He chuckled.

“Now go,” I encouraged, pushing his arm.

He hesitated and then let out a frustrated growl. “You’re right.” He leaned over the armrest to kiss me. “Hit me as soon as you get in there.”

My lips were still tingling when he hopped out of my car.

With a contented sigh, I drove off in search of a parking spot. The aftershocks of the way he put it on me rippled through my body. Every time I had to stop to let people walk in front of me, I had a flashback. And due to the tailgate party, the step show, and the football game, there were people everywhere. And while I was annoyed that I couldn’t find a place to park, I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Nick took his time with me and made sure I was thoroughly satisfied. And after experiencing the best orgasm of my life, Iunraveled myself from him. Even though we were short on time, and it looked like we were going to be late to the step show, he insisted on walking me down the hall to my room.

A gentleman through and through.

I sighed happily as I found a parking spot damn near on the other side of campus. It wasn’t ideal, but it was near an exit so it would make it easier to leave out once the game was over.

Paris Brown: Where are you? I just saw Nick.

Asha James: I had to park near the engineering building. I’m late but I’m coming.

Paris Brown: You’ve missed a couple of performances but nothing major. They got started a little late. Tuck and the others were looking for Nick earlier. I didn’t tell them I knew he was out on a date while he was supposed to be here helping.

Asha James: Well, thank you for not ratting him out. I dropped him off at the front so he could get in there as soon as possible. We lost track of time.

Paris Brown: I’m sure you did!

I laughed.

Asha James: I’m on my way.

There were people everywhere and I fell into step with a group of women who looked a few years older than me, and I walked with them. One of my favorite things about Hamilton University was that it was so welcoming. Students and alumni became like family. Even if we didn’t know each other or talk toeach other, when we encountered one another, it was always all love.

Twenty minutes later, I was making my way into the crowded basketball arena. They’d set up a stage on the court and a sorority was in the middle of a routine as I followed the directions Nick had texted me. I was just about to send him a message when I saw my best friend heading in my direction and dropped my phone back into my bag.

“Paris!” I called out to her.

She turned around and then her eyes widened. “Asha!” She looked me up and down. “You look good!”

My cropped red sweater, high-waisted black leather skirt, and black, white, and red sneakers were a cute look for the homecoming festivities. Paris was wearing a sweaterdress that I let her borrow and a pair of knee-high boots.

I threw my arms around her. “Welook good!”

“I’m so glad you’re finally here. I was just about to call you!”

“Girl, at one point as I was walking, I didn’t think I’d ever get here.”

She snickered. “You’ve missed half the show.”

“For good reason.” I cocked my head to the side. “And you were on time and here when they were setting up.”

“For good reason,” she replied.

Giggling, we made our way to the SONs roped off section on the floor. When we made it to our destination, the seats she’d saved for us were occupied so we stood to the side. We looked around for Nick or Tuck and I didn’t see either of them.

“I don’t see Tuck or any of the guys who are stepping,” Paris noticed, craning her neck.

I swept my eyes around the area. “Maybe they’re next. Oh wait!”

I spotted him.
