Page 77 of The Shake Off

“Why are you here, anyway?” asked Parker from the comfort of his kitchen stool where he’d been watching me flail about, but hadn’t once bothered to get up and help.

Don’t worry, I noted it for the next time he neededmyassistance.

“I’m not here. I forgot something before and had to come back for it,” I replied, sprinting into my bathroom where, hiding on the countertop behind a bottle of aftershave, was the little black box I’d ordered on rush delivery yesterday.

According toCosmo, it contained the most powerful bullet vibrator on the market. It had been awarded five explosive emojis in a survey of vibrators. Ten thousand readers had voted, so I figured it was good enough to try out, and hopefully the person I intended to use it on was waiting for me at her place in that cute little sleep number I enjoyed. Or maybe in some of those panties she liked to parade about in every morning, the ones which always had me desperate to drag her back to bed.

There was always a chance she’d play the ‘I-forgot-you-were-coming-over’ game, and answer the door with a yawn and a loud huff, but it only took me a minute to wake her up. Especially if that minute involved my lips on her neck.

Fuckme.

My dick thumped at the idea of her splayed out beneath me while I pinned her thighs apart with mine, and buzzed it over her pussy.Cosmosaid to tease the sensation, and I planned on teasing her for hours, edging her closer until she strangled my cock with how hard she came. I’d have her screaming louder than she screamed last night, and last night I was surprised the neighbors hadn’t complained.

I was pulled out of my little fantasy by a loud shriek, but at least it jolted me enough to take off again once I’d readjusted my pants. Snatching up the box, I stuffed it in my backpack and sprinted back down the hallway to the kitchen where I came to screeching halt.

I’d been wrong when I thought the shriek was just the boys fucking around. Very wrong indeed.

Oh crap.

My eyes popped, but the rest of me froze, unsure of exactly what I should do. Picking my jaw up off the floor would be good place to start.

What did one normally do when the girl you were sleeping with turned up at your place wearing sky high heels, and a raincoat she was hugging to herself so tightly it was clear there was nothing underneath? And given the way the coat wasn’t fastened, I’d be willing to bet she’d walked in here with it wide open, especially as Parker and Lux were staring at her like all their fantasies had come true.

I knew how they felt.

The pancakes on the griddle were starting to smoke. It was only when Tanner ambled down the hallway and slid to a stop with his mouth open that I jumped back into action.

“Payton? What are you doing here?” I asked quietly, praying that I didn’t scare her back into reality.

Her eyes darted around at each of the boys before settling back on me.

“You have roommates?” she hissed.

“Yeah,” I nodded. “I thought you knew.”

“No, I didn’t,” she gritted through her teeth, waving a free hand the length of her body. “Clearly.”

“Looks acceptable to me,” snickered Tanner into his fist, not even bothering to try and disguise it with a cough.

Payton’s head snapped around with narrowed eyes and a snarl fit for a Doberman. It was an expression I’d only been on the receiving end of once, and when I’d been too angry for it to take full effect. On Tanner, however, it had the desired result, and the smirk dropped off his face quicker than a fast ball.

Then she turned back to me, like this entire situation was all my fault.

Five minutes ago, I’d been on my way to another night of unbridled passion and several orgasms. Now, there was a very real chance I’d have to jerk myself to sleep tonight, and that was not something in my immediate plans. Therefore, I had to fix it fast.

I held my hands up before anyone could say another word. “Everyone! Turn around!”

Lux grinned, letting out a hefty eye roll as he did, like I was overreacting or something. But I didn’t fucking care.

“Dude, we’ve already seen…”

“TURN AROUND!”

The three dipshits did as they were told, though I didn’t miss Tanner taking a quick second peek.

“Thank you.” I let out the breath I didn’t realize I’d been holding. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be taking my guest to my room, and we don’t want to be disturbed. I shall see you all in the morning.”

Parker chuckled, his head dropping with a slow shake as I passed him and slowly walked over to Payton to take her hand. I tugged her to follow, but unfortunately, she held firm, and she was strong.
