t-shirt with the Pink Floyd album cover on the front. Pulling it over her head she settled the baggy, low-cut t-shirt over her hips so that it hung to mid-thigh and covered her completely from shoulders to legs.

Turning to look at herself in the mirror she smiled. She still looked good even though she was hidden beneath what was essentially a lowish-cut, thin blanket. Despite its dipping neck not even a hint of cleavage could be seen, though the thin, white fabric hung from her big breasts but there was nothing she could do about that.

She looked good and yet she was hidden from Noah and Logan until she made it outside. What better way to let her boyfriend know she was mad at him than not letting him get a sneak preview of her in her suit?

Tying her long, blonde hair up in a ponytail, Ashlei reached for some sunglasses, put them on, and then found a towel and some sunscreen and headed for the bedroom door.

The laughter and talking suddenly became more real as it loudened when she walked out to the hallway. This was why Ashlei trod carefully and quietly as she made her way to the stairs and down. She didn't want to alert the two to her until she had to. That and she wanted to know what they were talking about.

It was just stupid guy stuff, it turned out, but still Ashlei gently made her way downstairs and towards the lounge. Once she reached the door she pretended like she hadn't been sneaking and barged right into the room, as if unconcerned. The talking ceased as if cut by a knife.

"Hey babe!" Noah announced as she walked in and he saw her.

It took her boyfriend a moment to notice what she was wearing but when he did his eyes widened. No doubt he thought she was still in her bed clothes, but wisely he didn't say anything. He just looked to Logan whose face had gone from a wide smile to a leering grin.

"Hey." Ashlei replied nonchalantly, as if she was neither mad nor bothered by anything in the world. But not particularly friendly either.

"Hey Ash!" Logan joined in, his eyes travelling to her bare legs and then back up to her face. He couldn't see anything else clearly and Ashlei was suddenly glad for the t-shirt.

Smiling slightly, almost frostily, in return as her way of replying, Ashlei turned her attention quickly to her boyfriend as he spoke up again. All the while she could feel Logan's eyes on her. In front of her boyfriend too!

"What you up to?" Noah asked, clearly nervous about what he thought she was wearing and who was there. And speaking without any tact whatsoever.

"Oh, I just thought I'd go and catch some rays while you two are busy." She answered neutrally.

Logan's eyes lit up at that, but he still couldn't see any more of her. So he just contented himself to sip on his beer and look over at her pretty face.

"Oh!" Noah exhaled, almost palpably relaxing as he suddenly realised why she was dressed as she was. Her dislike for Logan was well known to him. Which made his stupid bet even worse. "That's a great idea. I might join you later."

"No need. You two have fun." Ashlei said dismissively and began to pad her way towards the kitchen and back door. Saying no more just emphasised the curtness of her response, and this time Noah seemed to notice it.

"Oh. Ok. Erm. We'll be here if you want us though." He said a little offishly. Clearly he knew she was in a bad mood but why and who at he didn't know. He probably thought it was because of Logan. Which it was, a little. But most of it was him.

"Ok." Ashlei replied unemotionally. "Have fun."

She couldn't help but keep a little tartness in her voice as those two words came out. So she still felt more than a little peeved that her boyfriend could have fun with his best 'friend' after making that stupid bet for tomorrow. But why shouldn't she?

Damn she needed to be away from these two quickly and outside. She was going to slam something if she spent any more time around them.

That was when it happened.

As she headed towards the kitchen, Logan spoke up.

"Hey, Ash. Seeing as you're going to the kitchen, would you mind bringing me another beer?" He asked calmly. And arrogantly.

Ashlei immediately froze, her back going straight and her eyes widening. Luckily for the two guys neither of them could see her face. It was a mask of indignation and fury.

The cheek of the guy!

"Oh that's a good idea. Me too, babe. If you don't mind that is?" Noah had the decency to ask rather than demand, but he still sided with his 'friend's' request instead of her, knowing she wasn't too happy and that she didn't like Logan. That put him just slightly ahead of his douchebag associate in her books.

Taking a deep breath, Ashlei suppressed a shudder. But she still didn't look back as she replied.

"Anything else?" She asked with a dangerously soft voice.

Both of them said 'no' and she stalked off into the kitchen to grab the refrigerator handle. Opening the door a little too harshly, everything rattled inside, she grabbed two cans of beer and then almost slammed the door shut.

Visibly calming herself - she didn't want either of the guys to see she was angry. At least, not shaken angry. Just displeased. Especially Noah. - Ashlei walked back through to the lounge and padded around in front of Noah.

She leaned over to place his can on the table in front of him and avoided looking at him, her face stone-like and blank.

"Thanks, babe." Noah said softly and caringly, but Ashlei didn't respond. She was too close to lashing out at him to say anything right then.

Straightening and turning, she made her way over to the table in front of Logan as Noah reached for his can and began fussing over it. Obviously sensing her mood and not wanting to bother her.

This time, however, as she bent down to place the can on the table, Logan's eyes widened as much as his grin and he flicked his eyes down and then back up to hers.

"Nice globes!" He said suddenly, and too quietly for Noah to hear.

For a moment Ashlei had no idea what he meant but then his eyes flickered down again and she looked down. Her t-shirt hung down, and the lowish-cut neckline hung open, revealing her large 34D tits for him to see in her bikini top.

A flash of embarrassment zipped through the hot girlfriend before red-hot fury overtook it. How dare he! Right in front of her boyfriend too!

This time Ashlei couldn't keep her face neutral and she glared at her boyfriend's best 'friend'. She opened her mouth to scold him with all the fury she felt, when she suddenly became aware of her boyfriend and how he hadn't been able to hear what had been said.

