"So where have you been all night?" I asked Jordan when she returned a couple of hours later.

"I was with Slater," she replied sheepishly. I knew there was something up with the two of them.

"And did you get lucky?" I teased her, wiggling my eyebrows suggestively. She shook her head at me as she walked over to her bed and lay down.

"No, we just talked."

"You mean to tell me that you spent all night with him and nothing happened? You just talked?" I asked, shocked that things hadn't gone further between the two of them.

"Yes, we just talked," she confirmed and tried to stifle a yawn. Well, that was unexpected. I couldn't stop myself from yawning. I hadn't been able to get any sleep. Despite my logic, I couldn't shake the nervous fear that had settled in my stomach.

"And why are you so tired?" she asked with an arched eyebrow.

"Because I was having mind-blowing sex with Sin," I admitted with a smug smile. I had already decided I wasn't going to tell anyone about finding the underwear on my bed.

"More than once," I added as my smile widened. When I remembered our night together, my stomach fluttered with excitement. She looked at me with confusion.

"But you went home because you weren't feeling well," she argued, trying to figure out how I'd ended up with Sin.

"Yeah, I did. It's a long story. All you need to know is that Caleb and I are just friends and Sin and I are...something."

I couldn't say we were friends with benefits because we weren't friends, so the only way to term it was 'acquaintances with benefits.'

"Really?" she asked, sitting up. I definitely had her attention.

"Yes," I confirmed. "We agreed that while we have this arrangement in place, we won't fool around with anyone else. And when we've both had enough, we walk away and no one gets hurt."

"You really think it's going to work?" she asked. I could see she wasn't convinced that it was a good idea.

"Yes, I do," I replied. I was living my life and I was enjoying every moment of it.

*************

The next couple of days passed quickly. Between classes and studying, I was very busy. It also wasn't helping that I wasn't sleeping well. Despite trying to ignore what happened with the underwear, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was something more than a jealous ex of Sin.

Caleb and I had transitioned back to being friends quickly. Maybe it was because we hadn't really dated for that long. He was funny and easy to be around. I didn't see him much outside of class, but around college I saw him quite often.

One afternoon after class we were walking down the hallway. We stopped for a moment and he told me something that made me laugh and I touched his arm. As I lifted my eyes, they clashed with Sin. Just the sight of him was enough to take my breath away.

Even dressed in a faded pair of jeans and a plain white shirt, he looked smoking hot. He was leaning against the wall. His gaze was dark and brooding as he watched Caleb and me. I gave him a tentative smile, but he didn't smile back. I hadn't seen him since our night together and I wasn't sure how to act around him. I wondered if I should go up to him and greet him, but his lack of response to my smile made me stop myself.

Maybe talking to each other outside of when we met up to have sex was not included in our arrangement. Noticing my distraction, Caleb's eyes followed mine to Sin. Sin was openly staring at me and Caleb looked back to me.

"I know you have history with him, but I think you should stay away from him," Caleb warned and I felt myself bristle at what he said. I tried to calm my irritation down.

I wondered how Caleb would react if he knew exactly how close I'd been with Sin. I had to stop the secret smile from touching my lips. Caleb didn't need to know anything about my personal life. So I kept quiet. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I didn't have to explain my actions to anyone. I did what I wanted, what made me happy. That was all that mattered. I wasn't going to allow everyone else's opinions sway my own decisions.

Irrespective of the tattoos and piercing and the 'don't give a fuck' attitude, I believed there was more to him. The fact that he'd watched over me the night someone spiked my drink showed me that there was more to him than the bad-boy that everyone else saw.

I glanced in the direction of Sin to see him push off the wall and walk toward us. This was going to be interesting.

"Hi," Sin greeted me first and gave me that sexy smile of his. Suddenly I felt tongue-tied and shy. It was ridiculous.

"Hi," I managed to reply huskily. Caleb touched my arm and it reminded me that we weren't alone. They gave each other a brief nod of the head while they sized each other up.

"I need to talk to you," said Sin, breaking the awkward silence that had settled between the three of us.

"Sure," I said to him. I turned to Caleb.

"I'll see you tomorrow," I said. Caleb gave me a smile and then turned to glare at Sin. Sin held his gaze and glared back. These two didn't like each other at all and they made no pretense about it.

"I'll see you tomorrow," Caleb echoed to me before he turned and left.

I turned to give Sin my attention, expecting him to say something to me, but he just took my hand in his and began to walk down the hallway in the opposite direction of Caleb.

Once we turned the corner he opened the door to the janitor's closet and pulled me inside. He closed the door behind us. The room was dimly lit. I was about to ask Sin what he wanted to talk about when he pushed me against the wall and covered my mouth with his.

It took me by surprise. I threaded my fingers through his hair as his hands rested on my waist. He kissed me hard and I groaned. As I opened my lips slightly, he slipped his tongue inside and caressed mine.

The fact that we were in a closet and could be discovered at any moment didn't register with me. There were no thoughts. All that mattered was the feel of his lips against mine.

He lifted me by the waist and my legs wrapped around his hips. His lips trailed from my mouth to my jaw. Then his tongue flickered to the sensitive spot below my ear and I held on to him as I gasped. The ache between my legs intensified. I needed him now.

With his body he kept mine against the wall as his hand slipped between my legs. I was so wet now that my panties were soaked. He ran his finger lightly over the material as I pushed against him, needing more. He moved the material of my panties aside and pushed a finger into me. I gripped his shoulders as I moved against his hand. He slid another finger into me and pumped harder. He kissed me hard as I moved more desperately against his hand. The ache between my legs became unbearable.

"Please," I whispered huskily.

He stopped for a moment and eased his fingers out of me. Slowly, he eased me down onto my legs. I was scared he was going to walk away, but instead he got a foil pack out of the back pocket of his jeans and tore it open. Quickly he unbuttoned his jeans, letting them drop to the floor as he pushed his boxers down and rolled on the protection.

Then he kissed me and lifted me by the butt. My legs wrapped around his waist again and he leaned me against the wall as I felt him push against me. I gasped as he slid into me in one smooth stroke and he groaned against my lips. I held onto his shoulders as he began to fuck me against the wall. It was hot and hard. His expression was unreadable as he watched me hold on desperately to him as I felt the build up to my orgasm.

I gripped his shoulders and bit down on my lip to stifle a scream as I came. He slammed harder into my body as he began to reach his own release. A few more frantic thrusts and I felt his body tremble against mine.

We were both breathing hard as he eased me down to stand. My legs felt wobbly as I leaned against the wall for a moment. His arms were stretched out on either side of me as he rested his forehead against mine. His lips touched mine again, but this time the kiss was gentle. Then he pulled away and dispensed with the condom. As he pulled up his boxers and jeans, I smoothed down my skirt and tried to tidy my hair.

It was the first time that it registered we'd just been at it in a public place. He didn't look at me again as he buttoned up his jeans. I was unsure of what to say to him so I kept quiet. Then without saying a word to me, he opened the closet door and walked out.
