Addie

As I wake the next morning, I’m relieved to find I’m wrapped in his familiar scent, tucked into the crook of his arm. The second we got to the party, someone gave me a drink and my red cup stayed full the rest of the night, no matter how many times I thought I’d finished it.

I remember bits and pieces of the night before. Brittany saying something that made me laugh hysterically, Zeke and me dancing, the two of us sneaking into a bathroom upstairs. My body is sore and my head is killing me, but as I rest against his chest I feel better than I have in weeks.

As he begins to stir beside me, I glance up to find his indigo gaze on mine as he covers his mouth, releasing a wide yawn. Stretching his limbs, he pulls me closer to his chest and bends to kiss my forehead before wrapping his free arm around my waist.

“Hey baby,” he says in his husky, post sleep voice. “How’d you sleep?”

“Hey,” I whisper, resting my arm over his bare stomach and letting out a yawn of my own. “Good. How about you?”

“Good as fuck,” he groans, making me smile.

As I feel his eyes on me, I look up to see his thick, black eyebrows raised in amusement.

“What?” I ask, grinning as I take in his crazy bedhead.

“My girl got a little crazy last night,” he smirks, making me furrow my brow in confusion as I feel my cheeks begin to heat.

“What are you talking about?”

“You don’t remember?” he asks, his smile stretching wider when I slowly shake my head. “You got a couple drinks in you and you were shaking your hot little ass all over that party last night,” he smiles, running his hand over my thigh.

“No I wasn’t,” I argue, watching him nod over me.

“Oh yes you did,” he continues with a chuckle. “Timberlake came on and it was game over,” he laughs. “I thought I was gonna have to fuckin’ throw down with some dudes…”

“Well, you can’t hold me accountable for my actions where Justin is concerned,” I cut him off. “We have a very deep, meaningful relationship.”

“Yeah, I know, baby,” he sighs, rolling his eyes in amusement. “Then you tried to molest me in the kitchen so I had to sneak you into the bathroom.”

“How noble of you,” I smirk.

“Well, I did promise to defend your honor,” he teases, kissing my cheek before running his hand under the oversized T-shirt I fully intended on taking with me. Rubbing between my thighs, he holds my gaze and hovers over my lips. “I missed you.”

“I missed you, too, baby,” I whisper, loving the feel of his lips on mine as he kisses me gently, stifling my moans.

As he continues teasing me, my breath starts coming out in pants as he moves his lips down my neck, marking my skin before lifting my shirt and exposing my chest.

Dipping his head, he pulls my nipple into his mouth before rolling over on top of me. Caging me in, he wraps my legs around his waist and pushes into me. Holding my eyes, we let out a simultaneous gasp of pleasure and slowly, he begins to move.

“Your pussy feels so good,” he whispers, gripping the edge of the mattress and gradually increasing his pace. “God, I love being inside you.”

“Oh my God,” I groan at his words.

He already has my head swimming, completely overwhelmed with need for him as he takes me. The feel of his hot breath washing over me, panting my name as he stretches me over and over again has me climbing in no time.

Wrapping my arms around his waist, I sink my nails into his skin as he pushes deeper, the combination of his size and his force slowly pushing me to the brink. As I climb, my moans begin to grow louder and he covers my mouth with his own, keeping me quiet. Getting closer, I move my hands up to his neck and kiss him hard, pulling a growl from his chest as I start to pulse around him.

“You ready to give it up already, babe?” he teases, smirking when I begin to nod quickly, letting my head fall back against the pillow. “Let me have it, baby,” he croons, biting down on my lip and making my eyes flutter closed. “Come for me, Addie.”

“Oh my God,” I whimper as he pushes into me faster, sending me flying.

“Come on, baby,” he pants as he keeps his eyes on me, watching me fall apart as his name leaves my lips.

As I pour over him, he lets out a low groan of approval while he takes his lower lip into his teeth, pushing deeper. Keeping a tight grip on his hips, I hold on as I watch him raise slightly and begin driving into me harder, faster. He’s getting closer, breathing hard as he takes what he needs from me and stares into my sated eyes.

“Addie, fuck!” he says through clenched teeth. “I’m about to come.”

“Yes baby,” I breathe, watching his face contort into pleasure as he slams into me hard a final time before slowing the grind of his hips.

“Oh my God,” he grinds out, his pants matching mine as he cages me with his arms and rests his forehead on my still heaving chest.

As we catch our breath, he runs his lips across my jaw, kissing me lightly before coming to a stop below my ear. Kissing me firmly there, he rests his head on my shoulder, both of us letting out a sigh of content.

“Do you have to do anything today?”

“Yeah, it’s film day,” he whispers, letting out a sigh. “It only takes a couple hours, but I have to go or Coach will flip.”

“It’s okay,” I say quietly. “What time do you have to leave?”

“Soon,” he admits, kissing my cheek again before rising off of me to sit on the edge of the bed. When we hear the toilet flush, he pulls my shirt down and reaches for his blanket. “Cover up, baby. Josh is coming in here.”

“He was in there the whole time?” I ask, my cheeks blazing instantly.

