When Oaklynn didn’t respond to my teasing, merely gaped into my eyes as if she’d just realized something dooming, I touched her hip in worry. “What’s wrong?”

I could actually hear her swallow before she managed to send me a jerky shake of the head. “N-nothing.” She glanced down, only to add, “I think my thighs are beginning to cramp in this position, though.”

“Oh! Shit. Sorry.”

I eased from heaven and immediately turned away to find a trashcan in the dark to dispose of my condom. Spotting a box of tissues on a nearby desk, I snagged it and returned to Oaklynn, offering her a handful before taking some for myself.

We took care of our own cleanup for the next few seconds, then put our clothes back in order.

When I pulled her panties from my pocket and handed them to her, she seemed startled. “Thanks. I thought I’d lost them in the trees.”

“I was tempted to keep them,” I confessed.

Oaklynn paused from sliding them on and met my gaze before handing them back. “There. A memento,” she offered with a slight shrug.

I took them from her fingers and gazed into her eyes as I repocketed them. “Thanks.”

“Well…” she said, her voice not quite steady as she smoothed her hands over her skirt, then her hair. “That was…”

I lifted my gaze to her face and watched her expression turn unnerved as she searched for the right word. Then she looked up at me and finished with, “Nice. That was really nice. Thank you.”

Nice?

And to top it off, she patted the side of my arm in dismissal.

Arching one eyebrow in amusement over her attempt to keep this casual after the way we’d totally just rocked each other’s worlds, I nodded politely and couldn’t help but torture her, just a little.

“Think it helped?” I asked.

She blinked blankly. “Helped?”

I felt my lips twitch but managed to keep myself from grinning. “You know… With schoolwork. Classes. You not wanting to do anything to ruin this hard-earned opportunity you have at Haverick. Fucking all the horny out of your system in one night so you can focus on your grades again.”

“Oh!” Eyes flaring with recollection, she started to nod before actually answering, “Yeah, oh, yeah. I think this helpedtonsto get my concentration back on the right track. For sure.”

“Good.” I stepped closer and ran my hand slowly up and down the side of her arm. “I’m glad I could assist.”

Her lashes fluttered as she glanced at my hand on her flesh, then she tipped her face up to meet my gaze. “Yes, sir, you definitely did.”

“Because if once wasn’t enough,” I added. “I’d feelobligatedto try again and again—as many times as it took, and in as many places and positions you needed—to finally get everything out of your system.”

I could see it in her eyes; she was half a breath from folding like a deck of cards and telling me she’d changed her mind about this being a one-time deal.

I almost had her right where I wanted her.

Until yelling from outside caught our attention. Together, we turned toward the window and then frowned questioningly at each other before we hurried over to peer out onto the courtyard below.

“Ah, hell,” I groaned when I caught sight of the drunkard stumbling along and bumping into shit, yelling at the girl following him before she screamed back that he was a complete asshole and whirled away to race off.

Oaklynn pointed. “Um… Isn’t that your friend?”

I groaned and shook my head to deny it, only to reluctantly mutter, “Yes.” When Parker tried to sit on a bench only to miss it and land on the ground, I sighed. “I should probably…”

I glanced over to send Oaklynn an apologetic wince, and she immediately waved me away. “Yeah, no. Of course. It’s totally fine. You should go; take care of him. That’s what I’d do for my bestie, Jaylani.”

I nodded but still hesitated, feeling weird about just leaving her after what we’d done. Which was why I hated casual shit. I didn’t know the rules, and now I felt awkward. Did I offer to call again? Tell her it’d been fun, now have a nice life?Loved being inside you; too bad you don’t want me there again.
