"You getting hungry, baby?""Starving. And I want to run our errand before tonight.""Are you going to tell me what it is?"She grinned at me and shook her head. "Not a chance."We stopped for lunch at a Ramen Noodle joint near my house, which was amazing, and we spent the meal laughing at each other as we made pathetic attempts at eating noodles with chopsticks. Aly had made a deal that the first person to ask for a fork or spoon had to pay for lunch, and I wasn't going to let a challenge like that go. Especially given the sorry state of my bank account.Afterwards, and having split the check, we climbed back into her Mini Cooper and she pulled away."Aly, where are we going?""Not telling. It'll ruin the surprise."She was wearing the most adorable smile, her eyes sparkling with mischief. I just couldn't help but smile back. "Fine, be that way. But if you're taking me to be sacrificed in some pagan sorority ritual I'm going to be very upset.""Don't be silly. It's not even a full mo
- Taylor -Damn, I was late. I never liked being one of those riders, the ones who drove ninety miles an hour weaving in and out of traffic. They give all motorcyclists a bad name. But I admit I opened my cruiser up on the way home. I hadn't been able to sleep, so I'd gone out to the warehouse before dawn, figuring it would be the best way to burn the hours until Aly came over.Unfortunately it worked too well, and I lost track of time, forcing me to race to get back to my apartment. I didn't quite make it, as Aly's Mini Cooper was sitting in the driveway when I got there. I didn't bother to open the garage to put my bike away, instead kicking down the stand and stripping off my helmet.There she was, standing just outside my door, grinning widely, brown eyes alight with happiness, just at my presence. God I needed her. I went up the steps as fast as possible until she was in my arms where she belonged, our kiss sending fires raging through my body.I broke away, breathless, turning a
Macie sucked in a breath. "Damn, check that one out. Now, those are what I call pecs."Evelyn laughed. "Geez, didn't you get enough last night? I saw you with Mr. Muscles last night.""Unfortunately one of those muscles was between his ears, but he had his uses." She groaned. "Is it too much to ask for a gorgeous, brilliant, sensitive man?" She said it, but I don't think she meant it. Macie did hook-ups. I'd never seen her with a boyfriend. Still, we didn't press.Evelyn just nodded. "Yes. If you can get two of the three your doing really well.""Hey!" Trent objected, and Evelyn gave him a mollifying kiss."I just got lucky with you, babe.""Uh-huh. No respect at all."We all laughed. The next half and hour passed in nice conversation. Sadie, Noah and I went down for a swim, and when we were coming back up I noticed a couple spreading out a blanket maybe twenty yard up the beach from ours. They were both women, one with long dark hair and a red bikini top and short jean shorts, and th
I felt my eyes start to burn. "I'm sorry, I tried. I, um, I guess I'm not as brave as you think I am.""Hey, baby, it's okay." I could hear the hurt in her voice, but she didn't sound angry."I'm so sorry." A tear rolled down my cheek."Aly, it's fine. I lived in a closet for six years. I understand.""I do have my schedule though. What days do you have off next week?""Tuesday and Wednesday, as usual.""My last class on Tuesday ends at eleven. I could come over.""I'd love that, Aly. I'll be waiting.""Good. Besides, we have an errand to run."I heard her laugh. I loved that sound. "What kind of errand?""You, my sweet, will have to wait to find out.""Mmm, you make me crazy, you know that?" Her voice was low, sultry, and it made me shiver inside. I could see her face in my mind, her hungry expression. Tuesday couldn't come soon enough."Me too, thinking about lying in your arms, you taking me, it makes me not sleep so good.""Really?""Yeah." I let my own voice slip into a soft purr
After the meeting I hadn't been back to the room a minute before there was a knock on our door. Sadie told them to come in, and Evelyn and Macie, our student rep on the Greek council, came in and sat down on Sadie's bed, closing the door behind them.Evelyn tossed her long, shiny black hair. "Can you believe it's finally here? Senior year! And we're going to rule the school!"Sadie chuckled. "Very funny. You don't actually have 'Pink Ladies' jackets for us to wear, do you?""I thought about it, but no." Evelyn, who was actually pre-law, had an almost encyclopedic knowledge of all things Broadway or musical related. I'm not sure if she'd ever told her very conservative parents she was getting a minor in drama, her true love.Macie just shook her head. She was a journalism major and had no desire to do anything else. "So, Sadie have you seen Noah yet?"Sadie set down her brush, cheeks reddening. "No, but I know he's here. He'll be at the party Friday."Evelyn looked at me. "Are we ready
She rummaged through her bag for her toiletries before heading into the bathroom. I had a few minutes to decide what I was going to say, and I could feel my heart starting to beat fast. When Sadie came out she was wearing her glasses and her jeans were draped over her arm, her white panties visible under her tank top, shapely tan legs stretching to the floor. My eyes widened and I looked away as she bent down to get a pair of pajama pants out of her bag and slipped them on.What the hell was wrong with me? Sadie and I had been changing in front of each other for years. I'd seen her a lot more naked than that dozens of times, and there still wasn't any real attraction, not like when I looked at Taylor. But I was aware of her, just like in the driveway, and it felt strange.I jumped up and got into my dresser, pulling out my own set of PJ's and heading into the bathroom myself. I sat on the toilet and tried to collect myself. I felt tears sting my eyes. I wasn't going to be able to tell
