She was belting out the lyrics to Mr. Brightside as the wind whipped through her hair. I couldn’t help but laugh and start singing along. I felt relaxed and free with this shining light of a girl in front of me.

I was so fucked.

Aiden, Nolan, and I were hanging out in the living room playing Xbox while the girls got ready upstairs.

“Yo, do you have any of that one cologne that makes the girls flock?” Nolan asked, referring to my signature cologne that I had custom made.

“Yeah, I can go grab it for you,” I said, standing and heading up the stairs towards my room. I grabbed the blue bottle and went to leave when Keegan caught my eye across the patio. She had her phone propped up and was taking pictures of herself with the sunset in the background.

She’s always doing that, documenting her life through photos and videos. Before I moved in, I wasn’t aware of the massive following that she accumulated since starting college, but it’s incredibly impressive. The girl was a natural at making people interested in her most mundane daily tasks; she was intriguing.

At first I thought the posts were stupid until Nolan explained that she made a lot of money through partnerships and brand deals. I couldn’t help but see the value in that; the power she held by making other people money through her creative lens.

She was wearing a sparkly gold crop top that was loose around her chest and tied in the back. If she lifted her arms then the whole party would get a view of her perfect tits. She paired it with high waisted skinny jeans and another pair of those sinful thigh high boots that drove me crazy, but in tan instead of black this time.

Her hair was in a tight ponytail with little pieces hanging in the front and she had something on her cheeks that glittered in the light when she smiled. My feet were moving towards the door before I could even register that I was walking towards her.

“What the fuck are you wearing?” I demanded as I approached her.

She twirled around, a look of defiance in her eyes, “a shirt,” She said simply.

“Oh okay, sorry, I didn’t realize that you wanted the whole party to see those perky nipples that are clearly on display.” I pointed down at her chest.

She did a little shimmy, “you don't think the boys will enjoy them?”

I growled and moved so fast that she squealed, grabbing her belt loops and dragging her into me. Her hands rested on my chest and her eyes sparkled with mischief. I couldn’t help myself; this possession took over me when it came to her. It’s becoming harder and harder to keep my distance.

“What’s your plan here? Threaten me with a good time?” She touched her pointer finger to her lip, “oh no! I got it! You’re going to rip my shirt off so I can’t wear it! No?” She went back to thinking, “ohhhh okay, okay you’re gonna⁠—”

“Keegan,” I cut her off, “shut the fuck up.”

I gripped the back of her neck and pulled her face to mine so our lips crashed together. She immediately melted into me and opened her mouth so my tongue could delve inside. A soft moan left her throat and I grabbed her ass and pulled her tighter into me.

Pulling away, I looked down at her puffy lips.

“What was that for?” She asked quietly.

“It was a reminder that no one will ever get your blood boiling like I can,” I teased placing a light kiss on her lips, “and also a warning that I will literally rip the arms off of any man who dares to touch you tonight.”

With that she burst into laughter.

She thought I was joking.

“Come on, you big brute, let's get drunk.” She laced our fingers together and pulled me towards her room.

When we got into the hallway, she spun in her heels and snuck one last kiss before we headed down to meet up with everyone who showed up to pre-game. As if it was the most natural thing in the world. This girl had the ability to be my undoing and she didn't even know it.

Keegan

Luke. Looked. So. Hot.

Did I know that my shirt barely covered my boobs when I put it on?

Sure did.

I thought it would drive him crazy all night. What I didn't expect was for him to walk out to the balcony like a caveman and kiss me. I didn't know if my heart was ready for that. I felt like we just became friends again and I didn't want to repeat the cycle where we hooked up and then didn't talk for another three years.
