Page 10 of Necessary Roughness
“As an excuse to chat me up,” I replied. “You saw how she touched my arm.”
“She pressed her tits up against me while walking away,” Knox argued.
“And practically gavemea lap dance at the same time!”
“We have a history. She was in my chemistry class last year.”
“Big fucking deal,” I said. “You barely remembered her.”
We stared at each other, at an impasse.
“Rock, paper, scissors?” Knox suggested.
I put my hand in a fist. “On three.”
“One. Two. Three!”
We both threw down rock.
“One. Two. Three!”

We both played rock again.
“Stop reading my mind,” Knox growled
“You’re the one copying me,” I said as we tried again. Both scissors. “You’re totally cheating.”
“How could I cheat at this?”
“I don’t know. You’re a quarterback. You’re good at reading opponents.”

Threesome.
Sloane leaned forward until her chest brushed against mine, and gave me a lusty smile. “Maybe Iama time traveler, and having sex with both of you is the only way to save the world.”
Goddamn.My cock was fully awake and listening, now.
“Save it from what?” Knox asked.
“Who fucking cares!” I answered. “Let’s go save the world, baby. Your place, or ours?”
Sloane glanced to the stairway to our right. “I bet we can find a bedroom upstairs. Let’s go see.”
