I put the sweater on, then grab my sports bag, keys, and purse.

“I did want an orgasm,” I say, rolling my eyes, and Chase laughs as he slaps my ass on the way out.

Ryder

I watch Liv as she performs a new dance routine. She looks stunning and fucking sexy when she dances. I’m not sure if she’s doing it to tease Chase, since every now and then, she shoots him a smirk. He’s sitting right next to me, sporting an obvious boner in his sweatpants, seemingly frustrated.

They did arrive together earlier, bringing us breakfast and coffee. Chase left for his classes, while Liv worked out with Chris and me. We had a blast, and it was heartwarming to see those two getting back together after Liv left.

Chris doesn’t know the whole story and thinks Liv left because of the misunderstanding with Chase. She was worried sick and asked about her the whole time.

Liv is dancing to “Buttons” by The Pussycat Dolls. She bends over with her back to us and moves her hand up to her butt from between her thighs.Okay, maybe I have a boner now too.I lean forward in my seat just as she bends down again, her side to us, giving Chase bedroom eyes. She puts her hands on the floor, keeping her knees straight and letting herself fall into a split, her ass jiggling when it meets the studio floor.Holy shit.

“Fuck,” Chase mutters before standing up and leaving.

I watch him go and hear Liv laugh when the doors bang forcefully behind him. She stops the music and comes down to where I’m sitting.

“I knew you were teasing him, you little minx,” I say with a smirk, pulling her close to me and kissing her forehead.

“I just had to make a point,” she says with a chuckle.

“Consider it delivered,” I say.

“Remember that for the future, Ryder. Play with fire, get burned.” She winks at me, and I laugh out loud.

“Oh, I can’t wait to test that theory myself.”

I kiss her deeply, my hands holding her head. I stroke her cheek as I break the kiss.

“Are you coming home with me tonight?” I ask her, pulling her even tighter against me and letting her feel how she’s affected me. Her breath hitches and her eyes get hooded, but she gently pushes me away and shakes her head.

“Nope, no boys tonight. I need to catch up on my homework and get that shit over with,” she replies, and I pout.

“I could help you,” I say.

“The only thing you would help me with is getting out of my pants.” She chuckles.Well, she’s not wrong.“So you all stay away from me tonight. I plan to catch up so I can at least do something nice tomorrow before getting back to studying on Sunday.”

“Do you already have plans?” I ask, and she blushes.

“No, but I hoped one or all of you guys would have some time to spend with me?”

So fucking cute.

“Have you ever been to Miami?” I ask her, and she beams at me.

“No, but I’ve always wanted to go!”

“That’s perfect because I ordered some guitar strings and have to pick them up tomorrow. You could come, and we can make a whole day out of it. Shopping trip?”

“That sounds great! Should we ask the others to come too?”

“I’m sorry, baby. Riv is occupied with an assignment, Jax gave Chris a free weekend, and Chase has classes. It would just be us.”

She steps back closer to me and puts her arms around my neck.

“Why would you be sorry for that? I’d love to have you all to myself for a day,” she says, making my heart flutter, and I squeeze her hips.
