but it hadn’t made her see stars. She’d dated a couple of guys since, but never on campus, and the ones who she felt comfortable enough with, she’d gone further. Again, she felt like there was too much action, not enough fireworks.
“I guess that’s why you had to fake your last orgasm. He just couldn’t cut it.”
“You faked an orgasm?”
“Oh fuck,” Raven and Ava said in unison.
Beck grinned, showing his teeth as he approached the girls.
“Well well,” he smirked. “I hope you were a great actress. I bet the guy wouldn’t be pleased to know he left you unsatisfied.”
“This doesn’t concern you, Beck,” Ava turned to him. “It has nothing to do with you at all.”
Beck ignored her and walked right up to Raven. She could feel the heat from his body as he stood up close.
“You’d never have to fake it with me,” he whispered into her ear. His breath caused her skin to break out in goosebumps, and her face flamed. “I’d make your eyes roll back, and your toes curl,” he finished, his lips brushed against the shell of her ear and her breath caught.
“I…” Raven swallowed the frog in her throat.
“It was because he reminded her of you, that’s why she had to,” Ava cut in before Beck could elaborate.
He stood back as if he’s been slapped in the face, looking between the girls.
“I think it’s time you stopped bullying Ray, Beck.”
“I’m not bullying her,” he shook his head, his eyebrows pinching together. “Have I ever been mean to you, Raven?” he watched her as Raven thought about all the times he’d approached her. “I’ve never hurt you, or said anything that would make you feel bad about yourself. In fact, I always tell you that you look hot or sexy.”
Ava’s eyes snapped to his.
“Telling somebody they’re hot or sexy is like saying ‘I just want to get into your pants’,” she said. “That’s not really a compliment when you mean it that way.”
“Raven knows what I think.” His eyes turned to hers. “Don’t you?”
“No, I don’t,” she replied, shaking her head. She shifted her weight so she could cross one foot over the other, discreetly squeezing her thighs together to stop the ache there.
Beck leant into her ear again. “I think you do.” He smiled, winked, then walked away.
The girls watched him go, and Raven’s eyes drifted south to his ass.
The pert orbs flexed as he walked away. A small sigh escaped her lips without her even realizing.
“That was so fucking hot, Ray,” Ava whispered, her hand on her chest. “ I was turned on just by watching that.”
“God, Ay. I don’t know how he does it, I really don’t,” Raven said, fanning her face with her hands.
“You look like you need a lie down, Ray,” Ava fanned Raven’s face with her. “I saw you watching his ass, and I can’t blame you. He’s got a great ass.”
“I know,’ Raven groaned. “This is ridiculous. I want him to stop doing those things but when he does…”
“What? What is it?” Ava asked with a look of concern.
“He gets to me.”
“I know, honey.” Ava put her arm around her shoulder.
“No, Ay. He gets to me,” she lowered her voice and widened her eyes. “Like that.”
“ Oohh!” Ava said, finally understanding, then laughing.
“It’s not funny, Ay. You’ve known all along what he does to me; it’s… frustrating.”
“I bet it is, Ray. Oh I bet it really is.”
The girls waited until they got back to their dorm to discuss Raven’s situation. Just in case Beck decided to show again and he heard any of the details.
Ava knew that Beck had caused reactions in Raven, it was only natural, but Raven had never wanted to act on anything. No matter how much he aroused her when he got up close.
His body next to hers.
His heat radiating to her.
His eyes fixing solely on her.
His hot breath on her skin when he whispered in her ear.
His touch when he ran his fingertips along her forearms.
Raven heated further just
