I reach for my phone and send him a text even though I know he won’t answer since he’s working.

Me: You can keep me up all night anytime. Like tonight. Before the snuggles.

Surprisingly, the message shows read as soon as I send it before the ellipses dance across the screen like he was already texting me.

BB: Behave, pretty girl. Snuggles ONLY. I told you. We’re doing this right!

Says the guy that held me down on a bar top until I came all over his face.I roll my eyes with a grin as I type my reply.

Me: Whatever you say, bad boy.

Chapter 7

Cory

The past six weeks have been even harder than the six months before. I know it was my idea to keep our relationship a secret from her sister, but it sucks. I want nothing more than to grab her and kiss her sweet lips when she steps into Ball Busters with Alexis to watch the first T.U. Bears Football game of the season. It doesn’t help knowing that she’s only here to see me since she hates football in general.

She looks at me and winks as she takes the stool next to her sister. Livvy is really leaning into the whole sneaking around thing. Giving me secret glances when her sister isn’t looking. Sneaking out of her dorm room after Alexis falls asleep to ride to the lookout with me before sneaking back in at dawn. Although,we haven’t even been able to do that this past week since her classes have started.

I’ve given her more orgasms than she can count and laughed off her pouting about me not letting her reciprocate. While she’s leaning into the secret relationship, I’m leaning into the pleasure Dom role. She’ll stay a virgin untilIsay otherwise. I’m more than happy to make her fall apart and then take care of myself later…even if my dick pouts more than Livvy.

“Hey there,pretty girl,” I say with a wide smile, ignoring Alexis and her signature eye roll. “Still like cherries?”

“Not as much assomepeople,” she snipes with an eye roll that rivals her sister’s.

“Sorry, Cory,” Alexis says, surprising us both. “She’s pissy because I made her come with me to watch the game.”

I nod, barely containing my smirk, because I know Alexis has no clue that her little sister’s attitude has nothing to do with football and everything to do with me refusing to fuck her.

Alexis turns toward Livvy with a scowl. “Seriously, Olivia. You’re a T.U. alum, now. Would it kill you to show some team spirit?”

Livvy looks around the bar pointedly before returning her sister’s scowl. “We are literally the only females here.”

“Just wait.” I laugh. “By the time the game is over, this place will be full of girls waiting for the team to show up.”

Alexis scoffs. “I don’t hang around for all that nonsense.”

“Anymore,” I say under my breath, but of course, neither of the girls in front me misses my comment.

“Excuse me,” Alexis says at the same time Livvy says, “What?”

I shrug. “You hung out with the team plenty of times last season.”

“Correction.” Alexis squares her shoulders like she’s preparing for battle. “I hung out with myboyfriend. Who happened to be on the team.”

“Same thing,” I argue. “Cut the kid some slack.” I nod toward Livvy. “You could have watched the game at T.G.’s Happy Hour and let her have some fun like all the other girls at school.”

Before either of them can comment, Zack steps up and smacks me on the shoulder. “Don’t go sending away my customers, Cory. What the hell is wrong with you?”

I shake my head without looking his way, knowing by his tone that he’s joking. “You’re right, boss. What can I get you ladies to convince you to stay?” I offer them a wide smile and wink toward Livvy when she smiles back.

Alexis maintains her resting bitch face and I find myself wondering how the two of them are even related—and why I ever thought thatshewould be the one for me.

“I’ll have a Long Island and whatever girly shit Olivia wants.” Alexis waves toward the bottles behind the bar. “Just remember to keep hers virgin only.”

“You got it,” I say with a chuckle as Livvy gasps.
