know.”
I grinned. “Then I can just sorta squint and imagine it’s a massive sex fest.”
With a roll of his eyes, Denny steered his truck towards Butte.
As luck would have it, I didn’t get to see any asses in the air. We showed up just as the yoga class let out with a small crowd of people emerging from the front door.
Damn .
But yoga clothes were so fucking awesome. Tight stretchy pants and little tiny tops. You could see every curve and slope of a woman’s body, and some of these women were scorchingly hot. I watched as they chatted and laughed with a sense of camaraderie that left me feeling just a bit empty. It reminded me of what my buddies and I had been before. Like they all still were because their chicks all were, while I was on the outside looking in.
Ugh, fuck that . There were way too many fish in the sea for me to limit myself, no matter how warm and fuzzy it all looked sometimes. The grass is always greener, after all. My buddies were probably staring wistfully at me, missing their rock and roll lifestyles as I banged one chick after another night after night.
“Here’s a couple of the guys right now,” Felicity said, stepping from the rest of the class as she flashed a bright smile at Denny. “This is my husband, Denny,” she grinned, slipped her arm around his waist, then pointed at me, “and that’s Justin.”
“Watch out for him, though,” Raven laughed. “He’s kind of a slut.”
As I looked beyond them to see who they were talking to, Rain’s eyes met mine. And just like that first day at Tech, they widened in shocked recognition.
“Oh, fuck,” she breathed, echoing that other moment.
I caught myself saying the exact same thing.
“Fuck.”
All the Mofos’ girls stopped short, looking back and forth between me and Rain, who started stepping away backwards.
“You know,” she was saying, “I just remembered I have a test I need to study for.”
Felicity arched her brow. “A test? You’re a student?” she asked, then cut a sharp glance at me before looking back to Rain who absentmindedly nodded.
Ilsa’s eyes widened. “At Tech?”
I could almost see little light bulbs popping up over the girls’ heads.
“Yeah,” Rain answered, “and I really… I’ve got… yeah, so… later.”
She gave a weak smile and turned to walk away.
“Some other time, then?” Felicity called after her, and Rain responded with a wave and some noncommittal, barely audible mumble.
“He’s not that big of a slut,” Raven offered, but Rain just walked even faster.
I watched her retreat for a moment, a bit awed by just how fucking phenomenal her ass looked in those little yoga pants. It was bad enough seeing her in class, but I was able to somehow separate myself there. I had a job to do and, while it wasn’t easy to keep my thoughts on track, it was easi er . But seeing her outside of class… damn …
Suddenly I realized that the others were all watching me. Watching me as I watched her walk away. Even Denny mirrored Felicity’s suspicious expression.
“A student,” Ilsa muttered.
“A student at Tech,” Raven nodded.
Felicity arched an eyebrow as she threw me a hard look. “She wouldn’t by any chance be in your class, would she, Justin?”
“Ya ridin’ that bitta fluff?” Denny asked, not even attempting to be vague.
“Dude! English, you fucker!” I snorted, hoping like hell that I sounded slightly normal, even though I was suddenly hard as a rock and ready to roll. “She’s a student, and yes, I have her in a class.”
“I’ll bet you’ve had her,” Denny grinned.
“I don’t fuck students,” I growled.
Felicity gave me one last hard look. “I’d bet money you fucked that one.”
“You don’t have to avoid them because of me,” I said quietly.
Rain was looking out one of the windows in Engineering Hall, studying the distant city below the hilltop campus as I headed to my first class. Winter was headed our way, and the smoke and
