“That’s great and all, but I don’t need a babysitter. I can take care of myself.”
Nikolai shook his head slowly and smiled. “Colin, I’m staying. You can’t get rid of me. I’m like herpes - you can calm me, but I’ll never really go away.”
“Isn’t that a fitting description,” Colin drawled.
Nikolai ignored Colin’s tone and pulled out his schedule. “So, let’s see which classes I have with you. Oh, look at that - all of them.” Nikolai grinned as Colin fumed.
“Are you planning on joining the football team as well?”
“I sure am. Coach told me I have to wear a jersey that says ‘Nik,’ though. Something about my last name invokes fear in people. I wonder why that is?” Nikolai tapped his chin with his forefinger in mock thought.
“Gee, I wonder.” Colin rolled his eyes.
“So, is this my side of the room?” Nikolai walked to the far side and looked at the bed. “This is way too small, we may have to push them together and make one bed.”
“Nice try.” Colin grabbed a T-shirt and pulled it over his head. Nikolai was walking around the room checking things out. He removed his leather jacket and Colin bit his bottom lip to stop himself from groaning. Nikolai’s biceps had gotten even bigger. How was that possible? Colin narrowed his eyes and then gasped. “You were shot?”
Nik looked down at his bicep.
“Oh, yeah. Some asshole thought a 9 mil would somehow slow me down,” Nikolai chuckled as he looked over all the contents of Colin’s dresser.
“Do you mind? Just because we share a room doesn’t mean you can touch all my stuff.”
“Can I touch that stuff?” Nikolai pointed to Colin’s crotch.
“No, that is off limits.” Colin grew serious and crossed the room to Nikolai. “Look, I wanted to thank you, you know, for saving my life at camp.” Colin looked up into Nikolai’s eyes and immediately regretted it. Nik had smoldering eyes that made his dick rock hard in seconds flat. Colin backed up and Nik took a step forward.
“I would do it again. You have to know how I feel about you, Colin.” Nikolai took Colin’s hand in his.
“No, I don’t. All I know is that you want in my pants.” Colin tried to back away further and was pulled forward.
“That’s not true. And I haven’t been with anyone in months, Colin.”
“I’m supposed to believe that?” Colin scoffed.
“Believe what you want.” Nikolai looked at the time. “We have to get to class.”
“Just how did you get into this college anyway? Stefan bribe someone?”
Nikolai bristled at the comment. “You’d be surprised, Colin. Stefan didn’t have to bribe anyone.”
“Yeah? Well you can’t fake your way through classes.”
“Well then, let’s go.”
