“Carpooled with Luke,” he said. “But he left to go hang out with his sister for the day.”
I met his eyes. “Naturally. You came with Luke.”
“Luke doesn’t want to fuck me, Gilman. I’m allowed to have a best friend.”
“Bet he kissed your forehead before you got out of his car, huh?”
Andrew cocked his head to one side. “If I lie and say he made out with me and called me his favorite, would it make you jealous?”
A heat bloomed in my chest just hearing Andrew say that.
Was itjealousy?
Maybe. A little.
Maybe it was something closer to raw possessiveness, though.
Andrew had been teasing me so much about wanting me to fuck him—begging me, really—that I had been getting used to the feeling of him wantingme, and me only.
And sure.
I craved things, too.
To claim him.
Latch my fingers into his hair and pull him toward me, hard, reminding him that he was wrapped around my damn finger.
Kissing him like I was tongue-fucking his mouth, then feeling him lean in for more.
But I wasn’t going to admit that to him.
“I’ll drop you off at your frat house. Come get in the car.”
CHAPTER 7
ANDREW
I saw the cluster of campus police and city police outside the frat house before I could even see the house itself.
The telltale red and blue lights. The little army of squad cars they sent out, similar to the last time this happened.
“Fuck. Fuckingfuck, not again,” I said under my breath.
“Peachel, what the fuck’s going on here?” Gray said.
He slowed his car as we drove down the street. I saw a couple of the guys outside, waiting for the police to do their search.
“Let me check the group text,” I said, grabbing my phone. “I haven’t looked at my phone since I first got to the Hard Spot.Shit. Yep.”
Gray pulled over to the side of the street as I glanced through the text messages that had built up during our study session.
“What is it?” he asked.
“There was another stupid fucking bomb threat,” I said.
I looked back up toward the frat house, which the police had already cordoned off with caution tape. I could see them setting up to go inside.
“Excuse me?Another?” Gray asked. “There have been others?”
