“A lot of great sex?”
“It was more than that.” His eyes are all lit up, practically sparkling. “Let’s just say I had a ton of fun and learned this is where my kind of people are at.” I wait for him to explain, but he says, “So you and Brenner are good friends?”
“That’s an understatement. He’s my best friend.”
“Oh, wait, wait,” he says, readjusting his position, rolling toward me and resting his elbow next to my hip as he props himself up. “You the guy he had to text to tell you he wasn’t coming over to play…?”
“Remnant. Yes, that was me. I’m his best friend, and now his roommate too.”
“So how’s that work? Like when you bring people back to the apartment?”
I tense up. It’s something we talked about, but that was before we couldn’t stop getting each other off. “It hasn’t come up yet, but we figured we’d give each other a heads-up and a chance to beat it.”
“Like, you listen to each other and jerk off?”
“Not that kind of beat it!” I say, laughing again, and I can tell by his pleased expression he enjoyed making the pun. “It’s all good, though. I found someone else to play Remnant with, and he told me all about you guys afterward. Well, not all about it.”
I’m trying to backtrack, since maybe Bren shouldn’t share as much as he does about his sex life, but Dax says, “It’s cool. I don’t mind, and I’m sure I even said something to that effect to Brenner afterward. We’re similar. Chill about stuff like that.”
They are. And I’m noticing, with him hovering around my crotch, they’re similar in other ways too. Like the way he’s keeping me stiff.
If we did anything together, it wouldn’t mean much to Dax either. He would be the perfect guy to explore with, now that Bren’s off-limits.
But even considering fucking around with this guy feels like a betrayal.
Like I’d be fucking cheating on Brenner?
Fuck, my best friend would give me such hell if he knew that.
I shake it off.
“Why did you just do that?” he asks.
“Huh?”
“You just shook your head.”
“Oh, you noticed?”
“You’re real interesting, Taylor. And like I said, fun.” He leans closer, and I feel the heat he’s giving off.
The guy’s hot as hell, and there’s definitely a vibe here. It’s not like Brenner-and-Taylor vibes, but maybe it could become something like that. Well, maybe not that, but something better than the relationship I have with my hand at the moment.
“I hear a bunch of guys are heading down to Crave tonight,” Dax says. “You’re gonna meet me there.”
“You mean, will I meet you there?”
He smirks. “Sorry, didn’t mean for it to sound like a question.”
As I laugh, that smile returns. “Fuck, never met a stranger, have you?”
“Or a dick I didn’t like.”
Again, his gaze is right on mine, in a way that makes me a little nervous, but also excited at the possibility that I might get some action tonight. And with a guy Bren’s already vetted, so I know it’ll be good shit.
Maybe just what I need right now so I don’t lose my mind when Brenner tells me he wants to be tongue-deep inside Mila tonight. When I wind up having to leave our apartment, just to be thinking about how loudly he’s making her call out…fucking scream his name.
Shouldn’t piss me off, but I should be the one calling out his fucking name.
Wait, what? No. What the hell has he done to me?
Still, if he’s gonna have fun, why shouldn’t I?
“Sure,” I say. “I’ll be at Crave.”

Brenner
“I get the last piece.” Mila grabs the small bite of cinnamon roll and pops it into her mouth.
“Not fair,” I tease, but really, I don’t mind. We’ve been here for hours, and the conversation hasn’t stopped the whole time. She’s chatty like me, which might be kinda dangerous for anyone else if they’re spending time with the two of us together, but it’s fun. Taylor would like her. Maybe not the talkative part as much, but she loves video games, and from what I’ve learned about her today, she had an asshole dad similar to Tay’s, so they have a few things in common. “You wanna come chill at our apartment a bit?” I ask her. I try to pretend it’s not just because I’m wondering what Taylor is doing, like if we spend too much time away from each other, I’ll die.
“Oh God. She’s gorgeous. Look at her,” she says, and I turn to see a curvy woman with black hair and freckles walk in.
“Holy fuck.”
“I know, right? Anyway. Sorry. I get distracted by pretty girls with nice curves. We can go back to your place.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to stay and shoot your shot?” The last thing I want is to cock-block…pussy-block? Is that a saying? Whatever. I don’t want to stop her from hooking up or meeting someone if that’s what she wants.
