I smiled brightly at him. “I am.”

And I was telling the truth. This was much better than I expected, considering how nervous I had been on the ride over.

I didn’t think Dominic and Micah would ever be close to me, but Kai was a good prospect to be my friend.

That had been what I wanted for the longest time.

To just have one good friend.

He chuckled and tweaked my nose. “Can I take you home now?”

He ground his hips slightly against me, letting me feel his hard-on.

Oh, God.

I turned to Kai, feeling a little breathless.

“Told ya,” I said.

It took Kai a moment to figure out what I meant, and he let out a groan in response.

I giggled.

“What am I missing?” Roman asked.

“You don’t want to know,” Kai muttered.

He patted me on the top of my head affectionately before he walked away.

I turned my attention back to Roman. “Take me home and fuck me.”

His eyes turned heated. “Fuck, yeah.”

And that was about all I remembered from the night.

RYLEIGH

I wokeup with a small groan.

My eyelids felt like they were glued shut, my mouth felt full of cotton, and my body ached.

Slowly, I opened my eyes and found warm, brown ones on me.

I leaned back in surprise and winced at the headache that hit me from the sudden movement.

“Good morning,” Roman chirped.

I scowled at him. “Stop being so happy this morning.”

He laughed, and it felt like a box of nails was being dropped on my head.

“And stop laughing,” I croaked out.

“How do you feel?” he asked.

“Like shit. I am never drinking again.”
