Micah shrugged, not even atteross pile of clothes and was already pulling the covers back over his head in bed, grunting out a good-bye Must be nice not to have classes until later in the day

I snuck down the creaky old stairs as quietly as I could but this house was really old, and had ed hobble wasn’t helping withThankfully, no one woke up to see h the house

When Ito have toto be yet My clothes were definitely out here but they were hanging fro to be able to get theh My flip-flops were floating in the middle of the pool Fantastic Thankfully, I ree of clothes in et to them, and I wouldn’t have to drive home practically nad

Please, please, please, don’t let anyone be outside I mean this was Frat Row No one should be up before seven ah the house, tiptoeing over the passed out bodies on the floor The h I noticed there were a few other fraternities present God, this place was a wreck I felt bad for the pledges, because they’reup this filth That is one reason I never rushed a sorority I had no interest in being on the bottom of the food chain; I just enjoy their parties

I stepped out onto the front porch and turned to pull the old, heavy, wooden door closed when I heard a faroaned; I took a deep breath and shut the door all the hile I exhaled I turned around to face my humiliation that is my best friend, Cole But it wasn’t just Cole It was Cole and Mason talking to another guy on a motorcycle that I’d never seen before

Okay, so I was going to have to ith this I would not be humiliated Pretty much everyone on Frat Row has seen me in my bra and panties before; it was just different when you had liquid courage coursing through your system versus without That nasty sweat-stained shirt of Micah’s was looking better and better right now I straightened my shoulders and tried the best I could to hide ht in front of ht up to them

“Good reet a lady?” I asked Cole, nudging hi to catch his breath frohing Motorcycle boy was just s my cheeks were not as red as Quinn’s bra

“I’m sorry, love It’s just that I’ve seen you do the walk of shairls walked out of frat houses like this in the uys would be late for class anyiving me a quick kiss on my temple as he squeezed me into him

Quinn and I picked up Cole at orientation our freshht his messy, dirty-blond hair, and football player’s body was hot When she expressed that a little too boisterously behind hirin on his face

“Well, well, well, hello to you too, ladies,” he said in his pleasing Texas accent

I think Quinn and I both sighed out loud at that Being from southern California, we don’t have any kind of accent and neither do any of the guys, usually He’s been with us ever since None of us ever hooked up and that’s probably for the best, because I doubt ould be as close to Cole if either of us had I love Cole like a brother, and he’s pretty protective over Quinn andoffidiots like Mason

Currently, Cole lives in the Sig house, but his best friends fro out here to join hiet an apartment next to Quinn and ht next to us beca all his stuff in the last couple of weeks We’ve been trying to get him toto couys are fun to take to bed and have drinks with, but when you have to study or have any kind of civil conversation, it’s basically i, or breaking so

“Well, I thought I would try so new today Spice up your life a little; keep you on your toes Besides, soenius idea to throw my clothes in a tree out back All of Micah’s clothes smell like sweat, sand, and I don’t even want to think about what else So here I anity in tact Obviously that’s boding well for uys Mason and Cole continued laughing while Motorcycle Boy continued with that frustrating smirk of his

“Daht I’ll go buy your favorite beer,” Mason said while ogling inning of sophomore year It was the worst minute and a half ever I certainly don’t have to worry about breaking rule nuain I usually just ignore his advances

Cole shoved Mason back and smacked him on the back of the head with his paluys I’ve been telling you that was transferring out here from back home I’m sure you’llinto the apartment with me”

Great… so we’ll be neighbors Wow, do I kno touncoaze He was hands-down the et embarrassed, but all of a sudden, I wanted to be anywhere else besidesJaxon Riley in Quinn’s bra and ist, in advanced statistics taking a final I didn’t study for that ritten in Gerht now

I shifted to lift round “Okay, well it was nice to et this was your first iain while I’hbors and all”

Man,on this concrete I bent ht my foot up behind me to rub the botto circles on it His penetrating gaze seeh me, as he intently focused on my foot

“I sure as hell will never forget thisyou like this It’s nice to know I’ll have a hot neighbor”

And cue the blush Not only does he have thatsouthern accent as Cole does, but he just calledhiet out of here
