I rub my hands together. “Sounds good,” I say. “Let’s go over and pretend we have no idea what’s going on, we’ll invite her when she’s done talking to campus police. If we play nice, maybe she’ll feel guilty for trying to screw us over.”

We wait until we see her start to leave before the two of us stroll toward her, aiming for nonchalance. “Oh hey, Tessa,” Devin calls out, pretending to have just spotted her.

“Everything okay?” I ask. “You ran out so fast last night. Did something happen?”

Tessa stares at us for a moment, a frown on her face like she’s got a mental debate going on inside her head. “It was a campus security issue with my dorm,” she says. “It’s all been handled now.”

Devin steps closer. “Sorry to hear that. We missed you when you left.”

“Yeah,” I add, standing in front of her. “We were all hoping for a repeat performance. But maybe you could come to the toy drive fundraiser next week,” I offer.

Tessa blinks at us, narrowing her eyes for a moment. “Are you sure you want me there?” she asks, hesitation etched on her face.

“Absolutely,” Devin assures her. “It’s at the campus café. You can come and get free cookies and coffee as long as you donate a toy.”

A smile starts spreading across her face. “That sounds like fun.”

Devin glances at his watch, concern on his face. “Oh shit, I need to take this stuff back to the frat house so I can get to class. Jace will give you the details but I gotta go,” he says. I hand him the box of supplies I’d picked up and he takes off, waving at us as he leaves.

This leaves me alone with Tessa and she turns to me, eyes wide. “Do you think we could maybe go somewhere and talk?” she asks. “I have something I want to ask you.”

“Uh…” I run my fingers through my hair, trying to decide if I have the energy for this. “Sure, let’s go back to the frat house. I’ve got to organize the supplies anyway.”

We start in that direction, the conversation a little stilted between us. Tessa asks me more questions about the toy drive and I give mostly rehearsed answers, stuff we’ve said to the press before.

Once we’re inside though, things take a turn. It’s as we’re climbing the stairs to my bedroom when I realize I’ve been watching Tessa’s ass from behind, fixated on how good it looks in the high-waisted trousers she’s wearing.

Before I can talk myself out of it, I find myself pinning her to the door, kissing her senseless. We pull apart and I lick my lips as I look down into her eyes, seeing the same lust reflected there.

“Fuck, you were incredible last night,” I say, picking her up around the waist as I continue to kiss and grind against her, holding her up to my bedroom door. “You drive us all crazy. You’re so hot and cold and somehow it never feels like enough.”

“You’re the one drivingmecrazy,” Tessa complains as she tangles her hands in my long hair. “You act so disinterested and then turn on the charm and I’m putty in your hands.”

I smirk, leaning in to nip at her lower lip. “It’s just who I am, sweetheart,” I say, my voice low and rumbling as I grab both of her wrists in one hand and pin them up over her head. “You’re going to grind against me now, and you’re going to get yourself off like this, baby. Understood?”

Tessa makes a little moan of assent and starts rocking her hips against me, her clothed pussy grinding into my covered erection. I’m painfully hard in my jeans but I don’t care. Right now all I care about is drawing more of those delicious, needy sounds from the sexy woman in front of me.

My mouth sucks a mark into her neck before moving back up to leave little kisses along her jaw. She ruts against me, hips working faster now as she leaves wet kisses along the column of my throat.

Our mouths crash together again, seeking each other out and hers opens up for me, letting my tongue invade. We continue kissing, the room quiet save for breathy moans and the soft sound of fabric rustling.

“Oh God, fuck, I’m so close Jace,” she whispers, voice harsh in the quiet. “Don’t stop, oh don’t stop.”

I press her into the door, letting her roll her hips as fast as she wants so my cock is slotted right between her apex, and a high-pitched cry tumbles from her lips as she comes apart underneath me.

“Fuck!’ she cries out and I cover my mouth with hers, swallowing the sound so we don’t disturb any of my brothers who might still be asleep.

Our foreheads press together as we catch our breath, the two of us staring into each other’s eyes. It would be so damned easy to get lost in them, I decide as I gently lower her to the ground.

She moves on shaky legs, reaching for her bookbag from where she dropped it on the carpeted floor. “I should go,” she says, looking like a rumpled, hot, sexed-up mess. “I need to clean up before my next class.”

“You look fine to me,” I tease, enjoying the way she squirms under my gaze.

“It’s embarrassing to be all wet like this,” she whines. My smirk grows wider, proud of the fact that it’s all my fault she’s like this.

“Catch you later then, sweetheart,” I say, giving her one last kiss. She leaves and I lean against my door and smile to myself before it turns into a frown.

Wait a minute. Wasn’t Tessa going to ask me something?
