Music blasted as we walked through the doors at the lake house where the party was being held. People looked like they’d been here all day partying, drunken laughter and smeared makeup everywhere we looked.
A few people from school waved at us, and I spotted Kaye easily where he was leaning against the wall in the living room in an orange prisoner jumpsuit, watching as Alec and Warren, who were also in orange jumpsuits, flirted with a slutty cat.
Kaye’s eyes shifted in our direction, going wide when he saw us.
My black skirt was tight and short, my black strappy heels making my legs look longer. I had a short sleeve white blouse on that only just covered my chest, tied with a knot just below my breasts to expose my stomach.
I’d given my eyes a smokey look with thick black framed glasses, and bright red lipstick coated my lips. I’d considered putting my hair in a bun but decided this sexy librarian was going to leave it out with a wavy tangled look.
I did a little spin for him, batting my lashes. “So, is this what you thought a sexy librarian would look like?”
“Warren’s going to flip the fuck out,” he chuckled, assessing me.
“Do you think I’ll get laid in this?”
He frowned, meeting my gaze. “That’s why you dressed like that?”
“C’mon, I bet even you’d want to fuck her right now,” Maisie teased, motioning to me. “Tell her how hot she looks.”
“Be careful tonight,” he said instead, pushing off the wall and walking away.
“Definitely a virgin,” she muttered, her eyes landing on someone behind me. “I bet you’ve got a raging boner too, right? Kaye’s just being sensitive.”
I turned, finding Alec and Warren behind me. Alec was studying me, his eyes on my tits, but Warren was glaring at my face.
“Go put some clothes on,” he scolded, making me grin.
“Do you know how much easier it will be to hook up with someone like this?” I said bluntly, his eyes narrowing.
“Rose—”
“I’m a grown woman. Back off,” I warned, and Alec finally spoke.
“You look like a slut.”
“I’m so glad you think so. That’s what I was going for,” I smirked, running my fingers up his chest. He swatted my hand away, looking annoyed.
“You won’t find a nice guy if you dress up like that. You’ll attract the wrong attention.”
“You think I want a nice guy?” I laughed, crossing my arms. “What I want is to be fucked within an inch of my life.”
“Be careful what you wish for,” he said sharply before stalking off, most likely to find Kaye.
Warren shook his head before following, and Maisie gave me a bright smile.
“Well, that went better than I thought. C’mon, slutty book lady. Let’s go find a drink!”
She took my hand and dragged me through a crowd of people to where the drinks were, and I poured one, lifting it to my mouth to take a sip.
The burn made me wince, but I pushed past it. I’d have a couple, but if they were this strong, I needed to pace myself a little.
We danced for a while, letting the bass wash through us as we let loose. I caught sight of Warren and the guys a few times, but they thankfully stayed away. They’d met up with a few other guys, so their attention was finally shifting to their own conversations instead of worrying about what I was doing.
Some random guy danced with us for a while, and Maisie gave me pleading eyes, silently asking me to let her have him. He’d been paying her more attention anyway, so I excused myself to use the bathroom, leaving them alone.
The line to the bathroom was long, and my small buzz had worn off by the time it was my turn. I was quick, almost running into Alec on my way back out.
