I rolled my eyes. “Relax. He’s a student too.” At least, he appeared to be. I guess I didn’t know that for a fact. He’d never actually said as much to me, but he had a book bag hooked over one shoulder right now, and he was on campus, so hehadto be a student.

Right?

“Which one is he?” Raina asked, squinting across the courtyard.

“Right there.” I pointed. “The drop-deadgorgeousone.”

“I don’t—Oh! Oh my… Wow.” She twisted to lift her eyebrows at me in question. “Do you think he could stalk me too?”

As I refrained from growling at her, she began to fan herself. And all the while Damien walked along, clearly unaware that he was being scrutinized.

“I’m telling you,” Raina said. “If that wasmynew landlord, I’d be calling him over nightly with a leaky water problem. Oh, Mr. Landlord, sir! Come quickly. It’s just so…wet over here.”

“No,” I groaned. “Please stop.”

But Raina was apparently on a roll. “I really need you to get in there and…snake my pipes.”

“Yeah, I will most definitelynotbe saying that to him,” I assured.

Raina shrugged. “Suit yourself. But…”

She didn’t finish the sentence because, across the courtyard, someone behind Damien called his name.

Damien turned and then paused to wait for the other guy—some blond who wasn’t too shabby-looking either—to jog over and catch up with him.

“Fine. So maybe his nameisDamien,” Jaylani relented regretfully. “I still don’t trust him any farther than I could throw him.”

Only for Raina to whimper. “Dear heavens. He knows Foster Union.”

“Who?” I started to ask only to grow distracted and utterly captivated by watching the two men clasp hands and pull each other in for a mini hug. “Gah,” I groaned out a needy whimper. “Isn’t it just so hot when guys bro it out like that?”

“They definitely make it look hot,” Raina agreed, bobbing her head distractedly in agreement.

Jay rolled her eyes, not impressed.

The two men spoke for another few seconds before Damien motioned in the direction he’d been walking and the blond motioned the other way. Then the blond patted Damien companionably on the back of the shoulder and started off away from him.

And as the two men went their separate ways, Damien glanced in our direction as if he could feel us gaze-molesting him.

His eyes met mine, briefly, only for him to do a double-take and squint slightly as if questioning whether he was seeing me correctly. He must’ve decided he was because his eyebrows rose in surprise. Then he waved, his hand lifting slightly with his index finger going higher than the rest of his fingers in one of those super-masculine half-waves that made a majority of the organs in my body shut down so blood could rush to my reproductive system and prepare for some serious baby-making action.

I think my nipples grew hard enough to cut diamonds.

Swallowing thickly, I waved back, and his lips lifted in one corner, not a full smile but something so much sexier. And I could be totally wrong, but I swear that smug look was saying,you’re going to give in any minute now and call, begging me for sex; I know you are.

He didn’t slow his pace or veer toward us but kept walking along as if he had somewhere to be, then he was out of sight and gone, and I felt as if I’d just been ridden hard by an entire ball team of guys.

“Dear God,” I uttered hollowly, gripping a hold of both Raina and Jaylani on either side of me for support. “But I really want that man to snake my pipes.”

“You and me both, sister,” Raina agreed, only to gasp and grip my arm. “Wait! Wait a freaking minute. Is your boy one of the…seven?”

“The seven?” I echoed cluelessly. “Who are the seven?”

“Ooh, I’ve heard of those guys,” Jaylani spoke up, tugging on my other arm now. “Aren’t they supposedly the hottest men on campus?”

“Uh...not supposedly,” Raina answered, already on her phone and tapping buttons. “It’s a hard fact. And in my opinion, they’re, hands down, the finest specimens to walk theplanet.”

I lifted my brows in interest as she concluded with, “And…there he is. I was right. He’s one of the seven.”
