One guess and I knew this had to be
the one and only Jake Niles. And I wasn’t a chick or anything, but I saw the
way all of them were looking when Paige wrapped her arms around him with a
squeal, literally making me cringe. I guess the douchebag and I agreed on one
thing, the look of disgust on his face almost made me smirk. Almost.  The guy definitely
hadn’t been beaten with the ugly stick.

Paige

“I can’t believe you’re finally
here!” Jake wrapped me in a tight hug after exiting the locker room, lifting my
feet off the ground, and twirling me around.

I had parted ways with Ben after
the game, letting him know that I was meeting up with Jake afterwards. He
wasn’t too happy, but surprisingly didn’t put up too much of a fight. I still
hadn’t brought myself to break up with him, but I knew it had to be done. I was
just going to wait until after Jake left. I wanted our time together to be fun.

“Mmm baby girl.” He inhaled deeply
with his nose buried in my hair. “I’ve missed that smell.” He sat me back down
on my feet and took a step back to look at me, letting out a low whistle.

 “Damn, college life has been good
to you. I don’t remember ever seeing you in a dress.” His blue eyes flicked
over me slowly and for the first time since being best friends with Jake, I
felt self- conscious.

It seemed like he had changed
somewhat too. His bleach blonde hair was even longer, swept over to the side,
but showing off those blue eyes that were always so intense and different from mine.
And I swear he had gotten even taller.

“Well you look pretty good
yourself.” I felt a blush creeping up on my cheeks the minute the words left my
lips. Since when did we start checking each other out? This was the guy I had
played in the mud with, the guy who I rode bikes with down to the creek and
swam with for hours, the guy who had taught me how to properly throw a football.

“So are you ready to go? I figured
we could drop your stuff off at my room and then head over to a party my
roommate’s sorority is having. Sound okay?”

“Sounds great, lead the way.” He
shifted his duffle bag onto his shoulder and we made the short walk over to my
dorm. After dropping his stuff off, we headed towards Greek Village that was
filled with sprawling southern mansions.

The first time Kitty had taken me
over there for a party, I had been completely awestruck. I had expected some
run down houses, filled with frat boys, but that wasn’t the case. The houses
were absolutely beautiful and I was sort of wishing that I had joined Kitty for
rush when she asked me too.

“Do you think I’m dressed alright
for this?” He held his hands out in front of him and I glanced over, taking in
his outfit, which consisted of loose cargo shorts and a blue polo shirt that
matched his eyes perfectly. All of the girls would be flocking to him the
minute we walked in.

“Yeah, you look fine. At least you’re
not wearing any of your Florida gear; they probably wouldn’t let you in the
door.”

“Oh, yeah?” he asked nudging me in
the side with his elbow. “Well if I remember correctly you used to have quite a
bit of Florida gear yourself.”

“Ah, semantics.” I laughed as his
fingers dug in to my ribs and he started to tickle my whole body. He knew how
sensitive I was when it came to that and how much I hated it, but he did it
anyway. It literally felt like I was dying and I finally made it out of his
grasp, bent over at the stomach trying to catch my breath. “Asshole,” I
murmured out. “I feel like I can barely walk.”

“Here I think I can help you out
with that.” He turned his back to me and hunched his shoulders slightly,
waiting.  “Jakey, I have a dress on…..”

“So what? I’m not looking and if
anyone does, I’ll beat the shit out of ‘em. Hop on.”

“Alright, fine.” I wrapped my legs
around his waist and held on tight, knowing that his rides were always rough. I
swear he tried to make me fall off half the time.

“So that guy at the football game
was Ben, the boyfriend?” He followed my pointing finger, not even out of breath
from the added weight. “Well for now,” I huffed out. “I’m breaking up with him;
I just haven’t gotten the nerve to do it yet.”

“Well I guess you haven’t changed
that much,” he laughed out loud, setting me down on the front porch of the
house that belonged to Kitty’s sorority. “You’re always worried about everyone
else’s feelings, Paigey. Sometimes you just have to follow your heart and do
what feels right.”

“Oh really?” I quirked an eyebrow
at him while smoothing out my dress. “Since when did Jake Niles get so
philosophical?”

