Be Avery.
 
 I lift my chin and purse my lips, staring at her.
 
 "I need to hear it," she says, her hot breath merging with mine.
 
 "I want you, Lilly," I lie.
 
 Her lips curve as she quickly kisses me.
 
 I stare at her, my heart beating so fast I think it might push out of my chest.
 
 She drags her finger over my spine, beaming. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"
 
 I shake my head and giggle.
 
 Why was I worried?
 
 That wasn't a big deal.
 
 She surprises me, once again pressing her mouth to mine and flicking her tongue with urgency against mine.
 
 I freeze.
 
 "She's a homophobe," a girl declares from the crowd, reminding me we're on a stage.
 
 "I'm not—" I try to turn my head.
 
 Lilly firmly grasps my hair, holding my head so I can't move, and whispers in my ear, "It's just a part, Ivy. Don't give her the satisfaction." Then she slides her tongue back into my mouth.
 
 "Homophobe," the girl hurls again.
 
 My insides quiver.
 
 Pretend it's Dax.
 
 I force myself to kiss Lilly back.
 
 She tightens her hold on me, and I do my best to kiss her how I would kiss Dax.
 
 She moves her fingers between us and grazes the top of my thong, kissing me deeper until my head spins, and I whimper.
 
 Endorphins rush through me.
 
 She grinds her lower body. The heat from her pussy penetrates mine. She pushes me back.
 
 I lose my balance, falling to the mattress. She never takes her mouth off mine.
 
 I close my eyes, my body throbbing, confused as to why I'm not disgusted. I tell myself to end this, but I don't do anything to stop her from kissing me.
 
 Lilly moves her mouth down my neck to my breasts and licks my nipple.
 
 "Oh God," I murmur and slide my hand in her hair, pushing her against me just like I do Dax.
 
 As more adrenaline hits me, her mouth moves lower, and she kisses my pussy through the crocheted material.
 
 What am I doing?
 
 I push her away, sit up in the bed, and scoot back, a cold chill running down my spine.
