I twist out of his grip and give him a half-hearted shove. “Fuck off. “

“They’re not wrong, bro,” Rath says from behind us.

I toss him the bird over my shoulder.

He’s right, and the twins aren’t wrong, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to admit that to any of them.

It’s true that West is basically the only person who’s ever held my interest for any significant length of time, but that’s only because of what happened between us.

I didn’t tell the guys this, but West and I hooked up during a house event in our first year. I don’t hook up a lot, but it’s no secret that I don’t have a preference when it comes to gender. The fact that I messed around with West isn’t the reason I’ve been loosely fixated on him for the past three years, it’showwe hooked up that I can’t seem to stop thinking about.

It was during the Hunt, which is basically an elaborate game of tag that’s played at night in the woods. Everyone wears masks, and everyone is out for themselves.

I still don’t know exactly what happened after I caught West, but he either tripped over something, or he was so startled he fell, because one minute I was standing in front of him, and then the next we were both tumbling to the ground and I was on top of him.

Mishaps happen when you play games in the woods at night, but it’s what happened next that changed everything.

He didn’t push me off as I lay over him, and there was no mistaking the press of his hard dick digging into me. That made me pause, but it was his energy that made me decide to have some fun.

He was excited and scared and horrified. I could feel the mix of emotions radiating off him in waves, but there was arousal there, and a sense of innocence that made the moment that much more intoxicating and intense.

So instead of getting off him and claiming my token, I pinned him to the ground and frotted against him.

He didn’t fight me or even protest. He just lay there and took it, and his submission was as hot as feeling his hard body under mine.

I came embarrassingly fast, considering we were only dry humping, but so did he, and it wasn’t just the orgasm that felt so damn good. It was the sense of power and how he gave me complete control over him that made the moment so memorable.

I didn’t even know who he was when it happened, but after we finished, West gave me his coin, and I carved a small nick into the edge of it before I put it in my pocket so I’d know which was his among the nearly dozen I’d already collected.

When I won and got to keep all the tokens I collected, I called in a favor and got access to the challenge records so I could see who the serial number was assigned to.

There was something about that encounter that just did it for me, and I still think about it all these years later.

Maybe it’s the anonymity that I find so hot. How West had no idea who I was but still chose to submit to me, to let me use him to get off that way.

And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who liked the cloak of anonymity that covered us.

As far as I can tell, West still doesn’t know it was me he hooked up with. And I’m inclined to believe that he’s not as straight as everyone thinks he is.

I’ve let my friends think I fuck with him because it’s fun, and it is, but they have no idea that I know exactly how West sounds when he comes.

“Someone’s touchy tonight.” Connor elbows me in the side. “Come on, how about we turn that frown upside down?”

“I’m going to murder you.”

“No, you won’t.” He elbows me again. “I mean, you could try, but I feel like my odds are pretty good in a 1v1 with you.” Hemakes a big show of looking around me to catch his brother’s eye. “Who do you think would win in a 1v1 between me and Ant?”

“If you catch him unaware, you,” Hazen says, not breaking his stride. “But if it’s a structured thing and you go after each other at the same time, then him.”

“Really, my own brother.” Connor clucks his tongue and shakes his head as he dramatically covers his heart with his hand. “Et tu, Brute?”

“Someone’s in a mood tonight.” Rath lightly smacks Connor on the back. “Are we going to have to keep an eye on you so you don’t go off the rails and do something we’re all going to regret?”

He tosses a look back at Rath. “Maybe.”

Just then, a group of girls comes around the corner, and by the way they all start whispering to each other excitedly, they seem to like what they see.

Connor and Hazen immediately turn on the charm and offer the girls some smirky smiles. They react like the twins just told them they won a shopping spree at Bergdorf’s and giggle as they give all of us flirty grins and a few practiced hair tosses.
