And very fucking wrong.
It’s a flash of skin here and limbs twisted together there. Pleasure filled moans and empty sounding porn star noises. It’s all just a glimpse before I slam the door shut. My back settles against the solid wooden door as I try to blink away the vividly thrusting images playing in my mind.
Where am I going to go now? Maybe I can find Reed or Landon and talk them into tossing the people out of the room for me. Also, I need a change of sheets at least now.
The misery list just keeps growing.
Leaving my backpack and shoes in the hall, I pass familiar students hooting in laughter, couples teasing each other with quiet kisses, and drunks already slumping to the floor.
Lightweights.
Back on the main level, I walk through the crowd without finding Reed. Football players tend to hangout in a pack.
A very intimidating pack.
I find them easily but Reed isn’t anywhere around the hulking men chugging in the living room. One of the guys in the group sees me and reaches out, snagging my arm in his grasp.
He reeks of beer, the scent washing over me as he talks. “Venereal Violet right? Sounds like an interesting name.”
Anyone who finds that to be an interesting name already has some issues.
Like this guy.
I look at him in disgust, trying to pull away from his big sweaty palm. He only grips tighter. “It’s all talk, isn’t it? Feeling like scoring with someone on the football team? I got a few buddies, and I know we could show you a good time. Bet that mouth of yours knows a thing or two. Why don’t you show me what nasty things Knox taught you.”
My throat tightens with outrage.
If he only knew how truly innocent I am. I calm the rising anger within me and stand up on my tiptoes to get so close to his ear that my breath makes the tight muscles in his shoulders flex. “You better let me go before I give you a disease that shrinks your dick even more than it already is. Tiny dick disease. That's a disease you can’t get rid of.”
He drops my hand, horror and anger confusing the low pull of his brow. I don’t give him time to give me any looks of revulsion before I’m already disappearing among the crowd.
Asshole.
Cheers erupt from the kitchen and I follow the noise. It’s more crowded in here. The island at the center of the room is set up for beer pong. Puddles of amber liquid trail all over the pretty countertop and drips steadily over the edge onto the floor. First, my eyes take notice of the swirling tattooed letters touching the sharp jawline of the unreadable expression on my roommate's perfect face.
Knox.
Isn’t that all we are right now? Roommates.
Next I see the leggy blonde wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his cheek. Kylie paws all over him. Her hands roaming over his chest and running through his thick hair. On occasion, her long fingers pass underneath his shirt teasingly, reminding me of how good his hard, warm stomach feels against my skin.
I swallow that thought down.
Knox’s attention finds me among everyone else and his gaze cuts into me while he lets her touch him the way my roaming fingers always did at night.
Except hers are steady where mine always shook.
With both hands, he trails his slow roaming touch along her slim torso and settles against Kylie’s waist, giving her that scrap of attention she craves from him, his eyes never leaving mine.
It doesn’t take Kylie long to notice he isn’t actually paying attention to the show she’s trying to put on for him. She follows his hooded gaze. She turns, her long curls flinging over her shoulder with momentum as she follows his line of sight until she's looking directly at me.
It’s like looking into the privileged pale eyes of someone who’s always gotten what they wanted. But insecurity is a funny, funny thing.
Imagine being threatened by someone who has nothing when you have absolutely everything.
She leans into his hard chest, whispering into his ear. It's something he clearly doesn’t find amusing as he rolls his eyes, dropping her hands and walking toward me.
Tingles of anticipation, fear, and excitement all mix together thickly in my stomach.
