Page 92 of Obsessed with my Temptation

As usual, though, I’d gotten caught up talking to people, and even if I was getting better at blowing people off without feeling guilty about it, it was a work in progress.

One I hoped wouldn’t cost me my surprise.

But in the end, it didn’t matter, because Travis had finished early and I saw his muscled form coming toward me from the other side of campus.

Walking over grass and a huge smile on his face, he looked radiant. The sight of Travis made my heart flutter and my cheeks heat with delight becausefuck, that was my boyfriend.

And I didn’t care who knew.

No, I wantedeveryoneto know.

Which was why I jogged, cutting the last feet separating us, and Travis caught me in a soul-searing kiss.

“You ruined my surprise,” I said, tugging at his hair.

I could feel students’ stares pointed our way, but I ignored them.

Right now, I didn’t care.

“Dude got impatient to see you. Hope that impatience doesn’t give you problems in bed, man.”

That was Andy, coming in behind Travis and grinning at me. “Don’t I get a kiss, too?”

Travis glared at him. “Not if you don’t want a kiss from my fist after.”

Andy mumbled something about melodramatic boyfriends under his breath before saying. “You don’t scare me anymore, bad boy. Not after I’ve seen how mushy you get for your beau.”

Travis had been about to say something else, but another figure appeared.

“If it isn’t the strangest couple on the whole campus. Looking as lovesick as ever, I see.”

Henry Campbell.

His long toffee-colored hair shone in the sun, backpack over his shoulder, a small grin on his lips. Travis’s arm around my waist tightened at the sight.

“I’ll say I would never have bet on the two of you working out, but I’m glad I was wrong.”

Travis watched him closely, as if waiting for the other shoe to drop, but nothing else came.

“You still haven’t told me what I owe you for that save.”

Right.

Because Henry, Heartbreaker and unofficial college King in the shadows, didn’t do favors for free.

“I want nothing from you,” he told Travis, then to me, “Nor from you. But don’t worry. Just be happy I was feeling charitable.”

There was something he wasn’t saying here, but he didn’t elaborate. Andy and Travis watched the junior with stern expressions, but didn’t question him either. Henry was impassive to the two boxers staring him down and instead looked steadily somewhere behind me. His jaw ticked before he told Travis and Andy, “Congrats on graduating. See you around.”

And he was gone.

“Not graduated yet, but okay.” Andy watched him leave with a suspicious expression.

“What was that about?” Antony asked, suddenly showing up beside me.

He was here with Eliot, Jonathan, and Dan, who were joining us for some quick lunch at the cafeteria before going to Travis’s and Andy’s to celebrate the end of finals and hang out.

I told him what Henry had said, and my best friend kept looking in the direction Henry had disappeared.
