“Good morning, Pet.” I purr against her ear. I make note of the slight shiver that runs through her before she stiffens and turns to face me. It’s the same reaction she had when we were pressed together in the alley. Her face and mouth say go away, but her body says come closer.

“Do I know you?”

I squint my eyes, trying to figure out what she’s playing at. “Oh, I get it. You’re trying to pretend the other night didn’t happen. There’s no need to be shy. Rubbing your ass against me was a totally natural reaction. It doesn’t have to be weird or anything. In fact, I think it’ll make our next movie date even better.”

“I’m not pretending anything. I just don’t want to deal with the second hand embarrassment of being seen talking to someone with so little to offer.”

“Little?”

She flicks her eyes towards my waistband. “That’s right. They should warn a girl in orientation that this school is full of little dick men.”

I flash her a grin. “Oh, Pet, you were simply standing too far away when you saw me. I promise objects are much bigger than they appear.” I slip an arm across her shoulder. “How about we run back upstairs and I show you?”

She looks around and says, “There’s nobody out here with a magnifying glass to spy on us. I think it’s safe for you to whip it out right now.”

“Right, here?”

“Yup.”

“Right, now?”

“Absolutely.”

Oh, my little pet has no idea what she’s just dared me to do. I’d have thought the incident in the alley with Mikey might have traumatized her. Made her wary of seeing any more dicks any time soon. I guess I was wrong.

I give her another minute to back out. I know public exhibition isn’t a lot of girl’s thing. She just stands there, waiting expectantly. I drop my bag and unbutton the fly of my jeans. She still doesn’t freak out or tell me to stop. I get to the third button and flick the sides of my waistband down to make the opening level with my cock.

The doors to the dorm hiss open behind me and Pax’s voice, cuts into my fun, demanding to know, “What’s she done this time?”

“Nothing, yet. Hopefully, we’re about to change all that and the answer will be me.”

Thea’s looking at me, still waiting, like we’re playing chicken and she thinks she’s gonna win. My boxers are exposed. I gesture towards my junk. “Shall I go on?”

She pulls out her phone, flicks on the flashlight, and arches her brow, silently communicating for me to continue. Thank, god. I want to flash her so badly, I can taste it. Then I’ll let her taste it.

“Knock it off, Finn.” Pax snaps, coming to stand next to me. He scowls down at her, trying to scare her off. “We’ve got shit to do.”

“Can’t it wait? This is way more fun.” I really wanna see how far she’s willing to take this.

“No, it can’t.”

Uh, oh. I know that tone. I look over at my friend. He’s sporting his pissed off at the world frown. There’s no way I’ll be able to enjoy this moment with him sucking the fun out of the air. With a heavy sigh, I rebutton my pants. “Sorry, Pet. We’re gonna have to finish this later. Tonight at one am work for you?”

She blinks, trying to keep up with the topic shift. “Uh, no.”

“You’re right, we should get started earlier, so we have time for round two. I’ll see you at midnight.” I fall into step with Pax and call out. “Don’t wait up. I’ll just let myself in.”

This is a great start to the day. Why’s he in such a funky mood already? “What’s up with you?”

Pax turns the question back on me. “Me? What’s up with you? We always meet in the lobby if we don’t ride down together and today I come down and find you outside with her. Stripping.”

“Nothing wrong with getting a little naked.”

“There is when the person you’re getting naked with isher.”

I shrug, dismissing his grumbling. I was waiting. They took too long. Geez. Dramatic ass. “I was just having a bit of fun. You should try it. You don’t have nearly as much fun as you used to.”

“We’ll have fun once we’re initiated into The League. Until then, we have work to do, and that doesn’t include flashing our new neighbor. We’re not here to make friends with her, Finn. We’re trying to find out her secrets and break her. Holden, back me up on this.”
