I take his hand, letting him pull me to my feet, then lean in to give him a hug, but he leans down, pointing to his cheek. “It’s custom here for you to say thank you with a kiss on the cheek,” he says.
“Nice try, lover boy.” I giggle and turn away to leave, but pause, I mean he’s really cute, and he did pay for my drink. Plus we have been getting to know each other for the last hour. A kiss on the cheek is nothing. Before I can talk myself out of it, I lean up on my tippy toes. What is it with all the guys I like being so tall? Maybe I have a type. I move to give him a quick peck, but the little stinker turns his head at the last second, placing a light kiss on my lips, before grabbing my cheeks and deepening it.
I jolt back, and stumble into a pretty redhead who’s giving me a nasty glare. She has her lips pursed as if she's sucking on something sour, and her arms are crossed. Great. She’s one of Penny’s sidekicks and she brought the whole squad of mean girls with her.
“Oh I’m so sorry,” I say hoping to appease her.
“What for? For kissing my boyfriend, or for stepping all over my Jimmy Choos with your dirty-ass boots?” I look down at my favorite pair of cowboy boots, and freeze. Wait, did she say boyfriend?
I give Jase a look and he rolls his eyes.
“Ex-boyfriend, El,” he says, before turning to me. “I’ll see you later, gorgeous.” He shoots me a wink and licks his lips. Then he leaves me to deal with his ex. My cheeks heat, and I know I need to change my panties now. I take a deep breath and will my body to cool down. Ella watches me as I watch him walk away. He meets his brother at the corner and they spin to walk towards Sorority Row. I give East a small wave, but he just glares. I should go over there and talk to him. We have to finish our assignment.
“You made a big mistake, Kansas.” Ella says as her friends laugh, “One rule of the sisterhood, you don’t mess with a sister’s boyfriend. Current, or ex.” She snarls then storms away in a huff. I glance around looking for East, but I’m too late. He's gone, and there are a lot of people staring at me.Can I just go one day without drama and feeling like complete shit?I toss my empty cup in the trash and grab my bag. I pull out my phone to text Connor and see what he’s up to. It may be wrong, but I could use a friend right now. Someone to hold me. And if things were to heat up I wouldn’t say no, especially after that kiss.
Me:Hey, are you busy?
Con:Come over.
Well okay then. I walk down the path to Jhonson Hall and go up the opposite staircase from mine. He’s standing in the hall when I arrive and by the look on his face I know he’s not in the mood to cuddle. Grabbing my hand he tugs me inside, letting the door slam closed. I toss my bag on the table as he grabs me, pulling me tight to his chest, before dominating my mouth. I groan and he shivers when I tug his hair, yanking him closer. His hands drop to my butt and he lifts me up. I wrap my thighs around him as he moves us towards his bedroom. A door slams and a whoosh escapes my lips as he tosses me on the bed. I sit up using my elbows for support, watching as he rips my boots off and climbs over me before kissing me again. I wrap my legs around his waist as he grinds into me making me moan into his mouth. After a few more kisses and thrusts, he pulls back. His face is flushed and he gazes into my eyes as if I am the most precious thing he has possession of. He leans down and kisses me again this time slower and deeper. I pull back and place my forehead on his. Once my breath returns I feel shy, and when I’m shy I’m a total dork. “Hi,” I squeak. He laughs and says hi back before running his nose along mine and kissing me again. Things heat up and I push him off me, grabbing the bottom of his shirt and start to pull it up. It gets stuck and he takes over as I rip mine off, leaving me in a black and red lace push up bra. He groans, eyes flashing with heat, he bites his lip, and attacks my neck with kisses and sucks. My hips arch and he settles again in between my thighs, grinding into the zipper of my shorts, making me tremble. His lips trail lower towards the tops of my breasts, and I lose my breath at the sensation. He smiles and nips my hard nipple through the bra. I grab the back of his head, holding him in place. He growls and grinds harder, hitting me in just the right spot. My legs start to shake and my breaths are becoming faster. “Oh, right there. Oh my god,” I whimper and he moves faster. I release his head and he meets my lips again, helping to muffle my moans. I reach down and run my nails along his abs, looking for the button to his jeans. He pulls back and looks down at me. “Are you sure?” he asks, and the true concern for me and what I want in his voice makes my decision easy. “Yes,” I whisper. Before I can blink my shorts are thrown somewhere and his jeans are off, leaving me in my matching bra and panties, him in his boxers. He starts to kiss between my breasts, moving down my body. I grip his hair, stopping him. “What are you doing?” I gasp. He lifts his head and gives me a smirk, before continuing. His hot breath hits my soaked panties and he growls once more before tasting me through the cloth. My back arches, I throw my head back onto the bed, biting my lip and closing my eyes. I’m so close. I grip his hair tighter and he groans. The vibrations set me off.
