King of Campus Chapter 37: Ivy
With anyone else, it certainly wouldn't be.But with Roan, it feels huge. Monumental.We climb into his truck. Five minutes later, he's sliding into a parking spot near Adler Hall where our class is located. Cutting the engine, he turns to me. Neither of us move to exit the vehicle even though we both need to get to class.A look of nervousness flashes across his face which is completely un-Roan-like. "Grabbing dinner last night was nice." He pauses as if waiting for me to confirm his words. I jerk my head into a nod because he's right, it was nice. "Good." He gives me a brief smile before continuing. "I was kind of, um, thinking we could do it again."My mouth falls open. It almost sounds like he's asking me out. Not that I doubt my hearing, but still, I need him to reconfirm this. "Are you asking me out on a date?"His gaze holds mine. When it seems like he might scrap the idea and start backpedaling, his lips twitch into a grin. "Yeah, I guess I am. I want to ta

Say it ain't so, Roan King... please tell us that whatever is going on with the brunette isn't serious. Give us a tiny glimmer of hope to hold on to. KingOfCampus.comLater that evening, after I return from teaching dance, I hear the low murmur of voices from the TV in the living room and breathe a little sigh of relief that Lexie isn't holed up in her room. Unfortunately, my phone died after French class, so I wasn't able to reach out to her. I hope she's okay.Instead of finding Lexie in the darkened living room, it's Dylan I stumble across. He's sitting in the overstuffed armchair with his head cradled in his hands. From the way he's hunched over, I can tell something is wrong. And Lexie isn't anywhere to be seen.Glancing at her bedroom door, I find it closed.This doesn't bode well at all.I set my bag down and close the distance that separates us before settling on the couch next to the chair. When Dylan doesn't acknowledge my presence, I wonder if he's even aware th

Roan King is playing the best football of his life. Does it have anything to do with the girl he's been linked to? Inquiring minds want to know... KingOfCampus.com"Are you sure you want me to tag along tonight?"Roan slants a look my way. "That depends-does it make you uncomfortable that they're gay?"I drill him with a hard look before rolling my eyes. "Absolutely not. I'm a dancer. Do you know how many gay guys I've worked with?" The answer to that question is-a whole hell of a lot. A cheeky smile blooms across his face as he admits, "I like that you're surrounded by gay men.""They're not all gay." I smirk. That would be a stereotype. An untrue one at that.As we stroll up the sidewalk to his dad's house, Roan yanks me against his chest as his arms snake around me, pulling me close. He growls, "Are you trying to make me jealous?"Even though I want to groan at the feel of all that delicious muscle pressed against me, I shake my head. "Hardly. And I'm not the o

Daniel cuts into my thoughts when he says, "Roan tells us that you're a dancer."I nod. "Yes, I've been dancing since I was three. I'm double majoring in dance and finance."He looks impressed. "Wow, that's quite a combination.""Well," I shrug, "I want to have something to fall back on in case it doesn't pan out. Being a professional dancer is highly competitive. And I've always been interested in business, so it seemed like a good fit.""That's a smart way to approach it. Shoot for your dreams but have a backup plan in place in case it doesn't work out the way you hope it will. And you studied abroad last year?"Feeling like a bobble head, I nod. "I studied at the Conservatoire de Paris for fifteen months.""We were in Paris two years ago on vacation. The architecture is stunning.""Yes." I smile in earnest, feeling a bit more at ease with the flow and direction of our conversation. "It's absolutely beautiful. There's so much to see and do. Cathedrals and gardens.

Well...I tried hooking up with him tonight. Unfortunately, it didn't go so well. But I'm certainly not going to share that little tidbit of information with her. How humiliating...The guy known for his one-night stands won't even fool around with me. It would be comical if I weren't so damn turned on at the moment."No hookup action has taken place. And I have no idea if we are a thing. So, chill on the labels, okay?"Since she's sitting here alone, I'm guessing that Dylan and Lexie haven't worked things out between them. "Have you spoken with Dylan?"Her smile dims before she jerks her head into a nod. "He texted and I told him that I needed more time and space.""Do you feel any better about what happened?"With a sigh, she shrugs. "A little bit, but I'm not ready to jump back into what we had. I didn't realize how serious we had become over the last eight months. I need time to figure out what I want.""Was he understanding about it?" Not all guys would be. Some

There's a huge game coming up this weekend and everyone is expecting Roan King to lead the team to another amazing victory! Tons of people are caravanning to UMass for the game. If you're a true RK fan, you're not going to want to miss this one! KingOfCampus.comI shake off the last remnants of sleep and roll toward Roan who is snoring soundly beside me. Sometime during the night, the sheet slid down so that it only covers the top of his low-slung shorts. The edges of the thin tan cotton are crumpled around his lean hips. Much to my delight, there's nothing but hot naked chest as far as the eye can see. To say that he's gorgeous is an understatement.Every time I stare at him, my heart stutters in response.It's doubtful that I could pull my gaze away even if I wanted to. Since he's still sleeping, I don't have to. I glance at the tips of his inky black hair that has a hint of curl to it to those ridiculously long lashes that are feathered across his cheeks.Seriously...wh

Uh-oh, Roan's new girlfriend better watch her back...some of these bitches have razor sharp claws. Especially when you're messing with their man... KingOfCampus.com"So...not gonna say one damn word about it, huh?" Lexie elbows me in the side as we make our way across campus. We've both finished up with classes for the day and we're going to grab lunch. After that, I need to head over to the studio to work with Eric, one of my dance teachers."There's nothing to say." Unless I mention how hard I'm starting to fall for Roan. Even thinking those words sends a little spasm of pleasure ricocheting through my belly."Oh honey, are you seriously telling me that he spent the entire night in your bed, and nothing happened?" Skepticism laces her voice. Since we're talking about Roan King here, I can't blame her for it. I would be dubious, too.I rub my side where she poked me. That girl can really pack a punch when she wants to. I think she's way too used to elbowing Dylan. "No

Roan King wandering around the fine arts building??? What's up with that? Hmmm...I can only imagine what he's doing there. I have the sneaking suspicion that a certain dancer has something to do with this... KingOfCampus.comEven though this is my fourth year attending Barnett, it's the first time I've stepped foot inside the fine arts building. Ivy said she needed to stay late and work with one of her professors on a solo she's preparing for a show at the end of the semester. Since I finished up practice early, I thought I'd meet her so we could head back to the apartment together. I hate the idea of her walking home alone.I head toward room 105...or maybe it's a studio. I have no clue. Throughout the corridor, there are framed photos of dancers. All the women are long and lean with builds similar to Ivy's. The men are muscular but not in a bulky, football-player-type of way. For a moment, I stop and study one of the posters.Is this the kind of guy Ivy usually goes fo
