I roll my eyes, even though he isn’t looking at me, and stand up on my wobbly legs. My dress falls back into place, and I look around on the kitchen floor for my panties before I spot them at the edge of the room. I slip them on once I’ve picked them up, then turn to look at Carson, who’s watching me with a smirk.

“What?” I question, running my fingers through my hair.

He purses his lips, shaking his head as he drinks more of his water. “Nothin’.”

I quirk a brow, stepping toward him. “Were you going to offer me some water?”

He swallows, then shrugs as he holds the bottle out to me. “I hadn’t thought of it, actually.”

I give him a dirty look as I snatch the bottle from his grip. “Always such a gentleman, Carson Raines.”

He grins with his mouth closed, like a shithead, then kisses me on the head before heading to the table to grab my coffee. I wiggle where I stand when I feel some of his cum drip into my panties, making him laugh as he walks back to me and holds the coffee out. “Good?”

I smile, discarding the water on the counter so I can drink some of my coffee instead . Sarcasm drips from my tone when I finally answer him. "Great, actually. I love walking around with your cum in my panties. It makes me feel less alone.”

Stepping past me, he smacks me on the ass as he heads for the door. “That’s my girl.”

CARSON

“Cass!” I yell out, getting the attention of everyone in the school hallway, bringing their eyes to Cassidy passing with Tom Peters hanging on her arm. “Glad to see you’ve finally switched from the football team to the basketball team.”

She gives me a dirty look, and when the starting point guard for our basketball team catches my eye, he laughs with me. I tip my head as if to say,good luck, brother,and he laughs even harder.

After a lot of drama surrounding my relationship with my stepsister, Cassidy finally moved on from being a psycho-bitch and started making her way through the football team. They had my blessing—what do I care who she sleeps with?—but last week when Donald Jaeger, a wide receiver, announced he was calling it quits on his month-long relationship with my ex, the whole team made a pact to stop fucking with her.

Poor girl couldn’t catch another football player in her web, so she was forced to downgrade.

Hayden clears his throat, clapping me on the back. “Do you think it would be okay if I fucked Cassidy?”

Levi chokes on his water, and my eyes narrow as I think about it for a second.

“Why would you want to fuck Cassidy?” Logan questions my best friend, tilting her head to the side to stare at him like he’s sick.

Hayden shrugs. “I heard Tom Peters is bi.”

“Okay?” I ask. “And?”

Hayden slams his locker shut, and all three of us stare at him, confused. “Maybe I could get them to have a threesome with me.”

“Why don’t you just fuck Tom Peters?” Logan asks, sliding her fingers between mine.

Hayden waves a hand dismissively. “I figured it would be less work if I just invited her.”

“It would be funnier if Tom Peters cheated on Cassidy with you, though,” Levi adds, laughing.

“Why are we all saying his full name whenever we talk about him?” I ask, but my question is ignored when Logan speaks again.

“What’s the sudden interest in Tom Peters?”

We all head down the hall in a line, like we’ve grown to do on instinct lately, and Hayden smacks his hands together. “I heard Tom Peters is a bottom.”

“Okay?” Logan questions, and the expression on her face tells me she’s getting invested in this, which makes me chuckle. Levi is silent as he walks to my left, slapping hands with a few people as we pass them.

“I don’t know, Logan. It was just a thought,” Hayden grumbles. “I’m bored, and I’ve ran through the whole football team.”

“Well…” I hold my hand up. “Not thewholefootball team.”
