He leans down for one more kiss, soft and sweet. "Night, Doc."

"Night."

He heads for the door, pausing to look back with a smile that makes my knees weak. Then he's gone, and I'm left sitting on my bed trying to remember how to breathe.

My phone buzzes.

Gavin

thank you for tonight

best valentine's day ever

I fall back on my bed, staring at the ceiling. The Switzerland letter catches my eye from my desk.

Fuck. I'm so screwed.

Chapter 17

Thirst Trap

Gavin

Walking back to the frat house, I can't stop smiling. My lips are still tingling. I can still feel him in my arms, the way he wrapped around me as if he belonged there.

My dick is aching and semi-hard in my jeans, which makes walking awkward, but I don't care. Doc kissed me. Kissed me like he wanted to climb inside my skin. Made these little noises that I'm going to be replaying for weeks.

The frat house looks like Cupid threw up on it. Pink and red hearts everywhere, streamers hanging from every surface. Emily must be back with Drew.

"Gavin!” Tyler calls from the living room. "How'd it go?"

I wander in to find most of the guys sprawled around watching some action movie. My smile must be weird because Rex immediately goes, "Oh shit, he's broken."

"Look at that grin," Ian laughs. "Boy got laid."

"I didn't—" I start, then notice James has Caleb pressed against the wall by the stairs, kissing him like the world's ending. "Uh."

"Yeah, they've been like that for an hour," Tyler says. "It's been educational."

As if on cue, Ethan appears at the top of the stairs in one of Tyler's shirts and nothing else. "Tyler! You coming back up or—" He spots me. "Oh! Gavin! How was your date?"

"Good," I manage, trying not to look at his bare legs. Not in a weird way, just in a 'my best friend's boyfriend is barely dressed' way.

Tyler's already moving, throwing Ethan over his shoulder in one smooth motion. Ethan shrieks, laughing as Tyler carries him back to bed.

"Get it, VP!” someone yells.

"Use protection!” Rex adds.

"Shut up!” Tyler yells back, but he's laughing.

I drop onto the couch, still grinning like an idiot. My friends are happy. I just had the best makeout session of my life. Everything is fucking perfect.

"G's got that 'I just discovered dick' glow," Rex observes.

"It's a good look on him," Jeff says, making everyone laugh.

I flip them off half-heartedly, but I can't stop smiling. Let them tease. Nothing can touch me right now.
