Page 107 of Good Girl Fail

“Poor O’Neal,” Len said, a pitying note in his voice. “She thought she’d fallen for the heir to a business fortune, but now she’s stuck with two artsy types.” He kissed her cheek. “You know we’re insufferable.”

Auden came over to them, putting his hands on Lennox’s shoulders and caging her between them. “And often poor.”

She laughed. “I’m not looking for a bank account. I can make my own money. But I’ve heard the artsy types are good in bed. Real creative, you know?”

“Right.” Auden touched his forehead to hers. “And kind of intense.”

“And pretty filthy-minded,” Len added and then kissed the side of her neck, sending a shiver downward. “And insatiable. They’ll want you all the time.”

She closed her eyes. “Sounds terrible.”

Auden slid his hands along the lapels of her long coat. “How are we supposed to go two weeks without touching you?”

Goosebumps broke out along her skin. She didn’t know the answer to that question. Since they’d decided to be together, they couldn’t seem to get enough of each other. Not just in bed but simply being with each other. When they’d eventually chosen to be out with their relationship, at least at school, the freedom was like a drug. Never in her life had she felt so in her own skin. With Auden and Lennox, she felt fully herself. Nothing to hide or be ashamed of or apologize for.

“We better get our fill tonight,” Len said against her ear. “Make the memory last a while.”

“Agreed.” Auden went in search of the button on her coat, and her heartbeat picked up speed. Her plan suddenly seemed risky. Maybe it was a bad call. Maybe it was weird.

Too late now.

Auden opened her coat and froze. Her gaze jumped up to his as she braced herself for his reaction.

His breath whooshed out, fluttering her hair. “O’Neal.Shit.”

She scrunched her nose. “Is it bad? Too much? Is it—?”

“What the hell is going on?” Len asked, stepping from behind her to see what Auden was looking at. An instant smile lit his face. “Well, hello there.”

Auden reached out and pushed her winter coat fully off, letting it pool at her feet. He took a long, lingering glide of a look from head to foot, taking in the school uniform she’d dug out from the bottom of her boxes from home complete with a plaid skirt, white Oxford shirt, and blue blazer.

He ran a hand over his jaw like he was in actual pain. “I’m seriously going to hell. I’m a terrible, terrible person.”

She licked her lips and tilted her head, nervous but getting the sense by the look on his face and the growing thickness at the front of his jeans that she hadn’t missed the mark. “Um, Merry Christmas?”

“Fuck yes, it is,” Len said.

Auden visibly swallowed and he stepped closer, sliding a hand onto her waist. “I know I shouldn’t be turned on by this, but I think my brain might literally be liquefying as we speak. You look…”

“Like a very good girl,” Len finished, moving behind her again and tracing a fingertip along her collarbone. “Ourvery good girl.”

She smiled and cocked her chin, confidence rising in her. “I am. I got straight As this semester, despite some very big, very handsome distractions.”

“Mmm,” Auden murmured as he moved closer, trapping her between them, and opening the top button of her blouse. “So smart. I’d give you a sticker but I’m all out. Guess we’ll need to reward you in some other way.”

“An orgasm for every A sounds fair,” Lennox suggested.

She bit her lip, a ripple of anticipation shimmering across her nerve endings. “That might kill me. I got a lot of As. But I’m willing to sacrifice myself to science to find out.”

Auden laughed and leaned in to kiss her deep and slow. When he pulled back, he cupped her jaw. “You’re my favorite student. Always so eager to learn.”

“What should we teach her tonight, Aud?” Lennox asked, his hand tracking up the side of her thigh and then beneath her skirt. He traced a line along the seam of her ass over her thin cotton panties. “Maybe a little multitasking?” He pressed gently against that sensitive, private opening. “There are two of us after all, and so many fun places to visit.”

She inhaled a sharp breath, her body reacting as if he’d pinched her.

Auden’s gaze darkened, his eyes searching hers as his thumb caressed her cheek. “Hmm, I think you scared our freshman a little, Len.”

O’Neal’s tongue pressed to the back of her teeth. Her heartbeat was suddenly thumping in her ears.
