“I don’t know much about women’s fashion but I think you
could pull off wearing that tonight,” he said, laughing.

“Thanks. I definitely think blue terrycloth will be all the
rage on the European runways this year. I’m starting a trend,” she said,
mimicking a model’s pose she’d seen in a magazine.

Scott’s gaze glided over her frame again, scorching her deep
in her core as she swung the tie over his shoulders. “Does this one even go with
this suit?”

“Yeah it’s fine.”

Scott sighed. “Truth is, I don’t even really want to go to
this thing. I was just hoping I could force you to talk to me in a social
setting. You’ve been ignoring me.”

“Just got busy…” She kept her eyes on her task, afraid he
would detect her dishonesty, but her hands were shaking as she looped the ends
of the tie over his broad chest.

Scott lifted her chin until they made eye contact and he was
smiling but a trace of hurt flared in his irises, causing a lump of guilt to
settle in her stomach. “During orientation? Kelly, I don’t buy that. What
happened? Did I do something? ’Cause I’ve been racking my brain trying to
figure out where I fucked up and the only thing that comes to mind is…” He
clenched his jaw. “That you saw my hard-on during that program. You have to
know sometimes I—guys—can’t help that.”

Kelly smirked as she tightened the tie knot at his collar. “Yes,
I’m aware of how male anatomy works, Scott.”

“Are you…are you not into guys then?”

“I’m definitely into guys.”

“Then what’s the problem? ’Cause I miss you, Lee. I miss
being able to just walk over to your room to tell you something funny or
stupid. I know this is last minute but unless you really, really want to go,
can we skip the formal and just talk please?” he asked, desperation thick in
his voice. She really missed him too and she would have preferred staying in
the dorm with him to wearing heels all night.

“We can watch movies…or even better, let’s do shots and do
some of the stuff on the Gabel Got To list. Franklin just gave me the bottle of
vodka I asked him to buy…”

“The RA? How’d you work that out?”

“Fixed his computer.” He held her by the shoulders, aiming a
serious, urging expression at her. “So what do you say? You’re my first friend
here and I really want to fix whatever happened.” He winked and smiled. “I’ll
try not to get an erection around you, okay?”

Kelly sighed with exasperation and stepped back. “The truth
is, that day, I was jealous. I was jealous, okay?”

Scott’s brow furrowed. “Of my dick?”

Kelly giggled. “No. I thought you were thinking about
Rebecca because of what we saw…and I didn’t want to stand in your way—” She cut
herself off when his large hands cradled her face suddenly.

“I’m not into Rebecca, Kelly. Don’t get me wrong, she’s beautiful,
but you can’t be that naive…” He trailed off, letting his fingertips skim down
her chest and then her stomach before his fist enclosed the belt at her waist.
She shuddered quietly as warmth built in her panties and she felt herself
getting wet. “When do I even talk to Rebecca?”

Kelly placed her palm on his chest and heard his breath
catch. “I just wasn’t sure because you were staring at her and—”

“My hard-on was for you, Lee,” he whispered with a soft
smile. Scott pulled her toward him and the fabric loosened around her as his
lips touched hers. Kelly immediately lost herself in the whirlwind of the kiss,
clutching his hair, relishing the softness of his lips. It was a sweet kiss but
it sparked a bundle of nerves in her pelvis. “I’ve wanted to do this since I
met you,” he said in between breaths.

“I’m glad you did now,” she whispered back.

“Well I want to ask you something and don’t know if I should.
We haven’t really talked about things between us and we really just started
talking again in general.”

“Uh oh,” Kelly said, fingers still trapped in his hair.

“It’s definitely an ‘uh oh’ question.”

“You’re going to ask me to help you move a body or pretend
to be your alibi or something, aren’t you?” she joked. “Shit, what have you
been up to?”

But he didn’t laugh; he only leaned closer, as if he was
going to kiss her again. “What that guy was doing to Rebecca…has a guy ever
done that to you?” A wash of heat brushed her face in the silence and Scott
cringed, his own face reddening. “Fuck, sorry, I shouldn’t have asked. Are we
moving too fast?”

“No it’s okay. My ex did. He would do it all the time.”

“Was he good at it?”

She shrugged. “I always came but he’s the only person who’s
ever gone down on me so I really have nothing else to compare it to.”

“But you like it?”

Kelly nodded. “Yes…a lot.”

“Would you want me to do it?”

“Yes.”

“’Cause I really want to eat you out, Lee. I’ve been
thinking about it since I saw Rebecca and wishing it was you and me. I’ve
wanted you so badly the past few nights, I’m jerking off in the shower.”