“Well you know you aren’t the only
one who’s done some growing up. Sometimes you just have to cease the
opportunity when it’s handed to you.” He reached out to tuck a loose curl
behind my ear and his finger brushed against my cheek.

Strange feelings washed over me
that I had never felt before around Jake and they were starting to freak me
out. Luckily, another group of people showed up, brushing past us and
interrupting our moment.

“C’mon, I want to officially
introduce you to my roommate. I know she’s here somewhere.” We walked through the
front door and into the first level that was crowded with people. I waved to a
few girls I recognized that Kitty had introduced me to, while looking for the
familiar blonde head belonging to my roommate.

My eyes scanned the room and
finally landed on Kitty, who had situated herself on top of a table in the
middle of the room and was shaking her ass for anyone who would watch.
Apparently, someone had started drinking right away. I pushed through mostly
frat boys who were watching the entertainment, while tugging Jake behind me.

 “Kitty, what in the hell are you
doing?” I yelled out, cupping my hands so she could hear me over the music. She
finally looked down and her glossy eyes lit up when she saw me.

“Paige, get up here, let’s give
these boys a show.” I felt hands pushing me forward to help me up but I shook
my head and pulled on her hand. “No thanks, maybe later. Come here, I want to
introduce you to Jake.” I tilted my head behind me and Kitty let out a giggle
as she dropped to her knees to slide off  the table.

“So nice to finally meet you, Jake
Niles. You’re all our Paige talks about and I’ve been swooning over your
picture ever since she put it next to her bed. I swear she kisses that thing
every night before she goes to bed.” Jake’s eyes grew wide with amusement as
his gaze flicked back to me.

“Oh really? And what else does she
say about me?” I rolled my eyes, pulling back as the two went into a deep
conversation. “I’m going to go grab a drink.” But I don’t think either one of
them heard me. I had no idea what in the hell Kitty was talking about, she was
clearly delusional.

I got a cup full of beer from the
makeshift bar in the kitchen and went back out to the dance floor, leaning
against the wall to find Jake and Kitty, but didn’t see either one of them
anywhere.

“Hey Sparky.” Warm breath tickled
against my ear and every sense in my body became heightened instantly. “Hi,” I
whispered out, turning to lean a hip against the wall and connect with those
deep brown eyes that I had missed all day.

“Where’s Ben, did you finally get
rid of him?” He took a drink and licked his lips, which made my mouth instantly
water.

“No,” I answered back, shifting
nervously on my feet. “Not yet, I just felt so guilty and he seemed to be
having such a good time, I didn’t want to ruin it. But he’s not here. I told
him I was going out with Jake, so he took off.”

“Oh, so what about things with us?
Did your feelings change or something?” A hurt look flashed across his face and
I couldn’t help but reach out and run a hand over his. “Of course not, apparently
I just have a hard time hurting people’s feelings.”

“Well that’s not always a bad
thing. I guess I’m being selfish when I say in this case, that I don’t really
care. Where’s the golden boy at? I figured he would be attached to your hip.”

“You mean Jake?” I asked with a
laugh. That nickname was actually kind of perfect for Jake. “He went off
somewhere with Kitty.”

“Really? The guy must be pretty
dumb then. If it was me I would be spending every minute I could with you.” He
tugged on my hand and started me pulling down a hallway. “Come on,” he yelled over
his shoulder. “I need to show you where the bathroom is.”

“But I don’t need…” My thoughts
trailed off as a smile crossed my lips, thinking of just what he was taking me
to the bathroom for. He shut the door behind us, immediately locking it and
caging me against the door.

“I missed you so much. What are you
doing to me?” he groaned out before attacking my mouth with his. His hands
found the hem of my dress and he slid it up over my head. “I’ve wanted to see you
like this all day.” He took a step back and his hungry eyes roamed over my
body, making me feel like one of the sexiest girls in the world with his heated
eyes. “Are you attached to these?” He whispered against my lips, while his
fingers traced the outside of my panties.

“Um…not really?” As soon as the
words left my mouth, a rip echoed through the bathroom and the fabric of my
panties fell to the floor. His warm hands moved to around my waist, lifting me
off the floor and settled me onto the countertop.

