CHAPTER ONE

ZANDER

Victoria Gaster was my weakness.

Slapping the hands of several of my football buddies, I strolled through the party, the blaring music thudded my ear drums. Luckily, no one could hear my quickening heart beat over the heavy metal. I winked and smirked at the girls posted on the wall. Their eager eyes combed my body. They wanted me. Shit, almost every girl in Pendleton high wanted me. But I didn’t want them. I tolerated them until I could get what I really wanted. Victoria.

I knew she returned home from college for the summer. My buddy, Hayden, Victoria’s brother and I threw the epic pre-graduating party. The party wasn’t anything like our parents gave us. Lame ass classical music playing throughout. Relatives leaving congratulation cards filled with money in a box in the atrium.

Hayden and I were known for partying like fucking rock stars. If you weren’t invited to our party, you were a fucking unpopular nobody. At our high school, you were either a jock, a newspaper geek, tech geek, or in the drama club. Our buddy Troy was in the drama club and on the debate team. He swore he got more pussy than Hayden and I. Yeah, fucking right.

“Hayden,” I yelled, cupping my hands around my mouth.

His hand rose in the air. I spiraled the football through the air. He caught it in his hands across the living room. We howled and laughed.

Stepping into the large kitchen my eyes met the keg of beer on the large, gray marble countertop. “Fuck yeah!” I shouted.

Bending face up under the keg spigot, I clutched the nozzle, pouring the beer into my mouth.

“Drink. Drink. Drink,” kids chanted, gathering around the counter.

After about two cups, I stood right side up and tossed my fist in the air.

Amanda grabbed my hand, pulling me over to the kitchen sink.

“That was hot,” she smiled, popping her gum.

Her fingers dug into my abs. She leaned up into my ear.

“I know what else would be hot. Me and you upstairs tangled in the sheets.”

I smirked. “Oh yeah?”

She stepped back.

“I’ll think about it. Amanda, be a doll and grab me a vodka.” I winked.

Every time I winked, chicks became weak. Not sure why? But it worked.

I ran my fingers through my long, shoulder length black hair and scanned the room. Jocks surrounded by girls were laughing, drinking, eating pizza, and playing beer pong. One of my favorite games.

Amanda strutted over, placing the red plastic cup in my hand. I pulled her close caressing her waist. I was sure that would make her forget being rejected. Just because I could fuck any girl at school, didn’t mean I did. Desperate chicks who wanted to fuck the entire football team was a turn off. Hell, for me anyway. Who wants to fuck a girl who’s been used up by twenty different dudes? I’ll pass.

Victoria sleeked through the crowded kitchen. She poured vodka into a red plastic cup then locked eyes with me.

My heart raced. I couldn’t reveal to Victoria how nervous she made me. I nuzzled my nose into Amanda’s hair and squeezed her waist.

Victoria sipped her vodka and kept her eyes fixed on me. What the fuck did she want? Then it hit me. She wanted to play. Vicky enjoyed playing games.

She smirked and nodded her head to the side in the direction of the hall. Victoria walked out of the kitchen. Shit, could I allow her to do this to me again? Let me back up.

I’ve been in love with Victoria since I could remember.

Hayden was my best friend. A few of our friends called him by his nickname Eric. Not me. Out of all of our friends we were the closest. We attended middle school and high school together. Running up the wide spiral staircase behind Hayden, boisterous laughter caught my attention halting me in my tracks at the first door on the right. I peeked into the overly pink bedroom. Lying across the bed on her stomach, waving her feet in the air she rested on her elbows, clutching the phone. Her gorgeous smile was bright as the fucking sun. I stared. My throat felt like cotton.

She twisted her fingers in her long, brown locks. Her eyes fell on me and her smile dropped.

“What the fuck are you looking at, sheep boy.”