“You too?” she said, laughing in surprise. A flash of lust
hit his eyes in response and within a breath, his tongue was probing her mouth
again as they stumbled backward, until she landed on his desk with neither one
of them casting a glance at his belongings crashing to the carpet. The flaps of
her robe fell open as she curled her legs around his waist, locking his body
against hers. He pressed his erection against her pussy and she moaned in
return from the pressure to her clit. Leaving her mouth, his lips drifted to
her neck and she whimpered when he pushed her bra up to her collarbone. He
swirled around one of her nipples with his tongue then sucked it into his mouth
as he kneaded the other breast.

“Please touch me Scott,” she whispered. “Touch my clit. I
wanna come.”

“Are you wet?” he asked.

“Yes…” Lying back on the desk, she gripped a fistful of his
hair. “Please…” Her entire body jerked with anticipation as he pulled her
panties down her legs. He opened her thighs and pushed two of his fingers into
her pussy, flicking her clit with his thumb. “Scott,” she cried out, reaching
above her head to clutch the edge of the desk.

“Damn you’re tight, Lee. I want to fuck this tight, wet
little pussy of yours,” he said as he drove his fingers into her harder.

No guy had ever spoken to her like that and it turned her on
so much she almost gave in to her building climax right then. He pressed his
tongue against her inner thigh, working his lips upward, and the yearning had
her muscles twitching. She whimpered at the first rolls of his tongue on her
clit as his fingers curled inside her to match the rhythm of his mouth.

“I’m coming,” Kelly said before biting down on her lip as her
eyelids fluttered. Her back rounded off the desk and Scott pressed her body
down to the wood with a hand to her collarbone. “Scott…”

“I want to hear you come. Come hard for me baby,” he said
and Kelly let go without restraining herself at all, writhing and saying his
name until her body was spent. When she caught her breath, she shifted up to
her elbows and smiled at him, still wanting his touch as she spied the solid
bulge pushing against the front of his slacks.

“Whoa…we made a mess,” she said. She looked around at the
scattered things on the floor and then sat all the way up.

“You made a mess,” he said with a glance between her legs
and she blushed. He brushed his finger over his lip before dipping it into his
mouth. “That was hot and you taste exactly how I imagined.” Scott lowered his
lips to her neck and trailed kisses from her ear to her shoulder. “So you
fingered yourself to me in the shower, huh? What did you think about while you
were doing that?”

“Everything we just did.” Kelly unbuttoned his shirt and
uncovered his carved, ripped chest beneath. It was just as she had pictured and
she drew her lips across the smooth width of it while she unzipped his pants.
Scott tugged her hair a little as he groaned and her eyes widened when his
slacks dropped to the floor. Even through his boxers, she could tell he really
was huge. She licked her lips as she imagined what it would be like to have it
in her mouth. She loved giving head.

Scott pulled his cock out and stroked it himself as he kissed
her and she was surprised by how much tasting herself on his lips turned her
on. “What else do you want to do?” he whispered and he put his fingers back
into her pussy.

“I want you to fuck me. Right here,” she said, trembling as
she spoke, but it felt good to say. She could be a dirty talker too. “I want
you to bend me over and fuck me.”

Scott walked to the door and locked it before he went to his
bedside drawer to retrieve a condom. When he returned to her, he flipped her
around and leaned her over the desk, unlatching her bra and plunging his
fingers into her from behind. Being unable to see what he was doing spiked her
arousal so much she was squirming and her legs were shaking as he separated
them. Soon Scott’s tongue was lashing her clit again and she bucked against the
desk so much he had to hold her in place.

“Fuck…Scott,” she cried out, barely able to speak the words
as orgasm after orgasm shredded through her until she was clawing at his desk.
Without allowing for a break, he thrust into her with a slow, teasing push even
though she was wet and she whimpered the entire way as his cock filled her. She
almost thought she wouldn’t be able to take it but bursts of pleasure were soon
erupting all over her skin.

“Damn, Lee, you’re so fucking tight,” he said. He ran his
hands up her back and she clenched around him as he pumped into her a few
times. “I’m gonna make this tight little pussy of yours feel so good. You want
me to do that?”

“Yes. Fuck me hard, Scott,” Kelly said, reaching down
between her legs to caress her pulsating clit. Gripping her shoulders, he drove
into her until she could only hear the slam of their bodies colliding and the
rumble of the desk beneath her. She cried out in ecstasy as he tweaked one of
her nipples and he grunted with each forceful pound against her ass as his
fingers sank into her skin.

“Oh, shit…I’m gonna come…” he said, and with a few more
rapid thrusts, he climaxed before collapsing on top of her with heavy breaths
against her ear.

