“Spooning over so soon?”

I’m amused at the tone in her voice, considering the first time we hooked up, she left me standing with my dick out in an alley. “The folks who prowl the campus at night will be making their rounds soon. I don’t think you want them to see you like this.”

“Why not?” She asks, climbing to her feet. “I’m freshly fingered and cute.”

She’s got crusted semen on her chin.Mycrusted semen on her chin, and she’s right. She looks stunning wearing the evidence of my arousal on her face, but I don’t want anyone else seeing her this way.

When she’s done fixing her clothes, she takes a step away, putting distance back between us. It’s good. We need it, because nothing good can come of this. Maybe now that I’ve shot my load, I’ll be able to focus. “Come on, I’ll make sure you get back to the dorm safely.”

“I can protect myself.”

“I know.” I scrub a hand through my hair. “Me escorting you makes sure everyone else stays safe.”

“From me?”

“From me. I meant what I said about Austin’s arm.”

“That’s the most fucked up shit I’ve ever heard. I don’t need a bodyguard, and what I do with the guys on this campus doesn’t have shit to do with you.”

“You shouldn’t be doing anything with anyone on this campus.”

“Except for you?”

“Especially me.” The reality of our situation fully sets in. “We shouldn’t have done this.”

She takes another step away and I see the last wall slamming into place between us. “Fine by me. As far as I’m concerned, it never happened at all.”

She walks away without looking back.

Holden

Icanceled our eight am statistics class and sent an alert to everyone’s phone except Thea’s. It’s time for us to have a little chat about her redecorating our rooms. I’m in my seat when she walks into class. A few minutes later, Finn enters, closing and locking the door behind him. She stiffens but makes no move to leave.

“Will the head Coxsucker be joining us?”

I love that she’s putting on a brave face. It just reinforces my theory that she’d be the perfect prey. Finn hops onto the teacher’s desk and bites into the Granny Smith apple he’s holding before saying, “We didn’t invite him to this little meeting.”

“And why is that? Are you two staging a mutiny? I approve.”

Her head whips around when I say, “We wanted you all to ourselves.”

She struggles to hide the surprise on her face. It’s there every time I talk to her. She studies my face, waiting to see if I’ll say more. I usually let Finn or Pax do all the talking, but I enjoy watching the way her face changes and her eyes brighten when I do. I’m just out of practice holding conversations with girls.

I want to tell her we’re doing this without Pax because he doesn’t want her the way I do, the waywedo, because I have to consider Finn’s stake in this. He was always vocal about how much he wanted Thea. This will be the first time I express an interest in the same girl. We may have shared women, but I never wanted those women when it was over.

“Wanted me, so you could do what hurt me? Punish me?”

Finn cocks his head to the side. “Did you do something that has earned you a punishment, Pet?”

“In the nineteen years I’ve been on this planet? Plenty.”

“Eighteen.” I correct. “The eighteen years you’ve been on this planet.”

She mulls that over and a small smile flits across her lips. It’s quick, then gone. “What were you just thinking about?”

She scowls at me. “Nothing.”
