“I guess this is where you guys are headed,” the driver announces, stopping the bus.
When the door chimes open, Jaxon’s already preemptively tucking his head close to his chest.
“Come on, guys,” I say. “Tear it up.”
I go first, like a noble leader, thanking the driver before stepping off and giving my post-workout chest and abs a good flex for the phones.
It’s only then that I spot Lance and his Alpha Theta Mu crew, dressed in their Greek-letter hoodies. Lance stands on the roof, raising his arms and clapping his hands, surely to demonstrate how he just owned our house.
Everyone’s going wild, hamming it up to make a big spectacle of the moment our rivals got their revenge.
The crowd’s so packed in the drive that it takes me a minute to get to the front porch, where I stand and announce, “Guess everyone knows where the party is today!”
The crowd cheers with excitement, and the rest of the frat is already in party mode, meaning we gotta get out the liquor we have, send some guys to grab kegs, and set up the yard and house for a full-blown party because, hell, I need it after that prank.
“Ooh, they got Jaxon’s ass…literally,” one of the pledges says.
“That’s not whatliterallymeans,” I hear someone nearby mutter.
I turn to see a familiar face—Miles Tanner, the guy who vandalized Zeta Tau. He’s near some of the guys from Omega Psi, but keeping his distance, arms folded, glancing around like he doesn’t even want to be here. For a guy who joined a frat, he doesn’t really seem to dig the vibe. More of a loner, even for an Omega Psi. What’s his deal?
“Hey, Rocky,” I hear, pulling my attention away from Miles. Lance heads through the crowd, glancing me over in my sexy lingerie, which I haven’t bothered to cover up since we started getting things together for the party. “I can tell I picked out the right piece.” His hands gravitate right to my body, sliding around my waist and grabbing my ass, earning a few glances. Given our popularity, I have no doubt word’s already gotten around about us, but this is probably the first time some of our peers are seeing it for themselves.
I push up close to Lance, my abs against his hoodie, the zipper cool on my flesh. “Clever little fuck,” I say. “I definitely underestimated you. Is this what all this has been about? You taking my cock so that you could pull one over on me?”
“I’ll have you know I didn’t even have to use that to make the prank happen. It was Ash’s idea, and he’s smart as hell. He’s been watching TikTok videos to figure out how to crack the locks. Also, in case you missed it, Crews from Omega Psi works at the gym, so it wasn’t difficult to sneak in the back.”
“Then I’m guessing Keegan’s idea to get Crews to help us wouldn’t have worked.”
“Damn right. Pissed?”
“Impressed.”
“Not as impressed as I am with you in these,” he says, gripping my ass again.
“Oh, you thinking you want a turn back there?”
His eyes narrow. “Nah. I’m discovering I’m a greedy bottom for that dick.”
“That’s awfully convenient since I’m pretty sure I’m a greedy top for that ass.”
“Sounds like a good fit.”
We share a kiss, and I draw him closer. “I want to sneak you up to my room and get you out of these clothes,” I say, “show you how proud I am of that prank. But we do have to stay at the party for a little while, right?”
“Oh, fuck yeah. I want you and your guys strutting around in these for a few hours before I let you have at this ass.”
I can’t help smiling, and it’s not just because I want to dick down Lance. It’s that fun part of him that I enjoy even more than the sexy stuff. That part that Ryan’s already picked up on.
“So…” I say, “there’s something I wanted to talk to you about.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I was curious if you’d want to…I don’t know, head to the fall festival with me one day. I know you like that, and it doesn’t have to be a big deal, but I’m enjoying what we’re doing, and you’re obviously enjoying it too.”
He laughs.
“What?” I ask.
