She must have caught me staring because the next thing I knew she was wrapping her arms in front of her and I looked up and saw the most adorable scowl on her face. I tried to get out of it by winking at her but HOLY SHIT because Ashlynn blushed. I mean her cheeks turned a shade of red. I didn’t think she could help it because her scowl started to turn into a smile but then she shook her head and the scowl appeared back on her face.

The asshole Derrick was sitting next to her and he leaned over and whispered something in her ear. I wondered what it was because she looked back at me and then turned to Derrick and shook her head.

The rest of dinner I tried not to jump over the table. Not only did I want to rip Ashlynn’s dress off her body but I wanted to wipe the smile off Derrick’s face. It was just pissing me off how he would giggle with her and poke her side. Meanwhile this afternoon he was bragging about his new girl.

People tried to get me to join in on their conversations but I just wasn’t in the mood. I knew that once we got to the club I would be able to really drink and enjoy myself, so I would just have to deal with the mess I was in until then.

Once we paid for dinner we headed off to the club, Chateau Nightclub & Gardens, this hot server escorted us to our tables. Maddox had a table reserved for us so after singing, “Happy Birthday” to Iz and toasting to Sarah and Gabe we started the long night ahead of us.

I thought the server would leave once she got all of our drinks but she walked up to me and sat down on my lap. “I’m Samantha, so just let me know if I can get you anything else tonight.” Oh I so knew what this means.

Looking in Ashlynn’s direction I planned to rub it in her face but that asshole, Derrick pulled her out onto the dance floor. I almost lost my shit right there but then I felt Samantha’s hand going into my pocket and when I looked down I saw she was putting her phone number there. I looked at her and she was looking back at me. With that she winked and then turned to the rest of the group and said, “I’ll be back with your drinks.”

I couldn’t help it but I turned around to watch her ass shake as she left our table but then I saw red. A beautiful girl wearing red. She was swaying her hips and her head was hanging back while she was laughing and having a good time.

I had decided to just drink my beer and watch her for a little while. Maybe a little liquid courage would help me out but then I saw some cocksucker walk up behind her and grab her by the hips.

While one of my hands strangled the neck of the beer bottle the other was clenching into a fist. I wanted to beat his fucking ass but she seemed fine with it so I let it go. They started grinding into one another and danced for a couple of seconds and then something happened.

He had turned her around and was trying to kiss her but I saw her hands on his chest trying to push him away. I was immediately out of my seat walking towards them. It felt like I couldn’t get there fast enough. I was pushing people out of the way to get to Ashlynn. He kept trying to kiss her but she managed to push him away and said, “I’m not interested.” The second she turned her back he grabbed her by the wrist and I fucking lost it. Within seconds I got him to let go of Ashlynn and I punched that guy right in his nose.

He immediately fell to the floor and I yelled, “KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY GIRL YOU MOTHERFUCKER!” The club was so loud that nobody else noticed except for Ashlynn, myself and that bastard. After he got up and left I looked over in the direction of Ashlynn and saw her chest was rising and falling really fast and her eyes were bulged out staring at me.

I walked over to her and instantly wrapped her in my arms. I couldn’t help but smell her and holy shit, she reminded me of the summer time and then I started thinking about her in a bathing suit, her in a bra and panties and then her in nothing. I knew she could probably feel my throbbing dick against her stomach but she didn’t even flinch. I pulled away from her and looked in her eyes and said, “Are you ok?”

She just nodded her head and said, “Thanks.” And what she did next completely stunned the shit out of me.

Ashlynn picked up my right hand, the one I used to punch that motherfucker and without taking her eyes off me she kissed my hand. The second her lips touched my hand I completely lost it. I grabbed Ash by the hips and pushed her up against the wall in the corner of the club and without thinking I kissed her. I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I needed to kiss her. I had waited so long to feel her lips up against mine. To feel her tongue dance with mine. To feel her body pressed up against mine.

And my god, was the wait worth it.