He stepped in between my legs and I
wrapped my legs around him that were still covered by my boots. His mouth
devoured mine while his fingers slowly began to thrust in and out of me, his
thumb finding that one spot that brought me right to the edge. “This is mine,”
he grunted out in a husky voice against my lips, while cupping me. “Understand?”

 I felt my head bobbing up and down
in answer; his words were controlling, something I wasn’t used to, but somehow
turning me on even more.

“No one else’s,” he said against my
lips, grinding his hardness into me roughly. My trembling hands fumbled awkwardly
between us, finding the button on his shorts and pulling them down, along with
his boxers. He sprung out hard and warm against my belly.

“Please Dylan,” I moaned out,
arching my hips to try to pull him closer to me. I felt so close to the edge,
wanting to feel that pure bliss that I knew was coming. His fingers slid out of
me and I braced myself for what was to come, but it didn’t. I opened my eyes,
his brown ones staring down at me, filled with such lust were almost black.

“Say it Paige.” Say what? I tried
pulling him closer but he didn’t budge, his feet froze into place. “Say what
you want me to do.” Oh, that’s what he wanted. He wanted me to hear how much I
wanted him, how much I needed him. Well, I had no problem with that. “Fuck me,
Dylan.”

Dylan

“Fuck me, Dylan,” she breathed out
in a soft voice and I swear my dick got even harder when she said it. Her soft hand
reached out to grip me, tugging up and down, and she arched those sweet hips of
hers off the bathroom counter. I couldn’t wait another minute.

I stilled her hips with my hands
and sank in slowly, her tightness wrapping around me like a glove as we both let
out a deep groan. “Dylan, this feels so right with you.” Her eyes squeezed shut
and her legs wrapped tightly around me, pulling me into her deeper.

My hands moved up her sides, over
her breasts and into her hair. I leaned my forehead against hers. “Open your
eyes, baby.” Her wide blue eyes locked with mine and the look she had drove me
wild. I began to drive into her even harder as her hips worked in a circular
motion that made me even crazier.

Every time I was with Paige I wanted
to take things slowly, to enjoy every minute but I couldn’t help myself. I slammed
into her over and over, her low sweet moans filled the tiny space. I sucked on
her neck, while her head was thrown back and we panted together. I could feel
her squeezing around me and I quickened my pace even more to bring her over the
edge. “Dylan,” she yelled out bringing me closer to her but not close enough.
Not even close. I collapsed against her, both of us breathing heavily. “You
alright, baby?”

“More than alright,” she answered
back. “That was…incredible. Exactly what I needed.” I slowly pulled out of her
and helped her down. She pulled her dress back down and I helped her smooth out
her hair, placing one last kiss on her bruised lips. I just couldn’t get enough
of this girl.

We walked back out to the party and
she quickly found Jake. I watched as he flicked his gaze back and forth between
Paige and I. Paige had a red blush to her cheeks and anyone could clearly tell
what she had been doing. “Jake this is Dylan, an um…a friend of mine. He lives
with two of Kitty’s brothers.” I reached out a hand and he shook mine with a
tighter grip than necessary, narrowing his eyes at me.

“Nice to meet you. Well, I’ll catch
you guys later; I have a few people to meet up with.” Paige’s eyes are questioning
as I threw them a wave and I give her a big wink to reassure her.

I just needed to get out of this
place. I really couldn’t see another guy’s hands on Paige tonight. Especially,
not after what we just did. It took everything in me not just to grab her and
take her home with me, locking her in my bedroom right where she belonged.

“Hey Chris, I’m heading home
buddy.” I patted him on the back where he stood on the dance floor with Claire’s
body wrapped around his. Clearly, the two of them made up. “You sure?” He gave
me a strange look and looked behind me. “Aren’t you leaving a little early?
Where’s the flavor of the night?”

“Nah, I’m tired. I’ll catch you in
the morning.” I said bye to a few other friends and headed out to the beater mobile
but not before being sidelined by Sara. What the fuck was she even doing here?
This type of thing really wasn’t her scene. I looked around for witnesses,
thinking she was up to something.
