She continued to type on a more playful note.

Jordan: Let her touch you. I like to watch!

Her cheeks scorched at the text. But it was already sent. Where Brandon was involved, the need to win had become stronger each time, which always left her feeling awkward after blurting out some random crap she’d had no intention of saying in the first place.

Brandon: I take all credit for the woman you are right this second! And don’t worry, I’ll keep the things you like in mind☺.

After the concert, Jordan and the rest of the group reconvened at the bar, settling into a booth, and soon Greg showed up. Her sweet, adorable date was the perfect distraction from the rollercoaster that was Brandon. But after being around Brandon, it was crystal clear what was lacking between her and Greg: the carnal desire pulling at her every second she was with Brandon.

But that was good. It meant she had control with Greg and would be safe from falling too fast and getting hurt.

Jordan smiled as she hugged Greg from the side. His black hair, prescription eyeglasses, and slim physique made him the complete opposite of Brandon. But he was exactly what she needed.

After a few more drinks, everyone wandered off to do their own thing, but she stayed close to Greg, though not so close that Adrianna felt like a third wheel. Greg had been kind enough to bring along a single friend she could mingle with, but Adrianna didn’t find him too attractive. So there was that.

Sometime later, Jordan looked over to see Brandon having a lengthy conversation with Adrianna while she was playing pool with Greg. She began to steal glances at the two of them sitting by the bar, anxiety urging her to interrupt their conversation. But why would she even worry about it? Brandon was just a friend. Besides, Adrianna would never disclose personal things about her to Brandon or anyone. They were likely talking about Damian.

Then Stephanie walked up to Brandon and wrapped her arms around him, whispering something in his ear, and Jordan wanted to gag. Adrianna got up from her place on a barstool and smiled as she caught Jordan staring.

She hurried over with a wild gleam in her eye. “Who’s driving tonight?”

Jordan leaned onto Greg. “Neither one of us. I can pick up my car here tomorrow. Greg agreed to give us a lift.”

“Good. That means I can drink more. Come on, have another drink with me,” Adrianna said, dragging Jordan away from Greg.

She turned and waved to him in silent apology.

“That girl is annoying,” Adrianna grumbled. “I don’t know how Brandon deals.”

“I imagine he won’t much longer, if that’s the case,” Jordan said, peeking at the two who were now seated facing each other on bar stools. Stephanie’s hand rested on Brandon’s upper thigh, and Jordan shook her head. “And he’ll probably still get laid. Why does it piss me off that he doesn’t even have to work for it? He’s such a slut.”

Adrianna laughed, steering her to the booth where Andrew and Sarah sat.
