Just Friends

Chapter 9

Inside, the music was pumping and this place was crowded too. The first Thursday night back on campus brought everyone out tonight. We grabbed drinks at the bar, downed them, and squeezed our way out onto the dance floor.

The four of us had just begun to dance on each other when each of us were picked off by a different guy, one by one.

The guy who stole me turned me to face him and I noticed he was quite attractive.

Just not Judd's level hot.

Ugh. Is this what my nights out will be from now on - turning hook ups away because they don't measure up to Judd?

I turned a random girl beside me who was dancing with her friends to the guy and smiled as I slipped away. His drunk ass didn't even seem to notice the switch out.

I walked back over to the bar for another drink. Perhaps I could flood my brain so it would allow me to find a random guy to just have meaningless sex with tonight without comparing him to who I actually wanted.

By the time I was able to get one of the busy bartenders' attention, he was already making his way to me with a drink in his hand and sat it down in front of me. It was the same martini as the virgin one Judd had made me last Saturday.

"Thanks, but I haven't ordered anything yet. This can't be mine." I slid the drink back toward him but he shook his head at me.

It's yours, from that guy over there." He pointed down to the other end of the bar and my eyes locked with the man he was pointing at.

Judd.

Heaven help me.

I took the drink and walked over to him with a smirk on my face.

"Can I expect this one to be virgin as well?" I said over the music.

He leaned in and his manly cologne overwhelmed my senses. I wanted to keep him close.

He brought his head down to my ear and I instinctively placed my hand over his chest. His taut, bulging muscles shifted under my touch as he leaned the rest of the way down.

I felt his chest vibrate and his breath caressed my own chest and neck as he spoke. "That depends. Have you already had enough to start calling me daddy?"

Fuck. Me.

Desire pooled in my belly and my knees already felt weak.

I gave him a sexy grin right back and looked up at him through my lashes. "Not yet." Wink.

I sipped the martini, and to my surprise it did have alcohol in it. My eye brows shot up and he chuckled.

"Thought I wasn't old enough for you to supply with alcohol," I sassed.

"Well I'm not on the clock, I don't work here, and as far as I can tell your ID says you're of age." He shrugged and gave me a devious grin that had me squeezing my legs together as I dampened downtown.

It was a good thing Sam was giving me this lingerie, because I definitely don't think she'd want it back now.

Judd tipped his beer back and drained it, set it on the bar, and pointed to my drink. "Finish that up and let's dance."
