Back in the club, Creed and Austin hung around, Austin bringing out some celebratory bottles of champagne for Kinslee that he swore was the best shit we’d ever taste, although to me it tasted like shit. I grimaced as the drink went down my throat, longingly eyeing the lone beer that remained next to the ice bucket.

Taking a quick glance in Austin’s direction, I noticed his gaze sliding over to where Winter, Lena, and Kinslee were dancing with Raine and the other girls from Alstone College that had shown up. Specifically, to Kinslee. I couldn’t blame him for looking—she was hot, although since Winter had moved in and Kinslee had been hanging out with us more, she’d become like a sister to me. While he was distracted by the view, I swapped out my champagne for the beer, ignoring the smirk Cade gave me.

Once the bottles of champagne were empty, Austin disappeared somewhere with Jessa, and the second I finished my beer, West was sliding over to me.

“I’m bored. Wanna check out the rest of this place?”

“Let’s go.” Following him out of the VIP area and down the stairs, I smiled to myself. When Weston and my sister had got together, I’d been worried that he wouldn’t have time for me anymore. He was my best mate, and I was used to doing everything with him. I’d seen it happen before—couples getting lost in each other to the point where they forgot about their other friends. But my worries were unfounded. Anyone could see that he and Lena were loved-up, but both of them had their own shit going on, and my best mate had made sure that I didn’t feel neglected.

We did a circuit of the main club floor, then ended up in the attached bar. It was packed, but we managed to grab a table and a couple of stools. West headed to the bar for drinks, and when he returned, he looked me dead in the eye.

“Jessa.”

“What about her?”

“There’s something going on between the two of you.”

I sighed. I knew this conversation was coming. “There isn’t, mate. We slept together, once—okay, twice—since she’s been staying with us,” I amended at his disbelieving look. “That’s it, though. You know it doesn’t mean anything. To either of us.”

He sat back, making circles in the condensation on his glass. When he spoke again, his voice was quiet, his gaze fixated on the table in front of him. “You’d tell me if it was anything more than that, wouldn’t you?”

“Course I would.”

“Okay. I—” He broke off, shaking his head. “It’s one thing to be helping her out, but after all the shit that’s gone down, a relationship with her might complicate things. Her history with Winter, with Cade…”

“Huh? Who said anything about a relationship?” I stared at him. “How the fuck did you come to that conclusion? There’s no feelings involved. It’s just sex. Anyway, she isn’t down to fuck anymore. She told me.”

“Whether that’s the case or not, you’ve been different with her.
