I 'm fucking exhausted, but I feel so much better after that shower.

JJ and I are rooming together tonight, so we make our way up to the eighth floor of the hotel we're staying at for the night. It's nothing super fancy. When we enter our room, the walls are a light beige color, and there are two queen-sized beds with white comforters: the standard.

I dump my bag on the end of my bed, digging around for some sweats, my toothbrush, and cell phone.

My phone's made its way to the very bottom of the bag, and when I pull it out and unlock the screen, I see the most beautiful sight I could possibly imagine. I must've hit my head really fucking hard if I'm seeing Aiyana's gorgeous big brown eyes staring back at me with not one, but six texts playing across my screen.

I open the messaging app up and, sure enough, my eyes aren't playing tricks on me. I read each text, and my heart fucking swells. She says Kat's worried about me, but I know that's a cop-out. She'd have texted me herself or called me, or hell, called Ale if she was that worried.

Aiyana was worried about me.

I can't help the cheesy, shit-eating grin that spreads across my face, threatening to leave my cheeks sore tomorrow.

"What's got you looking like the mouse who found the cheese over there?" JJ asks. He quirks a dark brow at me, grinning.

"Aiyana finally texted me," I tell him, and he nods because I've been almost as bad as Ale is, but for years now, so he knows exactly what that means.

I've never told anyone any details; they've got no clue that we spent our entire senior year sneaking around behind everyone's backs or that I've eaten her pretty pussy out so many times I can recall the taste based on memory alone.

I break that train of thought, my dick getting hard just thinking about her and not wanting to deal with that while sharing a room.

I reread her messages, reveling in her concern before finally responding.

I knew you cared, little viper.

Little Viper

I don't. Kat was worried.

Little Viper

I don't care that much, anyway.

Little Viper

Well, I don't *not* care.

Keep telling yourself that.

Little Viper

Even now, at the ripe age of 28, you're still living in the land of the imaginary.

If it means I get to live with you, I'll gladly be the king of the land!

I can't help but continue smiling at my phone. I don't even care that she's denying her feelings for me. She's replying , and that's all I need.

Little Viper

I want you to know, I'm rolling my eyes at you right now.

The prettiest eyes in the world. I feel honored 3

Little Viper

You're full of it.

Yeah, well, you keep replying so…You could be full of me too...

Wait, don't take that as a reason to stop!

God, I'm fucking desperate for this woman.

Little Viper

Kas, your desperation is showing…

I

AM

DESPERATE

But only for you, little viper.

Little Viper

You're annoying me. This viper has fangs. You'd do well not to forget it.

I could never.

Go to dinner with me?

Little Viper

No.

So, you'll think about it?

Little Viper

Goodnight, Kassian.

Goodnight, my little viper 3

I can picture her lying on her couch, rolling those gorgeous brown eyes at me. I wish I could kiss her right now.
