“When did I say I couldn’t?” I smirk, boldness peaking through my tone.

The music lulls me toward Carson’s body. We’re flush against each other now, his body is hot. I want to touch every inch of him, and this is my chance to act on it without overthinking it. His eyes are half-lidded as he looks down at me, arms wrapped around me as we sway to the music.

“You look so fucking good.” He nips at my ear, my body definitely giving him the reaction he was looking for.

“Carson…” I whine, the friction of his thigh against my erection sending shivers up through my body. I look up at him expectantly. He gives me a kiss, but it’s far too soft and quick for what I need right now.

“Julian…you’re drunk,” Carson says softly into my ear.

“I’m not.” I whine into his neck, our bodies still swaying, “Is it because I’m a virgin?” I ask, and his eyes are widened a bit when I pull away to see his face.

“Baby, no, why would you think that?” He asks, his brows pinched.

“I don’t know, you stopped coming on to me.”

“No love, I didn’t want to come on too strong or rush you into anything. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way. I was just teasing you.” He shakes his head.

“No, it’s ok. I don’t know why I thought…I don’t know. Never mind.” I say into his ear, the music feels even louder.

“Trust me, I love being your first,” Carson says, his voice dangerous and heavy.

“Who said you’d be my first?” I say, nipping at his bottom lip.

“Don’t fucking play.” He pulls me into him more, gripping my ass roughly. Carson chuckles when I let out a low whimper, my body shuddering against his solid and warm frame.

I love him being my first too.

I just need more of him. Everywhere.

“Don’t laugh at me.” I swat at him.

“Ok.” He does a motion of zipping his lips.

Carson keeps one arm wrapped around me while he threads his fingers into my hair, gripping lightly. My eyes flutter shut when he starts to press kisses into my neck. My body feels like it’s on fire. If we get any closer to each other, we’ll start to merge.

I’ve never been so hard in my life, “so cute.” He whispers.

“You’re teasing me. It’s embarrassing.” I say, my forehead to his chest. I need him to stop looking at me right now.

“Don’t worry, it’s always too dark. No one can see you whining for me.” He laughs.

“I am not!” I nudge him away lightly, but Carson pulls me back toward him.

“Let’s get another drink.” He says, leading me back to the bar where he orders me a mixed drink this time, “Having fun?” He grins.

“I suppose it’s not so bad.” I take a sip of my drink, it’s purple and kind of tastes medicinal. But nothing matters right now. Carson chuckles and leans back into the bar, watching me.

“Yo Carson!!” A voice yells from the other side of the room. We both look over, and it’s the guys making their way over to us. Dillan is already jumping up and down.

“I almost forgot I told the guys to meet us here.” He laughs.

He did tell me they would be coming out with us a little later. I think that’s great because it’ll stop me from losing my virginity in a bathroom stall tonight. Carson even invited Kane, begrudgingly. I think he just wants to prove he doesn’t dislike him.

But I do notice the way he grips me tighter as he moves closer to us, and gives me a little nod. Avery came out as well. I smile at him as the group gets settled in around us.

“Hey, man.” Sam nods toward me and fist bumps Carson.

“Hey, guys.” I smile lazily, feeling a little more than buzzed from the drinks. I don’t know when I became such a fucking lightweight. But I feel like I’m swimming, it’s a peaceful and dreamy swim though.
