Tessy’s pov

“Isn’t there an extra room or something I can sleep in?” I asked, nervously pinching my jeans as I stood awkwardly in the middle of his bedroom.

“We don’t have a guest room,” Ryder said, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “Just Tristan’s, and he hates when anyone invades his space.” He tilted his head, watching me closely. “Why are you so tense, Tess? It’s just sleep. Nothing is going to happen between us.”

I crossed my arms, scoffing. “Who said anything was going to h

    Ryder's POV“Hey Ryder, we got a party tonight, you coming?” Owen asked.I couldn't tear my eyes away from my phone. A wide grin spread across my face as I reread the text from Tessy. She’d finally replied, calling me a sick man, and a sudden warmth blossomed in my chest.“You heard me?” Owen added, nudging my arm.“Yes, I did. Not interested,” I said, clicking the screen off.“Come on, Ryder. You’re losing your touch already, man,” Owen groaned. “It’s a party. Lots of girls.”“I’m in a relationship.”“So?” A lazy smirk tugged at the corner of Owen’s mouth. “She isn’t policing you having fun. Besides, you don’t necessarily have to do anything with anyone.”“Owen, go ahead with your party tonight,” I replied, keeping my voice firm. “Still not interested.”“You’re becoming no fun.” Owen chuckled, shaking his head. “Don’t tell me you’ve fallen head over heels for Tessy.”“Who wouldn’t fall in love with her? I mean, she’s Tessy.” Tristan glided over, spraying a fine mist of ice as he cut

    Tessy’s pov“I don’t think we should,” I blurted.Before he could squeeze out a single word, I bolted toward the bathroom, slammed the door shut, and threw the lock.“Come on, Tess,” his voice drifted through the thick wood, wrapped in a lazy, teasing smirk.My heart hammered against my ribs. What is wrong with me? We’d done it again. Cold panic twisted in my stomach, but I cranked the shower handle all the way, letting scalding water drench my hair and steam fill the room. I lathered soap over my skin, scrubbing harder than necessary, trying to wash away every trace of his touch. It doesn't change anything. You're just spiraling. Sophie’s voice echoed in my mind: It’s just sex, Tessy. Don’t overthink it.I shut off the tap. Water dripped from my hair into the heavy silence. That’s when the chill hit, along with a sharp realization—I hadn't brought a towel.“Shoot,” I muttered.I cracked the door an inch, keeping myself hidden behind the frame. Hanging on the outer knob was a plush, d

    Tessy’s pov“We… we don’t have to do this if—”Before he can even finish the sentence, I slam my lips back over his, drowning his doubts in a deeper, wilder kiss. Ryder shifts instantly, matching my frantic pace as he presses me back into the mattress. Hovering over me, his heavy weight anchors me to the bed while my body reacts on pure instinct, soaking in every touch it’s been craving. I should put a stop to this. I shouldn't want this. But as his mouth moves greedily against mine, I can’t bring myself to pull away.He breaks the kiss, dragging his lips down the column of my throat and biting into the sensitive skin of my neck. A shuddering whimper escapes me. The sharp, sweet bite sends a jolt straight between my legs before he captures my mouth again, devouring me with an intensity that guarantees we’re about to end up fucking again.“Ryder, wait,” I gasp, placing a hand against his chest to slow him down.He freezes instantly, staring down at me with a raw, vulnerable look that m

It’s just sleep. Nothing is going to happen between us.”I crossed my arms, scoffing. “Who said anything was going to happen?” My cheeks burned as I added, “I just can’t sleep in these clothes.”“I’ve got you covered.” He tossed a heavy cotton shirt toward me. “Take a shower and throw this on.”I caught it and ducked straight into his bathroom. The sharp scent of cedar and expensive cologne hit me immediately. Scanning the counter for soap, I found a staggering array of women's skincare products and shampoos. Of course. A player like Ryder King was bound to have an endless stream of girls over. I squeezed my eye

    Ryder’s POV“Alright then, two black coffees coming right up,” Tessy said, forcing a polite smile onto her face.“I’ll go grab a table over there,” Tristan offered, gesturing toward a booth in the corner.I gave him a short nod, but my eyes remained glued to Tessy as she turned to work on the espresso machine. Feeling the weight of my stare, her gaze shifted up to meet mine.“What are you looking at?” she asked, a clear edge of annoyance lacing her tone.“Can’t a guy just admire his girlfriend anymore?” I smirked, leaning casually against the counter.Her brow furrowed into a tight frown—a reaction that only made my smile widen.“Don’t make this weird,” she muttered, sliding a mug beneath the dispenser. “Go sit down and wait for your coffee.”“Alright, fine... but honestly, Tessy, do you really need to keep working here? I am your boyfriend. I could easily double your tutoring fee.” My tone turned genuine, stepping closer.Tessy let out a dry breath, flashing me a tight, forced smile.

    Tessy’s POVSophie kept her sharp gaze locked on me. I immediately looked away, pretending to be intensely fascinated by the decor across the room while letting out a low, nonchalant hum. When I finally dared to glance back, she was still staring at me, unblinking.“Are you really going to do this right now?” Sophie asked, annoyance lacing her voice.“Do what?” I asked, playing dumb.“Aren’t you going to tell me how it went with Ryder? Was the sex good? Did he actually give you an orgasm?” she pressed desperately, leaning across the table.“Sophie! You know you’re not supposed to pry into other people’s sex lives like that,” I replied.“Oh, please! I tell you literally everything about whoever I hook up with!” she huffed, rolling her eyes.“You do that because you want to,” I pointed out gently. “I never actually ask you to spill the details.”“Wow. Is this how it’s going to be?” Sophie gasped dramatically. “Fine! Don’t tell me, I don’t even care anymore. I need to get new friends—som
