“Yeah?” I hear the pride in his voice.
“Get there with me. Hurry.” I punch my hips forward, hoping the feel of my cock sliding against his will take him over the edge.
It does.
No sooner do I start to pulse in his hand, I feel him spilling over both of us. Foreheads pressed together, our chests heave as we try to breath through our release. A strained grunt passes through Aiden’s lips before he brings them to mine, kissing me through the aftershocks. Once again, it’s a little aggressive, but my body is too sated to object. I just go with it.
Once our breathing returns to normal, Aiden releases our shafts and wipes his hand on his pants. “I don’t have anything to clean up with.” He gives me a shy smile.
“That’s okay. I should probably head home anyway. I’ll clean up there.”
“There’s usually a party here every weekend.” Aiden tucks himself away. “You should come by again.”
“Yeah. Sounds good.” I do the same, pausing awkwardly when I’m decent. Back home, before my untimely outing, I had a regular hookup. Someone I thought I had a rapport with, at least enough so that I didn’t question what to do afterward. We’d just share a brief kiss that was the equivalent of ‘until next time’ and go our separate ways.
Aiden must sense my confusion, leaning in to place a quick peck on my lips. “See you around, Liam.”
“Yeah. See ya.”
I walk around the side of the house instead of trying to go back through it, retracing my steps until I’m back at my dorm. My roommate still isn’t there, so I shower quickly and climb into bed, replaying the evening, which certainly made up for the shitty start to my day.
Aiden’s nice. Decently cute. Not someone I want to get involved with I don’t think—it’s my first night here, first year—so a boyfriend isn’t on my radar. But physical contact definitely is, so he might be worth seeing again.
I drift off feeling almost content for the first time in years.
That calm is shattered when a giant weight falls on me without warning, forcefully driving the air from my lungs. As I fight for breath, I hear a startled cry, and the weight disappears as a heavy thud echoes through the room, followed by a faint rustling.
“What the fuck?” I reach for my bedside lamp, and my pleasant mood once again turns sour.
Chapter three
Cruz
“Agh!” My body barely hits the mattress before I spring off it and scoot backward, my reflexes putting distance between me and… What was that? WHO was that?
“The hell is wrong with you?” A lamp clicks on across the room, and even though I need to know what’s happening I can’t keep from shutting my eyes to block out the intrusive light as an agitated voice asks, “Who the fuck are you?”
Blinking the room into focus, my jaw falls open as recognition hits. “Sunshine?”
“Sunshine? Do I look like a goddamn ray of sunshine to you?” Angry hazel eyes bore into mine.
“Uh… I meant it ironically.” I push myself off the floor, scanning the room to orient myself. If my bags are still on that bed, and he’s in this one… Oh, shit. “William?”
“Liam.” His jaw is locked so tight I’m surprised he got that one word out.
“Liam. Cool. So, anyhow, when I left this evening, and you weren’t here, I figured that meant you weren’t arriving until tomorrow. I didn’t expect anyone to be in the room, so I wasn’t paying attention to which bed I fell into.
“You seem to do that a lot.”
“Do what?”
“Ignore everything and everyone around you.”
My nostrils flare as his insult lands. “And you seem determined to be mad at the world, Sunshine.”
“Don’t call me that,” my new roommate barks, and once again, even though I’m the one who wasn’t paying attention, I’m not sure my mixup deserves a death glare.
“I could go with Oscar? Or Scrooge?” Am I antagonizing him? Maybe. But I’m okay with it since he insulted me like a first-grader.
