I rock my hips, taking him deeper with each thrust, and I cry out as I find my release. Connor’s groan is guttural and primal as he follows me into pleasure, his thrusts becoming more disjointed as he pushes his release into me as deep as he can.

“We’re going to be late…” I moan, kissing Connor again.

“I just want to stay here with you,” he whispers.

“You’re so weirdly obsessed with me,” I say with a smile. “It’s gross.”

Connor laughs and eases me off his cock. He sets me back on my feet but keeps hold of me until I am steady enough that we can quickly finish our shower.

Summer

Connor and I hurry through getting dressed. We do a quick search of the dorm, but it looks like Alice must have stayed at her shifter’s place after her dirty little rendezvous. As we leave the building, our phones ping with a notification. Connor pulls his out and lets out a bark of surprised laughter when he reads the message.

“What?” I ask, unable to find my phone in my full bag.

“So you know how Alice mentioned chaining him to a tree in the woods when she was done with him?” Connor asks, and when I nod, he hands me his phone. The alert was a post on Nexus. It’s a photo of the shifter from yesterday, naked and chained to a large tree. There is a sign stuck to his stomach, fortuitously hiding his dick. The message scrawled across the paper says,Captain of the Little Bitch Club.

“Apparently, she wasn’t joking.”

I sigh. “This is not even a little surprising to me.”

Connor laughs, wrapping his arm around my waist and pulling me closer as we walk across the quad.

“I like getting up with you like this,” he says, kissing my temple.

“Maybe next time we’ll be ready in enough time to have breakfast together.”

Alice is waiting at the coffee cart and has already ordered for all of us. She hands me mine first, and I take a long sip.

“Oh, hey, did you get me a muff—” Alice cuts me off by holding up a brown bag with a blueberry muffin in it. She then hands Connor his cup, and he grins at her.

“So,” I begin as we walk toward the building, “you destroyed him, huh?”

Alice takes a loud sip of her coffee. “Hm? Who?” she asks, feigning ignorance.

I give her a look and then reach out to her, wiping a drop of blood from the corner of her mouth. “And you say I’m obvious.”

Alice smirks, flashing her fangs. “I’m not the one having sex in the very public stacks.”

I glance at Connor, looking outraged. “The stacks? What could she be talking about?”

Connor coughs, dropping his voice. “How does she know these things?”

“Because you may be the boyfriend, but I am the best friend. So I know everything.”

Connor tenses, and I laugh, pressing a reassuring kiss to his shoulder.

Alice dry heaves at my small show of affection. “You two are too much.”

When we arrive at the end of the corridor, I lean up on my tiptoes and kiss Connor deeply. “I’ll see you at lunch?”

Connor nods but deepens the kiss.

Alice yanks at my arm, pulling me away from him and to class.

I decide to skip lunch and go to the library to study. I invite Alice to join me, but as expected, she laughs in my face at the suggestion and trots off to the canteen to terrorize Connor and his brothers unchecked by me.
