Fuck, what a mood killer.
“Enough,” a voice growls through the door. “I know what you’re doing in there.”
I frown and whisper, “You brought Grey here?”
“I told him to watch the door,” she says, swallowing. “So no one will see us exiting together.”
“It’s time,” Grey adds.
She opens the door, but I slam it closed and grab her face one last time for another kiss, just one more. One. That’s all I’m asking for. That’s all I need. All I crave.
Just. One. More. Kiss.
When her lips leave mine, it feels empty, but I know she has to leave sometime and go back to being with Grey, back to pretending I’m someone she hates.
God, how can we ever keep this up?
“See you tonight?” she asks.
I peck her on the forehead. “In my bed. I’ll bring the plugs.”
She grins and swiftly exits the room, closing the door behind her, while my heart palpitates in my throat. And fuck me, now I’m going to have to wait until the boner disappears.
After a few minutes, there’s another knock.
“You can come out now, Loverboy.”
I roll my eyes and pull open the door, where a smirking Apollo waits for me with his hand against the doorpost. “What are you doing here?”
“Making sure no one knows you were here,” he muses. “Aspen sent me.”
“Right. Because we need a chaperone.”
“Just covering our tracks, that’s it,” he says as we both walk out into the hallway.
A bunch of students passing us by giggle, and I narrow my eyes when everyone we see starts gossiping behind our backs.
“Are you noticing something?” I ask.
“No, why?” Apollo replies without even looking at me.
“They’re staring at us. And talking.”
“Can’t help it. They adore the pecs.” He flexes his arms.
My eyes nearly roll into the back of my head. “Sure, bighead.”
A fellow gym rat high-fives Apollo on the way to our next class. And when a girl walks past us, she says, “Is two enough for you or do you want a third?” She winks at him.
I frown at him. “What did you do?”
“Oh nothing,” he says, shrugging. “They’re all jealous because I just casually announced over the loudspeaker that I’m fucking both Grey and Aspen.”
I stop in my tracks. “YOU DID WHAT?”
