Now it’s my turn to roll my eyes. “Don’t give me that. You don’t get to judge me.”
“Oh yeah? Why not?”
“Because. I would have rather it been you, but you have a girlfriend.” I glare at him, until I realize what I just admitted.
Smooth, Kayleigh. Real smooth.
He stands up and looks at me, smirking. He takes a step toward me and I take one back, bumping into the wall and realizing I have nowhere to go. Holden places his hands on either side of my head, caging me. Suddenly, I feel stone cold sober.
“Holden, don’t.” I plead.
“Don’t what?” He’s so close, I can feel his breath on my lips.
I inhale slightly. “Don’t do something you’re going to apologize for later.”
“Hm, noted.”
With one swift move, his lips are moving with mine and his body is pressed against me, pinning me to the wall. I don’t hold back, letting myself have exactly what I’ve wanted all night. He grips my hips.
“This dress looks fucking sinful on you.” He murmurs against my mouth, moving his hands to my ass. “Jump.”
I do as he says and wrap my legs around his waist. He catches me with ease and holds me steadily against the wall. His tongue licks into my mouth and he turns to carry me toward the bed. He lays me down and hovers above me, panting.
“Tell me now if you want to stop.” He studies my face for any indication.
I don’t let myself overthink it. I reach up and pull him down on top of me, reconnecting our lips. I run my fingernails lightly down his back, causing him to moan - and the two of us lose ourselves in each other.
THE SUN POURS IN through the blinds. I throw my arm over my eyes, shielding myself from the light.
I don’t remember my bed being this comfortable. And since when do I sleep naked?
My eyes shoot open as memories from last night play like a movie reel inside my head. Holden lies asleep next to me, his arm draped over my stomach.
“Holden!”
I whisper-shout, nudging him with my arm. He hums in response. “Wake up!”
He opens his eyes and seems surprised to see me. I sit up, holding the blanket to cover my naked body. Judging by the look on his face, I ask the question going through both our minds.
“What the fuck did we do?”
Chapter Eight
I pace around the room, running my fingers through my hair repeatedly. Not only did I kiss my friend’s boyfriend, but I had sex with him, too. If there was ever an award for Worst Roommate Ever, I would get it.
“Kayleigh, stop pacing.” Holden says, trying to get me to calm down.
I shake my head. “This is bad. This is so bad. God, why did I have to be so stupid?!” I realize I put my dress on inside out while I rushed to put my clothes back on. I quickly take it off to switch it around.
“Oh, yeah, or we could do it again. That would solve things.” He quips. I glare at him as I fix my dress and put it back on. He realizes his mistake. “Oh.”
I continue pacing. “Bree is going to kill me. She’s going to know something happened the second she looks at me, and she’s going to cut my head off.”
Holden walks over and puts his hands on my shoulders, forcing me to stop. “The only way she will know something happened is if she notices track marks from you doing laps around the damn room. Now relax!”
I shiver from the cold, my movements no longer keeping me warm. The breeze comes in through the open window and goosebumps rise across my skin. I rub my arms to try to get rid of them.
“Who the hell sleeps with a window open in the middle of fall anyways?!” I sass.
