“Good girl,” he praised. I tried ignoring the way my pussy fluttered at his words and failed.Good girl, his words ping-ponged in my head.
“Okay,” I coughed and quickly stood up and almost fell down.
“Shit, be careful, cielo.” He picked me up, and I rolled my eyes.
“I’m not incapacitated, Fletch.”
“I know, Reynova.” He smiled, and there went that little flutter between my legs. It grew to a mild throbbing. “Breathe, babe, just… let me carry you around. It gives me purpose.”
“Fine. Suit yourself,” I huffed, trying to ignore, and again failing, just how much I liked being in his arms.
And like he promised, he set me up a bath and left, telling me to call him if I needed anything before he headed out to the home gym in the basement.
To Jeremy’s credit, he was a perfect gentleman. He kissed my cheek after he walked me back to my dorm after feeding me all my favorites after my long soak that really did make my ankle feel a million times better, leaving me even more perplexed about why the hell he wanted me to pretend we were seeing one another.
And why hadn’t I just given him a chance to begin with?

I glanced at my phone and tried not to smile at the fact he’d changed his contact information on my phone. Or wonder when he had done it.
My Sexy Man: Omega House. Tonight. Wear a dress and your hair down.
My sexy man?Where did he come up with this stuff? I glanced at myself in the mirror and ran my fingers through my hair, freshly washed and airdrying. I honestly didn’t want to have to put it up; I just usually pulled it in a ponytail because well, soccer.
I plopped back down on my bed and picked up my phone.
Omega House.
A frat party.
Those weren’t my favorite, but what other choice did I have? Let him upload that video on the internet?He won’t do it,a little voice quipped, and I breathed out slowly. I wasn’t going to take a chance. I pressed my roommate’s-slash-best-friend’s number. It rang a total of two times before Sadie’s voice sounded on the other end of the line.
“Hey,” she answered.
“Hay is for horses,” I joked, or at least tried to. Sadie’s giggles made me smile, and I relaxed just a smidge.
“What’s up?”
“Where are you?” I asked, slowly trying to figure out a way to talk her into going with me tonight. He might have wanted me there, but he never said I had to go alone. “Sadie? You there?” I asked when she didn’t respond.
“Yeah, sorry, I’m here. Umm, I’m walking back from the library, why?”
“I was thinking….” I let the words cling in the air, and by Sadie’s sigh, she knew I was up to something.
“That’s never a good thing,” she muttered. I laughed, relaxing for the first time since I had woken up. My mind had been filled with nothing but thoughts of Jeremy, and my dreams last night hadn’t been any better.
“That’s mean,” I playfully, slightly dramatically, answered.
“It’s true, though. What’s up? What do you need?” she asked just like I knew she would.
“Needfeels like a heavy word,” I added because I had a feeling she would turn me down flat. Sadie hated going out. She was a true and through homebody, somewhat nerd. I loved her, but the only time she liked to go out was to go hiking now. It was as sporty as she got. The only reason we were roommates was because of a glitch in the housing department, and they’d deemed it too complicated to fix our freshman year, so she got to stay in the athletic buildings and our friendship grew from there.
“Spit it out, Tere.” She laughed.
“You know how we talked about this year being the year we go do more stuff? Get out of our usual routine? Grab the bull by the?—“
“Horns,” she cut me off. “Yeah, I joined the hiking club.” I rolled my eyes.Hiking club?
