Chapter Eleven

Slater

We were back at the dorm.

And because I was such a germaphobe, I grabbed my shower caddy and towel and made a beeline to the showers.

Tatum had been pretty quiet on the way back, which didn’t necessarily mean anything was wrong. I’d wanted to ask her if she had fun, and then I wanted to ask her if she felt as comfortable as I had.

It had felt like a double date.

And I’d enjoyed it so much I wanted to bang my head against another table.

My job wasn’t to wine and dine Finn’s sister, and yet, I wanted to spend more and more time with her, even if it meant I wasn’t kissing her—I liked how easy it was to be with her, how open she was with everyone.

I just liked her.

Hell.

With jerky movements, I peeled off my clothes and flipped on the shower. I always kept my flip flops on because—gross. Quickly, I stepped under the hot spray. I exhaled, letting all the tension leave my body.

Music turned on in the bathroom.

I frowned; it was normal for someone to turn on the system they had in the bathrooms, but it was late at night, and I was the only one showering.

Heaven by Julia Michaels filled the room just like steam.

Just as I was about to poke my head out, the curtain pulled back.

Tatum.

Wrapped in a towel.

I sucked in a sharp breath.

And then she slowly unwrapped herself like a fucking Christmas present and hung her very white innocent-looking towel next to my pink one and joined me.

I said nothing.

I had no words.

Friends, friends, friends.

Hah, because all friends shower together! It’s what really good friends do, damn the sacrifices.

I eyed her perky ass and nearly combusted on the spot.

The music was loud enough to drown out any noise.

Was that why?

She grabbed my Aveeno body wash and squirted some in her hands, then very slowly started rubbing it down my chest.

I was getting punished.

And going to hell.

Her fingers went painfully slow over my abs, and naturally, my erection was a bitch that just kept growing and pining for attention.

“What are you doing?” I rasped. Tatum’s hair was already half wet, steam billowed in between our naked bodies. And I fought like hell to keep from looking down.

I knew if I looked. I’d devour.

And I needed to have that conversation with Finn first.

If at all.

Shit, this was bad.

“Remember…?” She didn’t look into my eyes; just kept soaping my hard body up. “Our first week messaging, when I confessed everything to you about my ex? About him always pressuring me for sex?”

I clenched my fists. “Yes, and I stand by my answer. He was an asshole.”

“Yeah.” She smiled sadly and squeezed more Aveeno into her hands. “The thing is… you know my past, you know he spread rumors about me all over campus, called me a slut, and well for being such an idiot, his bullying on social media was damn right genius.”

I remembered her messaging me at two am, apologizing, but saying that a twitter thread had naked pictures of her.
