I shake off the thought and reach out to try the handle, finding it locked. Thank fuck. She left it unlocked after she left my bed last night, so I’m relieved. The relief doesn’t last long, though. It’s still relatively early. Even if she was asleep, she’d hear me knocking. Maybe my uncle sent someone here. He’s exactly the type of spineless pussy to have someone else do his dirty work.
My heart kicks in my chest, my palms starting to feel clammy as my brain convinces me that something is wrong in record time. Walking into my dorm, I consider my options. I could sweet talk the RA into letting me in. She tried coming to bed with me after we had some people over a few months ago, so I’m pretty sure she’d be willing. I grab the baseball bat that Ryan left in the living area. I could bust her door down. Extreme? Yes. Effective? Also yes. And quicker than waiting for the RA.
Walking back over, bat in hand, I pound with the side of my fist three times. A few people who decided to stay on campus over break pop their heads out of their rooms to see what the commotion is all about. Some look horrified. Some look amused. I look down at myself, realizing how I must look pounding on someone’s door with a baseball bat in hand. The tangy taste in my mouth tells me I still have blood on my lip, which I’m sure just ties it all together. I look like a goddamn psychopath.
“Holden?”
Her sleepy, raspy voice has my head whipping back around. She stands in front of me with one earbud in her ear, the other in her hand, staring up at me with confusion. I let my eyes rove over her, realizing that she’s safe and in one piece. And highly annoyed by the looks of it.
Okay, so that might have been a bit of an overreaction.
“What are you doing?” she asks when I still don’t say anything, leaning her head out into the hall and seeing that we have an audience. It’s then that I notice her flushed cheeks, her disheveled hair, and the fact that she’s wearing nothing but a t-shirt that barely reaches the tops of her thighs.
I bend my knees, reaching down to scoop her up with one hand around the back of her bare thigh. She squeaks out a surprised sound, dropping the earbud to the floor. When her legs wrap around my waist and her warm pussy presses up against my stomach through my shirt, my suspicions are confirmed. No underwear. And wet as fuck. The kind of wet that makes me think she was playing with herself before she fell asleep. I’m instantly hard, my dick straining against my jeans.
“She likes to role play,” I say to the nosy fucks still watching. I walk her back into her dorm, hearing their laughter as I close the door behind us.
“Explain,” she demands, trying to slide down, but I tighten my hold, keeping her where I want her.
“I came to see you,” is all I say.
“And the bat?” She arches a brow, holding on to my shoulders.
“It’s…a present,” I say, instead of admitting it was to beat the shit out of a non-existent threat because I was feeling a little paranoid. I prop it up against the wall behind her door. Just in case.
“Uh-huh,” she says, not sounding convinced at all. “Are you going to tell me why you’re bleeding? Or am I just supposed to ignore that part, too?”
I bring my other hand to cup her pussy from behind, sliding my fingers through her slippery flesh. She gasps when I push two fingers inside. “Are you going to tell me why you’re getting yourself off instead of calling me? Or am I just supposed to ignore that?”
She moans when I pump them in and out, laying her head on my shoulder, pushing her ass back against my fingers as I walk us to her room. “You weren’t here.”
She doesn’t even bother to deny it. Fuck, I love when she’s so turned on that she drops her guard and forgets to pretend to hate me. “Were you at least thinking of me?”
“Maybe.”
I take my fingers away, using my other hand to slide into the hair at the nape of her neck, tugging backward until she’s forced to look at me. Her mouth parts on a gasp, her big brown eyes looking up at me, somehow both defiant and needy at the same time. I lean down to kiss her, gliding my tongue along her lip before pushing into her mouth. I swallow her moans as her tongue slides against mine. I fuck her mouth with my tongue and Valen kisses me just as hard, dragging her pussy up and down my stomach, desperate for friction. I pull back abruptly, stopping it just as quickly as it began. I’m panting, my dick so hard that it’s painful.
