Awakened (Vampire Awakenings) Read Free

packed with people; the party was in full swing as music blared from the speakers. It was definitely going to be an interesting night, he realized as his gaze settled upon Michelle. She was standing in the doorway talking to two guys that he didn’t know, but who were obviously admiring all of her openly displayed charms. She laughed loudly, her head tilting back as she stroked one’s arm flirtatiously.
    Liam raised an eyebrow, but paid her no more attention as he turned to survey the rest of the room. “There’s plenty of girl’s here tonight,” Mike said. “Easy pickings.”
    “Hmm.”
    Mike laughed and slapped him hard on the back. Liam scowled as beer sloshed onto his hand. He wiped absently at it before draining the rest of the cup. He tossed it over the banister on top of the overflowing garbage can. “Want another?”
    “Yeah.”
    Liam stepped off the last stair as Mike led the way to the keg by the door. His gaze drifted back to Michelle. She was still standing in the doorway, but there was another girl with her now. Liam frowned as he paused to study the new addition. She was small, and delicate, with a petite frame that was emphasized by the body hugging clothes she was wearing. Her breasts were high and full, a little more than a handful. Her waist was no more than hand span width, her hips small and round. Despite her tiny appearance, her legs were amazingly long. In the short skirt she wore, he was able to admire the elegant curve of her calves and lower thighs.
    He tore his gaze away from her legs as a familiar tightening began to fill his groin. Her long, golden hair fell freely over her shoulders to spill down her back in thick, cascading waves. Her nose was small, and narrow, with a tiny slope at the end of it. He couldn’t see her eyes, but he imagined that they were as spectacular as the rest of her. Her mouth was full and luscious, a deep rose color that was irresistible. A mouth designed for kissing, he decided.
    “Who’s that?”
    Mike lifted his head from the keg to blink at him in surprise. “Where?” he inquired as he thrust another beer into Liam’s hand.
    “The girl with Michelle, who is she?”
    Mike’s gaze followed his. He chuckled under his breath as he smiled softly. “That, my friend, is Serendipity, or Sera. Forget it you’ll never get close to her.”
    Liam raised an inquiring eyebrow as he took a sip of beer. “Really?”
    “Yep. No one ever has.”
    He shot Mike a questioning look. “No one?” he asked in surprise. The girl was beautiful; he highly doubted that she had any problem attracting men. Even now, there were a bunch of guys hovering around her like moths to a flame.
    Mike turned to him, his soft blue eyes intense as he nodded. “As far as I know she’s never dated anyone on campus, and I’ve never seen her with a guy.”
    “But she comes to Frat parties?”
    “She comes with her roommate, and she leaves with her roommate, or by herself.”
    “Is she a lesbian?” He certainly hoped not, but it was a possibility.
    “Never heard or saw anything like that either. Leave her be Liam.”
    His brow furrowed as he turned to stare at Mike in disbelief. “Why, because she turned you down?” he quipped.
    Mike lifted a blond eyebrow and shook his head. “I’ve never tried.”
    Liam started to laugh as he shook his head. “Yeah right. I know you there’s no way that you wouldn’t try with someone like her!”
    Mike shook his head and bent to refill his cup. “Seriously, I haven’t.”
    Liam stared at him in astonishment. He knew Mike as well as he knew himself, and he knew he had every intention of trying with her. He didn’t believe Mike for one moment. Mike seized his cup and bent to refill it. “Why not?”
    Mike shrugged as he shoved the cup back into Liam’s hand. “I don’t know. I mean she’s hot, don’t get me wrong, but...”
    “But what?”
    He shrugged again as he ran a hand through his disheveled hair. “I don’t know. We had Trig
