Chapter 1

River“It’s so muggy out here!” I whined as I carried a box full of my junk to my Dad’s Toyota 4 Runner.Texas was the worst state to live in during the summer in my opinion. The humidity was gross and sticky, and the inferno-sizzling temperatures only made it worse. Even with a tank top and shorts, I was sweating like a pig.“God, whatever you have baking in the oven, I think it’s done!” I yelled out to the four winds. Dad chuckled behind me.“How many more boxes do you still have left, smalls?” He asked, handing me a bottle of water.“Thanks! About 2 more and I’m done.” I replied, wiping the sweat off my forehead with my shirt. I opened the bottle and gulped the water down, almost choking when I felt it go down the wrong hole. I coughed hard.“That’s what you get for chugging it down like that.” He laughed, patting my back. I gave him a death glare.We walked back into the house heading to my room. Picking up a box, I stopped, and gave my room one last glance, “Nope, I won’t miss it

I don't want River to be pair with Zach, she gave up her virginity to Alec. I prefer a Male Lead to Virginized The Female Lead.

Chapter 2

RiverWe finally made it after 2 hours of driving. We headed out to the apartment on campus, choosing to live in the same complex but having our own space. Well, I did. He was upset at first, but frankly, I just wanted to live a little and feel free. I wanted that single life, you know the one where you should be able to play music out loud, watch T.V., walk around naked, and eat whatever and whenever you want.Two of our good friends Jason and Erica, were also attending UT, but they had dorms. Jason shared a room with a guy and Erica shared one with a girl. I on the other hand was able to afford my apartment because of my mom’s life insurance. Dad put it away for me to use for college. I also had scholarships because your girl here was a smart cookie.Zach was able to afford an apartment because his family was wealthy. So money was never an issue for him. However, Zach is a very smart guy, a genius if you may. He chose to major in Mechanical Engineering just like me. He said watchi

Chapter 3

RiverA few hours later, Zach came by knocking at my door. “It’s me…Z. Open up, babe.” He hollered behind the door.I got up from the floor, looking at my window. I hadn’t realized it was dark outside. How long was I at it?“Hey guys! Come in.” I said, surprised to see Jason and Erica with him as I opened the door.“Nice place, shorty!” Jason said. “Umm hmm! I love it!” Erica chimed. “Too bad you only have one room. Where would I sleep if I wanted to spend the night, Riv?”I cocked an eyebrow, “The couch, E.” I gave her a bored look. She laughed, “Right because we all know you're a bed hogger.” I scowled, “AM NOT!”Zach chuckled, “She ain’t lying, babe. You sleep like the whole bed isn’t enough for you.”“Oh, you shush! What’s up? Whatcha want? Why’d ya come over here for? Ya came to taunt me or what?” I questioned with a hand on my hip. Zach raised his hands in surrender.“Damn, so many questions. Can’t we just visit, just because? Well, if you want to know so bad, food brought me he

Chapter 4

AlecI was walking towards the apartment complex where my boy, Jaylen, lived. I usually hung out with him because the guys at the fraternity house were more on the obnoxious side. He was a calm guy and an introvert. He’s been my friend since we were in High School in Los Angeles.We both wanted to get away from our families. I heard so many things about Texas and searched UT in Austin, becoming fascinated with the photos and reviews. So I made a quick trip with Jaylen here for a week before applying. The hill country is fascinating. We went to the Oasis, the caverns–which I’d never seen before, rivers, lakes, parties, and other cities discovering a whole other world here. Texas should really be a country if you ask me. So, now here we are, living the Texan life.Jaylen was more of a computer whiz and I was athletic. I play football for the Texas Longhorns, as a wide receiver. Jaylen used to play football with me in high school, but he got tired of the beatings and practices. I, on

Chapter 5

AlecI was burning for this girl. Everyone and everything was fading away, even the thundering music dwindled, as if we were the only ones in the room. My lips brushed her cheek and down to her neck, fanning my warm breath as I slowly made my way back up to her ear.I could feel her breathing change. She was turned on. I spread my legs a little wider moving down a bit, so that my shaft was at the level of her bubbly a*s, pressing against her. She surprised me when she pushed her a*s out. Oh, she wants me. She arched her back so that her head rested on my chest. I loved the way she slowed the movement in her hips to grind against my boy.There was no hiding that she liked the feel of my bulge against her sexy a*s. Her cheeks looked a little flustered as the intense sexual feeling became stronger. I removed my hand from her throat and grabbed her chin turning her face towards me. Her eyes almost popped out when she saw me. I was confused. Did she know me? Did she like what she saw? I s

