My lips twitch with the idea just as my phone buzzes with a message from… my girlfriend.
A smile stretches over my face as I unlock my screen and read it.
Jolie: Hey. You said you’d be back by around 8, right? I hope it’s okay, but Charli let me in, and I’m upstairs in your room trying to study while I wait for you to get back.
Me: Trying to study?
Jolie: Well, it’s kind of impossible to study when you know your superhot boyfriend will be back soon. I think I’d rather just sit in your bed, fully naked and waiting for you.
Me: I’m okay with that.
I let out a soft snicker and add in a winking emoji and then the kissing face.
She sends back a love heart, and then I wait while she finds a GIF. It pops onto my screen, and I laugh at the cute blushing animation.
My leg starts bobbing as I imagine her slipping between my sheets wearing absolutely nothing.
Yep, I am definitely okay with that.
The bus can’t drive fast enough as I count down the minutes until we get back to Nolan.
As soon as we arrive, I rush off that thing and run to my car.
“Where’s the fucking fire, man?” Sawyer yells after me. “You not coming to Offside?”
“Nah, I’ve got… stuff to do at home.”
Cringe. That totally came out wrong.
Darian frowns at me like I’m weird. I really should tell them that I have a girlfriend and stop sneaking her out of the house without them knowing.
Sawyer knows, though. He’s giving me a secret smile, and I turn my back on it. I don’t want him to tell the guys about Jolie… because I should be the one to do it.
I don’t even know why I’ve kept her a secret.
I knew why I initially didn’t say anything—lessons in sex are weird, right?
But she’s my girl now, and I should be proudly introducing her to my roommates. I guess I just want to protect her from guys like Mac who might make her feel small and unwelcome. He can be a real asshole when he’s in a mood. And Darian can be a little over the top, and Jimmy is so shy he can come across like a snob sometimes.
And with Jolie wanting to keep this a secret because of Caroline, it’s just been easier to sneak around.
But maybe I don’t want to do that anymore.
Racing home, I park in the driveway and nearly bump into Charli coming through the front door. She laughs at me.
“What?” I try to play dumb, then remember that she let Jolie in.
She wiggles her eyebrows and playfully whispers, “I like your girl, Benny Boy. She’s cool.” Her nod of approval means everything, and I’m pretty sure Jolie would die if she knew that Charli Gomez thought she was cool.
I can’t wait to tell her.
With a large grin, I take the rest of the stairs three at a time and am soon bursting through my door to find a very sexy woman lying in my bed with the most adorable smile.
“Damn.” I shake my head.
She giggles, tucking her hair behind her ears and patting the bed beside her. “Get naked, Mr. Evers.”
I start stripping, throwing my clothes on the floor and then diving toward her as soon as I’m bare. She lets out a squeal that soon turns into a moan when I kiss her from head to toe and make her come.
