“Awesome,” she said. “Did I tell you Reid came by?”
My eyes widened. “What? No! How could you forget to mention that?”
“My dad told him about my accident, so Reid came by to check on me.”
“Well, that was sweet…”
Then she smirked. “You should have seen Slade. He was marching around like a gorilla that had his banana taken away. It was hilarious.”
I could picture it. “That’s cute…”
“He’s annoying when he’s jealous but I like it at the same time.” She gave me a guilty smirk.
“Well, I’m just glad you aren’t fighting anymore.”
“The fighting isn’t so bad. The make-up sex is…amazing.” She widened her eyes and gave me a knowing look.
I laughed. “So, it all comes down to sex.”
“Uh, yeah.” She laughed along with me.
I closed my textbook and put it back in my bag, not even wanting to look at it. Trinity was flipping through a magazine. Honestly, I never saw her study. I wondered if she even passed her classes this year. But I didn’t ask. “How’s Conrad doing?”
She sighed. “I can tell he’s sad Roland is leaving.”
“Those two are inseparable.”
“I don’t know who Roland’s going to hang out with…I guess Theo and Silke.”
I rested my chin on my hand. “But they aren’t Roland.”
“I’m sure he’ll go home every weekend just to see him.”
I smirked. “That would be really cute…in a lame way.”
She gave me a knowing look. “We both know Slade and Cayson would do the exact same thing.”
“And so would we.”
Her eyes softened. “You’re right.”
“I’m going to a frat party with Trinity tonight,” I said as I checked my hair in the mirror.
“Oh.” Cayson leaned against the doorframe behind me, watching my reflection in the mirror.
“You want to go?”
“Is Slade going?” he asked.
“I would assume. He’s super protective of her.”
He shrugged. “Then I guess I’ll go.”
“You don’t have to go if you don’t want to.” I knew he hadn’t been in the best mood lately. If he just wanted to stay home, I would understand. I would stay with him but I’d been doing that every single night. It was time to do something else.
“No, I’ll go.” He stepped away and let me walk through the door.
I pulled on a black blouse that had a low cut in the middle. A gold necklace hung around my neck.
Cayson looked down my shirt, not being discreet about it.
“Um, hello?” I said with a laugh.
“Sorry.” He smirked. “When you have them laid out like that, it’s hard not to stare.”
“Well, you’re a foot taller than me so you have a good view of them.”
He looked at them again. “Lucky me.”
I was grateful Cayson wasn’t controlling like Zack. He never told me what to wear or when I should cover up. And he wasn’t stupid. If he said something like that to me, I’d put him in his place.
Cayson came up behind me then kissed my neck, slowly guiding me to the bed.
“Cayson, I’m going to be late…” I turned my head so his lips would have more room.
“You shouldn’t have worn that, then.” He kept kissing me until we reached my bed.
I leaned over on my hands. “I don’t want to mess up my hair.”
“Then I won’t.” He pulled off my jeans and underwear, leaving my shirt on. Then he came up behind me and moved inside.
I bit my lip while I enjoyed him. He kept his hands on my hips and didn’t fist my hair like he normally did. He rocked into me slowly, taking his time. I turned my head and he leaned far over me, kissing me while he rocked into me.
The party was forgotten.
“What took you so long?” Trinity asked when I arrived. Slade was standing beside her, watching the crowd like he was searching for something.
“We just lost track of time.” I smiled then looked away, avoiding eye contact.
Slade didn’t buy it. “They had a quickie but it wasn’t very quick.”
Trinity rolled her eyes. “We did too but it didn’t stop us from being on time.”
Slade turned to Trinity. “Want a beer, baby?”
“I thought I wasn’t supposed to take drinks from guys?” she challenged.
His eyes narrowed in annoyance. “I can take advantage of you. Completely different. Now you want a drink or what?”
“Yes,” she said.
“I’ll go with you,” Cayson offered. “Beer?” he asked me.
