Colton laughed as the rest of the group sighed with relief. Aaron looked at him. “Is there a problem with that, pledge?”
“No, not at all.”
I winked at Colton before walking out of the room. My friends and I laughed as soon as we got outside.
“That was too easy.” I smiled, very proud of myself.
Cara practically skipped home. Things were completely back to normal with Aaron now. “I still don’t really understand the challenge, but I’m glad we’re hanging out with the guys.”
The girls were a mess of nerves when we got back to the house. The actives had pulled the same trick on us last year, and it was only because we were forbidden from revealing the pledge experience to anyone that the new class had no idea. They’d just been told to wear bikinis and to plan to be out late.
“I hate doing this,” Jana leaned in to whisper.
“They’ll be fine with it when we get there.”
“Yeah, but that’s going to be awhile.”
“They’ll survive.”
Jana was almost too sweet with the pledges. I wish she’d been in charge for our class.
Morgan’s house could have been called a mansion. One of the beautiful old southern houses a few miles outside the city, I couldn’t even fathom how much the place would have cost. The large rectangular pool was lit up by colored lights, and the deck had enough space to hold all of us.
Morgan made it implicitly clear that the house itself was off limits. However, she didn’t mention the large garage just off the pool house. After an hour of exchanging heated glances with Colt, I slipped off hoping he’d follow. I’d noticed Morgan run into the garage earlier and hoped she hadn’t locked the side door. The knob turned easily under my hand. I walked inside, surprised that Morgan had also left on an overhead light. The room was unlike any garage I’d ever been in. Insulated and huge, a family of four could have feasibly lived there. There were three cars. One of them looked like it belonged in a James Bond movie.
“Nice work.” Colton’s breath was warm on my neck, and I didn’t need to turn around to know he was right behind me.
“I told you I’d get you out tonight.” I leaned back against the trunk of the least crazy looking of the cars. I bet it was still worth more than my mom’s house though.
“I can’t give you credit for that, but you did get us time together, and that’s the important part.” He kissed my neck. I looked over my shoulder, turning in Colton’s arms once I was confident that we were all alone in the garage.
“Why don’t I get credit?” I could barely concentrate on speaking. His hands were busy distracting me with their descent down my back.
“Because technically I’m still here as a pledge. I had to come.”
I whispered in his ear. “Are you here as a pledge?”
“No. I’m here because you look so damn hot in that.” He touched the strap of my black string bikini.
“So I do get credit.”
“Half.”
“Full.” I ran a hand down his bare chest.
“Half.” His lips rested on my neck while his hands found their way to my hips.
“You look good tonight too, you know.”
“I always knew you liked me shirtless.” He grinned.
“Do you like me shirtless?” I teased him.
“Hell yes.” He reached behind me and untied the top string. I expected him to drop the strings, but he held them. “But I don’t know if you’re really ready for this.”
“Oh, I’m ready.” I bit my lip, giving him the sexiest look possible.
“I’m really glad you said that.” His free hand ran over my stomach.
“Are you ready?”
“I’ve been ready for weeks.” He rested his forehead against mine. “I think it’s time we find out how great we can be together.”
“I already know how great we can be.” My body ached for more of his touch.
“That’s just the tip of the iceberg.”
“Do you like torturing me?”
He laughed. “No, but I do like making you look at me like that.”
“Put another look on my face.”
“All right. I can do that.” In one swift motion, he’d dropped the top strings and seated me on the trunk of a car. He untied the back strings, letting the top fall as he took one breast in his mouth while he fondled the other.
I reached down into his swim trunks, wanting to feel just how much he wanted me. I needed to know he desired me as much as I desired him. He was hard as a rock, and Colt groaned against my breast as I stroked him.
“I want you so bad.” His mouth moved up to mine, his teeth nipping at my lip.
“You can have me.”
“I can’t. I forgot. My wallet’s outside.”
“Mine’s not.”
He grinned. “You came prepared?”
“Yes.” I’d started carrying a condom around ever since the near hook up in the library. “Aren’t you glad I did?”
“More than a little.”
The sound of a knob turning was the only warning we had. Colt took my hand, and I grabbed my top just in time. We’d just found a spot to hide behind a shelving unit when the door opened.
“Is that an Aston Martin?” a guy asked.
“Like I’d know.” Claire’s voice cut through the silent garage. I could just picture her rolling her eyes at whatever Kappa she was talking to.
I needed to put my top on, but I was afraid to move and make noise. I was barely keeping still to begin with. Then Colt went and made it worse. He cupped my br**sts from behind, kissing my neck. I couldn’t say anything out of fear of being heard. He released one of my br**sts and slipped his hand down the front of my bikini bottom. I tried to shift away a tiny bit, but that just made it easier for him to slide his hand in. Damn.
“I wonder what he got it for. It had to cost a pretty penny.” The guy’s voice got louder as he moved closer to where we hid.
I bit down on my lip, determined to stay silent. Was Colt really going to do this to me? Well, he’d get a taste of his own medicine. I reached behind me and slid my hand down into his swim trunks again. I felt his breathing deepen as I grabbed him, and I didn’t worry about being gentle. I pushed back against him, probably making it so much worse. His lips tickled my earlobe as he whispered, “Oh, you just asked for it, babe.” My lip was no match for the sensation caused by what he did next with his fingers. I let out a moan.
