TYLER
Ben and I exchanged glances with each other. Something didnât seem right. Kateâs eyes were wide and overly alert, while Piperâs hands were running up and down Kateâs body.
The other two girls with them began kissing each other all of a sudden. But not in a romantic kind of way; it was sloppier andâ¦weird.
Kateâs thick chestnut hair was tied in a high ponytail, leaving every inch of her neck visible that I knew I just needed to suck on.
A short, tight dress hugged her small frame, beautifully contouring everything underneath. And those blue eyes that reminded me of a precious gem shone like moonlight. Every little thing about her made me want her more than ever.
The song changed to something with a loud bass line, and Kate began singing the lyrics extraordinarily loudly.
She and Piper jumped up onto the DJâs little stage, and his snake-like smile rattled to life. He leaned in to them.
I wasnât sure if he handed Kate a microphone or if she stole it, but it was up to her mouth and she was yelling along to the song. Something about Lamborghiniâs and âbitches being thirsty.â
~What the fuck?~
This furthered my suspicion that something was off. She was fun, a lot of fun, but this wasnât like her. She was sweet, smart, and innocent~.~
Of course, when in bed with me, she took being bad to a whole new level. I hardened at the thought of~ me~ bringing that side of her out. I placed a bet with myself that no one else could do that.
Chris leaned in to me. âSheâs so fucking sexy,â he said. I groaned, but he didnât hear. âI donât think this is in her normal behavior, though. Sheâs definitely fucking wasted.â
âNo shit.â
Ben came over to talk about how drunk Piper and Kate clearly were. They were dancing seductively together on stage, and some patrons had even started throwing money at them.
I wanted to intervene really badly, yet didnât want to play the role of a jealous boyfriend. I was jealous, thatâs for sure, but technically not her boyfriend
My friends and I made our way to the edge of the stage. Kate smiled when she looked down at me, blowing a kiss at me. Chris hit my back excitedly, practically jumping up and down.
Piper threw her arms around Kateâs neck and their bodies fused together. The screams once again deafened me.
âI mean thatâs pretty hot,â Ben yelled into my ear. âThey must have been drinking all night. Piperâs crazy, but Kate doesnât seem like the type.â
I looked at my best friend and shrugged. âBy the looks of it, those two will end up doing each other before we get a chance to step in.â
We laughed together until Piper did something on stage that made me squint my eyes to make sure I wasnât imagining things.
She seductively moved her hands around Kateâs shoulders, ripping down the straps of her little black dress.
The crowd roared with pleasure when all they could see was Kateâs dress bunched around her waist and her bright red bra.
Her nipples were hard as stone, stunting my ability to move for a split second.
I grabbed at her legs, hauling her over my shoulder and away from the stage. Behind me, Ben did the same with Piper. The entire bar started booing us, but I didnât give a shit.
Kate giggled and slapped my ass over and over as I carried her to a corner of the bar.
âWhatâre you doing?â I yelled louder than I meant to.
My friends stood around me, watching Piper and Kate giggle with each other over who the fuck knows what. I leaned in to fix her dress. âDonât be such a pussy, Tyler,â she said.
My jaw twitched, and I tried to keep the anger from showing on my face. That anger turned to pure confusion when she yelled, âJust have sex with me. Right here, right now.â
~What?~
Piper was already making out with Ben, her legs were wrapped around his waist. They didnât waste a moment of time.
âKate, no. What has gotten into you?â I asked.
Obviously, I wanted to fuck her. I would do it anywhere, anytime; but this wasnât her. I knew it wasnât.
Her eyes lit up like fireworks when she said, âItâs not like we havenât spent many hours rolling around in bed together. Or on the kitchen table, up against wallsââ
In the middle of her sentence, I tugged at Chrisâs sleeve and took him a couple of feet away. Kate was going to get herself and me in trouble if she didnât cut the shit.
Chris was staring at me, with confusion and wonder in his eyes. âShe doesnât know what sheâs talking about,â I said to him. âI think sheâs high or something.â
Chris laughed. âYeah, I figured she was talking shit,â he replied. âIf she was gonna fuck anyone on the team, it would have been me.â
âYou wish, asshole.â
We made our way back to Kate, who was now talking with her other two friends who had only temporarily paused their make-out session. She turned to Chris and me, her smile bright as the sun.
She pushed me aside and stood an inch from Chrisâs face. I was sure his pants were bulging. âChris, have sex with me. Right here, right now.â
He glanced at me, a lustful expression plastered on his face. âAnytime, baby.â
He pulled her body into his. I was about to murder my teammate; instead, I grabbed Kate by the waist and spun her to face me.
âChange your mind, Enforcer?â she asked, then winked. I hated how sexy she looked when she winked, especially when I was attempting to be serious.
