Fuck.

I looked back at Grace and took in her pretty brown eyes. She looked confused as she stared up at me and I forced a smile back on my face. I started the conversation again and stuck to it even as curiosity ate away at me. After a few beers, we went outside and found a quiet spot on the balcony where I kissed her. Grace slipped her arms around my neck and pulled me closer, responding hotly to me as her tongue slipped against mine.

Eventually, I convinced her to leave and go to her apartment. Her roommate was gone for the weekend and we’d have the place to ourselves. It wasn’t that I didn’t bring girls to my dorm. I just preferred not to. We walked out of the front door and turned to walk towards her complex. I hadn’t seen Rosie since the last time on the couch and I reached out for Grace’s hand as we walked. We were there in fifteen minutes and I unlocked her door easily before kissing her hungrily. She moaned and wrapped her arms around me as I turned the knob and pulled us inside.

Kicking the door closed, I pressed Grace against it and kissed her again. She was eager with me and I swept her mouth with my tongue, tasting the beer from earlier. We moved to the couch where I dropped down to pull her over my lap. She’d worn a tight pair of leggings and a light sweater tonight and I could feel her heat against my jeans.

I imagined Rosie with the guy and gripped Grace’s ass tightly as I thrust my hips up. She cried out, and I tried to make sense of it to determine if she liked this. Her mouth claimed mine hungrily, and I knew that she did. I kissed her harder and turned Grace around, pressing her down to the arm rest as she clawed at my back. She tugged at my Henley and I ripped it over my head, watching her eyes rake over me. I worked out a lot and knew that it showed.

I asked her if she’d show me hers now, whispering huskily into her ear. Grace nodded and arched her back, so I could strip the sweater from her body, leaving her in a thin lace bra. Grace wasn’t a curvy girl, and it worked for her. I reached around her back and kissed her again as I unclasped the back of it, moving it so my hand covered her breast. She moaned into my mouth as our tongues danced together and I squeezed lightly. I stripped her bare in between kisses and she did the same to me before I carried her to her bedroom. I felt guilty when I thought of Rosie as I entered Grace. She was wet, willing, and showed a wilder side of her with me as we moved together. I did everything I could to make her feel amazing and fucked her hard once I’d teased her with my tongue and fingers.

Grace was good in bed. She was responsive and moved with me, rocked against me. She would make for a great regular fuck or even a girlfriend if that were my thing. I kissed her when we were finished, being gentle as she pressed against me.

I walked home later that night alone with my hands shoved in my pockets. I could have stayed the night or even the weekend with Grace, but I wanted to be alone. I saw the hurt look in her eyes when I dressed to leave, and the doubt about me.

I never made any promises to Grace. I never did that with women, but I didn’t tell her this would be just the night either. We moved too fast for that. I unlocked the door to my dorm and walked inside as I stretched. I had the feeling of satisfaction from good sex but felt emptier inside. I knew that I was going to need more emotionally at some point.

I changed into shorts and dropped into my bed, needing to sleep. I needed to clear my fucking head. I turned my head to see a framed photo of me with Rosie in our favorite tree when we were kids. One of my cousins took it. I’d had it for years by my bed where I slept, and I knew that Rosie had seen it. We had sex here the most since it was a single room and she shared with Violet. We never spoke about why I had it. We were too much into each other and fucked like animals when we in bed.

It was so fucking confusing, and I turned to my side, closing my eyes to sleep.

I woke up with the sun shining through the window and blinked. I was in my bed and I looked over to see that Violet was sleeping on her comforter, still dressed. I thought back to the night before and remembered her leaving with Brian from one of her classes. Which one? I pressed a hand to my throbbing head and breathed in.

I kissed Ed last night. A lot. We were making out like teenagers on the couch before he took me outside for some fresh air. I knew that he wanted more, and a part of my body wanted to just feel someone inside of me. My heart wanted to be away from Sterling, but I knew that I wasn’t the type to replace him between my sheets. When Ed asked me to go home with him, I told him no. I told him that I couldn’t. He was nice about it and danced with me a bit more after that before making his way to another part of the house.

I hadn’t seen Sterling since he was on the stairs. I saw the girl that he was with mingling with other people, but he was nowhere in sight. I listened to some of the conversations and picked up that he’d left with a girl named Grace. I was jealous and felt ridiculous about that, but I didn’t allow myself to leave with Ed. I wasn’t the kind of girl to leave a party with a guy other than Sterling, which was how we hooked up in the first place. We hadn’t been at a party, but we were out drinking when Violet was out of town one weekend. The first kiss was a few weeks ago and there was too much attraction for me to deny him anything else.

We went back to my dorm that time. Sterling took his time with me, kissing me senseless before we stripped our clothes off. He kissed my face and neck before moving down to the hard tips of my breasts that were begging for his touch. He’d already teased them through my shirt and bra and I was dying inside. His mouth felt so good wrapped around me, sucking firmly as his tongue danced over my skin. I arched my body to offer him more, feeling him slide his hand between my legs, finding me slick and ready for him.

I wasn’t a virgin. There was a boyfriend of a year in high school that I gave my virginity to and then another casual fling after that. Looking back, Sterling hadn’t liked either of those guys, but we drifted apart in high school a bit. Our families were already battling over their similar businesses and neither of us visited the other’s house, anyway. It wasn’t until we were away from the neighborhood and in college that we started hanging out again. By then, we’d both grown up a lot and noticed within the first few times together. The first kiss was electric and made me want him that very moment.

I didn’t come to college to sleep with my childhood friend but once I knew how skilled he was in bed, I knew that I’d never be able to deny him. Sterling was thorough in giving pleasure, at le

ast with me. He also had a reputation with women on campus, so I assumed he treated us all the same way.

My mom talked about how she met my dad in her last year of college and how happy she was. She wanted me to meet my forever guy here as well, but I knew that neither of them would approve of my choice. They didn’t want me with the competition to their wealth. I didn’t care about money. I appreciated that I could attend college without putting them out in any way and loved them for giving me a home for so many years. I just wanted to live my own life now and if Sterling wanted to be with me, I’d want that as well. I just didn’t think that he did because he was clearly still seeing other girls. I’d never ask him not to, and he used a condom with me every time we slept together. That was all I could ask.

Something stirred to my left, and I glanced over to see Violet turning to her side. She still had her makeup on and I smiled lovingly at her as I watched her curl up. She was so different from I was when we came to college and lived life to the fullest. I worried about her at times, but Violet seemed to be careful for the most part. She opened one eye and sighed heavily.

“It’s too early,” she mumbled as I laughed warmly.

“It’s twelve, Vi. When did you get in?” I asked as she yawned.

“I took a car home at four. He lives with too many guys to get any real rest there.” I knew that Violet didn’t make a habit of spending the night at other places to keep things casual. I always woke up with her in her bed no matter what happened the night before.

“How was it?” I pressed as she stretched.

“Brian is a good guy. I might consider a relationship with a guy like him someday.” I raised an eyebrow, and she shrugged. “Maybe.”

I dressed on some clothes to get some coffee after getting Violet some Vitamin Water from our small fridge. I headed down to the stand and bought our favorites, smiling at the girl. We knew her well. I glanced across the campus and saw Grace walking with some friends. She was talking closely with them and the way they were giggling, I assumed she was talking about her night with Sterling.

That put me in a bad mood.

I headed back up with the coffees and we relaxed as we chatted, sipping them slowly. She asked why I didn’t want to go with Ed and I explained that I wasn’t into anything too casual. She gave me a long look, and I knew that she was thinking about Sterling as I blushed.