Why she should feel any reluctance then when she was mad at her boyfriend too, she didn't know, but that hesitation brought Logan's eyes back to hers. He grinned and reached for his beer, leaning back, and just like that the moment to say something had passed as he spoke up again.

"Thanks, Ash." He said, this time loud enough for Noah to hear.

All Ashlei could do was glower at him as she quickly straightened, something that amused the man so much that his smile turned into silent chuckling. She couldn't do anything else without further showing herself out of sorts, and so she turned and stalked away, saying nothing to either of them as she headed towards the kitchen.

"Thanks again, babe!" Noah called after her in a desperate bid to smooth things over as he could tell she wasn't pleased, though why still escaped him.

This time Ashlei didn't listen, she just walked purposefully into the kitchen. Once she reached the back door she took a hold of the handle, and before she ragingly pulled the door off its hinges to open it, she took a deep breath.

She shouldn't be surprised that Logan had done what he had. He was Logan after all. But she was angrier. And it was no excuse for him to behave like that, especially in front of her boyfriend! But he had caught her off guard after she had planned so well to be protected from him. And that just fuelled her fire even more.

And this was the guy her sweet, loving boyfriend had sent her away with for two days! Even though Noah had no idea what his friend had done, still, how could he!?

Still, Ashlei thought to herself as she stood looking out at the sunny back yard, she shouldn't let him bother her too much. She was away from him now and he was always this way. It was no excuse, but it wasn't like she should have expected much more from him. Now she had her space and she didn't have to bother with him. The two boys were going to have their fun so she would too. And she wouldn't let Logan Reid of all people ruin the rest of her day! She had enough of that to look forward to tomorrow.

And so, turning the handle she opened the door more calmly than she felt and stepped outside. The air was hot and clear, and the sun beat down beautifully on the yard, and immediately Ashlei felt the anger smooth away from her as a gentle breeze drifted lazily across the grass, caressing her hair.

She walked over and lay down on one of the sun-chairs, spreading the towel beneath her and pulling her t-shirt over her head before she gently began applying lotion to her sexy body. When ready she closed the lotion and leaned back, closing her eyes, and letting the sun soak into her.

For quite some time she lay there, the weather and the breeze easing her out of her current mood until she felt positively light. She forgot all about the next day, Noah, and Logan, and just relished the hot sun and the feel of the warmth on her skin.

Time passed without Ashlei being aware of it, and soon she began drifting off in a meditative state, unaware of what was around her as much as everything that had happened or was going to happen the next day. She felt at peace. Happy. Perfectly comfortable.

...And then a wolf whistle came from her side.

Opening her eyes in surprise, Ashlei looked up. Holding her hand over her eyes as she suddenly couldn't see anything, she waited until the shade focused her vision and then her stomach lurched. It was Logan. Staring down at her...ogling her in her bikini as she lay before him...grinning widely, like a pleased jerk.

"Logan?" She asked surprised, and not in a good way.

"It's all me, Ash." He replied arrogantly, and then added lasciviously as his eyes travelled down and up her body, "And it's all you!"

Ashlei instinctively reached for her t-shirt, but then she remembered that she had took it off and lay on it, and so she just fidgeted and rested her hand on her chest in a feeble effort to cover herself. It only emphasised her large breasts even more.

"What are you doing out here!?" She asked nervously. His eyes once more ate her tits and legs before returning to shine hungrily at her face.

"Noah had to use the bathroom, so I thought I'd see how you were doing. Glad I did now." He responded with a deeper, more lecherous grin.

"Yeah, but why are you here with me? Why not wait in the lounge? He won't be long!" Ashlei asked, sounding more flustered by the second as she tried to cover her chest while seeming not to.

"And I won't be long either. Just thought I'd check on you." Logan answered, "Noah can't fault me for that."

For a moment the pair remained silent, and once more Logan's eyes took in all of Ashlei's beauty from head to foot.

"Well quit ogling me! I'm your best friend's girlfriend!" Ashlei demanded suddenly, losing all pretence of not being flustered. Her hands weren't nearly big enough to cover her glorious tits, but she tried.

Logan being Logan, those words didn't phase him in the slightest. He just folded his arms and stood staring down at her face as she lay with her sunglasses on hiding her eyes. Luckily the heat of the sun had warmed her flesh and so he couldn't tell that she was blushing furiously.

"I'm just appreciating beauty." He said confidently, "Nothing wrong with that. And you are all sorts of hotness, Ash."

His eyes wandered over her body once more and Ashlei could have slapped the guy as her anger at being an object began to surface.

"Well don't! You're supposed to be Noah's best friend. Cut it out!" She demanded a little more acerbically and settled for resting her hands on her chest, fingers spread out, to cover as much of her exposed breasts as possible.

Logan just laughed softly and grinned down at her.

"I can't not appreciate a hot woman when I see her. I'm just a hot-blooded guy, after all." He said in response. Calm. Collected. Egotistical. "Besides, you looked like you could use some company. And you're much better to be around than Noah."

Ashlei almost gaped at the man. He was being more forward than he had ever been with her! And he was being derogatory to Noah as well. She had never heard him do that before! Granted she was wearing less around him than she ever had before too, but that didn't give him licence to treat her like a piece of meat!

The odd thing was she didn't know what to say to that. He was being completely different around her, like a horn dog but more so! And it took her by surprise.

Luckily for Ashlei she didn't need to think of what to say. Logan knew instead.

"Would you like me to rub some lotion on you? I'm good at it. Better than Noah, anyway." He said with as much double entendre in it as could be stoked into a sentence and not be blatant.

Ashlei did gape then. She stared up at him silently, mouth a little open as all she could do was let out a sound of disgust. He couldn't mean what she thought he meant. Could he? Not even Logan was that brash. Was he?

"I'm fine, thanks. I've already put some on." Ashlei responded when she could finally get the words out.