Her lips moved to my neck. She grabbed at the bulge in my pants, simultaneously biting hard where her mouth had just been gentle.
She was driving me wild, but I couldnât shake off the fact that she was being weird. Her other two friends rushed to us, giggling like sorority girls.
âOh my god, Kate. Youâre so bad. But thatâs so hot,â one of the girls said, gesturing to her mouth on me. Kate looked up at them and laughed before sinking her teeth back into my neck.
I let Kate keep her body latched to mine, just so she wouldnât turn to Chris again as I spoke with her friends.
âWhat the hell is going on?â I yelled to the girls. One was already rubbing against Chris, and the other was dancing with my brother. They were attractive, so I knew the guys wouldnât mind.
One of the girls turned, bending low to rub her butt against Jason. âI spiked all of our drinks with E!â she shouted back to me.
âE as in ecstasy?â
âObviously,â she replied.
Jason and Chris laughed loudly, still enjoying the attention from the girls. I looked at Kate in horror as she jerked her head up in surprise.
âThere was ecstasy in my drink?â she asked, looking to me for the answer.
âApparently,â I replied. âAre you alright?â I cupped her face in my hands.
âSo I did ecstasy?â she repeated.
âYes.â
She stepped back, found Piper, and pulled her close. âI did fucking ecstasy!â she yelled at the top of her lungs and broke into a fit of laughter. They held on to each other and danced.
I realized two things at that moment. One, the drugs had had her libido all charged up. And two, there was no reasoning with Kate that night. I needed to just go with the flow.
Convincing the girls to leave proved pointless. None of them would listen in the slightest; they were âtoo busy dancing.â
I couldnât bring myself to stop Kate when she moved her hands down my pants in the middle of the dance floor, or when her hands slid up my shirt, her mouth following.
Chris pulled me away from the girls for a quick moment. For once, he looked serious. âI know we joke a lot about Kate,â he said. ~You joke about her~, I thought.
âBut even if sheâs fucked up, itâs really not a good idea to sleep with our owner. Sheâll wake up and murder you, dude.â
âIâm not going to. Iâll just let her think that so I can get her out of here.â
I canât say that the night wasnât fun. I was having a blast, and seeing Kate that carefree and brilliantly beautiful only made my feelings for her stronger.
It hit three thirty in the morning, and all of us guys formed a plan to get the girls home. We were going to bribe the gorgeous ecstasy-filled women with sex. They all wanted it, proving E really was the drug for fucking.
âItâs time to go, Kate,â I said into her ear, then bent and kissed her hard on the lips.
âNo! Itâs so fun here!â she replied.
I ran my fingers along her collarbone, kissed her again, then pulled at her bottom lip with my teeth. âIâll give you whatever you want if we go right now.â
âOkay. Iâm ready,â she whispered.
I carried her outside to hail a cab. Ben was taking Piper home, and Jason was going home with Kateâs friend, Sara, who was apparently a model. And Chris was going with her other friend, Eliza.
All girls were getting the banging they wanted so badly, and so were the guys. Really, it couldnât have worked out better.
Finally, Kate and I fell through her door. We were both breathing raggedly, trying to get more than our bodies would allow. I ripped off her dress, actually ripped it.
Lifting her off the ground, I held her against me. I steadied my hand to unhook her bra, then reached the other hand out to steady myself against the passing walls.
I had no idea where her bedroom was. I fumbled around until I saw a room with a bed and dropped her on it. Taking off her underwear quickly, I tried not to drool over the wet and ready piece that wanted me so desperately.
My consciousness took over, reminding me she was on drugs. I hesitated, but she sat up to unbuckle my belt and slid my jeans down my legs.
Kate bit her lip, looking up at me through her long, dark lashes. Her innocent blue eyes were brimming with lust and carnal thoughts. I pulled my shirt off over my head and leaned in.
âIâve heard that sex on ecstasy is euphoric,â she informed.
I raised a brow. âSex with me is always euphoric.â
âMmm, youâve never said anything more truthful.â
My annoying consciousness raised its head again, and I stepped away from her. Kate looked like a girl whose damn puppy had just died.
âTyler,â she started. Her voice was lower than normal, laced with ache and longing for me to be inside her. The way she said my nameâalwaysâturned me on. âPlease, Tyler. Donât say no. Just fuck me.â
She begged me. I tried so very hard to be a good man for her, to be better than Iâd ever been before. But she put me in a difficult position, begging me to fuck her.
I knew I had to say no and be the bigger, better person. But I couldnât; I wouldâve said yes to anything and everything with that gorgeous, innocent face begging me.
Against my better judgment, I gave in to her every want and need. My guilt fled as her mouth repeated my name and her legs wrapped around my back, urging me into her.
After she fell asleep, I kissed her head and whispered, âDonât let me fall in love with you, Kate. You deserve way better than me.â
