“Don’t worry about it. I have my ways.” It didn’t suck being a high-profile person on campus. Nor did it suck having someone who worked as an academic advisor on campus who could easily be swayed to give me Natalie’s schedule. Was it unethical? Probably. Did I care? Not one damn bit.

She sat quietly while I closed the door. I guess there was something to be said about the element of surprise.

When I slid behind the wheel, she sat clutching her backpack to her chest. “I have a lot of homework.”

“That’s fine. You can work on it when we get to my place.”

“How do you know I have everything I need to do it?”

“Because you’re a planner.” I glanced down at her backpack. “Knowing you, you were probably headed to the library to do some work.” I could see it on her face that she was, although I asked anyway. “Am I right?”

“Maybe.”

I reached out and tapped the tiny diamond stud of her nose ring. “My little nerd.”

She scoffed, but her tanned cheeks flushed with more color, and damn, it was so cute when she did that.Where the hell did that come from?I cleared my throat and started the car.

“Me? A nerd?” she fired back. “Aren’t you the one who told me you have a 4.0 GPA?”

“Yes, ma’am, but I don’t spend all my time in the library.”

“Obviously.” She rolled her eyes.

“I’ve always been a planner,” I answered easily. Everything I did was premeditated and well thought out. From sports to academics—even down to the way I could get under people’s skin. I’d always prepared for A, B, C, and D. That was just how my brain operated… except for when it came to her. But I damn sure wasn’t going to tell her that. Because how this all went down was the most impulsive thing I’d ever done in my life.

Natalie

Axel whisked me through his house, down the hallway, and into his room as if he were late for an appointment. Closing the door behind him, he set my backpack down on the edge of the king-sized bed centered in the middle of the room. “Make yourself comfortable. You can sit at my desk and do your work if you’d like.”

Stunned at how I’d ended up here, I glanced over at the modern desk that was clutter-free, with a few books neatly stacked on the side. Next to the desk was a tall bookshelf with several books lined up and color-coordinated, along with picture frames and trophies. His bed was made, and there were two modern end tables, one on each side of the bed. A large flat-screen hung on the wall across from the bed with a wide dresser beneath that balanced out the room. A few pictures of modern art lined the wall. His room was neat and organized.

He walked over to a door and paused, throwing a thumb behind him. “I’m going to take a shower. I worked out earlier.”

I watched him with uncertainty.

He did his side-mouth lift. “Just make yourself comfortable, okay?” He turned and passed through the door, which I assumed was the bathroom, and closed the door.

Comfortable? How could I be comfortable when I knew he was stripping off his clothes a few feet away? I heard the shower, and my thoughts started spinning in my head. My imagination was running wild with images of his big, muscular body naked. Rivulets of water running down his smooth, tan skin. Lathering up his hands and stroking his large… I bit my lip with just the thought. I’d never seen a guy naked in person. Well, except for the cadaver that we were using this semester in my anatomy class… but that was different. Not something to fantasize about. I mean, some people could have a cadaver kink, but… I shuddered.

Think of something else besides the hot guy in the shower a few feet away.

But I couldn’t.

I thought about how prominent his erection was when he pulsed against me. He had to be big, considering I’d felt his girth, but I hadn’t seen it. I wondered how it would look. Would it be long and thick? I already suspected it would be. Would it hurt if we had sex? Was he going to try and take my virginity? He said he wanted to ruin me, but was he just talking dirty to turn me on?

Were they just meaningless words that he threw out whenever he was around a girl? Was that part of his game? How many girls had he said those exact words to? Was this the next step with us? Him taking my virginity? Is that why he brought me to his bedroom? Was today the day? Is that what he expected? Was I ready?

Whatever you want it to be.

Shouldn’t we establish some guidelines? I wasn’t certain, but it seemed like we might. I was so deep in thought that I didn’t realize the shower had stopped. However, I did hear the door open, and Axel entered the room… with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

“Hey,” he said casually and tilted his head. “You’re still standing in the same spot I left you.”

It took me a second to find my voice because I was staring at him standing half-naked only a few steps away. The bulging of his pecs, the glint of his nipple ring, and the definition of his six-pack abs. The way his belly button popped out like an adorable button, and then the hint of shadow below it that led below his towel.

Seeing his upper body without a hint of clothing was like looking at a beautiful moving canvas with muscles, six-pack abs, and… My mind wouldn’t quit.

“You okay, Hardcore?”
