I snuggle into the warmth, and I don’t want to wake up yet.
A pair of muscular arms wrap around me as David’s husky voice asks, “Are you awake, love?”
I refuse to open my eyes as I nod my head. “Yeah, but I was hoping to enjoy this a bit longer.”
A soft chuckle rumbles around in his chest and slips from his mouth. “I will not say anything but only remind you that your friends are coming over and studying here today. I’m not sure exactly what time you had agreed upon, but it is getting a little late.”
Wait. What?
I don’t look at the clock as I nearly catapult out of the bed and run towards the bathroom completely naked. However, it is more of a slight hobble as my body still aches from our passionate session last night.
I stop momentarily in front of the sink and take a second to admire David’s artwork all over my body, except for my neck and any other place that is easily visible.
I meet his questioning look with a smirk.If he is trying to keep our relationship a secret from his friends, he is doing a very poor job at it. Luckily, for him, his friends seem to be rather dense. On the other hand, my friends are rather smart and have already figured it out. However, I made them promise not to let Alex know.These secrets are really driving me crazy, but it is all worth it when I look at Alex’s cute face.How can someone be so cute?Flustered, Alex quickly turns his focus back to his books, but it is already too late. Both Kai and Brandon have seen him and are silently laughing next to me.As we turn back toward the TV and the paused video game, I whisper, “Guys, don’t do that. Can’t you see Alex is on the verge of running. If you push him too much, he will run away from me. I don’t want that.”Brandon, while still silen
I glance across the pond at the couples along the other side of the shore. The guys are snuggling up close to their girl, while the girls smile and nestle into their boyfriend’s side.Can I ever have something like that?David’s smirk and wink from last night comes rushing back to me as my heartbeat quickens and my stomach flutters. The playfulness in his eyes had me moaning and begging for more after everyone left.I lick my lips as my body remembers the feel of him pressed against me and his hungry lips devouring every part of me.I need to stop thinking about him. I shift on the ground as I scan along the shore.However, my mind keeps coming back to the same question. Can I ever have something like that?The scorching sun beats down upon me as I mull over the question and the other aspect of it which I’m avoiding. Does the answer mean I would have a girl by my
I finish putting all my things back into my bag and check my watch. Shit. It is late.I fish my phone out of my pocket to call Alex and grumble under my breath. It is dead.Shit. This is bad.Unfortunately, I’m the only one here because I was trying to get ahead in my labs so I could spend the next few days with Alex alone in his apartment before the bet is over. I want to make sure he is addicted to me before those nasty girls throw themselves at him again.I shove my phone back into my pocket and rush out the door.My heart pounds as I run through the hallways and out of the building. The only thing running through my mind now is whether Alex even knows I’m not there yet.However, my heart sinks when I reach the parking lot and spot a flat tire on my motorcycle.Shit. This isn’t my night.No phone and no way to get anyo
I pace back and forth beside my bed.I had tried to go to sleep earlier, but I couldn’t stop worrying about David. He always calls and tells me when he is going to be late.I run my hand through my hair and sigh.Did Kai tell him about the girl earlier? Is David mad at me? What am I going to do to make him come back to me?I grab the clock off the nightstand.Shit. It is late. Where is he?I suddenly stop when I hear a faint noise.Is he home?I slam the clock back down on the nightstand and swirl around. I dash towards the door, but in my haste, I slam my toe against the corner of the bed.“OWWWWW!!!!!”I fall onto the bed as tears well up in my eyes. I cradle my foot in my hands as I rock back and forth.Damn it. I think I broke my toe.As I look at my red toe, which is already ch
I glance beside me at Alex as he hobbles his way across the parking lot to the medical building.A faint smile dances along my face as I tighten my grip around both book bags slung over my shoulder.He takes a few more steps before he grunts and whips his head around towards me. His eyes narrow while he shoots daggers at me. “I told you I can manage crutches and my bag. I’m not completely helpless, you know.”I flash him a cheesy smile. “I know what you said, but I want to make sure you do nothing else to hurt yourself. You are lucky you didn’t break more bones. You…”He stops suddenly and, while teetering on one foot, he glares at me. “I broke my toe and cracked a few other bones. It freaking hurts like hell even with the pain medicine. This stupid boot is itchy and uncomfortable, but it isn’t stopping me from getting to my classes.&nb
These last few days have been great. Even though I act all upset and irritated with David, my heart is soaring high with all the attention he is giving me. Not to forget the amazing sex each night, which he is always very careful to not hurt my foot. I still can’t believe I hurt my foot like that. I’ve never been like this before. Rushing to try and get to someone has never been my thing. Luckily, the bet is finally over. A part of me is excited that I don’t have to worry about it anymore, while another part of me is sad that I won’t need David anymore to fulfill my sexual needs. I’m free to go find a girl or two to satisfy me. However, whenever I think about being with a girl now, a pain shoots right through my heart. What in the heck is going on? My head is so messed up right now. I hobble along the sidewalk as my mind tries desperately to make sense of every
A smile spreads across my face as his question repeats in my mind.I know exactly what I’m going to do.I turn towards Brandon. “Help me up. I have somewhere to be.”He flashes a smile at me and quickly gets up.As he helps me up, he chimes, “If you need any help, please let me know. Okay. David is one of my best friends, and I would do almost anything to see him happy all the time.”I steady myself against the tree while Brandon grabs my crutches and hands them to me. “I promise not to do anything that would hurt him.” I pause for a second. “However, if he hurts me first, I can’t keep that promise.”He shakes his head while he grins from ear to ear. “Don’t worry. David won’t do anything to hurt you.”My heart races at his words and hope he is correct.I hobble as fast as I
Angry rushes through me as I rip Bridget’s hand from around my neck and shove her away.As soon as her nasty lips are free from mine, I wipe my lips with the back of my hand, trying to remove anything she may have left behind, including her ugly orange lipstick.I narrow my eyes and glare at her as I hiss, “What the hell, Bridget. I just told you I wasn’t interested.”Her cocky smile disappears as hurt flashes through her eyes. “You have always been interested before.”I wipe my lips again. The back of my hand has more of her lipstick as I growl, “I was only interested in you one time. Then you turned into this clingy, demanding witch. I was going to let you get by with the quick peck on the cheek, but I’m not going to after that brazen kiss.”Kai nudges my arm. “Uhm, David, I think you have bigger problems now.”I whip my head a
