Karaoke night was always wild because some of the regulars were really good. Mac included. We hadn’t been sitting for long when the DJ, Alex, clapped Mac on the shoulder. They talked for a minute, too quiet for me to hear, then Mac nodded. Alex left with a big smile on his face, and I leaned over to yell at Mac.

“What’s going on?”

“He wants me to try something new he’s been working on.”

I raised my brows. “Like an original song?”

“It’s a cover, so I’m not worried.”

It wasn’t the first time Alex had asked Mac to sing something for him. Alex was a music major focusing on production, and Mac’s third love, after football and Eva, was singing. I kept expecting Alex to try to convince Mac to do some demos with him, but Mac swore he didn’t have time with football and classes.

The momentary distraction ended when Riley dropped her hand on my thigh to tuck her leg under her. She lingered for a long second, but to anyone else, it looked like she ignored me to talk to Eva. I kept my eyes on Mac, despite every bit of my attention zeroing in on her hand. Maybe we didn’t suck so bad at keeping things secret.

Mac thumbed over his shoulder. “Alex is waiting on me. Save me a pizza, okay?”

I laughed at his request because I wasn’t saving shit. If he wanted pizza, he could stay at the table. He vacated his seat, and I immediately lost sight of him in the crowd.

Riley’s hand slid off my leg, and the loss drove me to do something drastic. I leaned closer to her, trying to make myself heard over the pounding music.

“Dance with me.”

She stiffened and scanned the center of the room. If people saw us, they might wonder, but at least I’d have a good reason to put my hands on her. Her eyes finally landed on me, considering.

The air between us became molten. Riley held my gaze for a long moment, then nudged Eva.

“Let’s go dance,” she yelled.

Eva nodded, and I moved to let them out of the booth. She led Eva into the throng. At the last second, Riley sent me a final heated glance over her shoulder.

I knew that look—the one that dared me to push a little harder, take a little more. To follow her.

Seconds after they disappeared, the song changed. The slow sensual beat of “Black Velvet” pulsed through the dance floor, and Mac’s low croon nailed the first bar. I pushed through the people who hadn’t paired off as best I could until I caught sight of two blonde heads, one a foot taller than the other.

Riley and Eva danced together, swaying to Mac’s voice. It wasn’t quite a slow dance song, but the people surrounding us all seemed to feel the same visceral need to fuck on the dance floor.

Eva spotted me first. She jerked her chin at me, and I saw enough of Riley’s face to watch the smirk curl the edge of her lips. Eva’s eyes narrowed as she figured out Riley’s plan.

My girlfriend could be devious when she wanted to be. With a raised brow, Eva reached out to yank me closer to them. Riley ended up sandwiched between us, the bottom edge of her dress at my fingertips.

Under the cover of the sweaty mass surrounding us, I circled Riley’s waist and spread one hand over the warm skin of her thigh. She shifted subtly and my thumb slipped under the material to stroke along the line of her panties. Her arms circled Eva’s neck, drawing her closer, as Riley rolled her hips back into me.

My cock strained against my zipper, throbbing from the pressure of her sweet ass.

We moved to the music, me, Riley, and Eva. Most guys would have given their left nut for the chance to touch two beautiful women as they danced with each other, but I couldn’t tear my gaze away from Riley.

She leaned back into my chest, letting go of Eva with one arm to wrap it around my neck. Her dress rode up another glorious inch, and I bit off my groan. Eva shifted to the side slightly, close enough to block the view of anyone looking.

Riley’s chest rose and fell in shallow breaths. She widened her stance, allowing me access if I wanted to risk touching her.

Fuck, I could love this girl.

I couldn’t help myself. I slid one hand to her inner thigh, pressing her clit with my thumb through her soaked panties.

Her gasp was drowned out by the crowd, but I felt it. I wanted to lower my lips to her neck, to suck on the skin there until I left a mark for everyone to see. My hand fisted the fabric of her dress, holding her against my aching cock while she moved.

The room around us disappeared. Football, the championship, our reputations, nothing else mattered but keeping her here in my arms for as long as possible. I lowered my head to brush the shell of her ear with my lips, the closest I could get to kissing her in public.

Riley shuddered, and her eyes closed for a beat. My fingers dug into the flesh of her thigh, grazing her clit one more time before withdrawing. As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t touch her wet heat any longer and maintain my sanity.