Chapter 6

River The logical side of me was yelling, ‘Think about it! He’s a stranger. You're gonna end up getting hurt. This is your v-card, it’s supposed to be special.’ I squeezed my eyes tightly to drown out my thoughts. Who was I kidding though, I wanted this…and badly. For so long I’ve waited to feel something exhilarating happen in my life. The butterflies I felt with Zach at times, were nothing compared to the swarm of angry hornets in my stomach. His touch, his kiss, the swell of his manhood, and his stare woke up a desire, an arousal within me. Maybe it’s because Zach hasn’t ever tried touching or kissing me. Today I, River Barlowe, ‘the prude’, a name that was given to me by my sexually active friends, was going to lose her virginity to a guy in college, a hot stranger. Yup, me! Now what would they call me? Wait, don't answer that. I’ll deal with the consequences later because I would later have to remind myself that I was doing this out of thirst and want, not out of love. “Rav

Chapter 7

Zach“That’s it!” Looking down at my phone, “It’s 9:24 and she hasn’t contacted me. I’m going over.” I growled at Erica and Jason.“Dude, she must’ve fallen asleep or chickened out. Come on Z, you know River, she doesn’t do parties.” Jason remarked. He’s right, River wasn’t the partying type.“Hey, cutie.” A sweet feathery voice spoke, making me turn around. I frowned when I saw it was the same girl who insulted my girl yesterday. Yeah, I considered River my girl, hence 'babe' my nickname for her. I’ve known her since 3rd grade.Jason is the only one who knows that I am in love with her. We've been friends since 7th grade. I’ve held onto these feelings for so long and never had the guts to tell her. How was it that as soon as a girl would ask me out I would say, “Yes,” not thinking twice about what she would think later on and fool around with them like nothing? Oh, but could never be man enough to confess my love for her. Jason told me once that I would lose my chance to be her boy

Chapter 8

RiverI didn’t know when the movie finished and what time I was knocked out, but so did Zach. I woke up on top of him. I lifted my head and noticed I had slobbered all over his shirt. Great Riv’s!Zach was still asleep and he looked cute. His arms were wrapped around me. I tried to move without waking him up but it was a fail. “Hey gorgeous–” He didn’t finish looking down at his shirt. “What the…were you trying to provide water for the flies?” I hissed and hit his stomach. I had slobbered on his shirt.“Shut. Up. You’re mean. I was tired and it’s not like I can control my mouth when I’m dead asleep you butt!” He started laughing loudly. I loved the sound of his cackle.Suddenly the doorbell rang. “What time is it?” I asked, wondering who was at the door. Zach looked at his watch, “Umm, 10:48,” he responded. “Are you expecting someone?” He asked, irritation evident in his tone.“No, unless it’s J and E,” I got up to go answer the door but yelped from the pain between my thighs. Zach he

Chapter 9

RiverCrap! Crap! Crap!Zach was glaring at me angrily. My blood began to boil, “Stop! I was here last night.” I knew what he was going to ask, his judgy eyes giving it away. “Then why did he ask if your name was Raven? Raven is your bike’s name, Riv’s. How could he possibly know that?” He said, his jaw clenching roughly.Ugh! It’s true though, on the side of my bike and helmet, I have ‘Raven’ spelled out. I composed myself and tried giving him a stern look with a tone that matched. “I don’t know, Z. So many girls here on the campus and you're asking me when I’m new here? You're starting to make me upset by the way you’re questioning me. Any girl could have given that name so call it coincidence, I don’t know…whatever…but you need to stop before I get angry with you.” I hate lying to him. I didn’t feel like I did anything wrong though. It’s my life, my body, my wishes.He kept glaring at me, studying my face. That’s it!!! “Ugh! Get out if you're going–” He quickly pulled me to his

Chapter 10

RiverZach’s knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel. I was nervous but then began to think, why should I feel bad? He's had many girlfriends before. I haven’t had a guy hit on me since forever and the one time someone, who was fridging hot, looked my way and talked to me, Zach dared to act this way.Breaking the silence, I turned to face him, “Why are you acting this way?” I asked in an irritating tone glaring at him. “Like what Riv’s? Like I’m pissed that a guy kissed you?” He said in a low gravelly tone. WHAT!?“Yes. Exactly that. It was on the cheek by the way.” I blew my cheeks out in frustration, “You have no right to act like that! (Gesturing at his disposition.) Let me get this straight…it’s okay for you to have girlfriends, right?! I’ve never said anything or acted differently around you with the girls you dated, Z. Never. One guy finally hits on me and acknowledges me, and you are acting jealous. Pissed off at me for no good reason, behaving stupidly like you ow
