After sweeping the crowd for a fourth time, I grabbed my coat from the coatroom and yanked it over my shoulders. I gritted my teeth and stormed out into the cold. When I found that brat, I’d punish her for it.

CHAPTERFOUR

HEATHER

“Sierra!”I shouted, slamming open our door and rushing into the apartment.

I couldn’t believe what had just happened, and I needed to tell someone. Anyone. Sierra and Athena were my two closest friends, but Athena didn’t live with us. She was probably with Charlie for movie night again.

“What’s going on?” Athena said from the couch, munching on a Clif Bar.

“What’re you doing here?” I asked. “Where’s Sierra?”

She giggled and stood. “Wow, rude much?”

“You know I didn’t?—”

“I know,” she said with a smile. “I just finished my workout up at Trees Hall and wanted to shower before I headed all the way back to my place. I might or might not have let myself in right before Sierra left to go see some guy.”

Ah, that was right. Sierra had gone down to Radiant tonight to meet a guy that she had been talking to for a while. Just like me … except he was her professor and she had already lost her virginity to him a couple of weeks ago.

After setting my belongings on the counter, I straightened out my clothes. “Well …”

Athena grabbed her water bottle on the counter, looking me up and down. “You look like you’re glowing.”

“I lost my virginity,” I blurted.

“You what?” Athena asked.

“I lost my virginity,” I said, heart racing inside my chest.

“To who?!”

A giggle escaped my mouth. “To maybe … an older man?”

“Like someone who’s eighty?”

“No!” I exclaimed. “Who do you think I am?”

She snickered.

“Like somebody who’s twice my age, not eighty. He’s my father‘s best friend.”

Mouth dropping open, she stared at me through wide eyes. “He’s your what?!”

“Dang, Athena, do you need a hearing aid from all that music you blast during your workouts?” I playfully rolled my eyes at her, my cheeks becoming hotter by the second because it felt so sinful to repeat this out loud. “He’s my father’s best friend.”

God, I couldn’t get the way his hands were all over my body out of my mind. It was like his touch was burned into my skin, his mouth on my neck, his dick buried deep inside me. I wanted it to happen again. And again and again and again.

“Oh my God.” Athena placed her hand on her chest. “We need all the details tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?” I repeated. “Where are you going?”

“It’s movie night with Charlie.”

Of course, but she couldn’t leave me now! I needed someone to gush about all this to, and besides … if Hector was the type of Dom that he had portrayed in all those messages online, then he was probably on his way over to punish me.

And he wouldn’t do anything with Athena here, right?