“Yeah,” he says, a smirk across his lips as he looks down at me, rubbing my stomach. “I thought you knew that.”

“How would I know that?”

“We talked to him for like an hour last night,” he says, laughing when I look off in confusion.

“Seriously?” I ask in a loud whisper. “I don’t remember that at all.”

“Well, don’t tell him that,” he starts quietly, his smirk growing wider. “You told him he was our best friend last night. He’ll be heartbroken.”

“Oh my God,” I groan, loving the sound of his laughter as my head falls back against the pillow in defeat. “What the hell…?”

“Hey man,” Josh says, coming from the bathroom. “Hey Addie, how’d you sleep?”

“Hey Josh!” I say in an overexcited tone, making Zeke grin wide. “Great, how about you?”

“Good,” he says, giving me an awkward smile. “I’m sorry to be a third wheel. I tried to stay at my girls last night, but she wants me dead, so that was a no go. Hope I didn’t wake y’all up when I came in last night. By the time I got done dealing with that, both of you were passed out.”

Glancing over to see Zeke’s smile widening as I put the pieces together, I smack him playfully.

“You’re so full of crap,” I balk, making him laugh.

“Don’t worry about it, man,” Zeke says, still chuckling as he faces his roommate. “What’d you do to piss her off this time?”

“Ugh! She saw me talking to Meghan Palmer and freaked out,” he starts, rolling his eyes. “She asked me about a play, so I was talking to her and Lisa saw it and went nuts.”

“That sucks,” Zeke says, resting his hand on my hip.

“Yeah, tell me about it,” he sighs. “You’re lucky you’re girlfriend isn’t crazy, dude. It’s fuckin’ exhausting.”

“Sounds like it,” he admits, looking down at me with a soft smile.

“Anyway, I’m gonna head out. Addie, nice to meet you,” he says before looking at Zeke. “I’ll see you there?”

“Yeah man,” Zeke nods, watching him leave before looking down at me. “I gotta take a shower.”

“Okay,” I say, returning his kiss when he bends to my lips.

“Wanna come?” he asks, smirking against my mouth.

“Sure,” I grin, standing to follow him.

Once we’re done, he kisses me and leaves, promising to be back as soon as possible. I switch on the television, trying in vain to find something to watch. I consider going outside, but I know nothing about the campus. After a brief text to Zeke, he reveals that he had to sneak me into his room last night.

Dorms aren’t co-ed. Had to sneak your drunk ass in lol –Z

Shit. So much for leaving…

I’ll be back in about an hour. You okay? –Z

Yeah I’m good. Love you *Addie*

Love you too, babe. Be there soon -Z

Stretching out on his bed, I inhale his scent on the pillows and curl up. Glancing over at the clock, I check the text Brittany sent telling me we’d be leaving at around seven and let out a sigh. I’m glad I’m here and I know Zeke didn’t have much of a choice, but I wish he could have stayed with me. Relieved to know I’ll still get a few more hours with him, I feel a smile creep over my lips. Within minutes, I’m fast asleep.

Zeke

When I get back to my room, I’m not surprised to find her sleeping. Although she’d woken later than her usual, we hadn’t had much rest last night. Setting my bag on the floor beside the bed, I stretch out beside her and run my palm over her side before coming to a stop over her ass and squeezing. As I watch her begin to stir, I take in the way her messy blonde hair falls over her face, hiding her from me.

Gently sweeping it away, I watch her full lips part slightly, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as her thick, black eyelashes begin to flutter. As I press my lips to her forehead, she lets out a quiet sigh and when I pull away, her hazel eyes are on mine.

“Hey,” I smile, letting my hand come to a stop on her stomach as I rest my head beside hers on the pillow.

“Hi baby,” she says, hiding her face into the pillow when a yawn takes over, making me grin. “Sorry,” she smiles, facing me again. “When did you get back?”

“Just now,” I tell her. “Sorry I had to leave. I’m sure you were bored here by yourself.”

“It’s okay, you’re back now,” she whispers, kissing my chin before looking down at her phone. “We still have a few hours before I have to leave.”

“Good,” I smile. “What do you want to do?”

“I don’t care,” she shrugs, cuddling up against my chest and holding me close. “As long as I’m with you, Zeke, I just don’t care.”

The rest of our time together is spent doing a whole lot of nothing and it couldn’t be more perfect. I take Addie for pizza at a place off-campus, squeezing in beside her and smiling as she stretches her legs out across my lap, resting against the wall and facing me.

“You comfortable?” I smirk, loving the giggle that leaves her lips.

“I’m alright,” she shrugs playfully. “It’s a little cold, but I guess I’ll survive.”

“Aww, poor baby,” I tease her, resting my hand over her legs as I stretch my arm out across the back of the booth, smiling when she sticks her tongue out at me. “So I was thinking…”

“Watch out,” she jokes as she takes a sip from her drink, making me chuckle.

“Is your dad coming to get you for Thanksgiving?”

“I don’t know yet,” she shrugs. “Why?”

“Well, my last class of the week usually ends pretty early,” I start. “So I was thinking I could come pick you up and we can drive back out together. You think your dad’ll go for it?”
