I—guys—can’t help that.”
Kelly smirked as she tightened the tie knot at his collar. “Yes,
I’m aware of how male anatomy works, Scott.”
“Are you…are you not into guys then?”
“I’m definitely into guys.”
“Then what’s the problem? ’Cause I miss you, Lee. I miss
being able to just walk over to your room to tell you something funny or
stupid. I know this is last minute but unless you really, really want to go,
can we skip the formal and just talk please?” he asked, desperation thick in
his voice. She really missed him too and she would have preferred staying in
the dorm with him to wearing heels all night.
“We can watch movies…or even better, let’s do shots and do
some of the stuff on the Gabel Got To list. Franklin just gave me the bottle of
vodka I asked him to buy…”
“The RA? How’d you work that out?”
“Fixed his computer.” He held her by the shoulders, aiming a
serious, urging expression at her. “So what do you say? You’re my first friend
here and I really want to fix whatever happened.” He winked and smiled. “I’ll
try not to get an erection around you, okay?”
Kelly sighed with exasperation and stepped back. “The truth
is, that day, I was jealous. I was jealous, okay?”
Scott’s brow furrowed. “Of my dick?”
Kelly giggled. “No. I thought you were thinking about
Rebecca because of what we saw…and I didn’t want to stand in your way—” She cut
herself off when his large hands cradled her face suddenly.
“I’m not into Rebecca, Kelly. Don’t get me wrong, she’s beautiful,
but you can’t be that naive…” He trailed off, letting his fingertips skim down
her chest and then her stomach before his fist enclosed the belt at her waist.
She shuddered quietly as warmth built in her panties and she felt herself
getting wet. “When do I even talk to Rebecca?”
Kelly placed her palm on his chest and heard his breath
catch. “I just wasn’t sure because you were staring at her and—”
“My hard-on was for you, Lee,” he whispered with a soft
smile. Scott pulled her toward him and the fabric loosened around her as his
lips touched hers. Kelly immediately lost herself in the whirlwind of the kiss,
clutching his hair, relishing the softness of his lips. It was a sweet kiss but
it sparked a bundle of nerves in her pelvis. “I’ve wanted to do this since I
met you,” he said in between breaths.
“I’m glad you did now,” she whispered back.
“Well I want to ask you something and don’t know if I should.
We haven’t really talked about things between us and we really just started
talking again in general.”
“Uh oh,” Kelly said, fingers still trapped in his hair.
“It’s definitely an ‘uh oh’ question.”
“You’re going to ask me to help you move a body or pretend
to be your alibi or something, aren’t you?” she joked. “Shit, what have you
been up to?”
But he didn’t laugh; he only leaned closer, as if he was
going to kiss her again. “What that guy was doing to Rebecca…has a guy ever
done that to you?” A wash of heat brushed her face in the silence and Scott
cringed, his own face reddening. “Fuck, sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. Are we
moving too fast?”
“No it’s okay. My ex did. He would do it all the time.”
“Was he good at it?”
She shrugged. “I always came but he’s the only person who’s
ever gone down on me so I really have nothing else to compare it to.”
“But you like it?”
Kelly nodded. “Yes…a lot.”
“Would you want me to do it?”
“Yes.”
“’Cause I really want to eat you out, Lee. I’ve been
thinking about it since I saw Rebecca and wishing it was you and me. I’ve
wanted you so badly the past few nights, I’m jerking off in the shower.”
“You too?” she said, laughing in surprise. A flash of lust
hit his eyes in response and within a breath, his tongue was probing her mouth
again as they stumbled backward, until she landed on his desk with