“Sure,” I said.
The guys walked off.
“There are a lot of people here tonight,” I said.
“Looks like everyone is ready for the year to be over.” Trinity wore shorts that made her legs look even longer than usual. Black heels were on her feet and her toenails were decorated in white tips. Her white blouse had a low cut in the front, showing the swell of her breasts.
“You look hot,” I said.
“Thanks. Your boobs look good.”
“That explains the quickie,” I said with a laugh.
“Look what we have here.” A guy wearing a football jersey came to us, a friend in tow. I’d never seen him before, but judging by the size of his muscles and the cocky grin on his face, he was a guy who always got what he wanted. “Two gorgeous women.”
Trinity and I shared a smirk, knowing this guy had absolutely no game.
The guy eyed Trinity up and down, not being discreet about it.
His friend looked at me.
“I have a boyfriend,” I blurted, not bothering to be nice about it. The last thing Cayson needed was something to stress about.
“I guess I’m not surprised,” he said sadly.
The football player looked at Trinity. “I don’t care if you have a boyfriend. I want to get you a drink anyway.”
“Well, he’ll be back any second,” Trinity said. “So I suggest you be quick about it.”
“How about we just head outside,” he said. “And I’ll show you what it’s like to be with a real man.”
Unable to control myself, I laughed.
The guy glared at me.
“Sorry,” I said. “But that has to be the cheesiest thing I’ve ever heard.”
He clenched his jaw in annoyance.
“If you don’t want to see two real men in action,” Trinity said. “I suggest you walk away. They’re on the way over here and I wouldn’t be surprised if they ripped your throat out.”
He didn’t seem scared. “How about you give me a call when you get bored of him?”
“God, you’re cocky,” I said.
“And I’m not sure what you’re cocky about,” Trinity said. “Just because you’re on the football team you think I want to have sex with you?”
“Well, I hear through the grapevine you’ll have sex with just about anyone,” he snarled.
He just crossed a line.
I grabbed his shoulder then kneed him right in the groin. “Don’t talk to her like that.”
He jerked and leaned over, cupping his balls.
His friend immediately backed off, not wanting to risk his future children.
“Jackass!” Trinity slapped him across the face while he tried to catch his breath.
Slade and Cayson appeared, their eyebrows raised.
“Baby, why are you beating up some guy…?” Slade asked.
“Because he’s an asshole,” I snapped.
The guy finally stood up then slowly limped away.
Cayson handed me a beer then eyed me. “What was that about?”
Trinity rolled her eyes. “He tried to make a pass at us. Then he called me a whore. So Skye kneed him right in the balls and taught him a lesson.”
Cayson gave me a smirk. “That’s my girl.”
Slade didn’t seem impressed. “What did he call
you?” Anger flashed in his eyes.
Trinity gave him a firm look. “Let it go. He got what was coming to him.”
Slade’s eyes darkened as he watched the guy walk away, his mind working furiously. He wasn’t the type of guy who let something go. Then he passed Trinity a drink.
She eyed it suspiciously. “Am I going to wake up naked in your bed?”
He still wasn’t in a playful mood. “There’s nowhere else I’d let you end up.”
She drank it then stopped trying to cheer him up.
Cayson’s arm moved around my waist and held me close to him. “I wouldn’t mind it if you ended up naked in my bed.”
“How is that different from any other night?” I teased.
“Well, if you were drunk it wouldn’t be the end of the world either…” He sipped his drink and looked away.
I recalled his story of our first kiss. Apparently, I was ripping his clothes off because I wanted him right then and there. I guess I was brave when I was drunk, fearless.
Trinity downed her beer then held up the cup in victory. “One down!”
Slade eyed her. “I guess I’m DD tonight.”
“Me too,” Cayson said with a sigh.
“We haven’t had fun in ages,” Trinity said. “I say we get drunk off our asses!”
“That sounds good to me!” I downed my drink but only drank half before I needed a break. I liked beer but it wasn’t my favorite.
