We both froze.
“Dusty! Girl! Dusty Girl!”
Stone leapt, but it was more like he levitated off the bed in a split second and bam! The condom was ripped off, and he grabbed our clothes, the same time checking that the door was locked.
I was stunned at how fast he moved before my shirt hit me square in the face. I grabbed it, moving to put my arms through it. “I forget you’re a professional athlete.”
He was pulling his pants up just as my doorknob rattled.
We held our breaths collectively, but the door held. The lock worked. Praise to whoever installed that, but then a pounding came on the door. “Dusty! Woman! She who cooks the best fucking pizza in the world.”
Stone raised his eyebrow at me.
I rolled my eyes, but I felt the back of my neck heating up.
“We bought more stuff! And we won! We were all wondering if we could bribe you to make us some of those pizzas again? They were fucking fantastic.”
“You blushing?”
“No. Shut up.” I was. I think even the skin on my stomach was red. Cursing, I scooted to the edge of the bed and looked around for my pants.
Stone cleared his throat. He was fully dressed by now and holding out my pants.
I snagged them, shooting him a look.
“Pizza?”
“What? My mom taught me more than how to bake.” I rolled my eyes. “I got better at cooking.”
He was quiet a second. “Pizza?”
Was he…yep. He was. “You want to go up there?”
He shrugged. “Why not? They know we know each other.”
“But, yeah.” I gestured around us. “We smell like sex.”
“We’ll wash up quick.”
We’d spent all day in bed. It was almost a full repeat of the first night, except we ran out of condoms two hours ago and Stone had to run out for a resupply. We did not look how we looked in the library. Our clothes were wrinkled and it was obvious we’d been in bed. A person could tell. Softer skin. Tired eyes. A literal glow, which I knew I had.
“Dusty!” Another bang on the door.
“She probably doesn’t know who you are, moron. She will seriously not answer if she doesn’t,” came a voice from behind him before a door slammed shut.
“Bitch,” the guy muttered before raising his voice. “It’s Dent, by the way. And I’m in love with your pizza.” He laughed to himself. “I could be in love with you, too. You know that, right? Remember the bar? Remember when you ditched me? I know you were thinking I was trying to get back at Lisa, but I swear I wasn’t. I was into you—”
Stone unlocked the door and swung it open in that second. A full scowl on his face.
“Ooooh, shit.” Dent blinked, shaking his head and stepped back. He’d been leaning on the doorframe. “Oh, wow. Hey, man. Stone. You’re like, hanging out now?” He looked at me, and I was still sitting on the bed with my pants in my hand.
He saw me. He saw the pants. He saw the bed. Correction, he saw the state of the bed.
“Oh, whoa. Wow. Oh.” A nervous laugh and a crooked grin. “I was just joking, you know? I mean, I’d never fall in love with—fuck. Wow. You two are like doing that shit now?” He stood back, but waved at the bed. “That’s awesome!”
I waited, expecting Stone to deny it, or say something to cover that up. Nothing came.
Instead, he deadpanned, “We gotta shower first.”
I could die. Literally.
Dent’s eyebrows shot up. “Of course.” Then he laughed. “Awesome!” He gave me two thumbs up before walking backwards as Stone shut the door, locking it once again.
He took my hand. Not a word was spoken, and he led me to the shower.
We showered. There was some more stroking, but it was quick, and after drying off and dressing, he headed up first. I told him I wanted to do something with my hair, make myself look so it wasn’t so obvious we’d showered together.
I could hear a collective greeting as he went upstairs, and knew the instant everyone realized who else had been down here. The entire volume of the house went up five notches.
I was flustered. This was different. This was Stone not hiding he was down here, with me, and it was a full party upstairs. It was already out about us, but yeah, this felt like it was something more than what we’d talked about.
I was at the stairs when I realized I had no bra.
I was that flustered, but after getting a bra on, I went upstairs.
I wasn’t fully ready for what I walked into. This wasn’t a normal party for them, not that I was super knowledgeable on that either, but I knew there was more tonight. The usual crowd was fifteen to twenty. Tonight, there was twenty in just two rooms. I saw people outside in the backyard and people were coming in and out from the front.
