Page 75 of Tempt Thy Neighbor

“But if free booze doesn’t get you excited, maybe going on a date with your hot-as-hell roommate will.” River bounces her brows up and down.

Caroline pokes out from under my dress. “You’re dating him? He is so hot!” Her cheeks flush. “I mean…he’s cute,” she mutters, looking sheepish.

I laugh at her reaction. “We aren’t dating.”

“But you’re definitely banging.”

“River!” I scold.

“What—is it a secret or something? Oops.”

She doesn’t look the least bit sorry.

“Are you really sleeping with him?” Caroline asks. “Because if you are, I am incredibly jealous.”

“Um, why? I’ve seen your boyfriend. Cooper is delectable.”

“He really is.” She smiles dreamily, and I know in that moment she forgets all about how hot Sutton is. She shakes her head. “But that’s not the point.”

“Yeah, we wanna know if you’re banging or not,” Maya adds.

I guess it’s my turn to blush.

“Ha! I knew it!” River exclaims. “You two were awfully cozy at the diner that day, and I was fairly certain I spotted your panties tucked under his bed when I went to use the bathroom in your apartment.”

“So you were snooping?”

“No, not snooping. Just…noticing.”

“Uh-huh.”

She waves her hand. “Enough about that. Let’s talk all the details on you and Sutton.”

I know she’s not going to let up, so I give in, going through a quick rundown of everything up until this point.

When I’m finished, they’re all three just staring at me.

“What?” I ask, beginning to feel uncomfortable under their watchful gazes.

“You know you’ve been smiling the entire time you’ve been talking about him, right?”

I have?

I shrug. “That’s just because I’ve lost count of how many orgasms he’s given me.”

Maya shakes her head. “No. It’s not that.”

“Definitely not,” River agrees.

“Though I’m sure that doesn’t hurt,” Caroline says.

River tips her head to the side, her gaze sharpening on me. Then, she gives me a Cheshire-like grin.

“How long have you been in love with him?”

“What? I-I’m…I’m not!”

They all exchange a glance, then burst out laughing.