Slade rolled his eyes. “I guess Cayson and I will entertain ourselves while you do that.”
“Okay.” Trinity grabbed my hand and we walked away, getting into trouble like always.
“Look, I’m humpty-dumpty.” Trinity fell off the couch and started laughing. She laughed so hard tears ran down her cheeks.
I pointed at her and laughed. “God, you’re stupid.”
“No, you’re stupid.” She tried to hit my knee but fell over again.
“You want to take a hit?” A guy held out a doobie to me.
“Sure!” I grabbed it and brought it to my lips.
Cayson snatched it away. “No drugs.” He passed it back to the guy. “Ignore her.”
The guy turned away.
I rolled my eyes, and just the act alone made my head spin. “Geez, Cayson. You’re so lame.”
“I know.” He headed back to Slade and talked to him again.
Trinity laughed. “Your man is boring.”
“Your man is a walking STD.”
She suddenly became thoughtful. “I wonder if I have anything…”
“It wouldn’t surprise me.”
She shrugged. “I’m a whore.”
“Such a whore.” I hit her knee but ended up falling off the couch.
Trinity pointed at me. “Humpty-dumpty!”
“Guilty!” My face felt hot and my body was moving in slow motion. I kept laughing, not sure what was so funny.
“Easy targets,” a guy said as he came to our side. “Hey, you girls need a ride?”
Slade suddenly appeared and growled at him like a dog.
The guy immediately backed off.
Trinity let her head fall back as she laughed. “He totally acts like a gorilla! See?”
I started making monkey noises. “Me. Want. Banana.”
Trinity fell over laughing. “Oh my god!” Then she sat up and beat her chest with her fists. “King Kong!”
“Donkey Kong!” I copied her and beat my chest.
“Go to hell,” Slade muttered.
“Go climb a tree,” Trinity snapped.
Slade rolled his eyes. “I hate you.”
Trinity tried to reach for him even though he was five feet away. “No, I love you! I love you so much!”
Slade eyed the crowd, suddenly noticing all the attention he was getting.
“I fucking love you!” Trinity yelled. “I want to have all your babies! Five of them!”
“You’ll have twins,” I yelled. “Because Slade is a twin!”
“Oh my god!” Trinity yelled. “That would be so cute! Awe!”
“And they’ll look like monkeys,” I said.
“Even cuter,” she squealed.
“Stop talking,” Slade snapped. “Keep it down.”
“You’re so hot,” Trinity blurted. “Turn around and show Skye your fine ass.”
“Eww,” I said. “He’s my cousin!”
Slade was turning red in the face. “Okay, it’s time to go home…”
“Hey, who’s dick is bigger?” Trinity asked. “Yours or Cayson’s?”
I held my hands apart, trying to measure Cayson’s size. “I think Cayson’s is this big…”
Cayson grabbed my hands and pushed them together. “Time for bed.”
“No.” I whined like a child. “We’re having so much fun!”
“We’ll have fun when we get home,” he said as he pulled me to my feet.
“Show Trinity how nice your ass is,” I said. “Turn around.” I tried to move out of his grasp but he held me still.
Cayson sighed then swung me over his shoulder.
I was face-to-face with his ass. I squeezed each cheek. “Yum!”
“I’m getting her out of here before she starts flashing everyone,” Cayson said.
“Good idea,” Slade said, picking up Trinity.
“Would you be mad if I flashed everyone?” Trinity asked with an evil smirk.
“Don’t even think about it,” Slade said with a growl. “Otherwise, I won’t show you my fine ass.”
Trinity pouted. “But I love that thing.”
“Then keep your shirt down,” Slade threatened.
“You’re such a dumb monkey,” she said.
Slade rolled his eyes and didn’t say anything. “See you later, Cayson.”
“Good luck with her,” he said.
“You too,” Slade said with a sigh.
