Page 64 of Hate the Game
Jax and Ryder were already stretched out on the floor and I had to tiptoe over them to get to my bed. I jumped in and mimicked their relaxed posture, stretched out over my covers with my legs crossed at the ankle and my arms bent behind my head.
“Fucking pain in the ass, piece of shit glitter.” Ryder sat up and started flicking at something on his arm. “Someone call Blaire and ask her how to get rid of glitter.”
Jax snorted. “My sister makes glitter messes, she does not clean them up.”
I rolled to my side to watch them and saw Cole had taken the only spot available, the one farthest from me. He still looked unhappy. I ignored it as best as I could. “Your sister is wonderful and if she wants to leave glitter messes, that’s her right.”
Jax started to get fussy until he saw my face and realized I was messing with him. “Funny. Brat.”
“Where’s your TV?” Ryder had moved on from the glitter apparently.
“I use my laptop like most people.” I laughed at the disgust on his face. “I didn’t plan on spending all of my time in my room, watching reruns ofBob’s Burgerswhen I moved here.”
“Should we play a game instead?” Jax shot me a challenging look. “Something like truth or dare?”
I snorted and shook my head. “No. Hell no. I’m not dumb enough to play truth or dare with the three of you. I have no interest in being forced to run across campus as naked as the day I was born.”
Ryder scowled at me. “Never.”
“He’s right. No one else gets to see you naked.” Cole was just as scowly as Ryder.
I raised my eyebrows. “No one else? I’m not getting naked in front of y’all, either. There are some things that aren’t meant to be seen.”
“Agree to disagree.” Jax laughed when I threw one of my extra pillows at his head. “Honesty is important in a relationship, Sav.”
I pulled the next pillow over my face, considering smothering myself a viable option to get out of the conversation. When Ryder pulled it from me and shoved it under his head. “Hey!”
“Sorry. When you use things to hurt yourself you lose them.” He didn’t look very sorry.
“Fine. I’m going to sleep. Play truth or dare amongst yourselves if you want.”
I was wide awake an hour later when I heard Cole’s breathing finally even out. He was the last one awake and with them officially all asleep I thought maybe I’d finally doze off but nope. By three in the morning I was going crazy. My body was soawareof how close they were. My mind was speeding through thoughts and what-ifs and it was going too fast to even hope that I’d manage to fall asleep anytime soon.
With my heart racing from how overstimulated I was I slowly and silently stepped out of my bed and grabbed my towel and shower caddy. A hot shower had to help put me to sleep. I hoped. I crept over the guys like a secret agent and managed to open the door so perfectly that it didn’t emit a single whine. Once I was on the other side, alone in the hallway, I let out a relieved breath and hurried down to the bathroom.
I was just standing under the stream of hot water when I heard someone come into the bathroom. Expecting Ryder, since middle of the night showers were our- his- thing, I was doubly shocked when my shower curtain was yanked open and it was Cole coming into the shower with me.
I gasped and covered as much of my parts as I could. “Cole! What are you doing?”
As I watched he stripped off his now wet pants and inched closer, his erection leading the way. “I hurt your feelings earlier.”
My eyes were everywhere. From the black ringlets on top of his head to the happy trail situated between those glorious transversus muscles to his long, girthy cock to his thick, strong thighs, and right down to his big, tan feet. I didn’t mean to but I took my time looking at him. It was impossible not to. Maybe I should’ve been pissed that he just let himself into my shower but I had so much eye candy to gobble up that I couldn’t be bothered.
“Sav?” He stepped even closer. “I didn’t mean to be a dick earlier. I just knew that if we stayed in the bathroom together for another moment I would’ve done everything in my power to get you naked. Like this.”
I let out a breathy sound that leaned heavily towards being a moan. “What are you doing, Cole?”
He pressed even closer and the tip of his shaft brushed my hip. “Tell me to go.”
My back pressed into the shower wall. “W-what do you want?”
Bracing his hands on either side of my head, he leaned down so we were eye to eye. “You. I’ve wanted you since you walked into the locker room that first day. It nearly broke my brain to have to walk away from you after I’d gotten my fingers in you at the lookout that night.”
“But-”
He silenced me with a kiss, one that burned so hot it made the water seem cool. His hands moved to either side of my neck and he pressed his thumbs under my chin to control my movements while he licked his way into my mouth.
I moaned into it when he pressed his body into mine, all that hot, wet skin sliding over mine. I was a goner. “Yes.”
