“I mean,hello, right?”

I shake my head, laughing. “What do you mean?”

She arches a brow at me. “What do I mean? I mean it’s fuckinghuge.”

I swallow as my eyes dart to the magazine, my face burning red. Okay, it’sbig, but the thing is, the one I saw, and felt, andsucked, and got fucked by earlier tonight?

…Well, Oliver Bard ismuchbigger than the porn cock on the cover of Double-D Dick-Suckers.

“Yeah, I guess.”

Kempton rolls her eyes. “Right, I forgot you’ve never seen one.”

I blush, saying nothing as I crawl into bed.

“Hey, look at me.”

“Huh?”

I turn, and immediately regret it as I see Kempton’s green eyes burning into me suspiciously.

“Wait, why do you look like you just got laid?”

I laugh, quickly.

…too quickly, and Kempton catches it. Her eyes light up, and her jaw drops as she stares at me.

“You dirtybitch!” she gasps.

“Kemp, no, it’s… you’re way off.”

“Bullshit I am! You littleslut!”

My brow furrows. “Fuck off, Kempton.”

She rolls her eyes, waving me off. “Oh, calm down, I just mean I’m impressed! I meanyou, getting laid? I wonder who—”

Her eyes suddenly light up even brighter, and shestaresat me.

“No.Fucking.Way.”

“Kempton—”

“ProfessorBard?!” She gasps, and my face goes white as I violently shake it side to side

“Kempton,no,” I say quickly, swallowing the lump in my throat. “No, absolutely no—”

“Hey Ana?”

I pause, swallowing again as I force myself to look at her. Kempton smirks

“You’re a shitty liar, for the record.”

“Kempton, I didnotsleep with Professor Bard!”

“Uh-huh,” she drawls, eying me. “Whatever you say.”

“Well, that’s what I say,” I mutter, turning away and yanking the covers up over me.
