He did this so quickly that I didn’t even have time to gather myself before he was on me again, this time without his boxers. He ripped open the condom and looked down to put it on, but I took it from him and slowly shook my head, then scooted to the edge of the bed to put it on him myself, rolling it down as far as I could with my lips alone. Jake grunted with pleasure, his head falling back as I sucked and teased, twirling my tongue around his cock. When I drew my head back, Jake looked down at me, a smoldering fire gaining flames behind his eyes. He smiled that confident, sexy smile and pushed me back down again, shimmying off my pants and lacy underwear. I wrapped my legs around his waist and squeezed him so close to me that I felt our bodies might become one.
As his lips ravished, Jake pushed himself into me, hard, and my body reacted in erotic anguish. Our hips molded together, rocking, thrusting, and I screamed out, unable to contain myself. My fingernails clung and dug into the soft, warm skin on his back, and I felt like if I let go of him, I’d just fall, fall into a land of beautiful chaos, and never return ...
I was Alice, and this must be Wonderland.
“You guys did what?!” Jami said, eyes wide with shock.
“Shhh! Keep it down.” My eyes jerk towards the stairway where I knew Carly was still asleep in bed, despite it being almost eight the next morning. She’d snored half the night, but I still didn’t want her to hear anything. After all, stupid me had slept with her date.
“I am sorry,” Jami said, shaking her head. “But this is news to me!”
My roommate and I were sitting on the couch early the next morning, sipping hot coffee and snacking on a bowl of trail mix before class. Despite his arguments, I made Jake leave after our time together last night because I didn’t want to cause any drama with Carly, even if I didn’t regret a second with him. And admitting to myself and Jami that I didn’t regret a single second with him was unsettling, to say the least.
“I can’t believe you two,” Jami said, dropping her tone. “A week ago, you hated him so much I expected to find all three of them dead in the closet.” She tossed a healthy mixture of raisins and peanuts into her mouth and chewed, looking thoughtful. “And now you screw him in your bed, right next door to your roommate who spent the night sleeping off what I could only assume was alcohol poisoning.” She grinned at me, pleased with herself. “My, my, my Renee Lyon. What a clever little minx you are.”
“I don’t know what came over me,” I admitted, trying to resist remembering how hot my body felt with Jake’s fingers stroking my thigh. “I guess I saw him in another light last night after he helped care for Carly. It was like a whole other side to him, one I didn’t even know existed. It was kind of a turn-on.”
“Kind of? I’d have nailed him, too.”
I sighed, hardly realizing that I was twirling a strand of hair around my finger like a smitten schoolgirl.
“Wait a minute,” Jami continued, eyeing me. She set her mug of coffee down on the coffee table and turned her body to face me, folding her arms across her chest. “Are you telling me that you actually...likedit?”
Heat rose to my skin, and thin layers of sweat formed under my shirt collar.
“What? Blasphemy. Jake Denny and both of his arrogant friends are nothing to me. Nothing at all. I was caught off guard, that’s all. I just needed a good screw, I guess.”
“Right, good cover,” Jami teased with a chuckle. “It’s okay, Renee. You’re allowed to like it. Sex is natural. But—”
“But what?”
“What about the other two? Matt and Aaron? They have a thing for you, too, don't they? And you told me last night that you had been thinking about all three of them recently. Does thinking of them get you as hot and bothered as it does with Jake?”
“Jami!” Shocked, I almost spit out my drink. “None of them get me hot and bothered, okay? Maybe I had too much wine at dinner. After all, they were bullies. My bullies.”
“Not anymore,” Jami sang, and I had to shush her again so she didn’t wake Carly. She leaned back on the couch and stroked her chin thoughtfully. “You want them all, don’t you?”
I rolled my eyes, but she and I knew it was for a reason I couldn’t meet her gaze. “What?”
“You’re hot for all of them, Renee Lyon, and I can see it in your face.” Jami nodded her head, grinning. There was no denying it now, especially to her, so I kept silent, trying to pretend I hadn’t been daydreaming about the three of them, naked, all night and morning long.
“I am not hot for anyone,” I said halfheartedly.
“What is it you want with these boys?” Jami asked after a moment of silence, eyes glinting under the warm streak of sunlight coming in through the window.
“I don’t wantanythingwith them,” I insisted. “Besides, for all I know, Jake was drunk and just wanted some. It probably would have been Carly if she hadn’t passed out, right?”
Jami shrugged. “You still liked it, right?”
“Oh, God.” Reality dawned on me suddenly, and my chest tightened abruptly with such squeezing anxiety that I was almost gasping for breath. “What if this was all a plan? What if Jake slept with me as a bet to the others?Oh my God, what if he tells them about us and humiliates me? That’s all I am to them, isn’t it, some pathetic little girl they could pick on?!”
Jami must have sensed the utter panic in my voice because she wrapped me in a hug, holding me tight until my breathing was almost steady again. I took a drink of coffee, and it hit my throat, scalding, and it felt so good because, for a moment, it distracted me from the horror of what I’d done.
“Everything is going to be fine,” Jami said, getting to her feet to get dressed for school. She glanced back at me as she walked up the stairs and winked. “Don’t focus too hard on those guys in class today. You might just—God forbid—fail out or something.”
