Her tiny, hidden muscles clamp down, milking me as I explode into her.
Another thrust and a tear rolls down her cheek. I kiss it away and pull back, melding our gazes as we move together as one.
“For you. Always.”
EPILOGUE
One year later
Leela
The way Crosbyis staring at me is bordering on impolite.
The two of us are attending the inaugural fundraising gala for the humane society. We’ve done away with the auction, and instead, I’ve planned a huge evening with dinner and live music. My parents and some other families have gotten together to underwrite the event, and it’s been expanded to include all the school’s sororities and fraternities, including Mu Kappa Chi.
Kharlee Binghamton is even in attendance and compliments me on the event.
“I just wanted to apologize for the stuff I said last year. Beta Beta Psi has proven themselves,” she says. I am working hard to be gracious, but past Kharlee’s shoulder, Crosby is watching me from the snack table. He looks hungry for something more than snacks.
“Thank you,” I say, offering her a genuine smile.
“And I’m sorry for threatening a lawsuit. That was uncalled for.”
I’m not surprised by this; I already knew her suit had been dismissed by the district judge. On top of that, the college’s online newspaper editorial team had a field day when the lawsuit came to light, and let’s just say it didn’t paint Mu Kappa Chi in a great light.
“I appreciate you saying that,” I reply, nodding slowly as I notice her slurred words and a sparkle of a tear in her eye. Uh oh. Drunk white college girl alert. Crosby is peering at me over his glass of gin and tonic, and a flush of heat rushes through me. He looks outstanding in a suit. Bless him, he didn’t fight me on having to get fitted for one. He even picked out a tie and pocket square that matches my dress, and I would never have asked him to. He looks almost tame and civilized with his long hair freshly trimmed to shoulder length, his beard groomed and tidied. Almost.
“Also, sorry for saying your parties are tacky and telling everyone your seafood appetizers gave everyone food poisoning last year,” Kharlee says, laughing.
“Wait, what?” My attention snaps back to Kharlee.
Her eyes widen, and she covers her mouth, hiccuping. “Oh no! I mean, No, that wasn’t me. Ok, byeee!” She stumbles off to find her friends, and all I can do is shake my head and watch her walk away.
If she did start a rumor that anyone got food poisoning last year, it did not affect ticket sales.
Suddenly, Crosby is sidling up beside me, his hand planted dangerously low on my hip while the other hand hands me a rum cocktail. Chuckling, I take it from him. “What are you trying to do? Get me drunk?”
His lips graze over my neck, and I feel him murmur against my skin. “Just enough to get you feeling loose enough.”
I can’t help it; the man still makes me shiver. Even after a year of being with him, one look, one touch sets me ablaze. We’ve been arguing about moving in together for a year, but as this is my third year of school, I have to stay and pass the leadership torch on to someone else.
“Loose enough to do what?” I ask.
His hand that rests on my hip travels lower, grazing over my rump.
“Crosby, people can see you touching my butt.”
He growls in my ear. “Do you know how good your ass looks in that dress?”
“Yes, I do, as a matter of fact.”
Crosby downs his drink and plonks it on a table full of empty glasses. “No, I don’t think you do. You look so good I’m gonna bend you over on the bed so I can eat that ass, then put my dick in it.”
“Crosby!” I stage-whisper.
He backs off, and my body is mewling like a sad kitten at the loss of contact. “Alright. If you don’t want that, we don’t have to. I figured you couldn’t handle it. It takes a lot of mental readiness. It’s fine.”
Fuck. That.
