I found myself eagerly responding to him. My hands were on his hair. Molding, caressing. His lips swallowed me and his tongue teased, flared, and played inside mymouth. A dam broke loose, the moment he touched me.

"Mmmm," I moaned. My hands were now feeling the silky strands of his hair.

My cheeks felt the rough stubble on his chin. It felt so delicious!

A throat cleared. At first, I thought it was Zander but he was kissing me, so it couldn't be him. I slowly pulled away from him and turned around. It was Kieran.

His face wasin a teasing smirk, "You found your way to the bathroom, huh?"

I averted my eyes; I was not even going to answerthat question.

Zander spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Yeah, I wanted to make sure she was ok."

"Sure. Alrighty then, I'll, um, see you guys at the booth." Was that a chucklein his voice?

As he was leaving, he gave a quick glance to Zander and said, "Man, lip glosslooks good on you. I just don’t think girls dig that look."

If there was a time when I needed to desperately teleport to another planet, it would be now. Kieran catching us like a bunch of horn dogs was awkward. What was even more awkward was me pawing at Zander. His hair was messed up from my hand massage, his lips were glistening from my lip gloss, and his eyes were still burning into mine. I've never seen a man look sexier than he did at this moment.

If a boy kissed me like that, I should never let him go.

He held my cheek and whispered, "I'll see you back there." His breath smelled of beer mixed with his own scent. I didn't want to pull away. I took my time wipingthe lip gloss from his lips. His blue-green gaze smoldered as I traced his lips with my fingers.

I nodded at his words and slowly followed command.

Inside the restroom, I saw my well-kissed lips in the mirror. My eyes were glazed with hot desire, and thank god, my hair was respectably intact.

I ran cool water on a tissue paperand dabbed it on my neck and chest to cool off. The fog of lust did not fade; it was only restrained for the moment. My lust for Zander was only intensified by all the events leading up to tonight. I might be a virgin, but my body was not immune to these intense emotions. Especially when it came to him.

The guys were busy arguing on who was going to take the college bowl this year when I returned to my seat. It was hard to look at Zander and not remember what happened a few minutes ago. They all tried to include me in the conversation but Iwasn’t familiar with college football, even if my ex-boyfriend was a college football player. I knew a lot about the National Football Association (NFA) though. My dad and I had Sunday football popcorn nights.

Zander did not even bother hiding his interest in me. Peter had to elbow him a couple of times every time Zander’s gaze landed on me. I feigned a wild fascination with the nachos on our table. I could not look at him and not feel the burn in my cheeks.

"So, Ace, who are rooting for this year?" Kieran's attempt at including me inthe conversation was evident.

"Rooting for what?" I asked.

"The NFA. Which team's going to take the crown?" Now, they were talking about the NFA.

The guys quieted and waited for me to answer.

"I haven't been watching a lot of football but, I have a soft spot for New York."

"New York? Zorry Zedona, they really zzzuck this zeazon!" Duncan’s bias against New York was distinct. Why I even found Duncan cute before was beyond me. He was maddeningly annoying!

"Really?" Peter said, "I wouldn't have taken you for aNew York fan."

Zander's eyes grinned, "Interesting choice."

Guys! I told them about my team and now they were shutting down my choice. I shrugged, "I like New York. The last time I saw them play, they were good."

A chuckle came out of Duncan, "Maybe in pre-zeazzon."

Zander brushed Duncan off, "Why New York?"

"They're good," I responded and started sipping more of my margarita.

Kieran snorted. Snorted?! What kind of 23 year-old, supposedly mature guy did that!
