That was the last thing I wanted to do.

Haven
Run, Forrest, run!I couldn’t get that saying out of my head as I ran out of Ryker’s house as though the place were on fire. I swore it had to be because my body was burning up. I felt ready to explode if I didn’t get some relief for the pulsating between my legs.
I sprinted one block back to campus and to my dorm. The humidity was unbearable for eleven at night, making my skin wetter and hotter as I huffed and puffed until I was splayed out on my bed with my fingers seated in my panties.
I was a decent girl and got good grades. I did what I was told by my father and tried hard not to talk back to my stepmother who was, in a word, a bitch.
Oh, I wanted to tell her more times than I cared to remember to shove everything and anything up her tight, scrawny ass whenever I was around her. Luckily for me, I’d attended boarding school and hadn’t had to deal with her too much, although now that I was back in the great state of Texas, attending college not far from my father’s estate, I had to deal with her a little more than I cared to.
I envisioned Ryker’s dick as I circled my clit furiously. That pulsing need was so high that I swore I would pass out from my erratic breathing.
Come on, Haven. You’re almost there.
I closed my eyes, remembering the feel of his hard pecs and oh-so-hard dick, and I imagined him inside me until a door slammed. My fingers froze, but my pulse didn’t. I suspected my roommate, Vicki, although she was supposed to meet me at the party.
Knuckles wrapped on my door. “Haven, are you in there?” Vicki’s high-pitched voice came through loud and clear.
I let out a frustrated laugh, removing my hand from between my legs, and lifted up on my elbows. The lust coursing through me vanished. “It’s open.”
Her brown eyes surveyed my small room, which consisted of a twin bed, a desk, a chair, and a closet—the same setup as hers, only hers was located on the other side of our common room. Unlike boarding school, the dorms at Lakemont University were set up like mini apartments with two bedrooms and a living area in between, although we had to share the one bathroom on our floor with the other girls living there.
“Why were you laughing?”
I crossed my legs underneath me. “You’ll never believe what happened to me.” I’d only met Vicki when we moved into the dorms, and I had immediately felt like she was the sister I never had.
Like me, she was feisty and bold and had a potty mouth, qualities I never displayed in public. If I did, my father, a Texas senator, would push out a cow. I couldn’t do anything to make the headlines or come off as anything other than prim and proper. Otherwise, he would hide me away for the next four years like he had when he’d sent me off to boarding school.
Vicki got comfortable on my bed, tucking her streaked brown-and-blond hair behind her ear. “You got laid?”
I snorted. “I would’ve if we hadn’t been interrupted.”
Her eyes grew wide as she waited with bated breath. “Who? Was it Lucas? I wouldn’t mind getting him between the sheets.”
Lucas was a hottie for sure. He had a head full of wild blond curls that I was sure women wanted to massage their fingers in, tawny-colored eyes, and a body built like a stone wall. Aside from his body, his other attributes didn’t give me that mouthwatering feeling I’d had with Ryker.
“Not Lucas but his quarterback.”
“Ryker James?” Her high-pitched voice went up two notches.
I bobbed my head, smiling as though I’d won the football bowl game and brought home the trophy. “His dick is huge.”
Her brown eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. “So you did fuck him.”
“God no. I wanted to, though. The man is all muscle, but he was drunk as a skunk.” As horny as I was, I at least wanted him to remember me.
“Tell me every detail,” she said.
“Other than grabbing his dick, there’s not much to tell. Lucas kicked everyone out. Something about Ryker’s lawyer, who showed up.”
She checked the clock on my desk. “At almost midnight?”
I shrugged. “Maybe he’s going to jail.”
“Because he hit that tree? Surely not. It was a tree.”
