I wasn’t sure what was going on with her. Was it a body image thing? Because I couldn’t find a single thing wrong with changing in front of my two hot bodyguards. Having eyes on my body made me feel fierce. It seemed to make Ash feel the exact opposite. But I got along with her really well. Surprisingly enough, a lot of girls hated me. No idea why.
But I liked Ash. We’d only been living together for a week and we already had dinner together every night. She was my new bestie. And besties helped besties with their self-image. I’d help her break out of her shell in no time. “It’s fine. I’ll go and take Ghost and Teddybear with me. And then you can change into that.” I pointed to the skirt I’d tossed at her. “And this!” I pulled a tank top out of my closet and gave it to her before walking to the door. “See you for dinner?”
“Yeah, that would be great.”
“And you better be wearing that! Later!” I left the room and my bodyguards followed me. Yeah, they were definitely getting annoying. Back in high school it was one thing. All my friends understood that Daddy was a little overprotective. But here in college, they were definitely cramping my style. I’d have to call Daddy and fix this. Or ditch them. I’d figure it out. I didn’t want them to make me lose my first female friend in ages. Ash came before hot bodyguards 100%. I eyed them over my shoulder.How do I make you two disappear?
When I was staring at them over my shoulder I bumped into someone. Literally. No, not just someone. A very handsome someone. Two strong arms caught me. I looked up into dark brown eyes. And the cutest dimple in his left cheek. And that smile?Yum.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
“I am now.”
He laughed and made sure I was stable before releasing me from his grip. He was taller than I first thought. And his shoulderswere so much broader. I bet he could carry me over his shoulder and have his way with me so easily. I bit my lip.
“You new on campus?” he asked. “I haven’t seen you around.”
“Brand new.”
“A freshman?” He raised his eyebrows.
“A freshman with the attitude of a senior who doesn’t give a shit.”
He laughed.
I looked over my shoulder at my bodyguards. “Speaking of not giving a shit…I have an idea.”
“What kind of idea?”
“My first class today is English. Which I speak fluently. So there’s no reason for me to go and I really want to ditch.”
“And what did you want to do for the next hour instead?” he asked.
“Oh, I don’t know.” I placed my hand on his chest. “I was thinking…you.” I watched as his Adam’s apple rose and then fell. “But we have to make a run for it.”
“What?”
“Come with me.” I grabbed his hand and ran off the brick path, pulling him into the grass.
“Where are we going?” he said with a laugh.
“Not here.”
“Get back here!” yelled Teddybear.
It just made me run faster. Where could we hide? I looked back and forth over the green. It was tempting to bring him back to my dorm. But for some stupid reason my security guards had access to that.Damn it, Daddy.So instead, I ran up the steps of the library hand-in-hand with the broad-shouldered stranger.
He wasn’t out of breath at all. He must have been a jock. But he certainly wasn’t the first jock I’d hooked up with on campus. So I immediately nicknamed him Jock #3 in my head as we ran through the library and up a flight of stairs.
“Shhh!” some evil librarian said to us as we laughed.
Someone needed a big dose of the D.
Jock #3 laughed as I pulled him into the stacks.
We were both out of breath now. But before I had a chance to debate whether or not he was actually a jock or not, he kissed me.
Yes, please.
