“I can walk, you know.”
“In those heels, you’d break an ankle.”
She kicks her legs out in front of her as I walk us up the stairs to my room. I glance at her long legs and close my eyes against the image of them wrapped around me as I bury myself in her warmth.
I toss her on the bed and she bounces with a shriek. “Beck.”
I move to my dresser and drag out a tee and throw it at her. “Here, you can change into this.”
Amelia snags it from me and lifts it to her nose, making me smirk.
“Weirdo.”
“Hey, I can’t help it. Your fabric softener smells nicer than mine.”
I shake my head as I walk to the door. “We use the same one, dork.”
She shrugs and giggles as she kicks off her heels, one landing across the room as she kicks it.
“Amelia, don’t make a mess in here,” I warn her with a pointed look. She’s the messiest person I know. How her mind can fathom out the secrets of the universe with such chaos I don’t know. I’m tidy to the point of obsessive and she likes to fuck with me by invading my calm with her own personal brand of bedlam.
“I’m going to go tell Ryker to clear the party out and then I’ll be back.”
“You don’t have to stay.” Her lip turns down. “You can go back to Maple and have fun.”
So that’s her name. Not that it matters, because I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my evening with my best friend. “Find a movie for us to watch. No chick flicks.”
I shut the door and lope down the stairs, finding Ryker with Maple and the brunette where I left them. His friend Archer is with them now and we bump fists. “Hey, bro.”
“Beck.”
Archer is a good guy, more Ryker’s friend than mine. The two have been friends since school. Maple gives me her back with a huff as if she’s offended I walked off in the middle of our conversation. I’m not sure if she thinks I care, but if she does, she’ll be disappointed.
“Ryk, do me a favor, man, and get these people out of my fucking house.”
He lifts his head from the brunette girl’s cleavage. “What’s up?”
I shake my head. “Nothing, just tired.”
“Hmm.”
I fold my arms across my chest defensively. “What does that mean?”
“Nothing, just that you drop everything for Amelia.”
“And? I’d do the same for you or Linc or Harrison, too.”
“No, brother, you wouldn’t but whatever.”
“Hey, everyone out. We’re taking this party back to my place.”
Everyone cheers and begins filing out. Ryker has the coolest digs not far from here. His loft is huge and perfect for partying with its open layout. He bought it after his first app sold for over two million dollars.
I don’t wait for him to leave, knowing he’ll lock up when he leaves. Ryker might have a big mouth with too many opinions sometimes, but he’s a solid friend. I rush back upstairs to find Amelia lying in my bed, with my tee on her body, snuggled up to my pillow. She smiles shyly as I head to the bathroom and change into sweatpants. I take a moment to give my dick a pep talk about Amelia being off-limits and head back out. I don’t even think twice about crawling into bed with her, we’ve done this so many times. She snuggles up to me, her body pressed against my side as I settle my arm around her.
“So, what did you pick?”
“That new superhero one we watched at the movies a few months back.”
