#1 - Shocks & #1 - Drums 6-10-20 #1 - Guitar 14/2/20 "Why did you come here tonight?" He whispers, looking down at my lips in frustration. He's fighting an internal battle with himself. I reach out and touch his arm, he stands completely still. "Maybe it's the only way..." I gasp as he reaches for both of my hands and starts walking me backwards. I swallow hard. I want him, and nothing else matters. Fuck the consequences, this is happening. *** He's pinning me down as his tounge slowly caresses mine, and I find myself automatically tangling my fingers through his hair, gently tugging and encouraging him. "Keep going." I whisper into his mouth, before pulling his lips back down on to mine. Our kiss is faster this time, much more urgent and passionate. I arch my back allowing him to slip his hands behind my back and undo my bra clasp. Then he hesitates. "I want you. All of you." I wrap my legs around his waist, fulling pressing his arousal up against mine, and he grunts. "Please." He breathes into my neck. I'm making this hard for him. Good. "We can't, it's not smart." "We can." I assure him. And without another moments hesitation, he's kissing me like I've never been kissed before and his hands are roaming all over my body, and my hands are tugging at his boxers and he's pulling my thong down. And finally, finally.. *** Jamie wasn't looking for love when she started college, but if it's meant to be it'll be - right? Jamie Hawkins is an 18 year old Freshman at NBU - a college famous for producing the hottest musicians on the planet.

But when the sexy, moody, arrogant Noah Adams comes crashing into her life on her first day of college, things may not be as straight forward as she had hoped. Jamie didn't plan on falling for Noah, and he most certainly did not plan on falling for her or any other girl. With twists, shocks, parties and sex, it's gonna be interesting.