“Well this certainly makes up for days of not talking,” she
teased.

“I agree. We should not talk again if this is how we’re
going to reconcile,” he said as he planted kisses down her spine. “I really did
miss you. With school starting next week, it would’ve sucked to not have you to
talk to or walk to class with, you know.” Scott raised himself off her.

“Yeah…I let my own weird thoughts get in the way when I
should’ve just talked to you because you’re my friend.” Kelly didn’t know where
things were going between them but it wasn’t worth making herself crazy over
imaginary discord when she could simply enjoy their growing connection. “So you
really want to try to do some of the list tonight?”

“Among other things,” Scott said with a sly smile as he
handed her clothing to her and watched her get dressed, arousal peaking in his
eyes once more.

“I should probably tell Becks that I’m not going to the
formal.” With most of the freshmen gone, they would have nearly the entire
first floor to themselves and she longed for an instant repeat fuck. After
doing all the work herself for so long, she wanted him inside her until she was
walking funny.

Squeezing her waist, he smiled in delight and said, “Yeah…if
I were you, I wouldn’t make any other plans outside of this room tonight.”

Junior Year

Scott

“Scott! Look out!” He ducked just in time for the Frisbee to
go whizzing by and his friend Daniel scowled at him, shaking his head. Even
without saying a word, Scott knew why he’d gotten that reaction. Daniel had
caught him looking over at Kelly and her boyfriend Patrick sitting at one of
the tables that hugged the edge of Gabel’s Tenley field.

The sight of the two of them twisted his heart and sent a
blade of jealousy and regret burning through his stomach. She was still the
most beautiful girl at Gabel to him and he couldn’t believe that nearly a year
had gone by since they had spoken beyond civil greetings in passing. It had
gotten too hard to interact with her after Patrick stepped in, slowly
solidifying his place in her life after they had worked on a class project
together. So Scott had gradually distanced himself—not visiting her room as
much, spending more time with his intramural soccer team friends. By the start
of this year, she had become someone he just waved to from across the quad.
Scott knew he should’ve fought for her back then but she looked so happy with
Patrick. Scott and Kelly had never really moved past their friends-with
benefits stage. But he had fallen for her and had let fear get in the way of
expressing himself right away, just like during freshman year. Patrick had used
the opportunity to take the initiative and Scott had to hand it to the guy—he
was smooth and he seemed loyal to her. They rarely went anywhere without each
other and they were always holding hands and laughing, like now. Kelly was
leaning across the table in amused hysterics with Patrick’s hand clutching
hers. Scott missed the sound of her laughter and it was nice to have the wind
blow it in his direction.

“Why do you even bother, dude?” Daniel asked as he jogged up
alongside him to retrieve the Frisbee. “I thought that was over and done with a
long time ago.”

“Just looking. Hard not to.”

“No you’re not just looking. You need to do something about
it,” Daniel urged but Scott ignored him and instead waved to the approaching
women—Samantha, whom he slept with casually from time to time, and her friends,
including Kelly’s old roommate Rebecca—as they traipsed across the grass. They
were all in the Kappa Omega Delta sorority. He had met Samantha at one of their
parties last year after his friends had dragged him out once they grew tired of
him moping in the aftermath of giving Kelly up.

“Hey…Frisbee’s not looking so ultimate right now. Want to
walk me to class?” Samantha offered. She was a beautiful woman with long brown
hair, bright brown eyes and a curvy frame. She was also smart and funny and
their casual relationship was possibly on the verge of becoming something more.
He, however, didn’t feel as strong a connection to her as he did with Kelly and
often when he was by himself, he jerked off to his memories of fucking Kelly
instead. Sometimes he even fantasized about Kelly while he was sleeping with
other women. He had dated quite a bit since her and even indulged in some
one-night stands. He always found himself comparing every situation to Kelly,
like his time with her was some yardstick of how things were supposed to be.

“Definitely. Just gotta grab my stuff.” He gestured at the
tree where his and Daniel’s backpacks were before he walked toward it.

“Scenery’s nice from here, huh?” Rebecca asked, nudging him
in the side when she walked over. She ticked her chin over at Patrick and Kelly,
who were leaving the area. The scorch of jealousy returned and lapped his
insides when Patrick’s hand settled on her ass before they disappeared into the
Gabel crowd.

“Hey, Becks. It is.” He laughed as he hugged her. “And
before you ask, we’ve got all the drinks covered for tonight. Daniel and I will
be there at eight sharp to handle bartending duties.” The sorority was having a
private party for one of their members’ birthdays at a house in the surrounding
neighborhood.

