“Whose bright idea was this anyway?” Kyle grumbles and drags his feet so I have to tug at his hand again. The shortcut across the quad takes us through a grassy lawn and I stumble as my high heels sink into the damp ground.

“Yours!” I laugh as he steadies me. “You want me to practice getting attention, right? You said you would take me to a party and give me, and I quote, ‘the right amount of attention’.” We’ve had this exact conversation several times this week and I’m still amused by his about-face.

“That was before I knew what else we could be doing tonight. Sex trumps all other plans. Everyone knows that.” The complaining—okay, whining—has a note of laughter now. And this grumbling-but-amused, surly-but-tender thing he’s got going totally does it for me. My heart stretches wide open.

“It’s not either/or,” I insist, darting a glance at him. He’s as vividly handsome as ever, but he also looks…happy. “But both, so lucky us! Party, then sex. And I want to dance! Remember, you like waiting.”

Kyle pulls on my hand so I fall against his chest. “Remind me,” he mutters as his mouth comes down on mine. We cling to each other for several moments, and I remember how much I like waiting too—and not waiting. We’ve been at it all week and every time I want him just as much as I did the time before.

“Clearly I need to work harder at tiring you out,” he says in a low voice against my mouth. I smile because I have been exploding with energy this week—and orgasms.

“Yes! Please! Harder!” I tease, pulling at him again. I’m breathless and wanting too, but I’m eager to be out with him. This week we’ve mostly holed up in his dorm room. Wednesday morning when we arrived together to Marjorie’s class it was almost a public declaration, but tonight feels official and I’m full of nervous excitement. We seem like a couple and I feel like squealing.

“Lani! That’s not helping—“ The grumbling is back, and his expression is frustration itself. And I happen to know this guy has no reason to look frustrated.

I go up on tiptoes and brush a very light kiss against his very nice mouth. “Later. I promise.” I’m serious now and he squeezes my waist before nodding.

“Yeah. Let’s get it over with then,” he sighs.

And I realize with some surprise that Kyle isn’t really a party person. He’s not as quiet as I am, but he’s much more of a loner. I turn this over in my head as we walk in silence through the crisp night. The air feels rain-washed and the headlights of passing cars glow yellow in the darkness. Up ahead students spill out of a house that is all lit up and pumping a bass track.

“Hey—“ Kyle pauses, stopping abruptly. I turn to face him and his eyes are serious. “This is for you. You’re going to get attention.” He scans my outfit again, shaking his head.