Her lips were plump and soft and tasted like vanilla. They tasted just how I imagined Ash would taste. Sweet and sexy all in one. Her body was made to fit up against mine. It started to get me thinking about how I would feel inside of her sweet little pussy.

If was at all possible my dick got harder and I started to grind up against her. At that point I thought she was going to push me away but Ash grabbed me by my shoulders and ground into me as well. I started to lick my way down her neck and felt the vibrations of her moans against my lips. She started to kiss along my jaw and then whispered, “Jason,” in my ear and my heart instantly dropped. I pushed away from her because as much as I wanted to I couldn’t screw up with Ash like that.

The look in her eyes nearly destroyed me because for a second I thought she was going to cry but then her face turned cold and before I knew it she was slapping me hard against the face and yelling, “FUCK YOU JASON!” at me.

I tried to grab her arm to apologize and explain to her why I couldn’t do this but Jade walked up to me and said, “I think you’ve messed up enough. Don’t you think Jason?” She didn’t give me time to say anything because she was in the process of running after Ashlynn. 

Chapter 2

Ashlynn

Jason was acting pretty weird all day. He seemed like he was nervous on the plane ride over so I just listened to music and read my book. I thought maybe he was nervous about being on a plane because his knee kept bouncing up and down and he either had his lower lip in his mouth nibbling on it or he was biting his nails. The first was extremely sexual so I was glad when he started biting his fingernails, because I dried up within a millisecond.

I decided to give him his space but then he went and got ready in Sarah and Gabe’s room for Isabelle’s birthday dinner. As soon as he walked out of the door with his suit my stomach began to rumble and my heart beat quickened.

I started to think about whether I had done anything wrong but in all honesty I had not really talked to him that much lately. When we first started as freshmen Jason was always coming over to hang out with Jade and I. We were either studying and doing homework together or we were going out to the frat parties and getting really drunk and lying around in bed the following day because we were suffering deathly hangovers.

But three years later I was finally deciding to get over my super huge crush on Jason Williams. Jade had always rooted for us because she said that we were perfect together. She said we evened one another out and as much as I hoped that would happen it hadn’t yet and I don’t think it ever would.

When he left my room without looking back to go change in another room I was hurt but decided to take a deep breath and move on.

Going to the restaurant I decided to sit down and I saw Jason look at me with wide eyes. I patted the seat next to me and bobbed my head towards him but he shook his head. I’m not going to lie, because it really hurt but it was fine with me because the only other seat available was the one directly across from me. Even better.

Even though I was pissed because he was acting weird all day he was still the only man that got my heart to skip a beat and beat twice as fast all at the same time. He gave me butterflies and goose bumps. He made me nervous and I wanted to crawl out of my skin even while he made me feel so comfortable in my own skin and being myself.

Derrick walked in right after Jason so he sat next to me during dinner. I was relieved that I had Derrick by my side. He would be able to calm me down and get my mind off of Jason.

Feeling Derrick lean into me he whispered in my ear, “Wipe that frown off your face, Ash.”

I turned to Derrick and attempted to smile but I couldn’t. I was hurt by the way Jason was acting and I didn’t understand what I had done wrong. I went back to looking down at my plate and playing with my food.

I could feel eyes on me so looking in Jason’s direction I saw that he was staring at me. I thought when I looked into his eyes they were going to be filled with anger and rage, but they weren’t. His pupils were dilated and I could see that he was breathing a little bit harder than normal. His eyes were on mine and then I noticed that he took in the rest of my appearance and stopped on my breasts.

My red dress had a deep cut in the front so the girls were on display and ready for some action. The second I saw his eyes stop there my nipples instantly tightened and I got the chills. My arms were covered in goose bumps and I could feel my panties getting moistened. I could feel a throb starting so I attempted to cross my legs to relieve some of the pressure but nothing was working.

I started to get really self-conscious because I just wanted to jump over that table into his lap and kiss him so I wrapped my arms around myself to get him to stop. I knew if he looked at me any longer with that look in his eyes I wouldn’t have cared where we were.
