“I think we can handle that.” Maya winks at me before taking my hand and leading me deeper into the house. A few people recognize her and call her name, and she introduces me, too. They all seem friendly, without the dirty looks and knowing whispers I’m used to seeing around school. It’s like a whole other world.
“This is my friend Wren!” Maya introduces me to three girls who compliment my hair and dress right away. I forgot people could be kind and welcoming, even when there’s nothing in it for them. When Maya elbows her way through the crowd in the kitchen to get drinks and leaves me with the girls, I’m actually not nervous to be alone with them.
Until I recognize somebody coming in through the back door.
My hand closes tighter around the clutch Maya lent me. Kellen. He’s friends with Briggs—I’ve seen them together at school, and there’s no pretending he’s somebody else. The guy is huge, easily the biggest in any room. There’s no missing him.
I should’ve known this was too good to be true. What if he tells Briggs I’m here?
What if Briggs is in the backyard? Now that I’ve seen Kellen, the possibilities of their whole group being here chills me to my core. I just wanted one night. One night of fun.
“You okay?” Maya presses a plastic cup in my hand. “Come on, let’s go dance.”
But what if he tells Briggs I’m here? I don’t want to be seen or noticed. Then again, there are probably a million people here. I don’t stand out the way Kellen does. I might be able to blend in. He’s talking with people, drinking, having fun. He might not care even if he does see me.
What if he does, though?
A few sips of whatever drink Maya handed me helps loosen up my nerves a little. What am I so worried about? Briggs is probably out with some unfortunate girl right now. He hasn’t bothered me in two whole days. I doubt he would want to ruin his Saturday night just to ruin mine.
Maya is already on her way out of the kitchen. I can stay or I can leave. I can crumble in fear of something that’s not even happening right now, or I can have fun.
To hell with it. After downing the entire cup, I follow her.

BRIGGS
Tucker and I don’t even have to sneak in. We waltz through the front door of Tyler’s place unnoticed while Wren and Maya are dancing on the makeshift dance floor, completely oblivious of our presence. We walk through the room and find a seat on the sectional where Kellen and some other people are sitting.
I lean back into the leather pillows and take in my little bird dancing in the center of the room. She is wearing a black short dress, showing off her bare long legs with a pair of matching heels. Her hips sway from side to side with the music and her long, brown hair falls in big curls down her back. She looks like she is here to get fucked. The thought enrages me. Did she really think she could come here and get away from me? Let someone else touch what’s mine? I’m going to have to teach her a lesson about that. Can’t have her think she can run around and do whatever she pleases.
Kellen grabs a beer out of the cooler beside him and hands it to me without a word. I twist the top open and take a big sip, letting the cool and crisp liquid run down my throat until it lands heavy in my empty stomach. Shit, I didn’t even eat dinner yet. I was too busy dropping Tia off at the babysitters on the other side of town. I guess beer is my dinner then. I take another swig, sinking further into my seat to relax a little before I drag Wren out of here by her hair.
From where I’m sitting, I have a perfect view of my toy. My gaze is glued to her body’s rhythmic movements to the music. The dress she is wearing making her ass look like it’s begging to be squeezed. The tight, strapless dress is pushing up her breasts in a delicious way. My cock stirs. She is a beautiful girl and right now she looks downright delicious. Thoughts of her lips wrapped around my cock swirl through my mind, only adding to the blood rushing to my dick. Fuck. I want her. All of her.
I finish my beer and set the empty bottle on the side table next to me.
Wren is holding one of Maya’s hands while clutching onto a red solo cup with her other. She leans into her friend and says something to her that makes both of them laugh loud enough for me to hear it over the blaring music. They laugh and hug each other.
