Page 104 of The Pact

“Hey,” I whisper with my lips against her temple but she rises on the tips of her toes to kiss me.

Her lips are soft and she tastes like some kind of fruity beverage she must’ve had.

I begin moving away to break the kiss but she tightens her arms around my waist and I feel her tongue teasing at the seam of my lips, demanding entrance.

The kiss is brief but deep and so fucking hot that it goes straight to my cock.

“I missed you,” she says with a strange tone and then I get it. Ausra saw Theresa approach and she’s here to help. One of the others must’ve told her what happened in London.

My hunch is confirmed when she turns to look at Theresa who’s looking at us with an annoyed expression and smiles sweetly. “Oh, sorry. I didn’t see you were speaking to someone.”

Her words hit the intended target because Theresa’s lips tighten in a displeased, flat line.

I can’t resist the temptation to get back at her. “Oh, but where are my fucking manners?” I smile. “Theresa, this is Ausra. My girlfriend.”

The girl’s eyes narrow to two furious slits. “Is that so? If you wanted to tell me to fuck off, Kelley, you could’ve just done that. I’ve seen your girlfriend getting all cozy with Shep earlier. And then with Bode.”

I ignore the venom in her tone and smile at Ausra. “Do you wanna dance, baby?”

Ausra nods and that must be too much for Theresa, who lashes out. “I’d look way less smug if I were you, Audra. All these guys want is a gangbang tonight. But don’t think they’re interested in anything more because as you can see, afterwards they don’t even bother to try being friendly. Tomorrow morning, they’ll move onto their next hookup.”

I chuckle darkly. “Don’t listen to her, Ausra. She’s just bitter because she wasn’t interesting enough that we’d even fucking give her a second thought.”

She raises her voice. “Oh, that’s fucking rich coming from you, Kelley. Or are you salty because I didn’t want you? You were way too cocky and pushy. It was off putting and it came across as desperate.”

I open my mouth to retort something, but Ausra has my back. “The only desperate behavior I see here is yours. What’s your name again? You’ve been hovering around Kelley all day. Just take a hint, girl. You had your chance and you blew it. If I were you, I’d just stop trying before I looked too desperate.”

Damn! Ausra is normally sweet and so kind to everyone that her reaction is totally out of character. But I have to admit that the way she just stood up for me is fucking hot.

Theresa sneers, her eyes flitting between the both of us. “Fuck you both. And when they move on, remember I tried to warn you.”

We watch her storm off and for the first time in ages, I feel lighter. “Hey thank you for coming to the rescue, baby.” I smile, toying with a strand of her long, blonde hair.

She shrugs. “Don’t mention it. I hate mean girls. Plus, you were so tense earlier and I really did miss you.”

I cup her jaw with my hand, drawing her face closer. “I’m sorry. I’ve had some bullshit to deal with at home with my mom and her asshole married boyfriend all week. And you’ll learn that I’m not very friendly on race days. I don’t mean anything bad by it but I try to keep my focus completely on the race.”

She doesn’t look mad and I relax. “Did the others tell you that the winner tonight was gonna call dibs? Is that why you came looking for me?”

Her reply is a little giggle. “Not really. I know you scored highest today overall, but I wanted to talk to you, Kelley.”

She looks worried and that makes me tense up again. “That’s never a good sign. Are you breaking up with me?”

She remains serious. “I can’t break up with you. Not if we aren’t together. You guys said no strings attached, remember?”

That must be it. She wants more and for the first time in a long time, I’m ready to give it to her because I want more too.

“Baby,” I whisper with my lips so close to hers that I can almost taste them, “I’m not worried about labeling this thing between all of us. But I think it’s safe to say that we all might want to play this game for a lot longer than the summer. That’s why we want you at school with us and at every race. Don’t ask me why, Ausra, but we all feel this pull toward you. It isn’t just because we think you’re hot. As I said, I’m not in a hurry to put a label on it but I want to find out what it is. We can still play our game and just see where things go?”

Ok, so maybe not the most romantic declaration in the world but I suck at feelings. I learned that whenever you open up too much, people hurt you. The only ones who never did that are the guys and Nora. Even my own mother exploits my love for her like a weakness. So I don’t tell Ausra that I’m starting to have feelings for her, I just imply it. “Yes.” She whispers and I crush her lips with mine. I’ve been holding back because of the race today. I know there’s team races tomorrow but fuck it. Spending all night thinking about her while she’s with one of the others won’t help my concentration anyway.

“Fuck, your lips are so soft.” I growl, tormenting her bottom lip with my teeth.

She moans softly, drawing me closer with a hand cupping the back of my neck.

My hand finds one of her tits, squeezing the soft flesh, not giving a shit that we’re in the middle of a party and there’s people around us.

A balled up paper napkin hits me on a shoulder. “Get a room you two!” Shep chuckles and you know what? The asshole is damn right. Why am I doing this here where I have to rein myself in when there’s a perfectly private room upstairs where I could rip Ausra’s clothes off?