“Good. She’s coming, you know,” Rebecca whispered.

“So?” he said, but his heart jumped.

“Alone. Patrick’s friends from home are here for a guys’
weekend or something. I ran into her a few days ago and emotionally blackmailed
her into coming since she is too wrapped up in him to even look my ways these
days. Might be a good chance for the two of you to finally talk.”

Kelly and Rebecca were still friends but much like him and
Kelly, they had drifted apart when Kelly and Patrick had gotten together. In
fact, Scott and Rebecca were better friends than either of them was with her
now.

But he couldn’t help feeling excited at the prospect of chatting
with Kelly tonight, even for a few minutes. Still, though, he shook his head. “Sam
and I have a good thing, even though it’s not serious, and I really care about
her.” That was true.

“I’m not saying you don’t but wouldn’t it be just as bad to
let her risk giving her heart to you when you know yours is already with
someone else?”

* * * * *

Rebecca’s words were still in his head when he and Daniel
arrived at the party house several hours later to set up the makeshift bar
area. He’d had a chat with Samantha about cooling things off for a bit and he
was glad when she agreed. She was taking on more responsibilities in her
sorority and he wasn’t really into the fraternity life on campus so the “breakup”
turned out to be mutual. Now Daniel was rattling off a list of people he had
invited but Scott couldn’t concentrate on anything beyond Kelly’s impending
arrival. It was crazy how much just the thought of her was getting under his
skin and the anticipation had left him rock-hard the entire day.

“Right?” Daniel asked. “That’s what I should do about the
situation, right?”

“Uh…sure…definitely,” Scott replied as he dumped another bag
of ice into a cooler full of beers.

“Okay, great. Tomorrow I’ll dye my hair orange and shave
star shapes into it,” Daniel said, laughing as he playfully punched Scott in
the arm. “I was testing to see if you were listening. So what are you going to
do about Kelly tonight?”

Scott shrugged. “Just talk to an old friend. Nothing more.”

“You don’t have a plan? You almost lost her freshman year,
right? You let Patrick get with her. What if tonight is the night you can do
something about going after what you really want?”

“Not worth screwing with her relationship, Dan.”

“Dude, this is Patrick Emory. As great as she is, we both
know Kelly is just a ‘for now’ interest with him. This is what he does. We
lived on the same hall freshman year…fucked maybe a third of the girls in our
dorm by summer break.”

“He and Kelly have been together since last year and some
guys will change for a really great girl, dude. Kelly is amazing enough for
Patrick to want to be a better man.” Scott didn’t have the energy to argue
anymore so he was thankful when the music finally cranked on and Daniel didn’t
pursue the conversation further. This was the most popular sorority at Gabel so
the crowd was shoulder to shoulder within an hour of the doors opening. The
line of people waiting for drinks occupied him enough that he could fight his
impulse to keep staring toward the entryway every time people came in, hoping
it was Kelly, but it didn’t stop the anxious thoughts.
I bet she won’t even
show up. I wonder what she’ll wear if she does. She’ll look beautiful
regardless. But what if she doesn’t even want to talk to me?

By the time she actually arrived, the anxiety was so heavy
in his stomach, he was downing just as many drinks as he was pouring. As soon
as Kelly stepped inside, Rebecca marched her over to the bar. His breath caught
at the sight of her and she smiled wide and kind when their eyes met. She was
wearing the tiniest strapless black dress he had ever seen and it was wrapped
around her curves in a way that set his bones ablaze. His cock rammed the
inside of his jeans. He was still getting hard just for her even though he had
tried to satisfy the urge earlier. His intense desire to see her had
strengthened so much after talking to Rebecca, he had jerked off twice before
the party, fisting his cock to old fantasies of her mouth tight around his
flesh, sucking him until he filled her throat.

Kelly’s gaze coasted over him too and while she didn’t look
wholly uncomfortable in his presence, she wasn’t relaxed either. “Two beers
please,” Rebecca said, aiming a devilish smile at Scott.

“Uh…sure thing,” he mumbled as he fumbled with the keg pump.
“Here ya go,” he said but Rebecca took hold of both cups.

“Hey, Danny, take a break,” she said, handing him one of
them. “Kelly can take over.”

“Sure thing, boss,” Daniel said.

Kelly went pale. “Becks! I didn’t come here to work!” she
exclaimed.

“You owe me!”

“You said we were going to catch up, you bitch!” Kelly said,
laughing, but her expression betrayed her nervousness.

“It’s a party…I’ll be drinking quite a bit so you’ll see me
throughout the evening,” Rebecca replied with a wink before she slipped into
the crowd with Danny.

