“Thanks.” She looks over her shoulder to smile at me, but then her expression drops. She swallows and mutters, “Back in a sec,” before brushing past me and going to chat with her Sig Be sisters.
“Still don’t get why she wants to be in that sorority. She doesn’t seem the type.” Liam frowns after her.
I find a place next to him, watching her shoulders tense as she reaches the girls and one of them starts talking like they’re about to walk into an exam and haven’t just entered a frat party.
I can’t see Mikayla’s face, and I wonder if she’s rolling her eyes. The little frowns on two of their faces tells me she must be saying or doing something derogatory.
“She’s lookin’ pretty fuckin’ hot tonight, bro. This must be killing you.” Casey laughs, then takes a swig of his beer. “I don’t get why you’re doing this to yourself.”
I groan and throw him a pained frown. “Neither do I. But she’s… cool. I like hanging out with her.”
“So, this is just a friendship thing?”
“Yeah.” I nod, trying to sell it to myself. “Yeah, we’re friends.”
“You’re looking at her like you want to tear that dress off and bone her right in the middle of the dance floor.”
I groan again, then throw him a dirty look. “Stop picturing her naked.”
“It’s in there now. Can’t help myself.” Casey grins. “And since you guys arejust friends, you don’t mind if I?—”
I cut him off with a growl that has him cracking up. Raising his hands as two white flags, he can barely get the words out. “Chill, bro. I’m messing with you.Friends, sure. Dude, I’ve never seen you like this over a chick before.”
Clenching my jaw, I share a quick look with Liam before shooting my eyes back to Mikayla. She flicks her hand up like she’s pissed, and I wonder if I should go over there and rescue her.
“Here you go.” Riley shoves a cup in my hand. I take a gulp, keeping my eyes on Mikayla, who now has her hands clenched into little fists at her sides.
Yep. A rescue is in order.
I’m about to head over there when she spins, her expression mottled with annoyance as she storms back toward us.
“You okay?” I touch the small of her back as soon as she’s within reach.
Darting a glance over her head, I glare at the group of girls, but they’re already disbanding. Except the tall brunette who gives me a sultry smirk.
I frown and turn my attention back to Mick.
Her head’s bobbing like one of those dolls you put on your dashboard. “Yeah, sure. I’m great. Is this yours?” She takes the cup out of my hand and downs the thing in one go, then wipes her mouth with the back of her hand and mutters, “I need a drink.”
Casey snorts and then starts laughing while Mikayla makes a beeline for the keg.
“That chick is something else.” He’s shaking his head, and Asher starts grinning too.
“She really is. Good luck with that, man.”
I growl at his teasing and swing my eyes back to Mick, who’s working her way through a second cup of beer pretty damn fast.
“Help me keep an eye on her,” I murmur to Liam.
“You bet.” He nods and I turn to the rest of the table, silently asking for the same thing.
They all nod, raising their glasses at me and promising to do the same.
I relax a little, knowing they’ve got her back, before turning to see her fill her cup for a second time.
Three beers in under five minutes for a pint-size body like hers. Yeah, she’s gonna be trashed before the hour’s out.
I weave through the crowd toward her, taking the cup from her hand and slowing her down a notch.
