“Oh, so now you’re calling it ‘private parts,’ Ms. Prissy?”

“On him, that is what I call it; on you, it is something else entirely.”

“Yeah, yeah rub it in,” I said, swatting her on the butt. “Back in the day, I heard various women in Slate’s old harem bragging about how well he was hung.”

“Trust me,” she said, giving me a sexy wink, “Slate doesn’t measure up to you, Taz. Close, but no cigar.”

“You little shit,” I said, laughing and tackling her on the bed. “You shouldn’t have been looking at his junk.”

“Hello! I didn’t do it on purpose.”

She was on her back now, her hair all spread out around her. I hovered over her, lowering my lips to hers and fisting my hand in her hair. She laced her arms around my neck, clinging against me with her softness. We kissed gently.

“I’m going to miss you, baby girl.”

“I’m going to miss you, Trace.”

It was strange hearing her call me by anything other than ‘Taz.’ I liked the sound of my given name on her lips.

She sat back up and I immediately pulled her into my lap, stroking her hair.

“Stay and have breakfast with me then.”

“Ohh,” she moaned softly. “I would if I could, but I have an assignment due for Physics class that I have totally blown off and I have to have it done today.”

“It’s not like you have someone breathing down your neck like a professor.”

“Taz, I have to submit it for my grade by five o’clock. I’m really struggling. I set up a “face-time” with my study buddy at two o’clock so he can help me with some of the formula interpretations before I submit it.”

“Who in the hell is your study buddy?”

I saw her hesitation and I knew immediately who it was. I wanted to hear it from her.

“It’s Kyzer,” she replied, pulling herself up and off of my lap.

“Lindsey. What the fuck? Haven’t I told you to steer clear of him?”

She walked over to the chair in my bedroom, gathering up her purse and jacket.

“It’s not like we’re going to be in the same room, Taz. We’re a hundred and forty miles apart. Come on. He’s the best in the class and he offered.”

“Oh, I’m sure he did,” I ranted. “So, there is no one else you could have approached?”

“Not really,” she replied. “If you recall, the semester had barely started. Kyzer is the only one I know and he is the bomb when it comes to science stuff.”

Yeah, if she only knew.

“I don’t know, Lindsey,” I continued. “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

“Taz, I don’t need your permission to have a study buddy, even if it is Kyzer. There is no proof that he is anything but what he appears to be. Do you know something I don’t?”

I couldn’t say shit to her about what I knew because nothing was conclusive yet. I could only tell her what my instincts knew for sure.

“I just feel as if he cannot and should not be trusted, Lindsey. There are too many coincidences.”

“Taz, you’re trained to suspect everyone until you weed out evidence, right?”

“More or less, but Lindsey--”