“Hey, Scott,” Kelly said as she moved to his side behind the
bar. She raked her fingers through her hair and scooped it up into a ponytail,
exposing her bare shoulders. Pretending to need something on her end, he leaned
over and took a quick sniff in her direction. He had always loved her natural
scent and he wished he could whip his tongue over that shoulder like he used to—all
over her skin actually. She reached across him for a bottle of vodka and her
arm grazed his stomach, sending jolts all through his body.

“How ya been, Lee?” he asked. He placed his hands on her
hips to scoot around her to grab a stack of cups and his erection, like steel,
brushed across her butt, causing Kelly to jerk in place.

“Good. How about you?” she said in a strained voice, her
face flushing, and a familiar look of lust brightened in her eyes. He liked
that he could still get that kind of reaction out of her. She certainly ignited
the same in him. “Haven’t been called that in a long time,” she added as she
poured a drink for someone, a mysterious smile stretching her lips.

“I’m still the only one, I hope,” he said.

“Yup.”

“You look beautiful tonight…but you look beautiful all the
time.”

“Thanks,” she said. “Are you having a good year? Still
taking photography classes?”

“Can’t these days with my engineering major kicking my ass.
What about you?”

“Same. Maybe next year. Remember how we took almost every
class together freshman year?”

“Yeah and now we barely see each other.”

“I know…junior year is so busy. It seems like just yesterday
I was trying to figure out what my major would be and now I’m almost done with
it.”

“That’s not why we don’t see each other,” he muttered a
little louder than he had intended and it led to a heavy silence between them.
He’d heard the bitterness in his own voice and was pretty sure she had picked
up on it too. They didn’t speak again as they served drinks and he was actually
relieved when Daniel strode over to take his place, claiming he needed a break
from dancing with sorority girls.
Yeah right. What are you up to?
Scott
thought.

“You should go too…” Daniel said to Kelly. She walked out
from behind the bar, gave Rebecca a parting hug and headed for the door without
saying goodbye to Scott. A weighted feeling of remorse clamped down on his
chest.
Shit, I’m so stupid. I could have reconnected with an old friend
tonight and instead I made her feel bad because I miss her.

“Uh…” Daniel said, his brown hair flopping into his eyes. “Hello.”

“What?”

“Dude.” Daniel smacked him on the shoulder. “What are you
doing? Are you stupid?”

“What do you mean?”

“All you ever do is date carbon copies of that girl. Look at
Sam. She could play Kelly in a movie about her life. She looks just like her.
Just like every other girl at this school you’ve dated or slept with since I’ve
known you.”

Scott shrugged. “So what? I have a type.”

“No…you have it bad for Kelly. Go after her, you idiot! Go!”

“Fuck! You’re right!” She had been his best friend freshman
year and before he knew it, they would be graduating and permanently leading
separate lives. Scott dashed for the door and chased her down to the parking
lot just as she cranked the ignition of her car. “Do the Gabel Got To list with
me tonight. Let’s finish it,” he said as he leaned into her window, completely
out of breath.

Kelly turned her head, a cautious smile on her face. “Seriously?
You really want to?”

“Yeah…we have a few things left from freshman year, right?”

She laughed after a silent moment of thought. “Yup. Three, I
believe.”

“So come on!” he said, stepping back from the driver’s side
door and holding his hand out to her. Kelly hesitated for a moment but she got
out of the car and linked arms with him as they walked the several blocks back
to campus, heading for the center of it like they had nearly every day two
years ago.

“Whoa. Déjà vu,” she said squeezing his arm a little
tighter. “Remember that day we walked in on Rebecca and that guy in my room?”

“Yup. I see him around campus and we always give each other
a look.” How could he forget? It was a running joke between him and Rebecca
that if not for her getting eaten out by that guy, he and Kelly might not have
ever gotten together. Under the moonlight, he cast a quick glance over at
her—sure, he couldn’t kiss her or touch her like before but he realized
suddenly he was happy to have her to himself tonight, even if it was just for
the night. Sometimes you only had a moment to make things right and sometimes
it was all you needed. They strolled to the Gabel Student Union and although it
was quiet and empty, the doors stayed open overnight to provide students a
short pathway to the other side of campus. It was also the place where they
could get a copy of the Gabel Got To list. His yearning for Kelly intensified
as she walked ahead of him to get the sheet from a slot near a student lounge.
He remembered those toned legs wrapped around his waist or tightening around
his neck when his face was buried between her legs. What he wouldn’t have given
to be able to lift her against one of the walls and fuck her right here. Blowing
a deep breath out, he shook the thoughts from his head.
