I took a break a few hours later to have dinner and watchLove or Moneywith the guys. Between the spareribs over polenta Rock served for dinner and my cozy spot between him and Oscar on the sofa, I had to force myself to get up after one episode to finish my homework.

I hadn’t wanted to come to Aventine, but I was here, sitting in classes during the week. Might as well get credit for my time, which was easier said than done when I was nestled between two of the hottest guys in the world.

Neo didn’t count, because Neo, as usual, was glaring at me from a chair, making it clear he had no intention of touching me with a ten-foot pole.

“Want me to keep you warm while you work?” Rock asked when I stood up to leave.

I rolled my eyes, even though the offer was tempting. “If you keep me warm, I won’t get any work done.”

“That may or may not be true,” he said with one of his disarming smiles, “but doesn’t it sound fun?”

It sounded hella fun, but my essay wasn’t going to write itself.

“Fun is irrelevant,” I said, forcing myself to step away from the denim-clad muscles and inked skin of two of my roommates.

The ones with beating hearts.

“Fine,” Rock said. “We’ll give you two hours. Then you come soak with us in the hot tub.” He stood and took my empty plate, looking down at it like a lovestruck teenager. “Fuck, I love a girl who likes to eat.”

I shook my head, trying to keep up. “How did we go from keeping me warm while I do homework to soaking in the hot tub?”

“I don’t make the rules, kitten.” He bent down and kissed me on the mouth.

Somewhere beyond the softness of his lips and the slow sweep of his tongue, I heard Neo grunt in annoyance. When Rock broke the kiss, Neo was gone and my panties were wet.

I’m going to say that wasn’t a coincidence.

Rock slapped my ass and a swell of wet heat rushed straight to my pussy. “Go get that work done so we can get hot and wet.”

Fuck me.

I passed through the kitchen on my way to the back staircase and found Neo rinsing his plate. I was almost to the stairs when he spoke behind me.

“I should have known you’d get off on so much attention.”

I turned around. “As opposed to the insults you dish out?”

“I’m not looking to get you off,” he said, slamming his plate into the dishwasher.

“Yeah, okay,” I said with a smirk.

What happened next happened so fast I didn’t even see it coming. One minute he was standing next to the dishwasher, the next he was shoving me back against the wall next to the staircase, wedging his knee between my thighs.

He glared down at me, his hand around my throat, his eyes like twin flames threatening to set me on fire. “You got something to say about me getting you off?”

His chest was pressed against mine, and fuck me if my nipples weren’t hard as pebbles, desperate for his mouth and tongue.

“I just think we should be honest, that’s all,” I hated that my voice was breathless, but I didn’t think there was a girl alive who could have maintained her composure pressed against Neo Alinari’s hard body, his mouth inches away, eyes spitting flames.

He narrowed his eyes, and an evil smile twisted his delicious mouth. “You want to be honest? Okay, let’s be honest.” He bent his head to my neck, his hand still wrapped around the base of my throat. The pressure should have been scary, but it only made me wetter. “Do I want to fuck you? Sure. I’d love to bury my cock inside your tight little pussy.”

He closed his free hand around my tit and squeezed, then ran his hand down my stomach, slipping it into the waistband of my sweats.

I closed my eyes. There was no point even trying to fight my hunger for him. It had been growing for too long.

“I’d love to fuck you until you can’t walk,” he said, his voice hard as he ground his fucking huge cock against my thigh. “To make you beg. To wipe that smile off your face by making you come so hard you scream.”

I moaned as the heat of his palm came into contact with my bare mound.