Cayson got me into the car, but I wouldn’t sit still. I turned up the music and started singing and dancing. Cayson smirked as he watched me out of the corner of his eye. Then I rolled down the window and stuck my head out like a dog, screaming while I sang.
Cayson kept his silence and drove to his apartment.
When we got inside, he carried me to his bedroom. I was still restless, wanting to keep drinking and being wild. I wished Trinity were there. She was always so much fun.
“Time for bed,” Cayson announced.
“No!” I sat up then pushed him away. “More beer!”
“You hate beer,” he said with a laugh.
“But I love you…”
“I’m not following.”
I stared at his broad shoulders and wide chest. He had such beautiful blue eyes, the kind you could get lost in. “I want you…” I pulled my shirt off and yanked my bra off, breaking a strap in the process.
“Just go to bed, Skye.”
“No!” I stood up then stumbled. “I want sex!” Then I started laughing for no reason.
He gripped my waist then pulled me back to the bed.
“Don’t be a pussy!” I swatted his arm then pulled off my jeans. When they got stuck around my ankles, I growled. “Stupid pants! They’re broken.”
Cayson kneeled then pulled them off. “I fixed them.”
“You’re a genius.” I swatted my forehead. “How did you not get into medical school? You’re, like, the smartest guy I’ve ever known.”
He shrugged but didn’t say anything.
“They are stupid, Cayson. Don’t let them get you down.”
“Thanks. But I’m okay.”
I grabbed my thong and pulled it off. “Now let’s get dirty.”
He smirked while he watched me.
I yanked on his jeans and tried to get them down without undoing the button. “Shit, these are broken too.”
He laughed then undid the button.
“You should be the president of the United States!”
“I’ll think about it.” He kicked off his jeans.
I yanked his boxers down and revealed his co
ck. “So pretty…”
“What?” He narrowed his eyes. “No guy wants to hear that.”
“But he is pretty.” I grabbed the base then shoved the tip into my mouth, licking and sucking.
He moaned and his head rolled back for a moment. He enjoyed it for a second before he pulled out of my mouth. “You need to go to bed.”
“No!” I smacked his thigh. “Sex. Now.”
“You’re drunk.”
“So?” I stammered. “Don’t be such a good guy. It’s boring.”
“You like that I’m a good guy,” he argued.
“Not right now. Come on, take advantage of me. Be a dick for once in your life.”
His eyes darkened while he stared at me. “I’ll never take advantage of you.”
I rolled my eyes. “Ugh, you’re annoying.” I grabbed his arm then yanked him to the bed. Then I pulled off his shirt and pushed him down. “I want sex and you’re going to give it to me.”
“Bossy…”
“You’re just a pussy.”
His eyes narrowed. “I’m not a pussy. I’m just a gentleman.”
“Same fucking thing.”
“Fine.” He grabbed me and rolled me to my back. “You want drunk sex. I’ll give it to you.”
“Yay!” I fisted the air in victory.
He moved over me and pinned my legs back. Then he was inside me instantly.
“Oh my god, this is great!”
He rocked into me hard. “Stop talking.”
My nails moved into his ass, wanting him to go faster. “Harder!”
“Shit, this is as fast as I go,” he said through his heavy breathing.
“Yes!” I hit my climax immediately, my head rolling back. “You’re so good at that.”
Cayson kept going, taking longer to get off than normal. He finally found his release with a loud moan, sweat dripping from his chest and forehead. He released a deep breath and pulled out of me before he lay beside me. “Now shut up and go to bed.”
I was already asleep.
Blinding pain radiated through my head. It pounded inside my skull, making me cringe and curl into a ball. It was like someone was blaring bass in my mind. My eyes fluttered open, and the light from the window only made me feel worse. My arm searched for Cayson beside me but he wasn’t there.
I sat up slightly, rubbing my forehead. I felt terrible, sick and weak. My eyes squinted as I adjusted to the light. I looked around, seeing that Cayson was, indeed, gone.
