I put my fingers over her mouth, stating, "Ivy, stop trying to explain anything. You played the part perfectly. You passed the test. You're one step closer to being a Gamma Sigma Phi. I'm so proud that you were mine up there."

She blinks hard, takes a deep breath, and nods. "You were?"

"Yeah, baby girl. And this outfit..." I slowly lower my eyes, checking her out. "Fuck."

Her expression lights up.

And we're back on track.

I shouldn't be doing this.

Stop being a pussy.

I slide my hand around her waist and turn, tugging her closer. I offer, "Lilly, you did a good job too. Congratulations."

She grins. "Thanks. Ivy, you're not mad at me, right?"

It takes Ivy a second to answer her question. She shakes her head. "No."

Lilly releases a breath, but I know it's fake. She loved every minute of that scene. "I'm glad. I wouldn't want you to be mad, especially because we're going to be sisters for life."

Ivy nods, and I kiss her on the forehead.

"It's time for round two," Avery sings, catching my eye quickly, then redirecting her gaze between Ivy and Lilly.

"What's round two?" Ivy nervously asks.

Avery shrugs. "I don't know. I have to go ask the sisterhood."

"Why don't you know?" Lilly questions.

"That's how tonight rolls, ladies. I'll be right back." She steps in front of Ivy again and grabs her hand. She pins her admiring expression on her and softens her voice. "You really were amazing up there."

Ivy swallows and then softly replies, "Thanks."

Avery squeezes her hand and then leaves the room.

I kiss Ivy again, trying to make her forget what just happened so she's ready for the next portion of the evening.

It'll change her life forever.

That's the game.

I shouldn't let her do this.

Marcey and Cindy come into the room. Cindy cheers, "Bravo!"

"Yeah, that was fucking hot," Marcey declares.

"Well, I'm glad I pleased you ladies," Lilly chirps.

Bobby reiterates, "Oh, you pleased us all right. Every dick in that room was hard."

Ivy shifts on her feet.

I tug her closer and murmur in her ear, "Every dick in that room was hard knowing they can't have you because I do."

She turns toward me, her face flushing deeper, and gives me her innocent smile.
