David nudges his lips against my neck. I want to fight him, but I give in. At least, for a little while.

I let his hands move up and down my body. And I do the same with his. The stress over the last couple days has been almost too much to handle. If I didn’t have David here with me, I would have probably drowned in it all.

When his hands get between my legs, I have to call time out. I jump away and I’m met with a look of disappointment. I’m just as mad with myself as he is but I have other plans for us tonight. Something that I know he will enjoy.

“We don’t have time for that,” I say and walk across the room to get my coat.

“I’ll be quick. I promise.” He grabs my hand and tries to pull me back to the couch. And I almost give in to him. Give in to the feelings that are swirling inside of me. The lust and hunger that I feel for him.

And then I burst the bubble. “We can’t.” And I tug him in the other direction. I throw his coat at him and pull him out the door, grabbing the keys from his hand. This way, he can’t take me back inside. “There are people waiting for us.”

“Who’s waiting for us?” He gives me his best puppy dog eyes as he looks at me and back at his apartment door. I laugh at his lame attempt to take me back and pull him out of the building.

“Trust me, you’ll like this.”

It takes us fifteen minutes to cross campus and get to the football team’s frat house. The music is bumping and everyone is already drunk. David stops me right outside the house.

“Are you sure about this? What about all of the flashing lights?” He runs a hand through my hair and cups at my cheek. “I don’t want you to get hurt in there. I couldn’t live with myself if you did.”

I grab the pill bottle in my jacket pocket. “I’ve been taking my medicine.” I shake the bottle in front of him. “And if anything does happen, I have more with me just in case. Now let’s get in there and have some fun.” David nods along with me and pulls me through the door. I can feel the excitement coming off of him.

For the first time, he gets to share a part of his life with me. Something that he hasn’t been able to do since we’ve met. His football team is a big part of his life. It made him into the man that I’ve fallen in love with.

“There he is.” Dwayne and a of couple barrel-chested men round the corner. Dwayne rushes toward us and throws his arms around David. They get in a quick hug. David goes and shake hands with some of the other guys while Dwayne comes up to me. He holds his arms to the side. “I’m sorry about before, Casey. Are we cool?”

“We’re cool.” He wraps his arms around me and pulls me in for a quick squeeze. All I wanted from him was just an apology. And for him and David to talk it through.

David comes back to us. I’m about to tell him that nothing is going on when a smile breaks on his face. “Glad to see that you guys are getting along.” David throws a hand around each of our shoulders and ushers us into the main living room.

The room is filled with drunk college students dancing. A DJ is at the back of the room spinning his records while the crowd holds up their drinks, all of them chanting “Drop the bass.” Various lights bounce off the walls, hitting me in the face. David checks on me, and when he sees that I’m ok, he grabs several drinks off the table.

“Do you still got it?” Dwayne screams over the thumping of the music.

“Got what?” David asks as I grab hold of his wrist and pull him into the center of the room. I close my eyes and listen to the beat of the music, letting it take control of me. My hips start to move on their own and the rhythm overtakes me.

When I open my eyes, David can’t believe what he is seeing. I grab hold of his waist and force myself onto him. Dwayne grabs the cups out of David’s hands and lets us dance. I throw my hands around David’s neck and force him to move with me.

David never takes his eyes off me. His eyes get watery and he still doesn’t blink. He runs his tongue along his lips and takes me in.

And that’s when the bass drops.

I swing my body around and push my ass against his crotch. I take his hands and place them on my hips, forcing him to keep up with my gyration. His hardness presses against my ass, but I don’t stop.

I throw my hair to the side and stare at him. We lock eyes, and I run my tongue along my lips. “I want you,” I mouth to him. And his cock pulses against my ass. The music winds down and everyone raises their red cups to cheer and clap for the DJ.

David gives me a kiss on the lips, his hands grabbing hard on my ass. “I’m going to make you beg for it.” Dwayne brings our drinks back and I take a much needed sip.

“You assholes! You ruined my life.” Hannah stumbles forward through the crowd of people. Everyone is now looking at us and her. “Why did you have to do this to me?” Her drink drops out of her hand and onto the floor, the alcohol spraying her in the face.

“We didn’t do anything. Don’t be mad at us because your plan backfired,” David growls, the rage returning to his face.

Hannah makes her way to David, almost tripping on the corner of the carpet. She gets right into David’s face and jabs her finger into his chest. I fight the urge to push her away from my man.

“Daddy worked hard to get me those answers,” she wails. “And you just had to ruin it. You always ruin everything for me. You and I were so good together before…” She stops and looks at me. “Before she came into the picture.”

Dwayne appears out of nowhere and grabs Hannah by the hand. “I’ll be handling this.” Hannah stares at us but doesn’t fight Dwayne. Dwayne throws her arm over his shoulder and drags her out of the room, nodding toward David.

Everyone is looking us before David twirls a finger in the air. “The show’s over.” There’s a groan through the crowd and the DJ starts the next track. In a matter of minutes, everyone seems to forget about the outburst and the party resumes full speed ahead.

David and I dance a couple more songs together before he pulls me out into the hallway. He shoves me against the wall and kisses me hard, tongue flicking at mine.

“I’m taking you home. Whether you like it or not.” He hoists me over his shoulder, but I don’t fight him. I’ve been feeling his cock on me all night. I want him more than he can possibly know.
