LOGINKendra’s PoV
If someone had told me six months ago that’d I'd be moaning under Noah O’Shea, I’d have completely thrown them out the window or something. The boy, Simon obsessed over and over again, had his finger rubbing me down there.
It was almost indescribable.
“Do you like it when I touch you like this?” He asked.
The ecstasy in the room flared like a blacksmith&rs
Kendra’s PoV Simon’s voice shattered the moment like glass. I heard the door creak, but I’d been so lost and wanting Noah to kiss me again—that I hadn’t stop to think. Noah's arm remained firm around my shoulders. A cold sweat broke through my skin I turned to Simon. His eyes flickered to me, narrowing with recognition, before his mouth dropped open and stayed there, completely speechless. “What’s your deal, Warrington?” Noah, bless his heart, asked. Simon shut his mouth, looked to his feet and back up, shaking his head. “N–nothing, I was just… coming to check on you.” “That warms my heart,” Noah said dryly. “But as you can see I'm in better company.” Overkill much? God, shut up Noah! Which I would have blurted if Simon hadn't begun scowling at me like I stole his actual pumping heart. The urge to push away from Noah overcame me, but my feet felt rooted to the floor. Oh my god—I’d just b
Noah’s PoVKit claimed we’d been taking school and my hockey obsession too seriously, as if that were a bad thing, and a party was the perfect way to blow off some steam. I really wouldn’t have picked the same day the women’s division failed at practice, but everyone else won the poll. I skipped practice today to brainstorm with Jayden, whom I'd come to a conclusion about: he was a total ass bent on taking charge of the project, not that I was complaining. I’d headed home, deciding a little booze might quiet the constant ache to have my hands on Kendra. Never in a billion years did I imagine that the locker room would become an uncomfortable space knowing she wouldn’t be working for a while.And what did I find the moment I walked through the front door?Some asshole running his paws over Kendra—No. Wait. That was Orion, the lead singer for The Constellations. My hands curled into fists as they moved i
Kendra’s PoV“Call me that again and I’ll walk away,” I warned Alicia.Alicia winced, scanning me from top to bottom. “Yikes, are you still going with the princess of darkness costume?”I snapped my coat closer, shielding my black mini dress from her sight. “It’s not a costume.”BRRR, it felt like ninety degrees below zero for my tits and wits. I drew my coat's collars closer to my neck as I watched Alicia pile the boxes in the backseat of her yellow Civic. That thing was painfully bright, and I was stunned Alicia dragged it all the way to college. Then we climbed into the car. I pulled my seatbelt across my chest while Alicia fired up the ignition and heater.I exhaled as the heat took away most of the chill. What was I thinking, agreeing to attend some crappy college party like I belonged here? Some part of me was bubbling up, and it wasn’t just about Simon. It was Alicia.The excitement on her face when she
Alicia’s PoV“Take it easy, bud…”“I ain’t your bud,” Lex snapped at Kit. “Don’t talk to my sister.”Of all times Lex chose to be an idiot, it had to be now. Meanwhile, I kept a neutral expression, like I didn't give a damn that I'd been cock-blocked by my brother… or was it hen-blocked? Whatever!Kit and Lex were roughly the same height, but he merely stared Lex down, unfazed, and then he gave me one amused glance before walking off.After he'd gone further, I nudged my elbow into Lex’s rib, earning a grunt. “Hey, what was that for?”My twin yawned into his fists. “Are you going to feed us or what?”Ten minutes later, we were back at my dorm. Mick was sitting on my bed, wolfing down a bowl of hot ramen, while Lex and I exchanged heated glares from the two available chairs I had. “What?” Lex the moron asked, feigning innocence. I swallowed a chunk of my egg. “I don’t understand why you acted like a do
Alicia’s PoVThe men’s hockey division had given us the middle finger by not even trying to be gentle with the game. They were out for our blood. I literally have no idea what pushed me to click sign up for tryouts. Hockey was Michigan’s second favorite sport—not really my cup of tea, but I occasionally enjoyed playing on the ice with my brothers when we were kids. “Whoa, don’t I know you?” One of the male players asked me as we shook hands after the game.I looked up at the handsome fella, recognizing him as Simon Warrington. Kendra's ex-boyfriend. “Nope.”Then I skated away, tugging off my helmet and casting Kit a warm smile. He was sitting in the third row. I’d come to accept that the constant pounding in my chest whenever I thought of him was beyond basic biology. It was unnatural to dream of the same guy some nights; in reality, Kit merely stared back without returning the smile.“Yo Alicia!” A male voice cried from the spectator stand.I froze in place. No. He wouldn’t. I shook
Kendra’s PoVSophie was undeniably fast. Somehow, she scheduled a meeting with Warden the next morning at the office. As I strolled down a sidewalk down to the arena, the bright morning light burned through my lids, my jaw kept clenching and unclenching as I mixed in with a crowd of happy college kids around me. Yes, they had their own lives, mine was practically over. How often had I gone without sparing a thought that they were people like me, struggling to put food on the table, or clocking out and meeting an empty house.Any way, I stretched my arms, shaking off the nervousness for what was to come.Inside the office, Sophie and Warden sat laughing…yes, making joyous sounds. I had to discreetly rub my eyes to be sure that warm expression on my boss’s face wasn’t a figment of my imagination.“Oh. Kendra you’re here,” Sophie exclaimed.“And late.” Warden added, happy mood