“Hey man, what did you wan—”
My eyes snap open and I scream. Xavier is standing in the doorway, with his mouth wide open and eyes glued to Connor’s head between my thighs.Oh my god. Connor growls for a different reason now, and I release his hair. He turns to berate Xavier and I grab the sheets to cover myself. Thank god I didn’t remove any more clothing. I hide my face under the silk and wait for him to leave. A hand touches my stomach and moves up, grabbing the corner of the sheet and tugging it down. Connor’s face appears and he gives me a small grin. “Hey,” he whispers. I close my eyes and groan. “That was…” he trails off and I snort. “Horrible?” I add, and he laughs, “Hot, Cara. That was seriously the hottest moment of my life. Even with dickhead interrupting.”
I open my eyes and give him a tiny smile and he leans down to kiss me.
Before things can get heated I scooch back. “Thank you, Connor,” I whisper. He gives me a dazed smile, “For what?” I shuffle towards the other side of the bed, and he climbs next to me. I turn on my side, and he pulls me close to his chest, spooning me. I sigh. “For just being you. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.”
He presses his lips to my neck and mumbles, “Always, Cara. Even if I have to share you. I’m just happy to have you in my life.” If I was ice cream right now I would be a puddle. This man is seriously incredible.

“Sassy!” I shout at my comatose roommate. She shut my alarm off again. I can’t be late to class. The professor already hates me, and it's hard enough as is, without the glaring and muttering under his breath. Not to mention I have to see East there.
“Why are you yelling?” Sassy moans from the next room. I stomp over to her door and just as I go to open it, I hear another voice inside, “Shhh baby. She’ll hear us.” I freeze and back away slowly. I’m not awake enough to witness what’s going on inside there if the giggles and pants are any clue.
I grab my shower kit and rush to the coed bathrooms, not really caring that I'm in one of Connor’s jerseys and my panties. I bust into the shower area, it’s quiet so I strip off the jersey, tossing it to a bench, and shuffle to the last cubicle.
“Whoa. Now I see what he likes about you,” someone mutters behind me, making me yelp and spin, covering my chest with my arms. Thank god I didn't kick off my undies yet.
“Xavier, what are you doing here?” I gasp, watching as his gaze moves up my body slowly. He coughs a few times and meets my gaze.
“Showering. The other one’s always crowded compared to this one. I think I need another now. Probably a cold one after this show.”
My cheeks heat, and if I wasn't covering my boobs I would probably hide my head in embarrassment. This is the second time in a week he’s caught me half naked.
“Um, okay. I'll see you later.” I squeak, then turn and rush to the stall at the end. Xavier gasps from behind me, and I cringe. Crap, I'm wearing a thong. He totally just saw my bare ass. I risk glancing back, and his eyes are glued to my behind while he bites his fist and arranges his erection with the other.
Oh god I am never going to hear the end of this.

“We have a problem,” I tell Connor as soon as I get back from the showers. He drops the book he was reading and sits up straight giving me his full attention. “What's wrong?”
I take a deep breath then spin around taking the cowards way, giving him my back. “I kinda saw your girlfriend naked again. Well, almost naked and man I think I'm in love.”
